Thread, tell me what Castlevania to play next. I don't have a gimmick in mind this year so I'm sort of spoiled for choice.

MinibarMatchman posted:enter the gungeon is "king of the genre?" it's only been out for maybe a year and the bossfights are tedious bullshit I wasn't necessarily talking about those games specifically, though I hear as much praise for Gungeon as detractors (never played it). If you want specifics though, I feel like a ton of people went nuts about Isaac and Rogue Legacy and Spelunky, all games I tried and didn't like, almost entirely because of the random element. I have terrible luck and the first like 20 runs will set up some bullshit that keeps me from ever trying them again. I beat RL entirely because you could lock the castle down and predictably that wasn't very fun.

Help Im Alive posted:I don't think there's really that much luck involved with Spelunky/Isaac. Like yeah Isaac can throw some bad items at you but with some practice you can win with pretty much anything. And with Spelunky once you get the hang of dealing with shopkeepers you have a super powerful weapon/a bunch of items/dozens of bombs etc every single run That's the thing though, I could spend more time getting good at recognizing patterns or whatever but all it really takes is one stupid bullshit thing to completely kill my interest and have me never play again. A weird comparison that is probably garbage is how I played the original Adventure Island this year. That game has maybe 6 or 7 actual levels spread out against 8 worlds with 4 levels each, it's just when you come across that archetype of level again they've tacked more bullshit on it, until the final levels are ridiculous. Part of the difficulty there was remembering what version of the level you're dealing with, because in earlier versions of any particular level certain spots would not be as dangerous. It's probably the hardest game I've ever beaten, because it specifically fucks with my expectations for a level by, say, throwing in a bat in a part that I zoomed past earlier (in addition to only having one hit and unforgiving checkpoints and just being difficult in general). I feel like not having a set level fucks with me in the same way, as I'll try to do similar challenges faster but then get owned by like an arrow trap and get tired of it before any level of mastery sets in. I dunno, sorry for the tortured comparison.

Also I can't remember the idiotic place I heard this from, but literally the only reason I tried Rogue Legacy was because someone compared it to the gameplay of the Metroid-like Castlevanias and I'm also an idiot. Obviously it is almost nothing like it outside of the aesthetic. That aesthetic is probably why I plugged along with it, though.

Plok is amazing simply for the fact that you go back home at some point and eventually you daydream about your granpappy and it cuts to the first world again except it's black and white and you're playing as Plok's granpappy and the levels are somewhat harder. It's just asset reuse but it's stupid and dumb and I love it.

I am playing Order of Ecclesia again and I had to bitch out of Hard mode because I think when I did the level 1 hard mode back in the day it was on new game + with all my equipment and glyphs. Trying to just beeline hard mode with a new save resulted in dying a fuckton in that first forest because everything does a third of your health in damage and they threw in a bunch of super fast randomly spawning flying skeleton monsters that are large and mimic the medusa head's pattern. I am going to get the medals for the bosses, though Maneater's didn't drop the first time for some reason. Also think I'm going to end the month of Castlevania by playing Nanobreaker and Folklore, the former since it's one of the few games IGA made that wasn't a Castlevania during that time period and the latter because I've never beaten it and I remember it having a Aria/Dawn like ability system where you get abilities from monsters. Also Folklore was the first PS3 game I ever had and I never played more than like three chapters on each character.

mutata posted:VR is pretty fun and neat. Maybe but the setup GiantBomb proved that either their setup was broken or the hardware itself was broken so maybe don't preorder it to find out which one it is. Dunno if they had trouble with the other systems at first or not. Sakurazuka posted:Bamco left it to swing but there's a fan patch that fixes everything but the 30 fps limit. I checked after the comment I made on it yesterday and they've been patching it, just really slowly. Though the last one came out late in September and supposedly was still fixing stuff that got fanpatched the month it came out.

Japan makes expensive poo poo because they're after the whales. Not many people will buy the stuff to begin with so they just make the most expensive stuff they can to get the most from the few who'll buy in. Idiots like me, for example.
