Title: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: Christopher on July 19, 2007, 07:35:04 PM: From only playing Castlevania 4 and loving it, is SOTN worth like 10 bucks guys?

Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: Himu on July 19, 2007, 07:37:49 PM: It's just a silly question. Do you realize how many people GUSH over this game? It just goes without saying, that if you have not played SotN you should at least try it, whether you may like it or not.

It's like asking if you should play um...I don't know, Super Metroid or something. It's just something everyone will say yes to.

Post by: Robo on July 19, 2007, 07:43:41 PM: How the fuck did you miss out on practically the entire Castlevania series? You really wouldn't be so bad off just playing through all of them, sans the 3D ones and maybe Simon's Quest.

Concerning SotN, it probably isn't deserving of the hype it gets, but it's a pretty damn good game nonetheless.
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: Himu on July 19, 2007, 07:45:42 PM: I think SotN deserves the hype. The upside down castle sucks ass, but it deserves the hype. The recent CV's where people say IT'S BETTER THAN SOTN every single new entry? THOSE don't deserve the hype. Unless they're Portrait of Ruin. :bow

Post by: Human Snorenado on July 19, 2007, 08:10:56 PM: What Shenmue is to bad, SOTN is to good.

So yes. It's good.
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: The Sceneman on July 19, 2007, 08:35:05 PM: Its the 4th best game for PS1! Its a real fucking champion of a game title. Its soooooo cool. Muisc graphix and VA all KICK ASS. Oh and its REALLY FUN and AWESOME.
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: Van Cruncheon on July 19, 2007, 09:34:53 PM: SotN is the best Castlevania title.

SotN is the best Castlevania title.

I second this. Although I do think Portrait of Ruin is almost on Par with this game.

Now lets post awesome quotes from SotN:

You claim to love the darkness, now dwell there for all eter-nity (iirc)

Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: abrader on July 19, 2007, 11:02:49 PM: the game is good - but get it on XBLA for achievments...unless you want it for PSP...still id go for schievments on XBLA since I have the PSOne CDROM
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?

SotN is the best Castlevania title.

2nd best on a console, the first best is currently getting a remake on the PSP.

No spin zone.
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: tiesto on July 20, 2007, 12:17:47 AM: Fuck yeah, best Metroidvania and the second best CV ever (first being of course Rondo - a perfect bridge between Classicvania and Metroidvania). It's easily worth the $10.
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: Mr. Gundam on July 20, 2007, 12:46:07 AM: I'd be all over this on the Playstation Store if I didn't already own the Playstation original.

Super Metroid > SOTN
They're kind of the same game except that one has sci-fi trappings while the other is ohmigawth.

Post by: trippingmartian on July 20, 2007, 06:24:11 AM: I have a few hours logged into the XBLA one.

So far no whips in the game. WTF?

There is a "morning star" and a few other whip like weapons.

I cant remember too much as I havent played all the way thru it since I first had it on PSOne a long time ago.

Post by: Eduardo24 on July 20, 2007, 10:18:58 AM: Super Metroid is indeed better than SOTN. Most of the people that think otherwise are looking at the games with a very superficial way.

I won´t even botter explaining the differences, though, because I know people will call me an "Elitist" taco.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Even though they describe themselves as "Elitists" as an excuse to insult WiiFit. Not that I like that "game", just saying.

Post by: AdmiralViscen on July 20, 2007, 12:25:56 PM: I played SotN after the GBA/DS ones. I enjoyed myself more with AoS/DoS, even CotM.

Post by: abrader on July 20, 2007, 02:35:16 PM: Its like this....

CastleVania (MSX) >>>> CastleVania (NES) >>>>>> Super CastleVania 4 >>>>> CastleVania Rondo of Blood (TG16) >>>>>> CastleVania SOTN >>>>> CastleVania: LOI >>>>> CastleVania: Legacy of Darkness (N64) >>>>>> CastleVania: Curse of Darkness

The handheld Nintendo game castlevanias are the worst in the seriese - they are ALL like watered down versions of Symphony of the Night.

Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: Christopher on July 21, 2007, 02:43:42 PM: To be honest I like Super Castlevania more so far...the extremely good music just made it awesome to play through.

What are you playing it on?

The last area sucks.
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: The Sceneman on July 21, 2007, 10:50:12 PM: WTF, Super Castlevania IV has great tunes but SotN has one of the best game soundtracks ever
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: Himu on July 21, 2007, 10:50:48 PM: SotN's soundtrack makes my penis hard.
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: The Sceneman on July 21, 2007, 10:55:25 PM: Yep, Im going to listen to it right now as a matter of fact
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: y2kev on July 21, 2007, 11:43:10 PM: SOTN probably has the best, most varied soundtrack ever.
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: Christopher on July 25, 2007, 06:32:50 PM: Beat it.

Holy shit good game total.

Eh I didn't think the soundtrack trumps Castlevania 4 - but it def had some great tunes. I like the one where you first come in, and the main them when you go in caves in the inverted castle.

I dunno why Castlevania 4 was just wayy more catchy.
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: TVC15 on July 25, 2007, 06:33:55 PM: Castlevania 4 has more awesome rocking guitars hitting you in the face like a chainsaw to the cunt.

You beat it already, having not played it before? Did you get the true ending?
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: MrAngryFace on July 25, 2007, 09:20:08 PM: True ending ftw. I also loved all the ways to cheese rooms to get familiars up to level 99. My favorite was bat familiar in the zombie room overnight lol.
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: Christopher on July 26, 2007, 01:33:51 AM: Isn't the ending where Maria Richter and Alucard talk on the ledge after the castle goes down? And Alucard says they won't meet again.

Post by: Madrun Badrun on July 26, 2007, 01:37:53 AM: I think I liked circle of the moon the best but I never got to do the inverted castle in sotn. Is it worth rebuying on xbla if I dont own an hdtv and already have it on ps1?
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: The Sceneman on July 26, 2007, 01:42:12 AM: Circle of the Moon is overrated I think, I never really had that much fun playing it. I never did beat the last boss :'(
Title: Re: Is Castlevania: SotN good?
Post by: Madrun Badrun on July 26, 2007, 01:47:25 AM: it was my first castlevania so i'm bias. Just like I think mgs2 is the best for the same reason.
