I STILL never got to finish this. I'm right after the part where you fight The Fury, and you have to infiltrate Grozynj Grad. Wonderful game. One of my favorites.

I don't feel like finding all the boxarts.

My first playthrough. Holy fuck I am simply floored. I'm doing the whole game with the MK22 too, but I forgot I killed 4 GRUs at the beginning :(

I got to the part where you beat Col. Volgin for the first time. I skipped a cutscene on accident so I have to replay it again cause I'm anal like that.

I just finished Castlevania: Lament of Innocence.

It has some good aspects (orb/sub-weapon combos, music, voice acting, graphics) but the repetative rooms bring the whole game down. I had to keep checking my map every 5 seconds to make sure I was going in the right direction because there are only about 6-10 different types of rooms in each level and they reuse them over and over. The map was also a pain in the ass to use. It required all kinds of rotating and zooming and shit. WTF ever happened to just a regular freaking map? The level design is terrible. Most of the maps are symmetric. Talk about lazy. For a Castlevania game this is inexcusable.

Not only that but it isn't immediately obvious what you should do or where you should go a lot of them time. I hate games like that. I don't expect them to hold my hand but I don't want to have to be Sherlock Holmes either. Lots of times you'd have to jump up to a ledge that was off screen or walk to a certain spot in a room to make the camera move so that you could see a door that wasn't visible beforehand and stuff like that. I had about 60-70% of the castle explored before I fought my first boss.

Plus the game is incredibly short (it took me about 4 hours my first time through) and easy
(only the last boss, Death, was any sort of a challenge).
Speaking of bosses...
WTF Dracula is in the game and you don't fight him?

I honestly liked Castlevania 64 a heck of a lot more than LOI when I played it back in the day.
 
raiden III. and phoenix wright, which i know is crap, but which i'm addicted to anyway. comparisons to pc graphics adventures are way off...it's snatcher in wacky anime lawyerland. snatcher was crap too.

To be fair, the title of the thread is "What are you playing OCTOBER edition" so even though they may not tag they mean to pick it up and play it, they may very well have it preordered and paid off with every intention to play it, in October.
