Topic: Castlevania Confessions

[crisis]

I’ll start:

I’ve never played Legacy of Darkness, I have a massive collection but this game is not in it.
and,

I’ve never finished Circle of the Moon 

[JR]

I've never legitimately beaten Dracula X and very likely never will. I'd rather play Haunted Castle over that one.

I don't really like Vampire Killer MSX.  I know years ago Morgoth Galaxius raved about how good it is, and I don't doubt him.  But I just find it boring, and the constant searching for items unengaging.

I've never beaten Dracula X SNES.  I've played up to Dracula but never beat him.  I know people say it's not as bad as it looks, but I've never given it many tries.

I feel strongly that Bloodlines suffers from having limited continues.  It's harder to learn the game with limited continues, so I've never tried.  I did beat it once, and never went back.

I hear you on limited continues. That's the worst thing about a lot of retro games.

(Speaking of Bloodlines, I just played that last night, lol. I'm surprised I remembered the boss patterns as well as I did)

Said this before but Portrait of Ruin is better than Dawn of Sorrow, in hindsight.

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.
