Harmony of Dissonance clocktower theme is much better.

In fact HoD in general has amazing OST that's marred by low quality samples due to GBA limitations.
>>333579576
Bloodlines version is much better, and actually fits the level.
Onpopular opinion coming through:
I think LoS1 is a legitimately good Castlevania game
I think MoF and LoS2 are decent but flawed games due to troubled development.
I also think LoS series has some great music.

CotM is best Castlevania.
I cannot understand how people can like CotM
It's my least favorite Castlevania so far
>>333582731
It's definitely the only Metroidvania where platforming is actually challenging and compareable to Classicvanias.
It's my favourite Metroidvania by far.
Why do you post worst castlevania? Plays like you're wearing fucking concrete shoes.
>>333582821
Great art style
Great platforming
Good bosses
Gameplay where you can't just grind to win and need to git gud
Best demonic transformation for Dracula in the series

I've always been partial to this version of awake

>>333582963
I thought AoS was the ultimate casual Castlevania.Its my favourite.
>>333582897
>Great platforming
The level design's way too bad for the platforming to be anywhere near great. It's the most empty and bland Metroidvania, which is saying something since they're all very empty and bland.
>>333583046
AoS is harder than SotN on your first playthrough when you don't know which souls are horribly OP broken.
SotN is ultra casual even on first playthrough.
>>333582678
I liked LoS1. It worked as a reboot of sorts and as a set-up for conventional Castlevania stuff. It clearly aped GoW (and improved on its combat IMO) but the series has always been cribbing from other games. I also liked Gabe as a character and was excited to see his fall to becoming Dracula.
Then the sequels happened. Mirror of Fate wasn't horrible but it was very boring and too easy. The LoS combat didn't really work in 2D. The story took some interesting twists at least. However, I absolutely hated LoS2. The combat was improved but everything else got worse. Some great art direction was wasted on that game. The story, the level design, the enemies, the bosses, all of it was terrible. I can't remember the last time I was so disappointed with a game.

well I liked the music at least
>>333583182
Even the music's almost entirely taken from other Castlevania games, and sounds much worse than the originals.
>>333583103
>SotN is ultra casual even on first playthrough
true
the easiest Castlevania in my opinion so far
But damn, I still liked it for its variety and content
>>333582831
As much as I love the classic games, I prefer the Metroidvania formula overall. But they are very lacking in terms of difficulty, save for CotM. Which is also a big part of the reason I love it so much.
>>333583107
>It clearly aped GoW (and improved on its combat IMO)
You mean how GoW aped Rygar?
And I'd say it was closer to Lament than GoW in the way how whip worked. I played GoW, Dante's Inferno, Rygar, Lament and LoS and out of all of them I think LoS had best gameplay by far.
But yeah I agree with the second half of your post, that's why I said they're decent but ultimately flawed and that's purely due to the CEO of the company having his head stuck up so far up his own ass he pretty much murdered those games and caused all the talent in the company to leave. Some ex-exmployees went on record after release detailing what a fucked up control freak he was and all the nepotism bullshit he pulled in the company.
>I can't remember the last time I was so disappointed with a game.
Same here man. I really loved the first game and never understood the hate but the second one is so horribly flawed. At least it has some legitimately good moments like Zobek fight or basically all the Castle parts. Alucard DLC was pretty good too even if blatantly cut out of the fucking game, thanks Konami.
>>333583182
>clunky animations
They worked fine.
>missing sound effects
I'll plead ignorance on this one. I never noticed anything missing but I'm not doubting you.
>weird controls
Git gud. They worked great.
>only had like 30% of the cards at the end of the game
That's on you.
>bosses were the biggest bullet sponges
Not with the right cards.
>>333583268
>and sounds much worse than the originals.
You're crazy. CotM has some of the best music in the series.
How about we talk about the objectively WORST Castlevania game?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=St6jOvKjbM0&nohtml5=False
LoS2 is a masterpiece compared to Judgement.
Literally the only good thing about this piece of shit was the music.
>>333583425
I played Rygar as well but only at launch, and don't remember much of it. I remember thinking it looked amazing and the princess looked oddly like Britney Spears. Also racking up insane combo numbers.
>Dante's Inferno
Please anon, don't bring that one up. God I hate that game.
>>333583497
>You're crazy. CotM has some of the best music in the series.
No way, it took music from games which actually do have some of the best music in the series (Castlevania 3/Bloodlines) and fucked them up with the GBA sound chip. At least something like Portrait of Ruin had great arrangements of the music it borrowed that were at least as good as the original versions.
People say Harmony of Despair messed up a lot of songs, but I think they did really good on Aquarious.

>SotN is ultra casual even on first playthrough.
Of course it is, because 99% of people get the bad ending, which is easy as fuck to get. Going back and going through the whole game for real isn't the most simplest task, especially when getting to the upside down castle for the first time. Assuming you don't get lucky and get 1 of those 1/1'000 chance legendary drops, some of the new bosses can nearly 1 shot you, especially if you go to them in the wrong order, which is also easy to do. It is much easier when you know what to do, what items to have and what order to fight them in, yeah, but even the darksouls games are easy if you meet that criteria.
>>333583651
>Please anon, don't bring that one up. God I hate that game.
I think it was decent. An actual GoW clone that literally was a knockoff in every way and didn't do anything original in terms of gameplay and didn't improve upon anything.
But hey at least it had GIANT SATAN PENIS WITH ACTUAL PHYSICS
>>333583823
I literally didn't have much problem with SotN on my first playthrough but I did get the bad ending first time around, HOWEVER you don't seem to remember that you don't need to start the game anew to unlock the upside down castle. You can literally reload your save and just go fill the criteria and do it, which is exactly what I did.

Not him but you can literally apply this to Aria/Dawn as well with Souls, Ecclesia with Glyphs and so on.
Adding RPG mechanics to Castlevania was the worst decision in the franchise.
>>333583862
Well to each his own and all that, but to me it was God of War but without most of the stuff that makes God of War enjoyable. Even the combat didn't seem as good because the enemies weren't as fun to fight IMO.
>>333584195
>Ecclesia with Glyphs
Wait, can you really? From what I recall there are very few basic glyphs that you could ever need to grind like the zombie, but most are found in the environment or when enemies attack. I remember thinking how much better the glyph system was compared to souls and magic.
>>333584210
That's why I said it's only decent, though I should've probably used the word mediocre. I mean it's definitely not a bad game, but it doesn't excel in anything either which makes it mediocre. GoW games are definitely better.
>>333583615
I think your opinion is objectively the WORST, I at least had some fun playing judgment with friends, and I liked some of the design's of characters and hated others, but LoS2 was just awful from start to finish, no redeeming qualities aside from some pretty set pieces
>>333584315
Literally all the actually good Glyphs (aka the ones with horribly low drop rates) are pain in the ass to get and require grinding. Some with 1/1000 drop rate.
>>333584353
Gameplay is the strongest part of LoS2 and it's literally massively improved version of LoS1 combat system and as such it's thousand times better than Judgement turd "gameplay".

Which ones? Nothing but some summon glyphs and Arma Machina come to mind.
So I told M2 to use a file select theme as stage music, and they did it, the absolute madmen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGNSK7fdwQg
>>333584891
I hated the music in this game due to the awfuly shitty samples they used, but my god the game itself is 10/10 Classicvania.
>>333584891
It's good that they did too. That theme was awesome and always felt like a waste that it only showed up during loading and file select. Now if only they reused Moon Fight too...

For a moment I thought it was the Flinstones theme. I thought that meme remixer was back.
>>333585797
Is that remix really that bad like people have said earlier in this thread?
>>333585957
Oh yes. It's very bad. But not because it sounds like the flinstones. I went to listen to the original version, and the remix somehow sounds like a cheaper version of the original. Because of a shitty soundfont.
Only good thing to come out of that piece of shit Judgment was the music.

Kirby is the only series that comes close to being as consistently great as far as I'm concerned.
But that's just me. I love Kirby music.

No. Sonic has everyone beat. Say what you want about the quality of the game. But the series has consistently been turning out good music since the beginning.
