GAR RAR<\/p>\n

In a sudden hurry, although I just woke.<\/p>\n

I acquired Castlevania: Lament of Innocence<\/i> the other day, for… almost nothing, along with the Xbox version of Silent Hill 2: Restless Dreams<\/i>, for a similar price. I have not yet played past the introductory area of the former. It still controls as well as I remember. I enjoy the campy voice acting. The plot is… well, there’s something wrong with it so far — even if it is sort of clever in how it intertwines the Castlevania mythology with history.<\/p>\n

The thing which most bothers me, though: I spent an hour wandering around, before I managed to find my way out of the first three or four rooms. All I had to do was double-jump off a block (which I knew was suspicious, and I had double-jumped off any number of times), and not move<\/i>, and Leon would automatically pull himself up to a ledge which was imperceptible from what the camera had to show me. <\/p>\n

And… right after I found a way up, I had to do something else. I will say more later.<\/p>\n

I will say more on other things<\/i> later.<\/p>\n

I will, for instance, comment on whether this trend toward showing me level geometry then putting up invisible walls so I can’t interact with it<\/i> will continue.<\/p>\n

Later later!<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
