Is the screen shake, controls and movement bothering anyone else? Bloodstained feels more like Castlevania than this.
I miss contact damage
>>749566748Dead Cells devs should've been the dead giveaway he's a big guy
It's released in latin america and it looks boring as fuckhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No6RNSafHB0
as a catholic i hope the bishop and saint joan aren't really evil it would be quite disturbing and wrong to play this game for me.i also hope leon's downfall is well explained and trevor doesn't die like a dog.
>>749566748I dislike how "sticky" it feels.
>>749566962it does have contact damage
>>749569278The demo does not, so why would the full game have it?
>>749568149The bishop is mammon. Joan and Leon are corrupted by Death. Trevor is killed by Death
>>749569315yeah it does when you bump into the guys you take damage
I don't get why everyone's complaining about the music.I'm listening to it right now and the more experimental elements they added like glitching choir or the bass elements sound really cool to me. All these gothic elements mixed with the modern ones makes for a very unique sound for a Castlevania game.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZ8O0xZQTXg
>>749567036The insta death spikes everywhere looks absolute shite
>>749569434dumb bot. You can keep walking into any enemy or boss
>>749570463Respectfully, I fucking hate you.
>>749566748>Bloodstained feels more like Castlevania than this.not at all surprising, but worth noting.
>>749571756Not without taking damage
>>749572026Not even the medusa heads have contact damage you troglodyte
>>749572098This anon's right >>749572026Game is filled with contact damage
>>749570463Nah, sounds like a robot taking an oily shit. Not the least bit Castlevania.
It look this streamer less than 4 hours to reach Draculahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=250TrfWqpzs
>>749566748>Bloodstained feels more like Castlevania than this.Yeah no hit, it's made by people who worked on the series for years instead of retarded westoids.
>>749572947>weak ass bitch jobs to draculaWhat a fucking disgrace.
>>749572947looks like shit
>>749573128>no Dave Wittenberg as Leon>no Jamieson Price as "Brauner">only VA that has done prior VA work for CV games is Liam O'Brien
>>749572947Yep the music is indeed terrible.
>>749573498Prepare for 9/10 reviews though
>>749573408>random tough guy as Leon
>>749573576Looking forward to it. I expect them to glaze the cuckflix cartoons in each and everyone of them too.
This is my first time hearing the Bloody Tears "remix".
>How many Alucard paintings do you want in your chapel senpai?
>>749573978All of them, how else will I be able to tell this game is Castlevania?
Who thought trap would be appropriate for a Castlevania game?
WE must be better Belmondos
I'm happy that Leon and Isaacs themes didn't get massacred.
Got to admit, the enemy designs are great
>HUNT THE NIGHT every time you throw a cross
This area be 1000x better if Dracula's Tears played in the background instead.
>>749574283Do you even fight Isaac in this game? I don't think they will ever do justice to his battle theme.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4a5Ct4nOvQ
I'm surprised there's so much nostalgia for LoI and Leon in particular, I always thought the actual game was pretty unremarkable and the only thing I liked about Leon was that his perpetual gormless blank face made most of his scenes funnier than intended.
>>749573576also prepare for the play count on steam to be dogshit, this game is going to flop
>>749574907The modern audience will buy it
>>749573858https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wk8FiHa1ZoQHave a good version to take your mind off it
>>749574813You do. He's still sperging about Hector
>>749574972I honestly dont think they will.
>>749574813>still no option to swap out OSTs
>>749574834The game is pretty bland overall but the ending scene with Mathias (Dracula) and setting up all future events was pretty good, even if they just stole it from Francis Ford Coppola kek
>>749575085they will buy, play it for an hour, then go larp on reddit. never finish the game. yes, this is exactly what happened with skyrim/witcher3
>>749575064>superior demon forgemaster>beats his ass 3 times in a row one of those times as dracula>fucks his sisterHector is based.
>>749574972You really fail to realize how dead the Castlevania IP is, even at it's "peak" it was never a system seller
>>749574834Why wouldn't there be?He's the patriarch of the clan who created the vampire killer and started the whole feud with Mathias/Dracula, LoI was also the first decent 3D Castlevania with an excellent OST, there's plenty of reason to glaze him and his game.
>>749575506>an excellent OSTI will give it that much, the music is truly jammin'
>>749574834I love Leon's "I'll kill you AND THE NIGHT"
>>749575506the game seems to exist specifically to shit on Leon however
>>749569434It does not. If the monster is not attacking you, you can press up against it and give it a hug. There is no contact damage. >>749566748https://store.steampowered.com/app/3704270/Magnavale_Eternal_Soul/This knock-off is more of a Castlevania than this thing is. I played the demo. It ripped the fuck out of SoTN and Aria, but it's fun as hell. Contact damage, music, weapons and enemy designs. All kind of copied, but great. Has good QOL things, like a map to show you where a monster you fought before can be found, in case you want to farm its soul. Wish the dev hadn't copied the fucking drop rate of SoTN as well. 0.8% to get a soul is abysmal. It has a "mercy" system, in which your rate does go up the more of it you kill if you don't have its soul. But it only works for the very first one, so if you wanna upgrade it, eat shit.
>>749566748>screen shakehorrible>controlsfine>movementa bit sluggish but not to the point that it makes me not want to play
I finished his game the other day, pretty cool but I hated the navigation didn't even mind the combat. Songs top tier obviously and I liked the story
>>749574834You're just a retard I guess that's irony poisoned
>>749575647I'm not playing your furtranny game.
>>749575937It's not mine. And yeah.... I can't defend the obvious furry character designs. Plays great though. You can even have a pet follow you around.
damn leonfags..yall really are like this huh
>>749575647I replayed DoS for the first time in a long time a few days ago since it tis the season and holy shit I think it's temporarily put me off the concept of soul drops as a whole. At least AoS is a little more lenient with the grinding since you don't need to do it for gear, and RotN has a lot of QOL improvements and doesn't require anything for progression outside of the jellyfish dudes with the high drop rates.DoS has so much grinding just for basic shit that it made me feel insane. Want a weapon? Grind souls motherfucker. Want your souls to not be shit? Grind souls motherfucker. Want to get the real ending? Grind souls motherfucker. Want a drop chance higher than 1%? That'll be $300,000, bitch.And then they have the audacity to even make you grind for Black Panther, which they hold off until literally the last room of the game. Fuck off.
>>749576218The fact that some souls are so useful you feel like you're handicapping yourself if you don't get them is a real pain. It's worse for people like me that "need" to get all the souls, and max them out. This is why I don't feel bad for cheating. Grinding souls just wasted my time, and almost always ends with me being way over-leveled. So yeah. I cheat. And I'll do it again.
>>749576218DoS is only good for Julius mode.
>>749576176Western developed Castlevanias aren’t Castlevania.
>>749567036At 1 hour 18 mins, this is not Castlevania. This is some gay mutation. No Castlevania game should ever be that far zoomed out unless they are showing off some gigantic boss. These devs need a wakeup call
It's out? Is it out on the seas as well?
>>749574972>modern audienceso something that doesn't exist?
>>749575647I played the demo for Furry Aria as well. I don't care for the furfag shit and skipped the cutscenes immediately but I was most certainly enjoying the game enough as I caught myself grinding souls without thinking.Between this and Scarlet Engagement, I'm pleasantly getting my fix despite Konami's best efforts.
>>749574834I think they just shove Leon in things because he looks kind of like Raiden from MGS2 (or alternatively Nero from DMC4) and they're banking on people making the mistake
>>749576218I never understood the obsession with putting Black Panther/Acceleratio/whatever at the very end, DoS is hardly the only game to do itJust let me move fast you fucks, you already put fast travel points in the game so what's the big deal?
>>749574834I feel my opinion is the opposite. I'm surprised that the game has this weird hatred of LoI and Leon in particular. Of all the existing Belmonts to tear down, they went with Leon? Fucking why?
>>749577629Called it. There was no way Trevor was going to survive, if only because they needed to give Rose the Vampire Killer.
>>749578018I think in the best ending he survives, who gives a shit anyway this game is gay and not canon
>>749576909No. Probably review copies and retards breaking embargo or whatever.
>>749577923As a big fuck you to Iga?
>>749578308Envy is an ugly color.
>>749576771Is it fun, at least?
The OST feels like suno music, are we sure it's not ai generated?
>>749578308That implies Konami had a heavy hand in the story, which I can't deny by any means but we also won't know unless somebody says something later down the line.Unless the Dead Cells guys just really fucking hate Iga for some reason which would be as ridiculous as it is funny.
>>749577923Literally because he is the foundation of the Belmont clan and their mission. The first thing subversives and commie freaks do is attack a tree at the roots.
>>749578458KonamiUK said the music was done by some persian faggot named asadi.https://x.com/KONAMIUK/status/2107501138153193903
>>749578458AI or not AI, it doesn't matter. It's shit.
>>749577923If they hated Leon he wouldn't be in the game at all retard.
>>749578458In fact, I'm leaning towards not AI, simply because AI would have gotten SOMETHING right, by pure chance.
>>749575647>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3704270/Magnavale_Eternal_Soul/>actually looks like a straightforward castlevania clone>dogshit purple blob of a furry protagonistHopefully someone releases a mod that turns her human or something because this looks unplayable.
>>749578863I don't mind it, it just that.... it doesn't matter. Them being dragons has zero bearing on the plot. They have no cool dragon powers. They don't turns into dragons for a special attack. If we'd at least have a breath attack.... or something. Anything. PS: The head dragon maid is cute though....
>>749567036>remember the series that heavily de-emphasized platforming?>let us bring platforming faggotry directly from modern metroidvanias right back into it
>>749578863it straight up looks like they ripped Castlevania assets and copied the UI and everything only to paste a furshit character on top. Whole game looks stolen and there's something profoundly wrong about it, like it's triggering some kind of uncanny valley mandela effect shit that my brain just utterly rejects
>Art direction is clearly meant to be in line with the Judenflix CS cartoons>Leaked story script reads out like it was written by a bunch of Deviantart fan fiction fags circa 2007-2010 who only ever read short summaries of vidya and shows they were totally fans of>Soundtrack features literal Nigger hip-hop bop tracks>Blatant shill bots defending the game on various sitesNo way fag
I will not take a look at this and judge it. I am not an incel chud like the rest of you.
>>749566748you can turn off screen shake like in every modern video game retard. and bloodstained is fucking dog shit.
>>749579541literally picrel
>>749574834>I'm surprised there's so much nostalgia for LoI and Leon in particularThere isn't much of it. It's just that Leon's inclusion means he's the closest pearl for clutching. Lament of Innocence is bad, and the story is shit even for Castlevania standards. It's a little weird that they even decided to include him; not that the timeline has much room at this point.
>>749578524I can think of a few reasons to hate Igarashi.
>>749578423Is it magenta? Cuz BR is like 90% magenta
Literally the only good thing about Rose is that she's voiced by Ishikawa in japanese dub
>>749567036The music is actually ear-raping. This is just as bad as HoD ost. I literally cannot even watch a playthrough without muting it because after 10 minutes it starts destroying my ears.
>>749566748>another Castlevania game with gay anime aesthetic and Metroid map instead of linear and Hammer/Universal European horror movie aestheticI'll pass.
>>749580716She's cute as fuck too
>>749580884>Posts on 4chan>Hates anime
>>749566962Obstacles you should avoid are bad game design.
Why do vermin think this game is gonna fail again?Was the fallen too hard for them?Like the demo was pretty good it was just too damn short.
>>749581929>anon can't understand the difference between gay anime and anime
>>749566748Was this really made based of the woke netflix version?Is their a hot coffee scene with alucard being male raped
>>749580884>posts gay anime>hates gay animelmao
>>749566962Yeah, what a blunder to remove it
>>749566748>no save room before the boss>no on contact damage with enemieswhat the fuck is this shit
>>749582038No
Watch this get like an 85
>>749580884It's not anime this time though
The music sounds like a robot with diarrhea holy fuck
>>749582038Heavily inspired
>>749566962>>749582131Skong apologists doing damage control
>screen flashbangs you everytime you hit an enemy????
>>749573408I don't know if the voices are good or bad, haven't played it.But not hiring any of the regular sag-aftra cultists is a good thing.
>>749580032Same composer btw >>749578570
>>749582034It takes a gay to recognize what anime is gay-coded and what's just anime, I guess.
>>749566748If you went into this thinking you were going to play a Castlevania game, you're a deranged retard.
>>749576771This might be the gayest fucking complaint I've read in weeks, holy shit. Neck yourself, faggot.
>>749566748#notmycastlevania
I thought the demo was fun
>>749580884It is somewhat less gay looking than Kojima's art, but also less interesting.
>>749566962why
>>749580032N
>>749566962Contact damage is dogshit design
>>749586058name 1 (one) good 2D game without contact damage

>>749586151Do Rayman Origins/Legends have contact damage? I can't remember
>Watch 30 seconds of it>Generic as fuck hyper repetitive "I'm Castlevania music" music >Screen earthquake on hitRofl retards bought this
>>749588034Holy shit the music is making me want to jump out the window
I am halfway through (map-wise at least) with Chronicles of the Wolf. Pretty fun so far.
>>749586987My bad
>>749588384I tried to like that game.
>>749589090What did you dislike about it? I've had my eye on it for a while but I keep forgetting to get it when it's on sale.
>>749566748>Bloodstained feels more like Castlevania than this.Almost like Bloodstained was made by former Castlevania devs.
At least Rose's girlboss attitude is Dracula's curse that needs to be broken according to the scathing story leak
>>749589152In what little I played (I gave it an honest shot) it just looked and felt very awkward. The level design is eh. It has its heart in the right place though, especially in terms of mood. It's much closer to what I want out of Castlevania on that front than Belmont's Curse or, for that matter, several of Igarashi's titles.
Because Bloodstained is Castlevania. This is just a Dead Cells reskin.
>tumblr artstyle>tarot cards>15 minute long demo, probably means 10 hour game>muh soulsliekredditors will overrate the hell out of this generic shit
>>749589295>according to the scathing story leakI thought it was funny how there was that one thread where that anon posted the actual leaked dialogue to prove the leak was real but then just revealed that the "leak" had intentionally left out details like Rose defending Leon's actions (the accusations of the shit he did wrong were made by Medusa) and that Rose doesn't denounce Leon's oath to hunt the night at all.
>>749589598It was kind of funny to see how desperate people are to hate this game (likely because they're attention whores) but after a while it gets sad.
>>749589598>the accusations of the shit he did wrong were made by MedusaAnd St Louis being the absolute shitter saint he is. Rose also admitted it's a sin by promising to kill Dracula for good to "stone" - to let that fucker to let go. Also did you miss the whole hunting for the 4 Cardinal Values that Leon lacked, the other people in game making fun of Leon's journey like the Ferryman, and the implications of "The Belmont will no longer only hunt the night. They will show humanity the dawn"? The leak exaggerated but there's a shit ton of bullshit and shitting on Leon's revenge
>>749590248*AtoneSt Louis is a shit in this game
>>749589390I know exactly what you mean from playing the demo. You can tell it has soul, but it just feels bad to play on the moment to moment.
>>749589598lol look at them still trying to do it
>>749582038>Was this really made based of the woke netflix version?It wasn't. Only shitposters keep repeating this claim.
>>749582038It reused the plotline from Netflix for Carmilla's backstory
>>749567036holy fuck. some fucking retard looked at Hollow Knight and thought that's what Castlevania ought to be>spike parkour everywhereFFS
>>749590741The art direction is clearly meant to be inspired by the Netflix Castlevania cartoons, so don't blame people for assuming it's writing is also going to be utter dog water.
https://youtu.be/0uLFL4b4jYgThis scene isn't even good. I have no idea why they would try to recreate it as the backstory for Carmilla in game
>>749591274>The art direction is clearly meant to be inspired by the Netflix Castlevania cartoonsHow so? The fashion choices, creature designs. Bosses. None of it really follows the Netflix style at all. It even has the ridiculous boots and excessive belts from Curse of Darkness. Rose is blue like Sypha, yes. But Sypha was a character before Netflix's adaptation and blue was already her colour.
>>749591386Not going to watch it but anything is a step up from>dude i'm an evil vampire i'm going to resurrect dracula and kill you!
>>749590803>>749591613It's baffling why they didn't just use Carmilla's actual backstory from the titular novel in the first place.
>>749591386>I'm going to waltz into this castle full of human lawn ornaments and ask for an educationI hate Lisa.The game that comes after the show would always have a problem. Konami was never going to let them make a game set in the Netflix timeline but Ellis already polluted perception of canon events in the game. This was the most likely bad outcome.On the plus side, Isaac is White again.
I want Carmilla to be an actual lesbian rather than another heckin science man Dracula. It's daft
>>749583156>>no save room before the bossBut there is.
>>749591613>Not going to watch it but anything is a step up from>instead of making any coherent argument, just imply the original version is the worst>giant homos still using this type of argumentPeople used this argument defend new Isaac. Until CoD makes all future releases of CV3 a quarter of its original length and replaced it with unskippable pseud Dracula apologia and Islamic asskissing, White Isaac isn't worse than Black Isaac.
>>749592157>Everyone is gay except her.Is Carmilla supposed to represent the women that Ellis abused?
>>749586058Eh, I think there is a place for it depending on how the game does platforming, mobility and combat.
>>749580716>voiced by Ishikawamuh dick
I just started Lament of Innocence and I'm having far more fun with this than I was with the demo of Belmont's Curse. Even with the PS2 3D it looks great thanks to the art direction and texture work, and the soundtrack is fantastic. There are a couple awkward things like you getting more height from a moving double jump causing you to somersault rather than being stationary not lifting you as high or the subweapon auto-targeting hitting lamps rather than enemies but beyond that, the combat isn't even bad, rather it makes you pay attention to enemy positioning and avoid getting yourself surrounded.
>>749575647Magna is insanely good, and anyone letting themselves get filtered by Barnita the Purple Dinosaur are missing out on the best Castlemania in years
>>749595723Some of the character models are pretty bad looking, but in general the game looks alright if not standout. The combat is fine. The level design is inexcusably repetitive, however. It's so mind-numbing I found myself consulting the map just to figure out where the fuck I was despite its overall linearity. It's not a good game.
game is only 22 bux on green man gaming btw
>>749595810This. Anons should get over themselves and support and play games fromdevs that actually respect the series they like instead of seething about French tranny hackdevsThe protag is a dragoness the devs wants to fuck so what, all Kojima designed CV protagonists are female coomer designs>>749575647For me, it’s the continuous roll that you can do if you hold your slide while on stairs. Feels so good
>>749567036Even the dude playing it says that is a mid game, kek.
>>749596125Hello shill
>>749595970I already see what you mean with the level design, unfortunately. Just the same few rooms copy pasted ad infinitum.
Eh, game is alright, with music being the only disappointing part for me. It plays fine, it's fun for what it is and it's a better 2D Castlevania than Mirror of Fate was, so I'll take it. Anyone who will go into expecting Symphony of the Night remix number 8 will be disappointed since it's clearly a different approach.
>>749597306Mirror of fate is probably the worst metroidvania ever made(maybe some indie ones are worse, but I haven't played them) if it even counts as one, that isn't hard
Reviews are up, it seems to be getting around the 8 mark and most agree the game is good but there's annoyances that doesn't exist in the classic ones.
>>749595723this games runbacks are horrible, also dont know how you can hate on BC but glaze this game when the combat is basically in the same vein of doing a string dodging doing a string only difference is that it's 3d
I'm not a hardcore castlevania fan so I guess I'm going to have a BLAST™ with this one
god damn I hate her voice actingis japanese any better?
the embargo was lifted, most reviews are>it's an amazing metroidvania, but not a castlevania game>the soundtrack is boring btw>80/100!!!
>>749599467Any reviews saying how long and difficult it is
>>749599467The IGN review doesn't even mention sound lmaoIs this what shills do when they're not allowed to be too critical?
>>749596897It doesn't get better, either. They were clearly trying to leverage a limited budget, and that took a different priority in the early 2000s, but it's still an embarrassing effort. That Igarashi and co. had the gall to follow it with the similarly dull Curse of Darkness is just unforgivable. Igarashi's stewardship was mediocre at best, as Konami in general was through the 2000s.
So was the story leak from the anon right
>>749599789Right but with exaggeration as most green text would be. All the details are correct. The problem is the way anon retold it angrily. But you should know how it is by now
>>749599853>>749599789Yeah it's disappointingly right. Leon still gets shit on for no reason.
>>74959953114-20 HOURS FOR 100%/ALL ENDINGS
>>749599789Rose is cursed with the girlboss curse. Leon really is the fallen. There is a big deal about Rose achieving the 4 Cardinal Virtues to break her curse and achieve enlightenment for the true ending . The Belmonts can finally show humanity the dawn. There are indeed niggers in game making fun of Leon's revenge quest. St Louis judged the entire family as sinful for Leon's deed and that he wouldn't let go until the sun is fixed permanently (killing Dracula permanently). The Ferryman outright laughed at Leon's story and brought it up for Rose. Rose is indeed the one who came up with the plan to permanently kill Dracula by "showing humanity the dawn" meaning Julius, the Japanese etc in 1999 was all just apart of people carrying out her legacy
>>749600027>ALL ENDINGSI assume 3 endings? Good, Bad and True?
>>749599467>>80/100!!!For game journalists this is like a 4/10.
>>749600091Was nuking Japan part of her plan
>>749600091thankfully you can just pretend this gamen isnt canon to the lore
>>749600096Bad: Rose walks into a trap by Death and die True: Trevor died Good: Trevor lives, Belmonts will show humanity the dawn
the music is my biggest problem with itwtf were they thinking or well not thinking
>>749586058Just don't walk into enemies you BLACK NIGGER 10 IQ APE SUBHUMAN
>>749600241how am i supposed to start a fight if i don't bump into another nigga?
>>749566962Unironically.For some reason I've realized that developers have become WAY TOO overreliant on iframe shit.This is somewhat tolerable in 3d games but I don't understand why 2d action platformers lose contact damage.
>>749600307shieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet
>>749600421>This is somewhat tolerable in 3d games but I don't understand why 2d action platformers lose contact damage.cobtact damage is lazy outdated design
>>749599531Some reviews say the platform is sadistic and some enemies read inputs
The more reviews I read the more it feels like reviewers are just being lenient because its the first big Castlevania game we've gotten in ages.Even if it's not an Igavania, the actual RPG/progression systens feel severely linmited. The music is completely forgettable. The exploration is way too linear.The only highlights are basically the bosses and sone platforming challenges and even the bosses aren't the tip top of the genre.
>>749600853wah wah wahgo and buy the furry scalie dragon game
>>749600225I have watched roughly 30 minutes of a real gameplay footage from a mexican dude who got the game early. Anyone stating "music is ok" is just in a damage control mode - it's so grating i had to turn the volume down because it literally hurts my ears. It's just some Suno generated garbage.
>>749600892Yeah I'm saving my money for Bloodstained 2 instead
>>749600897The irony of this post being AI generated
>>749600983You have no idea what an em-dash is — do you?

>>749601035That's not just proving me wrong, it's being in winning mode
>>749600853its a game that would hab flopped if it didnt wear cvs skin
>>749600091Sounds kino
>>749567036>Castlevania has turned into one of those shitty indie metroidvanias that try to copy Castlevaniacomedy
>>749572947Why does the game look like The Path of Pain?
>>749567036>skip to random part>spikes everywhere>skip again>landing 'dust' animation doesn't take slopes into accountJust disable it on an angled floor if you can't be bothered to create a new animation. I'll seen enough and just removed it from my wishlsit.
>>749602705Wow..I just did too thanks to this post. Thank Science for you. Otherwise I would've bought it. But seeing this post made me removed it from my wishlsit.
I'm done with AoS after 2 hours, game is ugly as fuck and the spell system isn't interesting at all why the fuck is this game glazed to heaven
>>749600091Ohohohohohoh, as if western writters werent pretentious enough with Gears of War, now they try to retroactively give all the merits of Dracula's final demise to muh strong gurl
>>749600091This game was really written by a w*man. That cunt deleted her blog about how she spent so much time on writing the story.
As one of the few people who likes LoI despite its flaws, I won't play this game for the way it treats Leon.Joan of Arc too. The writers practically copied from Drifters.
>>749603150me too sir i will not be buying the game
I'm curious about who will be the DLC extra character.
>>749572947>It look this streamer less than 4 hours to reach DraculaTook me less than a minute in SotN...
>>749603150Drifters was actually good though. Mostly because Hirano understands the rule of cool and writes his entire stories in service of it.
Why are all the new metroidvanias so obsessed with jump puzzles?
>>749603687LE WHITE PALACE
I don't see why people complain that much about the OST, some of these theme sounds like Castlevania to me :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWL-Xy16Ydwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2rzCvlsVgEAs for the "modern" themes, I don't find them bad at all : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ9XhHWdG3U
>nobody gave a fuck or even liked Bloodstained on /v/>everyone agreed that it was a soulless copy of Castlevania>new Castlevania game release>people now pretend that Bloodstained is good
>>749566962No, you don't get it, she's a strong independent girlboss who doesn't fear touching monsters unlike the squeamish little boys before her who couldn't even handle that.
>>749603509Kek
>>749603995lmao what people talked about bloodstained a fuckton
>>749603995>>everyone agreed that it was a soulless copy of CastlevaniaNot how I remember it. Bloodstained was always counted as one of the very, very few "from the makers of" that was actually good.
>>749604187Yes I remember when they released the demo and everyone said it was shit.
>>749603995>nobody gave a fuck or even liked BloodstainedWhy are you lying?
>>749566748I always halve screen shakeAnd if it’s still bad I halve it againAnd I’d also rather it off than on
>>749600198but it is canon. sticking your head in the sand does not change that
>>749603995Bloodstained was always good. Anyone that likes castlevania got what they wanted from the series.
>>749603886>some of these sounds like Castlevania to meOn a budget, if you really strain your ear, I guess. Prior anon had it right - shit really sounds like someone fed a "castlevania music" prompt into a basic-bitch AI gen like suno.>as for the "modern" themesCatacombs ain't a bad song objectively, I agree. But the "twangyness" of the instrument, the heaviness in the middle with the bam-bam-CRASH-bam-bam-CRASH, etc, just makes it sound like it belongs in a different game. Not to mention the pacing and tonal shifts are fucking weird for a CV.
>>749604334Castlevania Legends was for a time too.What is canon can quickly become not-so for a myriad of reasons.
>>749603886useless arguing with retards that hate everything new
>>749603886>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWL-Xy16Ydw>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2rzCvlsVgEBoth of these sound more like fucking Touhou fan song MIDIs than Castlevania music. What a joke.>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZ9XhHWdG3UThis is much better in terms of quality but for Castlevania it's way too ambient, this is like music that was designed to be played in the background while characters have a dramatic conversation, not music designed to be heard.Meanwhile this random fucking sports game has more Castlevania-like music than Belmont's Curse does, they should've gotten this guy instead.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XAzClrKUSQk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXLJLEY1izw
>>749573576>Reviews are sky fucking high>Same sites would shit on Rabi-Ribi even though it has superior gameplay, music, and hot take - visuals.I'm glad Galactic Racer took my money. I'll fuck with racing games any day over slopvania
>>749605162That does sound really CV-inspired, yeah. Does the whole game have music in that vein, or is it just for that character?
Reminder that Belmont's Curse is only one of several Castlevania games Konami has planned for the future, one being the AAA game that was leaked alongside Metal Gear and Silent Hill and another gacha game that left development hell as of 2024.
>>749603687Crazy right.
>>749605587How possible is it that Konami will release a hero shooter Castlevania liveservice game?
>>749575647>Barneymania
>>749605312Oh come on. This is definitely AI gen.I had to listen to it a few times to be sure, but there's a handful of distinct "glitches" where the AI wasn't sure if it was going to shift tone again or not.Source aside, it's fucking awful. Parts of it sound OK, but put together it's an experimental DJ set, like some guy fucking around with the song just to see what they can do with it.
can we get some more posts on how this isn't castlevania by the same 3 autists?
maybe this game tried not to be another metroidvania but a new thing, a castroid
>>749575647>https://store.steampowered.com/app/3704270/Magnavale_Eternal_Soul/For all its flaws, this game looks like a real Castlevania, not Dead Cells 2.
>>749606013I agree. Me and my sisters will buy this game on launch and we all promise that we're going to stop shitting up threads since we got what we asked for.
>>749605942Hemorrhoid seems about right, since it's a small pain in everyone's collective ass.
>>749606013>>749575647>Promoting tranny furry garbageUnironically kill yourself
>>749605563Just for that character I'm afraid. Each character has their own theme of a variety of styles, mainly electronic. It's pretty good overall though, worth a listen.https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9I_aoHbMAvTQNvbF_nHLB8N35oHm0wYD
>>749605587>another AAA game>a gacha game
>>749586151Shinobi Art of Vengeance on hard mode definitively showed that contact damage is dogshit design and a crutch for devs who can't make fun and challenging gameplay otherwise.
>>749567036I'm going to use a wallhack to skip these spikes.
>>749603995>Bloodstained outsold every single individual Castlevania title>Everyone agreed Bloostained was janky and weirder looking but ton of soul>It got a lot of criticism for not surpassing SOTN>After looking at Belmonts Curse people realize they treated Bloodstained too harshly and they want suck on Miriams feet all day
So is this based on the show or it's canon to the main games?
>>749607296Canon to the main games, Isaac is a ginger twinkus and Death is loyal to Dracula.
>>749575647Bro's sprite is just Soma with Spyro's head lmao.
>>749607296Neither, it's its own continuity since it contradicts the others.
>>749607424We won't really know if it's canon or not until a later game references the events of this one in a direct way
So Konami just has no confidence in their ability to develop games anymore? Is that why they keep hiring this man?
Castlevania died the moment they turned Kojima's artstyle into generic animu bullshit for Dawn of Sorrow
>>749607857Only if you're YGO. Suikoden only has a gacha game coming up, both Silent Hill games have been trash and this game is an insult to Castlevania.Meanwhile the remake of Tag Force 3 has a ton of effort put into it.
>>749580032PoP is actually good though
>>749573128>Ray ChaseGod damn, that motherfucker is everywhere.
>>749607957Kojima was too busy working on dogshit games (CoD and LoI) to work on the DS games
>>749607957Hideo Kojima?
>>749608087>>749608217Ayami Kojima
>>749603995I doubt you even played it past the ship.
>>749603995
>>749603995You sure this isn't you projecting your views on everyone else?
>>749608087Call of Duty would be greatly improved if it had a Castlevania themed Zombies map
>>749607857>So Konami just has no confidence in their ability to develop games anymore?They have no capable employees left to work on their old properties. What they're doing is throwing every IP they have to the highest bidder and train some zoomers on some of their most successful IPs like that Metal Gear 3 remake so they can learn how to make more Metal Gear. Besides that, don't expect someone to make something like a Gradius, Castlevania or Contra game in-house.
>>749579081You're a shill and a hypocrite
>>749603995I genuinely cannot understand how anyone who likes SOTN, and the GBA/DS Castlevanias could possibly outright "hate" Bloodstained, especially in this day and age with all the launch issues being long ironed out. Sure, the graphics and presentation is far from perfect (though still much better than it was in the early stages of development), but the gameplay is actually pretty solid, and very true to Igarashi's vision.
>>749609547>>749609340easily the ugliest main character of castlevania, she just looks off even in kojimas art which is an impressive feature
>>749610268I don't hate bloodstained but it was basically 60% of a good game. The last 40% once you're done with the initial castle environments are just plain fucking unfinished and the last levels feel like they were in early alpha.
>>749609547STOP FUCKING DANCING
>>749608217>>749608260It's weird that both Kojimas worked on Castlevania
>>749610347
>>749610347I want her to sit on me
>>749566748This is just dead cells but they have character names that reference Castlevania.It isn't a real CV game.It is just another indie slop.You know what's funny. the AI game dracula 0 is a better made CV game.
>>749610268I like SotN but not the handheld games. I want a Hagihara game, not an Igavania.
>>749574487FUCK the NIGHT
>>749610498There was some articles about Hideo Kojima involvement with Castlevania a few years ago. The gist is that Castlevania was down in a rut. Kojima was going through a 3D obsession phase, wanting to turn everything 3D. And then Lord of Shadow was born
>>749610996A 3D obsession phase... you mean 99% of video-games made in the past 30 years?
>>749610785Dead cells was fast and responsive, this one seems to be way slower and sloppier.
>>749605312>I don't know what people are complaining about this isn't THAT bad>oh>.....OH
>>749610767>>749610616still ugly to me sorry
Castlevania is back baby
>>749605312I've heard way worse. You guys are a bunch of gentleman ladies and will completely 180 your opinions when the next game comes out and start saying BC was a good game in order to hate the new one. Just like you did with Bloodstained, LoI, PoR, CotM, and several other titles. The last people I want to take recommendations on what to play from are "fans" who have this cycle of glazing the previous games to shit on older ones. I can't be the only one who remembers Lament of Innocence or Portrait of Ruin getting called trash several times on release and now that they're not new anymore suddenly everybody always loved them.
>>749572947its only 4 hours long? lol
>>749612000*shit on newer ones
>>749603995>>nobody gave a fuck or even liked Bloodstained on /v/>>everyone agreed that it was a soulless copy of Castlevania>>new Castlevania game release>>people now pretend that Bloodstained is goodbloodstained's artstyle is fucking ugly anyone saying otherwise is a fucking liar
>>749612019>>749572947Thats fucking great!Too many games coming out nowadays I don't want to spend more than 20+ hours playing the same game when I can be playing another.
So from what I hear it's basically a competent non-Rogue-lite Dead Cells masquerading as Castlevania with boring music.
>>749612123i would have liked a 10 hour castlevania, it shouldnt take 4 hours for a first time playthrough imo
Otome dating sim when
>>749612071Castlevania fans have always been disingenuous. I've seen people recently even lighten up on LoS (which I've always said wasn't a bad game), but seeing people flip on games that got shit on for months if not years like CV2 and LoI makes me scratch my head a bit. Bloodstained falls into the same category; it got shit on for all the backer portraits, the visual downgrade compared to the kickstarter concept images, the shard gribd and grind in general, and underwhelming backhalf of the game, but apparently none of that ever happened
>>749613246The LoI revisionism is because people actually played the game and realized it's not that bad, before you just had a loud minority. I never shat on it but I did play it because of BC and I liked it, had my grievances with it but not all games are perfectBut yeah these boomer franchises have the most annoying fandoms and you can never earnestly discuss them
>>749605312You can tell that Konami forced them to put 2 minutes of actual bloody tears in and then they were like we know how to jazz it up. The song turns from like a weird remix to just straight up one of the worst songs ever. This is Mirror of Fate levels of BAD OST
>>749612782>using Chronicles Simon and DXC RichterEww.Even if you wanted to use all Kojima, she actually drew the canon versions too.>>749613246LoS1 is okay, but not a Castlevania substitute that Konami tried to sell it as. MoF is mediocre and LoS2 is complete shit.CV2 hatred is mostly the meme forced by AVGN cattle and repeated by people that never played the game. LoI (and CoD) always were divisive, just like Konami Kobe games (C64, LoD and CoM).
>>749613894> CV2 hatred is mostly the meme forced by AVGN cattle and repeated by people that never played the game.True and falseThe game is still ass dude, don’t pretend otherwise Even with improvement mods it’s just not a great game
>>749566748>That metal chain whipFuck Lords Of Shadow. Vampire Killer was way cooler as a normal black leather whip
>>749614104Is this bait?
>>749574813Damn. Every time I listen an old track and compare it to the new game, I just feel sad. Why didn't they even try to make proper melodic music?
>>749575014Based. Have this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EbNBmnHL6M
>>749614014It's an alright clone of The Goonies II and The Maze of Galious. I honestly prefer this old action-adventure style to IGAvanias.
>ditches every gameplay mechanic from the previous games>turns the game into another Hollow Knight clone with Dead Cells gameplayI swear this fucking game did irreparable damage to Metroidvania as a whole. Now everything needs to be 2D Dark Souls with Path of Pain-style platforming sections, constant dodging and abilities being restricted to a limited number of charms.
>>749614327castlevania gameplay is archaic and ancient , of course it needed at update
>>749614428>castlevania gameplay is archaic and ancientThen why Bloodstained was well received?
>>749610268>especially in this day and age with all the launch issues being long ironed outNot sure when you last played Bloodstained but they added a MANDATORY Epic Games login last year, if you don't have an Epic account the game will crash after a while. Look up recent reviews.
>>749614463bloodstained is a 7 year old game faster games have come out
>>749614859Yeah it's pretty crazy but Bloodstained came out only 2 years after Hollow Knight, and HK didn't blow up until its Switch release, and this is when the whole metroidvania industry changed and started chasing HK, starting with games like Ori 2 mindlessly copying HK's mechanics.
>>749614463Curse of the Moon 1 was just that good...
>>749592276there literally isn't, cunt. its a dark souls boss run each time
>>749614981Hollow Shite ruined the genre. Fuckcing shitty bloatware.
>>749614291Yeah, Zelda 2 is amazingCV2 is hot garbage, I’m glad they came back with 3
>>749615081>bloatwareHow tf is HK bloatware? It removed the levels and gear grind, it's a much more lean design.
It's over
>>749603995I like Bloodstained. Genuinely one of the best metroidvania ever made.
>>749614807I've been playing pretty recently, but haven't had this issue. Does sound pretty bad, though.
>>749615331People don't like friction. A lobotimite could finish any igavania except maybe CotM, and that includes Bloodstained. I've seen so many complaints about BC not letting you be a walking bulldozer for once.
>>749615451This game was a huge downgrade from PoR and had butt ugly backgrounds. Reel in the glazing.
>>749603995four meme arrows and none of them are correct, impressive
>>749603995The solitary complaint that was genuinely consistent throughout all the years I've seen the series discussed, from when it released to now, is that's it's fucking ugly. But I know of no pervasive "this game sucks" sentiment.For the record, I haven't played Bloodstained myself (well, just CotM because I'm a sucker for classicvanias).You're full of and I know it because I was there back then, and you're a weasly little whataboutism liar.
>>749616070Where is this cope that BC is a hardcore game coming from? The Fallen is an easy boss for babies.
>>749615331The game is too fucking long for what it is. It's a selfish glutton of a hog that thinks it deserves to have such a huge map when it doesnt.
>>749616431There are no pacing issues in Hollow Knight.
>>749567036I actually think it looks pretty good. But the things that stand out to me from this gameplay is how fucking dark it is. I don't like how everythings in shadows and your light source seems to be energy radiating from the Belmont. That looks cheap as shit and the music is kind of grating and repetitive.
Not outsourcing even one of their video game series to a random western developer would cause them to explodeThey would rather commit seppuku then putting their own hands on their own video game seriesThey are like a rich perent who turned their own children into prostitue slaves
The screenshake seems so fucking obnoxious, but the game doesn't look bad. It looks a whole hell of a lot better than bloodstained at least, which I enjoyed.
>>749609235>>749609340>>749609547>>749610616>>749610767I'm mad that Bloodstained 2 doesn't feature Miriam.
the shills are starting to get uppity
>dogshit music>shits up the story>not even an igavaniaWHATS THE FUCKING POINT?????
>>749566962I was befuddled how I wasn’t taking any contact damage from the boss, still took me a couple tries to beat him.
>>749616431Ah yes, compared to IGAvanias and their color swapped biomes. Even Bloodstained had like 3 alchemy laboratories and 4 cave reskins (water, fire, ice, sand). And the previous games were much more egregious. SOTN literally copypasted the whole map once, as did Harmony of Dissonance, Portrait of Ruin had a "b-side" of each portrait. Order of Ecclesia had palette swaps of its Classicvania levels.In Hollow Knight every single biome is unique with no recycled assets.
>>749617113money
>>749600569>outdatedyou're retarded
>>749616958I wouldn't mind seeing her again, but I think the changing cast of Castlevania has always been a strength.
With all this talk of music, let's settle this once and for all. Which one is the absolute definitive, most iconic track of the franchise?Personally:>Vampire Killer>The objective answer. It’s literally THE track from CV1 and sets the tone for the entire series.> Bloody TearsA.k.a. the safe choice. Everyone loves it, it's a banger, but it's almost too mainstream at this point.>Beginning: My personal fave. It's an absolute pumping track that blows the other two out of the water in terms of energy.How do YOU rank them?
>>749616604I suspect they don't have full internal dev teams that are capable of making new non-mobile tier or sports games anymore. Even Rev Noir, a game that is specifically made for training new employees is being produced in collaboration with ILCA. Dunno about Rhapsody In Scarlet.At least their premium series like Yu-Gi-Oh are outsourced to the fellow Japanese companies.

>>749618009nope, and you get a slide that passes through them on top of that, no reason to engage with any enemy ever
>>749599789>from the anonyou mean from the game files, dumbass? yes it was real
>>749617758Simon's theme is good for having a bit of a darker flair while still having a heroic feel to it. Great way to start and end the journey.
>>749605141is it as pointless as arguing with retards who love everything new?
If this wasnt a castlevania would they even rate it that high
>>749607957Castlevania already had anime designs (or something close to it) since the very first game in the manual.>>749607296Depends on the canon i guess.It's not canon to neither the og trilogy's canon (the one made by the original devs) nor IGA's canon.Time will tell if it will be to modern Konami's canon.
>>749591386The writing staff is entirely western.
>>749591613kys
>>749601460It's really really fucking funny to me
>>749607957Castlevania died when IGA hijacked it, but Rondo of Blood still was a decent game.
>>749613246bloodstained's 3d artstyle is ugly, its 3d platforms are ugly it all should be 2d, the 2d concept art looks so good compared to it
>>749617835>retarded nigger thinks youtubers matter>retarded nigger who didn't play the game posts reviews from before the hard mode came outLmao indeed.
Apologise.
Why do Frenchies hate Jeanne D'Arc?
>>749620036I liked it from the start. It was a nice bonus and I hope they can remake another game soon.
>>749616431First Hollow Knight seems like a tight experience now in comparison to Silksong.There is no point for extra 10+ biomes to exist if previous ones haven't been completely utilized.
>>749620074Imagine if you were dabbed on by what should be a retard. You kill them and people still bring up how she a retard made you a clown.
>>749620236Silksong would have been great if it ended with Act 2. Act 3 was such an unbelievably pacing killer it's unreal.
>>749619862>d-doesn't countlmao the raped keeps on crying

>>749612000Lament is still trash.
>>749620695how is this new metrodi? maybe samus returns but not dread
I was actually there on /v/ when Bloodstained first release. People really like it but there would always be one false flagging Hollow Knight nigger trying to ruin any and all discussion. People were mostly talking about sexo and op shards (which Iga decided to nerf. It's bullshit nerfing stuff for a single player game). The latter discussion became worse after all the fans have played and left. And now retards will pretend /v/ has always hated Bloodstained. The shilling tactic for Belmont's Curse is extremely weird because I have seen niggers pretending SoTN, CV3, CV4 have always been bad and hated because they were "different" to justify why BC is a misunderstood masterpiece.
>>749620839And what isn't true? People always hated Bloodstained because it was easy, and they worshipped Hollow Knight because it was easy to die in, it was like Dark Souls and all about git gud.
>>749620652Even if you want to pretend those reviews aren't worthless, they were literally made before the difficulty mode I specifically mentioned came out. Why are thirdies so stupid?
>>749613894>>749614291>CV2 hatred is mostly the meme forced by AVGN cattleEven on its own terms with a better translation it's a weak game. Faxanadu and Zelda II exist as better examples of what Simon's Quest tries and fails at. I agree it's a more interesting framework than SotN's, but that doesn't make the game itself less of a snoozefest.
>>749620839I have no idea why faggots on /v/ hated Bloodstained. It's was incredibly more fun than any other metroidvania I played or tried
>>749620036For what? It's a decent freebie that M2 probably cobbled together for fun, but it's nothing special.
>>749620797I assume he means current metroidvania design.
>>749621067You have to be there to see it. Because a new metroidvania was coming out, uppity Hollow niggers would come into every threads for a supposed turf war and diss everything. Eventually with Silksong success, people would pretend old school metroidvania style doesn't exist and it has always been Hollow Knight
>>749620702>Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons Of Liberty>Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater>Silent Hill 2>Silent Hill 3>Zone Of The Enders>Zone Of The Enders The Second Runner>Castlevania Aria Of Sorrow>Castlevania Down Of Sorrow>Castlevania Portrait Of Ruin>Castlevania Order Of Ecclesia>Suikoden III>Suikoden IV>Suikoden V>Shadow of Memories>Rumble RosesKonami peaked in the 2000s in my book
Finished AoS and wow this game was really short and straight forward. How is this a fan favorite? All the weapons were really boring to use too, loved SotN but this game felt like a cheap copy.I'm actually baffled people put this game up there with SotN
>>749620685>trusting game urinalistslmao, never forget that this is who's reviewing your gameshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOjXaAZHEQE
>Reviewer said game is 15 hours for full 100% true ending How much is that in gaymer time?
>>749614981>HK didn't blow up until its Switch releasebaffling false statement
>>749621046Translation doesn't really matter.I don't think Faxanadu and Zelda II are a good comparison as they try to be more complex with their systems and all (and honestly I don't think that Zelda II succeeds at that). Monster World series on other hand is closer to what CVII attempted.
>>749622102Either way, CVII is pants, and smug limp-wristed invocation of Youtubers will not make it less so. It's shit, has always been shit.
>>749621564You're helping my point, honestly.
>>749566748It looks like a fun metroidvania, but it does not feel like Castlevania at all. Its missing something that i cant really define, but its not there.Also whoever composed the OST should never be allowed anywhere near close Castlevania ever again

>>749622534He's helping your point by... listing ton of amazing 2000s Konami video games that are way better in every single way then anything they put out in the 90s?
>>749623659>amazing 2000s Konami video games that are way better in every single way then anything they put out in the 90s?That only applies to SH2. The handheldvanias suck and you're retarded if you think Suikoden didn't peak with 2.
>>749621616All Castlevania games have flaws if you start thinking critically. AoS is the best on the GBA, but not as good as the DS ones imo. All 3 DS ones also have flaws.
>>749623659>we will never get amazing, artistic, medium defining, one of a million game like MGS3 ever again6th generation was a lightning in a bottlehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWQBOsKHqpM
>>749623659It has nothing to do with the quality of games (other than Rumble Roses, maybe), but Konami's overall output. MGS2 and MGS3 are two of my favorite games period, as is Ghost Babel. But that list consists of a few teams producing a few series, and other than Kojima's team and Team Silent none of them were earth-shattering industry-movers. I like the GBA and DS Castlevania games (hence why I'm in this thread), but they were cheap asset recyclers at their core. You could do far worse than 00s Konami obviously (even Contra managed to get Shattered Soldier early on), but the writing was on the wall well before the 2010 E3 debacle. Their decline didn't come out of nowhere. You're just kinda stupid.
>>749624152But I'm not even nitpicking it, it's just way too short it's 4 hours since you can't even get lost except for the fact that you need 3 specific spells to defeat the "final" boss and that waterfall door gimmick.I actually feel like an alien seeing people put AoS as their favorite game, it's such a shitty copy of SotN that they even tried doing the inverted castle thing but obviously way shorter and more straight forward. I better not see any complaints if BC is short and simple because lmao
>>749606545Shut the fuck up bringing that piece of shit game up.
>>749624709Post a hard mode clear to prove that you've actually played it. It has the best combat in any 2D action game and it's not even close. No, having played the tutorial level on normal does not mean you've beaten the game.
Just played the demo, it’s ok? Nothing crazy, not awful the movement feels kind of floaty and weird like swinging on the whip into a wall slide it feels like you just run into the wall for a second in an animation before actually grabbing it.
>>749625034Post a Shinobi III clear, you stupid bitch. I don't care. This game sucks.
>>749624593>Insulting another human being because he doesn't agree with you90s Konami fans everyone
>>749621067>faggots on /v/-SOME- faggots on /v/. The overall sentiment still was largely positive.>old thing bad so you can't complain about new thing nowThis is a common shiteating slopperist consumist tactic. See literally every new Marvel release.
>>749625078I played Shinobi III 30 years ago. You didn't. I also played AoV. You didn't. Retards who argue about new games they haven't played by bringing up old games they haven't actually played are subhumans polluting this board.
>>749625312Oh would you fucking look at that, no evidence whatsoever! Wow! So he has to resort to this pedantic bullshit of self accusations to pretend that fucking shit game is worth glazing! Cause he's a faggot hiding behind a bad game!
>>749566748Nothing about it looks like castlevania to me. It’s exactly like the mercurysteam games. Everything about it looks, sounds, and feels like a random UEslop indie game got a hold of the license for the actual franchise. Absolutely none of the artistic vision or general competence of the original developers has carried over with the name. The best you can hope for is “it’s a good game but not a good Metroid”
>>749603509Heh
>>749624625I like Aria of Sorrow but I'm with you. The usual defense of the game over SotN is that it's better-balanced and the soul system is more interesting, but both games are piss easy and AoS can be broken in half without much effort. Insofar as the games are at their best with exploration SotN is a lot more fulfilling.
I don't get it, what is a REVJEW?
>>749614807>it's realgood thing I didn't updateif Scarlet Engagement ends up EGS exclusive I'll just have to pirate I guess
>>749625078>Shinobi III clearShinobi III's normal (and hard, for that matter) is easier than AoV's, in my opinion. It doesn't matter really but Shinobi III is probably the easiest of them all. Still one of the best, though.I liked AoV but found it a little disappointing in places, as a huge Shinobi fan. The game tries to do too much and suffers for it.
>>749625638I love the meme in which people overstate the difficulty "issue" with SotN because they have no other grounds to argue for their favorite post-SotN IGAvania being better.
>>749566748>Blasphemous is in promotion>Try it out>Realize that Belmont's Curse is BlasphemousHoly bruh
>>749625443>glazingWhy do you shitskin zoomers insist on pretending to be oldfags who actually played old games to cry about new ones that you also don't play?
>>749625836I mean, the flasks and the dodging are a bit similar I guess? Blasphemous feels a lot smoother to play to me.(either of them)
>>749625802I'm willing to have a fucking discussion but the motherfucker clearly posted rage bait is the thing.>>749625880Oh shut the fuck up already.
>>749614807Any chance of a GoG release without that nonsense?
This is how teenagers will dress in 2035
>>749625908>rage baitNo, you stupid shitskin child. Telling you to stop arguing about games you haven't played is not rage bait.
>>749626051Cute girl
>>749610268it looks like shit
>>749626051So 70's fashion will make another comeback.
>>749626012There's already a GOG release that works.
>>749626929I meant for the next one.
