Been playing Castlevania: Circle of the moon for GBA. Its one I've never beaten. I always seem to lose interest in it, but this time I'm determined to finally beat it. I have to say that Harmony and Aria are much better Castlevania games, but this one is still good.

Harmony is my favourite to play but it and aria have terrible music. It hurts my ears. Circle of the moon sounds better.

From what i remember, i can agree with that.

Harmony had big empty rooms. It was like 'We've got this new castlevania game but didn't add any assets. Let's just rush it out the door".

I think Aria is the best playing of the GBA ones followed by Circle of the Moon.

After playing Circle, i may go back and replay harmony and Aria. its been such a long time since i've played them. I just remember having more fun with Harmony and Aria

CotM's soundtrack was jarringly good...I still think it's a better game than Harmony and its garbage soundtrack. Aria trumps them all though, IMHO.

All this talk just reminds me how great the GBA was. I miss my SP.

Just playing a game I don't have to think to hard to beat. Or play.

So after completing Castlevania COTM, i decided to play HOD again. Its been about 10 years since i last beat it. I just beat it last night, and i did enjoy it, but not as well as i remember, and it was way to easy. The music is good, but the sound quality is not. I still prefer it over COTM, and i think that has to do with the fact that both games are metroidvania style, but COTM doesn't have all the elements of a metroidvania castlevania title. Its missing the shops,dashing,downward kick jump ect. Not sure if i will play Aria next, or take a little break

Still working through Valis 3 on the Mega Drive. It's going smooth, except I can't get past Stage 5 because of some bullshit platforming. I'm sure I'll be able to eventually beat it though.

EDIT: Just after posting this I realized you could slide under these things in Stage 5. I feel dumb. https://youtu.be/2PXy7jsQVQg?t=221

Beat Assassin's Creed III. The story took about 6 hours to get past the "tutorial" stage, but I've been having a lot of fun doing free-roam in the wilderness and Colonial Boston! The combat is amazingly brutal as well.

I still prefer Black Flag and Rogue, but it's definitely better than Unity.

finished off new game + in Dark Souls 3 today. Got the hollowing ending. Really looking forward to the DLC

on Sunday I decided to take on the original Castlevania. Surprisingly I made it past Death (using the cross though). Then I had to take care of other business. Next weekend I'm gonna finish it for old time sake (last time was back in 89).

All of this Castelvania talk. 


Now I am wondering what was the more critically acclaimed games in the series for each platform.

CV III for NES ID SAY

followed by Vampire Kiss on the SNES (honestly enjoy it more then IV

PCE only had the one same for Genesis.

GB. Uh. Let's go with Adventure. Why not.

GBA Harmony was good but I tend to remember enjoying Aria more.

DS order of escala was good

N64 I enjoyed the N64 game but hear Legacybis better. Have yet to play.

PS1 most would say Symphany but I liked that arcade port remake of the first game a lot more. Might have more to do with the fact I never actually beat Symphany.

PS2 lament was great. However, I do want to try darkness one day which was also on the xbox

PS3. I liked lords a lot have yet to play part two or that HD port of the two portalble games in that series.

Wii. I hear there is a great eshop game I never played and the only physical game is that fighting game that didn't do all that great.  Never play any game on the Wii though.

How odd, I've also been jumping on the Castlevania train lately.  I've mostly been playing Drac X on the PCE, but I also just got the N64 game (the first one) and I've yet to try it out.  Lots of people trash it, but I don't think it looks too awful even with the wonky camera.  This is also coming from a guy who's "first golden age of gaming" was playing Shadows of the Empire, Rogue Squadron & Beetle Adventure Racing on the N64 -.-'

Anyway, Drac X continues to grow on me more & more, but it still seems so difficult like most of the pre-metroidvania games.  I've unlocked Maria & she seems to make the game a little easier.  Anyone else notice using her makes the game almost feel like El Viento?

I've never been able to beat Castlevania III. II is a cakewalk esp if you have a walkthrough/know the gibberish, and I was challenging but achievable. III spanks me down and calls me a bitch every time I try to step up to it. That mimic boss and his level just destroy my hopes
