what a horible night to have a belmon ton my if know what i man

OP a shit. This is a Castlevania thread

I've played SotN and DoS and loved them both. What Castlevania should I play next?

>>13973914

Lament of Innocence.

>>13973914

Aria of Sorrow is better than Dawn of Sorrow, so you could try that. Alternatively you could try playing a real Castlevania and play the first one

>>13973914

Bloodlines and Super Castlevania are both better than SoTN which just shits the bed completely as soon as you start the flipped castle.

>>13973946

Not that it was bad but Rondo was better than Bloodlines.

>>13973926

I'm currently playing Curse of Darkness. Is great, but it could have been a lot better. Voice acting is great except for Trevor.

Which Castlevania was it that had different castles? I don't mean Simon's Quest.

>>13974000

The PS2 releases are under-valued, I think. Curse of Darkness was good. I liked LoI better, though.

>>13974021

Don't let the Genesis shitty sound chip fuck with your ears, the soundtrack is excellent as it is.

Is cuckchan "raiding" again?

>>13974022

LoI felt like a tech-demo more than anything. They both suffer from being hallways simulator, though, but CoD managed it a lot better, not to mention that there's simply more stuff to do.

>Weapon forging

>Innocent devil training

>Tower of Evermore

>Secrets fucking everywhere

>THE STEAL MECHANIC

I think the steal mechanic was on LoI too, though.

>>13974021

It's definitely one of the best looking genesis games.

>>13974029

Sounds bretty gud emulating the ym2612 chip with the low-pass filter at 55%.

>>13974015

Castlevania 1 classifies each set of stages as a castle, but you're probably thinking of Order of Ecclesia

>>13974015

Castlevania 2 on the gameboy

>>13974031

Oh, so I'm not the only one who noticed.

>lol *instert quote from video game here* is such an ebin way to start a thread xD

>>13974040

For me LoI captured the atmosphere perfectly, and I really dig the sound track. It also managed to make the whip feel pretty good in 3d. The variety of weapons in CoD was pretty fun though.

>>13974051

>Sounds bretty gud emulating the ym2612 chip with the low-pass filter at 55%.

Really? I'll have to try this later.

>>13974079

With those settings you'll get very accurate model 1 sound.

>>13974029

It's not really annoying, but this does kind of feel like a downgrade after hearing all that good shit from PSX and GBA.

Man that first boss went down like a bitch

>>13974117

Johnathan or Eric?

>>13974129

Johnny boy

>>13974129

Eric is easy mode, if you're struggling with Johnathan give him a try.

>>13974211

You're shit.

>>13974211

You don't even know what it means.

Is the third gameboy Castlevania worth a try at all?

>>13974220

>>13974215

>(1) and done OP

>the only thing he posts is an old Castlevania meme

Face it, this was made by some halfchan retard looking to shit where other people eat. It's nice that it got repurposed into an actual Castlevania thread, but it would be better to just delete this thread and make a good one.

>>13974325

It really is a lost art.

>>13974325

Which one is this? It has a real arcadey look and feel to it

>>13974268

Oh look, newfags are curating the board again. Lurk more faggot, it's a perfectly legitimate way to start a Castlevania thread.

>>13974222

Trevor Belmont's daddy is Alucard according to that game.

>>13973914

DRACULA'S CURSE

>>13974268

It's faggoty, yes, but there's no reason to kill the thread after we pulled out, and it least it isnt yet another "is there any new games that x?" thread.

I lost my save in SotN flipped castle when my computer fried. I played through most of super years ago, but I kind of want to play the other games that followed the now oversaturated "vania" pattern. Which one should I go to next?

>>13974398

dat upper torso tho

>>13974533

Order of Ecclesia was my favorite of those but if you jump right to it any of the others in the series is going to feel like a step back.

>>13974040

Steal mechanic in CoD was really awesome, but it feels a bit silly to have the steal mechanic and rare drops. Some of those steals were brutally difficult.

The move sets in curse of darkness are all also really cool, the rapier was very stylish, the fists had heaps of breakdancing moves, the great sword and axes had a very heavy feeling. It was all great.

Characters also looked great, both Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness translated castlevania's artstyle to 3D insanely well. You compare it to God of Castlevania, Deathnote: Judgement, and it's fucking appalling how badly they compare.

>>13974539

As a kid I thought it's a hunchback of notre dame game.

Oh fuck, is there another exodus happening?

>>13975384

To where?

muh lecarde 2

Actually playing it made me realize I really like your stats being determined solely by gear and not levels, but that kind of limits the devs and by extension the player in what gear they can use because most of the time they'll either be using the shit with the highest stats or switching to a gimmick accessory for a certain benefit for a very limited amount of time.

>>13975251

>Some of those steals were brutally difficult

I found the Minotaur's steal harder than Dullahan's, even though most people have problems with the later.

>both Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness translated castlevania's artstyle to 3D insanely well

I… Have mixed feelings about that. Original characters actually look good, they are credible and the voice acting is amazing Then there's Trevor. Oh god, Trevor. Trevor is the one thing I have about the game. It's like he was just shoehorned in. The look is alright, but the voice is terrible, and his interaction with the rest of the cast is awkward at best. And the fact that he was so easily stabbed by Isaac is just enraging and awkward.

>>13975480

H-he is baiting, right?

>>13974394

Oh no anon, we have specific guidelines of how to start a discussion. If you don't follow said unwritten guidelines then you are from another site.

>>13975387

Not to where, but from where. Every time there's a 4chan exodus (and it seems like there are at least a few a year given how they admin that shithole) there's a tank in thread and post quality here for weeks.
