Then what's the point? I wouldn't consider Castlevania horror at all, it's more like parody with all the 1930s monsters thrown together in one castle like they're having some kind of crazy get together.

Finishing up on the Castlevania GBA trilogy for the first time. Already got done with CoTM and Aria of Sorrow, going through HoD and really enjoying trekking through the Skeleton Caves. Kinda disappointed the enemies are so slow and stupid, though this applies to pretty much all of the Castlevania Metroidvanias. Want to try out some fun/goofy spooky games like MediEvil and looking for suggestions.

>>8200832
RoB and other Classicvanias need you to figure each enemies attack pattern and stage layout, just take your time and come up with a strategy that works, then it's just keeping yourself consistent from there.

it's pretty good especially for a 3rd party GameCube exclusive. the level design is a little more linear than i remember, but the atmosphere is still great and the overall production is solid. combat is a little stiff but not difficult to get used to. it's also a lot easier than your average resident evil game. i definitely recommend checking it out.

/doom/ is in the process of making a spooky levelset for Halloween, if you're interested.

>>8201307
It's not, particularly because you're a badass hero who can fight and defeat the monsters in combat, but it still has spooky trappings, leaning a lot on gothic horror concepts and visuals.
Kind of like how Doom, Splatterhouse, or Blood aren't horror games in any real sense, but they're steeped heavily in horror trappings, and occasionally get spooky.

I grabbed a copy of the reboot for PS3 a while back, because I got really into the old games and was curious. It's kind of lingered on my shelf for a while though, because life shat on me some.
I understand that it's a really troubled game, but which also has a few bright glimmers too, and I wanted to see it for myself. Since it has the original trilogy, that was decent incentive to get it at any rate.

Castlevania Legends. Never really played it before (beyond fucking around in the first level a while ago just to see what it's like); have already played the other GB Castlevania games which I don't like much and most of the other actually decent platformers in the series.

i haven't read the manual. i think i'm missing some details about pickups. sometimes i get a super whip and i'm not sure why. i also tried to loop in the first stage where you take the stairs down and kill mermen. i thought i might get 99 sub weapon points, but it's too tedious for me to mess with.

Horror is an aesthetic. The "scary" genre is the thriller, which can be horror themed but doesn't have to. Alternatively, a horror-themed something may be a comedy rather than a thriller.

Shadowman has a great atmosphere, exploratory level design, music, and some solid platforming Only real con is the combat is rather barebones.

I finished Medievil the other day. Goddamn, I love that game. I also got the plat in the remake, which isn't retro, but damn is that a good remake.
Then I started 2 for the first time in 15+ years, and man... I've known for a long time that the consensus was that it's worse than the first, but I really feel it now. And I definitely would have said I liked 2 more as a kid.

I'm not sure what to play next. I started up Shadow Tower, but I don't know if I'm interested in something so intense right now. I might play Parasite Eve for the first time instead.

The remake is fantastic. It's how remakes should be done. They included the important people, and those people still had passion for what they did, and it shows. I have very few gripes with it. And I completely agree with your sentiment on Medievil. I remember explaining to my friend when the remake came out that it's a great game, but mostly because it's more than the sum of its parts and not so much because it excels at everything.
2 is worth playing. I won't go into detail about its issues because I wouldn't want to color your experience anymore than it may already be. But there are some clear differences from the first that are not in its favor.

Yeah once you wrap your head around the trap mechanics it's fun as hell. Like they said, don't sweat the level requirements either. The penalties are very lenient and you can heal up just before crossing the finish line to meet the HP/adrenaline/etc. requirements. I only got a few thousand knocked off for being 15-20 minutes over the time parameter.

[Anonymous No.8241210]

>>8241115
That's because the story screen music is taken from Doom 2, which famously 'sampled' a lot of Alice In Chains, to name others. Not 1 to 1, but you can immediately tell what most tracks are based on when you hear them.
>Dirt
>Junkhead
>Rain When I Die
>Rooster
>Dam That River
>We Die Young
>Man In The Box
>God Smack
>Them Bones
>Angry Chair
These were all sampled, so most of the Dirt album, though they only ended up actually using the last two at all, the rest were only release as unused rough cuts many years after the games.

They also sampled a bunch of Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Sergeants Of Death, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, also some AC/DC, Soundgarden, Diamond Head, King Crimson, Stone Temple Pilots, Megadeth, and Body Count. Some very based music choices overall, and fits the games well, though as most of the music was 'samplings' like these, it's not the most original.
