Hey, did anyone of you guys get Castlevania Harmony of Despair or plans on getting it? Y'know, that new multiplayer Castlevania game that came out for XBLA.
It seems really fun to play in multiplayer, so I wanted to know if any of you had it.

I'm most likely going to get it.

plus most of the live members are pre pubescent Americans who act the hard man screeching on voice chat
Apparently XBox Live-servers are way more stable and less laggy than PSN servers, from what I've heard from people who own both consoles.
Rather paying a few bucks per year for stable servers than playing on shitty laggy servers for free. :P

And no, on PSN the screeching prepubescent American kids who act like they were badass are just as usual as on XBL.

Yea it's not quite as stable but it's getting better.

why? cheapskate parents, they're happy to buy the console & live, but kids will want a new game every week, get an xbox, it can be modded to play backups, ps3 cant

also you get a headset with an xbox but not ps3 ;)

(keyboards annoying me, dont hate on any spelling mistakes xD)
I've ran into more loud annoying dickbends playing Killzone 2 and Uncharted 2 than I ever have in Modern Warfare 2 or Halo 3.

I think the problem here with the annoying users might possibly be more a reflection on the way most human beings to begin with are vermin and make the Beastie Boys in the video for Fight for Your Right look like they should be panelists on Newsnight Review.

Is there a way to zoom the screen in on your character? If so then I'm buying :3

Edit: XBL has far more annoying kids imo, I rarely meet speaking players on PSN and when I do, they're usually Italian/German ^__^" for some reason

Yea, press the left control stick iirc.
There's 3 views, the whole map, your area and directly zoomed in at your character.

^Im in two minds whether to get that. Im a massive Castlevania fan but the trial didn't bowl me over..

Anyway my best friend is getting married to a girl from Seattle and moving over there next week so he dropped by my house last night and dropped off some old consoles he has. Just a N64 and an original xbox with some games for each. I forgot just how big the xbox pads are. I know they have a rep for being big but jeez. Not held on in my hands in years till last night. It's a gigantic thing. Luckily he gave me two pads and one was the s version.

The singleplayer seems to suck badly. The multiplayer seems MAD fun, from what I've seen in videos from LordKat.

Can't expect a game geared towards multiplayer to be awesome in singleplayer. xD

Not getting Castlevania :( played the trial to death and I hate it. Maybe in multiplayer it's better but I'm an XBL loner.

Today I bought Halo ODST on 360 & Fallout 3 on PC

So we've got like 3 people here who won't buy it because they have no one to play with.
