What do Doomguy, the Genesis Aladdin game, and JoJo's have to do with Castlevania: Bloodlines?
I don't get it.

[Anonymous No.1646941]

>>1646938
Not OP, but it's pretty obvious.
Doomguy represents the high amount of gore in the game, Joseph and Caesar are pretty much John Morris and Eric Lecarde, and I'm guessing Aladdin means it has good platforming segments.

People just think they're being HILARIOUS and EXTREME when they dump a shitload of unrelated images onto the pile rather than a single one that actually sums things up like the game's supposed to go. W/PEG threads are pure cancer nowadays.

>Joseph and Caesar
A buff American with the power to kill vampires teams up and becomes friends with a foreigner who has more skill than him.
It's a bit of a stretch, but it's not exactly a head scratcher.

>Rip and tear
There's a ton of violence and gore in it for a GA game. On that note, the first mid boss was fucking radical.

>Aladdin
I have no clue. Maybe the soundtrack? Both games had a lot of effort put into it in the music department, but that's me just guessing.

Are you me?
Sometimes I do things to surprise myself and forget about them then get surprised and have to ask someone if that person is me, too. I mean... I know I'm me, but sometimes I don't know if me is the same person as I and if either of us share the same personage as myself and it all gets very confusing and leads to posts like this where I'm just surprised because I saw something that could have been something I wrote or wrote myself or was written by me.
So again I ask: are you me? And if so, did I (you/me/we) remember to pick up our prescriptions this afternoon?

If I may breach the retardation for one minute (and also say that you don't fucking put text in the picture as it destroys the whole fucking point), you bump from behind and hold the A button to kill an enemy, else you are damaged. There are plenty of dungeons in the game, most need to be lit up with a lamp from another dungeon, one of the few already lit up. The thing most people don't give Hydlide credit for, is that it was released years before The Legend of Zelda, in Japan. It didn't get localized until much later, so people try and compare it to TLoZ like it is fair. It isn't. Hydlide was popular as fuck in Japan and rightfully so.

[Anonymous No.1651401]

>>1651376
it was probably the main influence for the YS games too right?

[Anonymous No.1651431]

>>1651153
Oh god the memories. I could never figure out what to do in this game. The "towns" were barren, there was no sense of direction and almost every door needed a random key. As a kid I would just play and go in a different direction than I did on my last playthrough until I lost. The most I ever did was get a magic wand but I just could not figure out how to save my progress. The game had a password feature but the one it gave me would never fucking work. That picture totally sum up my experience with that game.

Do you spam Hyper Arts? You're the one who controls the inputs. By the end of the game, you should really be seeing Super. It makes me sad I can't play this...My gf bought me a copy for Christmas last year, but it froze whenever I got Gala. I would do anything for a PSN release...maybe on the PS4, who knows? Anyone else find it weird that they switched Super and Hyper arts in the sequel? I do love me LoL2 even though it's so bad.
>>1651532
Well, SR isn't all that much like it in terms of story. BO and every other SR is different, but the first one is you killing your brothers and absorbing their powers into yourself. Akin to MM, also his picture is wrong, you don't kill Turel until LoK: Defiance.

Probably. They share many similarities, from the platform, to features. Both were made for the PC88, both were popular in Japan, both use a bump system for attacks, and both are early pioneers of recharging health. I believe there was also a leveling system in Ys, and I know there is one in Hydlide.

[Anonymous No.1651541]

>>1651535
Yeah I spam hyper arts because they're pretty much the strongest thing in your arsenal. Super Arts use too much AP and you have to use Spirit before you can bust them out on anyone except like Noa.

I do use Miracle Arts on bosses though.

>Legaia freezes whenever I got Gala
I think this is just a thing with Legaia discs man. I tried to play it (on stream no less) over the last week and right before the end (I guess its the end) when I try to go to the past of Conkram it freezes during the cutscene. Pretty shitty cause I dropped 30 bucks and it worked fine until now. Gonna have to pick up another CD to finish it. I remember my old copy did the same thing but it constantly froze after beating the Berserker in Jeremi. Leading me to try and beat probably the single hardest boss I encountered like 10 times trying to get through it before I traded it in.

[Anonymous No.1651548]

I can agree to this.

[Anonymous No.1651553]

>>1651541
I think it's just cheap discs they used in the printings, it was still early in the run,and it wasn't like it was a triple-A title, they really need to release this in some form. I'm hoping a PS3 or PS4 disk will come out with a compilation of good old JRPGs. One can hope.

Does it make me mad that other people like Yoshi's Story? Of course not. Everyone has their own taste, so if you like the game, that's cool with me. If anything, I thought the graphics were pretty cool.

I felt the same way. I remember loving to play as a predator in the first game. I can't pinpoint what changed between the first and the second, but it just wasn't very fun being a predator in the second game.
