Why is it the best and why would you disagree?
Lords of Shadow exists and is therefore, the best.
>>737502841Aria of Sorrow is the best Metroivania but Order of Ecclesia and Portrait of Ruin are still better than Symphony of the Night. Classicvania is still better though.
>>737503284>Classicvaniareally out there opinion
Worst Castlemania ever.
>>737502841I don't like games where a big part of the "difficulty" is the enemies abusing the damage their hitbox does to you yes I was filtered by the crab yes that is terrible game design
btw is the Netflix animated series worth watching?
>>737502841Too many of the early stages are purely horizontal. I prefer how PoR did stages inside the main castle and had 2 different playable characters with different weapon level systems.
The one with the touchscreen QTEs was garbage until they were patched out. It's still worse than the other handheld ones. One has levels instead of a connected map which sucks, I forget if that is the same one. I played all of them to get the taste of Silksong out of my mouth so they blend together.
I have been playing Castelvania on release since the NES but POR gave me a smile when I slowly realized it was a Bloodlines sequel that came out of fucking nowhere and I just assumed Konami disowned that game
>>737502841I got filtered by the level design
On the playstation store, if I can only afford one of the collections, should I get the Advanced Collection, Dominus Collection or Anniversary Collection? (I only played SOTN before, so everything else is new to me)
>>737502841You can make the argument that SotN, AoS, DoS, PoR, or OoE is the best. I Iove them all. I love HoD too but c’mon, it can’t be the best. CotM is the only one I’m not a big fan of.
Best what? Best DS game at least.>>737504097Anniversary, see how the series started.
>>737504097>On the playstation store, if I can only afford one of the collectionsaren't these games like $10? How poor are you
Only igavania I've played is sotn. I liked but it was too easy. Not gonna play them all what ones should I play?
>>737502841Tied with CotM imoIt's definitely great but a few things ruin it imo: some of bosses are a bit janky, Albus seems way, way too fast for the gameplay, the one level of just like the bridge I think, felt a bit weird. Also it's super linear in a way but still funI'd say the biggets issue is Shanoa seems to be wearing clothes
They need to stealth drop the next collection already
>>737503661PoR had levels in paintings in the castleOoE had the world mapDoS had the QTEPoR is clearly the best from a stage design stand point even if you like the story or bosses or weapon leveling system.
>>737504231You don't know people's lives and what else they spend money on. It's not weird to set yourself a monthly budget. Maybe he blasted the rest of his gaming budget on a new game already? Personally I don't spend more than 80 bucks per month on gaming.
>>737504306PoR art design really shits the bed albeit
>>737504589You have issues if $10 breaks you. Maybe stop doing drugs
>>737504680>$Of course.>unable to comprehend that maybe someone paid their rent, bought a triple A game, bought groceries and is now thinking of getting one of the collections>assumes everyone in the world is AmericanEvery time. Top kek
>>737504784If I was in that situation I wouldn't play games and would stop doing meth. I never said you or the other guy was American what weird projection
>>737504887You're projecting your meth addiction onto other people. Can't a guy ask which collection would be a better purchase for them? None of us know each other's monetary situations.
>>737504239Symphony of the Night - easy difficulty, mediocre gameAria of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin - easy difficulty, great gamesOrder of Ecclesia - good difficulty, shit gameCircle of the Moon - average difficulty, mediocre gameDawn of Sorrow and Harmony of Dissonance - not worth anyone's time
>>737504991>n...n...no u do drugsThis is two no u's you have done there is no way you are not a low IQ European
>>737505021>OoE: shit game>CotM: mediocre gameYou got that backwards, mate
>>737503582The 2017 show with Trevor Belmont is a guilty pleasure for me despite the flaws. Sypha is a cutie.Avoid Nocturne.
>>737505081Nobody spoke about drugs in this thread. That's a you thing. You brought this topic into this thread. Can you explain this? Let me guess, you're from a country where drugs are so prevalent it's literally the first thing that pops into your head, because that's just how deranged your country is. America perhaps?
>>737504784>bought a triple A gameYou deserve worse.
>>737503582The first one is bearable. Nocturne is unwatchable.
>>737505379Oh sorry, I should've been spending money on the weekly Fortnite battlepass
>>737505197Nah, both games are highly polarizing, that's just where I stand on themWith CotM and OoE, you either love them or hate them, it is what it is
The CotM hate is very forced. There's nothing wrong with the game.
>>737505313>3rd no uYup you are a low IQ brown European. This is the only way you retards argue no u and whataboutism.
>>737505484Controls are a little too stiff. Manageable, but annoying.
>>737505515You turned a wholesome thread into a drug den. Now you are trying to turn it into an IQ measuring contest. Fine, I will play along with you. How long is your IQ? And what color is it?
>>737505623>Eurotards brain is stuck repeating itself post after postlmao
>>737503582The original show was pure dogshit, ignore the trannies trying to say otherwise. First, you have to understand that it's a show made for women, not men. That's first of all. And Nocturne wasn't a big departure in the slightest.
>>737505484I gave up at the Twin Zombie Dragons. Too hard for me.
>>737505667Nocturne is far worse. By a mile.
>>737505667Oh that's great cause I'm a woman.
>>737502841Portrait is by far the best, but Ecclesia is a great game (really they all are)
>>737502841it has the best MC design, but otherwise its the weakest DSvania. replacing the castle with linear stages just doesn't work, it was bad when PoR did it partially and it was worse when OoE went all in on it.
>>737502841>Why is it the best and why would you disagree?Maps are straight lines. OoE is everything Portrait of Ruin did but with worse execution. Top tier art direction and interesting weapom system tho
>>737505667The guy that made it is making a Duke Nukem show so expect a random woman character from one of the spinoffs who was a minor character to be a badass main character who constantly puts Duke in his place
>>737505846I found both to be unwatchable and cringe. I don't know if you have a point, you might, but you're still comparing shit to shit.
So what else are we getting besides Belmont's Curse?Place your bets.I want 3D games collection.
A Castlevania thread? In this economy?
>>7375065128 bit Sepia Belmont game made by Inti Creates. DO IT YOU COWARDS
>>737502841It's too hard and the level design sucks
>>737506512Seconded. Maybe a wider port of Requiem, this time with the PSP version.Some more merch would be nice.And maybe a new, bigger budget console game.
>>737506512Definitely a master collection of the three Kojima Productions games would be great. They had some top voice actors.
>>737506512Enhanced 3D games collection. New M2 Remake. New Classicvania. New console ''Metroidvania''
>>737504289It would have to be a weird one. Only 2d games left are chronicles,legends,rebirth and kinda sotn and rondo. Sotn and rondo have that weird psp emulator ps exclusive collection
>>737505021None hit that difficulty quality sweetspot huh
>>737507538God can konami just pay inti creates or m2 to make a new classicvania. The last one was in 1997 and it was a shitty gameboy game
>>737508631So do the 3D ones. The N64 duo, Lament of Innocence, Curse of Darkness...maybe if they need more they can toss Chronicles or Adventure Rebirth in there.
>>737506512I don't know what to expect. But what I want from CV deep in my soul:>Updated Harmony of Despair>Or HoD 2, but no 3d slop like Grimoire of Souls>Native PS4/X1/PC versions>All DLCs>No PS/XB inconsistencies (local coop, character differences)>Bunch of new stages>Better multiplayer>Better way to grind subweaopns>New characters (at the very least Albus. Perhaps Hammer, Nathan, Juste and adult Maria)>Updated character sprites for consistency (Alucard from DoS instead of SotN, Richter and Maria from PoR instead of RoB/SotN)>Alucard buff>Charlotte/Maria/Yoko mp regen buffs>Jonathan able to use non-whip weapons>Shanoa having her full glyph kit>Soma/Valmanway nerfs
Okay reporting back: First episode of the Netflix adaptation was pretty great. Will report back after episode 2.
>>737509894First season is excellent. Only retards here shitting on it are purist Uncs. Isaac is the best character and far better than the game homo looking game version.
>>737502841I don't know if it's the best, but it's my favorite.
>>737509894Like the very first episode? That storyline about Trevor vs Dracula was entertaining. Most of the complaints are about episodes after that story ends when the writers decide to make most of the plot up and they fail horribly.
>>737509986still mad they didn't bring Isaac back as the evil wizard shaft.
>>737508631SotN seems to have this annoying Sony exclusivity going on (despite the Xbox 360 Live Arcade release), because despite everything, SotN still hasn't featured on a Nintendo system.Castlevania ReBirth is one that I want to see re-released as part of a special Rebirth compilation, alongside Contra ReBirth and Gradius ReBirth.Those titles have never existed outside of WiiWare and that's a shame.You know that WiiWare had a strict 30MB size limit? Making games like that under those restrictions is an accomplishment.
>>737510201I don't think sony has any ownership or exclusivity for sotn. Requiem is just exclusive because it uses sony's in house psp emulator
what is appealing about Castlevania games?
>>737507538You know we don't have a game that shows how Dracula became the master of "The Devil's Fortress": that he named Castlevania.Did he just take over Walter Bernard's old castle or did Dracula build Castlevania from scratch?
>>737510689I always dreamt of a game covering that. Maybe its about Vlad and Walter at war over the Crimson Stone with a new hero in the crossfire. Another werewolf.
>>737510689Dragon quest builders/pokopia type game where you play as dracula building his castle
>>737511016V Rising is that, they even have Castlevania DLC crossover stuff
>>737511016I would play the fuck out of that.
>>737510689Castlevania is a creature of chaos, which is the convenient explanation for why it has a different appearance, layout, features, etc in each incarnation.Though it appears at Dracula's beckon, or sometimes through the darkness in someone's heart (Maxim in Harmony of Dissonance), it needs a flow of chaos to persist. That is why the castle remained trapped in the eclipse even after Dracula was finally vanquished in 1999, and only collapsed when Soma defeated the manifestation of chaos in the chaotic realm.Point being that it doesn't really seem to be something that needs building by conventional means; like the inverted castle in SotN sure as fuck doesn't follow logic.Also yes the castle really is named Castlevania, go check the lore in Order of Ecclesia's menu.
>>737503284Agreed
>>737511016>>737511098Castlevania Builder, staring Kid Dracula!
>>737503167
>>737504097isn't there a bundle on sale where you can get three of those for 37 or 45 dollars?
>>737511329>make your castle>cute maids and the classic bosses start moving in and interacting with each otherI NEED IT
>>737502841Order of Ecclesia is the Silent Hill 3 of Castlevanias
>>737505261>>737503582>blackwashed both charactersNope.
>>737502841Jesus CVfans, could you decide already what game is the best?
>>737511448>The fucker Galamoth keeps trying to wreck your castle
>>737511467Don't care. Their black versions are superior in every way. If you prefer this, you are a tranny.
>>737511016that sounds awesome, imagine building rooms for all your skeleton bros. Even better if it has some tower defense style gameplay where you repel would be heroes.

>>737511584When it does go on sale its usually only by like 5 bucks
Okay, reporting back in, episode 2 was a lot slower than episode 1, but good world building so far. I like Trevor.
>>737511539I hate that design and the niggers. What does that make me?
>>737511632>t-tourist!I am 45 year old man. Been playing this series since the NES days. Netflix Isaac is the best version. Stay mad, faggot.
>>737511539>morning starMore manly than a bucked muzzle
>>737502841(1/3)It is the best and I wouldn't disagree. Not only best Castlevania but in my Top 10 favorite games of all time, with Shanoa being one of the best most underrated female protagonists in vidya.Ecclesia's great because it manages to stand out both mechanically and narratively from the rest of the franchise even after 22 years (and it's been 17 since its release, fucking grim holy shit where does the time go). Mechanically, a lot of Metroidvanias get lost in the sauce where they make these giant labyrinthian maps that may be impressive in a first playthrough or run through the castle but by the second half of the game you're just sprinting through ignoring every enemy because you forgot to check this one square in the ceiling of this one room on the other side of the map. You engage with enemies once, then treat every subsequent encounter as sandbox fodder you defeat in one hit. The DS games couldn't wow due to the hardware they were working with so they instead went deeper into the already existing mechanics and tried to strengthen them, with Ecclesia being the last one made and thus the one they had learned the most with. It's a game that was made with an inherent coherent philosophy behind its moment to moment refining of the gameplay structure of "arrive at stage, advance through the map with challenging enemies while collecting gear, go to next stage". Handhelds limit game size inflation, so Ecclesia looked inwards and returned to a more classic presentation where instead of having one humongous castle you get a whole bunch of variation in smaller stages that feel like an adventure as you explore the countryside then finally visit a smaller yet still adequately sized Dracula's Castle after the second act down point. This classic presentation also allows the game to balance the enemy design with the level structure, with an emphasis on *design*.
>>737502841It's fun, but I tried a couple and got tired of the bullshit. I mostly remember those floating skulls that endlessly spawn off screen, which are just kind of annoying, but I vaguely remember a load of little niggles that just built up until I quit the games I played about 3/4 of the way through. It was death by a thousand cuts
>>737511732>closet faggotJust say you love black man
>>737511726Very based.
>>737511793(2/3)Too many games in the franchise are stupidly easy because of their Metroidvania nature where you become OP easily and the world's your oyster in where and how to explore the same interconnected world all the time, whereas Ecclesia focuses more on interacting with aggressive enemies and more dense combat sections you can't as easily ignore so you've got sections that flat out wouldn't work in previous games like the prison yard with the searchlights, or the straight line in the forest, or the floating crates in the reef stage with the 3D ships in the background while enemies both airborn and underwater try to get you while you need to be constantly on the move both evading and attacking. The game trades backtracking for challenge, possibly being the hardest Castlevania overall since 3, with a plethora of bosses that got more than one person stuck on them, and I just think that as a mechanical flex that's pretty neat and preferred by someone like me that always liked Classicvania more than Metroidvania. Hell I haven't even talked about the Glyph system, or rescuing the Villagers, or the combined attacks or anything in-between.Then narratively, I'd say most games in the franchise coast on 'vibes' more than anything else. Again, due to their more limited nature in presentation a lot of stories build in players' heads moreso than the actual in-game text, propped up by character designs and soundtrack. That's still true of Ecclesia, but it's my belief what *is* there is nevertheless above the norm. Shanoa is a more thematically developed protagonist that works perfectly for a videogame. Her memories, emotions, and to an extent, her autonomy is stripped and put into your hands. She goes on in hope of finding answers only to be met with Barlowe's betrayal and Albus as a reminder of the humanity she's been stripped of.
>>737511841(3/3)The involvement of the Order as a lore element fitting the setting, the existence of the village and the villagers' sidequests turning the location into a hub area you return to time and again, Albus' attempts at protecting his little sister, Shanoa dropping the Simon's Quest quote then crying at the end of the game hit surprisingly harder than most other stories even if objectively it's just as simple a tale. It's surprisingly well told and delivered, and the artstyle not being 2000s anime like the other two DS titles helped in transmitting gravitas. Even something as simple as Shanoa's "Go to hell" when killing the crab boss does a lot with very little. And then, well, you've got the soundtrack that brings it all together:https://youtu.be/8qnDrFECVW4https://youtu.be/1eC4FY_Z7rMhttps://youtu.be/Po4cVGc64Ushttps://youtu.be/OKuRzSRbqgghttps://youtu.be/NsHnrMNSsNQhttps://youtu.be/Ek_k_C_d7OAhttps://youtu.be/4c-pccTwBfEhttps://youtu.be/l2kcrtFrw_chttps://youtu.be/peGqqGnUAAIhttps://youtu.be/fa9oS9mGFdohttps://youtu.be/0DU_dusaZC8https://youtu.be/DeeBhOk8VNEhttps://youtu.be/BwVqt8-jNGchttps://youtu.be/2uJhva1jvWwhttps://youtu.be/--ZG2V04QEghttps://youtu.be/UImoQhzaOJkhttps://youtu.be/dTF1lvGr0pAhttps://youtu.be/HK5rmnMRdvshttps://youtu.be/dmiNzJwHkG4https://youtu.be/FrB-labF3G4Order of Ecclesia is a wholly underrated game that tends to deserve better discussion than what it gets most of the time on /v/, often limited to "hurr durr didja know the game has a stage that's a *hallway*?! lmfao what were they thinking" without studying the reasons or design any deeper. Still, the shitposting has died down in recent years from what I've seen and the recent Dominus Collection being named after an Ecclesia plot element of all things show that even Konami realize Shanoa's game has the pedigree required to interest people. Igarashi's Castlevania end might not have been flashy but fuck me did he go out with a bang with an absolute masterpiece.
>>737511575Oh hai, Sonia.
>>737511897Is this a copy pasta and you swapped out some names from another franchise to fit this thread?

>>737503167Correct>>737503582If you know anything about Castlevania, a simple cursory glance at a trailer would've told you that no, it is not worth it.
>>737511971No, I've spent the last like 20 minutes writing all that shit down in a Notepad because even I, every once in a while, like genuinely talking about videogames I like instead of just shitposting.

>>737512340I dispute it.

>>737512340>Circle of the Moon above anything>Symphony of the Empty Hallways about PoR and OoElollmaoxD even
>>737512340>2. Circle of the MoonAbsurd. Circle is THE worst Castlevania EVER.
>>737513036The new westoid game won't have anything soulful like this.
>>737510689Hold up, didn't Lament of Innocence cover that? Dracula is the amalgamation of all evil, evil that has always existed just as the eternal battle of good vs evil, so after Dracula birth instead of humanity fighting evil forces 24/7 all over the world now a certain group of people have to fight a decisive battle against these evil forces in Dracula's Castle every certain period of time.What would be interesting is to see a continuation to the Soma story, since he put an end to Dracula's Castle all of this evil would go widespread again after a while.
>>737512340good taste. pretty close to my list, but i'd put Circle at 1 and Aria at 3.

>>737514897Wishlist and it should give you a email notification on the next sale.
>>737514745I mean you can easily assume what happens next, Dracula and Dracula's castle being one, "it" just manifests when the time comes.
>>737503167Bait used to be believable
>>737503582Only season 1's first four episodes. Avoid everything else.
>>737511841I like both the classic Castlevania style and the Symphony of the Night styled games, and OoE is a nice mix of both. SotN is ridiculously easy and a lot of the games taking from it were still too easy. It was interesting seeing them make a game so close to SotN, but there was a bit of challenge in places. I'd love if they continued in that direction, taking what made Symphony fun but still making a challenging action game.
>>737506512Please let M2 make another game like Adventure Rebirth with more levels.
>>737515028There is almost a 400 year gap between Lament and Dracula's Curse.That's huge time period worth exploring not just for Dracula but also the Belmont clan.

>>737518058why did you remind me of this shitty game?
>>737518528Because it has a great soundtrack and the alternate designs are either neat or cringekino. I mean they turned Cornell into some armored robo-wolfman looking dude.https://youtu.be/C7Wel5d5uQI
>>737518681>cringekinoNah, just cringe. Music was fantastic tho.
>>737518681Cornell could pass as a Dark Knight in the GARO series, he looks very rad.
>>737518857Obata should've had someone to rein him in on a few of his redesigns.
>>737502841Aria of Sorrow is universally recognized as best Vania.If you disagree, I’m sorry, but you’re wrong.
>>737519285That was all on Iga, they were desperately trying to lure in younger players to Castlevania and Death Note was super popular at the time. Obata's artstyle is fine, my beef with those designs are the costumes. Way too out there and bizarre.
>>737513592I'm still mad about the netflix show, because even the basic setting of the games still offered a foundation for far more interesting writing. In the games, the church is obviously morally grey and not outright evil. They shun the Belmonts in times of Dracula's absence because they fear their power, but they still offer assistance when Drac actually does come back. In netflix we just got another generic "le church bad" take. And the inevitability of Dracula's return could've offered itself for far more mature theming as well, make it analogous with climate change or some shit, how people go full carpe diem but only the few dedicate their lives to ensure a better future when things will inevitably go to shit. Just about ANYTHING actually derived from what little there was to work with could've worked, but we just got a generic vampire fanfiction with a Castlevania skin.
>>737502841It's funny how much it filters the shitters.
>>737518058Hated that game but this design was kino
>>737519591It's the easiest DSvania though
>>737502841Good game but PoR was better
>>737520120Is that why Brachyura, Eligor and Blackmore filter most players.
>>737519527Obata can easily do Conan clone in his style
>>737520216I have to admit, I didn't have too much trouble with them. Somehow Death in PoR and even Dullahan felt really troublesome, and I don't remember much about DoS. But yeah, maybe it's because I had the most fun playin OoE so I subconsciously tried harder or something.
>>737518857>>737518681When will they add Judgment as a bonus to the Castlevania 3D collection (64, LoI, and CoD)?Will Legacy of Darkness be released on Nintendo N64 online?
>>737520629I secretly hope for the 3D remake of Rondo
>>737520810Just needs to be remastered for modern systems.
>>737521142Unity remake and enhance SotN Saturn port of NS, Xbox, and Super Switch
>>737519404I like Dawn way more. The stupid touch screen gimmick is bad, but it lasts less than a minute per playthrough and the whole Castlevania game part is great.
>>737502841>OOE>bestlmao
>>737502841I just got done playing the DS collection. I had the most fun with Dawn of Sorrow. I liked the Soul system; collecting them tickled my autism. Order of Ecclesia barely felt like a Metroidvania until you unlock Dracula's castle, and even then it felt small and linear. I did like Albus mode though; that was fun.
>>737519404Aria is just a watered-down SotN.

>can't even come up with his own comeback, just copypastes the same thing back at meNo wonder, coming from the 'tard that was already BTFO without knowing it hours ago in this same thread
Since we are still waiting on new actual CV games, can I get some clone recommendations?
>>737503439>really out there opinionClassicvania are the only good ones, nothing after 4 was good
>>737522957Saint Slayer sounds based. It's already filtering zoomers.
>>737512340>No Ritchervania>No Castevania 4>OoE instead
>>737523102All metroidvanias are better than the classic ones.
>You want this cool item?>Block this combo attack >all 13 hits>perfectly>because fuck you
>>737523228Nah.
>>737522957This looks amazing but we're still waiting for the dev to finish it.
>>737523228They are completely different types of games. That's like saying Mario Kart is better than Assetto Corsa.
>>737523698I regained hope after learning the developer was hired by AVGN to make him a game and that's why this was put on hold. He is back to finish it. I am hyped. It looks so damn good.
>>737523765I like how the "dungeons" in the game play like a classicvania level.
>>737523832That's why I am excited for it. It looks similar to Castlevania 2. The dungeons are classic levels while the exploration is just like CV 2 with a map. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlWkUzaS3tEIf I can't get an official remake, this is the next best thing.
Where would it rank among the Castlevania games?
>>737523698>>737523765Misread that as trannyvania
>>737524204Harmony of Dissonance?
>>737524204This is your brain on /v/ brainrot.
>>737524204>What is a man?...you are ;) >*game over*
>>737512340>No Dawn of SorrowLMAO
>>737524839Dawn of Sorrow is Aria but they had no idea what the fuck to do about anything.
>>737524289Kino games!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6EXmvn79bc
whats the best 3d castlevania ? Lament of Innoscence ?
>>737525740Curse of Darkness if you can stomach the ugly level design. Lords of Shadows is good but is not Castlevania. More similar to Gow and Rygar.
>>737525740Actually yeah unless you want to count the Lords of Shadow games which are vampire themed God of War knockoffs.
>>737525987Also play Ninja Gaiden and nightmare before christmas.
Loaded question logical fallacy. Anyway, the real answer is Aria of Sorrow.
>>737503582No, the first four episodes are good but not really worth watching. Don't listen to the homos who think that the show suddenly gotten shit at Nocturne or Season 3.
>>737502841I have SotN and AoS ahead of it, but OoE is a close 3rd for me. In fact, despite playing most of them, those 3 are the only metroidvanias that I really like.>>737506512I wouldn't mind a 3D collection that also includes Dracula X Chronicles. That game is way better than it looks, despite its cheap graphics, and it deserves a better showing. I think it's even better than the original RoB.
>>737525740unironically 64.
Is the classic collection a good emulation?
>>73752574064 for sure
>>737526405>NbcWoah, never heard of this game, and its made by capcom tooHe literally has a whip. Nice, ima check it out
>>737525740>whats the best 3d castlevania ?This one.It's a shame Konami gave up after LoI and CoD. They got the atmosphere and aesthetic right, but completely missed on the combat mechanics.
I've played SotN, AoS, HoD, OoC, PoR, CotM, Bloodlines, RondoRanking>SotN>PoR>Bloodlines>CotM>Rondo>OoC>AoS>HoDPoR is a better game than SotN but SotN has unreal levels of aesthetics going for it.

>Hear me Dracula! I am the morning sun, come to vanquish this horrible night!>*Main theme begins playing*https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj3T7cVy5eAName a more iconic moment.
OoCfags are unbelievably obnoxious. It's beyond obvious that they only care about cooming to Shanoa but their insecurity makes it so they constantly lie about liking the actual (mediocre) game she's in.
>>737522957Bloodstained is the obvious one and there's that new one coming out I liked Chronicles of the Wolf a lot but the free fangame that it's derived from, Lecarde Chronicles 2, is arguably even better. But I did appreciate the weapon variety (guns are cool) and magic system tune-ups in Chronicles. They're also both like 20 hours to 100%.
>>737530772I might be in the minority, but I actually like OoE for being a blend of Classic and Igavanias. Then again I do like both genres so if you only like one or the other I can see why you'd hate it, but personally I see it like going on one big adventure. Also the story was very personal and heartwrenching. There's no Gods or epic good vs evil or anything. The Belmonts have disappeared and its just regular humans - hell Shanoa would've double KO'd against Dracula if not for Albus' sacrifice. It also ends on a very bittersweet note where Shanoa is forgotten by history, despite being the one who gathers all the Belmont descendants together and trains them up again. Feels like a fitting end for Castlevania being Iga's last game and all before he left.
>>7375065123D games collection feels like the only option left unless they grow a pair and port symphony and rondo to everything else, but that would require using another emulator or making them native
>>737506512>I want 3D games collection.Just give me a PS5 port of LoS trilogy with all DLCs.
>>737511459In that it's great and not talked about as often as it should be?
>>737534689Get on my level
>>737510689That was fucking bomb, but the interior was kinda small. I thought the castle should be much larger. Ten times larger. Easily ten times larger. That construction blew my mind, though.
>>737530242There's more SOVL in that single pic than most popular games nowadays.
>>737530772Sounds to me like you're desperate for that to be the case so you ignore all genuine discussion of Ecclesia's merits.
>>737502841the weapon/spell variety is not as fun as the previous 2 DS vanias. and I didn't like how linear it was, the map design prevents the ability to enter older areas through different routes.love shanoa though, she CUTE!
>>737537249Soubds great.I hate forced getting lost in labyrinths
