Current Events > Would Castlevania SotN still be a good game without RPG elements?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Why are you guys going to indepth with this semantics? This isn't hard to understand what I'm trying to say. Stop trying to build a fake bridge to make things work for you.

Ive already told you my opinion on it.

If you remove everything from SotN that involves any sort of real player-agency: items dropping, items being bought, gaining XP, using magic, equipping armor and weapons, etc. you dont really have a game.

Yeah, I'm a little confused as to why people are trying to get so into details when it's already been summed up as "just Richter mode."

And no, I don't think it'd be a very good game.

just Richter mode

Even Richter Mode has more going on it: Holy Water, the Axe, the Cross, etc - those are all gone in this hypothetical scenario.

I just feel like you obviously know what TC meant and are trying to be obstinate about it.

I was just trying to think of ways that would still make the game fun, but none of that is allowed apparently.

TC obviously meant that Richter would have subweapons though.

I have already stated that ammo type of weapons will not be gone. Holy shit.

I have already stated this. These guys are obviously just selectively reading and understanding.

The TC is really saying this: Would SotN still be a good game if it was more like the Castlevanias before it?

Easy to get that confused based on what Ive read in this topic, but that is what Im going with.

And I also agree that, no, it would not have been good.

Whatever guys.

You knew what he meant based on your first post:

It would be more the old style Castlevania games.

And those sucked

But I think what confused everybody was this post:

Yeah I don't think you guys are understanding what I meant by taking away the RPG elements.

No EXP/LVL up
No Item drops
No Gold
No Equipment what so ever
No MP gauge
No Store

Some of those things are in the older games.
