Is there a bounding "edge" on the map? Meaning if player 2 tries to walk away from player 1 are they they able to go off the screen (similar to Tails in Sonic 2&3)?Seraphis Cain said:

How is the online community for this game? I really want to give it a try but I'm a bit put off by all the stories I've heard of booting from games because of not playing as a certain character or for other various random reasons. Basically I don't want to get deeply involved with a fun game only to have it ruined by people with a childish attitude.

bad gameplay lol

Huh? I've played plenty with random groups. And they've all been pretty cool, too.

The players are cool, but we're all noobs! On the bright side, I am pretty good at predicting Dracula's movements from fighting him so much, except for those stupid rainbow triangles of death. He always gets me while I'm right underneath him, and it's usually a one shot death.

AL YOU CARD!
Just started last nite, as Alucard on single-player.. I guess my expectations were low because I am really impressed so far! The level designs are hot, and the fact you can still build up your character weapons and items. Also noticed alot of unlockable things you can buy off PSN, like music, characters, and maps. Meesa like a dis.
How does this compare to the DS Castlevania games? I absolutely love those and have really been craving more.
Someone asked earlier about the community but I'm not sure s/he was answered clearly. Would people kick you for playing weaker characters? My favorite of the DS games was Portrait of Ruin (just barely above OoE) so... Apparently I'd be playing one of the weaker characters in the game.
The price and DLC and stuff is a bummer but this seems like one of those games where if I don't get in early I may as well just forget about ever playing multiplayer.

It's quite different. Stage-based time attack stages that are more about loot grabbing than exploration.
Here's my review of the XBLA version.
Maybe that will give you an idea on what you're looking at.

Seraphis Cain (or anyone else), could you answer my question about the Co-op please? My purchase is hanging on it as I would really like to play this with my wife.

The goals are different, but it plays the same.
Right now, everyone is new, so I've rarely even seen people getting kicked when a group is trying to do one of the later chapters and someone new comes in who needs the chapter before it. I assume this behavior won't last.
The DLC is outrageous, but from what I've seen the DLC characters are pretty lame. The only things I'd get are the levels... but I'm trying to hold out since they cost so much.

Me and Lace were able to finally duo Drac, so we should all be good... You should check out chapter 10 though, it's crazy nostalgia and awesome. There's great gear to be had from chapters 8 and 10. You get upgrades for sunstone/moon stone in 8, while chap 10 features more higher drops that'd you get in hard. The R. spells are pretty killer for Charlotte too.
I started Soma finally as well last night, and hopefully Shanoa soon.

Is it me, or did they (finally) make the subweapon grind easier? I'm powering through it with Jonathan faster than usual, or at least it feels like it. Only have one Master Ring, to boot.

Oh man, I'm sorry, I didn't even see your other post. I'll check it now.
Okay, so what happens is the further apart the players are, the more the screen zooms out. There is no splitscreen whatsoever, though. Basically, the screen auto-zooms to fit all players on-screen.

I sprung for the Fuuma stage.
Also trying to get some Survival mode grinding in but I don't think anyone knows about the Astral ring trick yet.

Can't believe I'm buying all the DLC over again.
Oh well.
So many damn lousy players.
There are a billion resources out there for a game that's been out well over a year.
No reason for people to suck.

I'm new and I refuse to look for info. Fuck that, I'd rather enjoy the game myself. Granted, my friends play with me, I don't play with randoms because of attitudes like the one you have.
I wonder how well this game is doing sales-wise? It's pretty rare that 14 people on my list at the same time are playing the same game. Especially a downloadable one.

Their stats scale depending on the number of players but attack patterns remain the same---unless you're doing Chapter 10 or 11. In Chapter 10 The Count's pattern changes slightly if you have a lot of players. And in Chapter 11 the boss spams a lot more if theres a lot of players.
I've been playing this game for about a year now, got every piece of loot, here's a run of mine.
Ask me if you have any questions.

You should have avoided Chapter 8. Nobody plays chapter 8 anymore on xbox for a reason.
I agree with this person.DarknessTear said:
I don't have any friends with the game though... but I'll live. I struggled with going online and decided not to last night. I am afraid there's just going to be a bunch of jerks that expect people to be "pro" at a newly released game.
If you're looking for high level of play, wouldn't you go play on the 360? You can't expect people to do research for a damn game. There's a lot of fun to be had in figuring things out for yourself. It's the same reason a lot of people don't like following strategy guides. I hate when people expect you to make a hobby into a job.
Played last night with some teams. Got to Death's level. FUN STUFF! One group was all mic'd.. was fun, but sometimes irritating. Can you turn off the mic's in-game? I couldn't find..
I love the game mechanics so far. And someone was this weird ugly version of 8 bit Simon, swinging a sword and throwing japanese characters.. what a trip..
