>tfw people defend Aria Of Sorrow just because it has Kojima's art
Easily the worst metroidvania out there. Too slow. Too grindy. Not that good at all.
>>344656286
>Best Castlevania?
Rondo of Blood
>>344656286
circle of the moon was way better
>>344656465
Nah.
>>344656286
Harmony of Dissonance blows the other two GBAvanias out of the water.
>>>/vr/
Fucking retards. I bet you're conservashits.
>>344656286OoC is worst castlevania
>>344657148
Woah take it easy librul, don't you have a Pokemon GO thread to shit up?
>>344656286
>too grindy
For a 100% run maybe. You never had to grind to beat the game. Exploring is what rewards the player.
Best Castlevania inbound
All 2d castlevanias are good.
yes even that.
come at me.
>>344657239
Yep, knew it. Have fun killing yourself when your racist bigoted drumpf loses.
>>344657352
You can argue about that, but it definitely has one of the best soundtracks.
Worst Castlekino EVER!
>>344657148
GBA and NDS games are not allowed on /vr/. I wish they were.

Shit, miss typed, last one is Harmony of Dissonance
>>344657940
AoS > SotN >OoE > CotM >DoS > HoS
For Dawn, I can't explain WHY it's bad. It's just dull and boring. Except the bosses, which are phenominal. I can't remember many of Aria's bosses. But the rest of the game is perfect.
>>344658178
I hated the bosses in Dawn, mostly because of the touch screen gimmick, that's one of the reasons I don't like the game that much too.
Julius Mode is great though.
>>344656286
>too grindy
You only had to grind for 2 souls, which I think had high drop rates, if you wanted to get the true ending, everything else was optional.
>>344657541
Maybe if it wasn't stuck on the farting guitars console.
>>344656609
CotM was slow gimmicky shit
>>344656286
WORST CASTLEKINO EVER
>>344656286
Why do you make this thread everyday? It's an old game from a dead franchise no one cares
>>344656286
It was bretty gud, better than SOTN.
>>344656465
Rondo is a best but not a metroidvania.
>>344657148
Being liberal is suicide

>getting guilt tripped into raising your own taxes
Pathetic
>>344657352
Real agewd, arcade style
>>344656286
I liked it. The monster souls mechanic was neat, I wish they utilized it more, though I think they didn't because it was random.
I would love to see a game that brings back the monster souls mechanic but makes it so that somehow, you have to be skilled to get a monster's soul, instead of being pure chance.
>>344656286
>Kojima's art
Wasn't aware about that, but personally prefer the look of CotM to AoS.
Haven't played much of the Metroidvania titles, but I fucking loved SotN, as generic of an opinion that is. Everything about it aesthetically, musically, and gameplay was amazing and I loved it.
The Gothic artstyle of the character portraits are what really grab me, I know they're a almost insignificant portion of the game, but the art is beautiful, not to mention the amazing sprite work ofc.
Also, what's the best of the DSvanias?
Also
>tfw Castlevania 64 gets so much shit
not a great game, but has some pretty cool moments, that and you rarely hear people mention the sequel which was superior in every way.
>>344663000
OoE > PoR > DoSPoR is my favorite though.
My favorite Castelvania was the first NES one but people never bring it up, feels bad man
>Portrait of Ruin was the best DS Castlevania by far
>immediately tossed into the trash by OoEfags because Shanoa is their waifu and shitty bargain bin Kojima portraits somehow make a boring linear game better than the pinnacle of Metroidvania that is PoR
>but nah lol anime portraits XD that sux XD lol lmao XD
>>344663809
>Harmonica of Despair
I don't known why, but this got me.
>there will never be a Castlevania game that takes place in a Louisiana bayou with a blues soundtrack utilizing Banjos and Harmonicas
>>344664087
That one is still the best for me.
>>344664087
>>344664342
3 is better than the first one though.
>>344664559
I didn't really care for 3
>>344664131
>>but nah lol anime portraits XD that sux XD lol lmao XD
You know that no one types like that anymore? They haven't since 2002. You're mocking how people type 20 years ago.
>>344664131
PoR sucks, it's way too easy, there's literally no reson not to use the vampire killer... The only positive is having two characters at once... And deathcula fusion was retarded as fuck, not to mention charlotte's weappns and spells were useless when johnathan had his endgame equipment...
>>344664559
You can cheese things in 3 depending on the character you're using. You can only play as Simon in 1 and the game is balanced and designed around that, so in my opinion it had better level design.
>>344664701
>PoR sucks, it's way too easy
If there's something nobody can complain about PoR is the difficulty, since it was the first game to feature hard mode level 1. Which is where you see just how fucking useful Charlotte really is.
>>344656286
I finally get to weigh in on this. I like ALL OF THEM. Can you even imagine enjoying an entire series? I acknowledge that some have different mechanics, different feels, different playstyles, but that makes each one a unique take on the metroidvania style they established in SOTN.
I also backed the Bloodstained kickstarter in the 120+ tier. I love all these games. I play them every few years. I played almost all of them pirated, except for COTM and SOTN, so I felt it was finally time to pay Iga back for his great work during the series.
Thats how much I enjoy these games. Also a huge fan of the Metroid series. Except for the gimmicky controls in prime 3 and other m. That was ok I guess.
>>344663000
>Also, what's the best of the DSvanias?
Order of Ecclesia by far. But all three of them are great.
>>344664087
Out of the NES trilogy I like the firt one the best, since that's the only one I can beat. I get bored of Simon's Quest pretty early on, and III is too fucking hard.
>>344666090
>Order of Ecclesia by far.
Disregard this poster. The widely accepted ranking is:
PoR > DoS > OoE
>>344666451
>III is harder than I
>>344666731
>PoR > DoS
>widely accepted ranking
>PoR > DoS
>>344666835
>implying it isn't
>>344666835
Don't know, pham. I managed to beat the first one pretty alright, but could never get through III.
>>344666994
I never beat I. I get stuck on the underground level. I've beaten III three times. JP version twice (Belmont and once with thief guy) and NA version once.
I have learned to avoid the lower path to Dracula's castle since it's slower and harder. That block dropping leve is so hard.
>>344657352
It's shit
>>344656286
>Aria of Sorrow is more grindy than Dawn of Sorrow
Please explain this to me.
>waiting for dawn of souls for WiiU virtual console
I do find it kinda odd that people say it's so much better than Dawn of Sorrow. The character portraits were shit, and the fight with Julius is the highlight of either game, but Aria of Sorrow had lame bosses overall and a pretty dull castle.
>no one posting the actual best castlevania
Anyway of the DS ones which are recommended? I never got around to any of the DS ones.
>>344656609
God no most overrated castlevania game. Feels clunky as shit, I'd rather play simon's quest without a guide
>>344669639
>Anyway of the DS ones which are recommended? I never got around to any of the DS ones.
This: >>344666090
>>344669639
Play them in order. They're all worth playing if you like the genre.
Dawn has some amazing boss fights.
Order is a good game overall. It feels the freshest. The others just feel more of the same.
>>344662175
>I would love to see a game that brings back the monster souls mechanic but makes it so that somehow, you have to be skilled to get a monster's soul, instead of being pure chance.
Perhaps Dawn of Sorrow could've used the stylus more by having an attack or spell that would've costed a lot of MP or even some HP and let you "trap" the monster with lines to get its souls but then again, the seals were already terrible enough.
>>344669639
If you like 3 then go for DoS since its Julius mode is a bit like CV3 by letting you use Alucard and a Belnades witch. No Grant character though.
