Now that I’ve wrapped up my first run of Aria of Sorrow – I can continue my way through Dawn of Sorrow to prepare for the end game. Such as: Picking up souls I haven’t collected, and maybe even using some of them to craft weapons. All that soul collecting will make me buff enough for the final fight! 😛
Sunset In The Forbidden West
Another nice evening enjoying the Forbidden West on a large screen from the comfort of my couch. 😀
Early Evening Open Thread (Tuesday Edition)
I’m just chiillin’ with some melon tea, and some melon aromatherapy to help calm the soul. That I may prepare my mind and body for another day of stupid tomorrow… or at least as ready as it can be.
Open Thread.
Dark Omnipotent King
On Saturday night I finally finished Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow! Managed to get all the endings, and all the souls. Now I just need to wrap up Circle of the Moon and I’ll be ready to play through them all of them again! I still need to check out Maxim Mode in Harmony of Dissonance and Julius Mode in Aria of Sorrow.
I’d say my Tier list for the Advance Collection would be:
- Harmony of Dissonance
- Aria of Sorrow
- Circle of the Moon
I won’t include Dracula X on the list even though it was included with the collection, mainly because it’s a SNES game that should be compared to Rondo of Blood.
This was a lot of fun to play, and a very unique experience compared to prior titles that lead up to it. After all, this and Dawn of Sorrow are the only games that take place in what would be considered the Modern Era. Whereas all the other games take place in ancient times. I had a wonderful time playing!
Black at Back Mesa
We hadn’t touched Left 4 Dead 2 in a hot minute. I found a Black Mesa campaign to play, it was fun… but not in the way most people would expect. I can’t wait to get around to the footage for it!
Saturday Night Open Thread
The weekend arrives, fatigue sets in, a brain overloaded with an unending to-do list spirals, a body is tired after a long week and wants a little fun and rest. There will be some form of Castlevania tonight.
Open Thread!
We Met Pain and Terror
I have to admit… I was not expecting to meet the Borderlands version of Penn and Teller for our game session tonight. That was actually pretty cool.
Traversing Portraits
For me, Portrait of Ruin somehow became the most neglected of the three Castlevania games in the Dominus Collection. I decided to give it some attention today; managed to beat one boss during lunch, and one more before calling it a night. I might torture myself tomorrow with Circle of the Moon… maybe I can make each day this week a Castlevania type of one, that seems to be the vibe I’m feeling.
More Soul Searching (In Aria of Sorrow)
I’m getting closer to obtaining all the souls in Aria of Sorrow! I started grinding away at it during lunch on my Steam Deck, then did more grinding tonight.
Next time I play I’ll be ready to venture into the chaotic realm to continue my adventure. Until that moment comes though, it’s time for me to get some rest under a starry, less pixelated sky.
