I did this and fought Death right after Manticore.

>>384481790
On accident? Either way, damn. At least you get some good experience and souls early as well.
Did it affect Hammer's shop any though?

>>384481790
How did they even miss that.

>>384482075
Maybe they patched it later in one of those 1.1 releases, like for the doublepack with HoD.

>>384481790
Rather, after Great Armor. I always forget that thing is a boss. Once you get the double jump from him though, you can really get around.

>>384482035
It was on purpose. I've played the game too many times to do it normally again. I didn't think to check Hammer's shop very quickly afterward so I don't know if it was different from usual.

I literally cannot beat death and I'm pulling my hair out. Why the fuck does his second form do so much damage. Why the fuck is the spinning scythe so hard to dodge

>>384482075
Corners of platforms have rounded edges, probably just to make platforming a bit smoother. I guess they didn't realize that means you could clip onto that one from the side, though.

>>384482352
For the second form, if he throws it in the middle, just duck. It'll look like it'll hit you but it shouldn't. Otherwise, he'll boomerang it around, in which case it's pretty easy to time when to jump over it, or do some other attack, I don't remember, so it's probably easy enough to dodge.

Thanks. I was very specifically looking for HD footage of Legacy of Darkness. For some reason, everything on Youtube is low resolution muddy mess. And Games Done Quick did a direct capture from an N64, meaning it's hella blurry.

I would love to see Legacy of Darkness built in a new 3D engine, giving it 60fps, and better camera controls.

It only ever happened to me on PJ64 several years ago, so I'm thinking it was just a freak accident brought about by the emulator.

i hate the grind for souls in this game, mostly because there's no way to stop experience gains so by the time you get souls that you want you've also gained several levels along with your new ability

even on hard mode i feel like i got overleveled

Ascalon is pretty much Claimh Solais if you didn't find Claimh Solais. Balmung is good too, Dainslef or the elemental swords (Vjaya/Laevatainn/the dark one/maybe Rahab but it might be a bit weak for Julius&chaos) can do the job

Harmony of Dissonance was pretty fun but short desu. Beat it in 5 hours and that was with me getting lost for at least 40 minutes of that. I looked up the correct order and I did it completely out of order so I was happy I had the freedom to do that by mistake.

Why use "ludo" as if it is the vidya equivalent of "kino"? "Ludo" comes from the latin word "ludus" for game, while "kino" is the german derivative of "cinema", which is of greek origin.
Why not just use "vidya"? It is a shorthand for "video games" the same way "kino" is a shorthand for "cinema", while no one actually uses anything related to "ludus" when talking about vidya in day to day life.

I didn't mind Claimh Solais' ludicrous reach being limited to a special attack in Dawn of Sorrow, but the flat sound it makes when it hits pissed me off. It's a sword of light, not a magical triangle.

>>384486853
I used Alucard's sword and spammed its special attack. You are invincible during the animation, and if you time it perfectly, you can flow from attack to attack, making you literally immortal. Probably not the best tactic, but was able to beat him at a fairly low level.

I just wanted more AoS. I don't care how or what. I'd play inverted castle AoS if I could.

>>384513334
That's Circle of the Moon, the first one for GBA.
In Portrait of Ruin you use 2 characters, a traditional weapon user and a witch.

>>384513414
>Considering SotN extends its length via inverted castle, this is a good thing.

Inverted Castle was great. All new enemies, with new patterns, and the castle is all opened up. It takes much less time to beat, and feels like a boss rush. You can view the game as progressively giving you more and more freedom as you go. At first you have one path to go. Then you have two. Then you have 3 or more potential paths. Then there's optional areas. Then they give you this entire Castle and you can go in every direction.

you'll probably need a walkthrough halfway through, because Castle A and B merging is confusing but it's a really cool game.

>>384513597
My biggest problem is that the platforming is incredibly dull in that entire section.

>>384514128
at that point it's hardly about platforming anymore. considering you can fly, double jump,super jump and super dash, you barely have to touch the ground if you don't want to.

>>384482352
bitch pls. when he rotates it and makes it go through the whole area just double jump in the middle to dodge it. at the same time you can smash his back in since he's vulnerable and only waiting for the scythe to come back.

it's far from the worst. the worst is literally Circle of the Moon considering how short that game is.

that's also the reason why they released a 2-in-1 cartridge with both AoS and HoD and didn't give a single fuck about CotM.

Not really. I am actually quite optimistic and am pretty excited for it.
I can past it being ugly as fuck and the demos have been good as far as gameplay is concerned.

But even if it was to end up absolutely amazing. It still wouldn't be Castlevania. Castlevania as we know it would still be over. And the best one could hope for then would be for Bloodstained build itself into a respectable franchise following the first game.
But that would take time. And still wouldn't be the same.

Replayed CotM with "always dash" cheat it was better than ever before.

The funny thing about playing that way is it gives you a tiny bit of boost right after you wall-jump, so it's possible to scale one wall (very slowly). This allowed me to do a neat sequence break and fight Camilla early on in the game.

The big draw of Metroidvanias are the giant interconnected mazelike maps that you explore and uncover as you gain abilities, the whole genre is defined by the kind of exploration that Super Metroid and SotN share despite gameplay/tone differences
Don't get me wrong, I love Castlevania gameplay, its probably the reason most "metroidvanias" fail to scratch the itch for me since they often opt for far simpler/slower gameplay. That said, it was such a bummer going into OoE with some new mechanics just to be greeted by like 20 linear hallways that don't even pretend to be connected, then once you get to the proper castle, which is what the whole game should've been like, the game ends the next minute. I don't even get to explore the world and find these places since they're not connected, I'm given a road to walk before I get the choice to walk in a different straight line.

I don't even mind multiple maps/levels, I just wish they where fleshed out, PoR had a nice balance even if some of the paintings fell into a bit of a formula on the layouts, but there where fewer areas than OoE and each where more than a few rooms in what amounts to a straight line.

OoE castle was amazing, I would've much preferred the rest of the game had been condensed to a few, equally diverse and expansive areas. Could still work with the way progress is set up, instead of having a bunch of outdoor or mountain maps have one big mountain/forest which you enter through different spots and slowly fill out. Or just have the whole damn world interconnected to begin with like its always been

I need new metroidmanias to play, already played all the well-known ones. Ori's okay and Environmental Station Alpha is good but it's balls to the walls hard. Rabi Ribi is alright too but the faggoty aesthetic is too much. I liked Guacamemele but there's not really any replay value in it.

It sounds like the issue you have is not really the inclusion of the map so much, but the linear design of some areas.

I consider the map a bonus, because it means I never have to go back through those boring areas like the woods or the swamp again. I think of it as just another method of fast travel.

In the Dark World everybody was cursed into animals, enemies were tougher, dungeons were more complex. Castle B had nothing going for it, just more empty corridors with worse palettes. Castle A is already bloody, gothic, and chaotic, there's no coherent shift in tone when you get to B. You just blindly stumble into it halfway through Castle A so there's not even a marked difficulty increase. It sucks.

That's the problem though, if the map isn't connected then what is the fucking point of these corridors you'll never visit again?
Before the whole map was a physical space so you can't get to point a to b without going through the spacein between, so every room is on the road to another. That one hallway has a bit of purpose and is at least considered just a small part of a bigger whole (the area itself and in turn the entire castle). I go through it cause i want to get to the other side, and its supplementary to the exploration of the map.
In OoE the connection is artificial and artbitrary, i go through the forest because it decided i needed to before i got to the next unrelated area, and after that I'll never touch it again, then why even make the forest? It doesn't end on a boss nor does it even build up to anything. What game could get away with an area or level thay simple and worthless? The level structure is retarded, being neither good as a metroidvania nor good as a level based platformer
