Chasing the dragon. It will never be as good as the first time. I've played at least 4 Castlevania games that were billed as the SOTN killer but they could never exceed the original. I stopped playing them a year or two ago because I've just grown so tired of hacking through another sequel hoping it will do something significantly different. A new weapon system, team attacks, magic binding, etc. just don't add anything to the formula. I'm still just going to hack and slash my way through using the strongest and best attacks. All the extra crap usually sucks. A fruit stand in a desert of boredom.
