I got 2 Valmanway +1's in the 360 version, but could never get it in PS3 despite beating R the Count probably about 500 times.
Either way, join us, we'll try again ;o

You get them when you get them. Took me forever to get them. Hell I got Claims +1 before getting that one. One thing for sure is that the RNG gods loved to give me the Miser rings early.
Never did play much of this, even though I'm a big fan of the series and bought all the additional stages/characters.
Something about the feel of the controls was a little off, and I didn't really like the level design. I always wanted a multiplayer Castlevania, but this wasn't how I had envisioned it.
I might play, but I'm going to be pretty busy throughout May.
PSN is Ryuhza.

Controls start to feel natural the more you play it. I played hundreds of hours on 360 then switched to the PS3 version, and the PS3's better Dpad made things loads better. Once you learn you hop dash down to move a little quicker things get better too.
Also, do more dual crushes with other players, always found that to be one of the most fun things.

You won't believe how many kills on Ryokotsuki I have and still haven't gotten the Fuma Armor. I nearly have 9 of the other 2 set pieces. I've barely played anybody but Fuma on that stage.

There's actually a few places where dual crushes are super useful. Chapter 9's boss is one of them - Blood Cross and especially Holy Cross just utterly destroy Beelzebub. And Thor's Hammer wrecks Legion.

Oh yeah. I just absolutely love when they yell: HOLY CROSS or BLOOD CROSS!
So damn cool. 8D

Whoah, shocked to see this thread getting some activity. So the servers are shutting down?
I had almost everything in this game on the 360 version complete with all the dlc and two miser rings with max gold and Valmanway's +1.
I also had two Yasutsuna +1's for the retro stage with alucard which absolutely murdered Drac.

Whoa, why do you think that?
No, this thread's been revived due to the hype surrounding Iga's upcoming project, and for those of us that would like to get in our Castlevania fix with others on GAF.

Err....It's been a while. But yes haha. Anyone can add me on PSN: Helphinx but be warned, I have no mic haha. I know...
Does anyone have on 360 and maybe want to play later this week/this weekend? I just bought all the DLC (which i have never played or seen before) and I literally have not played since launch whenever this came out (2009?) Gonna play some single player to get caught up and maybe some multiplayer this weekend?
PM me your XBox live if you wanna invite me. I think my xbl tag is my gaf name?

Yep, groups of 4+ are the best. Those Sonic boots are the worst, other than Valmanway +1s.
Looking really forward to play with you guys. Voice chat is preferred but not necessary.

Honestly, single player is not the best way to get "caught up" xD If you want to play tonight, let me know. I'm "Lee Chaolan T6"
You on now?
spyhunterzero
Member
Yeah. We can do game chat if you want. I usually do Skype chat with my buds when we play since it is clearer
Lee Chaolan
Member
No worries, Mic's not necessary. You able to go tonight?
yeah Skype's not really an option for me at the moment. If more than us can voice chat then I'll go dig out the mic.
Unrelated note, it's been forever since I've played. lol
We going in fresh or just picking up where we left off? For tomorrow I'm thinking fresh is best.

I can. It's my birthday so I am staying up late lol. I do have a rickety PC mic somewhere for Skype but man it's in shambles haha

Doesn't the game work on invites or...? Feel free to invite me, for non-sober Shanoa/Yoko action. Quite effective anyway though...I guess. Cept for dem Chap 10 dodges...Just need to remember is all...

Eternal shame for my near fuck up on Chap 9. Jesus. Sorry.
WTF dat last Chap 9 glitched hard on me. Everything is a rainbow and I can't see shit. No mic suck but yeah...it's a rainbow. Everything is blue letters. Like the whole side of the map is colorful lettering haha. WTF
Yep still happening on retry. Half the map is unseeable.
Damn it's not fixed. The entire level is blue shit. Sorry for quitting, but everything was like rainbow alphabet. There was no level design. Just colorful letters everywhere.

Yeah I had that problem too. The only way I know to fix it is to close the game and restart it

Yep, it's happened to me several times as well.
Anyways, nice playing with you guys! We'll try again for your Sonic Boots soon.

Now here's a welcome revival. I spent an absolutely crazy amount of time with this game (PS3 version) and would definitely be up for some more, though I'll probably be a bit rusty.
I'm UK so that + my job might make it hard to co-ordinate with the rest of you. Also have no mic unfortunately. PSN's in my profile.

At one point I really wanted to do a run with everyone using completely fresh characters, but starting on Hard, working through stages 1-11 in order and ONLY using drops from that run. Like a kind of challenge mode. Would definitely be up for that if enough people were.

Noooo, get a 3 month gold card and play with me instead. I need more people to play with on 360!! It will come you cheaper than the game + DLC on PS3.
Crazy amount of time, huh? Let's see here...
Soma: 119h 30m
Alucard: 131h 17m
Jonathan: 57h 1m
Julius: 37h 20m
Richter: 14h 11m
Shanoa: 66h 4m
Charlotte: 64h 25m
Yoko: 33h 7m
Maria: 25h 11m
Simon: 44h 17m
Getsu Fuma: 39h 6m
For a total of: 631h 29m, not counting times spent in menus
And I don't even have all the equipment I want (still missing plenty of stuff from Chapters 10 and 11) or leveled every subweapon to max on the whip users (the Retro subs all do not have lvl9).

My 2nd most played game ever. I'm pretty sure I have all the equipment I wanted, but a lot of my characters aren't levelled fully. I tended to stick with subweapons I liked rather than switching around a lot, which = levelling imbalance.

Anybody up for 360 games?
Christ, you beat me? I don't know many people who were able to outlast me in this game.

I think I'm like past or maybe even double if I combine both 360 and PS3 times

I miss this game. How's the playerbase on the PS3 version these days? Did the Golden Week sale boost activity any?

Oh hey an excuse to rise from my posting grave people to play with :3
I'm good to play on the PS3 pretty much whenever. I've been getting back into the game, I guess good timing on that regard with Igarashi's kickstarter and the threadonce again given flesh by being called here by humans being kinda active

I can play tonight, but not until the end of the Cavs playoff game, so should be around 10PM EST.

I might be down for that. I'm super rusty though. Should probably brush up.

I can swing 10 EST for sure. I'm good for the rest of the evening even so I'll be ready.

Awesome fellas! Rusty is no worries. You guys wanna just play our current characters or start a fresh new file? Might have to create a new PSN name for that, as there's no way in hell I'm deleting my save data and it's hundreds upon hundreds of hours. lol

I'd rather roll with my existing characters.

Couldn't you just delete your file and have a back up of the old one on PS cloud

I suppose that's an option but that's treading deadly waters, I'd rather not risk it ;p
hokay.
360, right? if you're on a while tonight I can do that too.

Given how bad my luck with drops usually is I would rather keep what good things I actually have lol

I'm in such a weird position because I have a bunch of endgame-level characters and I hardly remember how to play the game at all. :lol I've forgotten all the speedrun paths and strats and basically everything.

Not sure how that's even possible. You would think that since you got everyone powered up you'd remember it all.

Timezones and all. I'll be going to bed soon, so definitely not on a while tonight.
It'll all come back to you if you played the game as much as you seem to have.
