Circle of the Moon is good, at least it is somewhat challenging (unlike SotN)
>>
>>12601248
The first Castlevania I truly enjoyed was Circle of the Moon. I got a GBA at launch and while I would usually buy a Mario game, the GBA Mario looked like a crappy port of part of an SNES game so I went for COTM instead. I really liked the sense of exploration and the RPG mechanics which made the game feel less punishing because I could just grind if anything felt too difficult.

Had the same console since I was six, but couldn't play it for years because the RF connector got fucked up. Then I got into emulation and became something of a Nintendo Snob, but then I found Kega Fusion and the sheer amount of glee I had with those old Sega games made me realize how wrong I was

Got an Everdrive cart for my birthday one year (even took the time to make a personal "favorites" list for it that continues to grow somehow) and I haven't looked back

Do you like games like Castlevania / Ghost'n Goblins style gameplay with stiff committed movement, and gameplay that you must learn pretty much the one way to deal with things?

If yes, Rolling Thunder 2 is for you

3 is okay as well but not as good imo

PTR2 was 1000x better than any other parappa game concieved.

sucks that once ptr2 dropped, nothing else came out of the franchise.

Kotor is all-around my pick. Rogue squadron 2 if you just want the space battles

never thought id see this piece of KINO mentioned.

was honestly better than american wasteland, proving ground, and even project 8.

it felt like the wii shovelware shoved onto ps2 last minute type of game. but it was so addicting.
>>
>>12602246
Eminem was what you're trying to pretend Limp Bizkit was. Angry young white men were listening to rap. Limp Bizkit was for 11 year olds and the odd goofy manchild.

>Gruntyland
I meant Witchyworld.
Also, I'll say that the bigger, more disjointed nature of the world has some positives. Playing it as a kid, everything felt way more mysterious than BK since it didn't lay its worlds bare to you like that game did. Only Gruntey's Lair had some of that feeling in the original.

It has a widescreen option
>>
>>12595521
I liked it, it's fun if you're a kid with practically infinite free time to just aimlessly explore the world and get jiggies at your own pace. Completionists probably hate it for being a "slog" but as a kid it was one of those games where there was always something new to see every time you picked it up and played it.
>>
>>12600242
Even as a kid I felt that it was not as good as BK. I got both games on release, BK at 9yo and BT at 12 yo. Maybe my tastes changed as I grew up. The thing that most bugged me, even back then, was backtracking. The other things were: boring gameplay as split up Banjo and Kazooie (specially solo Banjo) and the uncreative new moves that they added. I still think its a good game, just not as good as BK.

After the merger, Horii went soft on both the gameplay and the writing. DQ7 was the last "true" Dragon Quest, as it was the last time "Happily ever after" didn't mean everybody's happy.

This is essentially a 2D game.
Crazy that cinematics were enough for people to call revolutionary a game that with minor changes could have worked on previous gen consoles.

you are actually factually categorically completely right
MGS doesn't do anything novel in terms of gameplay that MG2 didn't already do
it does better presentation though
and it does it so well, I'm still going to call it the best and definitive MG game

I recently beat this. The plot is excellent of course, but the gameplay feels like an afterthought. It's stupid that the camera doesn't even show much in the button if the screen. It's also stupid to have to switch between 1st person view and 2D. Some areas were just obviously terrible. Running up the tower, having to backtrack with that temperature sensitive key card. It's unpolished as hell, aiming was shit and often you alert the enemy when grabbing them.
I thought this would be a decent 2D stealth game, in reality after the first few areas it's like 6/10 gameplay wise
