If this game was on Steam, there's no telling how many times I'd impulsively replay it. Just being one or two clicks away from where I am? I'd probably clear it 10 more times.
>>720596492>Just being one or two clicks away from where I am?You...need more clicks to play it on steam than just emulating it.*bonks you for being a dumbbutt*
>>720596789Wrong
>>720596789>having to remap my controls because the emulator is bipolar about whether my gamepad is Gamepad 0 or Gamepad 0No
>>720597042Gamepad 0 or Gamepad 1*
It's only takes a couple of clicks to load it from any PS1 emulator you dolt.
>>720597042>>720597130set it once and fuck off, retard.*bonks you*>>720596930*bonks you twice* Don't you EVER bonking question me. You little shit, do you have an bonking idea how bonking gay you are? I'd bonk you until you piss your pants.
>>720597478fine geezI actually didn't have to map shit. Duckstation has way more ease of use than I remember PCSXR or epsxe having.
Havent touched this shit since Netflix made Alucard a faggot
>>720597042Lying troon every emulator nowadays has an automap function unless you got a 2$ gamepad from chinkland it takes 1 second to set up.
>>720599370that's stupid, you're stupid
>>720596492I just use Retroarch on Steam, three clicks awayOpen Retroarch > Click History > Click SoTN
>>720596492That's why the PS Vita was great. Any PS1 classic you bought a digital copy of, you could just pick that thing up and start playing. Konami really needs to make a another one with cool MALE character like Alucard and put in all the effort that went into SotN into a modern version. Yes, I played Bloodstained. It was ok.
>>720596492The opening where you enter the castle and the Dracula's Castle theme starts playing may be one of the best openings of any game
>>720596492Just finished the game the other day. I made the mistake of fighting the secret end boss before the final boss so the final boss felt anticlimactic and too easy in comparison. Still a great game. I played it on my retroid pocket. I'm playing order of ecclesia now.
>>720597130Gamepad 0 or Gamepad 0 is funnier and I 100% relate
>>720596492I've had it on PlayStation 1-5 for almost 30 years lol
>>720599591You will never be a woman
Forgettable game. Alien Soldier or Contra are where it's at.
>>720601268not exactly beating the stupid accusation if that's your response
>>720600924OoE is great but very different
>>720597478yeah but it's not bonking there every time he looks at his steam library
>>720596789>>720597478you literally just have to click the big green PLAY button you fucking retard.
>>720599201>>720597470Actually, currently the best version of SotN is emulating the romhacked Saturn version with extra content + english translationhttps://meduza-team.ucoz.net/news/dracula_x_nocturne_in_the_moonlight_ultimate_sega_saturn/2024-01-01-48
PSP or PSX version?
>>720596492Is this a Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave thread?
>>720606670Saturn.
>>720596789We get it reddit man, emulating it would be way easier than waiting for it but it would be 2 clicks away if it was on steam
>>720604323>>720606828It sucks ass. Call me when they add the extra levels to the PSX version.
>>720607019>It sucks ass.How so?
>>720607019they're dangerously close
>>720607169>worse framerate>loading screen for literally anything>screen tearing>shitty effects because the saturn couldn't handle transparency
>>720607169Development was outsourced to Nagoya and they didn't have enough talent or money to work around some of Saturn's shortcomings relative to PS1, so as a result there is more slowdown on many animations and all of the transparency effects look like dithered vomit.
>>720606828>>720604323The Saturn version is pretty rough because of how the port handles transparencies (that is to say it doesn't) and general performance issues (loading times, slowdown). It's possible emulation addresses the latter two technical issues these days, I dunno. I don't think it's a terrible port all things considered but unless you really want Maria just go with the Playstation.Historically I think the Saturn version was shat on more than necessary, but these days it seems like its reputation is inflated for whatever reason. The new content isn't that special, especially not for a first time player.
>Get one half decent weapon drop from an enemy in reverse castle>Breaks the gameThis has to be the easiest castlevania game I've played No way the other games made after this are even easier right?
>>720607169The Saturn version makes it look like a DS game
>>720600924>>720601909Some people shit on OoE but it’s different in a good way. Not to mention the OST is one of the best in the series. If you don’t get hyped when you hear Ebony Wings, you most likely don’t have a soul.
>>720596492Konami will make a demake in soulless 3D instead
>>720607517Right. None of them are as easy as Symphony of the Night gets. I still think SOTN is better than what followed, though.
>>720596492I've been playing it on retroarch lately buit I think I like Bloodstained better tbqh
>>720607517HoD is about as easy but the others are much harder. Not hard outside of CotM and OoE though.
>>720607517Symphony is probably the easiest Igavania…..although I think Aria of Sorrow is also pretty damn easy.
>>720607491>>720607373https://meduza-team.ucoz.net/news/dracula_x_nocturne_in_the_moonlight_ultimate_sega_saturn/2024-01-01-48Seems like these issues were solved, even including the lack of transparency
>>720596492if it was on steam it'd be the version with the soulless nu-voice acting.
>>720607751Bloodstained feels good to play, although I’ve seen some people on here criticize it as feeling “floaty” compared to other games in the Castlevania series. I think Symphony does some things better than Bloodstained, though. I think the art direction in Symphony is a lot more cohesive and I also think the OST is miles ahead of Bloodstained’s. I do like the castle exploration in Bloodstained better, though.
>>720604323I'll only play that if its in the OG english dubno I don't care about the JP dub or the PSP dub, it's not what I grew up with therefore it's worse
>>720607632I think the problem with OoE is that the levels are literal halls that you hardly have any reason to explore after you are done with them.>>720608390Bloodstained perfected everything about the most popular gameplay features and gimmicks through the Castlevania series. I would say the issue are the graphics since they look extremely plastic and low effort.
>>720609750>I think the problem with OoE is that the levels are literal halls that you hardly have any reason to explore after you are done with them.I think Odallus did a better job trying a similar thing.
>>720604323>uses the PSP dubDisgustingPSX dub > JP audio with English text >>>> PSP dub
>>720609316You actually can get a hack with the original english dub. Pretty easy to find on the right sites for such a thing.>>720604323I have been considering that for a long while, I have always been curious about the Saturn exclusive levels but I have always heard the saturn version is fucking awful.
>>720599956I love how dracula X chronicles just had Symphony of the night as an unlockable bonus.
>>720606932*bonk*
>>720607491Isn't Maria on the PSP port too? There's no reason to play the Saturn version now when the PSP port did everything it did but better.
>>720596492Konami is quite stupid for not putting it on there. It would be money printer for them
>>720609750It's not really a problem, Castelvania has always been more about the combat than anything else. It's good for the game to have less backtracking than usual tooThe real problem with it is the RNG treasure chests
What are some good rebalance hacks for SoTN?
>>720606932Zoomers are so fucking retarded it's insane. Do you really not understand fucking shortcuts? It will launch in the emulator faster than it takes for Steam to.
