Question How would you have portrayed Hector in the Netflix adaptation of Castlevania instead?

I'd like to ask this question because I've seen plenty of criticisms and complaints in numerous Reddit posts about how Hector is portrayed in seasons 2 through 4 of the animated series.

That's why I'd like to know how the writers could have done him more justice.

And do you wish that the character Julia Laforeze, rather than Lenore, had been the object of Hector's love?

Personally, I like Lenore, but I also understand why some fans were disappointed that Hector seemed so weak against her and Carmilla in this Netflix series.

OG Hector is certainly far more powerful in 'Curse of Darkness', but in my opinion, he had virtually no real personality, since he focused soley on avenging his late wife, Rosaly, and getting revenge on OG Isaac, who looks like a possessed, flamboyant emo twink.

That makes me wonder: Why did Warren Ellis weaken him so much?

I am at 1887/1890 rooms, one of them is the final boss room. Where are the other two I’ve looked at these maps for so long I can’t find them

Games What's a good introduction to the games?

5 Upvotes

3 of the collections: Dominus, Advance and Anniversary, are on sale for $17.49, $9.99 and $7.99 respectively

I don't know how often the games go on sale, I'm going to check dekudeals soon but I want to get into these games and i'm curious if it's a good idea to skip certain games. I'm sure many many Metroid fans will say you can skip Metroid 1 n 2 and just go straight to Super Metroid and you won't be missing much.

I love Metroid Dread and Metroid Prime Remastered and I love anything that has metroidvania aspects.

I just watched the first post of the Netflix original show and I know the game fans will have their quarrels with it, but I think I can enjoy both

Discussion Trying to choose a collection to start with

3 Upvotes

I've always been kind of interested in Castlevania (I love 2D Metroid games and the Hollow Knight games), but there are so many options.

All three collections on the Switch are on sale right now, and I might pick one up, but I'm not sure which to choose. The options are: The Anniversary Collection, The Dominus Collection, and the Advance Collection, and each collection has a bunch of games.

I'm not sure if the Anniversary Collection is for me yet, because it seems to mostly include the older games, and I worry that they'd be a little dated for a newcomer. Besides, I'm guessing they're more linear, and I'm looking for more Metroidvania style games. Regardless, does anyone have any recommendations based on those options?

Hi everyone, how do you think playing Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow as Soma Cruz from beginning but... only fist, no equipment (Arms, Tactical Souls exact Ability or Souls certain important for your progress game), if you can no taking damage? Pure basic attack only, guys...! Throughout the game or just fight boss battle! (Until my fingers ache). Sorry if my English is bad or wrong flairs this post

Symphony of the Night (1997) Castelvania SOTN, luck?

0 Upvotes

Hi! I'm almost at the end of the game, and while reading online I kept seeing people mention the Luck stat. The thing is, I can't even see that stat anywhere in my menu.

I already have 2 Arcana Rings. Is there any other way to increase my Luck?

I also read about Luck Potions, but I've never found any. Do they actually exist?

I'm playing the digital PS Store version, so I'm not sure if that changes anything. For example, where the Sword Familiar was supposed to be, I found the Fairy instead. I also ended up with two Fairy familiars that only seem to differ in color. Is that normal?

Also, I already have the Crissaegrim (it's insanely strong! Is using it considered cheesy, or is it generally accepted?) Since I already have that weapon, are there actually any other items that are really worth farming for?

Question New to the series, not sure if I'm doing it right.

0 Upvotes

So, I finally caved and bought every castlevania game on steam. All three collections, both lords of shadow, and a preorder of Belmont's Curse, and decided to start with Aria of Sorrow.

So, the thing that's bugging me is how I've ended up playing. Due to the loss of progress when I die, the map not filling in, any rare souls I got since the last save being lost, I've fallen into the habit of rewinding every single time I die.

I want to play these games as intended since they're the reason some of my favourite games ever exist, and I'm not sure if I've done it wrong by starting with this one, or by using the rewind, or reloading saves. It's all very confusing to me.

I don't know how to get to where the first pic is. There's another place too at the top of the map which has a black doorway full of dark energy. I have three books which mention different spirits so I'm guessing those spirits open the dark doorway? I've also noticed after taking this pic that I've got an undiscovered area a little southwest of the centre so I'll go there right after making this post lol
