I want to get more into Castlevania but I think I don't actually like it, a very strange feel

>>716476381 (OP)
Just play Lords of Shadow

>>716476435
>game developed in spain
YO ODIO LAS ESPANOLOS

Oh, if only there were hundreds of other games exactly like these!

>>716476603
But I want to be a cool guy using a whip to hunt vampires!

>>716476637
Then play classicvanias instead. You're not bad at video games, are you?

>>716478274
I'm good at the games I'm good at

>>716476381 (OP)
Just buy potions lol (well except in Circle, but that game SUCKS anyway)

I THINK CIRCLE SUCKS

>>716476381 (OP)
If anything Circle is the only one with any teeth to it. Slightly disappointed with how easy all the others were. If the card drop system bothers you there's a mod that places them throughout the castle instead:

There's also one that just makes the cards auto drop on first kill: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/9010/

At the least make sure you get the auto-dash mod to spare some tedium: https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/6230/

>>716476381 (OP)
just get through it. none of the igavania games are hard

>>716476381 (OP)
>can't beat the pot guy in portrait
Nigga what the fuck
You know you can push the pot around to make the boss easier to hit, right?

>>716480369
the DS trilogy has bullshit hard modes.

>pot guy
Wait you mean the slime? The easiest boss in the game??

>>716482424
*duology
Dawn's hard mode is a joke.

>>716482541
>>716482296
I CAN'T BEAT HIM

>>716482841
Believe in yourself, anon-kun.

>>716482841
He's annoying but you just have to keep hitting his pot to get him out for attacks.

>>716483123
Actually you don't even have to do that, your partner character will do it for if you.

>>716476381 (OP)
You did a mistake. Should've started at CV1 and made your way through. You would realize that the series reaches its peak near SoTN and then wanes to die an ignominious death at the hands of the hack Iga.

>>716483781
>the series reaches its peak near SoTN
Castlevania 3 came out 7 years before SotN, it's not really near.

>>716483946
actually the peak is original mode of Chronicles.

>>716484208
>x68k
Acceptable answer, it's a close 2nd for me.

I hope this is the next remaster and throw in Castlevania Chronicles from PS1 as the bonus game. It would be insanely good value as a collection and we would finally have SotN on Steam and Switch.

>>716484776
>next remaster
It's actually going to be SoTN remake in 2.5D (grimoire style) with the original ported. DxC will not be a part of it.

>>716484949
Get Alucard's original english VA with that deep sexy voice and I'm in.

Look at this fucking dork. (I love him)

>>716483781
Absolutely brain dead opinion. Cv3 is the peak of the franchise and AoS is the peak of Igavanias. SotN was a rough prototype full of half-baked ideas.

>>716486707
you are gay (or a woman). I can't think which is worse here.

>>716486903
I just think he's neat.

>>716487657
I agree anon.

>>716476450
Porqueeeeee !??!?!?!?!

>>716484776
and I hope we get a new game already
wtf is konami waiting for

>>716493617
>wtf is konami waiting for
the financial year to end. they already have too much on their plate this year so they're waiting to release castlevania when it might act as the filler between major releases in MGS and silent hill franchises.

>>716476381 (OP)
The only good Castlevanias are the linear ones.

Super Metroid wasn't as cancer as sots.

>>716476381 (OP)
>can't beat the pot guy in portrait
Seriously?
>ecclesia too hard
Look, I'll grant you that Ecclesia isn't super easy, but come on dude.
>dawn of sorrow too derivative
The story premise is kinda tacky even for a Castlevania, but it's not too distracting and the gameplay is rock solid. The only big problem is the luck stat is somehow broken yet again and thus the grinding is unnecessarily tedious.
