The best 3D Castlevania is...

[Lokgamer]

Is there a lot of backtracking in Souls games? I don't really like slow combat games, but what little souls I've played didn't involve platforming (or jumping for that matter). Personally, I don't see the comparison but that's probably because I despise both genres.

I hate that dang ol' Castlevania, but even I got the joke.

Joke? who was joking?

imo as far as interconnected gothic rpg worlds i dont think anything will ever top bloodborne. patiently waiting to be proven wrong

It's just the best. Were you as hyped and immediately disappointed by the Duskbloods trailer as I was?

Me at the start of the trailer: Wait... I feel like I know this... Something in me is screaming "hype!" Oh my god... Oh my god!! It couldn't be! It's not possible! On a Nintendo console?! It's Bloodbor--Duskbloods??? And it's PvPvE??? I'll never walk this trauma back...

I really liked Lament of Innocence.

Me too. It's kind of dopey, but in a really charming way. Plus the track from the first major area of the game might be my all-time favorite Castlevania track. And the bait-and-switch ending should have been infuriating, but I laughed my butt off and thanked Castlevania for its service. Such a fun, dumb, awesome game.

when the intro of it started i was having a weird feeling like "why do i feel like i know this" then the video showed the rune on the hand and started talkin about The Dream™ and instantly i knew it was at least related, was definitely disappointed to hear its not a full scale exploration, but im also keeping my mind open, as i know a full ass bloodborne or elden ring level production takes a long time, especially with fromsoft already working on other big projects like nightreign

I thought this would be a debate over the official 3D ones, but I also agree that the FromSoft stuff somehow captures some of the vibes of the Castlevania games

I was about to make a joke and go "lol bloodborne" but you beat me to it!

But also I just wanna throw my hat in the ring and say that I'm also on the "The N64 ones were good!" team. They can be a bit cumbersome and have a few tedious moments, but they're really cool!!!!!

Was a bit of a letdown to me, too. Feels like a kinda low-effort game just so they can get exclusive sales on switch 2. Did you notice the stiff animations in the trailer? Like out of a ps2 game. And that's two multiplayer focused games in a row, I feel like FromSoft are starting to allow themselves to relax due to the massive following they have nowadays lmao
