Symphony of the Night was disappointingly enjoyable

[NWNisFUN]

lol hes actually using the mace in the video

[KayoteThunder]

This game was NOT DISSAPOINTING!!!

[KINFIN123]

He doesn't even know how to play this game. I didn't see a single spell used. He kept on using the sword in the early areas, and he didn't backstep at all.

[paleknight1]

The guy who reviewed this should be fired!

[HughLeopard]

"It doesn't do anything to distinguish itself from other Castlevania games." Yeah, I agree, aside from the fact that it's COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM THE REST OF THE SERIES IN EVERY WAY.

[ParticleFX]

This game is disappointingly overrated, yet it lives up to all its hype. At times I hated the controls, because they were just right for doing what I wanted to do, but I felt empty inside since there wasn't a button that would allow to dash backwards. That button was the triangle. But the thing that was just unforgivable is that they made you think you could play as Richter! Which you did if you chose the correct option.

[BruisedMilk]

What is a man? A miserable little pile of breast cancer.

[AlkalineBatterien]

Sooo, is Crash Bandicoot bad...? Just to throw in another question

[macr0machine]

Holy shit, I haven't seen many of the navgtr videos yet, but this one seems to indicate that he's a freaking retard. He was bad at the game, and didn't like it too much, but couldn't articulate WHY that was. Also, seperate scores for controls and gameplay? Wow.

[Axelhander]

To be fair, SOTN is overrated. Huge fun, but not deserving of quite all its accolades.

[KiteStrongart]

-- Vampires.

[TwentyDollarTip]

George Wood has been dead for like 5 years now... R.I.P. man, I'll miss your dumb ass reviews!

[videogamenostalgia]

@TwentyDollarTip He faked his death for sympathy from people aggressively trolling his website. He's been spotted alive since the date when he was supposed to have 'died'...

[somedamnfangirl]

He didn't even pronounce Konami's name correctly. Ugh.

[GDorofu]

Did his URL change in this video? I thought it used to be Navigtr.org, the he dropped the i in this one.

[teeterharris]

This is one of the few games with replay value. What game satisfies Navigtr? Does it have to be Gone with the Wind: Gold-Lined Zombie Edition?

[53knights]

@teeterharris what game satisfies navgtr, "the guy game" since its got many front loaded anvils

[FireDragonKaryu]

@teeterharris It has to have lots of "cinema scenes" rather than gameplay, so I guess to him Night Trap is the greatest game ever.

[tokkzikk]

"So much for realism" I guess not jumping while using a whip is the price to pay to be able to realisticly jump 6 meters in a vampire game.

[IcyPheonix3]

NAVGTR did you kill Rita?

[Viktor13036]

Realism: you can totally crack a whip while jumping...

[FreedInsanity]

"Nothing to set it apart from previous Dracula outings."

Except for, you know, the entire structure of the game.

[MrStaffy87]

this is one of my all time favorite games,this fucktard couldnt tell his arse from his elbow #RAGE#

[imanerd000]

the best castlevania ever is... disappointing!

[Cherikko84]

KO-NAMMY



[fredrickpendragon]

SotN is the smoothest-controlling game I have ever played. What the fuck is he talking about?

[ToastMaster623]

@fredrickpendragon *8 whipping directions in Super Castlevania 4, plus moonwalking

(oh and sorry on commenting on an old comment)

[fredrickpendragon]

@ToastMaster623 Oh, so he's butthurt about that even though the only directions you can't attack in SotN are straight up and straight down, and both of those "problems" are made trivial by the special items and spells. I understand.

Also, no worries, I appreciate discussion.

[ToastMaster623]

@fredrickpendragon You can attack in multiple directions in that game? I'm sorry, it's been WAY to long since I've played SotN...

[fredrickpendragon]

@ToastMaster623 it's not particularly easy because the Playstation's dpad is a real piece of shit but you can attack down-diagonal and I think up-diagonal. If you can't attack up-diagonal it just helps fix the issue Castlevania IV had where you had literally no reason to use sub-weapons.

[gethighontowels]

Bullshit! Rock Band is a game that literally makes you sing out loud! Zing!

[Plingio]

10 years ago, not 20, but still.............

[MellowMink]

The control grade goes down two whole grades because you can't move for half a second while attacking?

[popsszz]

"I need REALISM in my vampire games!"

[MistaRoburtz]

Symphony of the night was a bad game. then again, its pretty good, then again i hate it, then again i love games like it, then again its pointlessly retarded, then again i'm not too bright myself then again.....................Fuck you. Breast cancer.

[joshuapsgibbons]

I never played Symphony of the Night; someone told me there was no breast cancer.

[PugOfDoom]

You shut your whore mouth, Crash Bandicoot 2 was the shit.

[AMReese]

How come everyone keeps saying "Navgtr" when they criticize this video? Does no one realize that Navgtr were only the people that took the videos and reuploaded them several years later?

That's like getting angry at Ed Glaser for Turkish Rambo.

[TackyRackyComixNEO]

@AMReese Does it really matter at this point?

[AMReese]

@TackyRackyComixNEO Two months after my comment? No, it doesn't really matter.

[XGiftedGamerX]

I hate this fun to play game!

[Archimonde259]

"How can you be disappointed in that game, it was awesome!"

DISAPPOINTINGLY awesome.

[Sorait]

My view on this is that, for them, it was so enjoyable, it actually disappointed them on how it didn't frustrate them enough.

[MrUMABD]

lol'd at "Unlike Crash Bandicoot 2. . ."

[milleniumfrisbee]

@MrUMABD Seriously, I actually hate CB 2 for many reasons I rather not go into right now. I played SOTN on an emulator and despite some of the emulator issues (ie one of the sound effects glitching out or beeping) it was imo 1000x better.

[ShirosakiX]

Inception

[Shawaeon]

I too want more realism in my sidescrolling platformers.

[pat4luigi13]

You know what's sad but totally expected? The actual review has less views than this, a video making fun of the review. Can someone say FAIL?

[EDT3themonkey]

@pat4luigi13 that happens with almost all the vids they do

[worm4real]

trolled by navgtr

[TheDarkestxHourx]

Navgtr says ":iamdisappoint:"

[PrivateSnowballTFC]

Crash Bandicoot 2 was cool, though.

[Mintergalactic]

How the hell did he get that Gargoyle statue when he got hit with Stone status? That's like Shiny Pokemon levels of rare. The worst people have the best luck.

[agentsh]

What is a navgtr?

A miserable little pile of breast cancer.

[excalibur4770]

Are you serious. Who can't like castlevania SOTN

[GoRedskinsAndWizards]

This has probably been mentioned before, but Diabetus' Clinton imitation line should've been "I wanna suck the blood outta your front-loaded anvils."

[TheOneYouFear1]

see, now i like navigtrs voice, but he is too much like glen beck to be liked

[SUPREMExBURRITO]

"i need realism in my vampire killing games"

[TheBlackYousa]

I gotta ask, why does this guy keep saying "We"?

It's completely obvious he does this shit alone in his basement.

Because he is STUPID and has breast cancer

[gs68]

Koh-NAA-me.

[HGAlchanii]

I didn't know Schizophrenia was contagious. Thanks Navgtr!

[ChuWanggAmes]

He was disapointed because there was no breast cancer

[RomanBaker23]

i loved symphony of the night ..... but crash bandicoot 2 was awesome as well :(

[Killeverysingleone]

This game would have been better if Dracula got more dark powers after sucking the blood from a breast cancer victim.

[SteveMagatama]

Should I feel bad that I enjoyed Crash 2 more than I enjoyed SOTN?

[Frozone470]

the only reason I was disappointed with it is because I sucked at a great game

[Judgementxxx]

I'd give this tit a disappointing slap around the head.

[MegaSonicBro]

Why haven't they been making new reviews? Thumbs up if you want more reviews!

[DorianCairne]

@MegaSonicBro If by "they" you mean Mr Enjoyably Dissapointing Breast Cancer here, it's probably because he's dead. If you mean slowbeef and Diabeetus, maybe they feel a bit off about ripping on a dead guy. Either way, it's their call.

[elshotaru]

How did he even compare the masterpiece that is Castlevania to Crash Bandicoot? That should be illegal.

[Archimonde259]

Navgtr is the best worst video game reviewer ever. Every damn one of his reviews bursts with the stuff of memes. Front-loaded anvils? Cancer-suffering Lara Croft? Driving your pregnant wife to the hospital through waterfalls? SOTN was dissappointing but enjoyable? People who don't play Donkey Kong are stupid? FF7 is a bad game because it actually has more gameplay than cinematics?

These reviews are the stuff of LEGENDS.

[EponymousKid]

@Archimonde259 There's nothing this man can't get wrong, seriously.

[PaperMario15]

@PSGamerX /watch?v=gvdf5n-zI14

[EponymousKid]

So, basically, the only things he really committed to through the whole video is that you should be able to swing a sword and jump while doing so, that this ability would be very realistic, and that Crash Bandicoot 2 is better than SotN.

I can't get enough of this guy.

[Bigbattle22]

I just got SotN on PSN, and I don't see why NAViGaTR thinks it's bad.

Ok, the CGI cutscene is really old, but the gameplay is good, I love the music, and the Voice Acting is not crappy for a 90s PS1 game. Why are they bitching about this?

Oh wait, this is the same guy that said breast cancer on a girl game char was a good story idea.

[shu12321]

Can't swing while jumping? Thats it, I'm getting Crash Bandicoot 2.

[shu12321]

@shu12321 Or jump while swinging, but you get the point. lol

[NocturneofSerenity]

Dracula gets breast cancer, and It's up to Alucard to drive Maria to the abortion clinic through a waterfall! Richter attempts to scale the great towers of Castlevania, but he's on his deathbed! Death tells mortals that they are stupid, and even though it's hurtful, it's the truth. And when Dracula is vanquished (by cancer) some wacky camera angles show castlevania crumbling, all without a rope! What the heck? OK, enough of Dracula.

[pat4luigi13]

It's like an oxymoron happening over and over again. Disappointingly great?

[TehComs]

He keeps referring to a collective entity, a 'we'.

He must be a hive-minded entitiy sent to rant to us about games we have already enjoyed.

[sankunsama]

"What is a woman? A miserable front-loaded anvil of breast cancer! But enough talk, if you do not agree with me, you are stupid!"

[Thomal9]

He would have given it a higher score but there was a distinct lack of breast cancer.

[grendelee]

I dont think he even played the game, it sounds like hes doing a cold reading "The graphics are good for bad graphics. The level design is really great, except for the parts that were bad. This game is disappointingly amazing!"

[CraaazyRyan]

Man, every time I think of exploring Drac's castle before SOTN I keep getting this weird linear vision in my head. And time limits. What could that be?

[GenesisTree]

Lmao "I need realism in my vampire games."

[steveharley0345]

What is a man? a miserable pile of breast cancer!

[Son0fABatman]

@steveharley0345

But enough front-loaded anvils... Have at you!

[thesacredbeast2000]

its disappointing that you are in this world navigator you steal men's sanity and make them hate clinton something something, i cant think of anymore of this joke

[fuckdapuss]

lol disappointingly enjoyable? sounds like 90% of the gamestop employers

[NoNonsenseNihilist]

What is a man? A disappointing little pile of secrets!

[TheTlay101]

@NoNonsenseNihilist with breast cancer 

[Sneep29]

It's difficult to understand why he would compare two different games, from two different genres.

[Mesarphelous]

Anyone who doesn't like Castlevania: Symphony of the Night is a communist.

[AVGNROCKS1996]

@Mesarphelous "IF YOU DISAGREE WITH MEH YOU ARE STUPID" yeah hes a communist

[Tekkenfreek234]

I like Crash Bandicoot but....at what point was it better than Castlevania?

[SotNist]

yeah i can't stomach the original review too. that's how ridiculous the emerging polygon and fmv era was then.

[destenydevil666]

My internet connection is slow, so the video stopped at 0:21 . I like to think that's just the video going "Wait, what?" and stopping to analyze just how wrong he was xD

[chandgrit]

What is SoTN. A disappointingly great little pile of secrets. But enough NAViGaTR. Have at you.

[nintendork67]

What is a man!? A disappointing pile of secrets!

[LgndryThndr]

I want to suck the blood out of your veluptous chest melons

[gaminggoddess85]

*Double facepalm*

[OmegaChosen0]

Screw you SOTN is considered one of the best Castlevanias ever

[MrSpazDoctor]

heh, I actually liked Crash Bandicoot.

[Chamele7n]

@MrSpazDoctor

Me too. 

[ragrappy00]

you know whats sad NAViGaTR is still better then X-play....

[zydricpurdy]

@ragrappy00 best comment i have ever seen

[Gazooki69]

Did he just call it 'Sympathy of the Night'?

[Bastiest]

Yes, SOTN is REALLY disappointing. XDDD

[CrashBandicoot4Ever9]

When I heard Crash Bandicoot I stopped it there, I grew up with that series, motherfucker better respect, I watched his Crash Bandicoot videos though, I can't say I heard him get anything wrong..... Then again it's getting late and I'm not at my best so what do I know?

[mario64player]

@CrashBandicoot4Ever9 really? i couldnt peg you as a crash fan

[CrashBandicoot4Ever9]

@mario64player Well, from your name I'd say you like Mario 64, but that's beside the point, I grew up with Crash Bandicoot and PS1, I have every single Crash Bandicoot game released, so when someone makes fun of Crash they're making fun of my childhood hero.

[zebezd]

@mario64player Sarcasm is difficult to express in text, isn't it? >_>

[HazelCarter287]

What is it with Navgtr and fucking cinematics? Do actual movies just not exist in his bizarre world?

[ZineappleVids]

If Maria got breast cancer, the game would have been way better.

[Myrmidon51]

So he confuses the sword with the whip, ignores the shift to exploration-style gameplay, doesn't beat the game, doesn't even mention the game over screen(you know, the one major flaw the game had), and makes a pointless comparison to a game in an entirely different genre.

... I think this guy might actually be a worse reviewer than the Irate Gamer.

[Sye909]

@Myrmidon51 I think they should team up and make the worst thing ever.

I'm not talking worst video game related thing, but single, most terrible event in the history of man-kind.

A decade from now, a young mother who had just drowned her only infant child because she was forced to do so at gun-point will dry her tears and proclaim "Well, at least i didn't have to watch Navgtr and Chris Bores review of Hotel Mario"

[Stigtrix]

o_O'

What was that reviewer on?

It is one of the best Castlevania games and he dares to compare

it to the "quality" of Crash Bandicoot 2?!?!

The only thing I don't like about this game is that after I've played newer Castlevania games, I've been spoilt, so I want a bit more fluid controls and a nicer menu, but really... It's one of the best sidescrolling action games EVER!

[insertclichename]

What is with Navgtr and wanting cut-scenes? Shit man, just go watch a movie! Those things are like entirely made of cut-scenes.

[ChezJamesy]

"there's nothing to set it apart from previous castlevania games... With stunning action and RPG elements"

WHAT?!?!

[Siensane]

Sometimes I think Navgtr is a troll.

[Slaanash]

@Siensane You mean George Wood. navgtr (or NAViGaTR) stands for "National Association of Video Game Testers and Reviewers."

[Siensane]

@Slaanash Yeah that's what I meant xD.

[bb120308]

Navgtr is an asshole, he's like this: He hates side scrolling games, but he buys a game like Super Mario Bros. Then complains about it in a so called "Review" video. And tries to rip on it, even though he's embarrassing himself by contradicting himself.

[DarkOmegaMK2]

Its disappointing because its one of the best games for the PS1...?

[chosentonessournotes]

I'm almost positive that Navgtr is actually a company that reviews games for cruise liners.

[10zaq10]

i think his name should be navigayer

[GameOverthinkerFan7]

And then he hates on "cinematic" games like Final Fantasy VII that have cutscenes and comprehensive storylines.

[p3ngu1n48]

symphony of the night wouldn't disappoint if the main character was a woman with breast cancer

[mawknation]

I get the feeling that George Wood is just a very precious man. The sort of person who gets deeply offended if he's at a restaurant and his meal isn't plated perfectly.

And also he's deeply, deeply schizophrenic.

[KyleHyde11219]

What is Navgtr? A MISERABLE LITTLE PILE OF SECRETS!

[bloodriotiori]

@KyleHyde11219 DISAPPOINTING secrets non the less

[kefkasakura]

Die NAViGaTR ! You don't belong in this world !

[FlynnPeterTaggart]

SOTN was the best game in the series, and this FAG says this game is disappointingly enjoyable?

Navigtr must have problems!!!!

[DirtyTrick]

SotN was and is a brilliant game. NAVGTR's a fucking moron. The only people dumber than him are the idiots that actually paid him to do these reviews.

[RykoMD]

@DirtyTrick Navgtr bashed many of my fave games. His reviews are so corny. He can,t beat a game without using cheats. He dislikes a game without good visuals or cinemas. What a douchebag!.

[Iainlid]

I think Navgtr has multiple personallity disorder build upon hundereds of brain tumers

[TonyBranston]

Konammy?

What if I started calling you Nave-Git?

[nitemaric]

i love this game. this guy always has bad reviews. im suprised he doesnt give konami any challenges

[Myrmidon51]

You try to jump while swinging a whip, Navgtr.

[ragglefragglecalp]

whats funny is that the RP has more views than the original video lolz

[Teeg32]

In the interests of accuracy, i would like to point out that Singstar, Rock Band, Karaoke Revolution, and Lips! all do, in fact, make you sing out loud.

[WilltheMagicAsian]

God doom it.

[Cooliespy345]

"How is it disappointing this game was awesome!"

Oh Slowbeef, I think we all know by now Navigtr only likes games supplied with breast cancer.

[kingbooforums]

god this was the last navgtr RP ever made.

[musicmanz15]

Which gives me an idea for the next Castlevainia game. In the next game Alucard finds out he has hemophilia think of it. You'll see how a vulnerable son of Dracula still perseveres on his quest and must fly to the hospital when he takes damage while abiding by the air traffic laws.

[Ledundeadv66]

@musicmanz15 There's always the chance that it will suck -no pun intended-, but we guarantee the gaming world will be stunned, shocked, and moved at the efforts to make Alucard's character more meaningful.

We love Alucard, but it's about time the industry had a big shock for a change.

[0rionBTL]

Navgtr might be dead now, but Dracula with bring him back to life to drive his pregnant wife to the hospital.

[keyburrito]

Oh, navgtr.  What DO you here?

[knowom]

best music and game play of any of the castlevania games and one of the best side scroll games around for that matter

[TFLegendReborn]

Does this Navgtr know what the hell he's talking about??? I'm stumped about the whole thing to be honest... Loved the Clinton Joke.

[Cawby]

Disappointingly this game was absolutely amazing, and yet the visuals were disappointing in their beauty. Sadly that was great.

[bobfromspeedway1]

@Cawby So he's saying that he expected it to be bad and he wanted it to be bad but it wasnt so he thought it was pretty but not.

[nerdboy02]

Die, monster! If you think you belong in this world, you are stupid!

[GameOverthinkerFan7]

@nerdboy02 It may be insulting, but it's true!

[ForgeXBlack]

@nerdboy02 I want to personally want to thank you for writing the only comment that had me in stiches for 5 minutes.

[AceAttorney9000]

@nerdboy02

LOL, I know it's harsh, but it's the truth.

[cyberhoodlum]

dissapointing? Castlevania: SoTN is the best Castlevania game ever made. It beats the crap out of the handheld Castlevania games (like Aria of Sorrow) and I'd even say that it's better than any of the Belmont adventures.

[gregtamnel0576]

I think its prequel, Castlevania Dracula X: Rondo of Blood was the best of the classic Castlevania games. It's too bad it took so long to get released here in the US

[wideyon5]

navgtr is actually al fraken to anybody who didn't know

[charmanderareburn]

Wow, it's not that hard to nitpick navigtR.
