Played it for like 3 hours, I really tried to enjoy it, but its so fucking souless its not even funnyNips really made a huge fucking mistake leaving this legacy to some le hecking basedmensadsad even
>>749843765Why are they deleting Castlevania threads?
just play the magnavale demo and enjoy dragon titties and stand battles
>>749843913The game is flopping

games alright im 3 hours in just beat the prohpetess. do rose and the mosnter hook up or what
>>749844457uh oh shill mad this is most likely the faggot that got the mods to delete the other threads
>>749845338No, or at least not in the game.
Dracula's Castle is so much better than Paris that it isn't even funny. Even some of the music is starting to grow on me. Why would they kneecap themselves by making this part of the game so long?
What's so shit about it?
>>749845080stop being so insecure about your "masculinity" lol
>>749843765performative hate
the backgrounds are so repulsive with a lot of them being: fuck up the gamma values to increase brightness for dull greyness and then crank up saturation
>>749843935No. Aria of Sorrow is still perfectly playable. It doesn't need a reskin. There are real games worth the attention.
>>749846120what the fuck does that even mean? must be something wrong with your monitor
>>749846091>shit game gets made>gets roasted >DUUUURRRRR PERFORMATIVE WEW
>>749846207Nah, they're right. The color pallete looks like care bear puke.
>>749843935>dragon titties>just anthro shitsigh
>>749845949They wanted to build up to the castle and kinda have a "tutorial" area before you go into the castle. In a way I like that it shows Rose going from a rookie to a actual Belmont but Paris really does lack any of the charm of the castle.
>>749846309Making it 4-5 hours was such a silly decision.

Here’s a design doc containing the Belmont family tree.Notice there wasn’t a Rose Belmont born to Trevor and Sypha. That’s because Rose isn’t canon.

So, is the whirlwind thing on the map meaningful in any way or is it just "hey, we're going to add 'not chaotic realm' and have a proper final boss for the 100% in a patch"?

I wasn't that impressed playing the demo. If I get it, it'll need to be on a 50% or higher sale.
Should I play Bloodstained instead of this
>>749847127do you want more igavania? yesdo you want more hollow knight style stuff? no.that's the crux of this; it's modern metroidvania platformer action games with a castlevania skin that tries to entrench its whole fist down to the shoulder in the series lore, but if you're wanting what you're familiar with, this is nothing like any of the past games. if you're not a fan of RPG and gear style stuff, then maybe it's more up your alley, i dunno you.
>>749846804>”there’s a new Bloodstained coming if you want that sort of thing”Uh oh, I’m guessing this means western gaming journalists have already decided to shit on Scarlet Engagement en masse.
>>749843913>mods are wasting deltarune deletion effort on castleshitter threadsgrim. more deltarune threads will pop up because anons can't resist being shitposters.
>>749846389>lousy Netflix inspired art direction>quirk chungus bosses>occasionally runs like shit on my mid tier PCThese are straight up garbage excuses>jump puzzles often make exploration tedious or frustratingUnironically git gud, the game does more than enough to have one-way doors you can open after passing, to not have to do platforming puzzles a million times
In my opinion the composer should be black listed and never work in the industry again. There are games where you can "do your own thing" when it comes to music Castlevania is not fucking that. I dunno if he didn't do his research or decided to compose a hate letter to fans but this shit is inexcusable.
>Igafags mad that series is back to action / platform instead of some RPG>they get filtered by some basic platform sequence because they never played the original games
I'm loving the game. It feels great to not have been poisoned to hate good games.
>>749846804what I got from this is "it sucks for a Castlevania game"Truly sad.
>>749847272>>749847306Why bother getting good at a terrible game? The game stinks, get over it.
>>749847353Would you go so far as to say you’re having a blast?
>>749847402that might be you buddy, time to take a shower
>>749847402You think it's bad because you're bad at it. Which is crazy because it's not hard.
>>749847405no, but your mom had a blast of my cum on her face
castlevania or silksong?
>>749847402>getting goodThere is no need to getting good if you played any platform action game before. You know like the Castlevania titles.

>>749847616I know, that's why it triggered the euro shills who have no fucking idea how to make a proper action game. Just more eurojank dogshit. >>749847539>>749847432>>749847427Assmad eurotrash.

Looks like the konami shills have arrived
Are there any minorities in this game?
>>749847789>I'll show them, I'm going to play bad games!Peak retardation.
>>749847827yeah there's white people
just beat Medusa. It feels weird, its fast and jumpy and grapply everyone takes too many hits to kill. I mean, I enjoy it, but it feels like too much of a departure. And its too saturated, the models blend into the backgrounds.Still better than Bloodstained though
>>749847827Joan of Arc is in the game
The boss choices are trash like Bloodstained/ And what the fuck is Brauner doing there?
>How I'll sleep knowing this digital diarrhea got flushed.
Belmont's Curse is to the Castlevania series what Fallout 4 and Bioshock Infinite are to their respective franchise, an okay game on its own, but because it bears the name of a popular series of games, it's a subpar entry when you compare it to its predecessors since people had high expectations attached to the name
>dev claim they want to keep the character hot to breed more fanart>safe horny, hades inspired, helluvaboss gender neutral ass characteryou know Sepia is right there if you want a hot belmont.

>>749848259I don't need desperate virgins running around my neighborhood
>>749847845I honestly think it might improve beyond what the demo shows based on what I’ve seen.
>>749848119The Belmont bloodline must go on.
>>749843765Just play the team ladybug games
>>749848119I'm glad Konami doesn't pander to people like you
>>749848387More like they don’t want the babarian touching their Japan culture stuff.A barbarian art for a barbarian culture.
>>749848315Trying to hog all the sexy dogshit for yourself, huh? That’s okay. I’ll just stay home and continue masturbating to Sepia statuettes
>>749848478japan would be still in the middle ages without the west
Exploring the castle is surprisingly fun.
>>749843765>Played it for like 3 hoursDid you even make it past the prologue? The game is rad and plays real well.
>>749848560That's the game's biggest flaw. Everything before the catacombs is stretched out way too long for this type of game
>>749848530I don’t remember that west have most of their neighbours name either kuumar, visnu or hassan.That west is gone now
>>749848652so is japan
>>749848387they do, where do you think that character came from? retard
>>749848652India has always been the west, chud. Where do you think the heroes go in Journey To The West, the most influential piece of eastern literature ever produced? India.
>>749848387Well that's a Belmont, so they kind of do
>>749848591Having a more linear act 1 isn't all too bad. Even if the game is massively more interesting after it. The first act feels a bit more classic. Or at least a bit more like Ecclesia or Rondo.
>>749843765
>frequent meatboy/celeste platforming sections in belmont's curse are rightfully being called out as not castlevania>certain people try to claim that the series always did platforming like this and you're a larper for suggesting otherwise>none of their examples are meatboy/celeste in style, some of which aren't even remotely platforming challenges, just rooms that have spikes in them.The fact I've seen this both in /v/ and on other sites is crazy to me. I don't even think the game is as bad as some people are saying. I can forgive some aspects about it, even if I don't fully agree with some of the direction. But the meatboy/celeste platforming is just not it I'm afraid.
>>749848942>>749848832And they clearly learned from their mistake.
>>749849063they didn't, theyre actively still making characters like that because it sellsretard
>>749843913What does Castlevania have to do with GTA6?
>>749849095Not canon. Just because they sell meth to junkies doesn't mean that they smoke it champ. You'll never see this in a real castlevania game.
>>749849253not relevant to the argument which was "they don't do this"they do, so I accept your concession
>>749848998Idk the moment i saw the art and it remind me of netflivania, it’s will be instant no play for me.
>>749849278Still not canon
>>749847567okay, lihiter
>>749849623its canon to the COMPANY who is making the PRODUCT and continues to make characters that look like that, so again thank you for your concession
>>749849683Still not canon.
>>749845338What are the dangers of hyping up mid?
>>749849737keep coping gayboy
>>749843913AGP victims are freaking the fuck out that yet another girlboss troontown game has utterly failed, further proving that the AGP fad is completely dead.
>>749847250Maybe they thought it was a deltarune thread with a character like this
>>749849887>>749850001>culture warriors with no self-awareness thinking it's the shill boogeyman getting their dogshit threads deletedYou hate to see it. Sorry this wasn't another Wolverine for you guys.
I'm almost done, just cleaning up side stuff before fighting big D. Game sucks ass.I'd probably put it in the same tier as harmony of dissonance at best. I kept hoping the music would get better but the track at the very beginning and the hall of mirrors one are the least offensive tracks, mostly because they don't make my ears bleed on repeat like the abysmal. Bloodlines remix constantly blaring in the main hall of the castle. Hall of mirrors was the only zone I kinda liked and every other zone is basically the same fight room>spike platforming>fight room>spike platforming with nothing interesting going on. It turns out if you turn every fucking area into Clock Tower, there's no novelty to it.I think the second most offensive thing after the ost is the combat, which has such poor visibility and feedback that you can't really tell what's going on in some particularly dense rooms. I think the omnidirectional parry was a haphazard bandaid over the poor combat to just let the player figure it out with long invincibility windows. Even in the less cluttered boss fights there are often weird choices aesthetically (yellow projectiles on a yellow background fired by a yellow enemy etc) that should have been noticed and made easier to see. The bosses themselves have all been completely trivial though so maybe the visual confusion is how these devs think difficulty works. I'm just tired bros...hopefully bloodstained 2 is good.
>>749847865Kek
>>749847969Post the clip.
>>749850151>maybe the visual confusion is how these devs think difficulty worksliterally dead cells so yes
Just best the fifth boss. I'd still say it's not really a castlevania, but it's a great game. The environments look very nice, music is pleasant, and gameplay very smooth. It's also a good deal harder than a typical igavania since enemies actually are aggressive and will swarm you instead of just walk around in standard patterns and throw out generic attacks. Also I think I know how the story will play out already, but it does explain why Rose is such an abrasive cunt lolPlatforming spike sections still suck though. Definitely don't need that in a castlevania game.
>>749848591You didn't play OoE. Half the game is filler until you get to the castle then it just ends like an hour later kek
>>749850151>Bloodlines remix constantly blaring in the main hall of the castleBloody tears remix, not Bloodlinesthankfully it remains untainted by this shitty ""composer""
>>749850151Hyperbolic. both the clock tower and library themes slap. I like the game. I don't know what else to say
>Go up to giant clock tower with green glow>"Don't go here Rose, it is a trap">okay guess I'll ignore it and keep going>Get locked into Dracula boss fight and bad endingKek typical Igavania cryptic bullshit.
>>749850347I played OoE and didn't like it for the same reasons. The gutted castle didn't save that game. This castle is unironically better than OoE's castle.
>>749843765I can't get into this game, it's so ugly. Never mind the dubstep music; just awful
>>749850491Literally got that ending 10 minutes ago kek. I didn't think I would get trapped in
>>749850465You could say you have shit taste in music. If I ever play the game again after I'm done, it will be muted with an actual ost playing in the background.
>>749850537OoE's castle being small definitely disappointed me. I was hoping it would be as big as previous games, although I guess that was too much to ask for.But honestly I didn't have a problem with the rest of the game. It felt like classicvania and played into the themes of the game where you have to go on an adventure to become worthy to fight Dracula.
>Dead Cells devs get to make an actual Castlevania game after the collab is well received>backload all the parts that actually feel like you're playing Castlevania and don't carry the earlier parts with the soundtrack because for some reason they thought it was a good idea to deviate from the one thing they got spot on in their Dead Cells DLC It's a fun game but it's never going to be able to shake off the criticism for the OST
>>749850625Nah, but the beautiful thing is that music is subjective. Yamane sounds leagues better, but I'm enjoying the overall ost more than I expected and that's with an initial bis against the early themes
>>749843765it's crazy that only iga's team has made good castlevanias
>>749850630I wouldn't be surprised if OoE inspired several decisions between the catacomb gate, clock tower, and likely other stuff I haven't encountered yet. This game borrows elements from a lot of different games in the series. I even felt some Circle of the Moon with some room arrangements.
>>749850558the hades style has been so overdone idk how to describe this but everyone's so obsessed with making their games look like thisguacamelee had this thing too where the levels would be like one or two colors max cause it's thematic i guess it just looks lazy like im browsing an artstation galleryson of sparta is another game that comes to mind
>>749850695>music is subjective so many people are complaining about the OST that at some point it does not become subjective at all. get real dumbass
>>749851017Google "Argumentum ad populum". No need to be so vitriolic, buddy.
>>749843765this shit looks WOKE and DEI
>>749851120>Got so BTFO that he got no actual retort you are fake and gay.
>>749851017Anyone who wasn't Yamane would have gotten bashed for whatever ost they put out. Get real
>>749851213Your statement begins and ends with a logical fallacy. No retort is needed. You have room temp IQ.
>>749851017argument by consensus is foid behavior
>>749851246If they at least tried to be like yamane (who retired btw), people would give it the benefit of the doubt and say "hey they did their best". instead they used the same guy that did their previous prince of persia game and they suck ass. if you really like the OST, you would be posting youtube links but you wouldn't because you know if you posted some tracks from this kusoge people would mock you
>>749851407foids are trying their hardest to defend this game and call everyone who doesn't like the character designs an incel. besides i listened to the ost and it fucking sucked, when you have so many people complain about it it does not become subjective at all. no faggot is gonna be like "man, older castlevania music sucked ass" and we pretend that it's subjective and all up to taste, we would call him a faggot with shit taste
>>749851120u know it's over when people start getting philosophical over someone not liking video games
>>749851513I know that you believe yourself, but that doesn't make your beliefs true. And when did character design come into the discussion? You and your butt buddies are more than welcome to call the ost trash--I just happen to disagree; that doesn't need convincing despite your efforts.
>>749851574HE'S trying to convince ME to agree with him; not the other way around. And how is a logical fallacy "philosophical?" You're retarded too.
>>749851686i'm not trying to make you agree, faggot, i'm saying that you are wrong
>>749851513>southeast asians want to be white men so badly but they really have the most in common with white women ironic
>>749851640what makes you disagree? post examples and say why the OST doesn't suck>>749851771the biggest defense for this game right now is calling anyone who doesn't agree with it a SEAnigger or brown, which is funny because right now on xitter so many of these people are the ones who defend it the hardest lol
>>749851830So you can call it shit anyways? That's a waste of time. I already mentioned the Clock Tower and the library in my initial post>>749851760Whatever you say, buddy
>>749851893see, you don't even believe yourself that the OST is good. you are too much of a pussy to even defend your arguments lmao
All the shills doing is trying to drag everyone to their level so they feel better about buying a generic metroidvania. Nice shilling, surely that will convince the original games fans.
>>749851925I don't need to defend an opinion on music. You are a dumbass with a high school education. You are genuinely not worth the time or effort. I mentioned two in my initial post; I'm sorry if that is not good enough for you. You dumb fuck.
>>749852027I don't think they realize Castlevania being niche also would make people have standards about said niche. It didn't help that demo sucked ass, the story beats were awful and the music is largely shit. So many things are against this game it's not even funny, it would never be accepted here and will always be divisive.
>>749847635>>749847749Does it get better then? I just beat medusa and went into the catacombs after unlocking the door. Its been linear as hell so far.
>>749853354It gets better after the catacombs
If I get the bad ending do I have to start from the beginning to get the good ending?
>>749847265>git gudIf I wanted to git gud at platforming, I'd play a platformer not a vania. Vanias are about solving exploration puzzles and navigating a maze
>>749850639Evil Empire are not the Dead Cells devs.
>>749853961no you just respawn
after going through hollow knight I"ve pretty much had my fill of competent metroidvania gameplay for awhile. I'm sure this plays quite well but with no stylistic novelty that strikes me I have no reason to bother.
It's okay but it's no lost crown. Also, fuck this game for giving the cryptic clue of KNEEL. I did. It didn't do shit I was supposed to do it for ten seconds I guess my bad. Thank you for letting me back track the hard way because I didn't know how to access the hall of mirrors.
>>749851686uhhhh
About to head to dracula's castle. So far, I'm not feeling it... Does ti get good?
>>749843765Why is she blonde and with long hair in this art? Looks like a completely different character compared to the in-game Hades-like art style. Still kinda ugly
>>749848387Bombergirls is literally the game that made them consider comiong back to gaming.
>>749845949Map too big, character too tiny
>>749843765How does it compare to Mirror of Fate?
>>749843913>make 20 threads shitting on it with the same images and discussions>why are mods deleting itAt first I thought doomers were just doing it for easy attention but you're actually mentally ill and think you're fighting a war
>>749847749Kys in the most painful way possible please, thank you.
>>749856053>Beloved IP on /v/ is tarnished with >People shit on the game hard and make threads about itWhat the fuck did you expect? At least Castlevaniafags now know the pain of silent hill fags
>>749850695>music is subjectiveThere are entire studies on the music. There are entire styles to art.Baroque, Gothic was the style of Castlevania before. For music they actually used a lot of styles and plenty of mashups, but never EDM and Hip Hop and generic atmospheric sounds.
This game kinda reminds me of Mirror of Fate for some reason, did that game even get shat on this much? I only remember no one played it so there's barely any discussion on it.
>that belmont castlethese niggas are RICH
I rest easy know I will always have plenty of Metroidvanias to last me 2 lifetimes. I can't even get mad about this game being mid.
>>749859515Yes keep posting the same thing so we know you aren't mad
>>749843765Saw a good summary on why the art style looks so unappealing. Tumblr style is something you know when you see it but I couldn't really pin point exactly why.
>>749859808"Try-hard" aesthetic? What retard wrote this.
>>749846202What if I played it a million times to the point of boredom but still want something similar? This immediate dismissal of clone games always comes off as so retarded to me.>inb4 similar = literally the exact sameIt's not.
>>749859808It's the western animation, specifically modern western-anime style, it's easy as fucking hell to place because every shitty modern """"adult"""" cartoon uses it. Geta. Brain.
>>749859808I think this is kind of onto something. The style looks like someone who just draws whatever video game or anime got popular in the past three months on Twitter
>>749843913Because you keep labeling them as generals retards
Meh. It looks okay but I'm holding off for Bloodstained 2. That looks way more Castlevania-y than this.
>>749859808>completely dead thread right until someone posts a twitter postAmazing website
>>749859808He's basically saying that it's an artstyle designed to appeal to the largest audience possible but only within western standards.It doesn't work because even it tries to mimic anime influence, it still looks like shit.tumblr style is still the best way to call that kind of art.
Who is this guy? Also I'm so lost in these mirror rooms it's crazy. Last blue ghost hint was pointing downwards and I kept going down but I didn't find anything
>>749860073>tumblr styleYes but how would you define that?>inb4 shitI'm asking for details here, obviously it's unappealing but why is it so?
Why do the enemies decide to randomly flail around when you are in the middle of attacking them like if this was Dark Souls and you could circle around them? It's a fucking 2D game.
>>749860275>designed to appeal to the largest audience possible but only within western standardsAnd it's impossible, you cannot make a design that appeal to both someone who want things that are diametrically opposite.The attempt to integrate some anime/japanese art style into it doesn't work either, it just make the end result uncanny and it's kind of what the tumblr style is infamius for: taking attractive design (often of japanese origin but not always) and make them "diverse" beyond recognition.The end result is something that offend no one (by western journo standards) but also appeal to no one when they're not outright repulsive for the common man.
This game is for people that love Castlevania for its exploration and hidden things
>>749860803Or for people who like ugly tumblr horny art styles like Hades.

>>749861203Both look like trannies
I think the gameplay got a little better after reaching the castle but goddamn the music in this game genuinely pisses me off. I just reached the library and holy shit this track is trash.
I'm having a good time with it, It's a little basic perhaps but so many metroidvanias have dumb gimmicks that a back to basics game is nice.
>>749863095library is easily the worst one, it kinda grew on me after 15 hours but i still don't like itworst part is that most songs start great, the classic way, then they make it a lofi hiphop beat
>>749863118>I'm having a good time with it>not having a blastbaka
So is Rose romanian? Does she ever speak it?
r/Castlevania is on full damage control mode because "how dare you expect a Castlevania game to have the same gameplay and atmosphere as the other Castlevania games"
>>749863992I expected this game to be bad but not "60% of the game is precision platforming which has jack shit to do with Castlevania" bad. Even the shills will have a hard time justifying something like that.
>>749863992it is a castlevania gameit is not a pixel art igavania from 20+ years ago nor was it advertised as suchhope this helps!
Total redditor death From the jews who got alucard raped on live television
>>749846487Nah not all of us are like that retard. We do not claim him
>>749846487All of us are like him, we claim him. Fuck off from /v/.
>>749858942The studies on the structure and composition of music cannot and should not be reduced down to "this is shit; don't listen to it. This is great; listen to it." Disgusting way to try to argue your point.
>>749843765It doesn't play like Castlavania, it doesn't look like Castlevania.They had to put those platofrming segments everywhere.Slopvania.
>>749865178He's not doing that, the dude saying "it's subjective" does.
>>749848119>>749848387she is getting a game soon
>>749865178There is so much care and love put into Belmont's Curse that they made so it randomly stutters when entering a new room.Now imagine if that happened to a SotN track, it would sound like shit. It's disposable music Anon.
>>749865435God I hope.
>>749865270The argument starts with "this music is shit!" "I disagree". How is that reductionism? Even Viper has fans.
>>749865552Why not quote the post that say that instead of the post that doesn't say that and explain anon's reasoning then?
>>749865721The same way the initial anon went into in>>749850151?>I kept hoping the music would get better but the track at the very beginning and the hall of mirrors one are the least offensive tracks, mostly because they don't make my ears bleed on repeat like the abysmal. Bloodlines remix constantly blaring in the main hall of the castleNice, in depth review of the music. Shame it falls apart the minute someone says "I liked those themes.">>749850465 Then you all get mad because you realize you can't argue that and how DARE someone not agree with you. Only retards go 100+ posts saying "it's shit; it's not" expecting the other person to agree with you just because you said it.
Why is it that I have way more fun with an Aria of Sorrow randomizer than this shit?
>>749860116Blue mirror ghosts are pointing at a mirror, so you'll need to triangulate and figure out which one you need to kneel in front of. Oh, and if you find a picture of Berhard in a room that has some Medusa heads flying above it, kneel in front of that mirror to get taken to a special room.The last mirror you need to find is a pain in the dick, by the way. You'll know you're on that part when the blue mirror ghosts start looking like they're flickering. I'm pretty sure the clue you get means you need to flip the direction that they're pointing and use that to triangulate. That's the one section of the Hall that I wouldn't be surprised if people look up the solution for.
>>749866283Yeah I'm on the flickering ghosts part now. No way casuals are going to beat this game without a guide
>>749866210Gonna bot this in every thread until some anon jacks you off, huh?
>>749866618>botI'm a real person unlike you subhuman shill
>>749850001the clown makeup certainly makes her hotter
How is this thread still up? What's the point of /vg/ if the mods let generals exist on /v/?
>>749866920Aw touched a nerve, huh? Congratulations for playing Aria?
>>749863992It's honestly funny cause if this game was just a normal indie game nobody would care. It's literally because they slapped the Castlevania name on this trash without putting any effort into actually making it Castlevania is why everyone hates it.
>>749866171So you're just going to ignore the post you first quoted where it says that this is the first CV to ever feature EDM and Hip Hop, which further explain his distate for the music?It's funny that you bitch about people reducing down shit then you do exactly the same thing.
>>749843913Game so mid that it's only redeeming quality is to stir up culture war discussion.
If Simon is descended from her, then who did she marry and settle down with?
>>749843765I don't care if it plays more like Hollow Knight and Silksong more than Symphony of the Night. The thing I do care is that it feels inferior to those games in every aspect of gameplay and design. Even mediocre indie metroidvanias feel more fun.
>>749847469I dont play gay games so not new castlevania.I dont play tranny games so not silksong.
>>749854328Theyre also platformers you absolute fuckin shit for brains. Holy fuck are you stupid.>>749864698Nah you, stupid faggot
All this game did for me was make me want to replay SoTN.
>>749867248he is gay according to netflix
>>749867037You implied that. Your argument requires you to put words into that anon's mouth, so I can't take you seriously. Why are you still trying to convince me to agree with you if not because the mere act of disagreeing pisses you off? I don't give a shit about you agreeing with me, so no one's bitching. I'm just holding my ground on my opinion because I'm not a woman who changes their opinion the minute the CONSENSUS doesn't agree with me.
>>749867292netflix can only produce gay and PDF shit.Why you mouthbreathers keep paying them is beyond me. How much can the dog be kicked before it leaves?
>>749867292Netflix is only canon for "super fans" who never actually played any of the games except Belmonts curse, of course
>>749867320>You implied that. Your argument requires you to put words into that anon's mouthIt's literally written, you only proved that you didn't actually read the very post you quoted.>so I can't take you seriouslyAnd yet you can't stop replying.>I'm not a woman who changes their opinion the minute the CONSENSUS doesn't agree with me.Consensus?You only proved that you were illiterate.
>>749843765I just started it and I'm enjoying it so far. sound track us really good. anybody figured out a wall jump cancel with using attack that'll allow you to keep going up? also combos
I gave up after 4 hours. Reached Dracula's Castle. First few hallways were good then it became full Prince of Persia puzzles again for another hour. I can't stand the music, I can't stand the voiceover, now the combat became shit and the puzzles are the same.What were they trying to achieve here? It doesn't even play like any of the games in the franchise, and I'm even considering Lords of Shadow/Mirror of Fate.
HOWWWWW. Fucking masochistic game
>>749859242Mirror of Fate is a better game than this if you ignore its retarded story.
>>749867423>that this is the first CV to ever feature EDM and Hip Hop, which further explain his distate for the musicHe literally doesn't say that anywhere in that post. Now you're arguing in bad faith. Have a good day.
if i draw rose fucking the fallen do u guys wanna see it please enable me i have no motivation to draw anymore
>>749859664That wasn't me you braindead fagaroni. Everyone hates the game. The game was designed by retards. The people saying its good also say most of it sucks. >but two of the songs slap!>the opening is terrible but the rest is okay, i guessRead the room, no one loves it. You lost. It's over. Pack it up. Better luck next time. Learn from your mistakes. Stop blaming others for your errors. And lasty...Get fucked.
>>749867890Ok but only if Rose is a futa and doing the fucking
>>749867816You have terrible reading comprehension>>749858942>Baroque, Gothic was the style of Castlevania before. >For music they actually used a lot of styles and plenty of mashups, but never EDM and Hip Hop and generic atmospheric sounds.It's a fucking double negative, in other words, this Catslevania does use EDM and hip hop contrary to the previous ones.
>>749867914Schizo
>>749867935haven't heard any hip hop in this game at all
dead cells is a genuine blight on the industry. i said it when it was in early access and only now i finally see people agreeing with me for the exact same reasons i pointed out back then and it was only because midwits allowed it to be successful enough to give one of my favorite IPs to those hack devsalso i want to kill everyone that enabled the>testicle rape puzzle platforming -> locked enemy room where you spam i-frames -> repeatflow thats in all of these shitty excuses for platformers now. nobody can design a classic metroid/castlevania mixed room to save their life anymore
>>749867919naw i think futas are cringe ill just draw her curvier or something
>>749867935We are talking about two different posts. Ok then: the game uses a different genre of music. You still can't explain why it's bad other than "it's different and I don't like it." Like I said initially; calling the soundtrack shit is hyperbolic because it's different from Yamane's work. Let's be real here, if a composer copied her homework, these threads would turn into "SOULLESS COPY OF YAMANE'S WORK." It's silly to argue about this stuff on /v/ because no matter which way you slice it, the soundtrack would have gotten shit regardless for having the wrong ost. Bloodstained still exists, so the comparisons would have been even more aggressive.
>>749868054Carmilla's theme has a fucking TRAP BEAT
>>749867773There's a similar picture in a mirror way over on the other side of the map. Kneel in front of it. Fortunately, after you beat the boss, the map gets unblocked. If you look at the name of that little area your pic is from, look for an area on the left with a name that's almost exactly the same. That'll be the area with the mirror you need.
>>749849683>its canon to the COMPANY who is making the PRODUCT and continues to make characters that look like that, so again thank you for your concessionThat won't be the case anymore when it eventually becomes public domain and only the games made by the og creator are treated as the absolute canon (Castlevania 1, 2 and 3 on the famicom/nes).Having the rights to an ip doesn't really mean shit when it comes to that. Only what was made by the og creators matters in the end.
>>749864142b-but Castlevania 4 had a rotating spike room where you do nothing but hang in place while they show you le ebin visual gimmick, that's the exact same think as Celeste game design YOU FUCKING LARPER CHUD
>>749868230>We are talking about two different postsI'm talking about the post you quoted in one of your post and that I mentioned several times, don't suddenly act like a retard.>You still can't explain why it's bad other than "it's different and I don't like it." Anon says EDM and hip hop doesn't fit the CV universe and I would agree.>Let's be real here, if a composer copied her homework, these threads would turn into "SOULLESS COPY OF YAMANE'S WORK." Bloodstained did that and no one cared.>the soundtrack would have gotten shit regardless for having the wrong ostActually, a good OST is one of the few thing that people will praise about a bad game.
>>749866959The game released two days ago, retard. What is /v/ for if you're not allowed to talk about any games?
>>749868350Just beat that whore and going back to explore everything. Also realized that a room is only showed in yellow when you fully explore everything.Took a pic of that guy actually wondering who he is kek

>>749868639There's also a new room off of the location on the map where the Ferryman room is at. The new exit won't even show up on the map until you're in that location. Oh, have fun with Eleanor's virtue trial up in Notre Dame once you speak with her in her family's mausoleum. That one was by far my least favorite, followed by the Ferryman trial. Joan's was a fun fight and the one for the Judge was decent. The boss fight after you do all of the trials is great, too.
>>749869642>>749870092>Dracula has a picture of Shannoa in his house 300 years bears before she is around.>Acts unimpressed when she shows up.
>>749870464I just talked with Eleanor and I'm taking a break, I'm honestly looking more forward to this "secret" boss but I didn't find the third eye yet, didn't explore stuff with the double jump since I was stuck in Hall of Mirrors for like 2-3 hours

Review after 9 hoursjust beat Carmilla and got the bad ending by reaching the top of clock tower early.The game so far has been enjoyable, serviceable mostly, nothing outstanding. Definitely feels too derivative of its own genre and is too self referential at times.I don't mind the platforming challenges, however, it hampers exploration and backtracking, you know, the core principles of a metroidvania. My issue is not that I have to go through platforming challenges, my issue is that I have to do them over and over again while exploring and backtracking which becomes tedious quickly. A quick fix would be to put more teleport points around the map to reduce all the physical traversing you have to do. It baffles me the unwillingness of the developers to do this and just forcing you to physically traverse sections you already completed over and over. It feels as if the game punishes curiosity while this should be a core tenet of the genre itself.Music is unremarkable.Combat is serviceable but is really hard to keep track of it due to the colorful backgrounds and gauntlets of enemies the game loves you to face you against every few runs. Just like the exploration, this become tedious rather quick, especially with the enemies high hp.I appreciate the attempt of including multiple weapons types, the problem is that unlocking these weapons is tied to exploration, which I already said was tedious, and you are pushed to use the strongest weapon you had found rather than the one you like the most due to the elevated enemy hp, making the weapon progression feel forced on the player rather than letting the play express themselves how they like.Although I'm enjoying the experience so far I'm struggling giving any positive feedback of the game without any caveats.I believe adding more teleport rooms or even just letting you teleport between save statues would improve this game a lot.
>>749871286>I believe adding more teleport rooms or even just letting you teleport between save statues would improve this game a lot.Here, kneel under a mirror
>>749871405did they ever explain this to you or I'm just an idiot?
>>749871476They do but later from a NPC, you can start doing it after sewers
>>749871516that feels cheap ngl.Something I didn't add to my post is that I feel the game could be really enjoyable once you know where to go and what to avoid by replaying, you can even bruteforce the puzzle on your first playthrough, just like Symphony or souls games, instead of running around like a headless chicken knowing what you are doing could be a better experience than your first time playing it.
>>749870849Sovl >>749870590soulless
>>749868460it had ONE room , not every room filled with it 60% of the game is traversal slop and you barely fight anyone , the nintendo3ds have more soul than this fucking abomination that is only castlevania in name , as for your homework i prescribe you to play all the old igvanias especially from the 3ds and sotn , make you appreciate art and proper gameplay , grinding cards , going in blind.this game is an absolute travesty and the artwork is fucking hades copypasta.not sure why konami thought this would be a good thing to release in its current state.
>>749871728The game asks alot of you at any given time, so I find myself missing visual cuesnthat would otherwise be obvious if the game wasn't trying to kill me 60% of the time. The balance between challenge and exploration turns explorationninto a chore, but at the same time I can't help but feel some pleasure when I figure it out. It's a "where the fuck do I go" kind of game way too fast for what it expects the player to execute each run. I wonder if that's why the bosses are piss easy.
>>749871728I happened to find the NPC (who is one of the Arcana cards, so it's not a totally random one) after getting double jump and air dash, but I'm pretty sure you only need air dash to get to her. It might be possible without it. There's an Alucard portrait in the lower left part of the Main Hall, located by the Slogra statue, that points towards the hidden area you'll need to get through. Once you get through the door at the end of it, whack the gear that'll be above your head. It opens up new areas and the NPC will be down and to the right. I highly recommend that you kneel by any mirrors that bear the marks you'll see in their room. Smash the stone above the new zone you'll be transported to as well. Once you've done all four, (there's one in Paris Streets, the Main Hall, the Clock Tower, and Notre Dame) return to her ASAP. When you go into her mirror, you'll be able to open up the mirror fast travel network even further, allowing travel from one mirror to any other mirror in the game as opposed to them normally functioning like a zone restricted teleport. Just don't go exploring the new area down there yet, you'll need all 3 (smash, dash, double jump) abilities. Getting the barriers between zones broken like that makes backtracking so much easier.

why are the reviews mostly positive then, chuddies? from critics to user reviews on steam, nearly everyone who has played it has said it's good. this narrative that everyone hates it is just outright fantasy.
>>749875993Same thing was said about Castlevania Netflix.

>>749843765Nah, I like it. The only thing I'm not enjoying is the music.

The game becomes so much better once you get to the castle. I can't believe they really made you wander Paris for 2 hours, the worst area visually and musically in the game just like OoE.https://youtu.be/l69l4AymPkQ?si=Khmgk0MVf-ZzQq8G

Finished true end; I feel no compulsion to chase down every last thing to bring exploration to 100% unlike pretty much every other CV game.Game was incredibly disappointing overall. There are too many minor (and major) things to list right now since it feels like a fresh and still-bleeding wound to a CV boomer like me. I'm gonna be depressed for a while since either this game flops and my favorite franchise stays dead or this is the new direction and it's not for me.

>>749886728Well you can give all the money to a charity and none to devs with humble but alright.
damn CV4 Death is fucking hardat least you get a checkpoint right before him
Why do so many indie and even triple A games now literally give you the option to just ignore mechanics or turn off things entirely?I mean im thankful for being able to spawn right outside the boss door but then whats the point of designing a game people wont play the way you intended?
She is so sexy bros...
>>749888248Aww anon congrats on coming out of the closet
>>749888157because an ever increasing number of westoid gamers are literally disabled, be it physically due to all the soilents making them decrepit skeletons covered by skin, or mentally by being literal monkeys in terms of IQ, or both
>>749843765>"we want the Hades audience" ugly ass art style>"we want the millennial audience" trip hop nigger beats music>controls are fucking dogshit, the whip movement ability works correctly about 30% of the time and I'm being generous>enemy variety is lacking>voice acting is meh>default movement speed is slow as shitI REALLY want to like this game but I am forced to admit it's fucking trash. I hate that it's trash because we almost never get 2d Castlevania games anymore. Hopefully Metroid Ravenous doesn't disappoint or this genre is as good as dead.
>>749869020trap isn't hip hop, you mongoloid
The whip ability has a huge amount of lag in the beginning of animation which makes it awful to use.
>>749888248which chapter of JJBA is this man from?
>>749888447>>"we want the millennial audience" trip hop nigger beats musicProbably the worst sin this westoid goyslop could have possibly done.Regardless of the quality of any given JP castlevania game, it always had anywhere from good to masterpiece tier music, taking the games from either bad to passable or good to unironic timeless classics.Meanwhile this goyslop will get forgotten in a week due to it's dogshit music and people intentionally trying to memoryhole the netflixvania verse, a month if some meme mocking it sticks around.
it's clearly netflix inspired
>>749846548I'm more confused about how Quincy Morris married and had a kid with Mina Harker in the Castlevania universe
>>749888470It's literally a subgenre of hip hop, dumbass.
>>749846902IGA is literally just the later par of NIGGA, how are they unable to pronounce it
>>749847234wouldnt surprise me even when its clearly trying to look like westoid goyslop too, its all about money and doubt iga has the money or willingness to pay up the SBI shill extortion money
>>749888721it isn't. no matter how much you want it to be zoomie
the bad visual readability wouldn't be such a problem if the fucking camera weren't so zoomed out
>>749888721what a fucking retard
>>749888861You do you, faggot, it won't change the fact that you're coping about liking shitty music aimed at brown people.
>>749888895is there a zoom in option in the full game
>>749889019dumb fuck. niggers are a sun-species, right? unless you wanna admit to something else. dumb fuck
>>749889148sub*
>>749888861i dont care about the intricacies of "music" for apes and anyone with a brain gets the point when anyone calls it hip hop slop
>>749889148Yes, just like trap is a subgenre of hip hop.
>>749889296that's right. it isn't hip hop. fucking retard
what about https://store.steampowered.com/app/1701520/Afterimage/how did we feel about this indie female-MC vania
>>749889362I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be actually retarded.
>>749889260hey, here you are crying about it. you have a strange way of showing you don't care, kys faggot
>>749889461I accept your concession. sorry for so upset
>get to the Catacombs>play Underground Melodies and Evils Symphonic PoemMuting Asadi's music makes the game a little more bearable. FUCK these excessive saw spike rooms though.
>>749889460that actually looks like an attractive female so it gets a passstill have foid mc fatigue however, more so if it becomes yurislop, which turned out to be a literal gubmint psyop to push tranny shit
>>749889460It was pretty damn fun, I 100%'d the Switch version.
>>749889608I liked the catacombs music; it reminded me of VtM Bloodlines music
>>749889460Better art direction than BC.Pretty cheap too but I'm broke atm.
Wheres this plethora of horny fanart at?AM I being gaslit?
>igafags mad that Castlevania is back to being an action / platform game instead of Dracula RPG>complain about the most basics jumps to do because they never played action / platform game before (or savescummed)>"we want more Igavania" while Portrait of Ruin and Ecclesia tanked the seriesKonami was right about Castlevania.
>>749889782>AM I being gaslit?yepthey are desperate to shake off the netflixvania allegations despite literally continuing the kikeflix lore
>>749889872How is the lore similar to the Netflix show now?
>>749888721>thinks trap is Atlanta ooga-booga rap music>wasn't alive during 00's EDMNGMI
>>749843765>dogshit music that makes Lords of Shadows OST seem reasonable in comparisonCheck.>enemies are dogshitCheck.>western art made specifically to cater to calarts enjoyersCheck.>women that look like men or hazbin hotel/amazing circus rejects to appeal to lgbtq loversCheck.>garish artstyle where most environments are forgettable and have no distinct identity like other low quality games apeing CastlevaniaCheck.It's designed for people who don't like CV and pretend to like video games. The type who play BG3 or E33 and think either of those games are masterpieces. They post here thinking they're welcome here.
>>749889849>platform You have never played classicvanias
>>749890069Yes, and I have not seen anything that prove me wrong other than anon seething and coping.
>that vampire killer remix when Trevor saves Rose from Death
>>749846202>generic katakana font>approach with caution>watch trailer out of curiosity>shitty animation that emphasize frame count rather than impact and readability>reddit "retro" music completely anachronistic with the art styleEvery time. Japan is truly the only country capable of aura
>>749889943Did you somehow not notice they are going off the netflix trevor/sypha retcons or something?They also retconned leon despite the game's plot happening 400 years later than leon's game, becuase of course the westoid girlboss has to shit on everyone to assert superiority over the icky males.
>>749888721anon, if I say X is a sub genre of Y, is X actually Y?
>>749890569Feel free to prove me wrong.
>>749889943>>749890438>They also retconned leon despite the game's plot happening 400 years later than leon's game, becuase of course the westoid girlboss has to shit on everyone to assert superiority over the icky males.this is funny because in this goyslop leon somehow got cursed by dracula after "their final encounter"which makes no goddamn sense when dracula wouldn't even be around terrorizing the place until almost half a millennium later, and leon fought walter in the game, a rando ass vampire comparable to the squatter olrox if anything, then dracula sends death to take care of leon and fucks off into hiding for 4 centuries just to repeat it, LoI happens in 1094, his first appareance as dracula wouldnt happen until 1476, this goyslop happens in 1499this is continuing the netflix lore where leon was basically jesus and died for everyones sins on that confrontation against proto-dracula and death (as a backstory implication), which is literally a plot hole because he has to dick some girl to actually kickstart the vampire killer belmont clan in the first place after that fight, here the plot twist is he didnt die, he got cursed and became a slave to dracula after that final fight, which makes even LESS sense because that means no belmonts would be around if this were the casethese goyim didnt even care to check basic timeline shit before inserting their poorly planned fanfiction of netflix's fanfiction
>>749890216Just google trap edm. It would take you 5 seconds. You aren't entitled to spoonfeeding
>>749891138>Trap music, also known simply as trap, is a subgenre of hip-hop music that originated in the Southern United States.
>>749846389Nah, I’m almost at the end, it’s definitely not HK, closer to Ori
>>749869309Before everyone there?
>>749847127The 2D ones?Absolutely
>>749847127Yes.Circle of the Moon for Classicvania.Ritual of the Night for Metroidvania.
>>749888895>>749889102Someone told me turn on high visibility in options and i gave myself a white outline just to see where i am
I just finished replaying SOTN after at least a decade.What a good fucking game
>that schizo in the first thread who claimed to be a marketer>said the briefing was telling people to push the platforming angle>and to insist that castlevania was always about the platformingIf you're here, I'm sorry. I believe you.
So what's the Belmont family lineage at this point?
>let's give the player crucial movement abilities in the last third of the gameWhat were they thinking?
>>749892353There legitimately cannot be one. Because Sypha died after having one daughter, and even if she DID marry, she'd take her husband's name. So, it's over.
>>749843765Lords of shadow is the superior castlevania
>>749845080Same. I'm not AGP enough for modern video gaming. Thankfully old or niche games are plentiful.
>>749844457Sistercel... take your HRT, you'll feel better
Rose is cute! CUTE!!
>>749876556>>749876597If you include languages from any thirdie country(ie people who arent allowed to be manchildren) it jumps up to ~80%, which is crazy considering the price
>>749863992fucking unbearable
>>749892681>she'd take her husband's name.anon that's not a sacred unbreakable rule are you underage wtf
>>749893510
>>749893583>ie people who arent allowed to be manchildren>Africa and India
>>749892353Same as the Skywalker lineage: anyone can take up the name, ESPECIALLY the girlboss who shows up everyone who held the name before her.
I made a mod that turns Rose into a manhttps://www.nexusmods.com/castlevaniabelmontscurse/mods/56
>>749893815Already an upgrade, but won't change the game being shit. good job anyways anon
I'm having fun playing SCIV again
>>749893583It's at 70~% on steamdb, I'm not sure where you pulled that 80% figure.
I'm gonna buy a copy on the switch when it goes on sale because the box art is sick
>>749893815>>749893890
>>749894053No you won't, no it isn't, ywnbaw
>>749893664it is when the vampire killer is literally passed down by blood though magic wumbo jumbo shittitles can easily be thrown into a bumfuck rando that just so happens to be the second adopted cousin of someone important, that shit is not going to fly on a literal blood pact
>>749867018Ironically enough just goes to show how low the standards are for westoids and how high they are for japan due to people into JP stuff being so used to far more superior media.
>>749893815I'm shocked you didn't change his name to Rhodes.
>>749893815Where's the mod to change him into a woman?
>>749894360yes i will, yes it is, LMAO why would anyone want to be a chick lmaoooo you are gay
>>749895105Good name idea, i was thinking Rosendo, but Rhodes is better
>>749865435Finally, the strongest belmont got her game.
>>749886396I literally just spammed sword pogo on her head with the double hit sword until she died. Then I did it again after the jump scare. I dunno what they were smoking with bosses in this game since the boss music is generally worse than the already bad music elsewhere, while the bosses themselves are complete pushovers and have patterns easier to avoid than the random skeleton archer/boomerang guys. True end Dracula phase 2 was the first time I felt pressured since he never sits still but still easier than a lot of previous cv final bosses.
>>749877186No, apparently this is an in-house artist, he only work on either arcade or region lock konami game.So his presence in the west is almost nonexistent.You might know one of his more famous design… Grim Aloe
>no charlotte schoolgirl costume for rosewhat a waste
>He's aware of 'The discourse'>Trauma dumps about "The culture war">Just wants to turn his brain off and grill>Claims the game is fine>Can't bring himself to say when he'll play it again because he "doesn't have time">Gets up on his soapbox to gloat how much better he is by not participating in the flamewaring, that he's totally not mad at both sides "screaming" and that you should (((ironically))) "fight it out in the comments"Yep, it's over. Are you happy now, /v/?You beat an irrelevant old manchild down when all he ever wanted was to have fun and talk about one of his favorite franchises. But you all just HAD to turn it into another 'Us vs. Them' fiasco, A-GAIN.I hope you're all proud of yourselves.
>>749896674get help
Perpetuating the Belmont bloodline by cumming inside Rose and refusing to take responsibility!
>>749896674Wouldn't be a problem if the game wasn't shit.
>>749896886It’s not, it’s a solid 7/10.
>>749890614what makes it hip hop? lmao
>>749896248Sorry, Charlotte’s been retconned.
>muh anime styletf you're yapping about? I'm old enough to remember when it wasn't about anime at all. 1, 3, 4, bloodline, those where just a pixelated guy killing monsters. idk, I like Belmont's curse, it's a good game, maybe not a good Castlevania.
>>749893815would

>>749845080faggot
>>749898149I'm a samefag. I'm sorry, I know I have a mental illness and this is a bad habit but I can't help myself
>>749844080The actual game doesn't look like KD at all, let me tell you. I'm not a fan of what I'm seeing thus far. :(
>>749843765>10 minutes of credits for a sloppy copy paste
>>749896674Wow, and I did nothing
>>749897306sure it is, bud
>>749843765Whatever it is is NOT Castlevania. It's like a low quality The Lost Crown clone.
>>749893975I take back what i said, my reviews are in english and portuguese there's no way in hell Brazil and Portugal are offsetting that many negative reviews if gringos actually hated this game. As always most of the negativity is a 4chan fabrication.Well i guess i'm just about done with /v/, there used to be a time when people here would still like a game or another but even that is gone now and replaced with constant mentally ill verbal diarrhea
>>749900407Nah, it's shit.
>>749900407Again this bullshit what the fuck happened nowThe chinese are the most tasteless people on Earth there's no fucking way this is about the game itself
>>749900407>>749900586Kek, the game sucks fag!
>>749900513>>749900636Nah it's notIt's pretty good actually, it's no HK and has some minor technical problems but it's pretty fun
>>749900407Personally I haven't been following whatever the discourse is around this game, I just pirated it and beat it and I think it's like a 6/10 game. With a great ost it could've gone up a point but as is with the miserable music in the game currently I can't give it higher. That's my genuine opinion, not one intentionally contrarian or whatever. If people are praising the game to a ridiculous extent elsewhere, that's not my concern since all I can do is provide my own experience and perspective.
>>749900664Nah, it's shit, and you're trans. As the last word, I win.
