Good article. @Secrets What's the plan for Luclin models on this server?

I would be willing to bet someone $1000 that this pivotal scene from Symphony of the Night doesn't make it into the Netflix adaptation. If anything they'll probably have Maria defeat Alucard and then be the one to go save Richter.

I see, so there's actually a six year time jump between SOTN's intro (Rondo's final battle) and the very next scene with Alucard heading for the castle. Not surprised the anime retcons Maria's age so they can just have one story move right into the next. Symphony could follow immediately after...

So what's the best way to watch this pander-fest? Get Paramount+? Also, fuck Disney.

Wait a minute, if Symphony immediately follows Rondo...how the hell does Maria age like 6 years between the two games? Just a retcon like the show is doing, I guess?

Alright but where does Kid Dracula fit into all this? Just kidding, that was pretty interesting stuff. So CVL and CotM were canon-scrubbed...that explains why they both seem to exist on such an island.

I want to be like the cool RMT kids too. WTB with real money a Manastone, Guise, JBoots, and a Rubicite suit. Also a level 50 character. Then I can log in and weep for I have no worlds left to conquer and log out

Nope, no Mirror of Fate or any of the console 3D CVs (the N64 ones and PS4 ones). Not into 3D CV for whatever reason, just really like the 2D ones. Same thing happened with Contra. Trying to keep the CV timeline straight is kinda hard since the games bounce around so much. Castlevania Legends...

Yeah, Trevor beating Death was the high point of the show, and good to see the main character actually get a win on his own. I'm mainly bummed that they just left Grant Dynasty out entirely.

Whoa, Harmony of Dissonance is a sequel to CV2? So it's got Simon? I'm playing Circle of the Moon a bit now and it takes place hundreds of years after the others, with a new guy who isn't a Belmont. Main thing I remember CotM for is the graphics being kinda dark and the sprites being tiny...

People like that also really like to project their own feelings onto others. They go on and on about "hate" while acting hateful. If someone doesn't like their behavior, that person is "literally killing them", but a day later they're saying how much better the world would be if we killed all...

I'd be willing to bet that nobody actually "harassed" that person.

I'm not surprised considering the previous Castlevania series (by the same people) had Sypha doing 90% of the heavy lifting in battles, male characters pretty much always losing 1v1 against female characters, and the lesbian vampire putting on a suit of armor and going full Berserk killing like...

Good idea. The greasiness is a real problem and drying them with paper towels doesn't get rid of all of it. Alright I'm trying this next, oven with foil. Oven is electric. Smithfield is the only one I haven't tried yet so it's next. Definitely don't recommend Oscar Meyer. Have one remaining...

Yeah I only sped through the 6 GBA/DS SOTN-likes ten years ago to "check them off" more or less. Barely even remember any of them. After giving SOTN a second run and getting to know it a bit better, now I want to give a second shot to those other 6 if I can find the time for them somewhere. The...

Yeah that's about what I figured. Beat the game, trying Maria mode now. I thought this was basically the same game just with Maria instead of Alucard, but nope, it's basically a "normal Castlevania" version of the game where you just need to fight through to and beat the bosses, no special items...

I was gonna say, the Fire Longsword is what got me through like a third of DS2. It's pretty easy to get in that first fortress area. When I initially played it and was having issues getting anywhere, finding that was the game changer where I started progressing.

Does this game have a speed booster type item like Super Metroid and Bloodstained do? Could have sworn it did, but I'm not having much luck looking it up. Saw something about an item that boosts runspeed in dog form, which is at least something, but I remember there being a way to run really...

Looking for some Bacon Insight. I'm just getting into bacon this year. Always liked it fine but never paid much attention to it. This year though I've suddenly got this thing for bacon. Maybe I need more salt, IDK. Noticed I've been fixing it a lot though. Have 3 different brands in the...

IMO they should do this more often. They could do a yearly Mario release easily if they're all like, the length of Mario Bros 3. Playing fanmade levels on Mario Maker 1 and 2, it was incredible the volume of quality level designs that were on there. Nintendo could commission fanmade levels and...

Yeah I don't know why people are Chris Hansening because she's a grown woman in SOTN. What did you in?

Yeah snowboard is probably third game. I doubt the current one is gonna go past the Forgotten City. Too bad because I think everybody's looking forward to snowboarding. It could actually be a selling point for the third game if they don't take that game off on some wild nonsensical tangent like...

So who's going to be playing Mario Wonder? I'm gonna probably get it day one. ...and probably also finish it day one. From what I played a few weeks ago on a reviewer copy, the game is gonna be pretty short by modern standards. Is there any real reason to emulate this instead of just getting...

After my friend died I reached for Death Stranding and played it quite a bit for a couple days. It's a good thing to play when depressed and bewildered and not wanting to have to think very much.

Yeah I'm thinking just in terms of playing classic (25th TLP will be out by then). Edit: Maybe Kunark too since it's in January. Seems like Cleric is the best option if I want to make use of all those things. Paladin is probably another good one that I didn't think of...maybe. they don't really...

Always wanted to get a Manastone in EQ and never could. Same with Rubicite. What class would benefit the most from a Manastone? Thinking the 3 pure healers. Maybe also Necro? What about if JBoots are added? Then Wizard probably also jumps up to that tier. Factor in Rubicite classes... I guess...

Wait, if you beat Dracula in the intro as Richter, you start with Alucard having higher stats? I didn't know this. I would have definitely done that myself. The one time I fought Dracula I nearly beat him, he was at like 10-20% HP. For how much this game emulates Super Metroid, it's cool that...

I recommend people give this a try, especially if they have a Series X. It looks a bit dated on PS3 (which is unfortunate because in-era it might have been the prettiest game on the system). Fixes a lot of what went wrong with FF13, refines the battle system a bit, has some good DLCs that are...

Thanks, that's about what I thought. I don't get why people refer to the DC game as "MK8" (and now the company does in canon as well since it later gave us 10 and 11). I don't see how MK Vs DC is a main series MK any more than spinoffs like Shaolin Monks are. I guess it plays like a regular MK...

I don't know how she is in this show, but for my money, gang, Maria in SOTN is one of the hottest game-babes in gaming history.

Any lore hounds in here able to tell me if I'm getting all of this right? Googling it resulted in a bunch of timelines and a general confusing mess. As I understand it: MK1-3: Shao Khan tries to take over Earthrealm, loses. Retreats back to Outworld after 3 MK4: Shinnok and Quan-Chi do things...

It won't help now, but yeah I figured I had to go that way. I might try this again at a later time when I need a Soulsborne and nothing new's readily available.

Playing this for Halloween. 2nd playthrough ever. PS4 version has playable Maria like Saturn, have to beat the game once though. May platinum it. Such a great game. That said, I sure ran real far without a save point here, think I took a wrong turn or something. I definitely prefer Super...
