I mean, Dracula's castle exists outside time and space, so wall chickens were probably about as fresh as the day they were cooked. A wall chicken in the early 10th century probably has dirt and mold in it.

[@raccooncityhunk497]

...Except it doesn't always cut out, such as when the skeleton is hitting you with an axe. There's no way the character survived 5+ strikes to the neck/head.

[@Mordecrox]

​@@raccooncityhunk497 I think it means instant death instead of just agonizing while helpless, like how burning alive still gives you a very hot minute, but more destructive deaths are lights out immediately. If you watch the original game with such cues (Forbidden Forest series), most deaths are of the "being horribly mauled and eaten" type, but some like being melted head first by hot acid are just a single note

I like how the music, in theory, plays for however long he suffers for. Like for the projectile spear one his entire system would go into some kind of shock from being slammed into the wall like that. Just goes to show which deaths truly are the most painful, and which ones are just plain gruesome.

damn that makes the ones that fade out, instead of just ending, worse because it implies you suffer longer than showed.

[@someoneusedtobeknown2645]

@@bostin1472 Oh yeah, those are the really brutal ones.

[@andyoats]

I can appreciate the way these deaths actually *show* just how dangerous and terrifying these can be in-universe. Usually with games like this, the characters in the game will say how horrendous these creatures are but when you actually go up against them, all they do is knock your character back when they hit them, or down when they kill them. Here though, you actually get to see just HOW they kill their victims and it’s brutal and horrific. I like it.

I'm personally happy and sad at the same time about the change of the death theme from the demo. The old one was too eerie and painful to hear. While it told us that we were really screwed, that high pitch was too much for average human brain. Almost similar like Lavender town and not to mention that there were two of them and one of it was exactly from Forbidden Forest (C64).

[@VulpeRenard]

I'm really glad someone else got Forbidden Forest vibes from the animations and music/tones. Edit- Oh wow, I never actually saw the demo. Yeah, that sound is exactly from Forbidden Forest.

[@jeremyriley1238]

@@VulpeRenard My guess is they used it as a placeholder until they got their own song to put in.

[@VulpeRenard]

@@jeremyriley1238 Definitely, I've done the same a number of times too, but normally not for demos that are publicly released. Edit- Though Cosmi games are considered abandonware now, it wouldn't be a legal issue for them to keep the sounds in for full release, more of a creative/ethical issue.

[@velocilevon]

Oh yeah, that one was really unsettling, but despite that, I'm really glad they changed it. After a while all that pitch does is hurt your ears, and if you'd combine that with how easy it is to die in this game, all it would do is annoy the shit outta player xD

[@viket8316]

i prefer the old one they sound exactly like a horror sound would sounds in a nes game

[@copycat500]

I like how the “game over music” stays playing while the hero is still alive but unconscious. Kinda like how you can still hear some stuff before truly dying irl (only know about this from internet so may be wrong)

[@turbochop3300]

I love how the game over drops its beat in time with the slowly decaying corpse of our hero. *DECEASED* He sure is, game. He sure is...

[@spinyjustspiny3289]

The musical sting for it seems to imply that Alcedor is still alive as long as it plays. Which makes them even more horrific.

Knockback into PIT!. Also spikes (and crushers), falling blocks and Alastor. All these are one-hit-kills. Also for some reason in The Future, all enemies are one-hit-killers.

In all the animations that play when the player and even their skeleton get reduced to dust (by either fire or acid), the music that normally plays until death does not stop despite the character seemingly being dead by then. The implications are horrifying.

[@willy24able]

8:55 Does the death from Baphomet remind you guys of the Hellraiser series? That death should have reminds us of 2 of the infamous moments where Frank Cotton being torn apart by chains caused by the Cenobites. First time he opened the Lament Configuration, his original body got torn apart. When he mocked Kirsty(His niece) of her grief for her dead father(Larry), it proved to be his undoing as the Cenobites ambushed him and tore him apart the 2nd time with their chains and metal hooks.

It is a nice detail. No matter how much the heroic characters want you dead, they don't particularly care if Alcedor suffers (unlike the demons who are sadistic) and any suffering they cause in the demons and cultists they fight is just incidental so they'll always go for the quick kills instead of trying to draw things out.

[@WillieManga]

No matter how many games implement this sort of thing, I will always champion enemy specific death scenes. Games like Kirby, Shovel Knight and even most of the Doomlikes tend to create uniformed death scenes, but stuff like this goes the extra mile. And while some kills are similar to each other, I can forgive that when there are plenty of unique animations as is. And I enjoy the stylization of them, making everything red while leaving you and whatever kills you silhouettes.

[@MrHeesman]

This... this is what modern AAA-games are missing. Showing the player the consequences of failure. Giving the player a reason not to fail other than ''The plot mandates it!'' It raises the stakes in any given situation without it affecting the actual plot of the game so that the game itself can tell the story it wants to. I think it's a case of ''Don't tell it to the player, show it to the player.'' I'm too daft to understand the story of nearly any given game during the first playthrough, so I need ''that little extra'' to motivate me why I shouldn't fail. This is why I like Dead Space 1 and Resident Evil 4 (Original) I hardly understand what's going on but if there's one thing I do understand is that dying not only set me back progress-wise, but the game forces me to watch something I don't wanna see. TL;DR AAA-games of today don't have the balls to punish the player anymore. As in, the players themselves, not their wallets.

[@Linksmasher]

Never played before, just a recommendation video from KZbin but, man... Since I played Bloodstained, I feel like touching an enemy and receive damage is a cheap way of hurting the hero/character, I do prefer them to have something of a hitbox or at least a way to damage you aside of just being touched.

[@CrankyTemplar]

I think it's more that this style of NES games used contact damage and would be a bit odd to not have that occur, much like the knockback from being hit (despite as annoying as it can be to be knocked into instant death water/lava/pits).

[@Linksmasher]

Yup, I understand, games such as Megaman, Super Metroid, any Castlevania series, or even Terraria had that way to receive damage. It is just a personal opinion of how I prefer the games to be nowadays. And I hope they keep it in that way, not saying that games like these are bad, just... Odd.

[@brasilballs]

@@Linksmasher to be perfectly honest, i couldn't agree with you more. i've had a few deaths to the shield knights and the mages in kastka palace that felt really cheap because i touched them by accident (or had a mage teleport into me) that wouldn't be a problem were they not able to deal contact damage. i understand why they put that feature in as it was kind of a theme of platformers back in the day but as i see it enemies that have a main form of attack that isn't just touching/ramming into you shouldn't deal contact damage. and even though this feature used to be common, there's a couple of examples of older games that differed from the norm. for example, the revenge of shinobi and its sequel for the sega genesis/mega drive; most of the enemies there only knock you back and don't deal any damage, with the exception of bosses. this makes the game flow a lot nicer and even though it lets you damage boost through some sections without any drawback, both games still manage to be quite challenging without having to rely on contact damage to boost difficulty
