What went wrong?

>>385261665
There's no getting around the Church being dickish in CV3's plot. That said, obscuring Trevor's faith and particularly making Sypha some sort of magic gypsy was a tacky fucking move, when the Belnades/Fernandez clan has always provided the Church with holy witches to fight evil. If they ever do an adaptation of another game with a Belnades in it they're going to have a lot of backtracking to do.

>>385261665
I am kinda OK with the church being dicks due to the backstory with Lisa, but I am really hoping that the "LOLZ THE CHURCH IS THE BAD GUYS" stuff gets left behind when they make more episodes.

Worst Castlevania

>>385264942
>>385264890
Aight, i probably should have explained myself better.

What's the hardest metroidvania style in the castlevania series? Aria of sorrow & symphony of the night were fun, but not very challenging

>>385262070
>>385260182
Why didn't you fight her? I was let down.

>>385265158
CotM and OoE.

>>385265158

>>385265158
Portrait of Ruin/Order of Ecclesia fresh lvl 1. Hard run

>>385265349
>>385265356

>>385265356

Have you not gotten 1000 daggers yet?

Kind of wished she was a true final boss or something.

>>385265580
You asked for hard, not fun. Both of this modes are all about doing all levels perfectly, since you can only take one or two hits before dying.

>>385265873
But I do shit damage

>>385265962
Learn to abuse jump attack /land/ standing attack to maximize your damage output. Also learn to dodge and memorize enemy patterns.

why even live.

why is time stop such fucking trash in aria of sorrow? what a waste of such a cool ability

>>385265007
is it really not worth playing?

>>385269450
It's not a particularly good game, but it can be fairly enjoyable if you use a map and know how to pass the cryptic parts. After all, the controls still feel just like CV1 and CV3, so at least it plays pretty well. It was just a very underwhelming followup to CV1 and a failed experiment, but the degree to which it sucked was blown out of proportion by the internet, in my opinion. All in all, you won't miss much if you skip it, but if you've got nothing else left to play of the series, it might be worth a try just to see.

>>385268080
You can use your mouse for the touch screen bits.

can you get past the cryptic parts without a guide

>>385270723
Probably not. The NPC dialogue is mostly useless, and what hints they do give you are pretty bad. People tend to bring the cryptic parts up whenever the game is mentioned, though, so I imagine you've probably heard about them already, like what to do with the red and blue crystals, that sort of thing. If not, I don't know that you'd be able to figure them out without a guide, but there's really only like 3 things I remember being overly cryptic needed to beat the game, the red and blue crystals being two of them.

Play the properly translated version.

>>385267892
Is this real?

>>385273295
Woah...

>>385273464
Yes. But you have to do the side-quest first.

>>385273509
indeed

>>385273148
So it's only cryptic due to poor translation?

>>385274292
The original japanese game was a little cryptic, but not to the extent the original english game was

>>385274292
Yes.
I was able to actually beat the game playing the retranslated version.

>>385274528
was it fun?

>>385265158
Circle of the Moon and Order of Ecclesia as far as the base games go. If we're counting hard modes than Aria, Dawn, and especially Portrait are elevated quite a bit in terms of fresh runs.

>>385274614
Not really. I just went through to see if i was able to.
I enjoyed 1 and 3 more.

>tfw finally finished grinding for the soul eater ring

is it even worth the grind?

>>385274825
Fresh hard mode runs, as I said, are a lot more difficult than fresh runs in the default difficulty. Less so in Aria, but the jump is still noticeable and will be blatantly clear by the time you get to Death.

>>385274986
It is.

>>385274986
Start spamming Red Minotaur and find out.

>>385274825
He said hard mode tho.

>>385275125
Oh crap I thought >>385274986 you were talking about the chaos ring. Never mind. And yes, the soul eater ring i definitely helpful.

>>385260182

Would you play another sidescrolling Metroidvania?

I'd forgotten how fun Julius mode is in Aria of Sorrow. You really do feel like a legend.

DoS' Julius Mode is great but in different ways (leveling system, soma boss, partners, classic remixes). Julius himself gets hit with the nerf stick hard and his sprites/animations aren't that great.

She makes herself up to be the big bad in one game, but is cast aside and forgotten quickly.
She's barely a character.

hey castle/v/ania, is CV 64 worth playing?

>>385280836

Which castledroid would be best for a newbie?

>>385281359
Symphony or Aria.

>>385260182
She has to be the most fucking worthless villain in the series. Most of the villains in Jackie Chan Adventures were more menacing than her.

>>385282726
You don't even get to fight her.

where do I go after getting zephyr's soul

>>385281256
I think so. Give it and LoD a shot since the both games have different level layouts.

>>385283328
That's what I'm saying, aside from bringing the fire retard and the russian faggot to the castle I don't thing she does jack shit. Every time you see her she talks shit and vanishes while laughing like a dumbass. Even if her plan succeeds and Soma goes nuclear, she gets bitch slapped instantly. What the fuck did you expect you mongoloid, you pretty much just revived Satan and expected him to let you suck his cock. Fucking idiot.

>>385284420
I think the problem was how she revived vlad.

by killing his lover.
