Commodore Amiga Castlevania.
>>342377557
HoD is great though aside from the color palette and glowing sprites, and there's a fix for both.
>>342375921
>came out in 2003
>still no better castlevania than aria of sorrow
defend this
Which castlevania game should I play/emulate on my psp?
>>342378413
I don't think it's horrible but it feels like a SotN clone. And the music was horrible.
Tell me more about the fix.
This doesn't even make sense
Aria of Sorrow is good,
>>342375084
>When someone says OoE is good
>>342378662
>SotN clone
All IGAvanias are SotN clones.
Music was amazing composition wise, it's just that the music was way too sophisticted for GBA's poor synth, that's why Aria had much simpler music.
I really don't see how you can call it a SotN clone beyond the fact that it has two castles, which is a sin that PoR repeats as well, just instead of 2 castles you have a very small castle but 4 portraits who are then inverted, giving basically same effected as two castles.
As for the fix:
http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/677/
Removes the glow from Juste, Maxim and Bat enemies.
For colors, just use the GBA-Color shader, google it.
>>342378447
order of ecclesia was great! I really like the challenge

>>342378447
I liked Order of Ecclesia and Portrait of Ruin better. AoS is a solid 3rd place in my book though.
Dawn of Sorrow was shit.
>>342382079
It looks awful, he desaturated it way too much.
>>342381636
I honestly don't know why I suffered through that shit.

That's some pretty awful taste you have there, friend.
>>342375084
What's the matter, did the mods finally filter that awful cross-board forced meme?
>>342378413
There's no fixing that floaty ass jump unfortunately. But the game did have a lot if good ideas going for it such as back dash and forward dash, I wish more igavanias had that personally

Symphony of the night. too confusing. Map, item, everything. The dialog and story is pretty shit too.
The one where you play the whip guy and you use cards in combinations. That's the worst igavania one.
>>342385564
Kill yourself.
CotM is the only good Metroidvania, and the only one not made by that hack IGA.
>>342385564
>the whip guy
But anon
EVERYBODY'S THE WHIP GUY
>>342385564
CotM wasn't bad, it was just hard as balls if you didn't use broken card combos.
That, and the lack of shop and/or bestiary made it harder to find out what dropped what.
>>342385774
Only Nathan uses cards.
>>342385718
Yeah that one Circle of the Moon. That one was garbage. Thank fuck they stopped making those.
>>342385564
I agree. Game felt clunky as fuck and music was meh. The bosses were pretty fun though.
>>342378447
I can't.
Blame Konami.
>>342385564
It was challengable, but kind of soulless. I still prefer AoS and HoD and over CoTM.
>>342379537
>when someone says OoE is bad
>>342385718
Pretty sure you just have shit taste. The guy who fucking made Sotn, Chronicles, HoD. AoS, PoR, Dracula X Chronicles and Ecclesia being a hack. What are these castlevanias you seem to aspire to? Lords of Shadow? The pachinko game? Even as old school Castlevania standards go, it's pretty shit. MC is whip based but it's still a metroidvania, jumps are easy, bosses aren't that hard, and the cards mitigate any shortfalls your shitty whip attacks do. It doesn't do classic castlevania justice, and it doesn't do metroidvania justice. It's basically as if someone who didn't know what either of those things made them good was asked to produce a game.
>>342384681
how do I desaturated the game?
what is worse
castlevania legends
or castlevania mirror of fate
>>342382079
options -> gameboy -> gameboy colors
or other emulators:

>>342387438
I don't see it. And I'm using the same emulator as you.

Mirror of Fate.
>>342387438
DS games don't need desaturating you dumb faggot.
>>342387171
Grab mGBA
https://mgba.io//downloads.html
Then open Audio/Video Tab -> Shader options
And set the following:
Gamma: 1.333
Desaturation: 0.125, 0.150, 0.150
>>342387860
He's not me, he's a faggot butting in.
>>342387934
>>342388032
Thanks anon, you're more of a help than he was.
>>342388183
Also you're not supposed to use this for CotM, CotM was developed as if it was on a normal screen, they didn't account for GBA when developing the game hence why it was borderline unplayable on original GBA without backlight.
>>342375084
This is the best one to me.
>>342387934
Good thing it's not DS game then you chucklefuck.
>>342388183

Why do little shits who grew up on the 360 generation dislike colors and think that desaturated, muted colors are inherently better?
>>342388547

You mean HoD
>>342378447
Adventure ReBirth > AoS
>>342388898
Whoa there with all that projecting. Also if you actually was old enough to see real GBA in action you would know this much desaturation is fairly accurate.
Then again this is a thread where people can't tell one Castlevania from other on wholly different system, so don't feel too bad kid.
>>342389253
Fuck I wish I could play Adventure rebirth. Will it ever come out on steam?
>>342380126
Castlevania: Dracula X is a fucking disgusting port of Rondo of Blood, which is a FUCKING MASTERPIECE.
>>342387093
Iga didn't make Chronicles. In fact, he didn't work on any Classicvania (unless you count his mention in "Special Thanks" for Rondo of Blood).
>>342389328
>>342388898
Nigger you're retarded, it's not about completely desaturating shit (like that one imbecile in this thread did) but offsetting the oversaturation that was intentionally done to compensate for lack of backlight on original GBA model by developers themselves. HoD is prime example of that.
>>342389319
Just emulate it on Dolphin, familia.
Just heard of this game and played it a few days ago . It's pretty good of you want to play some old castlevania. Some really nice levels in here. I recommend it.
>>342389597
How's the PSOne Classic on PS3?

>>342375760
i still dont get the kino thing. Like its gotta have a back story or source. Everything is fucking kino now.
>>342389475
>What is castlevania the adventure rebirth
Not to mention OOE drew heavy influence from classicvanias
>>342389705
Please be bait.
The music on the SNES sounds like dogshit compared to PCE's Redbook.
>>342389828
OoE was inspired by Simon's Quest according to IGA.
>>342388898
Is this bait or just a retard? Either way the game was made for the OG gba due to people complaining about CotM being too dark.
>>342389828
>>What is castlevania the adventure rebirth
M2 designed and developed everything, Iga didn't work on it. They also made Contra ReBirth and Gradius ReBirth. Are you going to credit Iga for those games too?
>Not to mention OOE drew heavy influence from classicvanias
Still a Metroidvania though, so it's inferior.
You can't deny that this is probably the most unique final form Dracula had in the series.
Is there any difference between rondo and DXC? aside from the graphics?
Also why does Richter have short hair in rondo but long hair in sotn? does this mean it takes a year or so to go though the castle?
>>342390007
Fuck, why are M2 so based?
>>342389490
what are your settings
>>342390051
>>342390007
He loves to slurp on that tiny gook IGA cock, let him suck on it hard
>>342390105
Yes. Mechanically they feel different, the speeds, HP, damage etc values are all different, Dracula has a 3rd form in the remake. A really good 3rd form.
You should play both.
Because SotN is set 5 years after Rondo and he fucking let his hair grow? Same reason why he has different outfit.
>>342389817
It's a legit term used to describe some kind art of movies where all the focus is on the moving image rather than on story. Then people started posting troll charts listing different movies and giving them a label like "cinema" or "flick" based on their quality, with the highest one being "kino". Idiots on /tv/ latched onto that term and started spamming it everywhere. Then, around when BvS was launching, someone came up with the term "capekino" to describe it, and everyone aped him by using -kino as a suffix
Is Portrait of Ruin any good? Only one I haven't finished due to the fucking anti-piracy system.
>>342390261
still too saturated
>>342390540
Except for the two-character system, it doesn't stand out that much for anything. It's okay
>>342390540
>anti-piracy system
What? I have it on my R4 and it works just fine.
>>342390580
That's just this particular location, it's technicolor as fuck, check rest of comparisons. If I desaturated it harder here, rest of the game would look like ass.
>>342390540
Get a better flashcart you fucking imbecile, you can't even pirate right. Also it's a very solid game marred by a shitton of grinding (Quests) and Reversible Castle bullshit, but rather than it being applied to castle, it's applied to the Portrait areas. The Castle itself is also very, very small. Smallest in the series in fact.
now it won't let me edit the saturation again, this emulator is weird.
>>342391016
Noone cares about your shitty colors
>>/vg/
>>342391079
You need to have a rom loaded, dummy.
>>342391141

>>342391016
I always thought that game looked semi washed out, I just remembered it had alot of gray.
>>342391331
I already tried it with a rom loaded.
I just use the gba colors desaturation. It's better and faster. Not to mention playing CotM with it made everything look even better
>>342391558
No idea what you're doing then but clearly you're doing something wrong, did you change renderer from OpenGL to something else? Because you can't do that.
Circle > Portait > Order > Symphony > Harmony > Aria > Dawn
>>342390540
What anti piracy measures did they have?
>>342391960
Charlotte would de-spawn and you'd have to beat the game with solo Jonathan.
>>342391661
All I did was try to setup my controller and then it told me "some things won't take effect til the emulator is reset" then i exited out, and went to go see if my shader settings were set and now it won't let me click on it.
There's not a single one bad IGAvania game.

just extra enemy placement and every enemy has the same health as the second half of the 1st playthrough.
Sorcerer was a god casual filter
>>342394450
Second loop has a nice difficulty, though it is still on the easier end of classicvanias. And still has those slow 'look at this mode7 guys!!!!' parts.
>>342393408
>worse bosses
Glyph drawing aside I can't really agree with this point at all. I enjoyed Balore and Julius a lot and Headhunter was cool, but the average quality of Dawn's roster was a lot better.
>>342393408
>worse bosses
Much better than most of the bosses being big regular enemies.
OoE had the best bosses by far in a Castlevania game. They actually forced you to switch up your playstyle and utilize set pieces
>>342399186
I liked the bosses in Portrait more. Especially double-team Dracula-Death and Frankenstein and Medusa were actually challenging for once.
>>342398630
Are you saying that was the case in aria? They only do that twice and one of those times was for a fake out. All the bosses in aria weren't "regular" enemies other then the one giant knight who does become a regular enemy.

The way the characters acted in this game felt really at odds with their dignified and serious-looking Kojima designs. Also there's that one time Death had an almost completely non-threatening conversation with Juste over what was going on. It all felt so strange somehow.
White hair on a young Belmont doesn't feel right either and Maxim being a ninja type is a bit out there too.

All of this Bloodstained news really got me in the mood to go replay some of the games, so I bought Dawn of Sorrow and Portrait of Ruin on eBay a few days ago.

Why are you hyped for the Mighty #5.6 of Castlevania games?
I've been playing SotN for the first time lately. Really enjoying it, and strange since I beat all the DSvanias, and loved them, despite never trying the original.
But HOLY FUCK does the damage spike in the inverted castle.
>>342403163

>>342405063
>Bloodstained actually looks fun to play
Looks worse than even SotN, though...
>>342379780
Actually one of the primary reasons HoD had some issues with the music was because Konami cut costs by switching out the cartridge to much smaller size that was about half the size of the cartridge used for circle of the Moon. AKA konami's been screwing over their Developers for a long time.
>>342405976
It looks like it plays 1:1 to SotN to me. Which is what I was hopping for ever since I saw the Kickstarter. Didn't donate btw.
Honestly I really tried the old castlevanias but I can't like them. They are too fucking clunky, most of the difficult comes from how bad the character moves, he has no agility.
The new ones (post Iga) have fluid and satisfying controls, but are too easy. They barely use this. The only time I had difficulty in an Igavania was on OoE on that extra map with all the spikes and shit.
>>342406259

Yes, sorry, they are both HoD I did mix them up.
Harmony of Despair was released for PS3 and 360. It's a game with a perfect system to be played on a Wii U but it wasn't even ported to the PC.

Too bad SotN will never have this.

If if she has less technique, I still prefer Kojima.

Yes fluid animation and gorgeous pixel art backgrounds are better than something intended to be played on a screen the size of a credit card. Most of the later ones play more like Castlevania 2 than SotN.

Kojima doesn't have less technique, but these portraits work better as sprites. Kojima is better for promotional art.
They are too distinct and can be used together.

DoS > SotN
And SotN is a fantastic game so that's saying a lot.

I want to play another Castelvania game. I've played SotN, Super Castelvania IV, Dracula X and Bloodlines. Which one is also good?
>>342412952
All the GBA and DS ones. Most of them have a more "classic" mode after you beat the main game with the good ending.
>>342412952
Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow.
Aria of Sorrow is visually kind of unimpressive. But Dawn of Sorrow looks great.
Both of plays fantastically though. You won't regret it.
