Topic: Castlevania Confessions

[Lumi Kløvstad]

Post your Castlevania confessions here.

I have never beaten Richter Mode in Symphony of the Night, even with cheats.

[BLOOD MONKEY]

I have never played AoS.

[TheTextGuy]

For Metroidvanias, I have only played SoTN and OoE.

Pretty good ones to have played through though.

Continuing with confessions: I've never touched the Arrange Mode of Castlevania Chronicles, having only played the Sharp X6800 half of the disc. I haven't beat it (legit) yet, but one day I will. I did Gameshark my way to victory one time though.

[The Puritan]

I actually prefer the Combat Cross over the traditional Vampire Killer. Both practically and aesthetically.

I side eye people who say "Aulin" instead of "Orlean." Which is... everybody.

I've never finished Rondo of Blood as Richter from beginning to end.

[zangetsu468]

Although I got to the end of the stage with 2 knights, I never finished stage 5' in RoB. When I learned there was no boss, I'd already played the game and done everything else and I gave up. I also never finished Dracula's stage with Richter, but I did get up to Dracula.

In OOE on my Hard max cap Level 1 playthrough with Shanoa, I was trying to beat Death without using Glyph union. (Death was by far the hardest boss, due to his scythes being sporadic). I managed to pull off the Death Glitch by accident where he stays frozen mid screen. I took that as a sign it was time for me to beat Death and accepted that win.

A previous gf bet me 1000 dollars I couldn't beat POR on Hard Max cap level 01, I proved her wrong, and I said I didn't want the money. (this was back when I was a poor student )

If I was the Archie of the CVverse, Shanoa and Yoko would be Veronica and Betty.

[XombieMike]

I've never played a 3D Igavania even though I based a CV D&D plot on LoI.

I prefer CV64/LOD to any other 3D vania. Not including DXC since it is only 2.5d.

I share this view. I think these games PERFECTLY nailed the classicvania feel in 3D.

The side result of that is these days they feel stale, but still.

Still, given the quality of DmC: Devil May Cry on a gameplay level (in terms of staying true to what came before whilst still updating it) and then how perfectly everything came together in DmC Definitive Edition, I have my next confession:

I would LOVE to see Ninja Theory do a 3D Castlevania game.

I've never played that bit of trash they call Judgement. And I have no desire to. In fact I'm perfectly okay with this confession. Likewise I've never played Mirror of Fate nor LoS2, and still have no desire to do-so either.

I played through 2/3 of MoF.  I expected it to be utter crap, but it turned out to be just mediocre.  I also have no intention of finishing the other 1/3 or revisiting the LoS games.

I agree fully.

On a reverse of that note... I'm actually looking forward to playing Judgement when I get up to it lol I don't really know why, I think just because it will be such a change of pace and from what I hear, pretty terrible and a good train wreck can be fun to see lol

I have no desire to touch the LoS series - maybe after I have exhausted all the original series Castlevania games... And all the Castlevania-like games that I can find as well...

[zangetsu468]

I prefer CV64/LOD to any other 3D vania.

I wholeheartedly agree. I also used to be a gun at Henry mode (no pun intended..)

More confessions:

I like LOS1, I actually believe it's one of the better action platformers for PS3

I have never dared play LOS 2, yet

I wish (even with the anime style) that a 3rd Soma/ Sorrow game was made.

I play POR with English voices on the most difficult setting because the bosses' sound cues are easier to work with, particularly Stella (solo fight).

[Aceearly1993]

It'll be better if WOMI's Rosenkreuzstilette - Castlevania crossover comes true. It's my long life dream to play a Castlevania game which builds on the awesome engine once used by Rosenkreuzstilette, and with the amazing quality of WOMI's art style

And I never finish the Castlevania Chronicles No damage challenge (US version) since 2014.

I still have not enough courage to revisit LoS saga and 3D titles. (I cleared them all, but for Lament of Innocence/Curse of Darkness I only cleared regular mode and secret mode with alternate characters; For LoS saga I only cleared default difficulty of each title)
