Are you autistic? The whole reason AoS sounds cringe is because it's dancey/groovier. Sounds like Persona at times. It's inappropriate for Castlevania. Foreshadowing the jarpig sissification to come

most the comments here are about how many castlevania threads rather than the actual thread

what make for me favorite mertroidvania castlevania is that it has deepend on problem solving to even slove how easy the metroidvania games are , here you can use your mind to turn enemy into joke than just slash and wait like in sotn , this game also has unique senario and story and have really great atmosphere which can create moments that warm your heart , also the world here intersting

In case you still don't get it he used the word "sissification" to imply trans and jrpgs and such go hand in hand and that this jrpg tier castlevania is for males that want to be more feminine. He has long hair and no beard and hates anime, hence him being the 'jarpig' poster. He's trying to coin a negative sounding word for people that like anime. He should fuck off of 4chan, of which has always liked dickgirls/futa and anime and traps and etc.

Moron.

The only reason he/you are not banned is because low traffic boards are not lucrative enough to warrant range bans.

He could bitch about feminism in the netkike original castlevania and I'd be on his side but he's the jarpig poster trying to shit on all things 4chan for the sake of trolling. That's not actually what 4chan is made for but plenty think it is and only come here to shit it up.

sotn was nice as a novelty but the level design was bad (especially in the inverted castle) and the balancing was horrendous so the bosses weren't fun to fight at all. aos is missing a lot of the cool novelty stuff from sotn but it's actually fun to play. Good exploration and good boss fights (on hard mode).

Okay, not everyone you disagree with is the same person. But like I said >>7067960 I'm sure the rest of us can be understanding of why you're venting like this.

Why don't you play a Sorrow game for a bit? You might feel better from that.

>>	Anonymous Tue Nov 10 04:30:55 2020 No.7067965 What's with all of the Castlevania posts? There's at least seven threads with Castlevania. CRT general's picture has Castlevania on the TV. Underrated games pic is the same thing. What's going on?

The soul system was pretty neat and at the time and a breath of fresh air after the previous gba game. It was also a unique take on the Dracula story with some pretty good characters. The only Dracula stories set in the future at the time was gay ass shit like Dracula 3000

Normalfaggots hijacked vampires when twilight came out and faggots on places like 4chan hate being conformists so they deliberately spam the threads to make people slowly hate vampire shit. Basically.

You cannot refute this.

>not everyone is the same

uh.... are you telling me to not tell people off for using spam like jarpig, because if so, go fuck yourself

>why dontcha play a game?
I am too poor to buy glasses and am lonely so naturally on breaks I talk to people on 4chan, though they're all normalfaggots so I have to remind them to stop procrastination of their suicide.
>>projection anon XD
I'd rather be a serial killer, thanks.
>>we/I made ya mad, just as planned XDDDDD
You're still retarded though.

Also hard games are so tiring. I'm playing wonderproject j2 and getting mad at her stupid.exe. Even my games are retards. But not reflex oriented and it's a 'comfy' game. I might have to switch to Golden Sun or something though but random battles eventually piss me off and I don't want to wear out my fav jrpgs.

Fucking autists. Sometimes, when people enjoy something, they want to enjoy it again later. And that poster you responded to was right.

Moving the topic time to 2007 was a mistake.

You admitted that it hadn't been jarpig-sissified yet. That's why it was a good game. Castlevania hadn't gone full retard yet. Harmony of Dissonance and Circle of Moon were also great games. Yes they weren't as good as Castlevania Symphony of the Night, but they weren't trying to be and they did their own thing. Based soundtrack, solid level design, excellent control and gameplay. They're superb action/side-scroller games by GBA standards, on par with Metroid Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion.

Anonymous Wed Nov 11 01:30:18 2020 No.7070297

Igavanias have a hard time striking the proper balance between hubs and level design. SotN areas make good hubs but are barely levels. Dawn of Sorrow makes for decent levels but they're poor hubs, absolute chore to backtrack through certain parts. Aria got it right.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 11 01:53:19 2020 No.7070331 >>7068193 That poster looks pretty neat actually. I could imagine some version of that movie concept potentially being good. Vampires in space aren't really much stupider than having vampires to begin with.
