ITT:WORST CASTLEKINO EVER
>>339559787
But you're wrong this time.
That's not judgement.
>>339559878
how is it bad
>>339559787
You are just incorrect.
Circle of the Moon is one of the best Metroidvanias, perhaps the best after SotN.
>>339559878
MARIA RENARD AND THE QUEST FOR BOOBIES
>>339559787
Guess it is around that time the Australians are awake.
>>339560574
What?
The fuck is with this kino shit?
>>339560797
That's literally the entirety of her character in Judgment
She's a loli who wants huge fucking tits
>>339560884
YOU DONT LIKE KINO? KINOVIDYA
>>339560992
I don't even know what the fuck it means anon...
>>339561064
It's a new era of a video game genre
Circle of the Moon is the best Castlevania ever made.
>>339559787
Shit taste, OP, COTM is one of the best casltetroids ever
>>339561136
No anon, it's the gum from tropical trees. Stop misusing words.
>>339560982
Fuck really?
Sounds hilarious
Nah Circle of the Moon is right up there with Symphony of the Night. I think you meant Harmony of Dissonance.
SotN/OoE > 1/AoS/HoD > everything else
Dracula X.
>>339561335
When will this meme end?
>>339561195
In regards to all the metroidvanias I agree. Honestly I think its better than SotN.
KINO DOES NOT APPLY FOR GAMES YOU ILLITERATE /tv/EDDITOR, YOU'RE THINKING OF LUDOS
>>339561796
ITT: Worst CastleLudos ever
>>339560494
>>339561195
>>339561254
Aria of Sorrow is 10x better than Circle of the Moon. Go play both and come back. I guarantee that Aria is better.
>This thread
>CoM
>good
I'm surrounded by idiots.
>>339560884
/tv/ cross posters.
Could never really get into CoM, it controls really weird compared to the other metroidvanias
>>339561242
In practice it's incredibly not funny.
>>339559787
YEH
>>339562626
Testing.
>>339559787
I thought he replaced his arm with the whip.
>>339561480
Dracula X being shit isn't a meme.
Dracula X being a port of Rondo is the meme.
>>339559787
How the hell is it the worst? Please explain.
>>339562875
>>339562875
But it IS a port.
>>339562875
It's not as good as Rondo but it's far from bad. A lot better than Mirror of Fate and The Adventure, at least.
>>339561964
I've played through them all. AoS is toothless. CotM is a far better game.
Fuck outta here /tv/
>>339560407
One v one fighting game that's horribly unbalanced and has really fucked up designs.
Story lines are dumb example grant's is him trying to defeat Dracula to get in slyphs pants and Cornell is just him saying you I'm not a monster and no one believing him.
Online was dominated by Dracula players because he's a ranged fighter that can easily launch other players acrossed the room.
Also aeon is weird.
>>339559787
For all its merits and faults it's the only Metroidvania that felt somewhat challenging to me.
>>339561670
Mah negro
>>339561964
It really isn't. Much better level design and I prefer the whip/DSS to the souls system, though that isn't bad per se. Also Aria is easy as piss and has way less replayability.
>>339564275
I'd fucking break both your legs irl if you talked shit of Bloodlines in front of me
>/v/ conjures their inner contrarian to say CotM is one of the best despite awful controls, having to grind enemies without a bestiary for Equipment and Cards, andother than that it's alrightI still fucking hate the Dragon Zombies
>>339564901
You don't really need the cards do you?
I don't remember using them much
>Circle of the Moon
>Worse than Harmony of Dissonance.
Yeah no.
Its the only metroidvania that was even slightly difficult
>>339564901
/v/ is a board full of contrarian idiots that can't form a cohesive argument to save their lives. Why are you so surprised?
>>339565109
Harmony of Dissonance was fucking dogshit. I mean its better than the N64 games, but other than that literally any other Castlevania is a better use of your time
>>339561964
I really like the soul system AoS had, but that's about all I liked about it
>>339561254
>Harmony of Dissonance.
this is probably the only sane man itt. While the other castlevanias had their own strengths and specific gameplay elements, Harmony of Dissonance has nothing for itself except awkward sprites animations.
>>339565529
In my opinion, Circle of the Moon and AoS are great games. I play through them again every year or so. But for fuck sake, I struggled through HoD once. And never again. Because it's fucking horrible.
>>339565529
>>339565290
Thank God we're back to sanity. About a month ago there was a thread dickriding HoD. That game is a fucking trainwreck.
>>339564901
What the fuck is bad about the controls? Too used to mashing backdash the entire game?
CotM's soundtrack is among the best. It's just so damn good.

>People still think the Dragon Zombies were the casual filters
>>339565705
Might've just been me being shit, but I could never really get used to the Running shit, especially when I needed to turn around and suddenly went at a snail's pace.
The whip didn't really feel right to me either, especially with Armors and enemies who could swipe at me being within range most of the time.
>>339565829
>knives
JONATHAN, YOU NEED TO BUY US THIS GAME!
>>339565989
Sounds like you were shit. I can understand if you never played many games that used doubletap to dash since it tends to be a relic of the past at this point, but it really isn't awkward unless you're playing on like a GC controller d-pad or something. The whip look a bit of skill, but that's what made it so fun. If you were struggling, DSS a stone whip or something for some range.
Game also had the most useful subweapons in the sense all weapons had a use. Holy water AND knifes being useful? Shit dawg. Also death had one of his best renditions, especially if you didn't cheese it with a shield.
A slight shame about drac, though.
>>339559787
Can you please stop forcing your stupid meme I'm sure you're always the same faggot
>>339566389
Kino?
I can't remember, did you have to meet certain requirements to get the cards to come out, or did they just drop randomly?
>>339566308
>A slight shame about drac, though.
Dracula in CotM looked pretty much exactly liked he is described in Bram Stoker's novel which would have cemented him as my favorite rendition of Dracula in any Castlevania game if the boss fight with him didn't involve him morphing into a burning sanic demon that charged around the room and was easily wrecked by a card combo you could get 20 minutes into the game.
Moroccan fez wearing Death was awesome, though
>>339566605
They dropped randomly but from specific enemies. Like only Dark Armors dropped the Black Dog card
>>339566705
Death's second form was kinda creepy though.
>>339561872
Soma Belmond is the strongest Belmond.
>>339559787
YOU TAKE THAT BACK YOU FAGGOT! THIS IS MY FAVORITE CASTLEVANIA THAT ISN'T BECAUSE WAIFUS. (ecclesia) NOW YOU GO BACK TO YOUR CELLAR AND PLAY JUDGMENT UNTIL YOU LEARN TO APPRECIATE A GOOD GAME.
>>339567309
No my nigga no.
>>339563806
CotM had online?
>>339568882
>reading comprehension
Disregard post. Yes I'm retarded
>>339561335
>tfw I prefer Super Castlevania X to Rondo of Blood
Am I the only one...?
>>339559787
Why are you trying to force this crappy meme with one of my favorite game series? Stop it.
>>339570337
What meme?
>Circle of the moon
Most challenging. Meh castle. THE BEST
>Harmony of Dissonance
Too fucking easy, worst castle. Trying too hard to be SOTN. GARBAGE
>Aria
Too short. BEST CASTLE. Too easy. Middle Tier
>>339559787
>>339562875
It's a shittier Rondo of Blood in a lot of ways.
That doesn't necessarily make it shit. It's a decent game. It's just kind of sloppy at times.
>>339571216
Not even the worst on DS.
>>339571216
I wonder if there's any correlation between rondo haters and this game. It's references to Rondo made it 5x better for me.
>>339559787
That and OoE are my favorite Metroidvanias. CotM is by far the most challenging and the card system was pretty cool. Iga got so buttblasted about someone else making a good Castlevania that he decided to leave the game out of the lore.
what the fuck happened to castlevania threads
they used to be so cool on /v/
THERE'S A BELMONT IN THE CASTLE
>>339559878
to be fair, i dont even consider it a castlevania.
and its an awful fighter/brawler or whatever that shitty game is.
Should I bother playing the PS2 games? I love the series but they look eh.
>>339559878
Alucard is supposed to be a prettyboy and all but that takes it a little too far.
BLOODLINES BEST GAME
LORDS OF SHADOW 2 IS WORSTwhile i like alucard, its because of him we got all pasty white pretty boy protagonists. which i thought were just bland characters that look the same.
>>339573583
They play better than the n64 one but only decent.
Lament is worth a try if you are a castlevania fan or a fan of DMC-styled action games. It also has an amazing soundtrack.
Curse is like Lament meets SotN. Sounds great in theory but was executed rather disappointingly.
>>339573683
All artwork for Judgement was excessive
by the way which game had the best castle, design, or just good stage design in general?
I liked bloodlines because you went around the world trying to find Dracula. Also i fucking loved the final stage.
>>339573785

>>339571729
looks like a Japanese bootleg of aria of sorrow.
>>339574425
it plays like one too
>>339574241
>HoD
>worst
>>339574615
HoD is pretty shitty though. Not THAT low, but still low.
>>339569853
Guess you are at the moment
Why do people hate DoS so much? Maybe it was because I played it after such a huge gap from Aria, but it felt like a much better game.

Circle of the Moon has some noteworthy problems. I hate how you have to grind enemies to get cards and there's 0 in game way to figure out which enemy drops what card, Most enemies don't even drop a card. The equipment upgrades are kinda fucked, I think I found a rainbow robe halfway through the game last time and it was easily the best thing I found. Also a few of the bosses just suck. Zombie Dragons aren't hard, they just kinda lazily move their heads around while you stand on the ground between them taking pot shots at them. The final boss is also super trash and is more an exercise in tedium than anything else, I'd take a straight easy boss over this.
Beyond those issues though the game is great. Really solid level design, great difficulty that makes exploring and finding new save rooms feel amazing, great enemy variety, pretty fun combat and the duel card system works really well once you get enough fun cards to use.
>>339565829
This guy was a much more fun fight.
>>339574027
>Play Curse of Darkness once when I was really sick
>End up enjoying the game after putting a handful of hours into it
>play it now, it seems pretty clunky
Does that game pick up eventually? I remember it being really cool getting a bunch of familiars that all worked differently.
>>339573683

>The final boss is also super trash and is more an exercise in tedium than anything else, I'd take a straight easy boss over this.
This. Whenever I replay I just thunderbird spam his shit. That second form is ass
>>339575353
thats soo fucking homo, looks more like a japanese version of He-man.
>>339574779
It desperately needed the Hard Mode lvl 1 from PoR and OoE. Even SotN was harder.
the only bad GBA castlevania I played was harmony of dissonance (that was on the gba right?)
COTM was great and challenging
AOS was easy but fun
>>339559787
You really need to gitgud.
