Is nostalgia blinding me?

>IGN

Castlevaniafags were thirsty as fuck and would take anything that resembled classic sidescrolling Castlevania at that point.

Same reason people defended Lords of Shadow. They desperately wanted a new game and didn't care if it was a mediocre hack and slash with brain dead combat.

That's the thing, I saw some other reviewers, but most of them thought the game was okay, I thought it was shit.

I agree. Then again, I actually thought Lords of Shadow was fine, didn't care much about it myself though, only played it like twice and got bored.

Its one of those cases that would have been better for literally everyone if they changed its name. Most of the hate LoS gets comes from Castlevania fans. I mean sure, they are in their right to be mad about the misuse of the franchise name, but the game itself is a 7/10, which is actually an ok score.

To add stuff, if they changed the name to, I dont know, Blood: Lords of Shadow, and sell the game like an "action game that features castlevania elements" then I assure you most Castlevania fags would be riding its dick. Same shit that happened to DmC really, a 3/10 game that would have been a 6/10 if only it had a different name. It would even be accepted in CUHRAYZEE threads.

I'm not talking about Lords of Shadow, but about Mirror of Fate, the 3DS one. I also thought LoS was fine, it's the 3DS one that I thought it was shit.
