    I'm very sorry for the low energy on this batch of videos. I had just spent 4 days in Seattle for PAX, got off a plane at 5pm and immediately had to record audio and edit today's videos. Thanks for putting up with it. - Azario

    GOTY considering it's only $25 and Konami actually made a new Castlevania game for it. I have been wanting this collection for years, so glad these games are available again. I beat OoE last night, PoR is next. We nearly have all of the Castlevania games now on modern hardware, so cool.

    I only played Order of Ecclesia and Symphony of the Night. I liked Order more as Symphony was directionless. The game never told me I could beat it hours ago. For days I was wondering where I was supposed to go next until I randomly decided to fly up a cliff and came across Dracula. Even though I liked Ecclesia more the game's item drop rate is so bad. I just wanted to upgrade a couple abilities but the drop rates were so small it was frustrating. Super grinding is not fun. Nier Automata had this problem too.

    I would've wanted a screen filter for the DS titles. The raw pixels look horrible blown up to a modern screen. The Filters used for Haunted Castle looks great and should've been an option to soften this raw look. Ah well.

    • @NoisyPixelNews
      @NoisyPixelNews  12 днів тому +8

      I agree. I played marvel vs Capcom 2 recently without the filter and, well, I never thought Morrigan could look unattractive until I played it without scanlines 😂 - Azario

    • @MadLustEnvy
      @MadLustEnvy 12 днів тому

      @@NoisyPixelNews Though it didn't work as well in this game due to the smaller side views of the character stat and map screens, you should look into Shaderglass. It's an overlay that even has some CRT presets, and you can change the size of what's on screen, so you can fine tune scanlines, etc.
      Some of the presets are very good. I use it on retro 2D games to get rid of the raw pixel look, which games NEVER looked like back in the pre-flat screen days.
      I'm upset that they didn't let us use the filter that was in the old collection that was an option for Dracula X.

    Still no filter choices and games that are, therefore, more pixelated than the originals.
    At least you have 3-4 choices of screen sizes, contrarily to the advance collection where you had none.
    I have no idea why M2 is always praised for its ports. They never do a great job.
