Castlevania Rondo of Blood turns 33 years old today. Can we get a Castlevania thread to celebrate?
Belmont's Curse is fun so far. Music is the only thing that feels like a step back
Belmont's Curse was awful. I don't understand how people are enjoying it, so many rocks for brains out there.
>>750663025where are all the real castlevania fans that i met during BC threads?
>>750663025I don't acknowledge the existence of Belmont's Curse, I've been playing Bloodstained and replaying through some of the classics again, been doing Adventure Rebirth recently, trying to get a hard 1cc run, very fun game.
>>750663025Fuck everyone else in this thread. Rondo is still the best Castlevania and I played it again last weekhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZKsdWfUu_Y
>>750663025I loved BC and now I'm playing Chronicles and I'm loving it too but I'm getting filtered by this clock tower level, I can't hit the werewolf bitch at allhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0Q8adTaR6QThis song is cool too
they need to make a full on open world remake of Castlevania 3 Dracula's Curse. towns, smaller Alucard castle, huge Dracula castle, horses.
>>750663025>gameplay>visuals>soundtrackis rondo just goated?
>>750663025Castlevania more like Castlekino
>>750667567That werewolf boss is notorious for being hard to hit. Honestly it's one of those bosses where i can't tell what's going on but i just press buttons and she sometimes kills me and i sometimes kill her
>>750668863I finally did it thanks to the double cross and just jumping around like a fleaman. Boss is annoying and the runback too fuck those falling gears
>>750669336Epic
>>750669336>nearest neighbour
>>750668863Taking the axe helps, you can't actually hit her with a cross in the original X68K version, but you can throw some axes around and sometimes you'll just happen to hit her as she jumps around a bunch.
>>750663025>Saturn SoTN gives Richter a new spriteset.>None of ports after use itWeird.
>>750663416If you haven't already, try the Japanese voice acting. It's much better across the board.
>>750668598Linear level design that branches > "metroidvania" level design
>>750674709I liked Belmont’s Revenge’s Mega Man style stage select too.
>>750663025Por/CotM > OoE > AoS > HoD >gap like at the start of CotM > SotN first castle > DoS > Another Dimension > SotN inverted castle - what the FUCK where they thinking here

>>750663025Didn't Jesus die at 33?
>>750664708Those are people who still know how to have fun, it's a foreign concept to us on /v/ but they exist
>>750677901
>>750677901It's kind of amazing how great her design was in CotM and every redesign since has been a disaster of varying proportions.
Just started playing this.Enjoyable.
>>750679003To be fair she didn't show up that much after Circle of the Moon outside of Lords of Shadow (fine enough design) and Netflix (fucking terrible), it really seems like western devs give more of a shit about Carmilla than Iga's crew ever did.
>>750680380Why did they give the 12 year old girl such large tits.
>>750678893This is way better than how Carmilla's design actually looks like in Belmont's Curse.
>>750680670Because Japan is based.
>>750663025Symphony is a masterpiece, but Rondo was always my favorite. I really wish they'd put them both on Steam.
I never get sick of Final Toccata.
>>750677841Based>>750677738Contrarian
>>750680670Pretty sure there’s official art of her stuffing turtles down the front of her dress to give the illusion of big tits
>>750681642I've never seen that holy shit, based if true.
>>750668072How about no? In this day and age, it is going to be pulling from the Netflix cartoon and an open-world design isn't going to improve CV3. Just play Curse of the Moon.
>>750677841Classicvania ranking tooRondo/DxC > 3 (US) > Bloodlines > X68K > Adventure Rebirth > Bloodstained CoTM 1 > 1 > X > IV > BR > HCR > Haunted Castle > Adventure > Legends(Haven't gotten to Curse of the Moon 2 yet but plan to real soon)
>>750681851Honestly, DMC1 is probably the closest that a non-Castlevania game has gotten to a Castlevania atmosphere if you ask me.I always kind of thought that they would be a natural fit for each other.
>>750663025im playing belmonts curse and accidently got the bad ending where rose belmont gets dracula aids and she turns red
She's red for an amazing reason.
because its aids
>>750663416The gameplay is fun for a couple hours, then you realize there are only 5 enemy types in the entire game and they wiped their ass with the series canon. The retarded kaizo section in Notre Dame was the final straw for me. At least it was short though. Got the plat in 13 hours and deleted that shit
Been playing Lords of Shadow 1.I forgot how many canned animations were in that game and it's really annoying because I replay levels for those trials and when it comes to stuff like the mounted segments having to pause and skip every time I press RT to kill big werewolf fucking sucks
>>750663025YesMaria is playable in Dracula X for SNES with her RoB moveset https://youtu.be/b--rSyfuBnk?si=aBGS26QznyvnQll-https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/10159/And SotN Ultimate got released today!https://youtu.be/HN2__d9gN3s?si=xmMinf5SN2UkSsPChttps://www.romhacking.net/hacks/10241/
>>750685748Playing it on emulation, noticed some bugs
>>750681996Cotm 2 kinda sucked. The dog character was like completely OP
>>750686069I played it for a bit and I got my ass kicked in some of the later stages, if you don't use Hachi it's really fucking hard, probably rivals even CV3 US in terms of difficulty.
>>750684602>got filtereda loud minority are saying this
This threads just come and go
>>750663025castlevania got fucked in the assjust got alucard
It's kinda annoying that Richter is turbo gimped because Simon in smash.
>>750663416A true return to form, he's having a blast
>>750684602>Filtered by baby tier platformingI'd take anything in BC over CV3 stairs and medusa heads.
This room is fucking cancer.
>>750688271I didn't have many issues with it. I just spammed the axe, and I was golden.
>>750688271wtf am I looking at
>>750688384It's a reference to tower of dolls from X86K
>>750688384Castlevania Revamped(fan remake of CV as a kind of metroidvania). To the left is a save/heal point, this room has those dolls, four annoying fucking bats that blend into the background, a couple of skeletons that shit out projectiles and endlessly respawning fireballs coming in from the bottom. On its own its fine but this room is leading up to a boss(one I'm struggling with) and I need to be at full health for this shit and needing to spend 30 seconds clearing out the room every attempt is annoying.
>>750688620Oh neat, I'll check it out.
Why the fuck does bloodlines have so many bosses? bro that ending gauntlet is ridiculous. But the game is pretty fucking kino.
>>750688620That's the not leigon boss in that area right? That one is horse shit.
When you people say CoTM, you're talking about circle of the moon or curse of the moon?
>>750688726I don't know but I like that about it, reminds me of how Contra Hard Corps or Gunstar Heroes were basically boss rush games, maybe it was a Genesis thing.
>>750663416I hate France and the French devs that made it I'm glad that France is now going to tax people per terabyte of data of bandwidth and tax people for riot insurance
>>750688774Nope, it's the mirror/fake belmont fightI eventually won after I got sick of trying to whip him and instead went full bitchmode with the upgraded holy water and double jumping.
>>750688795I would always assume Circle unless they add Bloodstained in front of it
>>750663025I'm playing Circle of the Moon right now, I enjoy it so far, but I hope the person who designed this castle got fired
>Migami's next game is inspired by Super Castlevania 4Lecarde Chronicles 1 and its musket skeletons still haunt my nightmares
>>750672324None of the stuff from the saturn version ever shows up again, even the playable maria from the PSP version is completely different from the saturn version
>>750690960Cause the Saturn sprites were horrible and the Saturn version was horrible.
>>750663025konami must pay
>>750692378>Saturn sprites were horribleFiltered.
Should i play Rondo?Ive only played SCIV
>>750692539Rondo is one of the best games in the series, definitely give it a shot.
>>750692539Yes
>>750692539SCIV plays completely differently to most Castlevanias, that's why it's a terrible game to start with and why SCIV fans usually aren't real Castlevania fans.
