I hate to admit that I GOT FILTERED. This game is so hard and frustrating with so many platforming with instant restart hazard, endlessly respawning enemies, sluggish movement, super short range dodge roll with so little i-frame and generally lack of save points.My game crashed once and while it auto saved, it spawned me all the way back to the latest save point, which was like 67 km and 69 platforming sequence away from my previous position.And all that get way worse on switch (dogshit machine) with slight input lag and very long loading screen.I played Well Dweller right before this game and that game was so much more enjoyable.
at least the voice acting is really good
What the fuck nigger the game is piss easy, you teleport from enemy to enemy air juggling them to death, have a frame 0 parry, flasks heal you to 100% HP and 40% MP and every boss has like three moves they repeat on rotation
>[HEART WARMING]The Netflix Castlevania show producers love the show's influence on the game. He also appreciates the game turning his Carmilla dream fight into a reality. Can't believe the game is so respectful to the anime bros. It really has changed the series forever
>>750198884Does the game shows Alucard getting graped?
>>750197969>so hardWhen does it get hard? In the bad ending?>platforming badYes. This game genuinely tried to copy hollow knight and celeste and it’s worse off for it. Why is there a dash and double jump? Why design random spots for areas to return to that don’t look like anything but a dead end in a place where it’s annoying to re reach later on because your ferryman system is garbage?You didn’t get filtered, the game was made for an audience that doesn’t exist, people who would enjoy hollow knight and who liked the way dead cells looks but have never played either those nor a castlevania game.>>750198002She is the only reason I beat the game.
>>750198884Turbo lesbian carmilla is good. Now we need porn of her clam slamming rose in that pool of blood
I know those endlessly respawning flying enemies are there to help me grapple upwards, but their very presence is still annoying, especially when they're actively attacking me

>>750198884Konami took the good ideas and left the shitty ones.Issac is still a ginger and Dracula is still an unredeemable bastard.
>>750197969HA, I was just about to make a thread like this. I have moved to the "cope" part of getting filtered by making the argument that the platforming doesn't respect my time. And the backtracking is all over the place.
>>750198884the boss fight was cool though and still had remnants of the OG one
I'm gonna play The Merlies and FF Resonance instead
>>750199293>yurislop for nu males and cucks>goodtalk for yourself
>>750201934Agreed, it’s insane how many roaches have invaded the fandom trying to gaslight the rest of it that this is a good game and these changes are welcome.
>>750198884game for tourists
I wasn't convinced by the game at first yet the more I play the more fun I have.The music is still shit compared to CV standards tho.
>>750202154Let’s see how you feel once you’re in Dracula’s castle, which is usually the strongest part of a game.What the fuck were they thinking with the stupid beats behind the music though, immediate atmosphere clearer.
>>750202026their kind always gravitate to forcing yurisloppa and other shit fetishes. another shit taking straight outta netflix
>>750201934Carmilla has historically been a turbo lesbian and Rose is repulsed by her advances thoughbeit.
>>750202296>Let’s see how you feel once you’re in Dracula’s castleAlready am and it's even more fun exploring.
This is not Castlevania.
Wow, no one hates castlevania more than castlevania "fans"
>>750198884So the game is inspired by the show because Carmilla used her magic that wasn't in the show?
I am starting to notice most haters on this game got filtered by the high difficulty. It reminds me a lot of the same criticisms for OoE because people couldn't mindlessly murder and farm enemies.
>>750202417Konami disagrees.
>>750202417never played castlevania, are levels like this in previous games?
>>750200108>did you enjoy the new game?>>no, the steam numbers were too low
>>750198884>still has the shitflix richter pfplmao
>>750202392Ah you are brain dead, I’m sorry anon.>>750202417I can’t tell if they copied indie platformers out of fear or out of hubris
>>750198884>>750202034Obsessed
>>750202417With all the spikes it reminds me of the OG Castlevania Adventure for the Gameboy
>>750202417>oh no! I actually have to pay attention and not just glide through hallways while raping every monster with the Crissigrim!
>>750202417The "this doesn't feel like Castlevania" talking point is bullshit because Castlevania has experimented a ton over the years within the framework of action-platforming. However I do agree that the "fuck you here's a room of saws you need to perfectly jump around or don't progress" & "Combat designed around limited heal flasks and boss runbacks" design that hundreds of games have done since Hollow Knight sucks.What's actual dogshit is that the new Shinobi game did all this too when it was a way bigger departure from the core series.
>>750202676Even funnier considering the show was quietly canceled.
>>750197969Fast traveling mod broke my save about four hours in and I also was not really enjoying myself so I have no compulsion to start a new game. I guess some cosmic power was sparing me the mid experience.
>>750202536The dead giveaway is complaining about not being able to farm loot and how stats should matter. They all want to be able to bulldoze the game. I just don't see the value in killing the same enemy 200 times for a gimmick weapon that either trivializes the game or outclassed by multiple weapons in the same class.
>>750202898To be fair, towards the end up the game you can do that with Valmanway (formerly Crissaegrim)
>>750203028>farm lootNo, not loot, people want drops. People want unique weapons, not 7 weapon classes with copy paste upgrades and only one weapon per class with any utility. You wouldn’t have this problem if there weren’t such a pitiful amount of monsters in the game. It’s honestly one of the worst parts of the game, at least before when there were 10 bone enemies there were also 50 other unique enemies. Now it’s 6 bone enemies and 25 other unique enemies and the map is also very undiverse.
>>750197969I was filtered by it's horrid artstyle.
>>750203028Some Anon awhile ago said that Castlevania, or more specificially Igavania, is a platformer action RPG made for people who hate platformers and action RPGs and it lives rent free in my head.
>most of the game you just explore a castlethat's so boring
>character designs are ugly westernized trash>music is atrocious>overabundance of trap rooms and oversaturated colors means when you've played through one area you've played them all>gimped weapon and magic options for Rose Belmont, a character who should've at least played like a proto Juste>Leon became Draculas thrall for 400 years>Sypha died off screen around the time of Curse of Darkness>tiny enemy bestiary >monstergirl enemies are now sexless
aaand they're back
>>750203709Don't all Belmonts die off screen?
>>750203027fast travel system in this game is so fucking stupid with the ferry and the mirror kneeling area stuff. it makes me not want to explore cuz backtracking is a huge chore. Gal Guardian 2 is a much better game
>>750203709>music is atrociousdon't forget that BGM doesn't loop well. it just ends with awkward silence for a few seconds and replays from the beginning.
>>750203709>monstergirl enemies are now sexlessThat's a sin, you shouldn't lust over demons.
>>750203772Yep, the christfag larpers who know nothing about castlevania.
>>750203478well there aren't that many true arpgs, for me that genre is team ninjas stuff
>>750204035Can't stop me, not with Scarlet Engagement on the way.

>>750202340why are you coming up with this historical bit when you made it clear in your first post that you like yurislop? just stay with your narrative, don't pretend everyone needs to like your netflix yurigarbage tho.
>>750203709https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxrnXe5bL1EMfw the speakers start to fart.
>>750203821As someone who played GG2 it really isn't lol. The combat is more braindead with even less weapon options and the map is way too large and empty that even with fast travel you are wasting so much time going anywhere.If BC is a 7 GG is a 6 at best.
>>750204108The redditors raiding the thread from discord and reddit*
>>750197969>go into audio options>turn shitty dialogue audio slider down to zero>doesn't even work so i can still hear the voices very faintly when they speakhow did they fuck up something so simple?
>>750204216Nah there's lots of action rpgs. Maybe less 2D ones, but doesn't change the point.
>>750204873>this is good music according to certain """people"""
>>750204914the only bad thing about it is the weapon inventory system with so much dupes and clutter.. combat and exploration are fun.
>>750202918>within the framework of action-platformingThe problem with BC is exactly what you said, most of the time the platforming and the action are separated from each other. The only section where you have to actually go through platforms while dealing with enemies that I remember is the castle's entrance.
Alright fine, it’s kusoge, so what should they do differently next time?
>>750205259Combat would be fun if there were more variety, but sadly it's even less than BC. Personally I found exploration bad. Rooms were 4-5x as large as a typical castlevania game with less going on and the limited fast travel meant you were spending minutes going back and forth. The devs even realized this was an issue and gave you a super dash, but its movement was restrictive and it was a late game unlockable as well. Hunting for bones for the true ending was a nightmare.
>>750205371Just let the series die
>>750205290>most of the time the platforming and the action are separated from each otherI don't think this is true at all. While there are spike only rooms and enemy only arenas, there's plenty of enemies scattered around that make you think how you traverse a level. Having played OoE and AoS, I'd say its actually better integrated in BC.
why is the writing so bad? They just not give a fuck, or what?
Whenever I see screenshots of the game my head is struggling to read the screen. How the fuck did they manage that everything blends together.
>>750205721just trying to stay faithful to the series
>>750205721Death is always melodramatic.
>>750203816Dracula actually enthralled Leon when he were and old fart in his 80s or something long past his night fucking prime. And didn't even violently kill Leon either, that might as well have been a gay kiss.I like Dracula keeping Leon as a pet, that man literally can't let go of the past. If he's seething over his loved one becoming charcoal it makes sense he's also going to obsess over his BFF.Funny how since Leon is finally interacting with other Belmonts they show that they all have deep lore about the belmont family including Leon's family. This means that the Belmonts know that Dracula was an old friend of the family and they know that under the GOOD VS EVIL premise they all know there's a memey ex-friend feud undertone going on between belmonts and dracula.must be why dracula is extra pissy to belmonts but when he confronts non-belmonts like shanoa or hector he's much more chill.
>>750205821>>750205825>old game bad>pls buy new gamehi shills
>>750205721>>750205821>>750205825>defeat Death>he literally goes NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IT DIDN'T COUNT HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA and refuses to enter the tarot card zoom callwhat the fuck is his problem?
>>750206026He's busy
>>750197969I really could do without the precision platforming bullshitI love castlevania games but I hate precision platforming, I bought the game for castlevania, not celeste/hollow knight bullshitIt doesn't help that the game's platforming mechanics are a little clunky, the whip grapple is a little wonky at times
>>750205721Yeah, it's clear they didn't give a fuck. Most cutscenes are Leon says "thing", Joan of Arc says "thing is correct" so that a woman can say "thing" and then medusa says "no thing will kill you huehuehue" in the stupidest way possible.I never skip scenes in games, but I have found myself hurrying this garbage along
The isaac fight in the clock tower was really fun, hits hard, great speed.i think they should have given you the double jump and air dash way earlier in the game, so they could have designed more bosses to be that fast and aggressive
Might be the most boring fucking castle in the seriesJust becomes so so so repetitive with zero variety to show for it outside of mirror gimmick
>>750197969>Isaac fight is amazing and a neat callback to CoD's clock tower boss>No innocent devil 2x1
>>750205721This is the most based Death has ever been tho.
>>750202898you technically do that in BC for every hallway with enemies in it though
>>750206524say what you want about the netflix series but death was also incredibly based in it
>>750206391>>750206349yep thats genuinely the only good boss in the game and he was too easy
>>750206532you can even do it with the crissaegrim itself!no seriously the platforming puzzle in this game is tame as fuck. the problem is the MASSIVE reuse of sawblades and spikes aethetically, not the puzzles itself.>aim funky light whip>have 90 fucking minutes to figure out the next location to go because the swing is slow as fuck>if you spam grapple on the general fucking QUADRANT of a shiny thing it latches
>>750206696There are no based characters in the nigflix cartoon.
>>750206524Yeah he's just dracula's bitch normally but this game shows him as a force of nature. It's really cool how he broke out of the tarot card and tells Rose straight up he will come for her sooner or later it doesn't matter in the end.
>>750206696I understand you don't like Belmont's Curse but quit trying to conflate everything with the Netflix cartoon.
>>750206847female not-guts was pretty cool thougheverbeit
>>750206696drunkard death should have been death post 1999 not 1400s death. dude has JUST seen Drac bite it for the first time, no reason to rape my ears yet.
>>750206696>>750206847Samefag getting desperate.
>>750206935>OC donusteel
>>750206847Isaac Black was incredibly based
>>750206860Charon also says Dracula is like a little kid compared to them. Really cool to be reminded that Dracula is still mortal at the end of the day.
>>750206996yes, the OC that is not the raping of lore of an existing character is one of the few good parts of the show anon
>>750207032>Dracula's god hating 1000 years long tantrum that repeatedly shits all over humanity is enabled by Death>Charon is just chill and offers bus rides for the deadNo seriously what the FUCK is Death's problem? Lots of people die because he keeps reviving Dracula for 10 minutes every 100 years wtf.
Isaac's fight was flashy but at best it just reminded me of a more boring Mantis Lords/Cogwork Dancers. Which is actually quite a compliment comparing it those two fights.And JESUS FUCK the song for that fight was utter dogshit.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Un8AyZ-TwR0Like what the fuck is this? Almost every boss fight was equally ruined by such shitty tracks.
Is the IRL lore on Medusa that she is a liar or something? Why does she act so surprised when Rose believes her for once?
>>750208978No, they just don't know how to write properly, so instead of her telling lies and the player realising it, she has to openly say "I AM A LIAR" when you first meet her so you know she is always lying.It's crap.
>>750206026He's just that cool
>>750207262I guess he likes it when people die? could be that the souls of the dead make him more powerful or something like that
>>750205721Personally it's not lines like these that bothered me, I like how cheesy and melodramatic they are. What i couldn't stand was the attempts at humor
>>750207046>the OC that is made to utilize the coolness that was taken from the now emasculated existing characters is one of the few good partsMmmmmm...nah. Go fuck off to where you came from, tourist.
>>750199261>>750202918>>750206152Why is Celeste being grouped with Hollow Knight all of a sudden? You guys talk as if HK is all about precision platforming in rooms full of saws but I don't remember any of it outside of a single area, the white palace. The rest of the game had really basic platforming for the most part. In fact, outside of the DLC content and the coliseum, HK is pretty easy overall unlike Silksong
>>750207891Fart music
>>750201590The way she actually has the OG Carmilla mask is very soulful.
>>750197969DEIvania

I'm loving it so far.
>>750202676>>750202969Remember when he was basically begging people on twitter to watch his show?
>>750207891I kinda like this song, unlike many others you guys used as examples. Doesn't fit Castlevania at all and is not even a good boss song though. It's more like a middle of the level outside of combat song.
>>750209802>instead of her telling lies and the player realising it, she has to openly say "I AM A LIAR" when you first meet her so you know she is always lying.And then she never fucking lies after that scene.
>>750211048It's woke because they made her a manface manbody
>>750211313She looks like a fridge-bodied version of that girl from Frozen.
>>750211378>that girl from FrozenWhich one?
Why /v/ playing this wokeslop?
>>750211504the ginger one
>>750205371There's a Castlevania game coming out next year not made by Konami so nothing
>>750211535It's not. It's a reddit raid by weirdoes who can't believe that the game they got emotionally attached to might flop, so they are "correcting the record"
>>750197969Is it one of those floor is lava platformers? I hate that shit
>>750211538Oh you mean Rose i thought you meant Carmilla
>>750211618No, but plenty of spiked walls.Honestly the platforming feels amazing when you find that groove.
>>750211651oh sorry, I didn't follow the thread back. oops
>>750202918>experimented a tonCopying indie platformer gimmicks is not experimentation, stop pretending to be retarded
>>750211082>>750211673Are you, perchance, having a blast?Would you consider it a love letter to the fans?A return to form, perhaps?
>>750211618No. It's a super baby version of Celeste at worst.
>>750211782A blast? Yes.Love letter? Perhaps. It does feel good to see all the old enemies and hear the old music again.Return to form? Sure. Way better than Lords of Shadow 2, anyway.
>>750207891At least Insane Aristocracy wasn't raped.
>>750211230Yeah at worst she lies by omitting context, but everything she says is true lmoa
>>750197969Well you can tune the difficulty however you like until it feels right. Which is bad apparently.
>>750197969woke horny garbage
>>750197969This game looks like it was made for proud independent white leftist lesbian
>>750211110
>>750197969So is this like traditional castlevania or deadcell/silksong?
>>750212006But made by horny Frenchmen.
>>750212019There it is!
>>750212090deadcell/silksong
>>750212090It's just dead cells yeah
>>750212019was it seriously that bad? i saw that juste is in it which is cool and i remember richter having some cool combat animations

We've lived long enough to see Tumblr art in an official Castlevania game...

>>750212672???
>>750212694Payment?
>>750210906/v/ doesn't play videogames anymore, when they think of platforming they think of the last 2 modern-ish games they saw at GDQ that had platforming in them (Hollow Knight and Celeste).
>>750212602>>750212664
>>750212694You do realize one of the posts you replied to is making fun of the character designs not being hot right?
>>750212743>I'm innocent of literally everything that's going on, I'm just here to speak only positively about [game]
>that one guy who shits up every thread
>>750212827What making fun? Rose is hot as Hell.>>750212832Pretty much, yeah. I've been waiting over a decade for a new Castlevania, and it was worth it.
>>750210906Shitposters don't play any game they shit on. I have seen people call Belmont's Curse a fucking soulslike lmao
>>750212891what don't you like about it?
>>750213003Ironically, the music. The tracks aren't bad, they're just way too short for how long you stay in each area.Except Main Hall. Thats a fucking awesome version of Bloody Tears.
>>750213070>Thats a fucking awesome version of Bloody Tears.wew lad okay
>>750213124To be fair, there are no bad versions of that song.
>>750210906Celeste popularized precision platforming in recent yearsHK DID have it, while it wasn't as much, it had it, with mechanics like the down strike revolving around it, and as you said Silksong had way moreIt is not unheard of for games in the industry to inflate one aspect of a popular game thinking that is what made it popular
>>750198884What a fucking dork
>>750213070>the only thing I don't like is that the music isn't long enoughI hate shills so fucking much
>>750212456reminder that Deats also didn't write anything he was more involved with the animation side of things
>>750197969Honestly I also got filtered because the game is so fucking boring and the artstyle looks either ugly or unfinished (probably why the camera is so far away). I gave up with the soundtrack after three hours and use a mod to change the music but the locations and enemies are way too similar while the dialogue is obnoxious. It honestly made me want to play the classicvanias I still haven't played or replay Bloodborne yet again.
>>750213294What? Everything else is pretty great. I particularly like the new version of Talos and how you fought him.
>>750210906HK had pogo and spikes which did factor into its platforming. But comparisons are surface level only as Belmont's Curse has other factors such as momentum and holy light.
Game so far for me is just horribly mid>terrible soundtrack>really beautiful backgrounds contrasted by absolutely shitty looking models>awful enemy variety>weapons are uninteresting, each new weapon is just higher damage except for the legendary at the end of each category>accessories are all boring uninteresting slop like "+25% damage in the air" or "+20% damage after killing an enemy">too much precision platforming, 90% of upgrades and weapons/etc. are only behind a platforming puzzle and no combat>traversal and exploration is horrifically linear and uninteresting, what backtracking you do when gaining new powers is literally just for side content/upgrades>painfully short
>>750213568Cast a spell on me...
Left can't create, only destroy
>>750213568boobs
>>750198884Fucking grim
>>750213563Average playthrough is the same length as SotN at least in my experience. Also I think the castle is really well designed. Lots of good back tracking and interconnectedness as you open up more shortcuts and get new abilities.
>>750213563I agree with everything except for it being painfully short. I've been playing it for 20 hours and still haven't beaten it. But then again i am always really slow with games
>>750213971I got 100% in 14 hours
>>750213913Something i really liked about the castle was the puzzle elements it has. You don't see a lot of puzzles in Castlevania games but i found them fun
>>750211535/v/ here, I played this game to completion. it's an alright castlemania. 8/10 too many spikes.
>>750198002Ishikawa literally hard carries the character.
>>750214059My personal rating would be 6 or 7. Nothing special but the modern standards for games are so low that this is above average to good
>>750203306>People want unique weapons, not 7 weapon classesPeople hate most of the series?
>>750213563>too much precision platformingI typically don't mind precision platforming but there's something about BC's that i absolutely cannot standIt's samey as fuck, whip control can be extremely sluggish, there are no interesting traversal upgrades and it overuses saws and spikes to the point it looks comedic.I've spent way more time on the hardest Lost Crown platforming sections but none of them tired me the same way as simply moving around in BC did.

>>750214270Alucard is hot
>>750214367You have whip, double jump, holy light, slide, and air dash. What more do you need without overcomplicating things?
>>750205371>so what should they do differently next time?>differentlyThey should make 2 or 3 more games of the same style that people loved before doing anything different. Just give Team Ladybug a budget, some art and UX designers and let them make a "not-SotN". Have M2 make 1 or 2 classicvanias, then maybe experiment with whatever they fucking want and plan the series forward.
Rose looks like a dude in a wig

>>750214867He himself is just as twinkish, he just looks bad because he turned into that werewolf thing, he just jelly
>>750214720>bunch of words that mean nothingThat's every piece of dialogue in this game
>>750214720Bot
>>750214651Slide is barely used in platforming. Double jump and air dash are used extremely sparingly in the last 30% of the game. The core "platforming" mechanics are almost entirely related to whip (clunky shit with massive startup frames) and holy light (basically worse Lost Crown clairvoyance). Play Lost Crown and see what i mean by good platforming since that game juggles a far larger skill set.
>>750215171Retard.
>>750214990>Better Hold up there nigga, Bloodstained has its own share of fuckups, it's just a different kind of bad but still bad too.
>>750197969Same. I got it on release night and got filtered by the first boss. This shit is not my beloved Castlevania. The art and music is so fucking bland and soulless.
>>750212456Would be a shame if someone reported his ass to Konami that he is making political statements while featuring their characters.
>>750215173Slide is used a decent amount for what it is. Usually to get under low ceilings or spike wheels while on a timer.Holy light blocks are spammed everywhere.Air dash starts being used everywhere past library, which is just halfway. The only valid point is double jump being a lategame unlock. But again more is not better. People keep forgetting the best platformers have very little mechanics. Meatboy just has jump / wall jump for instance.
>>750215316Do it, man. That would be so epic! Imagine his face when Konami is like "not today, friendo!" lmao
750215208Silly bot pretending it is human.
>>750214270Bitches can't resist the Alucard rizz.Maria never stood a chance.
>>750200108Wait how short is this game?I'm not one of those people who assume single player games are going to be played forever but I thought it would at least last most people a couple of weekends.
>>750215430Here you go, retard.>>750215208
>>750215431So is the Alucard design change canon or a retcon?
>>750215474It's pretty short as is usual for Castlevania games. You can beat it in a week easily
>>750202918There's like three schools of castlevania games and no one likes one of them.
>>750215494What change? He looks exactly like he did in Symphony.
>>750202918"Let's make the next Shinobi a Metroidvania" wasn't the same as "Let's cram Hollow Knight into Castlevania".
>>750211378>She looks like a fridge-bodied versionHer waist is real fucking slim and she has extremely wide hips. Did you actually play the game?
>>750215474>Wait how short is this game?doesn't matter. It becomes a chore after hour 4.
>>750215494You mean Genya Arikado?That's just his casual clothes, he isnt going to do groceries all clad in armor with coat, sword and shield.
>>750215474About 15 hours to 100%, which is plenty
>>750215579>Did you actually play the game?do people need to play the game to look at a picture?Is this bot broken?
>>750205721lol what did they do to him
>>750215575Shinobi wasn't a metroidvania. It's got very light elements of the genre that only really applies to replaying levels
>>750198884Why are the characters so fucking small
>>750206696No. Absolutely fucking not.You can defend this game all you want but Netflix Death is absolute vomit.
Alucard is technically Rose's uncle right?
>>750215682>do people need to play the game to look at a picture?No. But then what made you think she has anything even remotely resembling a fridge body?
>>750214270You know this shit kinda reminds me of Indivisible
750215484Damn it's desperate for (You)s too.
>>750215796>Noso why say it?
I can barely remember the Netflix show anymore. Was Death the final boss?
>>750202619Yes. Both Silksong and Hollow Knight had very similar levels.
>>750215860Concession accepted you mind broken retard.>>750215484
>>750215795is he is then by that logic leon is alucard's uncle
>>750215934Yes. He was funny.
>>750214270>autists can't make sense of a throwaway gag
>>750215934yes.good fightI dunno why he was drunk though
750216017Get off my dick, bot.
>>750197969Finished this and after it and Silksong I'm fucking DONE with souls like action focused Metroidvanias.Give me exploration based Metroidvanias NOW
>>750216132Ravenous is, like, in 3 months bro
>>750214867Grandpa just wants to hunt to night, he's had enough of vampire tricks
>>750215861>so why say it?You don't need to have played it to look at the pictures. But the pictures clearly show that she has no fucking fridge body. So either you haven't even looked on the pictures. Or you're retarded. Possibly both.
>>750212365Wasn't it the one where a couple twinks rape dracula?
>>750216169I loved Dread but I'm not buying Shitch 2 for one game, sorry
>>750216286I hope we see more of beast mode leon in the future. he's neat.
>>750216132Silksong is as exploration as it gets>>750216169This is more action
>>750216132here you go fren
>>750216098How mad are you over my post laughing at the shit writing that you keep going? Are you the writer for the game?>>750216017
>>750216303>You don't need to have played it to look at the pictures.I know, so why did you say it? Like, what was your reasoning for saying something so strange?
>>750216367Leon deserved a proper game. I will never forgive Iga for this ps2 trash.
>>750215372>Slide is used a decent amount for what it isIn the actual platforming challenges i remember slide being used roughly 3 times. It is mostly used as a one way shortcut traversal tool.>Air dash starts being used everywhere past libraryIt is actually optional for quite some time in future platforming challenges since they still plaster a shit ton of whip access points everywhere>Holy light blocks are spammed everywhere.And it's still shit, worse clairvoyance from LC.
>>750216359If you're talking about Alucard, that was the original show. Richter was in Castlevania: Nocturne, which I never saw
>>750216379this woman is the reason why I'm so weak to elves and so resistant to vampires and demons
750216381Jesus christ it's slobbering all over my cock.
>>750215416Sent it to Konami's corporate email.You all should too, be civil and don't use bad language.
>>750216359no that's Portrait of Ruin
>>750213913compare the 100% playthroughs of both games
>>750216462>Bro the movement abilities are barely used!>They are used as soon as you get them>BUT THEY SUCK WAAAHAgain, more does not equal better. I will not repeat myself or feed (You)s a third time.
>>750216608JONATHAN! GRAB HIS COCK!CHARLOTTE! PEE ON HIM!
>>750216632>The core "platforming" mechanics are almost entirely related to whip (clunky shit with massive startup frames) and holy light (basically worse Lost Crown clairvoyance)>gives no counter arguments>starts predictably shitposting
>>750216578>say the game is for retarded women because of the writing>some troon gets mind raped into replying to me for half an hour with no substanceIt's impressive how mentally ill people will be on a Hungarian horse breeding forum.>>750216381
>>750216401>I know, so why did you say it?I didn't say it. I made the assumption that he/you hadn't played the game. Behind that assumption, was an assumption that you hadn't even looked at footage. Because the footage clearly shows, that his/your claim of her body was utter bullshit. So given that we all agree that looking at pictures is enough. Why make such a retarded claim? You people just lie about Carmilla. Or the game at large.
>>750199261doesn't know about mirror teleportation
>>750216796>I didn't say itYes, you did. Here:>>750215579>Did you actually play the game?
>>750216687>Ignoring how air dash, holy light, and double jump get used as soon as they are introducedIt's amazing how much leftist discourse is pretending not to understand simple things.
>>750217045You are literally brain damaged or simply incapable of reading. Pick one.
Stop acting like fucking retards and start posting pics of Shanoa's ass instead
>>750217012Is>Did you actually play the game?the same thing as >do people need to play the game to look at a picture?or >>750216401>>You don't need to have played it to look at the pictures.? No. I said >Did you actually play the game? questioning whether he/you even played the game. And whether or not he has looked at footage. Is separate. Though behind my question, was a pretty transparent doubt on this too. That he/you hadn't even looked at footage. So no. I never said that. And you're being retarded. Probably on purpose.
>>750217207There's another thread up now that's filled with fewer schizos
>>750217225This is just pathetic. What the fuck are you doing?
He's the one that built all those spikes and saw mazes.say "thank you".
>>750217225>So no. I never said that. And you're being retarded. Probably on purpose.Yes, you did. Here:>>750215579>Did you actually play the game?were the exact words you said
>>750217382You looked cooler in HoD. Awesome boss fight though.
>>750217382Merci
>>750215563>>750215620No i mean the change from CV3 to SOTN
>>750217406>>Did you actually play the game?>were the exact words you saidYes. I said that. And notice how those words are not the same as these >>750215682>do people need to play the game to look at a picture?words. So when I replied to >>do people need to play the game to look at a picture?with >>750215796>No. But then what made you think she has anything even remotely resembling a fridge body?why did you reply with >>750215861>>No>so why say it?fucking retard.
>>750217595Thats been canon since 1997.
>>750217610>>750217225wowThis bot is broken as fuck
>>750217682Having played the game, is not the same thing as having looked at pictures. So why did you equate the two?
>>750216132How does Silksong not have enough exploration? Do you need the yellow paint, anon?

I'm admittedly bad at parrying so the game isn't fun at the point they throw a bunch of knee-jerk reaction time attacking enemies at you.
my main complain is that fast travel should have been a feature, the fact that you have to physically move all the way from one point to another becomes tiresome quickly when backtracking, specially when every other run is a platforming challenge, which I don't mind, but having to do the same challenges back and forth just to traverse is tedious. Many times I just killed myself in order to return to the safe points because just walking back several runs is a waste of time.
Regardless of what any of you actually think of Belmont's Curse. Good or bad. I hope we can all agree that Belmont's Curse trying to do something different, is/was preferable over Belmont's Curse just being Bloodstained but worse, right?
Good songs>Cemetery >Clock Tower>Hall of Mirrors>True Ending CreditsShit songs>the rest
>>750218568I agree
>>750218568wait I thought you old school gaymers love friction in your games
>>750212456>>750216603Send Konami a little notice
They should make a Castlevania gacha game
>>750218568>my main complain is that fast travel should have been a featureThe game has two fast travel systems. So it is a feature.
>>750218621Yeah i can agree with that. I think Iga's crew are the only people autistic enough to properly make a game like that
>>750218669Please stop assuming everyone here is the same person
>>750218621yea i would've understood the hate if BC was just a shitty igavania when bloodstained exists
>>750218621That's my opinion. I get just wanting SotN again because the formula works that well, but I prefer something different
It’s a mix of dead cells and metroidvania because it’s made by the dead cells guys. It’s a good game but I do think it’s a bit overshadowed in its own genre nowadays.
>>750214367imo some of the difference with The Lost Crown is that its upgrades are generally far more creative and its development team has significantly more experience with platformers. I think if someone played it and didn't know that it was made by the Rayman team they would still probably come away from it with that suspicion
I want more Metroidvania. I always get a taste for more after finishing one
>mfw this gameWhat are some good -actual- Castlevania games outside Konami stuff.Classicvania or SOTNVania both works.I've already played Chronicles of the Wolf (great game) and have Wallachia and Lecard Chronicles 1&2 on my backlog. Bloodstained along with the two Curse of the Moons maybe?
>>750218695no it's not, at best you can teleport to sub areas of the map you are currently exploring, and even then it takes 2 different loading screens + whatever time it takes you to walk to the actual mirrors to get to where you want. It was poorly implemented and more of a hassle than a feature.Fast travel would be, open your map, select where you want to go, and get teleported there immediately.
>>750219218what castlevania game has that kind of teleport
>>750218621I honestly don't know.Trying to make an Igavania without Iga is not a good plan, but turning Castlevania into Dead Cells/Hollow Knight is not a good outcome either because those play and feel even less like either Classicvania or Igavania.I would have honestly preferred if they tried a completely new format at this point because to me it's a lot more offensive to have an official Castlevania game ape its inferior derivatives while shrouding itself (or at least try to) in a veneer of legitimacy in the eyes of actual fans who've been already served a long lineup of appalling shit ever since Lords of Shadow.The only positive thing I can say about it is that it's really not more Lords of Shadow, or the unholy abomination that is Netflixvania, but we're still not in a good place right now.
game had a surprising amount of soulwish bosses were a bit harder though since you either outdamage most of them or can just tank shit through with brittle armor
>>750197969That doesn't sound hard it sounds boring as shit lmao
>>750219134Bloodstained games are good, yeah. Maybe try Infernax and Touhou Luna Nights as well.
>>750219085i tried metroid dread as my first metroid game after BC and got kinda bored after 3-4 hours, i hate how many gimmicks they give youthe transform into a ball to plant mines to reveal hidden walls made me lose interest hard. I also didn't like how parry centric the game is with regular enemies
>>750218321THANK YOU!
>>750219218>to the actual mirrors to get to where you want.It's pure soul
>>750218621I broadly agree with that in theory, but for me part of the issue is that its manner of doing something "different" largely feels like lifting bits and pieces from a bunch of other games I've already played before
>>750204873Almost as good as the E33 OST
>>750202557Konami whored out their IPs to pachinko slot machines for a decade.Their opinion doesn't fucking matter.
>>750218635Man I wish we got to see non corrupted Leon by the end. Best boy deserved better.
>>750218621>These completely reasonable replies both agreeing and disagreeing in a civil mannerAnd then they call you crazy when you say there are touristfags shitting up these threadsAnyway i have to both agree and disagree. I agree on the gameplay part of the equation because i don't think anyone but Iga can really make an Igavania work, but i wish the "vibe" of the game wasn't so different (mainly the music)
>>750219567Dread is good, but it's also very linear until late game. Made me want to hold off on exploration. Older games were at least better about hiding the separation in the map. I will say that the controls are top tier and the moveset gets amazing. It's incredible that the developer behind THE WORST CV game made a great Metroid game
>>750219635I wonder if thats why I like this so much. I never played Dead Cells.
>>750219584She absorbed too many glyphs
>>750219805Yeah I also didn't like how linear it is. Usually when you see a teleport in CV you still explore some more to see if you missed anything, in Dread they force you to take it. I'll give it another shot after a few days I guess
>>750219805It's all about tardwrangling. Devs shouldn't have complete freedom on their projects.
>>750218621Why couldn't it have been bloodstained, but better? What we got was shit, and it wasn't trying something different. It was a dead cells dev doing dead cells
>>750202557Konami is wrong.
>>750219604no it's not, going through 2 loading screens every time, it was annoying as fuck, not to mention you don't unlock the full hall of mirrors until you release the mirror lady which is really late game. Unless you waited until the very end to do all the backtracking then is pretty much useless.>>750219289SOTN has the library cards you could use to teleport from anywhere to the library which was close enough to teleport room, hell it even let you go back from the second to the first castle. Beats killing yourself because you hit another dead end on my book.
>>750220431You can enter the hall of mirrors at the beginning of the game if you want. Only the actual lower dungeon and 4 main teleports are locked.
>>750219584Shanoa… easy on the killer fish BBQ!
>>750202417yeah it's a bing bing wahoo mixed with dracula
>>750220713no, you can't move between areas within the hall of mirrors until the mirror lady is freed/the succubus is defeated.
>>750197969I got filtered at the store page when I saw that was the protag.
Im about 3 hours in and it's not a bad game by any means but I can tell it's going to be like Dead Cells or Hallow Knight for me and end up being utterly forgettable. I still go back and replay most of the classic and iganavanias often. I also replay most Metroid games. But the only indie Metroidavnia I replay is Environmental Station Alpha. ( And Cave Story but that doesn't count)
>>750220715
>>750219218>Fast travel would be, open your map, select where you want to go, and get teleported there immediately.Fast travel between fixed fast travel points is still fast travel. Fast travel doesn't need to be fast travel to anywhere from anywhere.
>>750219289None.Blade Chimera does.
>>750221605well, ok whatever, I just think the map is big enough to welcome a "open the map and select where you want to go and get teleported there immediately" feature.
>>750218621This is such a weird take, first because it assumes that it can't possibly be on the same level as bloodstained when the igavania formula isn't really that hard to land, if it were, a single french guy wouldn't have done game a free game like Lecarde's Chronicle 2 with it's own spin on the formula. I'd rather just have the game feature what the series is known for(huge bestiary, good music, lots of broken tools) than it just feel like a mishmash of all of these thousands of metroidvanias out there because if I wanted I could just play those while castlevania-ish games are really rare.
>>750219839It doesn't even feel that much like Dead Cells to be fair. It feels a lot more like Rogue Prince of Persia, or more than that, The Lost Crown.
>>750222036>the igavania formula isn't really that hard to land,No one else has really done it right.
>>750220110>Why couldn't it have been bloodstained, but better?Because Igarashi's team aren't working with Konami and likely never will. AND even if they were. It'd be at the expense of Bloodstained. So we wouldn't even really be winning anything.
>>750221176She’s so cute and autistic. Rose could never.
>>750221751Unironically the worst thing about Blade Chimera. Which kind of sucks, because the game is awesome otherwise. But you kind of don't explore ever in Blade Chimera. You just move forward and then teleport back and forth to key points whenever you've found the keys. And you never wander blindly because you'll just teleport.
>>750222274That's because Rose is made for bad ends
Why do people say there's no weapon variety in this game? There's 8 different weapon types and then 4 different sub types with their own abilities. And each weapon type has unique movesets not just a thrust either. That's more than something like AoS.
>>750222339Do we have any art of fully corrupted Rose?
>>750222429>4 different sub types with their own abilitiesLook I think the weapon variety is fine but lying like this doesn't do you any favors.
>>750222124No one is really trying to do it. Igavanias are fun, but Metroidvanias have widespread appeal (actual platforming and difficulty). Like I love Igavanias, but I'm content with bloodstained being the content for now.
>>750222036Not to say that no one can ever do Igavanias better than Iga's team. When has anyone ever done it? And why would you expect Konami or anyone they contract, to be able to do it? Seems like a very poor bet to me. Iga's team were the best at it in the best. And they're still the best at it today. And no one has ever one-upped them as of yet.
>>750222468Castlevania is cursed with only fujo art
>>750222504It's a half lie. The level 4 weapons do have special effects their preceding versions don't.
>>750222274Autistic as fuck girl with the body of a supermodel was not something i knew i was into until i played OOE
I never finished OoE
>>750222623Yeah, but personally I wouldn't consider those to be distinct weapons. In the same vein I'd put the Icebrand and Alucard Sword from SotN as the same weapon.
I like Rose.
>>750222957I never beat any of the DS games.
>>750223000I'd like her more if she showed cleavage.
>>750223230Rose is all about the thighs.
>>750223360The tight crotch.
>>750223360Seems like a mistake to always draw her from the waist up, then.
>>750223000Me too. Sypha was a total babe and I love her
>>750197969I got filtered by the demo not being fun to play
>>750223670
>>750218621>I hope we can all agree that Belmont's Curse trying to do something different, is/was preferable over Belmont's Curse just being Bloodstained but worse, right?Not really, what we got was pretty weak and had some awful gameplay design. Next time Konami should hire Team Ladybug or even Migami Games to make new Castlevania games.
>>750224282do they make metroidvania games with anime girls?
>>750224478>metroidvania games with anime girls?Team Ladybug made 2 metroidvania games with anime girls, one of them is even a touhou one. Migami made a Contra with Castlevania aesthetics and the FeMC had a Miriam costume.
>>750224282Wonder labyrinth was worse than BC I am not sure why peope glaze it so much.
>>750197969Cant get past the mobile tier graphics.
>want to brush up on some lore before bed>bring up fan wiki on my phoneHoly mother of God. How do people live without adblock
>>750224785>Wonder labyrinth was worse than BCIn what way?
>>750224896>Linear exploration>Half baked Ikaruga system with baby's first bullet hell gimmicks>Even easier than SotN>No interesting movement/ability upgradesIt was fun for what it was, that is a love letter to fans of the franchise as an interquel, but otherwise it was thorougly mediocre.
>>750203821i don't play moe shit
>>750223360The Sonia skin is the only way to see them bare.
>>750205721death has always been a prima donnahe has oneitis for dracula
>>750205857>dracula is extra pissy to belmonts but when he confronts non-belmonts like shanoa or hector he's much more chill.old money always looks down on new money
Pirated this game and played it as far as the castle. Half an hour into Dracula's castle, and it fucking stinks. The paris bits were so much better.Maybe that's why it doesn't feel like castlevania game to many people.Either way, it's a solid 4/10. Not sure I will even finish it, because the only interesting character is Leon and everything he says seems to be followed by Joan saying "he's not lying" like anyone fucking cares, then medusa being so quirky chungus for no reason.
is the place in hall of mirrors the belmont castle? they are way too richdo they even have a castle
>>750225059Also I forgot to add there is essentially only two weapon types. Most of your upgrades are in magic, but magic (equivalent of souls/tarot cards) is also grossly overpowered.
>>750225530It's a manor but yes
>>750225530I mean Leon was a baron and high ranking knight so he would be well off. I'd assume the other Belmonts just inherited his title and land after he fucked off to hunt Mathias.
Speaking of the hall of mirrors how the fuck do you get into the room with the big Alucard painting?
>>750225510>Pirated this gamethen you have no right to talk about it, simple as
>>750225059>>750225542I agree with all of these but Belmont's Curse goes way too far in the other direction with it's modern influences and then it doesn't really feel like Castlevania at all. I feel like Team Ladybug has the foundations but just need to tardwrangle them a bit to make it truly special.
>>750225510>The paris bits were so much better.Unusual opinion. But ok. The pre-castle parts are easily the worst in the game.
>>750225631I disagree. If he played it then he can share his thoughts about it
>>750225614This one stumped me too. Find the mirror showing the painting and kneel in front of it.
>>750225824ok thanks
>>750223934...This is all that's on offer? Where's the fucking skin? Is this what gamers have to look forward to? A crumb of feminine form?
>>750225675We will agree to disagree I suppose. I feel BC devs can tone it back and make it more like Igavania. The foundations are all there they just chose not to go down that path. Team Ladybug meanwhile has a long way to go up, having to improve exploration, level design, combat, enemy encounter design, essentially everything but the sprite graphics.
>>750225542Why is ’’lots of weapon options’’ seen as a positive? Do people only switch weapons that often? The moment i got the vampire slayer I didn’t play anything else. BC weapon system is shit despite having lots of options. Lots of games with only one weapon type are way better than it.
I used to be a hater, but then I decided to actually play the game, and..wow. I think this might be my new favourite Castlevania now (my favourite is SCIV and it replaces SOTN). It's just so fluid and there's so much to see and do, and the characters are treated so much better than the stupid leaks said they would. Playing this game is like a dream. I even like the music, it's so deep and brooding, but with a modern edge to it. I hated the netflix shit, but this gets everything so very right. If I had to give a negative, I would say that it's not quite long enough, but that just means I can wait eagerly for the DLC for new modes or maybe new maps. It's a great time to be a Castlevania fan, and they really knocked it out of the park with this one!I'd recommend that haters at least try it. it just might surprise you.
>>750225614>alucardbro..that's not him
>>750226127There is having too many weapons then there is only having one weapon animation with the only difference being range and speed.
>>750226146i don't even know if this is a r*ddit copypasta but i agree the leakers were so disingenuous it's crazyyou'd think rose is the worst MC to exist and that she hates the belmonts, i remember people saying that she declares the belmont clan will no longer hunt the night or something which is completely false
>>750226498We had a guy yesterday double down and insist Sypha died due to childbirth to shill Rose. And even earlier Anons were claiming Trevor died so Rose could replace him as a girlboss. The shitposting against this game has been insane.
>>750226631>Sypha died due to childbirthShe did, didn't she? Medusa said that giving birth to Rose weakened her enough for the curse to get her?
>>750226928Trevor tells you what really happened.

>>750227074Trevor just said Rose didn't kill her. Not that Sypha didn't die from the birth. It's a perspective of blame. Not on the circumstances.
Can someone post Fallen's concept art? I heard it was more obvious he was Leon in early designs
>>750227373Rose says she's sorry for killing Sypha.Trevor asks her wtf she's talking about.Rose says she caused Sypha to be weakened and die from childbirth Trevor says Rose had nothing to do with it. Sypha died from the curse.
>>750212456Jesus fucking Christ.
>>750225059>Half baked Ikaruga system with baby's first bullet hell gimmicksAlready sounds more original than anything in BC
>>750227574He was alleviating Rose's guilt. When women die in childbirth, they don't die from having the child, they die from being weakened or from complications. It IS true that she died in childbirth
>>750227660Okay there Medusa.
>>750227660Wouldn't the one to blame be Trevor for impregnating her in the first place? Rose is out of the question because she wasn't even sentient
>>750227630Original doesn't mean good. Holy light is original too.
>>750227752Well, no. Dracula would be the one to "blame" for cursing her. It wouldn't be anyone's fault but his.
>>750227574>Trevor says Rose had nothing to do with it. Sypha died from the curse.From the curse. Because of the childbirth. Both can be true. But it's pretty diabolical to blame the baby and not the curse.
>>750227660No I mean the curse literally killed her. Unless you are saying Trevor is lying.
>>750227778True
>>750227863Yeah, the curse literally killed her, but she died in childbirth. Both things are true. Like I said, it's very rarely the child that actually kills the mother when people die in childbirth IRL. The act of having the baby is overwhelming, and other complications kill the woman.it's never the baby's fault though, that would be weird.
>>750227764Holy light is a shitty clairvoyance copycat from lost crown
>>750227954No she did not die in childbirth. Trevor explicitly says so.
>>750228064And sylph and salamander is just watered down polarity without grazing.
>>750228301
>>750200108Dead cells performance to compare? Same studio, right?
>>750205721it's castlevania, shit writing is a staple of the series
>>750205721reponses to this are very telling as to the kind of "people" we are dealing with in these threads. I hope they leave soon.
>>750229181Normal people? Yeah, they'll disappear soon. All that will remain are schizos with an agenda
Why do I always see a bunch of posts from EU hours bitching about the soundtrack? Why? It's got techno elements in it? Since when have you retards produced anything besides UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ electronic earrape bullshit anytime in living memory? Your great great grandad before WW1? This shit was made by and specifically for you.
Will he ever return?
>>750225592The church would’ve confiscated his property after he was excommunicated and he was orphan who was elevated to the noble class by virtue of his heroics.
>>750229245So it is a bit vague on when she died (during childbirth or after), but it's pretty clear Dracula's curse is what got to her and not the birth itself. But yeah blaming Rose for that is wild.
>>750229540Please don't generalize people. That helps no one
>>750229540Hey, I didn't subscribe to that shit! It's not bad, but I'm not a big fan of the soundtrack. Not that I remember any music other than classicvania and SOTN
>>750229545They could have made an exception for him since he literally dedicated his life to hunting Dracula, no? In the later games the Church is very deferrent to the Belmonts at least.
If Rose is canon then Carrie and Reinhardt are canon too. It’s only fair.
>>750229641who's blaming Rose, though?
>>750229759Every single character is canon if you believe so. Authors can't put limits on what you consider to be the story
>>750216359you have it backward, it was Alucard not draculAalso it was consensual not rape
>>750229882Medusa. Herself.
>>750229545The belmonts were not excommunicated. You're a netflixfag
About to start my 3rd Castlevania game this month and you know what? The dagger is shit, it will always be shit and it should be deleted, the cross replaces it completely.>inb4 the dagger super move from SotN Richter mode or Rondo or whateverI didn't say the super move, I said the dagger
>>750230275I'm convinced the dagger was designed as an obstacle you are supposed to avoid
>>750229545Retard
>>750225530if true, they live in an annoying to navigate place
>>750225530Well yeah, The Belmont family is filthy rich. All that monster hunting resource and family status has to come from somewhere.
>>750230173the game is based of Netflixvania's loreeven Sipha and Trevor's models are the same
>>750230971It really doesn't and they really aren't
>>750230971Anon thats curse of darkness Trevor but old That's also cod isaac And that carmilla is the usual castlemania carmilla not a turbo femcel
>>750217382thank you for making a castle made for vampires so dangerous to navigate hope you add crosses and holywater next time, big guy
>>750227558
>>750231021>>750231082too late >>750198884netflixvania is now the new canon
>>750230773it's just the belmont house but distorted since it pulls from roses memories and makes it a nightmare
>>750217382I'm glad this dude finally has a decent boss fight. The one in HoD kind of sucked
>>750230389>get cross or axe>dagger is like two steps away under a candle with a bat or crow conveneniently arcing into the candles pathI've been saying this for years. They were especially trolling in CV1 and 3.
>>750197969whats with the hades art
>>750231306I wish they went with the beast head during the fight and he reverted back to human face after you put him in the card
>>750198884I risk gettin banned for sayin this but fuck it, jannies love this trash game and will astroturf it to obvlivion
>>750231421they're reddit raiders and shills, anon. It's been going on for days.
>>750230173Yes they were.
>>750231317>shot down>meanwhile Carmilla is the usual naked turbo lesbian sex pest with skulls and the funny sm2 maskthe word you're looking for is "homage"
>>750231604No, they were exiled. In the show they were excommunicated. Which is fucking stupid. But also the church is le evil in the show, which is also fucking stupid, but the roving pagan gypsies are the REAL church.....which is ALSO stupid.
>>750231632and remember, it's "hommidge", not "homaaaage".It's not a French word.
>>750231317Why isn't Isaac black
Discuss
>>750231868It's kind of like a moth but also kind of like a man
>>750231706>they were exiled. In the show they were excommunicated.What's the difference? Leon ends up without any titles or land either way.
>>750231868actually brazilian btw
>>750202034The game uses Sypha and Dracula's voice actors that voiced them in the show.They just said that so in case it bombs, they're covered.
>>750231808Dracula cursed him with michael jackson's disease
the speedrun for this game looks so goofy, you need to duplicate your save then glitch in the mirror world so you reach the bottom level, after that you need to open options and save files to somehow get the airdash and double jump way earlier
>>750233740Name one game that doesn't apply to.
game is saved
>>750231808they keep mispelling the racist pronoun between games
>>750202417HOLLOW KNIGHT CHADS THEY ARE COPYING US
>>750233872Okay, her Sonia costume is literal sexo and it's not even DLC, just input the konami code and that's it.game has plenty of issues but I can respect that, at leastthat said, the Alucard preorder set was disappointing
>>750198884The stupid fucking shills tried so hard to tell you this game had 0 ties to the tranny show tho?
God the writing for this sucks so much.I am once again baffled Silksong had the stronk female protag but never felt like any of its writing, even the ones where it tried to be funny, was written by some dumb woman.
>>750198884>hey look I've INVENTED female vampires wielding blood magicIGA came up with this in 2019 for BloodstainedCarmilla with the skulls came from Circle of the Moonthe ballroom mask statues came from Simon's Questwhat now faggot?
I wanted this on the switch 2 but I hear it runs like shit
>hi I'm [disgruntled anonymous poster] with [bone to pick at established media IP or creator] and here are all my big feelings about it with cited jpeg thumbnail sources>it is clearly the adjacency to women that makes something bad and I will explain it to you by arguing emotionally and creating a pretense to appeal to social pressures
>love Leon>hear they shit all over himGuess I'm not buying.
>>750235424the characters just fucking yap too muchit reminds me of nine sols but at least nine sols had a decent world and storyhornet wasnt nearly as talkative as one might expectpeople always say the lost crown and yeah so much of belmonts curse reminds me of the same issues TLC had except worse
>>750235894I heard that it runs at 60fps but the image sucks. That's why played it on PS5. It's got the best D-Pad anyways
>>750236282nah, chill outsure Rose starts off not trusting him, but after he drops the lore stuff after the twist he is treated right and stays relevant till the endonly people left trash talking him are the villains (mostly Medusa) but that's expected
>>750205821Stop.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l60MnDJklnM
>>750233872>please buy our game, please buy our gameNigga, i wouldnt even pirated it.
>>750233872you're gonna need more than anime tiddy to sell me this game anon.in fact do the opposite, get me a bishonen fuccboi, he can even be homo I don't care as long as he is cute enough (like Isaac).also some better music, less spike rooms, no solid color themes like that red village that's boring as fuck.story should have more relevance from Death and Dracula. the game spends WAAAAYYY too much time developing Rose like she's going to be Rey Skywalker, that's something you should save for Julius.even big nigga Soma barely had a 5 minute intro and the endgame twist to develop himself. show don't tell nigga, come on.
>>750197969i'm just about to fight death after about 3 hours. the game is kinda just whatever. if i get to an annoying part i'll probably just drop the game. i turned on respawn at boss room because there's been one actual runback out of four bosses and the rest are just go through shortcuts (odd decision). the combat and movement feels both too easy and too punishing. some enemies just two shot you and you one or two shot nearly every enemy. there's also no consistent way to get health potions back, they just randomly drop. so i can have 6 at once or i can end up getting none. same thing with mana potions, i can obliterate all enemies on screen, get all my mana back, do it again with even more enemies, get almost no mana back. very awkward feeling game.
>>750197969Hades and Hallowknight bastard child. This is not Castlevania.
Why is this shit taking so long to ship
>>750236047Kek.It really do be like that with every franchise, fuckin saved.
So what's a game that captures the slower methodical gameplay of the Classicvanias? I feel like the Metroidvanias were a mixed bag at it, and the only 3D-vania that did it well at all was 64.
>>750231868Disku
>>750238774Lecarde Chronicles 2 and Chronicles of the Wolf lean slightly classicvania with their enemy placements and behaviors. LC2 especially has what I'd call an appropriate amount of jank for a fan game that necessitates more methodical gameplay.
>>750238774Blasphemous 1.Not the sequel.
shill activity in these threads is crazy, it really is. I've never seen it this bad. Guess we know where all the budget went because it wasn't to the DOGSHIT GAME AYOOOAnyway, play infernax or astalon, those are great games. Much better than this crap. And remember, shills can't say NIGGER
Apologize to IGA right now you fucking ingrates
>>750236436>(mostly Medusa)She is still salty he called her a monster to her face twice.
>>750239656I'm only preordering Bloodstained 2 if the succubus tiddies are fat and last longer than 5 minutes onscreen, tho
>>750239437I think going on a message board whose sole purpose is discussion with the motive of obfuscating or discouraging discussion as a general practice under pressure others be labeled a "shill" or "redditor" for partaking in current thing is some gay faggot nigger shit. Your kind always goes "HURR IF YOU WANT A HUGBOX GO TO REDDIT" then spend your time forcing narratives to create your own hugbox of vitriol and butthurt. And it makes you a total nigger. Just say you got banned from Reddit for being a retarded dickhead and now you have to use this place as a platform instead of just talking about shit like a normal person so we all know to tell you to fucking kill yourself. >>750239656Why should I, I bought all his games
I'm at a point where I might just quit the game. It's not a bad game but it doesn't excite me or keep my interest at all.
>>750239839>I think>your kind>forcing narrativesI don't care about this psycho fucking nigger babble, redditDenounce the talmud
PLAY FRONTIER HUNTER ERZA
>>750239839I think if you read the thread, and conclude that there are no shills in here, then there is something wrong with your brain. If you read the thread then conclude that people are somehow stifling people from making positive comments about the game, then you are schizophrenic.
>>750240171That is an excellent game, bit anime though.Steam and cinder is also good.
>>750240042Thank you for informing you of your trigger phrases so I know to be more considerate in the future. >>750240183Fuck off. It's always the same dark Reddit culture war bullshit where it's people creating pressure to have some the same opinion otherwise it's some kind of moral failing. And you do this while decrying Reddit? You're the exact same flavor of butt-fucking faggotry.
>>750240220I can't make Gestalt run on my PC for some reason. after booting up and start new game, it just black screen. maybe it's a hidden DRM that cant be cracked with just Goldberg
>>750240284All this because he called the game dogshit, and you are contractually obliged to cry at him for hours over it now.Because that one sentence wasn't even directed at anyone, so why should you care, fatty?>dark reddit culture warI have no idea what this gay shit means. Must be the latest windmill you paid-for cunts are tilting at.See? Now that comment WAS directed at you. Go nuts soiling yourself in the hundred "measured response" repiles you make to it, faggot.
>>750240284>he didn't denounce the talmud
>>750240456Nobody has to be paid to call you a fucking retard dude. It's a pretty easy conclusion to draw.
>>750239839>I think going on a message board whose sole purpose is discussion with the motive of obfuscating or discouraging discussionThats what you're attempting right now
>>750240684Hilarious!See you in the next thread calling people schizos for calling out your 4/10 indieslop with a Netflixvania coat of paint on it
>>750238774Kings Field is the only 3D one I think where I don't want it to be faster
>>750240893>NetflixvaniaWay to get this mad about me calling you a culture war retard just for you to confirm beyond any doubt that you are, in fact, a culture war retard.
>>750241076I don't know I liked Dark Souls 2 and its about as fast as 64
>>750205721Wtf is this version of death kek look at the top of his head oh no no no
