The Opposite of Hand-holding

Japs invented selling game guides. It's their brand of cashing in on retards like today's microtransactions.

To be fair the manual did say that many of the townspeople were too afraid to tell you the truth on account of Dracula and that his human allies would try to deceive you.

In the Jap version all the townspeople lie to you. In the western version, only some of the townspeople lie to you, and you can't tell who is who until you've fucked around for who knows how long. Having some people tell the truth makes it infinitely harder than if they were all liars.

Hi Ross

>In the Jap version all the townspeople lie to you.
Huh, I didn't know that.

At first I thought it was copy protection, but I looked it up and it's random.

...

You know, I wonder how much of Ross' material is him being DSP bad at the videogames and how much of it is actually true.

New game dungeon when, Ross?
