Screen shaking gives me a headache. I just got the Titan's Hammer, which is an awesome weapon, but I can't use it because it shakes the screen and there's no way to turn that off. I tried to bear with it for a few minutes but now I've got a pretty bad headache. Games usually have an option to turn o...

You definitely don't want to load back in the middle of a bunch of enemies I don't think that's really an issue. I mean, if a player saves in the middle of combat, they know what they're in for when they load that save. If they aren't prepared to re-enter the game in active combat, they could just ...

I'm not proud to admit it, but I've killed some very powerful-looking enemies very easily using Magic Knife. I'm pretty sure that giant worm was supposed to be tough, but it just sat there and took, like, 30 magic knives to the face without doing anything. Many enemies don't become active when when ...

There's Nightmare difficulty. You'd be surprised by how much the game changes when the save points no longer heal you.

When loading a game, it should default to the latest saved game. I'm currently doing my second run, and I don't really want to delete my first one, but I got used to just hitting the button on repeat after I died, and now doing that loads my first playthrough rather than my current one. I got around...

tl;dr: I'd rather not sacrifice fun for randomization. I've played some games with truly randomized levels, and they're just not as fun because of it. It's like, after the first playthrough, I don't even want to do a second. When I was playing through Chasm for the first time, I didn't have the same...

In the controls options you can Disable Gamepad. Turn that on, and then use Joy2Key or something to remap the buttons on your gamepad to the appropriate keyboard keys. There aren't any analog controls in this game, so there's no drawback to doing it as long as you remember to shut off Joy2Key after ...

If a sound were added, I'd rather it be a heartbeat, since that's still intuitive but much less annoying (it's been done in other games). Personally I'd prefer a continuous glowing red pulse emanating from the character (heartbeat rhythm), but that's just me. I like indicators that are easily identi...

The DS did have a hibernation mode if you closed them without powering them off, but the Castlevania games on it offered something a bit different. It was a one-use quicksave, so you could turn your system off or even play another game for a while, but still come back exactly where you were. Once th...

While I like that I can set as many map markers as I want, they're just white dots. I don't remember too much about what they indicate, other than I'm only using them to mark places where I need something I don't have for something. It would be good if I could attach notes to the map markers, or eve...
