I think you are not objective.
I've played lords of shadow 1 and it wasn't a bad game, yes it could be a better beat them all but it has many positive things to tell about it.
I think people don't like it because it was the last attempt of the franchise and it didn't sell well and was so different of what we used to know.

Open your eyes too, Iga was a hack, he made by chance SoTN... and copied this model and everytime in worse, unable to to better of his original work, he is even unable to make good stories. He baited something with Aria of Sorrow and fucked it in Dawn of Sorrow.
3D games on PS2 are all shit IMO
Harmony of Despair could have the potential to be a fucking diablolike with random area generator but in the end it was a very bad game with a lot of dlc.
Ayami Kojima and Michiru Yamane are the real talent of castlevania, without them nobody would even remember those games.

And don't dream, Bloodstained gonna suck hard.

>Musical compositional quality
Worse music than most other Castlevanias, imo. Only a few good scores.
>musical sample quality
Well, the DS speakers didn't do justice to the music in DoS, PoR and OoE.
>number of weapons
What? SoTN doesn't have more weapons than DoS - certainly not if you count soul abilities.
>number of equips
No.
>number of actions without menu switching
Very no. SoTN didn't have set switching, and lacked several of the moves you have in DoS.
>graphical quality
It's the same.
>graphical style
Literally copy-pasted a lot of stuff. Art style remains the same.
>map size
SoTN is the shortest out of all the igavanias. It can easily be beaten ina couple of hours, without any speedrunning intentions.
>number of upgrade relics
No.
>special moves
No.
>balance
What? There is no balance in any of the games, because you can just grind past all challenges. Only OoE has some semblance of balance (I think the first boss level scales?).
>artstyle
Again, it's identical.

SoTN also has generally worse movement code. It's a lot stiffer and lacks the flow of the DS titles.

No. I have no delusions about this game ever being made by Konami.

but a fangame? I think that's the best we could hope for. The boss rush game is cool but I want my multiplayer co-op that still feels like a Metroidvania and not an anime fighter.

God this would actually make me so happy if the game got a revived multiplayer community by being ported to PC it's even a perfect game for user created content.

I don't mind him being so OP, but rather that the other characters don't get nearly as much attention.

Did you mix up Bloostained and Indieshillable?
>>
>>340017097
The problems with SotN for me are that it drags down way too long (inverted castle is cool in theory, but doin the same shit upside down can get tedious) and that it is way too easy, which is more obvious on the boss fights. It's still probably my favorite, but i think AoS and OoE are as good in their own way.

To be fair, a third or so of those souls were just stat changes, and you were never going going to use more than a handful of the blue and red ones on a normal run.

I understand you would think that. But personally I was surprised that turning a game upside down changes so much. It was a really easy way for them to put in more content to work through. They did not recycle the bosses, and the 2nd castle is full of items and relics.

The game is too easy. But there are solutions.
1) Playing on luck mode.
2) Don't pick up hp max ups.
3) This hack of the game which increases boss hp by 300%: http://www.insanedifficulty.com/board/index.php?/topic/7278-castlevania-symphony-of-the-night-boss-mode/

4) This hack of the game which also changes basic enemies. Sadly the creator thinks removing features instead of balancing them is a good idea so I haven't tried it.
http://www.insanedifficulty.com/board/index.php?/topic/5587-castlevania-symphony-of-the-night-hardtype-v31/

5) Combining 3 or 4 with 1 and 2

Yeah fully leveled sub weapons were crazy, also really liked the martial arts moves so I played mostly as Johnathon or Richter.

But the Sub weapon Grind was insane, just from level 8 to 9 took more experience than from 1 to 8. And Johnathon had a boat load of subweps to level.

>>340022723
What's your favourite Castlevania anon?
Mine's Rondo because it has some great spritework, music, and level design. All the branching paths are hidden really cleverly. Like how in alt stage 2 you can straight up skip a boss by falling in the right pit. There's a sense of continuity to the levels. also has mai waifu playable
