Topic: Most disappointing Castlevania Moment

[kevinski]

How about breaking the wall in the room directly above the merman room in Castlevania Chronicles, expecting a pot roast and getting a few dozen flea men, instead?

Of course, after the normal, the game gets easier, til atleast thief mode, which i Can't beat.

PoR's misspelling of Richter Belmont among other misspellings - it was something they could've easily fixed.

Change of dialogue and VA in PSP SotN - It was not so much that they changed the voice actors that bugged me but the fact that the changed script didn't sound any better and in some cases even worse.
I kind of miss the old English lines from the original, Maria's ,,What do you here'' and Alucards ,,Tis best if I were to disappear forever (or something like that).

Dracula: I didn't think he was bad at all but I still prefer his VA from the original.
Maria: I like both the original and new voice actress, the new one does suit her better and she sounds her age this time but I loved how she sounded in the original too.
Richter: He does in my opinion put much emotion into his lines a does a pretty good job as Richter but the voice doesn't suit him,at least not his older self.He did do a pretty good job so I'm not dissapointed with the change.
Alucard: His change was for the worse with his lines as well as his VA, which in my opinion didn't suit him. Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against a soft spoken voice as I own the Japanese version of PSX NitM and I love it.
I could've lived with a Lestat like voice or something more VH D like but I can't get used to Alucard sounding like Prince all the time and that comes from a fan of Prince of Persia.
Shaft:I like both of his VA and his lines from both versions,he is one of the few that I actually liked the change of.
DeathLike Shaft I like both his VA and his new script, although I missed some of his original lines was pretty good.
SuccubusBoth her VA were good and her new lines as well as the original, she still sounded enchanting although I feel her original voice actress did slightly better in this departement.

So I actually did like the most VA but my main disapointment would be with Alucard and Dracula,although the latter wasn't really a disappointment.

That they had the nerve to add a cripled Maria to PSP SotN: Seriously, they gave her some item crashes,doves of doom and...... nope that's pretty much it. As opposed to her Saturn version,she has less moves and is made weaker in my opinion.
Now I know some of you may say that SotN is too easy and that she at least provides some challenge,while I agree with the first I don't with the latter. Besides,we have Richter mode for that so there was no reason to make Maria a helpless little girl.
I have no problems beating the game with her and the moves she has are pretty cool but she could've been much more. It could be the fact that she is one of my favorite characters and I've allways viewed her as one of the strongest females and not just in Castlevania universe.

SotN(PSP) game freezes and auto - restarting of your PSP:This can be pretty annoying at times,especially with a speed run.

I'm done with my rant.




As for the Castlevania in CoD not looking like it should, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't it because it wasn't complete and in a weak state? I could be wrong though as it was quite some time since the last time I played CoD.

Definitely Dracula in Simon's quest. He didn't look anything like Dracula. He looked like Death, and he threw sickles, like Death. When you start throwing those firebombs on his ass he can't do ANYTHING, he just sits there and takes until he's dead. WTF is that shit!?

Thanks. I've tried that before but I guess I'm not strong enough. I'm level 44. What level were you at?

I think my first game (normal mode) I was at around level 59.

I went through the lil enemy rush thing a couple of times. If you want to chance it, you can also use the bone thing, where you wait til hes in range and you turn into a skeleton and throw bones at him, hoping for the big bone.

I was disappointed in Dawn's gimmick on teh DS, stupid magic circle.

Actually I thought that was pretty cool. It was a pain in the ass to have to pick up the stylus but I thought that was a really cool and creative way to work in the touch screen and make the boss encounters a little more challenging.

Wo, I have a LOT of leveling up to do. And how excactly do I do the bone thing?

Meh... It wouldve been better if it was something like aiming, the Magic Circle was just an extra and really provided nothing.

I think its the final dss card on top, and the 2nd to last dss card on teh bottom. I can't remember the cards, been a long while. Just use the dss glitch where you cast and go into themenu and check which cards it is, I'm pretty sure the two I named are right but.... my memory is pretty bad.

I said the glitch thing kind of wrong, just in case you don't know. Cast, before the spell is finished, go in and switch to any card, even ones yo don't have, and then leave the menu, and you'll cast it.

I went through about five bosses in DoS, frantically fumbling trying to take out the stylus from its slot on my fat DS before the binding window closed, before I watched the animated opening again.

Thinks to self, "huh.  Soma just uses his finger."

Uses finger rather than stylus for the rest of the game.  Smacks forehead.

I used my finger too. It is much quicker and 4 of my right hand nails are long for playing guitar. If I do use the stylus I hold it between my fingers or in my mouth when I play. It isn't a big deal.

Yeah, I've heard about that on GameFAQ's, thanks.
