Do it for her
>>730988478
>>730988478Just beat this nigga on Albus lv 1 hard run, holy shit this was the hardest metroidvania boss ever. I think I died more than 200 times but god damn finally beating it was very satisfyingGod I love this game
>>730988478Yes
I do it for she
I don't know why people bitch about Order of Ecclesia's levels so much like Ruined Castle Corridor and Marble Gallery don't exist.
>>730989762Never did an Albus run but I did beat Order of Ecclesia on hard mode in a blind playthrough (I used a clear save from the internet) and shit was tough, some parts are scarier than legit horror games because normal enemies can kill you in 3 hits.
>>730990038I like OoE, but I will say there's an over-abundance of completely flat and simplistically shaped levels. A lot of post-SOTN level design / encounter design is pretty dogshit across the series, and it feels like they just gave up at some points.
>>730990038I actually like it because it feels like it had some Simon's Quest influence. What I really disliked was the glyph system.
>>730990212The budget for the 3 DS game was literally peanuts because the games were selling less and less. It's a miracle that they turned out as good as they were (well, DoS less so, but with modern patches its actually playable).
i do it for her instead
>>730991992here! have a cookie.
>>730988478Very hairy armpits.
>>730988478I love this extremely specific hairstyle with the bangs swept under the side
>>730989448 God-tier taste. That melancholy elegance, hair like flowing ink, and the soft sadness in her eyes-peak design. I swear they don’t make them like this anymore.
>>730988478What am I doing?
>>730990212>A lot of post-SOTN level design / encounter design is pretty dogshit across the series>unspoken implication that the encounter design for SotN is generally superior to what came afterwardslol I suppose it's better if you detest the thought of contending with anything more than an ineffectual roadblock. threatening/memorable encounters in SotN are exceptions rather than the norm in that game
>>730988478She is the morning sun that came to vanquish this horrible night
>>730988478>>730989448good character stuck in a shitty tendie gamenigga i aint playin that mario shit on a 2x2 screenGET THA FUCK OUTTA HERE
40th anniversary this year, let's hope for something good, but realistically, we'll get the chink gacha game.
>>730998060>good character The bitch has no personality, no emotion, she is very bland. Probably one of the worst characters in the series. I hate waifu fags.
>>730999328Or the 3D Collection.
>>730999725I like the shakespearean tragedy of her backstory even if yeah, her dialogue is just about getting shit done and not much more.Still, the artstyle is the most aesthetic Castlevania and those vibes are enough to carry it.
>>731001859I like Albus.
>>731001884>Yes yes, well done Shanoa, well done, HOWEVER.
HOW DARE YOU
>>731002040EVEN FORGETTING
I've not played her game. But she's just so beautiful!
>>731002237WHO RAISED YOU
>>731002296YOU
>>731002310STUPID DISCIPLE
>>730993130
OoE is probably the worst Igavania, but Shanoa is cute.
I bought the Dominus Collection and I'm motivated to replay all the games except Dawn of Sorrow since I hate QTEs, that and autistic kid me unlocked literally everything in DoS and that took several playthroughs due to boss souls being used for weapons.
>>731004013Didn't the QTEs become simple button inputs? Sounds like it makes it way less annoying.
>>730995491>I swear they don’t make them like this anymore.Long hair suffered immensely under the switch to 3D where rendering it became a problem developers didn't want to deal with.
>>731004194It's a different kind of annoying.
>>731004194You still have to remember up to 8 inputs in order. Could easily filter retards with no attention span.
>>730988478Excuse you, you just posted my wife there.
I finished Grimoire of Souls 4 years ago and I liked it.
It's amazing how bad Circle of the Moon is compared to all these games that came after it. Truly a chore to beat that piece of dogshit.
>>730988478>heard this isthe hardest of all the castelvanias on the gba/ds>finally get it after like a week of himming and hawing since I was a poor kid>the only hard part was the crab boss>and that could just be potion spammed
>>731008893Nah CotM is great. Harmony of Dissonance is the putrid dogshit one.
>>731009283Go back and replay it, then tell me those controls are "great" with a straight face.
>>731009539NTA but CotM is tied with PoR for the best oneIt's simple to get into, the enemise are pretty much all unique, between ducking, jumping and running or run jumping for more air (till you get the double jump) all attacks are dodgeableIt's overall the best imo simply on the basis of 'it has almost no bad areas' outside of retards who do the poison waterway without the artefact to cleanse it
>>731008893It's an interesting game because it feels like a lost middle-point between classicvania and SoTN.It has SoTN elements but it's more minimalist in terms of inventory and mechanics.The level design almost seems to want to mimic classic castlevania platforming and it's still a kinda tough game overall.It's clunky but if you get used to it, strangely memorable.
>>731009629>'it has almost no bad areas' outside of retards who do the poison waterway without the artefact to cleanse itThat happened to me on my first playthrough. Its actually kind of fun trying to navigate it while dealing with the enemies.
>>731009539It controls far better than HoD though, positioning matters and every action has consequence. The only valid criticism of it is the fact that you have to double tap to run, but that's preferrable to zooming and floating through endless corridors of comically underpowered enemies. Struggling to think of any redeeming qualities HoD has, it's truly terrible.
>>731002803not a good enough artist to draw her with her hands lifting her hair. execute him
I admit I did this on my first playthrough
>>731008893COTM is pretty good if you can get past double tap to sprint and grinding for cards. It's not the best, but not everyone can be Aria of Sorrow.
>>730990038because it was a clear step down from the way portrait of ruin handled levels and it's central castle hub. honestly kinda baffling. but i still like order of ecclesia, it has a stronger story than most castlevania games and the OST is great.
>>731004013>>731004194>>731004310you can literally just rewind if you fuck it up
>>731010196AoS is slopAnd the cards aren't neededI love how double tab to dash filters people, tho
>>731010295>rewind
>>731010321>AoS is slopI'll assume this is a joke and your taste isn't abysmal dogshit.
>>731010341if you've already killed a boss and just fail a QTE how is rewinding to do the qte again "easy mode"? the qte shouldn't even be in the game to begin with.
>>731010390its the easiest, shortest and most boring igavania.
>>731010321It kinda sucks to have this whole system where you can mix cards but barely get any drops in a whole playthrough.If you know the strong ones and what all the combo effects do, you can laser-focus in just getting that, but in a blind playthrough? The game is kinda hard and you really feel like some extra power would help, it's almost like the system is taunting you "Oh you want to get stronger? You could if you were more lucky lol".
>>731010450Or you could just fucking kill it again. It gains back what, 10% hp?
bump
>>731009539
>>731013389Dude can beat the game faster than me doing number 1 lol

>>730990212>A lot of post-SOTN level design / encounter design is pretty dogshit across the seriesThat's true of SoTN itself shitty level design that does not feel good to explore and the series only got better at this until about the DS era games and by OoE it was shit most of the time.SotN probably has the second or third worst level design in the Metroidvania series OoE obviuosly being the worst only because they wanted to split the baby of having a Metroidvania but still have separate levels without the tightness of the original Castlevanias.
>>730988478So when is her sequel?I've been stuck with homages and porn parodies for far too long.
made for BIG DRAC D
>>731013389Cheatruns are so fucking boring to watch. I prefer watching speedruns instead.
>>730988478Not until finish Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin first.
>>731013704>So when is her sequel?It's called Bloodstained.
>>731014501The story might be a downgrade to Aria but this game is still so fun.
>>731014571I said no homages.
>>730995594Gooning
>>731002803
>be drac>this virgin slut enters your chamberI would go feral
>>731015962you ruined it my nigga, you ruined it
>>731015962based>>731016421die feminists freak
>>731015962awesome now the art can be enjoyed by normal humans too
