Wait so why are we all hating on the new Castlevania again?
because it is shit
>>749135168Because it sucks
>>749135168Lol. 'Cado on the 'log
>>749135168Because it sucks shit
>>749135168because shit sucks
>>749135168I'm not a contrarian though, so I don't hate it
>>749135168I'm not. I loved it. The movement is really satisfying. Which isn't that surprising given that the devs worked on Dead Cells, or more notably, Rogue Prince of Persia. The combat and whip stuff is also really fun and satisfying, even if the only "intense" combat room of the demo is the one with the fist weapon. Though the demo didn't have much music, what was there was cool. And even if it only had one boss battle. And presumably the very first boss battle. It was cool. Pretty Megaman-esque. I hope all or most bosses have weaknesses to exploit too. But if the later bosses are more elaborate and intense, that could be very exciting.
>>749135845>pretends to like horrible trash to socially cut his own cock offAlright we get it you're jewish
>the only post mentioning anything about the game is someone who likes the game>every other post is negative about the game but doesn't describe whyHmm
https://youtu.be/JJv4cnPuN6k?t=5032>literally wet farts for a soundtrackwhy are YOU not hating it? retard
>>749136259This reads like a paid post. I have no proof but I will not be convinced otherwise.
>>749137069The demo is really short. You could try it yourself.
>>749137069>Articulated opinion>"Hmm, must be fake"LLMs have rotted everyone's brain
>>749135168It isn't good.
They turned Castlevania into Dark Souls slop
>>749138326So they made Hollow Knight 3?
>>749138326It was already going in this direction with OOE with the hard hitting enemies/bosses, the dodge rolling and the magic meter basically being a souls-like stamina meter. It even came out before Demons Souls
>>749135168It sucks donkey balls
>>749135845So you're a conformist.
>>749138326Not sure about Dark Souls but they turned Castlevania into a generic "metroidvania" in the worst way possible.
>>749137067big and large oof
>>749138103Oh yeah, what a well articulated response.>"Wow, the demo was cool and satisfying, very exciting and "intense"".It reminds me of that HBomberguy review of Dark Souls 2 where he was trying to praise the DLC despite obviously never having played it. What does "Megaman-esque" even mean? I've certainly never played a Mega Man game that played like that. Do you know what games I have played that remind me of the demo? Dead Cells, Hollowknight, Blasphemous. Games purpose built for the "metroidvania" crowd where you run up to bosses, spam attack and then mash dodge. Castlevania has always been about deliberate movement and positioning.
>>749138638This is getting more ridiculous the more I read, netflincels have really ruined everything
>>749135168It's mid and has a visual style that reminds me of the shitty Netflix show. And dull music.
>>749138795>What does "Megaman-esque" even mean? I've certainly never played a Mega Man game that played like that.The Zero/ZX games, and to a lesser extent the X games. Have circumstantial context sensitive weaknesses that you can exploit with the correct timing or the correct timing and appropriate tool. But well. Even the classic games have the weapon/"elemental" weaknesses. And using specific tools/tarot cards to fuck up the bosses during specific moments of their boss phases? Yeah. That reads as kind of Megaman-esque to me. Do you really insist that it was a poor comparison? Well I don't it was.
>>749135168I'll pirate it but the demo was ass and the leaks are atrocious.
>defending this turdWEW
>>749138326This FuckI'll be waiting for Bloodstained instead or even Curse of Darkness mod for SOTN
>>749138638
>>749135168>what if castlevania but for incelsYeah nobody is interested in this
>no contact damage from enemies >the music is absolute shit>the art style looks like a mobile game>it’s just a reskinned dead cellsThe demo made me remove it from my wishlist.
>self serve difficulty>no contact damage>poor gameplay density>mechanical darwinism>betrays the arcade roots of the series
>>749139895Same but I never played Dead Cells. I just thought it felt like a shittier Hollow Knight.
>>749135168I never really liked Dead Cells so I'm not interested in general
>>749136259That gameplay looks fine to me, but I’m also not a big castlevania fan. I only played SotN and Bloodstained.
>>749138638The stain of that Netflix series will never be removed now, will it?
>>749139282This plays nothing like the Zero games. Saying they're similar because you can exploit weaknesses is a surface-level game journalist comparison. The original Castlevania let you freeze bosses with holy water, does that mean it was "megamanesque"?
>>749135168Because the demo came out and we played it
>>749138541Pretty much how I feel about it. Metroid fans complain that most Metroidvanias ape Castlevania but they really don't. Outside of Bloodstained there are fuck all games that actually feel like Castlevania, and now Castlevania itself has become another generic indie Metroidvania. A Hollowlike, if you will.
>>749140235
>>749140235Never. Biggest mistake Konami ever made.
>>749138478No. Dead cells with shit music and netflix castlevania.>>749139282>Well I don't it was.You should check yourself for a stroke. >>749140235It's the curse of caine. Given the pitch requirements of netflix to have shit like out of place black people, I doubt they will find redemption.
>>749140387Second biggest. If they had kept it on screen it could be easily ignored as just a shitty adaptation. But it's leaking into the games.
>>749138532No.
>>749135168if you called it by another name I wouldn't even know it's Castlevania and would have thought it was some metroidvania troonslop
What are some indie metroidvanias that actually have good soundtracks? This one is dogshit and the Hollow Knight games have bland ones.
>>749140180>I never really liked Dead Cells so I'm not interested in generalIt's much worse than Dead Cells, Dead Cells is the best roguelite metroidvania even with shit graphics.
>>749140687Bloodstained
>>749135168Cause it's garbage, I don't think there needs to be more reasons
>>749136259>MegamanesqueAh that's why it's fucking dogshit?
>>749140687Ender series
>>749135168I enjoyed the demo but I have two complaints.1. Static placeholder art instead of proper cutscenes is shit. Either do cutscenes or don't do them at all.2. Using American voice actors for a game set in France in the year 1499 is baffling.
>>749140081Castlevania is a core gamer console series. Haunted Castle is absolute trash. Also where does Revenge of Shinobi fit into this bait?
>>749136259Alright deerqueer, who's paying you to make these posts? Blink twice if your foreskin is on the line.
>>749140927>Ender seriesThat shit is grating as hell and it's girl coded anime bullshit too.>>749140687One of the only ones with good music I've found, is Chronicles of the Wolf. The game is mostly jank aesthetically otherwise.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qZN9ljn4tc
>>749140235It’s the reason Konami’s even going back to making Castlevania games. No Castlevania game has sold even 2 million copies, Lords Of Shadow got close with like 1.8 million. But millions more have watched both the Netflix shows, so it will influence Castlevania going forward
>>749141103>xxx codedOh you're one of those
>>749141130they need to make a game like SotN again
>>749140687ribi rabilamulana
>>749139282What you're describing sounds lame and restrictive hell. Both Megaman's and Castlevania item games are much more open ended than merely playing match cards.
>>749140762Dead Cells is more of a slightly randomized obstacle course where the only object is to clear it quickly. It's closer to Mario than a Roguelite or a Metroidvania. Navigational challenges and searching aren't even in teh game.
I liked the demo but I got spoiled and the plot sounds like the gayest shit imaginable>belmonts will no longer hunt the night... but bring dawn to humanityget the fuck out of here with that gay shit you can tell they really thought they were being clever with this line.
>>749140081>Rondo is worse than Haunted CastleNo human has ever thought this
>V*nny either streams it, is disappointed, but (poorly) masks it to assure his tranny audience that he doesn't hate it, then drops it after a few streams>Grits his teeth and powers through it because it's a genre that's familiar to him and the mediocrity is manageable enough for him to play on autopilot>Sees reviews that say it's ok-to-mediocre, then never touches it because he takes journos' words as gospel>Makes the convenient excuse that he has "too many games" to stream now that it's Spooptober and needs to get his bag from all the seasonal horror slop coming out
>>749141408Is that hinting towards Juese Belmont in the future?da nanana na na da nana
>>749141235The GBA/DS trilogies were basically this. Those also did not sell very well, and people were already complaining about stagnation by the time PoR came out.
>>749140237>The original Castlevania let you freeze bosses with holy water, does that mean it was "megamanesque"?No. But that is different. Just look at The Fallen fight of this game. You can attack him while he is swinging but he won't fall. You can throw the fireball at him and he won't fall. But if you throw the fireball in particular at him, while he is swinging, he will fall. That's different from merely stunlocking enemies with holy water in the classicvanias.
>>749141623I came here looking for a good argument but you ignore everything and focus on how the game is "megamanesque" and therefore good.I think reddit might be more your speed, sport. You can talk about how metroidvanias satisfy your particular brand of autism and how excited you are to play your first Castlevania.
>>749135168Try defending this
>>749135168I liked the demo. The leaked weapons and what not look really fun. /v/ just hates everything. Art is great but I will agree the music I've heard kinda sucks which is a shame because castlevania music is iconic. Still gonna play it.
>>749142000>he bought a ps5lol cut your nails fag
>>749142000>PC vs Console>Bluetooth vs WiredThere's the reason, you should see how bad it gets on fully 3D games that go below 30 FPS or ones with framegen shit.
>>749142000I thought the delay was only on pc, guess it's fucked everywhere
>>749142035>music kinda sucksNo it doesn't just kinda suck, it's literally a contender for worst game soundtrack of all time. It sounds like something cooked up by a retarded nigger trying to make beats for the first time.
>>749140235As any discourse on Alucard has shown, yep.That shit fucked CV really bad.
>>749141596a whole new generation of people have been introduced to castlemanias since hollow knight. there has never been a better time to release an actually good game in the series
>>749142130You need to play more video games if you think this is the worst. But you sound like a total retard that doesn't even play video games in the first place.
>>749135168I couldn't even get past watching some dude play the demo. It looks so fucking bad. How do you drop the fucking ball this hard? Fuck Konami, fuck the Deadcells devs, fuck all of you.
>>749142165It's fucking garbage you retard, and it's made even worse that it's a castlevania game which is known for having decent and layered music. You seriously can't believe that there is anything redeeming about this soundtrack aside from sampling CV's most famous songs
>>749142243Like I said, play more video games. I know that's a hard ask on /v/.
>>749141953>I came here looking for a good argument but you ignore everything and focus on how the game is "megamanesque" and therefore good.My claim of it being Megaman-esque was the part of my post that you cited and replied to. Are you surprised that I didn't go off on a wild tangent about all my other thoughts of the demo?
>>749142272I play lots of games and I love videogames, which is why I'm not content with a piece of shit they're trying to sell me with a legacy IP name branded on it.
>>749142457Ok dude glad to hear it.
>>749142000No wonder it felt like shit to play
Remember when the Castlevania Dead Cells DLC was new? People generally just praised it. The overall sentiment was positive. What changed between then and now? Had Belmont's Curse release then I really don't think the reaction would have been this.
>>749139895>no contact damage from enemiesdo you mean there isn't a retarded amount of hitstun? in the year 2026? dear lord goty kino incoming
>>749142565just /v/ being /v/
>>749142568No? Contact damage and hitstun are entirely different things. The lack of contact damage was really nice once I realized it. So many 2d games have fucking contact damage.
>>749142565>What changed between then and now?Maybe that this is nothing like it whatsoever?
I'm starting to think most people that hate it got filtered by the first boss.
>>749142565>>749138638
>>749142674This actually
>>749142674Can you even get filtered by this boss? He has a pretty simple pattern.
>>749142272>"you disagree with me because I just know more"Weak cope faggot. You're a tastelet who mindlessly consooms and shills for games you're autistically attached to. You sound like some redditfag I saw defending the music because he "felt like he was in the club dancing with the monsters." Anyone saying something that gay and dancing to such shit music needs to kill himself immediately.
>>749142728this is /v/ we are talking about, most of them "play" gacha games
>>749142736I accept your concession.
>>749135168I was ambivalent about it until I read the spoilers and saw how the story went.
>>749142728You'd be surprised
I heard the ost
>>749142787And I accept that you're too young to have developed proper taste yet and get excited by jingling keys and any music with bass no matter how shit it sounds
>>749142728kyle bosman got filtered hard by it>literally whohe does all the preshows for dorito pope's shows and used to be part of that tranny easy allies group
>>749143005>plays the age card out of nowhereYeah that's how I know you're young. Enjoy your youth and stop shitposting on 4chan at 1am lol.
>>749142035>/v/ just hates everythingThe age old cope
>>749143139How is it cope nigger /v/ fucking hates everything that isn't porn.
>>749142728You do realize this is /v/ we're talking about.
Why are chuds always hating a new games???
>>749143082More larping and coping from a retarded unc. Some of us on /v/ actually grew up with the original NES trilogy and have been waiting for a new CV game since LoS2. This absolute dogshit of a game is an insult and gleefully leans into netflix's niggerfication of the franchise. The faggots at Motion Twin were dying to get an official CV collab with dead cells and eventually got the dlc, and now that they have a chance to make a whole game, they got fucking complacent and decided to put out horseshit. This isn't what anyone wanted but of course an old faggot like you comes here to shill and announce he'll gladly eat any slop placed in front of him.
STOP HATING AT EVERYTHING CHUDDIES!!
>>749143320god you're obnoxious
>>749143152Because it's a crutch argument over people being hyperbolic about a demo you can boot up, I don't even factor in the leaks since I'll just wait to see it for myself
>>749143376But I liked Bloodstained 1 and am planning on getting Bloodstained 2. And I think that the pursuit of using 3D models to create pseudo-2D is not a bad idea at all even if they didn't do a 10/10 job.And that booby vampire is great.>NOOOOO I MEANT LIKE WHAT I TELL YOU TO LIKE
>>749143429nobody here is even playing the demo because they are jeets on phones
>>749143487If you say so, if you like or dislike stuff you'll get called an Indian these days
>>749143540just stop being one of the piece of shit brownoids and nobody will mind that you are brown rajeesh
>>749135168Question how many units do you think this will sell?
>>749138638Sounds kino, I hope carmilla becomes the new vampire queen/girlboss and rapes alucard.
>>749143428Log off old man. You like to larp as a boomer but there's a decent chance I'm just as old as you. At least I didn't turn out as a tastelet.
>>749143564Case in point
>>749143320>leans into netflix's niggerfication of the franchiseYou've been calling it netflix shit since the very first trailer back when the game was first revealed. And it's been entirely baseless the entire time. You're just brain broken.
>>749138638giving a shit about the story of castlevania is about as bad as you faggots coming every inch of a dark souls game to explain why an NPC is barefoot or something, like jesus christ, just jump, whip and collect shit, its a video game, not a fucking greek epic poem
>>749140081I know you motherfuckers got bad taste but jesus at least not make it look like a meme will you
>>749143586If that's true that's fucking sad because you're a buzzword using retard. But yeah it's late and I got better shit to do so smell ya later.
>>749140762Feels like im playing a indie platformer more than a roguelike, like theres no real reward in exploration its just smash through the level as fast as you can and fuck the rest
>it's always been bad>it doesn't matter
>>749135168>everyone ignoring the fact that OP has cado's ass in itThis site is finished. You're all fucking bots.
>>749140235yes lets not tarnish the lore of 'dude beats up a vampire with a fuckin whip for some reason'And if it was well written you miserable fucks would just call it capeslop or something anyway, fuck off and try to smile once a day, might actually fuckin help
>>749143637Good hopefully you kill yourself.
>>749143674Every time.
>>749135168Only legit complaint is the music and I can't deny that's half the charm of a castlevania.
>>749141596because none of them were SotN? The one with the girl was close and the best one but the rest has just been anime dogshit, portrait of ruin being the worst by farCHARLOTTEJOHNATHANCHARLOTTE
>>749143727Typical underage response I knew it was coming :^)
>>749142000That's just how modern games are
>>749143594No I started calling it niggerflix slop once the soundtrack and script leaked. Before that I said it looked kind of ugly like dead cells.
>>749142165It's gonna get replies such as this since it's CV
>>749135168>i dont like the music>i dont like the artstyle>i dont want to play as a female belmont>it feels like dead cells>dead cells is shit>i hate the animations>i hate the floaty jump i dont know why people hate the game honestly
>>749143942judging by your pic you seem like a tremendous faggot
>>749143985im a flower no need to be rude
>>749143703You new around here? You see a gif where there shouldn't be one, you don't click on it
>>749144014you definitely suck cocks and not even the good kind
>>749143703>he clicked on it LOL FAGGOT
>>749144038i dont and stop trying to deviate from my og post you bitch
>>749144062yeah you suck and eat those dicks like they're hot dogs
>>749143703It's a generic OP using cover art. Most people don't need to expand it.
>>749144094that is some aggressive homosexual projection right there you best stay the fuck back before you get shot
>>749144167Whatever faggot I will eat those dicks and shit them into your mouth.
>>749142000>jump on releaseoh my god I hecking love dark souls
>>749144210die nigger
>>749142000>used a gamesir to show how shit the input is for new gameits so much worse than i thought
>>749144249racist
>Say the artstyle's too colorful and saturated>"HURR DUR LE LARPVANGEION MUH NES COLORINOS">Fails to see the irony
>>749144431The color is objectively bad. Flooding a screen with slightly desaturated neon colors that don't go together looks horrible.
>>749135168I don't. I think it plays great, and I like how the dodges don't have i-frames, meaning they are repositioning tools.However, I don't like how the VFX obscure the enemies, and how they barely react to your hits. And while I think the visuals are fine, the music is meh.And its travesty to start the game with a sword and not a whip.
>>749140762There is no universe where Dead Cells is a metroidvania. None.
>>749140081This is among the weirdest scattershot of autism triggers I've ever seen posted on /v/.Just seeing nu-gaiden alone posted as "arcade purity" was diabolical.
If you didn't sequence break in the demo and get 6.6% completion, you did not beat the game.
>>749135168I was somewhat hyped for about ten seconds until I saw the monster girl designs.The industry needs to stop hiring people who have any time for Karen's hypocritical envy-driven screeching. Or trannies who get filled with rage when they see an attractive woman. Cater to normal guys.
>>749143709Shut up, nigger.
>Things I likeThe controls are goodThe first boss was pretty fun>Things I don't likeThe musicThe artstyleThe storyThe voice actingThe cookie cutter estus healing and monster respawn systemThe generic spell systemOverall though nothing about it feels like a Castlevania game. If you took away the castle in the background you would not be able to tell me this is a Castlevania game. It feels like every other metroidvania currently on steam instead of the triumphant return of the Castlevania series. I'm sure that if I got the game, skipped every cutscene, and lowered the music volume I'd have a decent enough time, but that's about it.
>>749145270>The voice actingIf you're even a little bit sane, use the Japanese voices. They're good.
