/vr/ - Retro Games

I can tell you the worst one is Chronicles.

>>5409605
The best Castlevania game, as always, is whichever one someone else on /vr/ does NOT like.

My favorite Castlevania game is, as always, the game that anyone else on /vr/ hates.

What's the best Castlevania game? SOTN
What's your favorite Castlevania game? SOTN

Super Castlevania IV

>>5409638
It's a cliche, but it's true.

>>5409619
IV or SOTN?
or both?

>>5409761
Super Castlevania III: Simon's Rondo of the Moon

>>5409605
best? probably rondo or sotn
favorite? 3
sotn has maybe the best soundtrack but its hard to find a castlevania soundtrack i dont like

Of the ones I've played:
>best
3
>favorite
Bloodlines

Best- 3
Fav- 1

>>5409605
>best
Rondo
>favorite
Bloodlines or X68k

Best is III, as in the most realized Castlevania.
Favorites can't decide between 1, IV, Rondo and X68K, they're all great.

Best: 3
Favorite: Lament of Innocence.

SCIV & CV1 are the best.

The rest are generally good, save for some obscure ports.

I like 3 best but I've never played SOTN yet

Best and fav gonna be Rondo of Blood. Great music, cool levels, challenging boss fights, tight controls, super weapons, with two characters and routes. 3 and SoTN are close, but the first had way too much autistic enemy spam near the end and the later’s castle flip was overhyped backtracking.

>SCIV
No.

Why would you pick a different best and favourite? What is wrong with your brain?

>>5409605
Every Classicvania is good
Rondo is probably the best.
Super IV is great despite what /vr/ says.

I haven't played the DS ones yet, but I assume they are pretty good.

>>5409605
The original is by far the best, tightest, and most focused game in the series. Rondo is alright, but very overrated. 2 is underrated. 4 is babby's first bombastic next-gen remake (but still a good game). x64k is pretty good, but boring towards later stages. Bloodlines has amazing music, impressive visual effects and shit everything else. SotN+ are all trash in terms of gameplay, although SotN is stellar aesthetically.

The computer ports. :^)

I looked at the video of the PC port and go to 0:47. One thing that floored me is that they copied the NTSC dot crawl from the NES because they apparently thought that was part of the graphics. It looks as if they just hooked up a NES and rented Castlevania from the local Blockbuster so they could pause the game and copy down the graphics.

It's hard to comprehend just what a level of stupidity it takes to do this.

>>5413165
I can't see what you're talking about

>>5413197
Look at the stippling between the floor bricks and on the window frames. When they did the graphics for the DOS version, they copied the NTSC dot crawl from the NES graphics.

>>5413208
That's fucking funny

If you look at a clean emulator screenshot of the NES, that stuff isn't there. In fact even Nintendo Power used special in-house NESes with RGB monitors to take crystal-clear screenshot with no dot crawl.

>>5413152
That Amiga port was literally done by an Eastern European dev who probably worked cheap.

>>5413105
Damn, you convinced me.
