WHAT
>>339998448
JONATHAN
start dumping charlotte smut, niggers
Portrait of Ruin was the worst Castlevania game
Prove me wrong
>>339999190
I felt that the reboot game was the worst but that's just my opinion
>>339999190
three words: Dawn of Sorrow
I honestly liked playing harmony of despair the best.
>>339999190
Lord of Shadows 1, mirror of fate and 2 still exist.
>>339999314
I take it back, >>339999408
is right, Mirror of fate is the worst Castlevania.
>>339999190
OoE.
>>339999261
>>339999408
Reboot doesn't count, its all badi bought the fucking collectors edition of lords of shadow 2 for 120 bucks, just fucking kill me
>>339999314
>>339999545
Dawn of sorrow and order of escelera were great and had lots of content, try again
>>339999615
It's ok man.
2 was the better one.
If reboots don't count I'm sadly going to have to say Simon's quest was the worst.
>>340000341
That's what happens when you eat too much in the castle.
>>340000341

Watch out anon, best girl has her eyes on you
>>339999190
Portrait > Circle > Order > Symphony > Aria > Harmony > Dawn
>>340000741
She can do whatever she wants to me.
>>340000741
Wasn't she Dracula or something?
>>339999190
Simon's Quest exists.
>>340001061
No but she could become his bride.
>Charlotte will never pee on you
>>340000741
Carrie is for love, not for lewd.
Does anyone remember Bloodlines for the genesis? The music was fucking amazing.
>>340001617
That one was pretty shit.
>>340001617
Sinking Old Sanctuary was my favorite track.
>>340001617
>play Adventure Rebirth

aw yesss
Miriam is cute.
>>340001595
Not my fault she is one of the few lolis in the series.
>>340001595
She will be lewded lovingly
>>340002521
Here is the magnum opus loli of castlevania.
>>340003007
Tie with Shanoa
>>339999545
God, that awful music.
>>340003007
>>340000961
I would bully these girls.
We'll end this here, this is the actual worst castlevania.
Anyone here love BOTH classicvanias and igavanias? I enjoy both. Post your favorite of both.
Classic- 3, 1 nes is very close
Iga- aria of sorrow
>>340003681
It's not that bad if you play it on the super gameboy which runs it at a good speed.
>>339997734
That's what you get for wearing a skirt while vampire hunting, at least Maria wore shorts.
>>340003681
Classic - 1
IGA - Aria
good taste
>>339997734

>>339999367
Harmony of despair was pretty good.
Until you ended up grinding the same stage 100+ times on hard in full luck gear to get one part of a set.
Fucking miser rings
>>340005687
The only time that annoyed me was with the sonic boots since those are required if you want to keep up.
SHOWTIME!
>>339999314
>>340000812
How can you dislike DoS?
It's not only the best Castlevania - it might be the best game ever made, you dickfucks.
>>340006437
I used Richter as my main so fuma's greaves were good enough
>>340007316
Those were much easier to get but they weren't usable for the girls.
>>340006881
too much soul farman
too much pentagram drawan
>>340007513
Sadly they weren't and most of the girls were garbage.
I could never go back to Charlotte after they nerfed her into the ground
>no PC release of HD
suffering
>>340003681
Belmont's Revenge is fantastic, at least.
I like both styles but greatly prefer the classics.
Classic: III
Metroidvania: Aria of Sorrow.
>>340007787
>only 11 levels
This was the true suffering
>>340007858
Ever play legends? One of the few I've never played, don't know much about it other then physical copies are expensive as fuck.
>>340007645
Yoko and Maria were fun for me. Yoko in particular became my main towards the end.
>>340008012
>team of Somas think they're ON IT
>they're not
the truest suffering
>>340008062
Yes. It's pretty bad.
>>340007645
I'll give you that some of their mobility was pretty shit, but Yoko is an absolute beast as far as killing things goes.
>>340006881
Plot was shit
Too much farming
Touch screen gimmicks
OST as a whole didn't live up to AoS'
>>340008065
>>340008217
HOLY LIGHTNING HOLY LIGHTNING HOLY LIGHTNING
Fucking shit was broken as hell.
>>340008130
>konami thought valmanway +1 was a good idea
I can't suffer anymore
>>340008320
Holy Flame is a really fun and cheap alternative to use too.
Whose do you kiss?
>>339999408
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.
>>339999190
That fucking fighting game on the Wii exists.
>>340008435
Yoko
>>339998651

>>340008435
Shanoa has the best tiddies.
Have you guys ever heard the cheesy 80s rap castlevania soundtrack?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePhdHP8h6_M&index=2&list=PLYJHik59I4ywpwNLTLboq82xv_w_zOl4q
>>339999190
i spent way more time in old axe armor mode level 1 max than i did with any other castlevania game.
>>339999190
Symphony of the Night exists.
holy shit, I can't wait for this, it looks sick
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Uk83ceNRo8
>>340008492
Where do i start?
LoS was really bad.
>literally GoW combos ripped straight from GoW 2
>shitty story of mah wife is dead
>shitty twist of no u killed ur wife lmao
>ending creates an artificial gap that is explained when you buy dlc.
>QTE bosses because lol so ebic cinematic kills
>final boss was literally just you flipping between light and dark to kick him in the face
It had a lot of problems.
The environments were definitely it's only redeeming part.
>>339997734

>>340009071
What was that one rap remix of Castlevania 1's Vampire Slayer? With the kid?
>>339999190
You can play any character mode without the retarded American voices.

Harmony of Despair
>>340012202
Just fuck up my night
>>340011671
Yeah, that's it.
I've literally never seen anyone else post about this, but was anyone bothered as fuck by the fact that in LoS1 Gabriel seemed to have two different voices?
He was soft-spoken as fuck in cutscenes but in combat he was all HRAGH UUUUUUUURUGH like fucking Kratos trying to sound like Christian Bale.
>>340003681

PoR
>>340003681
wow, you're not kidding.
>>340012807
I really love that game.
A shame the fact taht you cannot play the game with Leon crusader armor.
>>340012807
I remember when the game over screen appears and hearing the voice of his waifu aclling him or Walter.
Indivisible's going to be great
>>340014696
I like spats, but how is that related to Castlevania?
Is Dracula X Chronicles any good? I've heard some mixed things about it. And how are the versions of Rondo of Blood and Symphony that come with it?
>>340014906
It probably has the best version of SotN, since it includes much of the Saturn versions bonuses, like bonus familiars, weapons, and another area.
>>340014903
Who teh fuck thought this combat was a good idea?
>>339999190
harmony of dissonance says hi
>>340014903
Still not related to castlevania.
>>340014794
>>340015534
Come on, you're not even trying
>>340015171
Maria mode is shit in PSP SotN though.
>>340015735
Come on shill, go back to your general.
>>339999190
Any 3d castlevania
>>340015735
Looks more like VP to me than CV.
>>340006881
>>339999314
Dawn had the worst castle design of all the metroidvanias. Its gameplay features were great and a solid improvement over Aria (boss symbols naturally excluded) but the terrible castle significantly drags it down.
>>340015389
looks like a good idea to me
>>340008912
...I want to believe. Silly hat but nice boobs in this one.
>>340016372
Why does Adult Maria wear bike shorts?

Literally the best Metroidvania style Castlevania. Try again.
>>340014696

I wish I could forget playing Harmony of Dissonance like you, anon.

About fucking time you fucking bastard. It's been YEARS since i saw your fucking Aria of sorrow hate Threads.
>>340012807
>replay this shitheap
>huh it's actually not that bad save for all the fucking backtracking
>could I go so far as to call it... good?
>final boss fight vs death
Nnnnnope. Decent until then. Then it goes to shit.
>>339999190
Sure summer is comming guys, get prepared for trigger threads with this kind of shitpost.
A classic example.
>>340016013
Because it's different as hell.
Styled more like the original maria (not 100% though). I kinda like it, but it's definitely not as cool as kung fu ass whooping.
>>340005687
Miser ring grinding wasn't so bad for me because chapter 7 was my favorite stage, for the simple reason being that Valmanway was a shit weapon against Astarte so I could style on her with Jonathan while leaving the Somas in my dust.
I don't underatand how people can deny that sotn is the best igavania. It is superior in ALL aspects compared to the sequels. Some day I'll make one of those graphs so that it is undebatable.
What should I compare them on?
>Musical compositional quality
>musical sample quality
>number of weapons

I don't know how anyone can say there was a worse 2D Castlevania than Dawn of Sorrow.
>>340016909
Even HoD has a better castle. It's pretty shit in all regards but even HoD's castle is better than Dawn's.
>>339999190
Harmony of dissonance was the worst by far. Anyone that thinks otherwise never played it.
SOTN is the best, and if you disagree you're buttbaby cancer.
>>340017137
Lab zero cucked themselves, fuck em, I ain;t supporting their garbage.
>>340017097
The castle is shit and the bosses are too easy. I'd rather play most of the handheld Vanias over SotN honestly.
>>340017097
>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.

Try comparing it to your nostalgia goggles. To make your claim, you either won't change your opinion no matter what argument you get or never played the other titles.
>>340017482
are you talking about pic related because it wasn't that much of a big deal
I think it was just a publicity stunt
fucking Indivisible shills
Reminder that anyone who shit on this game doesn't have friends.
>>340003681
Classic - 2
NotIGA - Circle of the Moon
>>340017992
It's pretty good. I just wish they'd update it and port it to PC
11 chapters, even with hard mode just isn't enough
>>340017992
I bought a PS3 for that game alone.
Wish I had friends to play with, though ;_;That said, I wonder what the fuck they did to the movement code. It feels like shit compared to the main series games.
>>340017887
guess time doesn't heal all wounds
you should look into that grudge anon. does indivisible deserve all the hate or do all of the people that baited you do?
>>340017992
It wasn't perfect especially since any character that wasn't Soma, Alucard, or Charlotte had to grind their abilities an insane amount to level them up but it was fun as fuck to play through for the first time with friends.
>>340003681
>Classic

>Iga
Dawn of Sorrow
>>340018095
This so hard. I had so much fun with this game. More characters! More levels! More everything!and nerf Soma
>>340018314
Could you leave this thread and take that shitty cartoon game with you?
It has nothing to do with Castlevania, and it looks bad.
>>340018319
Remember going into the competitive mode with another person and people actually taking turns to grind weapons? One of you would grind while the other jerked off in the corner finding ways to amuse him or herself.

>>340018430
looks fine to me
>>340018530
>statement is objectively wrong.
>stating that fact is "not being objective"
Okay, nostalgiafag.
Lament of Innocence was actually alright guysJust kidding it was fucking awful
>>340018515
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.
>>340018095
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.
>>340018628
I think you'll have to make that game yourself, Anon.
You have my support, though.
going to crack out the ds, which DSvania should i replay
>>340018562
Still unrelated with Castlevania, faggot. Do your viral marketing somewhere else.

I think it looks like shit in motion.
Doesn't matter, though - this isn't a place for you to advertise that unrelated shit.
>>340018902
I don't think anyone who hasn't already played that game even knows it exists
>>340019010
A lot of people sure do know that Castlevania exists, though. They will want it, if they hear of it.
>>340016235
>>340016835
Except worse, since someone thought that implementing ATB in a battle system where you want everyone attacking together for combos and guard breaks was a good idea.

>>340019265
Anon, seriously fuck off.
You are posting unrelated games into this thread.
Stop trying to derail this one. Just stop.
>>340018379
I don't mind him being so OP, but rather that the other characters don't get nearly as much attention.
I just wanted a dinky hammer so I could use my favorite weapon of OoE.
>>340019265
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.
>>340019265
I don't care, this is a CV thread.
Make your down damn thread if you wanna talk about it.
>>340019442
>tfw shanoa has about a dozen glyphs in the game
>meanwhile every fucking enemy has a soul that gives soma a new move/ability.
what the hell Iga
>>340019685
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'm playing through Lament and not really having a good time. Is Curse any better?
>>340019520
>that it is way too easy
Try beating the game without using magic or the game breaker stuffIt's still easy, but not absurdly so
>>340019685
Fucking this before the DLC maps there were fucking 3 weapon glyphs total and the DLC only adds 2 more to that.
>>340019891
and you have to menu switch constantly if you want to use more than a few
>>340020002
>Shanoa game

What?
>>340019923
It's worse.
If you're good with game mechanics then lament has some fun stuff. Otherwise it's pretty mediocre yeah.
>>340020095
I'm guessing Harmony of Dissonance
>>340019685

>>340019442
man that fucking crab gave me fits until I finally got his patterns down. it probably took me as long to beat it as it did for a Circle of the Moon boss for me. I really wish that Bloodstained has bosses like that, honestly. The most challenging boss fights in CV games are always the most memorable.

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/

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.
Castlevania HD 2 when
>>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
>>340022204
No double jumping

It's pretty much notRetrovania with spear and sword, you get 10 levels with some variety like the dragon fight and the horizontal shooter level. Some nice puzzles like transformations, generally it was 10/10 as a java game.

Yes, and?
>>340030890
>Now for what purpose would they do that?
not him but they pretty openly stated that they were planning to do that ever since development started due to the animation looking non-sensical and were busy with game balance/DLC characters for those 3 years before they got around to it

Yeah they're full of shit. They're either of full of shit or incredibly inept programmers.
Is Skullgirls even any good? Haven't played it before.
>>340014903
That combat looks awful, and does not fit a platformer in the slightest.
>>340031739
depending on how the code works for the character sprites that would be how they would have to do it
and considering that they also managed to port sg to vita with its limited memory adding another 3 sets of character sprites would kill the vita version
>>340031724
I'm not sure to be honest, I just tried to preserve some of the work.
>>340031730
It's really inspiring. The composer is still willing to work on it but the other guy shows no signs of returning.
I almost want to attempt to pick up where he left off. Castlevania 2 so desperately needs a remake and Konami isn't going to do it anytime soon.

>add new animation to the end of characters sprite data

Done. If they can't program that in then they are inept. And if your response is "That's not how they coding the character sprites to be able to work!" then that doesn't change them being inept, it means the programming from the ground up is duct taped together and inflexible.
>>340031973
Now you're beginning to understand why Valkyrie Profile never became more popular. This blend of gameplay isn't appealing. People that like platformering don't want to stop to battle. And people who like RPG battles don't care about platforming.
The thought that they can blend these styles is insane. That's why their indiegogo campaign was such a struggle to fund.

>This blend of gameplay isn't appealing.
agreed, however from what I heard LZ is aware of this which is why they include the option to kill enemies outside of battles/skip enemies through platforming tricks or something
>>340032423
yeah it is, it has its fair share of issues though, most glaringly the platforming being a boring chore
>>340032423
It gets praised constantly, because it takes a special taste to even play the game in the first place. Everyone else ignores the game, or tries it for a bit and then immediately dismisses it. The only people that would play those games the whole way through, are the type of people the gameplay is specifically tuned to.
Alright, I tried to post some interesting stuff but fucking retards won't stop talking about shitty fighting games and vp clones so it's time to bail.
>>340032470
>You don't know shit about programming
Mothefucker what I just described was in Kof 94 over 20 years ago. There wasn't 2 copies of Mai, she had an animation for if her boobs jiggled and a separate animation for if she didn't. And it was changed by a variable whether it was in a censored "region" or not.
>and whoops, suddenly you have 3 more sprites in your memory each with a multitude of frames and you killed your vita port
That's not what he was saying though, he was saying that there would have to be two whole copies of every character or else they wouldn't be able be able to add in animations. Which is either completely false or the game is programmed terribly. And if the Vita port is so incredibly limited, why not exclude the option from that version, or not load the unused animation? There are so many different options it's almost appalling that guy suggested that there would have to be two whole versions of the entire character to add an alt animation.
And you fuckers are defending that for some reason.

If Simon was in Smash, what would his moveset and Final Smash be?
>>340033081
As much as I like the Belmont clan, I feel like Goemon would be a more natural fit for Smash as a Konami rep.
>>340033081
something like this
I think for the record he could work without a third jump and just use the iconic Axe for his up-B to have the main 5 sub-weapons in his moveset (Stopwatch being the final smash) Simon's not that mobile so it makes sense to me he'd be a bigger tank with less mobility that the other characters.
>>340032824
>That's not what he was saying though, he was saying that there would have to be two whole copies of every character or else they wouldn't be able be able to add in animations.
alright, how do you assign the individual framedata, hitbox data, collision detection and damage/meter gain to that new sprite without resorting to your gamemaker "knowledge"?
what about character colors? you can freely choose those in character select, how do you assign those to the censored/non-censored version?
and how do you do that same process to the opponent when you play online?
>And you fuckers are defending that for some reason.
I'm not defending anything, it's their game they can do whatever they want I don't care about it

To be fair, almost every GBA and DS Castlevania reused sprites from Rondo and SotN to at least some degree. Some more than others.
And even some that were remade from scratch were still the same monster, like all the different types of Devils and Frankens.
>>340038497
PoR is just obscene about it, which is made worse by the fact that the level design is utterly uninspired. The game came out for the 20th anniversary of the franchise and is the one metroidvania that comes out as a complete half assed effort. Hell, playing as the old armor was more entertaining than the regular experience.

>>340038737
>the fact that the level design is utterly uninspired
Apart from the dual character gameplay being kind of lacklustre compared to the previous games, this was probably the biggest problem I had with PoR. The zones weren't that amazing to begin with (okay, the desert level was kind of neat and hadn't really been done before in Igavania...but it's still just a desert level) and the fact that they were all repeated kind of killed it.
Honestly, PoR was probably my least favourite out of SotN and its clones. HoD was shitty in many ways, but I still found the moment-to-moment gameplay more fun than PoR for some reason. Maybe because there was less faffing about with equipment and finding the least useless weapon moveset. DoS' weapon movesets were already a downgrade from AoS' and PoR didn't even have the soul infusion mechanic to make it more interesting. Or soul collection for that matter.
