  • Alucard, Son of Dracula is back in Transylvania, but this time we are cutting him off from his animal forms, as he is a recovering Furry
    This means, we are not allowed to use the Bat or the wolf form.
    Lacking the primary mode of aerial transport, we may end up in some sticky situations.

    Malachi and Cthulu's names were switched likely in an attempt to avoid a lawsuit from whoever holds the Rights to Lovecraft's stories.

      Very likely. At the time the works of HP lovecraft were not yet in public domain

      @@sirrando It's funny as 'Cthulhu' wasn't actually the name of the enemy in Japanese either! The one labelled as 'Malachi' in English (aka obviously Cthulhu) was 'Evil', while the one who GOT the Cthulhu name was 'Devil'.
      So yes, the switch was completely unnecessary.

    beat Ninja Gaiden sigma with an non-upgraded wooden sword on Master Ninja difficulty
    EDIT: forgot to say great editing, it is very good

    I love your videos mate. They're really top quality, and you're funny and interesting, it's great.
    It would be cool if you went through some of the other metroid-like castlevania games too, the gameboy advance ones, cos they're pretty great too. Perhaps not quite as good as SOTM. But they're top quality metroidvanias, a genre that's absolutely drenched in games and so it's particularly hard to stand out of the hundreds that exist, but the GBA castlevania games still do to this day
    The DS one is great too.
    I'm mainly thinking of you though. Like, if you haven't yet played them, then you'd be in for a treat, if you're a big SOTN fan. They've got the same kind of addictive gameplay loop and cool big arse bosses that are fun to fight. So you making videos of them would mean you get to play some great games.

    I knew this run would be pretty easy. After playing SotN, more recently for the first time since it's release, I was really kind of underwhelmed by how easy the game is overall. If you have anywhere near the best equipment available to you, you can melt most enemies.
    Now no equipment run would be a cool run to see for that very reason.

    • @sirrando
      @sirrando  10 місяців тому

      That's true, it was pretty easy, but I did learn some interesting things about the game,
      Equipment less would be doable, a couple of areas would be a right pain lol
