Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great games such as the Castlevania series. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
If one pay close attention in this music, will find that the phrases changes to "evil and good". It tells the player that "He didnt see nothing yet, more evil awaits you" and then it tells "Dont worry, everything is gonna be okay". This aparently "simple notes" song, by Yamane ,easy to play on piano, have a complex meaning that pull me in deeply madness.
I can't believe that I overlooked how good this music was when I was actually playing Curse of Darkness. That just how mediocre the gameplay was, I couldn't notice that it still had that trademark great music that Casltevania has always had
@LaMereACaniche Oh alright, to each their own I suppose. I actually like the the N64 catlevanias, and a lot of people would probably think I'm crazy for that. Curse of Darkness had some good things going for it(Innocent Devils, story based on Castlevania 3) But I didn't like all the fact there is no castle until liket the last hour of the game and the dull graphics also disappointed me because along with music Caslevania also used to be famous for producing some of the best graphics for its time
@85ihateposeurs well A LOT of people hate N64 castlevania games BUt I liked them, I don't know why they hated them that much. The innocent devil system is what kept me from getting bored from time to time. The music in castlevanias are usually good and this one isn't an exception!
@TrevorCBelmont the final rapier was a mean son-of-a-bitch too, hey, watch me pull 20 magic missles outa nowhere while my raven type burns you all to ashes.
@TrevorCBelmont i thought you were abbreviating call of duty at first and them like oh ya curse of darkness. PHew i was about to say how does call of duty get a song a number 3 on a best vgm list.
Dude, this is the first time I've listened to this song... and I have to say it doesn't get the attention it deserves =/ Seriously, this theme is amazing, and yet all the creators do is remix already known songs... which I'm not saying are bad, just that they need more creativity.
believe all us fans out there, your missing out BIG TIME.....however i personally didnt like CoD, but anyways just mpick up a game and play, i gurantee you will be hooked
HANG ON!!!! Is this song played outta my headphone or what... oh, its just the music is surrounding my head. Surrounding music!! This tune is damn f***ing nice
reminds me somehow of make me bad by korn starts off. never played this game is it good? it looks good. (found vid by looking up chrono trigger music and found the countdown)
are you referring to my typo(looking)?of course as a native speaker you´re used to different standards,but believe me,in my country i´m far beyond the average.not tryna be a smartass,but i´m going to study linguistic,so that´s why i´m maybe overreacting a bit;)
Why are people comparing Final Fantasy 7 and a Castelvania game? They're both completely different. That's like comparing Fried Chicken to Jelly. It just doesn't happen.
@Kelvinian hey now I find some films that are meant to be horror but I end up almost dieing of laghter at the end. sometimes it's because of how stupid the movie was.
Very good song. After listening to it for a few times, I'm adding it to my personal playlist. This makes the SECOND video game song from a game I've NEVER played before added to my playlist.
SotN was good, because of its sound track and because it was radically different from all (at the time) other games in the series. I grew up with Super Castlevania IV, so it will always be my favourite. It had the best version of Vampire Killer I've heard, and excellent versions of The Beginning and Bloody Tears. My favourite original songs were Simon's Theme, the treasure room music, and Room of close Associates.
I still say FF7's fame grew more out of some people saying it was good than a lot of people playing it. It's like a lot of people just assume its good. anyway this tune is really nice.
Which is a shame, because it really wasn't all that great. SotN, which came out the same year, is infinitely more deserving of the praise all the idiot fanboys heap on FF7.
Very nice song. Cool combination of classical symphonic music and modern electro... or whatever is it called. It is good that Castlevania music keeps up with the times....
i haven't played much castlevania games, but it's veeerry surprising to hear that SoTN ain't the best! That game was amazing! Is there a better castlevania sidescroller than SoTN?
I do have a few favorites from this game...Heck, I like the game overall, hate me if you want. While lacking in complex and challenging stage design, it has ambiance. Plus, the music, character design, and storyline all rock, in my humble opinion. Garibaldi Courtyard definitely is a great track - ranks right up there with the best of the Castlevania series, if you ask me.
Why would expect anyone to hate you for saying that? If I had a choice, I would own this game over NitM/SotN.
I love NitM/SotN, but it has problems (Such as the lack of a boss rush mode along with a single difficulty level that is so, so far from being a true "break a sweat" experience).
You're totally crazy. I'm one of the biggest fans of Castlevania, but I have to admit this game is bad.
Level designs lack inspiration. You always feel like you're inside 4 walls, even if you're in the forest. And that's because the trees and all objects in the world are not designed with polygons. Everything is just a wall with a texture making it look like there's a vase, a candle, or a window. But all there is is a wall with a texture, so you can't interact with the objects you see.
I got nega-rated up the ass for saying that CoD was better than NitM/SotN? I played both games religiously and I came to learn that CoD was just a better, longer and harder game. SotN was too easy. And graphics have no impact on this matter either.
"everyone and everything knows that Symphony of the night is the best Castlevania game ever"? LMFAO! What a shallow remark.... I'm not even gonna dignify that with a response.
The important things are: Gameplay, story and music.
The gameplay of CoD sucks! You can't interact with anything and you can't even fall off a platform because there are "invisible walls" everywhere. The story is so empty I can't even remember it. The music is excellent, but that's the only good thing in the game.
So go then and play Gears of War if you enjoy good graphics and leave Castlevania for good gamers.
When you talk about something, only to later realize you were wrong, the correct thing to do is to face your past words and accept you commited an error.
And here, I am the one who was wrong. CoD is one of the best games, and it doesn't deserve my previous comments.
I know I may sound stupid, but I replayed it a few weeks ago, and the experience was indescribable. The scenarios, the music, the Innocent Devils, the weapon crafting... everything was amazing.
Yes, there's a bit of exploration restriction and a couple of musics that I personally don't like, as well as a mediocre last level. But those are minor flaws. The game has SO MANY good things that you just forget about them.
I just can't understand why I didn't appreciate it right from the start.
I feel the obligation to apologize to JonathanFerGold, and I have to agree with him: Castlevania Curse of Darkness is the Ultimate Castlevania Experience.
No need for apology: It was your opinion. I am just known to challenge people's opinions, when I realize they don't understand what's really presented. It was never personal.
Yeah I agree: While Curse of Darkness may have minor restrictions on exploration, the visual environments themselves are too beautiful not to be desired. But then again, this isn't Grand Theft Auto or Shadows of the Colossus. Honestly, I never had the intention of playing a Castlevania game for the sake of exploration.
Then, I'm just confused as to why your previous comments were negative about the game?
Can you clarify as to why you originally thought this game sucked? I was always under the impression that the whole "Curse of Darkness" experience was impossible to misunderstand, considering the awesome shit you do in the game.
I don't know the reason. I myself can't understand why I didn't enjoy the game the first time.
The evolution of the ID's, the item stealing for crafting rare weapons, the secret rooms, the chairs, the beautiful scenarios, the wonderful music... how come I only appreciate the music the first time? ... I don't have an answer for that...
All I can say now is that I'm sorry for the way I treated you, and that you were right this whole time. I can be a pain sometimes...
Well I have to admit: When I first played this game, I absolutely hated the first 20 minutes (The Abandoned Castle, basically). However once I arrived at Baljhet Mountains and started fighting monster left and right, weapon crafting and leveling up.... I was like "This game is incredible!". I had realized the experience was deep and refreshing from typical 2-D Castlevania games. And that was me when the game first came out in 2005.
"The evolution of the ID's, the item stealing for crafting rare weapons, the secret rooms, the chairs, the beautiful scenarios, the wonderful music..."
That comment pretty much sums up when I love this Castlevania. And because the majority of the Castlevania fans put this game down despite those reasons, I know that this game is terribly underrated.
Many Castlevania fans don't like this game because they can't accept the transition from 2D to 3D, even though CoD is exactly what a Castlevania game should look like in 3D.
In addition, the vast majority of gamers don't stop to take a look at details on the scenarios or keep playing the game after beating it looking for secret areas. Many don't even listen to the music!
I don't think fans will ever accept a 3D Castlevania, but I can't wait for a next-gen Castlevania to come out.
I can't wait either. Honestly, I love all the Castlevania games. It's just that Curse of Darkness is so unique from them all. Like I was saying before, it is a refleshing experience from all the other Castlevanias.
I don't know.... Unlike most people, I found very little things wrong with the game. Well as minor as it is, I can say that Leon Belmont's walking/running animations has Hector's walking/running animations beat by a thousand paces.
Well, they are probably the ones that saw the terrible N64 version of Castlevania. It is hard to see something in 3d, because you expect more to come from it. They want the successor of Castlevania SotN, and I personally love SotN more than CoD, but I love the atmosphere of the game and how rich it was. I even love the voice acting, and that wasn't really good, but it was the nostalga of playing that game that I truly love. That is why I resent the remake that comes with Dracula X for PSP.
Investigation time!

I love NitM/SotN, but it has problems (Such as the lack of a boss rush mode along with a single difficulty level that is so, so far from being a true "break a sweat" experience).

You're totally crazy. I'm one of the biggest fans of Castlevania, but I have to admit this game is bad.
Level designs lack inspiration. You always feel like you're inside 4 walls, even if you're in the forest. And that's because the trees and all objects in the world are not designed with polygons. Everything is just a wall with a texture making it look like there's a vase, a candle, or a window. But all there is is a wall with a texture, so you can't interact with the objects you see.

Nice music =D
Would it be blasphemous to say that I have yet to play a single Castlevania game? D;

Are you fucking kidding me? This game was better than Nocturne/Symphony.

I got nega-rated up the ass for saying that CoD was better than NitM/SotN? I played both games religiously and I came to learn that CoD was just a better, longer and harder game. SotN was too easy. And graphics have no impact on this matter either.
"everyone and everything knows that Symphony of the night is the best Castlevania game ever"? LMFAO! What a shallow remark.... I'm not even gonna dignify that with a response.

Who cares about graphics or difficulty?
The important things are: Gameplay, story and music.
The gameplay of CoD sucks! You can't interact with anything and you can't even fall off a platform because there are "invisible walls" everywhere. The story is so empty I can't even remember it. The music is excellent, but that's the only good thing in the game.
So go then and play Gears of War if you enjoy good graphics and leave Castlevania for good gamers.

DiegoVizia, nobody here is saying that graphics make a game better.
All I was saying was that NitM/SotN was way too easy. It should have been harder, like Minuet of Dawn/AoS and Crucifix of the Blue Moon/DoS.

Yeah, I think this Curse of Darkness game was great. I hate it when people block their minds and say that any 3d castlevania simpy sucks/will suck.

Thank you xtrife57!
God, someone finally agrees with me in regards to such an great Castlevania game. I can't understand why it's so fucking underrated?
JonathanFerGold 3 years ago
When you talk about something, only to later realize you were wrong, the correct thing to do is to face your past words and accept you commited an error.
And here, I am the one who was wrong. CoD is one of the best games, and it doesn't deserve my previous comments.
I know I may sound stupid, but I replayed it a few weeks ago, and the experience was indescribable. The scenarios, the music, the Innocent Devils, the weapon crafting... everything was amazing.

Yes, there's a bit of exploration restriction and a couple of musics that I personally don't like, as well as a mediocre last level. But those are minor flaws. The game has SO MANY good things that you just forget about them.
I just can't understand why I didn't appreciate it right from the start.
I feel the obligation to apologize to JonathanFerGold, and I have to agree with him: Castlevania Curse of Darkness is the Ultimate Castlevania Experience.
DiegoVizia 3 years ago
No need for apology: It was your opinion. I am just known to challenge people's opinions, when I realize they don't understand what's really presented. It was never personal.
Yeah I agree: While Curse of Darkness may have minor restrictions on exploration, the visual environments themselves are too beautiful not to be desired. But then again, this isn't Grand Theft Auto or Shadows of the Colossus. Honestly, I never had the intention of playing a Castlevania game for the sake of exploration.

Say what?
I'm confused... Are you serious?
Then, I'm just confused as to why your previous comments were negative about the game?
Can you clarify as to why you originally thought this game sucked? I was always under the impression that the whole "Curse of Darkness" experience was impossible to misunderstand, considering the awesome shit you do in the game.
JonathanFerGold 3 years ago
I don't know the reason. I myself can't understand why I didn't enjoy the game the first time.
The evolution of the ID's, the item stealing for crafting rare weapons, the secret rooms, the chairs, the beautiful scenarios, the wonderful music... how come I only appreciate the music the first time? ... I don't have an answer for that...
All I can say now is that I'm sorry for the way I treated you, and that you were right this whole time. I can be a pain sometimes...
DiegoVizia 3 years ago
Ha ha ha, that's crazy dude.
Well I have to admit: When I first played this game, I absolutely hated the first 20 minutes (The Abandoned Castle, basically). However once I arrived at Baljhet Mountains and started fighting monster left and right, weapon crafting and leveling up.... I was like "This game is incredible!". I had realized the experience was deep and refreshing from typical 2-D Castlevania games. And that was me when the game first came out in 2005.

"The evolution of the ID's, the item stealing for crafting rare weapons, the secret rooms, the chairs, the beautiful scenarios, the wonderful music..."
That comment pretty much sums up when I love this Castlevania. And because the majority of the Castlevania fans put this game down despite those reasons, I know that this game is terribly underrated.
JonathanFerGold 3 years ago
Indeed.
Many Castlevania fans don't like this game because they can't accept the transition from 2D to 3D, even though CoD is exactly what a Castlevania game should look like in 3D.
In addition, the vast majority of gamers don't stop to take a look at details on the scenarios or keep playing the game after beating it looking for secret areas. Many don't even listen to the music!
I don't think fans will ever accept a 3D Castlevania, but I can't wait for a next-gen Castlevania to come out.
DiegoVizia 3 years ago
No doubt, no doubt....
I can't wait either. Honestly, I love all the Castlevania games. It's just that Curse of Darkness is so unique from them all. Like I was saying before, it is a refleshing experience from all the other Castlevanias.
I don't know.... Unlike most people, I found very little things wrong with the game. Well as minor as it is, I can say that Leon Belmont's walking/running animations has Hector's walking/running animations beat by a thousand paces.

Well, they are probably the ones that saw the terrible N64 version of Castlevania. It is hard to see something in 3d, because you expect more to come from it. They want the successor of Castlevania SotN, and I personally love SotN more than CoD, but I love the atmosphere of the game and how rich it was. I even love the voice acting, and that wasn't really good, but it was the nostalga of playing that game that I truly love. That is why I resent the remake that comes with Dracula X for PSP.
