Alex Navarro did the review
Looks like NES review from my search. I cannot find the 64 game in their site.
I'm waiting for the 1080ti, and I'll probably get a 4k monitor at that time. For now my 980ti is plenty for VR and anything else I throw at it.
Same. 980ti is fine at 1440p if you like IQ (and gsync evens out those drops), but really want that 1080ti

Vinny's killing me. He's pretty slow to get angry with games, but he's pretty impatient when it comes to figuring stuff out. This boss has very basic, predictable and avoidable patterns.

If 1080ti comes within 80% of 980ti SLI performance and I will be a single GPU man again.
Bloodlines isn't even bad in an entertaining way like Simon's Quest or Castlevania 64. It's just so ugly and boring.
EVGA makes good stuff. Got my 970 from them. Solid OCs with good coolers and good support programs if you need them. Though it won't be applicable to you, the fact they let you trade your card in and upgrade to the next level if you feel you want it within a certain timeframe is nice too.
Names are dumb, but that's pretty much all PC gaming hardware.
Didn't order a FE card. Got. EVGA GTX 1080 FTW edition (fucking dumb name...). Higher clock rate, better cooling and cheaper price than the FE. Won't have it for a couple of weeks but worth it.

Man Vinny is going to be miserable when he gets to the actual hard parts of this game. The axes where you have to kneel at the exact right time are really difficult (and super broken).
Anyone who doesn't have a Gsync monitor should get one. 27", 1440p, 165hz, and IPS. Strix 970 is running Overwatch on Epic at like 100 frames. It's great.
That sounds amazing, but I feel no reason to upgrade from my 1080p Dell IPS. The colors on that thing are damn good and really nice Gsync monitors cost more than I want to spend.
I'm certain it's amazing, but I'm fine with what I've got.
Is Bloodlines as bad as Castlevania 3? I can't watch it atm
Castlevania 3 isn't bad per se, it's just stupid hard. It was fun to watch. Bloodlines doesn't look as hard, it's just stupid and boring.

I think this will be unpopular opinion, but I think I like the look of Bloodlines over Castlevania 4.

Frankenstein in a black suit coat and ridiculously thick soled shoes is a classic look.

I'm sure this has been stated multiple times over the previous pages but holy FUCK this game is fucking awful.
Yeah it's really bad. I swear people in this thread were saying that it's good and now I'm assuming that they were trolling.

No it's legitimately great. What's wrong with it other than Vinny not playing it well?

As Austin mentioned, there are people out there who like this game.
I have to imagine they are just people that have deluded themselves into thinking picking the Genesis over the SNES was a good choice.

I had both systems. This was a much better game than SCIV.
Nah. SCIV is too easy, but this game is one of the worst Castlevanias I've seen. Bad levels, horrible art direction, visual gimmicks that only exist to frustrate players, stupid continue system that only exists to pad out the game's lite content, etc.I had both systems.

I've been looking at the option of a Gysnc monitor. I only hear great things about them.

A console war so old, that I was not old enough to pick a side.
I'm not sure I even knew there were different video game consoles until the PS1/N64 era.

See I disagree with every part of that. I can't believe he got this far, though.
Edit: I love this boss. It's fantastic.

Yeah that about covers it, I think I'd rather play Simon's Quest.

this boss is amazing
well let me break it down for you
there's the snes
and for people that don't give a shit about RPGs, there's the genesis
and for weirdos that want to play nothing but bonk and shmups, there's the TG16

That stupid spinning tower 'camera' in that last boss fight is nigh unforgivable. It serves zero purpose other than artificially increasing the boss' difficulty by disorienting the player. Bad game design all around.

It was so good, though. So good. I can't tell if people are playing a joke on me or not.
