here's the permanent level 1 save. you can opt to do a no equip/sub weapon run too but its still kinda easy. the save has you at level 99 but level 1 stats. you'll never have enough mp for soul steal, nor will your familiars level.

Duck Tales was a sensible choice because it coincided with the release of the remake.

This is just pointless and stupid. "Hey it's October, what's the most cliche Halloween-spirited game we can think of?"

Listening to you guys, one would think Castlevania is the only video game series in history to have vampires in it.

[Anonymous No.1146307]

yeah SotN is way too popular IMO. I mean seriously how many people that are into retro video games haven't played through SotN? If I had to guess I'd say at least 75% of this board has played through it already, and many have played through it multiple times. oh well, have fun if you've never played it before, I'm sitting this one out., we need to get a better system in place for picking games ASAP if you want more people on this board to get into this.

[Anonymous No.1146308]

>>1146295
Both were chosen because they received positive feedback in the previous threads. Feel free to contribute ideas for future games and ways for deciding games. I have never played SotN, and I'm sure many others haven't

[Anonymous No.1146309]

Psx or Saturn version?
saturn version has more extras, but the new areas kinda feel like filler. honestly I'd prefer saturn but having to press start and then L to access the map is a chore.

No hate, but honestly the game is a bit more entertaining the other way. You end up trying what it offers to you instead of skipping the first castle worth of items. And also using familiars and such.

Really, with that equipment always making it easy for you you're kind of missing out on cool stuff. The game had a lot of weaponry, equipment and items that are worth using once in a while.

Serious reply:
The current OP could just run with the gauntlet's random selection, then there wouldn't be anyone to direct the hated at. Or have OP pick a few games and make a poll (there's a quick and easy little site that's basically vocaroo for polls, forgot the name).

Or you could keep making authoritative, shitty selections and deal with the anal frustration this causes to resident posters.

I sure as hell won't be joining this week, it's the least inspired pick so far. But I'm also not going to stay in the thread to shitpost like some others. Enjoy your game, those who are participating. I'll be back next week in hopes of a better thread.

(PS. If "Halloween" is the theme, at least do something like Monster Party. Castlevania doesn't have the right vibe)

Are people really complaining that the game of the week isn't obscure enough? I mean today, sure, it's a classic, but when it was first released it was completely ignored due to "disgusting pig 2D sprites" because the public wanted 3D and 3D only. And considering how the N64 Castlevanias turned out, it's a good thing the stuck to sprites.

But enough talk, how about next week we play either Deep Fear for the Saturn or the PS1 Vampire Hunter D game? Are those obscure enough to meet everyones requirements?

Alright, I've been playing it for about an hour, and here's what I think so far.

Music: Top notch. The baroque style fits the setting way better than the jazz-fusion soundtracks of Castlevania 4, Rondo of Blood, and Castlevania X68000, and the quality of the composition is just what I've come to expect from 90's Konami.

Graphics: Awesome. The spritework is gorgeously detailed, and I love the animations of Alucard's cape.

Gameplay: Really gives me no desire to play any more of it. It's a bloated, pompous, incoherent mess of a game. Very few games can actually do the "platformer with RPG elements" thing well, and I'll say this isn't one of them. I feel like it... kinda tries too hard?

[Anonymous No.1151207]

Having finally had time to get to it, I started a new game and got to the Library.

I'm going to say, as much love as I have for the game, and as much enjoyment I still get out of it, I can see where the haters are coming from. This is not a game you go to in order to push your limits as a gamer. If you're used to associating "Castlevania" with "hard as balls" and like it that way, I can see being turned off by this one. Your first moments as Alucard involve you gliding through monsters and fucking them up, and this is basically what you can expect from the entire game. Even when your swag gets jacked, it's basically just a minor annoyance until you pick up the Basilard (or Rape-In-The-Face Knife) and can resume your life of ease.

So yes, this is not the meat and potatoes of the game world, it's more like an elaborate frou-frou dessert. It's not chewy or filling, just full of incredible flavor. And that's okay.

enemies are like grass to a lawnmower. i can't wait to walk down castle hallways after castle hallways, going across the map on a 20 minute trip only to find out it was all for a piece of armor that's +2 more powerful than what i was wearing. that was totally necessary because hopping and spamming the square button for 20 seconds to kill every boss in the game wouldn't have been possible otherwise.

I vote for Monster Party on NES, to have a proper entry for the Halloween theme. Easy to get into, really bizarre setting/visuals.

That or Slaughterhouse for PC Engine. It's kind of a shitty game for masochists, but I'd like a reason to retry it. In no way obscure, it might not be very interesting for most /vr/ posters though.

This wasn't a joke post, by the way. I'm honestly curious.

[Anonymous No.1152542]

The reason I love this game is all the details. Like Alucard in a ready stance takes a classic fisticuffs pose with downward turned fists, as if he learned to fight in a bygone century. The confessional room (and being able to sit in the background chairs in general). The seagull nest. All dem Tolkien references, the amphibians in the sewers dropping pizza(and the nunchaku being found nearby), the skeleton apes throw barrels, the holy snorkel, I could go on. Turning over all these little nods and gags is half the fun of this game.

[Anonymous No.1152779]

>>1152542
It's sad that despite every other detail in Alucard's movement, he fails the Rare litmus test.

Also play the retranslation. Among other things you also don't get Tonfa incorrectly named Nunchaku, or most of the LotR references, and it's fun to compare to the cheesy but endearing official USA release. Norio Wakamoto is included too.

During the Conker's developer commentary playthrough, one of them mentioned that a test of whether a game will be shit or not is if your character, when hitting a wall or barrier, just keeps walking in place without reacting in any way.

But this kind of person hates games like SotN. Why would it draw them in?

Do you guys say Symphony of the Sotn or Sotn of the night? which is correct?

[Anonymous No.1153987]

>>1153971
Wat?
The abbreviation is SotN. And it's pronounced Symphony of the Night. There's no "S O T N" like with SNES.

>There's no "S O T N" like with SNES.
Yes there is.
That's also an option.

But what's not used is Super Nintendo SNES or SNES entertainment system. It's a SNES or it's a super nintendo or it's a super nintendo entertainment system. Which is what that guy is doing and it doesn't make sense unless you have a hard-on for redundant acronym syndrome syndrome.

You mean you seriously say "Ess Oh Tee En" out loud? That's as gay as saying "Sness" out loud. If you do this, grab the nearest sharp implement and remove your gonads with it.

It's even worse if you miss a block on one map and get it on the other and can't tell what it is you missed. I'll forever be 200.3%.

If I may suggest a game for discussion next week.

what about the original metal gear for MSX? I've been playing it for a while and I'm really impressed by how creative and sharp the game is. it definitely was ahead of its time. setting tropes that would be followed by the most recent mgs games even

What's wrong with pronouncing it "snez"? Any other option is too cumbersome.

[Anonymous No.1154725]

>>1154562
esseniess isn't cumbersome.

[Anonymous No.1154765]

>>1154549
Frankly, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake is even better, so it would be my recommendation. Still MG1 is quite good, and I'd love to see it get more exposure.

I also wanted to add that this fucking music is probably the best alert theme in the game. Even better than Encounter.

And now I got to the Coliseum. Holy damn, I forgot how fucking sweet the taser sub-weapon "Agunea" is. It's like the dagger on crack.

Also, am I the only one who likes to try to make the "Now Loading" stop moving with the d-pad before it goes?

[Anonymous No.1155771]

No! That loading screen gimmick is surprisingly fun.

>>1155306
There's already many good artists for that. I'm sure I've seen a topless picture of the Succubus before though.
