1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

It unlocks characters, outfits, and hard mode.

Quarter of a century? It can't have been that long since the original...oh....oh no...

Then you won't be horrified at all to learn the original Castlevania was released on NES in 1987, right?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No that's the point I'm making. When I read the headline I was horrified that it's been that long since the original and they're not even talking about that.

Time is a son of a bitch.

NES releases don't bother me because I was still a kid when I played them. Things released twenty years ago bother me because it seems like yesterday given that I was already an adult with an established career and a mortgage.

That's fine until you tell me that's almost 40 years ago!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That's what it said in the title, a quarter century ago.

a konami code stratagem would be sick though

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would not be surprised if it just nuked the player

We already have the 500kg bomb though.

Take two steps to the side and you're safe

Has anyone played it? I wonder if its any good... I always thought that N64 game was generally considered one of those awful 3d renditions of a 2d classic.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Castlevania 64 was clearly an unfinished game. The first couple levels make their ambitions clear, and the rest of the game is just sort of slapped together. Legacy of Darkness added the rest of the game.

Nobody really celebrates these games. I grew up with them and can appreciate the experience they were offering, but they weren't exactly my favorites, and I don't feel they aged particularly well. Maybe take a look through a long play video before committing any real time to it.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

Good? No, definitely not.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

The only reason it's been that long is because the Castlevania games on the N64 were trash.
