Rondo of Blood is still my favourite classic Castlevania as of right now but Bloodlines is still in the higher spot than the older classic Castlevanias

Surprises are an important part of Metroidvanias, I think. The game is better for adding stuff like the trapped benches or suprise encounters

There are like 2 trapped benches in the entire game as far as I remember (might just be misremembering though?) so I feel like that's barely an issue. It's kinda how in one of the Metroid games you get attacked by a surprise boss while expecting to get a Power Up.

But it's not the majority? I saw someone count the enemies and it comes around to about 25% of enemies doing double damage in Act 1. That % increases to abput 35% in Act 2.

As far as I know it wasn't really a creepypast or anything like that. Just a character created ages ago on either Tumblr or for a Roblox Undertale Roleplay game made out of the joke of "what if we use the remaining letters from Toriel and Asgore to make a second child to Asriel"

They just sent me a Chat Request, I am not accepting that what?

I wasn't even writing it to that guy. I just blocked him and reported him because, like, what?

I guess I should be glad that this is probably the rudest online interaction I had. Which is pretty mild in comparison to most people's bad interaction

The only other new addition is online mode and an English dub (which is nice but hardly a reason to call something a "Director's Cut")

It's not even really an "extended" version. It only adds 25 minutes of cutscenes (out of which only like 5 minutes are good/nice and the rest makes the story worse or is useless). The original game already has like 15 hours of obligatory dialogue and cutscenes so it's basically nothing.
