***** Okay, I'll give you that. But be honest, Arin wasn't talking about desperation, he was talking about use of items as a standard of gameplay. I used all the OTHER major items in most of these titles. Arin can say what he wants about their redundancy, but you can't whip in two directions at once; you CAN throw an item, turn around and deal with the other threat. =3
@ArinJager19 жыл бұрын
TymeTwyster Last the thing is: you can use the items, but you don't really have to, the game isn't forcing you into using them... or what he's saying, why use item, when you can just _whippikah_ - like, you know, you watched the video... The items are there (for the consistency, I guess - means they were in the previous games, so why throw them away in this one), but they are not important anymore... Sure, if you're good (throw knife one way whip the other way, as you said). So, the sumary is... the items don't even need to be in this game, but they're still there, for some reason or another... I don't know where I'm going with this, it's getting late and I'm little hazy at this point... but don't take it like I'm trying to make excuses for Arin's opinion or whatever...

If you watched the video properly you'd have learned that the video addressed MECHANICS that messed up the game... ...reusing enemies doesn't cause a game to break or take away from the re-playability like making other items worthless and leaving the player with all the tools he'll need from level 1 does. Imagine if all you need in Link To The Past was Link's sword to reach Ganon and not having to go through the trouble of getting the 3 pendents to unlock Ganon's chamber...

darkwiz666 Except that's not quite true. The game is about how they changed several base mechanics in a favorable way, but none of the other mechanics or aspects of the game changed with it. This can include the enemies. In fact, he spends a lot of time talking specifically about enemies and how their interaction with subweapons and the whip was pretty much equal. The idea that they could have changed enemies so that the whip wasn't as effective against them could have also fixed problems he addressed.
@extragirth6410 жыл бұрын
darkwiz666 That is not the same at all. The pendants weren't items you could use in the game like the items you got in Castlevania. They are more like achievements representing that you have went through a level and killed a boss. Taking the pendants out of LttP compared to Castlevania would be more like taking away three entire levels with bosses (just so you could fight a certain later boss faster? What the fu...) A more correct example would be if LttP had your sword compensate for all the jobs of those usable special items (bow, the magical rods, boomerang, inter-dimensional mirror etc.) yet still had those items in the game ... HOLY F**K THAT SOUNDS AWESOME.
@mash58710 жыл бұрын
Not just the old enemies, even the new ones fared poorly. Mostly thanks to the eight directional whipping. In fact I recently played through the game without whipping up, down or diagonal at all except where absolutely necessary to proceed in the game (which was seriously only like two spots late in the game). It REALLY felt like the stages had originally been designed to be played like that, not with the omni-whip. It even got pretty challenging near the end. Not as hard as 1 or 3, but no longer felt like Super Kirby-vania IV. I'm convinced the multi-directional whipping was added in to the game near the end of it's development.

***** This specific Sequelitis video is one of the good ones, the ones where Arin actually has good points and is... well... right. The problem is his behavior towards games he sucks at, particularly in Game Grumps. If he sucks at a game, he calls it absolute garbage. And as of very recently in the Game Grumps OOT Playthrough, He is again hating on the game. (reference: Fire and Water temple episodes.) Why? because he clearly sucks at OOT. I'm not here to say that's the ONLY reason however, but it is more than likely the governing factor behind his "opinions". I have no faith he would give Metroid Prime justice against the side scroller Metroids.

super vs fusion
@mphylo22967 жыл бұрын
That wouldn't be favorable for Metroid Prime. It's a far less fluid game than Super Metroid and it's also less intuitively designed. It's by no means a less than stellar game, but compared to Super Metroid it's rather slow and the controls are often quite awkward. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that Super Metroid is the better game. I just don't think there'd be much that Arin could say that isn't immediately obvious after playing both. Metroid vs Super Metroid however would be a far more interesting sequelitis because the two games are essentially the same concept excecuted a decade apart, with hugely different levels of quality. Both are set on the same planet, feature the same basic controls, and share many enemy types. I think this comparison is far more fair to both games and also far more interesting to analyse. It's amazing how many things Metroid botches that Super Metroid perfects. Neither game is bad but one is vastly better and for a myriad of reasons that aren't immediately obvious. Just my thoughts.

This was basically the only Castlevania game that lets you do that (aside from Harmony of Despair which came out years later). WIth the way he puts it, maybe that's why they went back to letting you just whip in 2 directions? That or it was just easy to program the player that way. But there's games like X68000 and Bloodlines that still lets you whip diagonally. Then again X68000 you can only do it while jumping (and only downwards) and Bloodlines the only directions is diagonally left or right.
@RocketJSquirrel9 жыл бұрын
Another thing he covered, which I feel is true, is the reach. Bloodlines goes back to one's character being a somewhat small blip, so the additional weapons will always make up some difference one way or the other... but they were a bit less well-implemented than prior entries. Like the game under scrutiny here, it wasn't bad at all, it merely had a few missteps in design; in Bloodlines' case, I actually think it was trying to be a little too different... like Simon's Quest, but to a far lesser degree.

Jimmy William Rondo of Blood (getting to play the real version via Castlevania Dracula Chronicles on the PSP) was perhaps a better evolution of the original Castlevania. Except for Maria. I really don't know what to think of her addition. I really love the heck out of Castlevania 4, as it was the first of them I beat legitimately without cheats or help. (And the replays do get tougher, adding more enemies and having more damage get taken off.) On the other hand I have still not beaten Castlevania 3 without save-states. (Leaving one before the Dracula battle, not between forms.) I have not played a Castlevania game yet which I utterly despised, or went "this is terrible", except for Simon's Quest . . . where my words were more "this needed to be left to cook a little longer, because it's so half-baked". I even really enjoyed Lament of Innocence.

I'm not complaining, but I also wouldn't complain if we got Zelda Sequelitis or awesome whatever.

This is my favorite Castlevania game because of its atmosphere and presentation, along with its near-perfect controls. While I'll agree that the secondary weapons probably should have been thought out a bit more (but not pointless; I like the throwing knife for long-distance attacks against the dragon-head boss and Frankenstein, the stopwatch for those annoying skeleton snakes on the walls, the holy water for stationary enemies, the axe for.... ok I never used the axe, and the cross for pretty much everything else the whip's not as good for) the control scheme was really smooth and it made plowing through the levels with well-timed attacks very rewarding. Back to the atmosphere, this game more than any other really displays the horror aspect of the series. (Brief sidenote here: I didn't grow up playing NES, so I don't have an inherent love for the 8-bit graphics, and most of the games look muddy and gross which makes it harder for me to get enthralled by them. However, the horror genre actually relies on gross aesthetics which in turn makes me more invested in them.) Utilizing the enhanced graphical power, it put a lot of attention to detail, from the rotting trees & plants in Stage 2 to the haphazard construction of the Clockwork Mansion to the way the dark hallway leading up to Dracula is lit up by the candles as you walk by them, and so on. This kind of stuff is really cool and I'd like to see more of it. Not to mention the stellar soundtrack; the Dracula fight here is my favorite of the series because of how menacing & foreboding it is, and for how the last quarter Simon's theme kicks in to show how much stronger you've become (the first stage is set up to make you feel like a badass; by the time you've got Dracula backed into a corner you actually ARE a badass). While I still like Castlevania 1 & 3 for their challenge and later stuff like Aria of Sorrow for its exploration, Super Castlevania is still the quintessential Castlevania experience.

As much as I hate to admit it, Arin is right. After playing the NES trilogy, and then playing Super, it felt just a tad more...repetitive compared to the originals. The motions of swinging your whip over and over are going to wear on you because there's no reason not to use it over the items, and stopping to whip the candles feels that much more unnecessary and boring. It overall feels slower-paced and less intense compared to the originals because of this. At the same time though, it makes up for everything with the AWESOME controls and amazing atmosphere. Every room has its own uniqueness to it, and it constantly feels like you're on an epic quest. And god, there's just so much polish. That moment after you defeat Death and the creepy intro music plays, and the torches light up as you walk literally made me go "oh shit" my first time playing. Similarly when you get Dracula to a quarter of his health and Simon's Theme starts playing it made me go "FUCK YEAH!"

It's NOT at all "Slower paced" AT ALL, it's FAST-PACED because of how much easier things are, and stopping to whip the candles is FAR from "bOrIng" at all.

Biddybalboa never meant that. i have criticized sonic , and even poked fun at it. But it's different with Arin. he's made it very clear he just doesn't like sonic, which in it of itself is fine. But Arin is famous, and when a famous person says or does something, about something. Even of his fans have zero knowledge of it, they'll hope along for the ride. so really all that came from it was people deciding "sonic was never good" just because the grumps said so

CV4 is the best cvania ever. period. with sub-weapons or not. this video says that it could have been better. yes, maybe it could have been faster imo. well, we can only close our eyes and dream of the possibilities..! ^^
@margraveofgadsden89972 жыл бұрын
I remember about 10 years ago I went into a used book store ( they sell used games, too) and bought a snes just to play cv4. The button for the sub-weapons didn’t work, and I was too lazy to switch it to another button. I had no problem beating the game, and I still enjoyed the hell out of it. On a side note: I think cv 3 is a close second. I think they were released months apart, oddly enough. I always wanted a cv that took the best elements of 2, 3, and 4. The rpg elements and towns of 2, ( I actually liked it, though there were some really frustrating aspects to it), the multiple paths and different characters of 3, and the crisp gameplay of 4. To me, that would be just perfect.

SC4 Changed everything? I could say the same thing about SotN and the other Metroidvanias. That game changed everything about Castlevania, and not in a way that worked for all fans. SotN took everything about adventuring through a terrifying castle, and relying on your, skills, limited weapons and brain, and replaced it with going over-powered conqueror of the castle with a huge arsenal of weapons. That game is a far bigger criminal if you ask me.
