Topic: May be getting Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles for X-mas.

[Pentagram-cracker]

Hi, I'm new here! 

Anyways I've never played Castlevania before, but I've always wanted to. My best friend is trying to get me a PSP along with Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles for X-mas so it'll be my very first Castlevania game (I was going to get Lords of Shadow for 360 but it didn't look at good as the old games, and there's no succubus. )

Anyways I'm getting that along with a Castlevania Succubus Figurine from my parents. I love succubi which is one of the reasons I'm getting Castlevania, and I'm thinking about starting my own succubus figurine collection.

As for Dracula X Chronicles, I think my favorite character will be Maria. I think it's cool how she fights monsters by summoning animals, and she's just a little kid. I also want to play her as an adult when I get Symphony of the Night.

okay.

Hello GreySun369.


We also play Castlevania, and you're right, there is no Succubus in Lords and Shadow. Games she is featured in include:

Lament of Innocence
Aria of Sorrow
Dawn of Sorrow
Symphony of the Light


The figure is pretty cool, although it's not 100% accurate to web photos. Her chest piece can't be removed to reveal her titties, but mines is still sealed so I dunno if it's like that for all versions.

Dracula X Chronicle is a fun game, hope you enjoy it! They are making PSP2 for next year.

See ya later!

The only CV game I got  for X-mas was Castlevania: Dracula X (SNES). Dispite all the hype about this version being inferior to the T-16 version, It was still a very merry christmas!

By the way...Symphony of the Light? When did THIS game come out!?!

I'm currently playing Rondo Of Blood right now. It's one of the best entries in the series so far, and the music is excellent. Punishing difficulty though, I'm not great at old school style games where you need to be precise with movement.

As for the toys, I like alot of the stuff NECA makes, but after some great T2 and Resident Evil stuff the CV range was a bit dissapointing.

Thank you!

Yeah I know which games she appears in. Symphony of the Night, Lament of Innocence, Aria and Dawn of Sorrow, and Portait of Ruin. Also I know the one from Dracula X Chronicles is technically a vampire, but since she
looks and behaves like a succubus I just perfer to call her that.

And yeah I'm aware that the succubus figurine isn't what she seems in the official photos. Like her paint isn't as detailed and her face points down too low. I also heard she was originally suppose to come with a removable top but they decided to glue it on. As long as the top looks like it's part of the outfit and not out of place I'm fine with that. She's still a really cool looking figure and I'm hoping to collect more succubi figurines. Have you seen this one from World of Warcraft?

And I hope I enjoy Dracula X Chronicles too! I can't believe I waited so long to play Castlevania.

I love DXC and I think its one of my favorite castlevania games. I don't know how many times I've played through that.

I love getting castlevania stuff for holidays. My girlfriend always gets me something for Xmas, b-days and anniversaries. I think this year she's either getting me a sealed draculas curse casue its my favorite and I want a sealed copy, or she's getting me the uk lords of shadow collectors edition. That's just what it seems like.

Any ways, I think dxc is a good start to any newcomer to castlevania. You get the classic style with rondo and metroidvania style with symphony, that way you can see a little bit of everything

Welcome to the Forums!

It's too bad The DraculaX Chronicles came out for PSP and not for, say, PS2.  Many people went and got a PSP just for that game, and still long for it to be played on a better system or on the big screen (it's one of those games I bought the TV Wire Adapter for, 'cuz it's just nicer on a big tv).

Enjoy your stay here.

Yea I bought a PSP just for that game. I was sold on it as soon as I found out that the entire SOTN was an unlockable bonus.

Damn the opening cutscene was sick...I used to fantasize about CV on PS3/XBOX because of that clip lol.

[thernz]

It's a very solid remake. Well, the foundation it's based off of is pretty much the most easy to get into classicvania so that'd help you. You also get SoTN as a unlockable, so you get the best of the two worlds of Castlevania. Well, arguably. DXC is pretty gorgeous too.

[Pentagram-cracker]

Yeah it looks really good. It's also kind of cool how the graphics are 3D but done in a side scroller way. The graphics just look really good, and the boss fights look fun.

Also Symphony of the Night has some really cool monsters like the Venus Weeds. And I hear it has a ton of extras and secrets.

[Richter]

Well it certainly has a few areas you'll spend time on if you want that 110% of the map. Most of the creatures are recycled though, if you're starting out it will be more impressive.

Sisters Mode and Pumpkin Mode are very kawaii

EDIT- oh u mean symphony
yeah it has some cool features, you unlock Richiter upon completion, & Maria has a whole new sprite complete with new techniques, difficulty, etc. There is also Axe Armor you can play ass

[corneliab]

Anyways I'm getting that along with a Castlevania Succubus Figurine from my parents.

Could anything be more awkward?

Nah, my parents are cool. They don't care if I have a demon in a g-string sitting around my bedroom.
