Castlevania (🎮N64) - ✨HD Longplay | True Ending | No Commentary

[@Longplay.Library]

Hey folks, I felt it important to share my appreciation for you all. At 33,000 views, this video has received significantly more views and comments than the vast majority of my other longplays - many never even seeing -100- views. 100. So, I can assure you that it fills me with joy to see everyone recalling their fond memories of this game and share discussion, even 2 years later. Thank you all for your participation, and sharing in a dose of nostalgia with me.

[@Longplay.Library]

FYI - when I hired this game as a kid, I never made it past the first boss either. This was a revenge mission.

[@lizc1417]

This was so much fun to watch. My then boyfriend, now husband, and I used to play this together a seriously long time ago. I did the exploring and tossed him the controller for the boss and obby scenes. We never made it past the duel tower and now I can see why. We watched this together and we finally got to see the end. Tysm!

[@luxuryidentities3092]

This game put a primal fear into me as a child but I couldn’t stay away from it.

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

Honestly? Same. People can shit on this game all they like, but it's basically the only Castlevania game ever made that actually managed to be scary.

[@letshuman8985]

@@ScrambledAndBenedictsame lol! Looking back at it, I’m like “I was scared of a bunch of distorted polygons?” That’s what gives it its charm! ❤ I was kind of disappointed when I played some other Castlevania games and they weren’t as scary. Now that I think of it, they all have their charm, but I kind of based other Castlevanias on my experiences with the n64 one.

[@Shmegaladonking]

From the page turning noises, music, esthetic, I was about 5-8 playing this and so much about it had that ambiance of fear nothing at that time could do to me

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

@@letshuman8985 I honestly think this one and Portrait of Ruin are the best overall.

[@callummacleod1033]

Same for me, loved it as a kid but found myself every so often getting really scared. Haha was stoked when I completed it! As a kid I felt brave 😂

[@robbie1141]

im only 15, but my dad used to have a nintendo 64 and i would get to play this on it. i remember all the sound effects and the way i played it all day. I miss being really small.

[@598bryce]

That book closing at the start of the game used to freak the fuck out of me.

“His blood dooms him to oppose the might of Count Dracula.” What an ominous line.

[@bonster101]

that gate sound effect has stuck with my for 25 years.

[@chemistryguy]

I know I didn't defeat this game when I played it. I was shocked by how far I actually made it. The skeletons on motorbikes and magical nitro were buried deep, but still there. I think the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch would've been a more efficient method of destruction, but that's me. Kudos for the knee squats and spinning Belmonts sprinkled within your fantastic gameplay.

[@Longplay.Library]

Seems you made it further than I ever did in my youth - commendable effort! Time to re-visit the game and show it what for? Thank you for the kind words! Unnecessary squats, rolls and jumps are important for any gameplay lol, glad you enjoyed the little things!

[@YoeLuis87]

This game is not so hard to play it and finish it; if i did it i think you can do it too since i never have the experience to finish all Video Games levels and i already lost the count how many times i beat all CV64 bosses including Count Dracula(Malus).

[@harrypothead]

i remember this as if it was yesterday...the garden maze was the creepiest level in my opinion

[@WispyBlueBricksGPX]

This game is gold, People just don't understand that the story and gameplay are most of the time better than the graphics

[@fawkkyutuu8851]

There's nothing wrong with the graphics imo , I love the "uncanny valley" early 3D era look from 5th and 6th gen more than any other period , upscaled texture / MODs out there make this syle look even better. There's a raw magic about the game design then because there was no formula , accepted rules , or successful blueprints to follow , It was a purely organic and experimental 3D golden age. The limitations only help give this game a completely different level of atmosphere.

[@wallacesousuke1433]

And? Gameplay is trash, controls are awful, camera sucks, characters are forgettable and uninteresting, there's almost nothing redeemable about this game

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

Nah, this game sucked and I even knew that at 11 years old in 1999

[@britneylatimer62]

The squeaky sound of the gate opening in this game still haunts me hahaha.

[@TheOneandOnlyCornBread]

This game had absolutely no business being as scary as it is

[@horror_fam0847]

One of the best games I played along with Goldeneye great memories

[@six-sixty-six4851]

This is such a pure gameplay and one of the best hands down adventure game with a twist. Love watching the gameplay.

[@Lieutenant_Dude]

I ended up getting the Legacy of Darkness version. For all of it's flaws, I still really enjoyed this game. Although having to figure out that you have to blow up the astronomy room's wall in the Castle Center with both nitro and mandragora before being able to blow up the big wall in the boss room was so cryptic is was nearly opaque.

[@clr905]

I RAGED when that goddamn seal denied me a boss fight.

[@shannonsteam8744]

Legacy of Darkness is the prequel to this, I believe.

[@rhodesdrakethenieliii3209]

@@shannonsteam8744 Ah yes, the one where you play as Chris Cornell who can turn into a werewolf but sacrifices the lycanthropy in the end to save his sister Ada; I loved the Art Tower music (The Sinking Old Sanctuary from Bloodlines)

[@ScrambledAndBenedict]

1:32:03 "Well, I carried it over this cracked wall, and guess what? I just realized I have no clue how to put this thing down. There's no drop, or throw away option, nothing. There's nothing I can do. The game's over. What a fatal flaw! It's not like I could just push the A button in front of the cracked wall, the way I've interacted with every single interactable object in the game up until this point, INCLUDING when I picked the item up! Why can't I use it from the item menu, in a game where I've never once used any key item from the item menu ever?! I don't know what I'm supposed to do!" - The Angry Video Game Nerd, on why he couldn't beat this game, roughly paraphrased, November 5 2009, colorized.

[@micahfries7878]

I might as well just admit it: I never saw it coming when she poured blood instead of water on the "white roses." Even back then, Konami knew how to shock their gamers.

[@pianosonata5029]

I loved how spooky this castlevania was. I was a child and never finished it because I was scared every time I got into the maze. Those dogs...and the chainsaw sound lol. Good game.

okay can we all just admit that for being "a kidnapped child" Malus sure knows his way around the garden.

Now this is Castlevania ahead of its time, even surpasses Lords of Shadow and the handheld metroidvania which I'm not too.. to me this is the direction the franchise should have took a chance on,.. instead of going the toru hagihara & koji igarashi, kojima productions,

[@bedkilled8458]

To me castlevanium legacy of darkness and Castlevania 64 forever via and always will be remembered in my heart as two of the greatest Japan Konami Castlevania games they will forever sit on a pedestal in my heart and in my collection. step aside Lords of Shadow?. you can look up, as they look down on you.

My experience with this game was that when i first got it i never really played it as i did not have that much time but about 6 months later i started really getting in to it and about half way through the game it froze and the game never worked again so i had to buy a new one and got the Legacy of darkness one, it was the same game and ended up loving it, after a couple of years i got the original one again and loved it as well, maybe if you compare to symphony of the night yeah it falls short but what other Castlevania game doesn't? conclusion i really enjoyed it and still do.

[@diegofonseca6708]

That werewolf in the beginning was stronger, tougher, more agile and more dangerous than the lesser vampires! They should have given him a badass entrance instead of just letting him surprise you so casually. They should have made him a recurring enemy too! He was also rather small for a werewolf they should have made him a big bigger.

I played the LoD version. As far as I know the Reinhardt and Carrie scenarios are the same. I think I beat the game with Cornell and Carrie but never did with Reinhardt.
