Re: Not the OP

I didn't even finish CoD that's how horrible that game was.

SotN is by far the best and close to that in my opinion is AoS -- I've yet to play DoS because I lack a DS. :\

The early games aren't worth replaying either. I picked up a ROM of Simon's Quest about two years ago and ended up wanting to hang myself. I remember being about seven and having similar feelings.

Part of me misses Castlevania II (my first CV ever) and part of me plays Castlevania X and cringes knowing games were so much harder in large part due to the bad controls. I don't know if we were hardcore back then or just used to low standards.

Dawn of Sorrow was the first DS game I ever played... it was ok, but PoR was so much better. It's a must-have, if you do ever consider picking up a DS. (Igarashi said they were going to make another DS-only CV!)

Re: Not the OP

[klytaemnestra.livejournal.com]

Yeah it was my first CV, as well. I think the early games were just difficult by default. I've noticed that a lot of the first games I played were almost impossible to beat. Bad controls, lack of information ... how if you hit the water you'd die. I guess we didn't know any better.

A DS is definitely on my list especially now that they have the new streamlined version out.

Re: Not the OP

And they come in all manner of pretty colors now! :oD

The things that kill me about the old-school controls of Castlevania X right now are the stairs (gotta press up, or else you fall off and then Lord knows what happens next), the timing (Maria/Richter is always slower to the punch than the enemy, though Maria less so), and not being able to improve one's life bar as one progresses. I managed to unlock SotN though, which was the main thing. ;o)

People can say what they will about games not being as challenging these days... I think they're better. Technology is able to give us a more fluid and faster-paced gaming experience, and there can't be anything wrong with that, can there?
