Castlevania: Lament of Innocence - Longplay | PS2

[@tionik06]

Ps2 games were so good. That perfect middle ground of "not too expensive to make" that allowed pure creativity and experimentation.

[@RuSosan]

Yeah Ps2-era was golden especially since the console was also Ps1-compatible. The following Ps3/Xbox 360-era was like the last good mainstream game era. Those eras produced so many great classics and hidden gems one can still discover today it's bonkers. I greatly enjoyed Lords of Shadow-Castlevanias and Dante's Inferno so discovering Lament of Innocence and Curse of Darkness was just pure 👌😌 Hell, those earlier eras still produced the "Good enough" 7/10 games that had more heart and ideas behind them than damn near any AAAA-cashcow "games" of today. Now it's easily 90%+ the Indie devs and modding communities that even bother to make actual games anymore.

[@VeronicaValentine2236]

I got a ps2 recently and I noticed a huge difference. Todays games just don’t have it. They’re all just worried about graphics and money.

[@user-um1yl9pj1b]

Am currently playing Castlevania Lament of Innocence on my PS2 right now and I got to say I totally understand where you guys are coming from games nowadays aren't what they use to be I mean there's some hidden gems but it's almost scarce.

[@jaredelizardo201]

​@RuSosan FYI Cruse of darkness was original going too be a N64 game but the studio changed a fing mind and said O let's put it on the compation's system instead of ours

[@Love-Sensibility]

​@@VeronicaValentine2236Fellow new PS2 owner here. Its good to know how it feels playing in the 2000s

[@xCured]

I was 9 years old. This game was too difficult for me. I promised my self I'd finish this. I'm 23 and just completed it last week. Feels good.

[@neobluemage]

I miss this game. Where did you finish this? PS3?

Congrats dude! Life is about that, to fill out gaps and to complete them in the journey. Just seeing this walkthrough gives me chills and makes me nostalgic

[@MiguelRodriguez-hv9rv]

Loved this game so much, this is my favorite Castlevania game. This game released when I was 14, I played the hell out of it. When you beat the game, you unlock the music box, and can listen to the soundtrack whenever you want. I used to listen the soundtrack while cleaning my room.

[@ДарьяР-п2р]

Я сейчас играю в эту игру и ищу комментарии ,что думают об этой игре. Я ,когда слушаю музыку в забытых садах этой игры ,я чувствую себя аристократкой,которая ждёт приглашение на танец такого красивого парня ,как Бельмонта. Я по сей день удивляюсь шедевральной композиции этой игры. Она прошла проверку временем.

[@acusterx]

Really.... as someone who grew up with the NES trilogy to playing the 16 bit and Metroidvania titles to the modern GoW style Castlevania ... Lament of Innocence is so criminally underrated.

[@HollowRick]

Agreed same with curse of darkness also, both are criminally underrated.

[@AkagiRedSun]

It’s due to PS2 having such a great library of 3D platformimg games like Sly, Jak and most of all GoW. I also think every 3d vania games doesn’t get recognition due to GoW

[@georgemoncayo8313]

​@@HollowRick a supervisor at konami gave me a link to contact konami where you can make requests, I wish curse of darkness will come to modern consoles on a 3d collection.

[@Pokerface-tr1ds]

Lament of Innocence is such an underrated game. I always wanted to know the origin of evil and the origin of the Belmont Clan. I'd like a Lament of Innocence remastered with modern graphics and... a modding kit :)

[@ericadajardelosreyes6805]

Ya with the same graphics as from what they did in the remaster of Final Fantasy 7.

[@MortissCoffin]

I say the exact same thing about SOTN :)

[@pafoneto1275]

​@@MortissCoffin Lol no, SOTN Is literally the most praised Castlevania game, not even close to be underrated. This is maybe more underrated, because most people say this game is mediocre or one of the worst which is not the case.

[@NemXX2]

​​@@pafoneto1275While i don't think this game is bad at all, it us a hack and slash more and not a metroidvania. The lords of shadow games managed to capture that aspect better imo. The 2D games are still the best though. Would live to see a new Castlevania in the style of Metroid dread. Bloodstained really didn't work for me.

[@HollowRick]

​@@pafoneto1275agreed 💯

[@brettsix2027]

Years ago I was suffering a bout of insomnia. In the wee hours of the morning I gave up and turned this game on. I wound up beating The Forgotten One for the first time and went to bed around 5 am.

[@ElSoloNoco]

Lament of Innocence & curse of darkness

[@jeimx1]

Curse of Darkness is the best Castlevania for me ❤

[@rafaelbenitez1935]

I really love this game. One of my favorites of Castlevania and my second favorite Belmont.

[@earthsong2010]

Wish these kinds of games would come back. Great music, not so much shoot'em up noise, interesting characters, etc. Did I mention the music? Love it. Symphony of the Night, too. I used to play this game along with Curse of Darkness. Can't any more due to arthritis in my fingers, but I do love watching others play. With that said...you missed the bonus round on the waterfall podium ride, and you didn't fill up with all you would ever need in the hallway standing by the window. Plus, it seems more than only person is playing this game? I see many rookie mistakes, but other times, it's flawless playing...hence thinking more than one person is doing this vid walkthrough.

[@rhodesdrakethenieliii3209]

Arthritis won't stop you from watching Castlevania longplays like this one, just don't seek out evangelist/televangelist faith healing; that shit will get you killed like Butch Hartman's trying to do nowadays after his Oaxis Entertainment scandal

[@paxhumana2015]

I would say that you need to play this game, as well as get some cures for your arthritis, and post a video of yourself playing the game better than the people that had played this game, @Enola Kaya.

If it looks very good, why remaster? Resolution is not important in games.

For those who don't know and are fresh to the series, this game follows Leon Belmont, who is _canonically the first Belmont to wield the Vampire Killer and defeat Dracula._

[@mikemcgannvoiceover]

This was a lot of fun from my high school years. I took a long break when I got frustrated fighting Death, and I ended up starting the game over again to re-learn all of the combos. Turns out he's just a sucker for the axe kick and was actually pretty easy.

[@RetroRogue.]

I just recently got my N64 back with both Castlevania games. To anybody out there if you love Castlevania especially the 64 games and you haven't heard of this go play Nightmare Creatures. Absolutely one of the most underrated games ever. The sounds, atmosphere and gameplay are so good.

[@borninvincible]

Nightmare Creatures was awesome!!!!

[@EvanTomiko]

I agree with you

[@Strider-Ragnarok]

I love this game, I'll buy it again when I get a PS2. There was one part where I didn't know what to do and got stuck for days and back then the internet was not as common as today to search for answers.

[@the3rdhokage148]

I remember playing this game right after I played symphony of the night for ps1….I was hoping it was gonna be playing as alucard but instead was a Belmont.I loved symphony of the night so much and was expecting a good game not bad at all is just symphony of night was a master piece ..was a bit disappointed but over all I had fun playing it. No longer playing video games I’m 41 and is good to come back and relived what my life was and where i am today. I know one day they’ll make a game with playing as alucard don’t know when but it’ll happen peace out old school gamers.
