I had a dream last night that Nat did character art for a surprise Castlevania game on the DS.
The only other thing I remember about the dream game was fighting Shub-Niggurath who looked like Arthroverta but with big exposed breasts.
I think it may have been another Jonathon/Charlotte game.

Never played a CV game before. Started Aria of Sorrow last night. Pretty fun. Ive got gliding wings and a magic that lets me shoot air blades and another one with a grenade. I have a dagger and a sword, but they are pretty ass compared with magic unless I can cheese enemies like crouching by archers. I love the animations and the artwork for the areas so far. It is all so smooth. I only played for a half hour, but Im gunna try to beat it this weekend.
>>
>>750167165
The story is quite good actually. It lacks the enormity of Castlevania, but it's perfectly serviceable. There's good, there's evil, there's nasty demons. It's okay. It's like...three quarters as good as a castlevania tale, but it lacks the oomph, you know?

>>750167170
Why do you say that?
>>
>>750166818
It's funny because I just beat it today and all of what you're saying is out of context.

>passing the torch
Not really. Trevor says he'll go back to the hunt once he's recovered. If anything Rose is the one who wants to pass the torch.

>Rose is a block of wood
True. But so are most CV protags in the games proper.

>killed sypha in childbirth 20 years ago
Dracula's curse killed her. You fell for Death's lies.

>fucking monsters chatting to Rose like they're mates is gay as shit
You mean the tarot cards? Only Medusa, Joan, and Trevor talk to her. The others only talk for like 5 textboxes if you complete their sidequests and some still remain antagonistic like Death, Isaac, and Succubus.

>Hunt the night? Uh I meant lecture people until dawn!
More helping humanity realize that living in sin and being driven by despair and anger will only lead to tragedy and sorrow. It feels similar to Persona 3 now that I think about it, where the characters resolve to live better lives and help those around them to ease the burden of the MC.

My actual complaint of the narrative elements is Rose doesn't show much weakness. I liked her development, but I would've liked more scenes like in the ending where she hesitates to let go of her mom for good.

Castlevania has next to no storyline. Just recurring iconic characters. OoE and maybe Lament of Innocence are the only ones whose plots aren't total ass pull hat tricks.

It's a milennia-spanning struggle of good and evil, where the heroes fight the forces of darkness, aided by the church. It's not preachy, it's not political, it's not convoluted.

The church is a force for good (very rare to see in anything) and the good guys always come through in the end after a lot of struggle. It's a joy to play through their stories on their own or understand it as a cohesive whole, and characters and families are long-standing in the lore without being too heavily bogged-down by it, built up carefully over the course of decades.

What's not to love? It's so rare to see a storyline like it these days.

There's nothing ironic about it. Japan wasn't really rife with Rawhide Kobayashi types back then and "yanki" culture was leaning towards the bad-ass degeneracy of the west, not pop culture things like horror movies.

I disagree. Also worldbuilding and lore are part of the storyline. For example, before playing PoR, on being told that Johnathan Morris is being harmed by using the Vampire Killer, it's easy to understand why, with no further information. Because it has been subtly built up.

If the storyline is so bad why the fuck are people clamouring for the battle of 1999 so badly?
>>
>>750167916
I'm not. The villains aren't chatty with Rose and the ending isn't her lecturing people on how to be better. There's plenty of legitimate complaints about BC, but that Anon is somehow wrong in all of his lmao

It's a weird one. It was actually the first one I played, and it just never clicked with me. These days, I can't really stomach classicvania games at all to be honest, though I play through 3 occasionally, and there was a decent fan remake of Simon's Quest that I thought was pretty good.

Because that is world building like I just said. Julius being an aging old man who was holding back and still giving Soma one of the toughest fights is excellent mythmaking.

You worded it differently, but you agreed on that too.
You also agreed that Sypha died 20 years ago, and that Rose is a block of wood.
>>
>>750168589
NTA but every single Belmont has the personality of 90s era Keanu Reeves, so Rose being the same is just par for the course.
>>
>>750168541
I think it's weird to split up the storyline in a load of components like "worldbuilding" and "mythmaking". It's all part of the story.
>And it's better it stays that way tbqhwu.
I agree on this, but we both know most wanna see it

I'm the opposite. I can't stand bloatmaxxed games anymore. Frankly no game deserves more than 10 hours of my attention max, and only a small handful deserve more than 5. Most of the best games of all time can be beaten in under that.

I think that IGAvania games are a good length though. Not too long, but enough to get my teeth into. Also, I get a weird zen-like pleasure from grinding for items sometimes
>>
>>750168912
Not that guy, but how can you justify the earlier games being extended by memorizing patterns and having to do the same exact platforming? This is an honest question, btw. I know that's rare
>>
>>750168682
Eh I see storyline as what happens within the game. World building is what sets up the events of the story. As in Aria of Sorrow's basic ass moe storyline while Julius represents the apex of the Belmont clan.
Good talk though, we can probably both agree that it'd be hard to do a prime Julius justice.
>>
>>750169150
From your perspective, I can see your point. Taken as separate entities, the in-game storylines are very saturday morning cartoon tier affairs.
Yeah, it's always going to be better to let Julius in his prime stay where his story will have the most impact; in the imagination.

Im no castlevania lore expert, but from what i recall, death was an entity born from the darkness of humans and he served walter before betraying him and siding with dracula, and his immortality was tied to his master.
but now he's treated as an actual immortal primordial entity who will far outlive dracula

death feels more like the actual villain of this series nowadays
>>
>>750169075
>how can you justify the earlier games being extended by memorizing patterns and having to do the same exact platforming?
NTA but what did you mean by this
most of the classicvanias don't really rely on memorization and, like, yeah the platforming is gonna be the same every time, it's not a roguelike

That went out the window with AoS which... came out earlier that year.

there's no real interconnecting lore save for direct sequels and such, don't worry about it
>>
>>750169075
I guess I'm confused like the other guy. Memorization can help you for sure but it isnt required. I just like the eay the older games can be picked up and put down whenever and still finish em.
>>
>>750169295
>but now he's treated as an actual immortal primordial entity who will far outlive dracula
I always get the impression that was always the case, but without Dracula, he's not going to get anywhere near the level of success he does with him around to serve as his "master".

Then again, this is all japanese "Shinigami" stuff, isn't it? I think they treat the idea of the grim reaper differently there. Like..there are lots of them, and they're just powerful ghosts or something?

So maybe he's just one death in a whole..council of deaths
>>
>>750169308
I'm saying that your resources are limited and you need to keep your subweapon what you want and your health high. Older games, specifically the first trilogy, works heavily on memorization and playing a certain way. "Stay on this platform, whip the birds until BAM" and so on. I don't know if this applies to you, but I've noticed that lot of people don't recognize how most new people don't know how Castlevania 'should' be played. We know what weapons are optimal, how to keep the whip strong, etc

>>
>>750169645
I still feel like I'm not sure what you're talking about, but even the early classicvanias it doesn't really hit you with anything unreasonable, the trick is to just play slowly and carefully, prioritize targets, and keep your distance and you'll probably be fine. I've got an awful memory but I still play the originals without any trouble.
The only possible exception is CV3 because god damn does that game love abusing staircases and their awful controls to throw nearly unavoidable shit at you. And all of Dracula X but fuck Dracula X.

That was always my impression of death as a character, but it seems like the western Castlevania stuff prefers to think of the character as a primordial entity, which is still pretty interesting
>>
>>750169295
IGA’s Castlevanias draw heavily from Jungian psychology, his Dracula is an anti-messiah summoned when the collective misery and hatred of mankind reaches a certain threshold.
His Death is also a creature born of mankind’s collective unconscious, but because death is omnipresent the entity Death is always around.
Death betrayed Walter for Mathias because Mathias was just an evil hedonist whereas Mathias was a hardcore nihilist who wanted to undo creation.
That probably all sounds really pretentious, but that’s the only way I can describe it (ESL, sorry).

I'm mostly talking about 3 and certain points in that game. The rest of them are fairly reasonable if you know what you're getting into. I've also never been great at being slow and steady, so I guess that answers why I've never beaten 3 legitimately. Maybe I'm just bitter

>Only Medusa, Joan, and Trevor talk to her
Straight up lies. Other cards talk to you from time to time if you have them in different situations. Also his point was that talking cards is generally bad, not the amount of dialogs.
>More helping humanity realize that living in sin and being driven by despair and anger will only lead to tragedy and sorrow
That sentence is written better than 90% of game's literally "be better" banter.
> I liked her development
What development? She is cursed, and the curse is... cool red arm, I guess, and getting angry when people make her angry. And than the curse dissappears because she comes through the Virtue challenges to overcome her flaws... which we never see? Maybe there are four flaws altogether in her decision to go against Death alone but like she said there were no time to spare so that's pretty logical on her side instead of "ugh I'm so impatient and full of myself".

Okay, I've read the thread and now I'm genuinely interested and think that I might be wrong. So did Sypha died at childbirth or not? I played the game in my native language, not English, so maybe something is lost in translation but I thought that the big reveal to Rose is that her mother died not because childbirth was hard and literally killed her but because of the curse (but she still died giving birth). Or did she died some time after?

HoD is the perfect example of how NOT to design a metroidvania map. It doesn't lead you anywhere naturally, it takes forever to get anywhere, and there's two distinct maps where you have to personally keep track of every single impassable area and correctly guess why you can't. And while you're aimlessly dashing around for hours at a time, the music will do its best to drive you insane.
It's really remarkable since the rest of the IGAvanias have pretty good map design except maybe OoE.

>>750170854
Forgive them anon, they were kids when it came out and they know not what they say.
CoD is okay
>>
>>750170854
Curse of Darkness is based as hell, the crafting system is novel, as is finding and stealing the items, the set piece bosses are neat, the characters are interesting and new, and the trevor fights are great.

For the time, the combat was quite refreshing too, with blocks and dodges and parries.

way ahead of its time
>>
>>750170696
you realize castlevania is a parody collage of classic horror movies from the 30s, right?
>>
>>750170919
My read of the situation is that Sypha died during childbirth due to being too weak from Dracula's curse
>>
>>750170682
Nah, its one of the most misleading fights in the game simply because you can walk through part of the dragons most people would think you couldn't like his claws.
>>
>>750170978
Is that the second one? What I watched is LoI
>>
>>750170993
>parody collage
it's not a parody though. It's not satirical or ironic. It's a homage.
>>
>>750170919
The Curse killed her shortly after giving birth to Rose, and that may or may not have to do with when it finally killed her.
>>
>>750171080
yeah, that's the second one.

Honestly, I think LoI is shit, apart from a few bosses
>>
>>750171156
Thanks. I'll check them out properly if they ever release a 3D collection (I know I can emulate them)

>>750170412
You said Rose killed her in childbirth. Rose's birth had nothing to do with her death. I'm not sure why you're so desperately doubling down on this point.
>>
>>750171275
What's funny about it? Like..in any way?
>>
>>750170919
We don't know exactly when she died if it was minutes after birth or weeks later. All we know is that the game explicitly says she died because of the Curse and NOT childbirth.
>>
>>750165572
Castlevania? more like "Cattlevania"
>>
>>750171379
NTA but the point is killing off beloved character behind the scenes not how she dies.
>>
>>750170412
>> I liked her development
>What development? She is cursed, and the curse is... cool red arm, I guess, and getting angry when people make her angry. And than the curse dissappears because she comes through the Virtue challenges to overcome her flaws... which we never see?
They do talk with her about the different aspect of herself. It's not anything mindbending, but it IS character development. She went from being filled with vengeance to jedi knight. That's as good as Castlevania gets, really

Did you play the game? The whole 4 virtues thing is her development. She goes from angry and revenge fueled to self-actualization. It's part of why shitposters use the "better Belmonts" meme so much.

>>750171796
Yes? That she basically had long enough to give birth to non-canon belmont before being fuckin shelved because they wanted non-canon belmont to have something to cry about.

I should add: The whole "you haven't played the game" shit is said to get the defensive response "yeah, I have, here's proof" and screenshots.

Which he can then printscreen for his boss to show that he made a sale. It's weird, but this is how people make money in marketing.

Well there is a difference because they are different characters.

easily one of the best metroidvanias out there. it is definitely Castlevania in its own right, minus the weird music (I miss Michiru Yamane) and the Library theme is the worst of all in the game. Streets Of Paris being the best and Catacombs or Notre Dame being second is accurate. House Of Sacred Remains haunts Paris Streets. the game is flawed but it's fucking good! like I had to catch myself and acknowledge to myself that I was having fun and it is Castlevania. it is dark and Gothic in a very peculiar way. I just wish it was more serious like its music is. the library is my least favorite, regrettably, because I was expecting way more out of the setting and the music is atrocious (fuck all Zoomers and pandering to them and their trash). the game is still pretty good tho. I had fun

Dawn of Sorrow and Simon's Quest. Kind of crazy what a fucking mess Dawn is all-in-all, with so much glut and bloat around the map, so many repeating rooms, when Aria is mostly killer with little filler. Making piecemeal progress in Simon's Quest, did two mansions and found the game evidently wanted me to cross the poison marsh without a laurel the first time just because I didn't know anywhere fucking else to go and it was doable enough.
>Favourite game
SotN, CV3, also have a soft spot for Dracula X for the SNES, had a great experience revisiting that. Also nostalgic for Chronicles.
>Least favourite
I played both PS2 games to completion but looking back they are pretty bad. I attempted a replay of LoI a handful of months ago, got to the part in the House of Sacred Remains where you're just hitting different switches tied to a locked door with three lights on it to activate, only to get to the third switch and have it be for a fucking different door. I just stopped.

Brauner and how they handled him is the only part of the story that genuinely bothers me, I get that he's not the same guy and they probably just wanted to get him in there somewhere but what's the point? If they had included an actual boss fight with him I'd probably be a lot less annoyed because a Brauner boss would probably benefit a lot from modern hardware. But no, he just gets beat up offscreen.

>>750174387
I mean you say it yourself it's not the same Brauner. It was pretty easy for me to dissacociate vs say Leon who turned into a semon and killed hundreds of innocents.

This is a gross mischaracterization of the characters and I can only assume the author has a chip on their shoulder for any and all remakes. For example, whoever made this completely confused Irons' personality. It was in the ORIGINAL game that it was strongly suggested he was a serial killer and rapist before the outbreak. He is far more twisted in the original, in the remake he is toned down.

As per your request, we have conducted our internal investigation and discovered the following information:

1) Regarding the G-virus currently under development by Umbrella Inc.

So far it is unconfirmed that the G-virus even exists. We're continuing with our investigation

2) Regarding Mr. Brian Irons, Chief of Raccoon City Police Dept.

Mr. Irons has allegedly received a large sum of funds in bribes from Umbrella Inc. over the last five years. He was apparently involved in the cover up of the mansion lab case along with several other incidents in which Umbrella appears to have direct involvement.
Mr. Irons had been arrested under suspicion of rape on two separate counts during his years as a university student. He underwent psychiatric evaluation as a result of the charges but was released due to circumstantial evidence as well as his phenomenal academic standing.

As such, extreme caution is advised when dealing with him.

>Belmont’s Curse
It’s bad. It’s really mid for you zoomies. We are talking about totally lost the plot, only good thing about the story was Isaac is white. Leon’s fall is so unbelievable and I would probably not have made it halfway through if I had to listen to English VA’s. Admittedly it has its moments when it comes to evolving the RPG elements but it steals so much of that from hollow knight and its in game reliance on the whip to navigate rooms and bosses. When a DS game (OoE) mogs this one in every conceivable way and even that game is not a top 5 for me means they fucked this game up hard, but it will sell enough and the series will go on to see itself become the villain.
>favorite
Tough call between Rondo, Curse of Darkness and Aria of Sorrow, each respectively my favorite of each form (classic, Metroid, 3D), but the whole DS era is highly replayable and worth a play through at least. I know Curse of Darkness is heavily flawed but it has the same goofy VA nature that SotN had and personally I love the familiar system that was never used again.
>least favorite
I want to say Belmont’s curse but honestly as unoriginal and weak as it is there is potential to have a better game from the dead cells bones of it all, so I have to say The Adventure is the worst entry I’ve beaten.

Whoever came up with that plot for him didn’t play lament and didn’t care for his personality or what would’ve made sense for them to do with him, being the originator of the grudge doesn’t mean he is susceptible to Mathias after he already defeated Mathias once. For the story’s sake even Trevor becoming the beast that lies in the arcana would’ve been a better choice but they had to have a scene where he sacrifices himself to embolden the new character and it isn’t the worst thing to do, but it’s definitely abusing the lore to justify a story choice for Leon.
