I pretty much don't know any of these characters besides the Darkstalkers. I guess I haven't been playing enough JRPG's or summat.

The game almost looks real time rather than turn based. I do like my NIS stuff and am curious just for that fact alone, but usually these games don't do well for various reasons.

Hopefully, this won't turn out to be crap like I heard Chaos Wars is.

And where the hell is Laharl? Why has Etna been hogging the spotlight in the Disgaea series and these crossover games?!

@Ueziel: Regardless, I had fun. The brief portion I played was fast, fun, and allowed me to juggle people with attacks. It also played into my Darkstalkers nostalgia and love of Disgaea by using attacks from the game. I'm not sure what you mean by "none of it means anything in the end," considering chaining properly kills things more efficiently than not doing so.
I've got a feeling that you've played or beaten the full version though. Why would you recommend against it?

this is exactly why I'm buying it, day one. Capcom only listens to money - no amount of screaming "New Darkstalkers!" will get through to them the same way green paper will.

I love characters from all these franchises (Mmm Etna) but I still can't quite understand how this game works from the screenshots.

Auugh I'll probably end up buying it anyway.

@Erignamatic: It's fun, but not great. It's pretty simple, from what I played of the Japanese demo. In fact, I'm expecting it to be kinda mediocre.

Still, I'm definitely getting it. I really want Capcom to make a new Darkstalkers, and the only way they'll get the picture is if people (myself included) throw their money at something with Darkstalkers in it.

@the7k: I'm not sure I've seen any Darkstalkers stuff besides their constant Capcom representation. What was the original game? A fighter I'm assuming?

@Erignamatic: Yeah, the gameplay is a bit confusing. It does have hints of Valkyrie Profile, or maybe like Xenogears or SRW OG Endless Saga with that AP and action cost thing. The battle field itself actually reminds me most of the over-sequeled Megaman Battle Network, but I don't think it'll be THAT real-time.

I'd really kill for a game combining Xenogears attack combos with Super Mario RPG style timing and defense, but with more guns/swords, something without Mario's kiddiness. I love the Paper Mario series and Mario & Luigi RPGs, but they're short and just not as story-involved as JRPGs. Bringing that kind of involving gameplay into a mature story would be absolutely stunning.

@kagekiri: Ouch. Ya see, this is the kinda thing that is like a stab in the heart.

You know all the high-speed, chain-combo, caffeine-fueled madness that is the Marvel vs Capcom series, Guilty Gear series and various others? They'd be nothing without Darkstalkers. We'd still be playing at the same dreadfully slow pace as Street Fighter II.

@the7k: I and I'm sure others say the same exact thing when Sega trots out its annual ROM rehash disc. :/ Capcom barely updated Vampire when it was alive, and I unfortunately don't believe the company cares enough to do an update when it seemingly put up so much resistance against doing a new Street Fighter unless it were more or less a SFII remake.

@Kobun: Actually, I believe the Vampire -> Vampire Hunter -> Vampire Savior updates were huge updates that greatly changed the gameplay. After that, the series was basically dead.

@the7k: Oh, I agree with that. I meant it barely updated the series compared to Street Fighter, which makes a Vampire Savior 3 highly unlikely given Capcom's apparent resistance regarding the development of SFIV. If Capcom wasn't willing to release a new game in the franchise which for about a decade was its bread-and-butter, then I can't imagine Vampire Hunter having an equal or easier time getting its next-gen remake. :/
