The Castlevania Thread

Radiantsilvergun3 · January 17, 2012, 1:58am

Holy fuck CVII is not like SOTN. Why do people keep saying this? Interconnected map =/= SOTN. That’s the only fucking thing they have in common.

And no, most people who have been playing CV from the beginning cite CVIII and Super CVIV as the best CV games. People who REALLY get into the series and play even the obscure shit cite Rondo (Back when it was hard to get.) It’s not “everyone and their mother” for SOTN.

SOTN is pretty fuckin flawed honestly. It’s a good game (Tho I don’t dig it) but it’s over hyped as fuck.

Love Sotn, but my favorite Metroidvania is PoR with Rondo of Blood and SCV4 being my favorite non metroidvanias.
Also why are you calling CV2 a metroidvania?

specs · January 17, 2012, 2:28am

Listen, fatty. I’m saying that without the name “Castlevania” and “Belmont” LoS could have been called anything else. In fact I believe that David Cocks said somewhere that it wasn’t a Castlevania game until the game itself was well into production. The game could have been called just “Lords of Shadow” and you would have the same shit. You know what oozes Castlevania? When I’m fighting big ass possessed armors that take up the whole screen in Dark Souls and not fucking Titan quick time event bosses. Talk about lazy.

I like how you say I don’t know what I’m talking about when everyone and their mothers regards SotN as the best game of the series yet you’re saying it’s a bastardization of a game. Ever play Castlevania 2? Or did you ignore it because of an AVGN video?

Again, the game is so stock that it could have been called anything at all. How about “Adventures of Middle Earth”? Yeah that sounds about right. The music fits right in, too!

As a side note, I defended the fuck out of LoS when it was in production before it came out and I bought the limited edition the day it came out, but after I beat the game, all my hope was siphoned from me. The entire game I was waiting for a boss fight with Death (which all but 2 CV games have) and I was severely disappointed.

Also, to the other guy that quoted my post: I’m supposed to cream my pants just because Kojima “oversaw” the game’s production? You’re joking, right?

Reasons why this post is dumb:
[LIST]
[]You outright said the game wasn’t Castlevania. Nice goalpost moving.
[]It didn’t have to be Castlevania from the beginning to be a Castlevania game. See also: Super Mario Bros. 2.
[]Appealing to emotion may work in your social circle, but elsewhere you’ll have to have at least a 45 IQ. This is mostly directly at the nonsensical comment about fighting giant armors, as if I couldn’t point out the countless Igavanias that had werewolves, imps, witches, demons, vampires, and Satan analogues.
[]Everyone and their mother also likes Sonic CD and Michael Bay movies. And most of the people on this planet believe in ghosts. So your argument on popularity is moronic, lest you think McDonald’s is the world’s finest restaurant and World of Warcraft is the planet’s best game.
[]You don’t know what “stock” means.
[/LIST]
The one good thing in your post:
[LIST]
[]Disregarding that Kojima is involved. Though probably for different reasons that I don’t give a fuck (my reason: Kojima is a talentless hack).

Oh man you’re such a clever little beast aren’t you? Social circle? What the fuck are you smoking? Funny you mention McDonalds… Anyway, Mario Bros 2 didnt have a 20+ year legacy behind it. You’re in total denial when it comes to this game. Why do you think that LoS is compared to God of War so much? You tell me, because I haven’t played a God of War game before. I only played the part 3 demo and it was boring as fuck much like LoS is. You’re the guy defending SotN not me. I don’t think that game deserves the best Castlevania game title, rather Super Castlevania IV does, but that’s just my opinion and I’m sorry if you can’t handle that.

My statement stands that LoS is far from a Castlevania game and is more like a Lord of the Rings spinoff series. Sorry, but none of your nonsensical post attempts to put me down are going to work, my son.

I think we can both agree that anyone could shit out a better game than WoW.

Bad flame, idiocy, wild misunderstanding of analogies, irrelevant, idiocy, irrelevant, irrelevant, irrelevant, when did I even say that, irrelevant, irrelevant, irrelevant, wrong, idiocy, and probably, in that order.

Rugalitarian · January 17, 2012, 4:16am

I’m done with this fat fool. I’m not going to sit here and attempt or even bother to explain my positioning to someone that doesn’t even have the competence to put down the fork. Sorry, buddy.

You’re an idiot, but I must admit I’m honored you think I tore up your silly-ass nonsense whilst eating. Makes me feel badass, like Oxymandias.

Rugalitarian · January 17, 2012, 4:31am

You keep thinking that, sport. Keyboard warriors are so funny.
Sorry, but all you probably tore was your pants while bending down to pick up your sandwich off the floor. Have a nice night Also, diabetes

Radiantsilvergun3 · January 17, 2012, 4:33am

The best part is how heated you are about this.

specs · January 17, 2012, 4:36am

Funny that, these pants are in danger of splitting. That you’re mad salty over this splitting pants wearing fat man calling you on your wildly dumb assessment of a video game on a video game forum is even MORE tasty than the fucking sandwich. :lol:

Rugalitarian · January 17, 2012, 4:46am

You guys are pretty funny. How am I “heated” about any of this? If anything this is pure entrainment seeing all of you not able to handle other people’s opinions. Sorry, specs… I didn’t know that being morbidly obese is acceptable in your little “social circle”. I applaud you for thinking your pathetic little insults effect me in any way. More power to you, though. Keep up the fine work. Forks in the air!

specs · January 17, 2012, 4:49am

This is turning into another Michael Richards meltdown moment, only funnier and more pathetic.

Rugalitarian · January 17, 2012, 4:50am

Keep it coming, baby.

DANZAN · January 17, 2012, 4:57am

nah the best part is that these guys actually “like” each others posts , LOL. That’s just awesome d00d!
muchos respectos

King9999 · January 17, 2012, 5:06am

That’s what she said.

Abbachio · January 17, 2012, 6:01am

You called Kojima a talentless hack. scowls

CLU_2 · January 17, 2012, 7:07am

Then you didn’t do it right. :shake:

Aroo!

Valaris · January 17, 2012, 7:14am

Rugalitarian. Stfu.

Let’s keep this about Castlevania please.

FurryCurry · January 17, 2012, 10:11am

Thanks Valaris. I was just about to bring that up. I was hoping that talking about the music in the series would get us off the LoS discussion.

Why is it that Igarashi hates Sonia Belmont so much? He basically wrote her out of the series so men would be the only capable vampire killer wielders. And on top of that women in the series are limited to magic only.
