I loved the way Trevor used the whip. I wish we had a game that let you use the whip with such skill instead of just cracking it in front of you or waggling it around like a retard.

On that note, I also liked that he could hold his ground against Alucard. I expected him to get his shit pushed in from the beginning but instead it was a pretty tight stalemate. It was refreshing.
>>
>>383443793
I've thought about a Dark Souls movie a lot lately.
And each time I can't find a good adaptation method, except for one

You also have to figure out how often to kill the main character, or have no death at all.
Either way you have to establish what bonfires do.

>>
>>383444902

It's certainly got some issues (grinding for items is shit, backtracking is a pain in the ass, some text is badly translated), but otherwise it's a serviceable Castlevania game.
>>
>>383443994
>stalemate

Alucard was essentially unphased by his attacks, he only got stuck at the end when Trevor managed to get his knife right against his heart. Otherwise Trevor was getting curb stomped like a motherfucker.
>>
>>383441128
Simon's cool and all but there's no story to work with there, no characters for him to talk to, no real motivation other than "dracula is in castle, kill his ass". Not to mention, if they put CV1, 2 and Rondo between CV3 and SOTN, people will have forgotten Alucard's relevance and what happened to his mother.

I bring up SOTN because I assume based on the intro to this season, SOTN is what they want to build up to. It makes sense, it's probably the most well known game in the series these days.
>>
I'm sad that it doesn't use muh Lament of Innocence lore, but enjoyed it. Can't wait for more.
>>
>>383441128
What a series about Simon would be like? He has no support cast.
>>

>>383445148
Alucard was getting destroyed until he managed to get the whip out of Trevor's hands. It's only when Trevor started fighting with the sword that Alucard tore him apart.
>>
>>383444902
Play a retranslation romhack of Simon's Quest and it'll be fine. If you play the original, don't expect to finish it unless you use a guide.
>>
>>383445297
I don't think anything in it contradicted Lament, did it? It was all just CV3 and SOTN lore.
>>
>>383443793
If the protagonist is the chosen undead, silent protagonist can be done, or give him minimal dialogue and surround him with colorful characters that he meets and fights with in each episode like onion knight, solaire, bosses, etc.

Or it could be a series about a random undead or someone like Solaire or even Artorias.
>A series about Artorias in his glory

Yeah, Richter has Maria, his fiancee, and the other kidnapped maidens. Alucard in SOTN has Maria, Richter, Death, and the less hostile denizens of the castle to interact with. Simon only has the townsfolk in CV2.
>>
>>383438448
>moves at its own pace
Not really sure what you mean. The pacing of the adaptation sucked imo. I would have loved way more Dracula x Lisa.

And I consider the fact we only got four episodes and have to wait like a year for another eight to be a part of pacing, and that's a major fucking pacing issue. Netflix should increase the budget or staff.

But I agree with everything else. Great adaptation so far.
>>
>>383445297
Well they already had to compress what rightfully should have been an entire episode of its own into a five minutes scene between Lisa and Dracula. To add Elisabetha and Mathias to it would be too much. But I hope we get references to that in the second season.
>>
>>383445507
Gross, but I agree. Dracula should have been the whole show, he's the coolest.
>>
>>383445507
>it's actually the way he moves around in his boss fights in-game too

Lmao did you even watch the fight?

>gets hit twice by the whip
>kicked where his nuts would be
>headbutted once
>slashed in his chest
>most of those hits drew blood and made him visibly recoil from the pain

Meanwhile he only got two, maybe three punches in and that was only after he started using his vampire powers, and when he got the upper hand it happened because Belmont was fighting with a generic shortsword that broke against his (probably magical) fancy sword. Then he had the bright idea to get close enough to get fucking staked. While fighting a fucking VAMPIRE HUNTER.

Alucard a shit, mate.
>>
Weren't we supposed to get a Zelda one of these? I remember it only because of all those meme cast lists SJWs put out where everyone was a trans black gay dwarf. Hopefully they've dropped the whole thing. Castlevania was good as fuck though, I really hope Grant is in Season 2, seems like he always gets shafted.
>>
>>383445942
What I meant was it wasn't rushing anything like most videogame or book adaptations do, and it certainly didn't draw anything out too much.
>>
>>383445351
>>383445295
Simon is still a legacy that the people after him followed, which is still a tale told for a couple generations, which is when JUSTE comes in, with family and friends. Simon's chapter can be told in a shorter miniseries. Or a movie, was was originally planned for Trevor.

Then again, this is also done by Warren Ellis, who can be loose with creative liberties.
>>
>>383441623

Why would that trigger anyone? It's a game about spooky ghosts and demons n shit.
>>
Stop praising this overrated, religion-bashing trash.
>>
>>383445687
I guess, but Drac seemed to be pretty foreveralone.jpg until Lisa. Though you're right that they don't actually go into his origins. If they did use Lament as the origin, I would fucking love it. Dracula as a villain who keeps getting fucked by love and hates the world is pretty classic.

>>383445959
I have hope!
>>
>>383446336
Again, relevance in lore isn't as important as how well the game lends itself to telling a story. Rondo and SOTN could work well, CV1 couldn't. CV2 MAYBE could but glossing over the events of CV1 in an episode or two would just piss off the fanboys.
>>
>they didn't put the best waifu in there
>>
>>383446162
I just can't see Zelda working. Stretching one game out to multiple seasons would bore people, giving characters voices would and already has pissed people off, having each season be basically the same story in different eras/settings would be boring.

What could you do with Zelda that wouldn't be shit?
>>
>>383446575
You know that story arcs can reopen after being closed, right? The series isn't all Alucard's family troubles. The series has always been Dracula vs the forces of "good". Basically, it is about Dracula's long millenia of life, and skipping to the next game with the Wife and Kid dilemma would just fall short eventually. It would be rushing it, which is what this series is not doing.

This subversion of expectations would have an even stronger effect.

We already got that, the guy was basically requesting a full episode of budding romance between Lisa and Drac, that just seems like a terrible way to start off your action-horror series.

This series made me go back and start replaying a bunch of classic Castlevanias. 3 is still my fave.

And I'm still decent at it, too. It's fun to pick up Alucard, beat the game, and then use him in Syfa's path during hard mode. He can pick up a handful of extra lives easily and he makes several sections along that path a lot more manageable.

Avoid the water ruins level in hard mode at all costs. I'm serious.
>>
>>383441128
Nobody cares about Christopher but you and me, anon.
They should do Richter then Symphony, then do Bloodlines and Portrait of Ruin.
I do hope Richter is a good boy instead of a gritty angry boy like Trevor is here.

It can still be interpreted as Gary Stu since he still retains his likable badass status in spite of the whole drunken asshole loser thing.

That being said, not that guy, and I like Trevor a lot even though he might be a little Gary Stu-ish, yes. He is a Belmont in a Castlevania title though, so it's fine.

Yeah first thing i thought as i finished it is that they want to work on the sotn and if they do like they did for this "season" itll be great

I thought the same thing about that scene. Are there really people who got pissed about it? I guess the whole "God's love is conditional" thing was iffy, but if you're not actually sorry about something murdering an innocent woman, well, that's how the bishop punched his express ticket to hell.

More like Trevor is a fucking badass and seeing a vampire got his Belmont blood pumping.
>>
>>383450000
Yeah, it would be dumb to have Richter be misanthropic like Trevor starts out as. Richter should start out extremely idealistic, happily engaged to his fiancee and then get dragged through the mud a little over the course of Rondo to make his turn in SOTN seem plausible. Obviously everyone knows he's being controlled by Shaft, but you still want to write the story as if people don't already know that.

Don't be like that gents. Think about it. If they could make Trevor and the rest of the monster slayer cast even cooler then they did in the games, image Assasind creed.

I like to believe the Belmonts are just a family of religious, knowledgeable, badass monster fighting motherfuckers in a world of ignorance, and that's why they're on top of the Dracula killing business. Everyone else is either too half-assed or doesn't even believe in that stuff, especially in the chronologically later games.

>>383451039
The "real" world part of the story was a shambling disaster that needed to be settled,

first game was pretty bland but had interesting gameplay and story concepts that would be improved on bythe second game.

After the triology concluded, they somehow regressed back to blandness, they just couldn't do anything with the gameplay and the missions were repetitive MC assassin was somehow even more boring then Altair. Only good thing was the ship segments

And speaking of which, they had a bit of a resurgence with black flag but the story wasn't nearly as strong as the Ezio trilogy but was vastly superior to AC and AC3.

After that. They literally go backwards so hard that they release a broken game. this is when everyone had had enough of Ubisoft and anything they put out since has been overshadowed.

What game do you want to see get a similar adaptation, and what would you like to see specifically about it?

I really liked this because it felt a bit like Claymore andI'm really sad Claymore ended where it did, the manga just wasn't enough for me either.
>>
>>383450840
I like Asscreed 1 the most

From Asscreed 2 onwards they stopped bothing to try making the game steath focused and just made it bland action-adventure trash

Regardless what I think of the series, I doubt a semi-realistic thing like Asscreed will be even half as fun as CV. Just look at the fucking asscreed movie.

Asscreed 2 has no reason to do anything but run in and just kill and kill and kill until you were done. You were an unstoppable killing machine. It had stealth mechanics but there was no reason to use them. It's like calling System Shock 2 a stealth game, yeah it has all the stealth mechanics from Thief baked into it, but no one plays it that way and the designers clearly intended it to be an action game.

>>
>>383453709
To be fair, up until Rondo of Blood, the characters didn't have personality. So there's no way one could say Trevor isn't an alcoholic in Castlevania 3. And Alucard is on point with what is shown of him in later games.

That said, in CV3, the opening credits make it clear in no uncertain terms that the pope himself recruits Trevor to kill Dracula. So the church being evil thing is not even close.

Despite inaccuracies though I found it enjoyable, it was a LOT more profane and violent than I was expecting, which is always refreshing. I mean you get to see an actual baby get eaten in this.
>>
>>383453709
They made Trevor into an actually cool character compared to the game. You see him develop from reluctant hero to someone you can consider a "get shit done" leader.
>>
>>383453493
also there's a boss fight with a fancy british butler who poisons you and then speeds up time so the poison instantly kills you.

shit's crazy, also Hector has like a billion moves, especially with the fist weapons

>>383453087
It is, because it's not a fun stealth game, it's just a boring ass zelda clone without any of the things that make zelda fun. Sure it has a neat setting and the characters were likeable but the gameplay and level design were dogshit.
>>
>>383453709
Not really, cv3 is a nes game so there was hardly any characterization.
I absolutely love the added character and quirks, from the 3 main characters only alucard somewhat had a stablished personality and it's following it perfectly here.

>>383454063

I know story is light but making Trevor into Jack Sparrow seemed like it would upset a lot of people. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it a lot. Just thought it might be because I had no prior attachment to the franchise. Glad to hear most everyone is satisfied with it.

Are those 4 episodes all there will be of season 1? Or is it going to be weekly?
>>
>>383454063
The whole excommunication thing is the only thing I didn't like about it, since Trevor implies that it was the Pope that did it. It would have been fine if it was just the Archbishop and bishop who were corrupt, but to imply the Pope is too? Lame.
>>
>>383453709
Eh... not really, to be honest. It's not like the characters had much going for them in the first place. The vast majority of the Belmonts are just Conan-esque generic hero dudes and Sypha was just her game's resident female. The only one among them with something close to an established character arc was Alucard, and they seem to be following his damn near down to the letter. The bits with Lisa and Drac are practically right out of SOTN.

I'm also impressed with how Ellis expanded some of the lesser bits of lore from the game manuals and shit. Like the Belmont clan's excommunication or whatever. That was a whole plot arc taken from maybe a single line in the CV3 manual. It's pretty damn baller if you ask me.
>>
>>383454179
Hahaha fuck I forgot about St. Germain. That was some serious bullshit.
>>
>>383454334
thats literally in cv3 tho.
Trevor is the first belmont to actually hunt and kill Dracula, before that, belmonts were just a vampire killer clan that fell off glory and were excomunicated
>>
>>383454334
Isn't it set around the era of Rodrigo Borgia? If so, the Pope WAS corrupt through and through.
>>
>>383454446
>You kill him
>The faggot turns back time and heals
Fuck that british bastard
>>383454334
IIRC it's implied they do get excomunicated and further persecuted and thus why the vampire killer ends in the hands of non-Belmonts (Bloodlines and PoR) and it's implied the Belmonts are hiding (OoE) until Julius finally seals Dracula for good.

>>383454597
After CV3, belmonts are celebrated as heroes and always called in to fight dracula, with time even making a whole town around them.
The vampire killer leaves the Belmont family after richter goes apeshit in sotn and maria fucked off with alucard, leaving the Morris to safe keep it until Julius.

Portrait of Ruin is a decent enough place to start, final boss will probably kick your ass though.

If you want a hard as hell action platformer, play 1, 3, 4 or Rondo.

If you want something similar to Metroid, play SOTN, COTM, AOS, DOS, POR or OOE.

Castlevania rondo of blood/dracula x chronicles if you have a psp

From there you can play the portable games, gba and ds, leave aria/dawn of sorrow for last, probably should play bloodlines before portrait of ruin.

And from there, the rest of the series like the ps2 games, remakes, cv2, super castlevania 4, etc.

All those games hold up perfectly and are extremely fun, if sometimes a bit balls to the wall hard like in the case of 3.

classicvanias are straightforward hardcore action games.
You jump over platforms and obstacles and kill enemies in a straight line to the boss, kill it, then next level.

Metroidvania is exactly what it sounds like, you explore a giant open environment slowly gaining new abilities that allow you to enter areas you couldn't before. These also have a heavy dose of RPG elements.

Metroid vania is the evolved form of all classicvanias mixed together, with emphasis on exploration with rpg elements

>>383455560
One is press right to advance, the other has backtracking and often RPG elements (you permanently increase in strength as the game progresses).

To go further, Metroidvania enemies are numerous and trivial and meant to offer little challenge outside of mini-bosses, Castlevania enemies are meant to be numerous but challenging and placed in a way that's meant to complicate the platforming.
>>
>>383455560
To add
A lot of people skip over classicvanias, don't do this.
>>
>>383455737
Even if it works well in context, it would never work because no one could ever take it seriously. Best they could do is throw in a little reference, like a single line of the dialogue or the throwing of the wine glass (like what they did with Soma in Julius Mode).

Dracula X Chronicles is a 2.5D remake of Rondo. It has the original Rondo and SOTN as unlockables but it has a new script and dub for SOTN which is probably a little more professional but also has no character to it whatsoever.

Samurai Jack was a show that eleganlty told a story through the animation almost single handlily. It had its dark and light moments and we got to see amazing ideas thrown about on the premise of a samurai warrior of the past being put trapped in a futuristic and beautiful yet ruined and dystopian world.

Dark souls fits into that kinda Samurai Jack like mold pretty well at certain points but for an anime like that to work; you'd have to have SJ's team be willing to work on the thing, otherwise in anyone else's hands, things can go horribly wrong.

You are mostly neutral, story deals with perception of right and wrong and in the end both factions did questionable stuff.
In latter games Templars are all mostly mustache twirling stereotypes, while Assassins are the generic Good guy faction (with Rogue being the exception, although they just switched their alignment around)

All in all the game was on a good track with 1 and then deviated to Hollywood.

And although I liked the characters and gameplay of the Ezio Trilogy, I can't help and wonder what wouldve happened if they'd stuck more closely to the original.

No you dolt, cursing isn't the problem. Tonally inappropriate cursing is the problem.
When there's a shock moment happens and demons are eating babies and ripping heads off spines with their teeth, and then one scene later Trevor is kicked in the dick while carnival music is playing and comically says "oh shit" any attempt at tension flies out the window

It's to show that Trevor doesn't really give a shit about what's happening and that has reluctant to help. It'd be severely against his character they set up for him to say "I am a hero and must save the day" in a very serious tone just because the previous scene had a dark tone. They need to leave room for growth for him.

Do you know anything about story telling? If every scene had the same tone as the previous scene, there would be no proper conveyance of emotion or character.

Obviously that's a bit of indulgence on my part, but he's not even complaining about a major tone shift. In a shitty bar and participating in a bar fight over something stupid is likely where you'll find Trevor. If Trevor was a straight edge, sober man with a sense of duty and pride, then yeah, the bar scene would be totally out of place. He's not, though.
>>
>>383463202
This is a common misconception, Julius did NOT kill Dracula for good. He beat Dracula just like most other Belmonts did, then a Hakuba shrine maiden did the sealing. Alucard also helped in the battle, PLUS there's speculation that either Jonathan Morris or his son helped since they had to pass the whip to Julius at some point. Saying Julius killed Dracula for good is an exaggeration, he was only involved.

Although it might mean this scene wouldn't exist, I kind of wanted the bishop to survive. I thought they were gonna do a whole irony thing with the bishop being the sole survivor of Dracula's attack, and that he somehow might even become a sort of major villian. Maybe even joining Dracula somehow.

No idea how any of that would work though.

Hey man, sheep maybe stupid and Trevor knows that pretty well. But throughout the events, he understands that if he doesn't do something, no one will and becomes less of the reluctant hero to someone that can be considered a leader.

He essentially gets his shit together. To an extent.
>>
>>383463859
It's a tonal shift, but not an out of place one. In fact, it was purposeful. Have you not noticed the theme in the show that doing nothing in the face of evil is just as bad as doing evil itself? They actually flat out say that a few times. Showing Trevor doing nothing right after showing people getting killed was the fucking point.

Except episodes later as soon as the people are given a speech about how a random church lackie they all previously believed to be saving them is evil, they immediately impale him with pitchforks proving that people are just as blood thrifty as the demons.

>>383467340

It was a little silly, but not everyone believed the church was saving them. If you recall, when Trevor was talking to the towns people, most believed in the seers or whatever theh ell they were called and the Sleeping Knight. They just weren't talking out against the church out of fear.

So when you have a guy not only killing all of the other priests with no problem, but also calling them out on their bullshit and telling the people that they are in fact the problem for it all, I can see why they'd turn so fast.

It was definitely pro-God if nothing else. In the end the bishop was shown to be intrinsically evil and God had turned away from his for his vindicative enterprise as well as Dracula himself twice mentioning his fear of holy symbols while Alucard harbors no such fear, and in the season finale Trevor praises the priest for sanctifying the water. This places the protagonists strictly on the side of God.

I enjoyed the show, but my favorite part of castlevania has always been the robust enemy variety. With the whip action looking so sweet in the show, I'm disappointed it was only used on generic vampires, a cyclops and some evil catholic priests straight out of a fedoras imagination.

How much of this was already known about alucards mother? I remember the succubus boss fight in sotn where it shows her dying scene, but I had no idea she literally married dracula and had him live as a normal man / traveling the earth for years while they were married. I just assumed he fucked her and decided to let her live since she had a kid or something.

But it's not good adaptation either. It has some bullshit included in story such as act of mercy (first Dracula says only to grandma to leave village at the same day and it's his last act of mercy, than he gives freaking year to whole Wallachia). Animation is more or less ok, but sometimes it look pretty bad. It's pacing is way too slow imo, first two eps could be pretty much merged or even be shorter than 1 ep without losing anything. Anything beside I think is ok. Probably still one of the best adaptations of video games ever. There is still a lot of place to improve tho. Just remember that adaptation must be changed somehow to make it better, mostly because it's way different medium.
>>
Everything about this was great except for those brief moments when characters start talking like they're in Warren Ellis comics.

The moment the guy started talking about sheepfucking in the first ep I was like NO PLS WARREN NO. But thankfully, those moments were few and far between.

It was bueno. I am looking forward to season 2.

Why the fuck is it important that the priest administering the holy water was properly ordained, if it's by the evil church that apparently fell out of favor with god?

Works never cut it, that's the point. Paul goes into this quite a bit in Romans. You've got all these laws that God gave to Moses to give to Israel but in effect all they did was simply highlight everyone's sin and how they weren't good enough because the law itself doesn't save. So Jesus came to save everyone, among other things. It's also why Paul is known as the apostle to the Gentiles (in addition to the fact that he preached 90% to Gentiles).

I had the reverse effect, I was so fucking happy they finally put away their fedoras and worked the magical holy weapons into the plot.

Because, you know, they were in the fucking game, along with Sypha's magic.

I think the biggest issues I have with modern Japanese games and anime, is that it's full of manchildren.

They like to have fun, unlike "everything needs to be super realistic and dark" Americans, but they never grow out of shit like childish power of friendship plots, there's very little that's thought provoking, or actions by protagonists that could be viewed as even slightly morally grey.

That's mostly shonen anime, but most shit I've seen outside of these days are comedy anime are moe girls doing moe things and ecchi stuff

That's why I love shit by westaboos, or American weebs in this case.

They can have the best of both worlds, shit like MGS that can be realistic in one moment, and have silly anime battles is top tier for me.
>>
>>383477626

I feel you, but this is the first Castevania related animation, I think staying close to the games is a good thing.
>>
>>383478103
>They can have the best of both worlds,
While that's a good point, you are still exaggerating about the anime series and anime inspired games, you clearly don't watch/play many of them, even in the previous season we had the first part of Rage of Bahamut:VS and Uchouten Kazoku, maybe they can't appeal you for some reasons, but they have nothing to with what you are complaining about, and that's just a most recent example. The other things is that there are many series can have both some pretty common animesque elements while also doing their own things and the results is a pretty personal mix, like the monogatari series in anime, in vidya P5 with its own theme about society and obviously Taro's games which are very personal works. Then there are the ones that makes the usual anime archetypes tropes very well with enough variations to not make them feel stale, like Berseria's cast. With all its limitations, the "weeb" world has much more nuances than what you described. And that's without taking into consideration manga, in that case what you said is much more limited.
