Castlevania Harmony of Despair OST - Pitiful Scion [Symphony of the Night]

[Rypleys1]

Only a pitiful can dislike this epic song.

[SolarMegaMan]

*looks at description* Earasgm?

[DoomIgnika]

It's surprising, that with all of HD's guitar (over)filled themes that this one doesn't have so much electric guitar, at the start, at least, even though the original was filled with electric guitar. Inversion, much?

back dash to victory!

3D =/= moving forward.

Don't equate 3d graphics with progress or innovation. 3D is nothing more than a medium. Plenty of decent 2D games come out, even now. Should they be thought of as dated and inferior, despite excellent gameplay?

At the end of the day, the only thing that matters in a game is gameplay and story. Graphics are just a medium by which to bring those two out.

[darkswordsmansol]

@winteravarice Blame the generation gap and how people develop as gamers. The root is the origin usually when it comes down to it.

[ninjagala]

SOTN FTW

[cmzangetsu1993]

Its a new heavy metal version of "Tragic Price"  HELL YES!!!

I still think the original is better but this is pretty awesome!!!

[NarugaDenka]

Jesus christ, can't anyone enjoy a Castlevania game because it's FREAKING CASTLEVANIA anymore?

[kaivin88]

I think the song is bron from "The Tragic Prince" from CV "Symphony of the Night"

[GentlemanAeon777]

@kaivin88

It is "Tragic Prince". It was renamed in a SotN remake on the PSP.

[TatteredTime]

I enjoyed Lords of Shadow just as much as I do the other Castlevania's. Time is moving forward, so do games, if you choose to lay in the 8-bit era of Pac-Man and Galaga that's fine but don't complain when games move onto 3D. No one complained when Zelda changed into 3D why you complaining about Lords of Shadow? EXACTLY.

[gvgkid]

@TatteredTime Not to sound obnoxious, but Castlevania has proven before that it's 3D-schism never really works. Where, you say? Castlevania 64... Don't get me wrong, Lords of Shadow isn't BAD, it just feels like... ''Meh...'' And when I played it, I felt like it was mostly just borrowing stuff from God of War and Dante's Inferno.

I guess I can sum it up by saying: LoS did better than previous 3D-Castlevanias, but in the end, the series are just MADE for 2D, where it gives birth to awesomeness.

[TatteredTime]

@gvgkid You say it borrows? Are you a true Castlevania fan? I noticed that mechanics in LoS were in the 2D Castlevania's as well, they just brought it over in a 3D format. So technically, Castlevania had it first, just never applied it to 3D.

[gvgkid]

@TatteredTime True, I haven't played EVERY SINGLE game in the series, so I guess in the end I can't call myself a TRUE Castlevania fan. But that statement of yours can deffinately be discussed, as I'm certain that there many elements in the game that NEVER had been in the 2D-games, but GoW and DI had introduced. I'm sure many of the more ''whining'' people have expressed that allready...

[Astaticembrace]

@TatteredTime Because LoS is just GoW...it really is. There's zero similarities between LoS and 2D CV games aside from them both having "attacks" lol. They could've come up with their own mechanics/style/flow/rules/any­thing really...to set it apart from GoW. But they didn't.

[alexstore1]

JUST STFU AND ENJOY THE FAWKING MUSEEEC!

[zSIlentNinjaz]

Arguments are fun :3

[HimuraCruz]

Lord of Shadow sucks, 'nuff said. If you think Otherwise. Then you must be a huge god of war rip-off enthusiast. That game isn't Castlevania. It's like if somebody made a God of War Castlevania mod.

[pablopablobonilla]

@HimuraCruz lol castlevania lament of innocence had this kind of gameplay before god of war so get your facts straight please

[HimuraCruz]

@pablopablobonilla See, but the thing is...That game sucked too. Castlevania = Platformer(RPG) Not Hack'n'slash rpg.

[AkumetsuLord]

@HimuraCruz well at least it had that Castlevania touch, u don't get that in Lord of Shit

[Ixbran]

I am so excited for this games PS3 release

X 3

ima use this song a lot!

[MsBigB777]

The best song I've every heard because of a famous Castlevania game I know and love! And that is Symphony of the Night! Also Alucard is my FAVORITE character from the Castlevania Series! Man, got to love this great, kick ass music!

[Alufear]

@evawulf

Looks like Harmony of Despair is coming to the PSN. I don't really care, but if you do, feel free to enjoy it. :)

Also to all, if I may whore myself out a bit, check out my Tragic Prince/Pitiful Scion dual mix on my channel. Not too bad. :)

[Alufear]

@dss103 You're missing the point. I never said the Metroidvanias were bad, and OoE is my favorite DS Castlevania of the three. What I'm saying is that the series hasn't made any significant changes to its formula, aside from a new gimmick or 3D title, since SotN. Harmony of Despair to me represents what's been holding the series down: the same sprites, the same exploring and backtracking, the same grind all over again all in one package. How ISN'T that stagnation?

And I'm 21 and slim, you git.

[Axle247]

Great music for bad games... Konami, why do you taunt us? D:

[WhiteCredo]

@Axle247 Well, a Castlevania is a Castlevania. My opionion is that HoD would be better on PSN than Lament of Innocence or even Curse of Darkness.

[Axle247]

@WhiteCredo If harmony of despair was released on PSN as the full game, all the DLC with no bullshit just the full game package, I would take back my comment. This game RIGHT NOW is stupid, due to A: being an xbox exclusive and B: costing so much money to fully enjoy with all the characters

[WhiteCredo]

@Axle247 Yeah.

[itsWTFtime]

@Axle247 It's coming out on PSN. Should be some time this month. And. I heard they were making some of the DLC free. :D

[evawulf]

@itsWTFtime Ahahahahaha, no. Sadly, the last time they said anything about this game coming out on PSN was middle of last year. And given PSNs recent .... episode, I'd say that hope is dwindling.

[galboil]

@evawulf

It seems that hope has suddendly revived, with some websites like Siliconera and the ESRB mentioning that this game is going multiplatform, maybe we'll hear at E3.

[BLACKDOTSx]

Is there a reason why the OST you have available for download doesn't have this track, nor a few others you have in your channel? Am I missing something, or...?

[Alufear]

@Carsouza2011 Which is exactly the reason why I refuse to play it. The series is stagnating and this is the response? Aside from the great music, there's nothing new here.

[dss103]

@Alufear Stagnating MY ASS! Order of Ecclesia is the start of what will probably be the most EPIC castlevania games to date. The stages of the old Belmont castlevanias done metroidvania style with a HUGE Dracula's castle at the end done Metroidvania style? That was the sickest thing they could have ever done in the series and the next game following that is gonna get closer to perfecting that formula. The only Stagnation I see is your fat ass tits sagging to the ground you fat, fat child!

[FafnirTheBlackDragon]

@dss103 wow, seems like you dont know what stagnation means...in that case its pointless discussing with you so check up the word first, then you will understand, why people complain about the path, konami has chosen with the castlevania-series...

[TatteredTime]

@FafnirTheBlackDragon Guessing you never played Lords of Shadow

[FafnirTheBlackDragon]

@TatteredTime lords of shadowes is just one game, that follows lament of innosence instead of sotn. but most of the games follow sotn and THAT is why people talk about stagnation, because they are always just the same! yes, maybe they exchange the weaponsystem with a soulsystem or change something else, but they are all metroidlike! why do you think nintendo started doing the metroid prime-series? because the other parts were all the same except for new areas and other graphics!

[TatteredTime]

@FafnirTheBlackDragon That's why I'm saying Lords of Shadow is a breath of fresh air. Since it's the Castlevania reboot, all the future Castlevania's are sure to have that engine, the kind of new game you are looking for.

[darkklonoa]

@TatteredTime not lord of the shadows is a throwback to the series fault at all, and the music sucks, the best castlevania 64 that Lord of shadows ...

[TatteredTime]

@darkklonoa Dude, get your grammar checked! What in the fuck did you even just say?!
