I get it, it's Adventure agains RPG elements, in Metal slug you just have to shoot and kill stuff, but in Assasins Creed you have to explore and do things in order to continue the game.
I prefer the Basic Adventure, DESTROY EVERY SHIT AND KILL DRACULA.
Go Back to places i have being, is shitty, boring, i dont care, just give me more cooler enemies whit different ways to kill. I like Shank 2.
I want a remake of Castlevania 1, full in 2D whit dark and cooler animation of 2012, YES.
Egoraptor, your Sequlitis video series is extremely funny, but also stays with the informative point of the video while also keeping the viewer entertained. I really enjoy this series and I hope you'll continue it. Thank you.
@Anonymous3DSOwner Maybe that wouldn't be so bad, being in third person, rather than side scrolling all the time, it gets annoying. It would be nice to see a change...
this guy reminds me a lot like Jon Tron. i aint saying which ones better, there both really awesome. I just want more of these awesoem squelitis episodes! there awesome!!! and i hope you don't hate Symphony of the Night. cause that games awesome!
@jedirayden in simon's quest, most of the time was spent grinding hearts, you had to have been part of the game developement to know wtf the people were talking about, even then, many things people said were FALSE, and it had the esiest final boss out of any game EVER. not only that, the endings were not correctly categorized to your performance. You get the best ending for taking the longest amount of time. Yeah,sure Simon's Quest was superior. Keep telling yourself that.
Just a personal opinion, but I think Castlevania 2: Simon's Quest is a far superior game to the original. And it has been repeatedly stated by the developers at Konami that Simon's Quest served as inspiration to them in later years when they made what is generally regarded as the greatest Castlevania game of all time, Symphony of the Night. Regardless of their thoughts and opinions, Castlevania 2 was so much more entertaining than the first game. Just sayin'.
Id love to play the first castlevania but I do not own a NES, I have a SNES :/. Still I could get an emulator and try it out, although its not going to feel the same. MAKE A ZELDA/POKEMON/HALO DAMMIT
To be honest hard games are fun and annoying to me. Leveling up to me is fun because it makes me think of what to upgrade, unlike some people who just buff up one stat at a time like defense....FUCKING RETAR-unlike them I try to stay balanced. If game designers aded lvling up AND stronger enemies as you go along with difficulty, id be set. Falluot 3 and new vegas for example. Leveling up was fun but choosing stats could harm you or help. The enemies leveled up along side you making it harder.
I'm gonna have to disagree a tad with comparing Castlevania 2 to the modern Castlevania's. Sure they have some backtracking, but the progression through a new zone and the boss fights are both pretty tough. Especially in Order of Ecclesia. Anyways good job I love your videos.
@EnchantingElspeth As someone that likes both Plinkett and Egoraptor's Sequalitis, I'm not seeing the similarities other then both are intelligent, humorous, passionate reviews. They have completely different energies, pacing, and Ego's an animator.
Ultimate point being is that its hard to compare a game to another, even if the gamestyle is basicly very similar. Playing WoW feels like such a chore at times, whilst Castlevania HoD is very fun, even if the ultimate objective is the same (meaning getting better gear). Now, I know WoW's gamestyle isn't anywhere near. the MetroidCV style, but if thats what you're focused on then you missed my point completely.
Case in point, Symphony of the Night, Aria of Sorrow, and yeah Curse of Darkness are all really solid games that use that same formula but with many improvements. So now you have a functional Metroidvania style game, that's fast, with interesting power ups, cool mechanics and WAY better combat. And it started with THIS experiment. As a game its a failure but as a learning tool and a stepping stone Konami was on another level even back then. These people are TRUE game devs and should be applauded
I commend Konami for trying something new. Did COV2 suck? Yup. But if they hadn't tried it then guess what? Legacy of Kain, Metroid, Mega Man legends and alot of other games might not exist today. I don't want to live in a world where Okami doesn't exist, idk about you guys. It was an experiment and they had some solid ideas, but the execution was sloppy but thats to be expected as it was there first time. trying for an adventure/rpg hybrid.
So basically this set the stage for some (not all) game developers to shove cool sound effects and explosions and useless shit you dont need into the game to give you a false sense of achievement and make you feel like your moving forward *cough* MW3. games fuckin mindless
although you may seem to prove some points, IMO I say that I like the imagination of the creation of the game RATHER than the "OH I WANT THIS GAME TO BE SO FUCKING DIFFICULT BECAUSE THATS WHERE THE REAL FUN IS" The thing is, video games are exactly like books and movies, but you are interacting in the story. Although most games need more taste in enemy placement, figuring out with your sense and some other shit you said, I find the story to be the best, thats where the entertainment is.
3:20 to true... Yes there were good games, bad games, but back then they had to make a interesting game if it was to be sold, and it was easy making up something new and original, today...Its just a fucking graphic race, the pretty details, music and they make retarded games..I'm looking at you MindJack and Fable 3 -_-;;
@RobertAniFreak Nope, nothing has changed. Instead of ripping of Mario and Dragon's Quest they are ripping off FPS hits like Wolfenstein 3D and hack-n-slash games like Rygar (PS2) and three years later, God of War. Ripping off the best-seller of the last year has always been the trend on the field of the game development. That is a must if you want to get the dumb investors to fund it.
The only thing that has changed is that the games take years to develop instead of months.
@Bradjg1978 Hi. I'm referring to the creator of this video egoraptor (Real name: Arin). He was recently on a TV show called "The Tester". You should check it out if your a fan of egoraptor. I personally think egoraptor got shafted on the show b/c in my opinion "Sequelitis" highlights Arin's talents better than any of the stupid & irrelevant challenges in the show. I hope I have cleared things up for you.
@liquidthought410 I'm sorry but what? if you were talking to a commenter or the video idk. but what you said didn't make since. What is ""The Tester"?
@lusteraliaszero Actually, MW1 vs MW2 would be good because the first one did do a lot of things right, and actually made an effort to change the industry.
@Thegreatwario383 They were overly similar, and neither of them was a particularly good influence on the industry. While MW1 was a lot better, it was NOT innovative in the slightest.
I prefer Aria of Sorrow to any other Castlevania. And the reason is because you get 1000 moves throughout the game that all look/sound/act different. And that wouldn't really have worked in Castlevania 1's slower, more challenging structure. C1's basic gameplay model doesn't lend itself to the player screwing around with a bunch of fun moves just because he wants to.
@fireflocs CONVERSELY, AoS with it's leveling, and shops, and items you use from the pause menu, and hidden crap you can only get with some stuff that you may not have right now works WITH the premise of fucking around in one spot for half an hour because "Now I have a laser! Whoo!" and "Now I fucking *FLY*! YESSS."
And that shit's fun. And I genuinely prefer a game built around that idea.
i know you may not read this but hear me out the sidescrolling super mario bros vs. 3D platform super mario bros ( super mario 64 ,super mario galexy ,super mario sunshines runners etc...) you get my point
Okay, I've watched the first two episodes of "Sequelitis," and after hearing - and, to an extent, seeing - the real you go into such depth about the nuances of these games you're reviewing side-by-side, I realized...
I wish I was born earlier, so that I can appreciate some of the same things your generation appreciates!! XP
tl;dr: born in the 90's, wish I GREW UP in the 90's.
In any case, keep doing what you're doing, Egoraptor!
Well, Aria of Sorrow and such are somewhat different to Castlevania 2. First of, the story is way more engaging than that of Simon's Quest. Hmm, guess I can't really use this argument here since its not based on the gamestyle & controls. Anyway, Aria felt rewarding anf fun all the way though, the game is fast phased and it doesn't take long to farm (except for some of the souls... sooo many Final Guards I had to kill before I finally got the soul).
@GeneralErlend To add more, you kind of get a different feel (like you already pointed out). But yea, I felt that way, way more satisfaction by playing the metroidvanias over CV2, because they had way more interesting stuff to discover (sure, there were cryptic puzzles, but those were not any fun, well atleast no to me). You can compare CV HoD to WoW. Every Wednesday its like "ahh damn have to do some raid to get better gear...." rather than playing HoD "damn can't wait till I get Walmanway+1".
@GeneralErlend Ultimate point being is that its hard to compare a game to another, even if the gamestyle is basicly very similar. Playing WoW feels like such a chore at times, whilst Castlevania HoD is very fun, even if the ultimate objective is the same (meaning getting better gear). Now, I know WoW's gamestyle isn't anywhere near the MetroidCV style, but if thats what you're focused on then you missed my point completely.
Its like demon souls and dark souls of ps3 reanacted every feel of the original castlevania in every way Graphis aside the lag, cheap deaths, fear, and just fun...a sequel to dark souls with egoraptor...(throws up rainbows)
great video man. I'm sorry about the Tester although I have to say I'm glad you got kicked off because I don't want to see you waste your talents on a piece of shit show like that. I do have a question though. A lot of the issues you took with Simon's Quest specifically the grinding the repetitive nature and the lack of level or enemy design seem to be present in a lot of RPGs. I was wondering if there are any RPGs that you really like and are designed really well?
...So, where's season two? Dude, you're doing the world a favor. Make more! The animations are hilarious, but I think I can speak for us all when I say that the Sequelitisesisus...es... are better. It's like you said: a well-planned out desert like this is better than a snack food like the animations. Sure, it's nice to have some... ...that is to say... ...yeah, this extended metaphor sucks. Still. MAKE MORE. WE WANT MORE. YOU ARE AWESOME.
"castlevania 1 didnt have that shit. it just had goofy skeletons throwing bones. (noise skeleton makes) WHEN YOU GONNA RUN OUT AND FALL APART!?" this cracks me up everytime.
You pretty much just described Demon's/Dark Souls. Now I can really appreciate the throwback, the homage that FromSoftware paid to the old days of gaming. I've gone back to play SNES classics like Contra and shit, and those games slaughtered me endlessly. I found out that I actually sucked ass at games! The Souls series brought all of that merciless degree of difficulty back, but in a much prettier package. Thanks for waking me up to that fact.
Ego, after watching episodes 2 and 3 of this series, I thought you were just a really passionate gamer who just wanted to talk about his favorite and not so favorite games. Ya know, w/o any particular mission in mind? Like so many other humorous gamecasters? But after reading this vid's description, now I know I was right to call you the savior of gaming. You, motherfucker, need to do more than sit on the sidelines making us laugh, and go and make a difference in the industry. We need you.
@Disgaealikerasap "Okay Egoraptor, i'm sorry but you're being kicked out for 1 seeming kind of selfish despite being honest, 2 not being ABLE to do anything after you were MADE to do something and were ready but your team mates never even finished and you never got the CHANCE to do anything and 3 for working, doing what you were told to do really well and then having the confidence in your team mates to think they could actually do something themselves. turn in your badge."
@dewybmt I'm not sure what all of that means. I get the gist that there's this Survivor-esque show called The Tester for PSN(?), and Ego obv made it on there, but they dumped his ass out on the streets for being... too honest and/or smart? :S
@ScientificNoodles he was accepted on a wannabe game show called the tester to find, well, testers for playstation. they had dumb challenges hardly related to gaming. the first was sitting in a chair with a box of roaches over your head for an interview. he admitted he was on the show for the fans and barely stayed on. second time was building a car, they had to wait for some team mates to finish building it but they didn't and egoraptor didn't get to even try anything. (cont)
@dewybmt not to mention he didn't even choose to be on that team, he was chosen so he couldn't help who his team mates were, or help them at all despite trying to give them information. the third challenge was to go through an obstacle course carrying melons to a catapult then shooting at targets with it. he shot once and nailed it and went to grab more melons for his team mates and they finished but slowly. the judges got on him for "Not helping show his team mates how to shoot it".
@dewybmt which basically meant they got upset at him for thinking his team mates were competent and leaving them to actually complete the challenge when he should've acted like they were morons, like modern game devs do, HOW 'BOUT THAT SHIT?!? and apparently told them how to launch a melon out of a catapult. then he got kicked when he wasn't even really brought up in the eliminations.
that was kind of long but that's basically it. i'm sure you see how nice sony is.
@dewybmt I've already lost what little confidence I had in Sony after getting a bloated VAIO and seeing how they handled their console launch and library this generation. I couldn't care less about that clueless company.
The further I read your anecdote of this Tester show, the harder I facepalmed. My hand was halfway in my skull by the time I finished. I expected that kinda shit on primetime TV, but not on a gaming show. Just drives home even more that we need people like Ego and Yahtzee.

@fireflocs CONVERSELY, AoS with it's leveling, and shops, and items you use from the pause menu, and hidden crap you can only get with some stuff that you may not have right now works WITH the premise of fucking around in one spot for half an hour because "Now I have a laser! Whoo!" and "Now I fucking *FLY*! YESSS."
And that shit's fun. And I genuinely prefer a game built around that idea.

Okay, I've watched the first two episodes of "Sequelitis," and after hearing - and, to an extent, seeing - the real you go into such depth about the nuances of these games you're reviewing side-by-side, I realized...
I wish I was born earlier, so that I can appreciate some of the same things your generation appreciates!! XP
tl;dr: born in the 90's, wish I GREW UP in the 90's.
In any case, keep doing what you're doing, Egoraptor!

Well, Aria of Sorrow and such are somewhat different to Castlevania 2. First of, the story is way more engaging than that of Simon's Quest. Hmm, guess I can't really use this argument here since its not based on the gamestyle & controls. Anyway, Aria felt rewarding anf fun all the way though, the game is fast phased and it doesn't take long to farm (except for some of the souls... sooo many Final Guards I had to kill before I finally got the soul).

@GeneralErlend To add more, you kind of get a different feel (like you already pointed out). But yea, I felt that way, way more satisfaction by playing the metroidvanias over CV2, because they had way more interesting stuff to discover (sure, there were cryptic puzzles, but those were not any fun, well atleast no to me). You can compare CV HoD to WoW. Every Wednesday its like "ahh damn have to do some raid to get better gear...." rather than playing HoD "damn can't wait till I get Walmanway+1".
GeneralErlend 5 days ago 2
@GeneralErlend Ultimate point being is that its hard to compare a game to another, even if the gamestyle is basicly very similar. Playing WoW feels like such a chore at times, whilst Castlevania HoD is very fun, even if the ultimate objective is the same (meaning getting better gear). Now, I know WoW's gamestyle isn't anywhere near the MetroidCV style, but if thats what you're focused on then you missed my point completely.
Anyway, sry for rushed and sloppy grammar.

As others have pointed out;
Castlevania really was the Demon's- & Dark Souls of the NES.
Players wanting to further Castlevanize the latter title, will be pleased to know that there are at least two whips in the game...

great video man. I'm sorry about the Tester although I have to say I'm glad you got kicked off because I don't want to see you waste your talents on a piece of shit show like that. I do have a question though. A lot of the issues you took with Simon's Quest specifically the grinding the repetitive nature and the lack of level or enemy design seem to be present in a lot of RPGs. I was wondering if there are any RPGs that you really like and are designed really well?

...So, where's season two? Dude, you're doing the world a favor. Make more! The animations are hilarious, but I think I can speak for us all when I say that the Sequelitisesisus...es... are better. It's like you said: a well-planned out desert like this is better than a snack food like the animations. Sure, it's nice to have some... ...that is to say... ...yeah, this extended metaphor sucks. Still. MAKE MORE. WE WANT MORE. YOU ARE AWESOME.

You pretty much just described Demon's/Dark Souls. Now I can really appreciate the throwback, the homage that FromSoftware paid to the old days of gaming. I've gone back to play SNES classics like Contra and shit, and those games slaughtered me endlessly. I found out that I actually sucked ass at games! The Souls series brought all of that merciless degree of difficulty back, but in a much prettier package. Thanks for waking me up to that fact.

Ego, after watching episodes 2 and 3 of this series, I thought you were just a really passionate gamer who just wanted to talk about his favorite and not so favorite games. Ya know, w/o any particular mission in mind? Like so many other humorous gamecasters? But after reading this vid's description, now I know I was right to call you the savior of gaming. You, motherfucker, need to do more than sit on the sidelines making us laugh, and go and make a difference in the industry. We need you.

@dewybmt I'm not sure what all of that means. I get the gist that there's this Survivor-esque show called The Tester for PSN(?), and Ego obv made it on there, but they dumped his ass out on the streets for being... too honest and/or smart? :S

@ScientificNoodles he was accepted on a wannabe game show called the tester to find, well, testers for playstation. they had dumb challenges hardly related to gaming. the first was sitting in a chair with a box of roaches over your head for an interview. he admitted he was on the show for the fans and barely stayed on. second time was building a car, they had to wait for some team mates to finish building it but they didn't and egoraptor didn't get to even try anything. (cont)
dewybmt 1 week ago
@dewybmt not to mention he didn't even choose to be on that team, he was chosen so he couldn't help who his team mates were, or help them at all despite trying to give them information. the third challenge was to go through an obstacle course carrying melons to a catapult then shooting at targets with it. he shot once and nailed it and went to grab more melons for his team mates and they finished but slowly. the judges got on him for "Not helping show his team mates how to shoot it".
dewybmt 1 week ago
@dewybmt which basically meant they got upset at him for thinking his team mates were competent and leaving them to actually complete the challenge when he should've acted like they were morons, like modern game devs do, HOW 'BOUT THAT SHIT?!? and apparently told them how to launch a melon out of a catapult. then he got kicked when he wasn't even really brought up in the eliminations.
that was kind of long but that's basically it. i'm sure you see how nice sony is.
dewybmt 1 week ago
@dewybmt I've already lost what little confidence I had in Sony after getting a bloated VAIO and seeing how they handled their console launch and library this generation. I couldn't care less about that clueless company.
The further I read your anecdote of this Tester show, the harder I facepalmed. My hand was halfway in my skull by the time I finished. I expected that kinda shit on primetime TV, but not on a gaming show. Just drives home even more that we need people like Ego and Yahtzee.
