Please God release Harmony of Despair on steam officially so that I don't have to play via shitass emulation, thank you.

>>694319107She reminds me of that bitch Rin and I don't like it.

ALUCARD!
>>694320290I thought there was a fan recreation with more characters and stages like half a decade ago.

>>694319107I got the rom with japanese voices, cause i don't like shitty dubs, so it was "CHAR9TTO" for me
>>694327704there is a built in Japanese voice option in the US version
>>694328038Why is her pose so ugly? She's just standing there like a retarded troglodyte.
>>694328013Maybe that's what i did, i don't really remember. Do the versions of the Collection have that?
Can we finally agree that there never was any N64 Castlevania games
>>694328403Vampire Survivors begs to differ
>>694328161I think she's supposed to be holding a laurel/ leaf or something.
>>694328239Yeah, for each game >DoS: Japanese language only>PoR: Hold Left shoulder button when you select your game mode. Jonathan shouts SHOWTIME~! in Japanese to confirm it's done correctly>OoE: Language select option from the collection's option menu when paused.
>>694324219>>694328038Why does she have blue eyes as a kid but green as an adult?
>>694322224>ARUKADO
>>694328449I saw the full list and there were zero characters from itFucking Sonia Belmont and Circle of the Moon made it in and those games literally aren’t even canonMaybe those delusions can finally be forgotten
>>694321049Kojima’s Shanoa looks terrible :(
>>694328757>I saw the full listclearly not
>>694328623Yeah, now i remember that button thing>>694328757Reinhardt is in
>>694328757>I saw the full list and there were zero characters from ityou only saw half of characters.a second list is shown after confronting Drac with Richter
>>694329041Oh, fuckBe back later
>>694328646Green eyes are caused by lipochrome in the retina. When Maria hit puberty all the fat in her enormous loli tits traveled to her eyes leaving her flat chested and green eyed.
SIMON!
>>694329340is this the worst kojima design
>>694329298How terrifying. She lost it all in such a short period of time.
>>694329041A third list is shown after finding a miserable little pile of secrets
>>694328853Shoujo artists can't draw beautiful women.
>>694329435Isn't there a fourth one?
AXE ARMOR!
>>694328853Kojima didn't draw that. That's the B artist Konami got for Grimoire of Souls who is basicly temu Kojima.
ELIZABETH!
>>694329385Outside of Alucard and Dracula, she usually doesn't do great at redesigning preexisting characters. Compare Rondo characters to their DXC redesihns and they all look way worse.
>>694329340Can I get the Conan the Barbarian ripoff instead
I NEED that picture of ayy Maria
Titty monster
>>694329858Is there a Kojima Shanoa?
>>694330460Castlevania HD
ALBUS!
>>694330903I love how Overpowered this fuck is to play, and true to form in Vampire Survivors he's in the top 6 strongest characters in that game as well.
>>694329858No. Kojima did all the character portraits in Grimoire of Souls, her name is in the ending credits
>>694330895that's a nice nose
>>694331150You really believe that?
RAGGY!
>>694330980Who are the other 5?I'm surprised Cornell is good, the other 2 64 characters suck balls, although I haven't tried Carrie yet.
>>694330895How did Miriam turn out as hot as she did when every other girl Kojima has ever drawn is a major uggo?
CARRIE!
>>694331760One day we’ll get a Kojima Carrie…
>>694331748At least her succubis are hot.
>remove the belmonts from the timeline after richter, belnades family absorbed into belmonts through marriage between trevor and sypha>entire rest of the franchise is spent either dwelling on in-between belmonts like juste, ill-defined belmont wannabes like nathan, the not-belmont morris family as keepers of the whip and a bram stoker tie-in, or the return of the belmont family in full force with julius>belnades family gets their own morris offshoot with the aulins, then yoko belnades springs up for some reason
>>694331459Looks like Kojima to me. An artist's style can change over time, too.
>>694322256It's janky and goes in and out of waves of actual development happening, it IS still alive but emulating it is a largely superior experience unfortunately
CAMILLA!
>>694331960Didn’t some gaming magazine get in trouble for publishing an uncensored picture of SOTN’s succubus back in the 90’s?
>>694332327I just want one Castlevania game where Camilla and Laura get to do cute stuff together. Still can’t get over the fact that Netflix’s DEIvania made Camilla hetero.
>>694319107sexy schoolgirl witch
>>694332016she probably just changed her last name to Belnades for shits and giggles,she's likely just an Aulin.
I know people here hate Lords of Shadow, but I would've at least liked to have Gabriel in the vampire survivors dlc.
>>694333032Obligatory reminder that she’s Fr*nch so she probably smells awful
>>694333475hawt
>>694333475>not enjoying her natural smell
>>694333475That's even better
>>694333475>you will never take your french witch wife to the beach as she mogs everyone with her topless magically bloated milkers
>>694333475That's why she's always showing off her armpits
Maria goes to the doctor

I wish I find the right spot for the succubus glitch to work right for dawn of sorrow. I just want more Gergoth souls
>>694335803
>>694336051maria if she slime girl
>>694321049For hand-holding and missionary.>>694319107For fucking doggy-style.
My wife...
>>694322224Got fucked in the ass btw
>>694319107>>694319961Bruh they literally look like siblings. Also, why is charlottes chest wider than her hips?
>>694332016>Redditbob
>>694322224He was fucked in the butt lmao
>>694337559they're around the same age but not related
>>694332016Maybe the main Belmont bloodline simply went into hiding after giving the Morris clan the whip. Wouldn't want Draculas cultists to smell blood and actively hunt them down, which actually sounds like a good premise for a Castlevania game.
>>694338196Did Julius give Yoko the dick?
>>694338348We'll never know if Julius dicked anyone.
Is there any reason CoTM isn't canon? It doesn't really interfere with the timeline of canon games as far as I'm aware. Only confusing thing is why they have the vampire killer, which could be handled by making either Nathan or the Baldwins part of the Morris family somehow.
>>694338556Shitty games aren’t canon
>>694338556As far as I know IGA re-added it to canon at some point.
GRANT!
>>694338828How many games does this rule exclude from canon?
>>694338435Or what happened to his family. He spent thirty something years not knowing his name, which is weird for a person that killed Dracula once and for all to be left in the dark about his identity.
>>694338918That's it, I'm adding your name to my Death Note.
>>694319107
>>694338556IGAutism just like 64 and Legends
>>694339038you cant, only shes allowed to do it
>>694321049
>>694337468>caring about some Netflix fanfic written by a fag who doesn't care about the gameslol
>>694321049HEE HEE
>>694330143this is actually well done, really like the eys>>694339356CARMLLIA!almost forgot to do it
>>694339013Maybe he needed to sacrifice his memories to seal Dracula.
>>694338918They could have fully covered the face, call it Akmodan II and no one would have batted an eye
>>694338556I think it was removed just because there was a LOT of resurrections in a very short amount of time so it felt like every other Saturday someone was bopping over to the devil castle to hang out.
>>694321049DIE SHANOA
>>694319107cream pieing charlotte
>>694339007All the 3D ones
>>694338435Sepia exists
>>694331930>One day we’ll get a Kojima Carrie…of course anon. of course
This track is pure sexhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1nRjNO5qvQ
>>694338556Mostly because it was developed by a different division of Konami, ditto with the N64 games.
>>694342063OoE's early-game is carried hard by the soundtrack.
>>694320290I do honestly think it'll happen at some pointI think they are going to have M2 make proper ports of Rondo and SotN that have all the content and improvements from various versions as well
>It's 300+ days till Halloween, time for a Castlevania thread!
>>694339408okay but it's still canon nowif you asked someone from konami, they would say it is
carrie is cute
>>694342667>okay but it's still canon nowNo one from Konami and none of the original creators worked on it. Not canon.
>think I know how to unlock a secret character in the DLC>turns out I was wrongIt's kind of fun discovering what the clues mean.
>>694338435We have Kokoro and Sepia.>>694342063https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAT50diA4foThis and Tower of Dolls are my favs from OoE.
>>694341786>>694343831>Sepia and KokoroAren't they non-canon?
>>694319107I CAME FROM A PLACE NAMED CHARLOTE
My wife, Annette. Sorry Richter, she's damaged goods now.
>>694321049Made for losing.
>>694346826what is that image
>>694346913https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/123804766There's two Pixiv accounts that somewhat focus around pixel animations of Shanoa either getting fucked crazy or turned to stone.
Someone convince me to play the GBAvanias
>>694347493go play the gbavanias, they're good
MICHAEL!
>>694348007man I need to play that game someday
>>694346826Considering that Dracula first thought Shanoa was a whore, this probably happened in one timeline
>>694348236I always took it as him thinking she wanted to be his wife.Which, if Carrie's bad end is canon, isn't even the first time this happened to him.
>>694319107I'm a bit disappointed that one newly discovered bug that changes Jonathan into Charlotte so you have two Charlottes, doesn't have it just yelling "CHARLOTTE, CHARLOTTE, CHARLOTTE" every swap and instead they both go "RIGHT! RIGHT! RIGHT!" Still a funny bug though, I wonder what Jonathan says if Charlotte gets changed into a duplicate of Jonathan.
>>694333475>asterisk censorPlease stop doing this reddit shit
>>694342982>carrie is cutetrue
Tons of Shanoa art today, for some reason.
>>694351138
Is there something more soul crushingly depressing than farming souls in DoS?
>>694351391No
>>694351391just do the brass knuckles trick and buy the soul eater ring.
>>694338556It was supposed to be a reboot not-held down by the "lore". So there's no Belmonts just random Vampire hunting schmucks. There's no Vampire Killer either, Nathan just has a "Hunter's Whip" which is hard to square with the lore. And Bathory and Camilla are the same character (In the way Bram Stoker invented a character named Dracula inspired by legends about the real life Vlad the Impaler) so that opens a can of worms about the timeline. But it was such a popular entry they've flip-flopped between it being canon or its own thing multiple times.
>>694351725The rewind function is cheap bullshit for most games but it's a godsend here
>>694352158>popular entryWas CoTM popular? I like it well enough, but I was under the impression most didn't like it because it's hard, very dark (for the GBA anyway) and stuff like double tap spamming to dash.
>>694319107Why is Dawn of Sorrow's story so bad bros
coolest Belmont
>>694352435It was a big hit because it was one of the earliest big games on the GBA. So even those issues were because so many people were playing it. that they could complain about it. To the degree Harmony of Dissonance was basically designed to be an Anti-Circle of the Moon with ultra-bright graphics, being super easy, and dashing around at Sanic speed at all times
>>694352158Why is 64 not canon then?
>>694352439>Castlevania>StoryBut yeah I agree that bowlcut guy wasn't memorable at all
>>694352439>We got rid of Dracula and the castle in Soma's first game>Uuuuuh now what do we do>shit>um>evil cult of centerists goes "THERE MUST ALWAYS BE SOMEONE DRACULAR" and looks for other Dracular dudes since Soma is too busy with the prom being tomorrow.>also they built their own imitation Dracular castle just in case
>>694353232Castlevania stories aren't supposed to be grand tales, but you expect them to do the bare minimum. It's really hard to make a Castlevania story seem uninteresting/unappealing but DoS managed it somehow. There must have been dozens of ways to continue Soma's story for the mandatory sequel that weren't utter shit.
>>694353339>Evil cult of centristsSo this is the power of Japanese writing..... whoa....
>>694353172Nobody played it
>>694325298jaja
>>694339356EVEN THE VAMPIRE'S ARE BIGGER THAN MINE!
>>694351391buy the soul eater ring, it's not hard but makes a huge difference>>694352439I think the idea that 'there always needs to be a dark lord' is good, but they could have made it more interesting. The new villains are lame for sure.
>>694329385ayami yoko sucks, the only improved design in dos
>>694331760...Belnades
>>694332970fucking really? jesusi did not think i could hear something at this point that would make me think even less of that project and all involved, but here we are
>>694345103This is Annette now. Feel old yet?
i'm the only one left
>>694360578yeah, I'm just a byproduct of your schizophrenia
>>694329041>>694328757there are literally 60 more hidden characters
>>69436038220 years from now we'll look back at this with the biggest "well THAT happened once" and because Nocturne was poorly received, it'll hopefully never happen again.
>>694360778I knew they were coming, but the final battle and ending in silly Castlevania ripoff game still made me get emotional. Well played you Italian bastards.
>>694328038>richter calls himself richter>Maria calls Richter, who introduces himself as richter in rondo, ReichterNoone in the studio thought to correct this?
who is the better character to play castlevania 64 with between reinhardt and carrie
>>694364181Carrie is easier cause her attacks have homing
>>694364181Anyone who tells you to play as Carrie is a loliconYou have a choice between some random nobody loli mage and a Belmont with a whipThere is only one correct option here
>>694352439Everything about the game reeks of an unnecessary sequel. Of course there is another fucking person born on the day that Dracula died. There is going to be a lot of potential Dracula candidates. We get a main antagonist that just comes off as being retarded and her real motivation is never explain in the actual game. There is no twist villain. No new reveal.
>>694365279I do love how she's so irrelevant you never actually fight her.
>>694365279>and her real motivation is never explain in the actual game.it's explained here:https://youtu.be/AACQnEU6T6s?list=PLFAE0762E0CD5079D&t=52did you even play the game?
>>694364181You should try both but personally I prefer Reinhardt. Carrie can jump farther, but I find the travel time on her projectiles frustrating.
>>694319107I never liked this drawing much as it looks like her anatomy is fucked up, she has 0 hips. and is essentially a down pointng triangle.
>>694365312That's how cult's work, you don't fight the pope as the final boss in any game do you?
>>694319107tendies playing Nintendo exclusives for the first time
>>694365741
Why do these threads always have that retarded faggot that claims shitflix is canon to the original timeline?
>>694343170I hate that schizo faggot so much. She does realise that there are multiple canons, right, like the OG and Lords of Shadow series. Why does that moron keep saying shitflix is canon to the originals?
If the dark dimension where Castlevania is originating exists, then there must be an opposite light dimension as well, yes? How come the forces of light dimension hasn't helped humanity in plugging the hole where Castlevania keeps popping it's head out every century?
>>694366765schizos have nothing better to do
>>694367214It's really annoying that she always has to post the same shit just to troll the threads.
I wish I could still post SOTN stuff here without the netcucks tards flying into a frenzy.
>>694321049Bare back erotic
>>694366074Assassins Creed 2
>>694346195> "It f-feels so good..."
Who would you rather fuck, Charlotte or Shanoa?

>>694347148The old issue of gifs on pixiv not working returns once again
I wanted to play all of them in order but CotM is kicking my ass bros
>>694370558That's normal. Make sure you're using the Cross, it does mega damage. Also, try to get the Jupiter card. It's really helpful against a lot of the bosses.
I want Curse of Darkness to get a remaster just to fuck with secondaries.
>>694319107Stop shilling your walk around doing nothing for 100 hours simulators.
Getting really sick of posts by contrarian zoomers rping as fans.
>shitflix tranny>wannabe oldfag trannyWhy do Castlevania threads attract these faggots?
>>694371216Worse, it attracts redditors like you
You guys enjoying the VSurv DLC?
>>694371249So not liking your resident schizos makes me reddit? Lol, you're a fag.
>>694371216>EVERYONE I DON'T LIKE IS A TRANNY
>>694348361Carrie’s bad end being canon would fit nicely inside the current timeline.
>>694371321You're going to have to lurk moar to figure out your tell exposing that you're a redditor.
>>694371320I haven't picked it up yet.
Gonna replay another Castlevania game soon, do I go SotN or AoS?
>>694372103Dominus Collection
>>694372231I would, but I still have all three DS games and a functioning 3DS. Is Haunted Castle Revisited worth it?
YOKO!
If out of some act of God, we get another Castlevania game, what do you guys want it to be?
>>694373967It's probably gonna be a III or SotN remake.
i unironically believe Shanoa is the best female character design in gaming, it's honestly a perfect design, waifufaggotry aside - and Miriam from Bloodstained is a perfect contrast that shows whyShanoas design is simple, but still conveys all the elements its supposed to, unlike miriam, whos design is completely lost in all the complications and details, the tattoos are a cool motif, but the random belts, the headpiece, the hair colour highlights etc just muddy it up.
>playing POR Dominus collection>when i come across something with a drop, i tend to farm it so i don't have to come back later>nothing over like 30 40 kills to drop, so not that bad>crossbow armour took 362 kills to drop the fucking subweaponi mean Spirit of Light was oneshotting basically everything in the game anyway, but now it REALLY is
>>694320502yeah those quests are dogshit bro, >run this level again and again and hope the chest with the shit you want dropsits cool because its kinda a precursor to Harmony of Despair's gameplay loop design, but the just running to somehwere and having Iron Ore drop and having to kill the enemies again, not fun.
>>694360382Nogturnes Annette is the quintessential writer selfinsert OC.
>>694374439I ended up using this romhack halfway through the game because of the dogshit drop rateshttps://www.romhacking.net/hacks/7328/
>>694365279I like the idea that they are moving away from Dracula, the whole thing is because he got the stone and control of Death, but they really needed a charismatic villain for it.
>>694319107made for BWC
>>694376010>Brauner's withered cock
>>694375990I think the Sorrow games really need a 3rd entry. DoS really felt like both filler and glorified epilogue.
>>694376268
Will a new game breathe life back into the franchise and move talk away from netflix if it's good enough?
>>694376316
>>694376329yes
>>694376094yeah, something addressing the Crimson Stone or the Castle itself as a being of chaos
>>694366074Blasphemous.
>>694376398I agree, those would be nice things to build up upon in Soma's era.
>>694376268>Come Hitler
Why do Charlotte and Shanoa make me so fucking hard irl?
>>694376381What kind of game would you want it to be?
If someone made a fanmade of castlevania 64 what style of gameplay would you like it to have?Classicvania or metroidvania(I hate the term btw) ?
>>694375008You're more correct than you probably know.
>>694377051Metroidvania>C64Also add the cut Frankenstein monster guy as a playable character
The next Castlevania game is a chink gacha game that left development hell. Hopefully it does well and funds a game for consoles.
>>694376329God, I hope so. Thanks to netdix, we have several dedicated trolls whenever anyone mentions SotN.
>>694376824Same, bro.
>>694377542Just ignore them, literally any reaction you give them validates their presence.
>>694375008Netflixvania as a whole shows why too much "creative" freedom is a bad thing.
>>694380007I liken them to those live action Resident Evil movies. Terrible adaptations that don't represent the source material well, but are adored by people who a lot of the time don't even realize they're based on games. Difference is fans of the RE movies recognize they're corny shlocky bullshit to some degree, fans of the show will die on the hill that its the best adaptation ever made and is better than the games they never played. It wouldn't be so aggravating if Castlevania wasn't effectively a dead series for so long.
>>694381064I hate that shitflixvania fans are so damn hyperbolic and that they act like the show is high art when it's really angsty edgelord schlock written for teenagers by overgrown teenagers, let's not forget that show fans tend to look down on the source material. Same with you, I'd be more fine with the show existing if the franchise were in a better state. I just hate all the trolls the show brought in.
>>694344774iirc, Kokoro is semi-canon as IGA mentioned that she's Julius little sister. Sepia does look like a descendant of Julius as she knows his skills and uses them from time to time.She even does the ULEULEULE every fucking morning as a training exercise
If another Castlevania spinoff happens, I hope they make C64 canon again
>>694340559She wishes.
>>694371320It made me pick up Vampire Survivors in the first place. I'm glad I did though, I've enjoyed the game and am going through the DLC at a leisurely pace. The trick isn't even unlocking each character so much as having the funds to buy them. I'll have to money grind.
Will the next Castlevania game be a sequel, remake or reboot?
>>694321049Albus nobody cares about your waifu
>>694383516Gacha game for now, at least Grimoire of Souls was fun.
>IT'S NOT A CHRISTIAN CROSS! IT'S JUST LIKE... A CROSS BOOMERANG! IT CONFUSES VAMPIRES!!!What were they thinking????
>>694384024It's kino
>>694352439I got the vibe that it was poorly translatedNot that any Cv games have noteworthy narratives, but DoS reads as if it was machine translated from Japanese
>>694384024the writers read Blindsight but ignored the part where the vampires in that are a separate species that don't have human brains
>>694383516Please let it be a Castlevania HD proper PC release.
>>694384214Isn't that the cope for the show too? Funny how they forget that Drac is basically a magical antichrist.
>>694384214And then a vampire is traditionally weak to crosses, complete with burning in Nocturne.
>>694384349The show version of Drac isn't the antichrist, just the king of vampires.
>>694384024dude the cross just confuses their brains ok it has nothing to do with religion according to hecking science their neurons get all messed up when they see something shaped like a cross god isn't real morty
>open thread>someone posts Alucard>the "lol netflix is canon" shitposter shows upEvery fucking time.
>>694384423Well yeah, that's why it sucks. That and many other reasons.
>>694384608Yeah, the show really is a bad adaptation and then it stopped being an adaptation altogether.
>>694384743>A cartoon about the French Revolution (featuring Richter Belmont from the Castlevania series.)
>>694376361This is so fucking hot. Little Charlotte getting absolutely owned.
>>694384814Hell, even before that, S3 forward stopped being an adaptation and became whatever the fuck it was and normalfags ate it up and now infest every place Castlevania is discussed.
>>694384950I remember looking at Google to see if someone else thought the show was shit and the goddamn Castlevania reddit hates it too, that's bad. They do commit the mistake of saying "the first two seasons were ok!!!" When they're not though. From the moment Death spoke I knew this was going to be garbage. I weep for the Devil May Cry """"""anime"""""".
>>694385103Netflixvania is complete garbage that pretentious assholes call "deep" because of a weird sense of shame they have at watching anything animated at their age. Well, wouldn't be the first time DMC had a needlessly edgy western reboot, at least DMC fans fight back, I hope newfags aren't as bad as they were for Castlevania.
>>694385278>needlessly edgyThey're just gonna make Dante into a marvel character. It's all about "ironic enjoyment" for those shows.
>>694385387>They're just gonna make Dante into a marvel characterWorse, they'll probably just make him literally Deadpool since that's probably what most westoids think of Dante anyway.
>>694359963still weird they messed up localisation and named her fernandez
>show makes the church out to be evil for no reason>meanwhile in the games the church is chill as fuck, literally just "oh we'll send you our hottest witch to help, knock 'em dead champ"
>>694385853I'm pretty sure the games also make a specific point of making the church itself never evil, Celia's goons are a cult, Shaft is specifically a dark priest and Ecclesia seems to be a splinter faction.
>first boss of Portrait of Ruin>literally fucking impossiblewell that was fun for a bit
>>694386863>literally fucking impossibleIt's not that hard. Get some good Sharotto spells.
>>694386948I play as Jonathan, I'm not a fag
Help still looking for pic of maria wearing bellydancer clothes
>>694387414>he does not know about the right shoulder button
>>694383625Is it?
>>694387698Yeah, though it's clearly rushed and unfinished in the content department, the gameplay's fun and plot resolves itself nicely.
>>694387798Huh. Well then. Good to know. I may bother playing it a bit more then. After I'm finished with Ecclesia and the PS2 games.
>>694388020It's dirt cheap and comes with an Apple Arcade subscription and once you're done with the game, you can just unsubscribe.
>>694323252>>694319961Actually, dumb question that's been bugging me for years, but it's been a while since I played SotN or Rondo. What's the QRD on the chain whip vs. normal leather Vampire Killer? Is it just treated as a transformation/same whip, is it a different one, what is it?Also, JULIUS!
Who is your favourite Castlevania protag?
>>694388403Alucard or Soma.
>>694388296The chain is it fully upgraded. Somewhere along the line, the game devs decided to drop needing to pick up those upgrades and just have them start off with it like that.
>>694388403Shanoa, the Strongest Castlevania Protagonist!
Why do netflixcucks constantly feel the need to mess with these threads?
>>694388732Fair enough. I didn't know if there was some lore thing of gameplay vs. canon. I vastly prefer the normal whip look to the chain but it is objectively better in play.
>>694388403Richter easily. 2nd spot goes to Leon, then Alucard gets the bronze.
>>694388403Leon
>>694366074Fire Emblem Three Houses
>>694388403Alucard and it sucks that posting him triggers the same spawn camping shitposters.
>>694366295and that is in the game, see:https://youtu.be/AACQnEU6T6s?list=PLFAE0762E0CD5079D&t=52
>>694388403JUSTemostly because of his cool blue glow
>>694375990there is this whole idea of dracula just being a dark lord persona fueled by evil chaos nonsense, with vlad tepes as the most prolific dracula>moving away from Draculathe question is whether castlevania, as a franchise, really needs that kind of "innovation"how many people pine for the ebin origin story of belmondo clan? are constantly cropping up side-branches and secret organizations much deeper than another belmont vs dracula matchup? is there even a point in setting up an elaborate ""canon timeline"" for a series all about iconography, but not story?especially if we're talking about DoS, that story is utter trash, rehashing the older things for no reason or coming up with the new things that contradict the older things anyway
Anything I should know before starting the PS2 titles? They're good right?
>>694389971Great games with mediocre level design.
>>694388403Best boy Soma
>>694375990>moving away from DraculaDracula isn't just "the guy" in Castlevania. He's a force of nature. The incarnation of darkness, evil and sin. Dracula the guy and Dracula the concept are two separate things, Soma is the reincarnation of Mathias Cronqvist/Dracula the guy, but he's not Dracula the concept/Chaos.
>>694370962nobody bothered with a (you), but i am not so cruelganbare, bait-kun!also i think richter shouldn't be on the right partyou either commit fully to the bit: no anime bullshit like rondo, or you go the ironic way: in which case you should put sonia and prettyboy lecarde, instead of simon and boxart morris on the right
>>694390116I enjoyed games with objectively terrible level design before. I'll like them then.
>>694366295play the game and pay attention to dialogues instead of just read the wiki
>to this day there are people who think Soma is an exchange studentgrim
>>694390593Then you'll really enjoy them.
>>694390724Grimoire of Souls retconned the whole exchange student thing.
>>694390724that was a pretty unnecessary bit of localization
>>694389792>>694390605I'm quite aware of the retarded centrist shit. I was talking about her being afraid of losing her powers.
>>694391005>retconnedIs it a retcon if it was never a thing?
>Soma is an exchange student from a foreign country>who is also childhood friends with a Japanese shrine maiden
>>694391229Isn't the "exchange student" thing just stuff the localizarion made up?
>>694391196Retconned the localisation change?
>>694391196Aria's opening scroll mentioned that Soma is an exchange student
>>694321049My mommy, my daughter, my sister and my wife
>>694362004They probably paid for exactly one take of studio time for each actor.
>>694391368Only in the localization.
>>694380007>"creative" freedomthing people tend to miss, is that these with sorts of productions, quality is a dieroll at besti am reasonably certain at no point of producer-pitching and script-buying and director-choosing process was there a person than cared about castlevania in any capacityit was not a passion project, it was simply used for name recognition, there is no more creativity than in my post, nothing more than the simple ability to express something through words
>>694390724You could spend your childhood in Japan, move abroad, and then return. Technically, you'd be considered an exchange student. But either way I don't think his nationality really matters.
>>694391817Makes me wish we got a new Castlevania project by people who actually give a shit. If not a game, maybe an anime but have it done by the japs.
>>694392029honestly think that inti is the only company that can do it currently
>>694392115IGA said he'd be willing to work with Konami again as a freelancer once in an interview. Question is, will Konami do it or are they too petty?
Bros the order of Ecclesia crab isn't dying.

>>694392029if we're going full never-ever hope-cope mode, than i want genndy tartakovsky making samurai jack : monster mash editionif there's anybody in this world who knows how to keep characters silent and let their brawn do the talking, it's him and since it's an already established story, there is no fear of him fucking up the ending in some inane fashion
>>694392589Primal with Simon Belmont fucking shit up might be fun. I want the guys behind Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust to do a Castlevania anime and if not them, someone similar.
>>694392589>if we're going full never-ever hope-cope modeIt always feels like that when we talk about Castlevania's future, and the aggressive doomers don't help, either.
>>694392407SHAWWWW
>>694392838The dominus collection has restored a bit of faith, I hope we get a 3d collection. We all know Symphony and Rondo will never be free from Sony jail.
>>694393071The fact that we got a new game out of it was a godsend as well, even if it was a remake of a bad and obscure game. I'm still remaining hopeful since the leak that revealed Metal Gear and Silent Hill's comebacks also mentioned a new Castlevania game in the works.
>>694393071>I hope we get a 3d collectionMan, the plot of Curse of Darkness is really gonna fuck with newfags. I hope the manga is included, same with the Lament of Innocence mobile manga that never left Japan.
>>694393181Honestly if they port HD and give it crossplay we'll have enough for years.>the leakThe NVIDIA one? Crazy how we got something years ago and it's been getting proven right every release.
>>694376094>I think the Sorrow games really need a 3rd entry.So according to a recent interview with Shutaro, he mentioned that after DoS, IGA asked him to develop the next game using the same soul system. Shutaro ran out of ideas for new enemy souls and also suggested having a whip-wielding protagonist since it would be the 20th anniversary game. Now, I agree that DoS works better as an in-between story, which makes me wonder what IGA’s original vision for that third Sorrow game was.
>>694393071>didn't fix the Luck bug in DoShopefully they patch it, the mod bricks your save
>>694393338>the mod bricks your savekek how the fuck
>>694393338Rewind kinda obviates that issue.
i'm playing OoE and... i'm not really feeling it, i even enjoyed DoS moredoes it get better later on?
>>694393302Different one, the NVIDIA only mentioned Grimoire of Souls ports.>>694393306I watched that interview recently, good stuff. Yeah, I feel like a 3rd Sorrow game was always considered since Dawn feels like a weak note to end the timeline on unless you count Grimoire.
>>694393445Cute.
>>694393542OoE is one of those "it gets better X hours in" types of games, so just endure until you get at least one cool glyph like the succubus one. The early level design also doesn't help by being so linear without much to explore besides a few secret walls throughout the levels.
>>694393751The transformation glyphs suck. Just get the laser beams from the skeletons and spam the big laser sword on bosses. Easy.
>>694393912Anon, I agree, but making the game easy mode doesn't make it better/more fun.
>>694387540At least a link....
>>694394013learn2booru
>>694393542>i even enjoyed DoS moreIt's because DoS is a more enjoyable game
>>694393542ecclesia is the worst ds game, the second part of the game is gimped because all the focus on the boring early game levels so you just end up with a very pretty but middling game
>>694393542not really
Portrait of Ruin remains the greatest DS Castlemania.
>>694359087What is the best way to farm gold to get the ring?
>>694394193>CastlemaniaHulk Belmont?
>>694385853Evil church is just typical lefty writing. They just wipe their ass with the source material.
>>694394298No idea if that's the most optimized method, but you know that room with the infinite zombie respawns and a single witch in the chapel? Yeah I just farmed gold bags with Gold Ring equipped
>>694391229It is pretty clear that Soma has had at least a bit of military training, guy carries around a knife (and not a utility / swiss army knife, but an actual weapon) and knows how to use guns. His interactions with Hammer also point to some familiarity with military operations.
>>694394298Head to the long room with 9 zombies in Lost Village. Use a throwing weapon or the student witch soul to kill them quickly. Repeat until you have 9 zombie souls. Then, buy 9 brass knuckles from Hammer, synthesize them into Cestus at Yoko's shop, and sell for a $25,000 profit. Repeat the process.
>>694394741what if he's actually just a military otaku
>>694320290You get HoD on mobile devices with timed events, paid cosmetics, and cooldown timers on your runs. Get monkey pawed, idiot.I'd still play it.
>>694395441We almost got that with Grimoire of Souls before the paid and online elements were removed and it was released on Apple Arcade.
>>694393557I think the only chance we might see the story of the 3rd Sorrow game is through an anime format, or a Harmony of Despair remake that includes a bit more lore to better conclude the story.
>>694395441Konami seems to have wisened up to how profitable full game releases are (looking at you momotaro), so I doubt they'll do that. I'm pretty sure they'll stick with YGO and Pachinko for the gachashit.
>>694395945As long as it's made in Japan, I'm okay with it. We don't need more western "anime". Grimoire of Souls had some post-DoS lore, so yeah, I could see that working.
>>694319107Play her gamehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAYvOIEDYZg
>>694396357I did. It was good.
I consider Getsu Fuma an honorary Belmont.
>>694394741Is that why they gave him hand grande and the RPG in the vampire survivors DLC lol
>>694346826I love that there is a single pixel to signify her asshole. So fucking hot!
>>694342613I look like this and say this!
Hey guise can I play too?
>>694371320very much. I've only got a few unlocked characters from CV but the map is fucking huge.
>>694388403#1 always
>>694342613Castlevania is a Christmas series because it is holy and just.
>>694397772I like CoTM a lot. Awake is one of my favourite protag themes.
>>694397772We love Nathan in this house.
>>694394741I think you're reading too much into it. It would be too much of a hassle to differentiate between a pocket knife and a KNIFE-knife, let alone starting him off with only his fists. Having "a knife" and knowing how to swing it is a perfectly plausible convenience.
>>694398217Soma's knife IS a "cheap pocketknife" according to the item description.
>>694319107>>694319961>>694321049>>694322224>>694323252>>694324219>>694326857>>694329340>>694330903>>694338918EVERYBODY IS HERE!
>>694352158>Nathan just has a "Hunter's Whip" which is hard to square with the lore.Legend of the Vampire Killer inspired imitations.
>>694398414>an Italian making a slot machine parody game with "legally distinct" assets respects Castlevania more than NetflixI'm so proud of my countryman.
>>694398414Is Dead Cells canon to Castlevania?
>>694385717Belnades is supposedly a Japanese bastardization of Fernandez.I’m curious why localizers changed Ralph to Trevor.I’ve heard Trevor was originally Ralph to honour an actor who played lead in several Hammer films.
why is nathan graves not canon?
>>694398881Because CotM sold more than HoD and AoS combined.
>Soma and Mina get surrounded by monsters in the beginning of DoS>Alucard shows up to save the day>Just throws Soma a cheap ass 2 inch pocket knife to defend himself against spear wielding knights and a fucking golemDid the fucker not have a spare short sword?What an asshole
>>694399004so then why is it NOT canon?
>>694397772Kill yourself
>>694398692Sure Why not!
>>694398414Blew my fucking mind that Cornell got in twice

>>694399054>Dracula gets revived every 100 years>Dracula gets revived 3 times in the 1700s>Dracula gets reviced 4 times in the 1800s>apparently 4 times is too much compared to 3, so they cut the two Kobe gamesStrange, isn't it?
>>694400102so the official answer is "No good reason" and trying to keep the door open for a Canon adventure around the same time
>>694400102Did you know that CotM's producer is the Goemon guy.
>>694319107HECTORThe guy who made the Curse of Darkness Enhanced mod is making a DSvania style fan game now, innocent devil system and SotN command inputs are confirmed to be included.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKsTqJrWuxc
While I like Alucard and his movement and customization, it really trivializes bosses and navigating the castle when you can fuckin SHMOVE the way he does
>>694400350I wouldn't really worry about it too much. Castlevania 64 is allegedly non-canon too, but Cornell still got in Judgement. The Kobe games get added and removed from canon constantly depending on Konami's whims.
>>694388403Rondo Maria

So how come Charlotte is considered a good Christian girl while all the other witches are evil and Satanic
>>694397772Chad Nathan vs Virgin Julius
>>694401782She's a SpellcasterNot a filthy witch
>>694399290Cornell is giga based
>>694401782>implying that anyone who uses magic is a witch
>>694401719Huh? The hardest opponent is medusa. The mummy was honestly a breather. Just jump over platforms. Stay near, duck, and if you caught near the bandage danmaku then Bible up.
>>694401942Charlotte uses a broom in her double jump animation
>>694402016>medusano way, I can consistently single cycle her.
>>694400530That is powerful knowledge
>>694370962LEAVE JUSTE ALONE!
>>694371320yes, i unlocked everything. unironic 10/10 DLC
>>694376361Zoomer art is disgusting.
>>694401782She works for the church, they work for a darker purpose.
>>694388403RichterI even played through Dracula X for him and I hated the whole game
>>694377051give me a cornell metroidvania and ill fucking nut
>>694402114I said hardest, not hard. Honestly shaft is easier than Death, Carmilla, and the Dullahan. Heck, for the point in the game you fight him, he's comparatively easier than the Werewolf.
>>694402026Yeah be that's a good broom, witches use evil brooms.
>>694402420>death>hardIdk man, I guess Im just built retarded or something. The sea snake and the werewolf were the hardest bosses to me with honorable mention to the mummy.
>>694393542DoS is just more AoS so of course its a good game. dont tell me you got gaslit into thinking it was bad because of "muh art" or "muh story"
>>694401782She kicks ass for the Lord.
>>694402790You arent rewarded for exploring in DoS as much as AoSAnd grinding souls for weapons is a pain in the assAnd the weapons dont feel as distinct as they did in AoS, even if the new spritework for each weapon is good
>>694402740>The Sea Snake and the werewolf were harder than DeathAnon???
>>694402790people like to get all hungup on the "story" of castlevania ignoring that SotN, the golden goose, runs on a shoe string of a story that ultimately can be told in>richter kills drac, hes evil now!?!?!>alucard goes to stop drac or whoever is running the castle once and for all>some hole obsesses over richter>RICHTER IS THE BAD GUY!?!?!?>Shaft is controlling him!?!?!?>Alucards mom loves humanity!?!?!?>dracula feels bad about it!?!?!?give or take 1 or 2 cutscenes mentioning Matthew 16:26
>>694403017sea snake was a learning curve for me as I couldnt tell which parts of him would hurt me when he did his low attackwerewolf was erraticdeath is consistent and easy to read, just hit the sickles and fuck his ass up
>>694403130>one tried the werewolf (his patterns are 100% consistent)>one tried the sea snake>had to replay the entire level until I could do it in one life to kill death because I needed Grand CrossDamn
Is the Werewolf having his retardedly huge moveset as a common enemy in other games peak Castlevania jank? It's so soulful
Just beat circle of the moon in the collection. i enjoyed the first half but i actually think the game gets tediously hard later hard. maybe i was under leveled? feel like they wanted you to farm all the enemies looking for cards and in the mean time you would get levels and healing items. felt like i was doing no damage even with the map % damage spell with 100% map found
>>694403017He's right, the Serpent makes a strong first boss and the werewolf is a legitimate filter. Though I stand by the hardest part of the game is the secret route in level 2. Those mermen are cancer.>>694403130Faor enough what usually did me in was getting too aggressive then getting knocked off the ship by a stray sickle.
>>694403234part of my retardery is I refuse to not carry holy water which doesnt help at all for death, but I guess you could say sub weapons arent useful to me unless theyre glued to the floor. I Axe-identally picked up an axe before the shaft fight so I couldnt even holy water the mummy
>>694403459>>694403465The werewolf becomes a joke when you realize you can knock him out of his ball attack.
>>694319107People in the 1940’s weren’t very hygienic.She probably had a huge, unkempt bush and a shit encrusted asshole. Disgusting.
>>694403627she magic'd the pubes away, harry potter style
>>694403465Am I using Holy Water wrong? It's been pretty weak for me outside of Hydro Storm.
Henry Oldrey, he's got a fucking gun.
>>694403692in my retarded uneducated opinion, spamming holy water on planted or slow enemies is BIG DAMAGE, jumping affects the trajectory(?) so you can get more range out of it. Im reminded of the level where fleamen and some beefed up axe knight are all fucking with you in a room full of swinging spikeballs and spinning saws and shit. The holy water DELETES the axe knight
>>694385103which dmc anime? the good one or the the one that didnt happen?
>>694368925Yes.
>>694386024what about lords of shadow?I never understood why gabriel was evil in that trilogy
>>694403892The shitflix fake one that hasn't come out yet.
>>694403992>what about lords of shadow?I didn't play it lmao. I might when I'm done with Curse of Darkness.
>>694403992He was angered about being used by everyone when all he wanted was to be with his wife again. He did mellow out in the end and is just happy to be with his son.
>>694401782She's hot >>694401860She is a witch, its in her bio
>>694404104my main question was if the church was evil in lords of shadow or just misunderstood?but commenting on >He did mellow out in the endit was pretty kino how satan got defeated in the second gamethe deciever was deceived because he expected the worst in draculait was really poetic. satan is not about deceiving, he's about dragging the worst out of you. if your evil he's not gonna decieve you to be good, he's gonna agree with you. this game's ending still amazes me to this day.
>>694400659Damn, that is some godawful map / level design. Hopefully that is just for the sake of "very early development" and not indicative of what you can expect for the final thing.
Jerks on bikes!
>>694404279Its been awhile since i played them, but they were mostly just working off of a prophecy and had to keep everything a secret from Gabriel. Them sending troops to kill him later was them just trying to fight off what they saw as a monster as when Gabe went full Dracula, he unleashed his anger upon them.
>>694390259By that logic, Simon goes on the left too because Chronicles made him the gayest of all the catlevania femboys.
>>694403848Huh, thanks for the advice. I've been using the subweapons pretty equally but the Holy Water has been a struggle this game. The axe on otherhand, has been punching pretty hard above its usual use.
>>694403627>People in the 1940’s weren’t very hygienic.And church girls in 1940s also weren´t going around wearing miniskirts. Its fiction, dont overthink it.

>>694320290>Curry the Kid tweeted the other day that the Castlevania game he'd still like to make is 1999. Except he'd prefer to make Harmony of Despair 2 since that was all his idea, not Iga's. Indrasting.

>>694403627>She probably had a huge, unkempt bushYou're only making me more erect
>>694405608I don't think they can even legally use the original credits theme anymore. A pity, I liked it.
>>694405979i like it. its like a better version of the card system in CotM. i really enjoy the spellbook system in HoD though. having a lot of fun with it
>>694406365every tweak Ive ever seen of the card system or the soul system makes them way too abundant which proves to me that striking the perfect balance is impossible.
Circle of the moon is perfectly playable without the cards, the real bs is the cross being so rare
Which castlevania girl has the biggest bush?
>>694408351Charlotte, she's french
>>694329085
>>694408351Yoko, she's japanese
>>694408054CotM shows that you can do so much with so much less when your character doesnt have crazy backdashes and batform iframes. Cerberus in CotM is a harder boss than Olrox in SotN just by way of having to toggle running, not being able to freely run in 2 directions, and jumps having a level of commitment to them

Honest question about student witches (the enemy); bully or hug?
>>694411465Man, that makes complete sense. I hate that westoids are like that. The radio drama and mobile game even went out of their way to say Alucard liked women and we still get shitflix trolls.

>>694352439Dario, Dmitrii and Celia not seeming like threats in the slightest (but they still completely punk out both Alucard and Julius), this cult that built their own castle and everything... that has 3 fucking members, no real stakes or anything. The whole thing just felt like a Saturday Morning Cartoon.It's also the last game in the timeline, and it ends on a absolute wet fart.
>>694411618Bully. Every demon who serves dracula deserves to be cleansed from this earth. TOTAL VAMPIRE DEATH
>>694411618I will help her evolve into her true form
I hate Yuri Lowenthal’s Alucard so fucking much.
>>694412040>finally becomes a witch after centuries of being a fuckup >murdered by a twink who devours her soulStudent Witch had a tough life.
>>694412040>>694412286The spear she drops, I used for the rest of the game in her honor during my last run.
>>694412040>DROP: Melon

>>694412574>curse
>>694405717Sad I pretty much missed the whole threadI also got VS for the castlevania dlc, just recently unlocked the third half and I'm having a blastThere's still so many games in the series I haven't played, makes me appreciate them more
>>694411618bully>>694408054tbf the cross is ridiculously good
>>694412574This is a curse I can get behind.
>>694412893>>694412692>castlevania fans are chubbychasersUnfathomably based
>>694412749Didn't mean to reply but I also agree with what you said Wonder what that guy is up to these days
Just 100%'d the map and got all souls in Dawn of Sorrow in 10 hours.I did use the succubus glitch and extra Abbadon and Death souls though.I should do Julius mode, but, eh. I might as well do Portrait of Ruin next
>>694413016>implying fatfags don’t shit up any fandom they’re involved with
>>694411465Why are faggots so obsessed with claiming fictional characters?
>>694413665representation makes them feel normal and accepted>WAOW, THIS CHARACTER FROM THE 90S IS GAY!!! IM GAY TOO!!>WAOW, PEOPLE LOVE THIS GAY CHARACTER FROM THE 90S!!! THEY MUST LOVE ME TOO!!!
>>694413016Best thing is there are lots of good food in that castle to keep them full with.
>>694413905Sounds like narcissism.
>>694413905They also get super pissy when told that their version of the character isn't the original canon.
>>694414004absolutely. homosexuality is up there with all the other mental disorders.
>>694414229Makes sense.
