Castlevania Bloodlines - Sega Genesis - ULTIMATE GUIDE - ALL Stages, ALL Characters 100%

[@Locke5413]

I just have to say, if I havent already done so in any one of your other videos.... I have hard weeks. I get home from work and the only things I wanna do is find something to eat and sleep till my next shift. The weekends are the only peaceful times I have, since I have next to no social life and I have no issues with just staying home to relax and scroll KZbin all day long. Whenever I see that you've posted a video, I can feel my body and mind ACTUALLY relaxing. I feel joy in gaming that I havent felt in decades since when my old babysitter would come over and pull the Sega out of his backpack. I can feel myself getting giddy to watch probably the best thing I'll see all weekend. You are a service that no one thought they needed until they clicked on your channel and realized they needed you all along. PLEASE keep going.

[@bigduke5902]

Try reading some philosophy, there are plenty of great thinkers of centuries past who have written extensively about things you'd be shocked to learn aren't new.

You're not alone my friend. I know exactly what you mean.

I could hug you, Im sitting on a flight and have JUST enough time to download this for my in flight video....

[@StaleWawaHoagie]

This channel has replaced my sleep meds. So peaceful and relaxing.

[@SkullKnightmare775]

What an absolute masterpiece. This is still one of my favorite Castlevania games. The music and artstyle still blow my mind. One day I hope we get another castlevania game worthy of its name.....

[@Toofpaist]

The atmosphere of this game is incredible

[@JoshuaKevinPerry]

Symphony of the Night. But no, no further castlevania. Never made it mainstream

[@JDCardwell80]

The Atlantis Shrine background artwork is so breathtaking to me; then & now!

You win the internet with this one!

[@Vicerion17]

Some spoilery stuff for future games but lot's of fun lore and story came from this game that wasn't mentioned in this game like how Eric's spear is the Alucard Spear given to him by Alucard, hence the expert ending with it glowing. Then there is this games "sequel" so to say Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, starring Morris' son Jonathan where we learn using the Vampire Killer whip without being a full Belmont actually drains the life of and eventually kills the user and that Eric is also killed by another vampire and his daughters are turned into vampires. It's quite the big juxtaposition in how older Castlevania games really have little story compared to the later games, which I think we have Symphony of the Night to thank for that along with all the other tropes later games have.

[@Bortamert]

For the election I’m voting to bring back 2D Castlevania

[@Maceyoshiman]

Check out Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon! It's old-school Castlevania made by the same great people just under a new name

[@azkiboh]

I’ve seen a lot of speedruns of this game…but, as is usual, UCBVG does a fantastic job.

[@Zeiru]

Oh crap, I remember playing this game back in the day! I really loved using the guy with the Polearm because his style of play was so unique compared to contemporary Castlevanias of the time.

[@dadeleemurphy85]

[@maysintv9168]

Oh bonza. I was a SNES kid so I missed out on games like this. Time to learn all about what I missed! Thanks as usual UCBV!! Glad I'm back to being able to catch these as they come out too. 😀

[@poughkeepsieblue]

Yeah, i was a snes kid, because the genesis controller felt like holding my dads boot in my hand, and trying to mash the laces. Also why i prefered playstation to x box, the original x box controller felt like i was playing leapfrog for adults.

[@yeahyeahwowman8099]

​@@poughkeepsiebluegot to admit, I hated the buttons being in a row that close together on a Sega controller. Like after playing with the Snes controller, the Genesis one felt like a major downgrade. Probably decent for fighting games, even then I would rather play Mortal Kombat 2 on Snes.

[@poughkeepsieblue]

@@yeahyeahwowman8099 agreed, i also felt the buttons were too close, and thats why the snes style of dpad, and abxy in a "d pad" setup, is copied today by, everyone.

[@ronaldoalmeida4477]

I think it's time to admit that many of us are not going to play some of those games at all, we just love watching you play and commenting on them. xD Keep it going, bro. And greetings from Brazil!

[@poughkeepsieblue]

Agreed, i refuse to touch a genesis controller, because it feels like a swolen foot in my hand, trying to press toes with my thumbs. But i enjoy watching the gameplay, and his commentary.

Thank you so much, ucanbeatvideogames, for covering one of my favorite Sega Genesis games! I may own the enhanced Colors cartridge of this game, but you went to town with so many of my favorite games! And when i was a kid, my friends called the gear boss, "Gear Man" anytime they see me play this.

[@poughkeepsieblue]

I love gear boose.

[@GlyphCage]

That stage 3 theme is one of my favorite pieces of music in the whole genesis library. Standout track in a game full of standout tracks.

[@ProjectDevilEye]

An excellent title, one I'm glad to see you cover. Fun fact: John is the only left-handed whip wielder in the entire family to date which I thought was a really neat touch considering he wasn't born a Belmont by blood.

Finally a new episode!! Thank you man, the only channel I watch and follow faithfully

[@lancecarter5722]

I can’t get enough of these videos! I love the nostalgia and I love learning the history of these games as well! It’s probably my favorite part of these videos. I can’t wait for the next one

[@CrossTie77]

YES!!! Time for some popcorn!!!

[@skyblazer8732]

Fun fact for those not in the know: in the Japanese version of the game, Eric's weapon is called the Alucard Spear, and implies that at some point, Eric's family had dealings with Alucard himself. This name change was retconned eventually when Portrait of Ruin was released, as the Alucard Spear is one of the legendary weapons you can acquire, along with Maxim Kischine's (from Harmony of Dissonance) weapon, the Stellar Sword.

[@wizzardswing]

I throw this on every time i see an upload. It really is my favorite of weekends when UCBVG drops a new video. Thanks for the videos!

i have to admit, this channel grew on me, but i have 1 confession, if i played the game as a kid, i will watch the whole video, if the game is not somehting i have nostalgia, i really just enjoy the first part, anw, it is a great thing to watch i must say.

[@GraemeGibsonVancouver]

lol! I was just in the middle of finishing off re-watching the other castlevania videos. You are my entire bed time routine.

"It's like a Birdemic up in here!" Quick, call Alan Bagh and Whitney Moore and grab some coat hangers! It's the only way! Awesome video on Bloodlines, UCBVG! I didn't play this one much growing up, but I bought it in my college years and played through with both John and Eric and absolutely loved it!

This is one of the few Castlevania games I’ve beaten. Love this game

[@TheCrescentKnight]

Fun Fact: There is a fan theory that Eric Lecarde is the descendent of Alucard and Maria Renard. The main evidence for this is the fact that he uses the "Alucard Spear".

[@NetworkedOuija]

For anyone wondering, Elizabeth Bartley is based on Elizabeth Bathory, a famous serial killer/"vampire" in historical records. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_B%C3%A1thory

[@JoshuaKevinPerry]

no one was wondering

[@vliegpaul]

I was going to comment this. She was known as The Blood Countess.

[@vliegpaul]

Zoltan Bathory of FFDP fame is supposedly a distant relative to her as well.

[@iPlaySEGA]

Still a fantastic game! Bloody Tears FTW!

[@generaljimmies3429]

You didn't mention in this walkthrough, but one of the reasons Eric is pursuing Elizabeth is because she murdered his girlfriend. Eric is on revenge

[@AllIBlowIsLoud]

Hooray what an awesome game for you to drop a video on. I love your content. I play a lot of these games with RetroAchievements and having such an in-depth commentary helps me do 1 credit clears when I have to.

Dracula's second form is meant to be the witch who was working with Bartley - she jumps in to revialize the injured Dracula and buy time by taking you on.

It is so funny to imagine that one of Michiru Yamane's first credits was on a Game Boy Turtles game, not even a console one, and then they're like "hey let's hire her for Castlevania and subsequently cause an absolute revolution in video game OSTs, making Castlevania go down in history as one of the most iconic franchise soundtracks in gaming history. NBD"

He said EAT your wall meat. Not BEAT your wall meat. In case you thought thats what he said.

[@AzurGamer81]

I think lore wise why John Morris's life was cut short was due to the Vampire Killer was only ment to use used by the Belmont Clan and according to the whip's memory Richter was the last owner of it but due to the events of Symphony of the Night Richter pretty much cursed the Vampire Killer and John's son Jonathan had to cleanse it in order to fully use it.

[@NinjaNezumi]

Mosu is one of the words for moth in Japanese. I believe it was a katakana translation from the dutch. So it was a mistranslation back into English. Mosura is for Mothra. 1:51:00 So yes, they did name her the Princess of Moths. It just wasn't properly translated in English. It definitely was not Moss, because Moss in Japanese is Koke. Some fools online think the Katakana of Mosu is Moss in Japanese, which boggles my mind. Japanese have never translated the English word of Moss into Japanese, and there is no official Katakana for Moss.

Wish I’d had this when I was playing through this one on the Castlevania Collection :D

This is SO wild that this came out today!!! I just bought the Castlevania anniversary collection yesterday on Xbox because it has all the old school Castlevania games including this one and it's 80% off right now so it's only like $4

[@poughkeepsieblue]

Ya, its cheap, cause x box sucks. Hows that montly subscription going for x box live? Wasting your money on that too? Just asking is all.

[@AnneHathawayRules]

@@poughkeepsieblue it's only like 18 bucks and they have about 20 to 25 games that I want to play but I don't want to pay full price for. And I'm not a chronic poor so 18 bucks is nothing for me.

[@poughkeepsieblue]

@@AnneHathawayRules yeah, but playstation offers a better deal, less payments, and better access to free games. PS has aalways been the better option, and their controller doesnt feel like an overinflated tire in your hand. IMO.

[@AnneHathawayRules]

@@poughkeepsieblue when I am playing a shooting game I like the trigger to actually feel like a trigger. And if PlayStation is so much better than go ahead and play it. There's a reason they sell way more consoles. But I like Xbox. Why do you care so bad that I like Xbox? Go play your PlayStation and stop trying to humiliate me because I have fun on a different gaming system. It's classless.

[@poughkeepsieblue]

@@AnneHathawayRules i apologize, i am in no way trying to humiliate you. I was though, joshing you about x box, and being a little catty, because of the unwritten rule about them being rivals. I respect your preference. If you prefer their trigger, thats all good, i prefer the N64 trigger over playstations. Cause that felt good to me. So i could easily crap on playstation, when comparing it to the N64. Dont take me too serious its all just fun and games.

[@co81385]

Yes! I'm so glad that you are covering this game! You could argue which game is the best 16-bit Castlevania game, but this is a great game! It certainly deserves a guide! I do love the theme of this game, and that the levels represent different countries. If the development team ran out of space to add more levels, it makes you wonder what the additional levels would have been, and what countries that they would have represented! I do love the addition of a second playable character, that has a bit of a different playstyle. Personally, I enjoy playing Eric more, but I like that the game gives you the choice! It reminds me of when Zero became fully playable in the Mega Man X series.

[@FrankKnife1]

Id argue it's better than super castlevania 4. Don't get me wrong 4s still good I just like bloodlines better. It's got a way better game feel. It's more restrictive in where you can whip but it's more fair. The game itself looks intimidating but it's fair. I don't have a single bad level in this game. Only one bad enemy that I just need to get used to. The dumb palace of Versailles garden swinging scythe enemies. But that's more due to me not slowing down. This game doesn't have a time limit so take your time.

This is my favorite Castlevania game of all time, LETS GO!!!

[@zshimada]

I'm pretty sure "Princess of Moss" was a translation error, and it was indeed intended to be "Princess of Moths." It makes me sad that earlier games had such poor translation teams. There are so many games that could have been amazing if their localization wasn't laughably bad. That being said, even if I could go back and fix every single translation issue, I'd probably leave "You Spoony Bard". That one's okay in my books. Also, I think Square's kind of owned that one anyway, so...feature, not a bug :P
