I like to imagine, like the initial localized story implies, that he's a Latin-American weeb. Mina obviously being his long-distance discord girlfriend.
I don't think there's been a single title that's truly Castlevania in quality since Aria and Lament. I've played them all except LoS 2 and the mobile game and they're either too mediocre to be memorable or they're just nostalgia bait. Feels weird to be like that since it's almost a third of the series that exists and I know a lot of people were introduced to the games that way, but man, LoI was the last mainline game that doesn't suffer from incredibly obvious asset reuse. Somebody made that RoB skeleton sprite over 30 years ago and I don't think they made a new one until Haunted Castle Revisited. That philosophy and complacency effects the entire gamefeel top to bottom, and I don't think there has been anything produced close to the quality Castlevania had in the 90s in a long time.
I also like Simon's Quest a lot. I don't think it's fun. It's almost exclusively not fun. But I like it.

I've said this a hundred times that Belmonts are the heroes, and your Alucards, Somas, Shanoas, etc are supporting characters that should never outshine the heroes. I know many will say "oh but that's not true because of this or that" but that's not how I see it. To be honest this isn't just a Castlevania problem, it's an anything that says something is supposed to be the strongest yet there is something that's somehow stronger problem. Yes, I know there is story strength and gameplay strength, but they should still match. Not sure I'm making sense but yeah.
The other thing I don't care for is the Soma story. The games are very fun, but I'm sorry I'm just not into the Japanese kid becoming Dracula thing. I get these are Japanese games, but feels off from the rest of the European theme.

« Last post by Abnormal Freak on December 21, 2025, 11:07:19 PM »Was wondering if people were still doing industrial hip-hop like dälek's Absence, Saul Williams' The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of NiggyTardust!, and Kanye's Yeezus albums, then I remembered Ho99o9 and decided to pick up their latest album. I'm only halfway through but it's damn good so far.

Circle of the Moon's extra modes are a waste. Hugh Mode would have been so much better.
Castlevania could have done without time travel and the Morrises being unable to wield the VK naturally.
I liked The Belmont Legacy comic and was disappointed we didn't get more of it.
I would love Judgment HD with full couch and online play.
I don't think Symphony of the Night will ever be surpassed.
I would gatekeep Castlevania from post-Netflix fans but then I'd become what I hate.

Hardcore Gaming 101 / Re: What game(s) have you been playing lately?
« Last post by The Puritan on December 21, 2025, 06:49:43 PM »Played Shinobi: Art of Vengeance. That had some really fun levels. Found all items and beat the secret boss, but I didn't mess around with the boss rush. Great game.
Just finished that too and it was so good. The franchise had to go through two reboots over twenty years before it finally found a winner.
Up next is the Resident Evil 4 remake. I was avoiding it at first because I felt the original was perfect for its time and why on earth would you redo perfection. But then Leon was revealed to be in Requiem and it might be his last game, so I figure I'll get ready to say goodbye properly.
