/vr/ - Retro Games

>>5604236
Yes.
It isn't even a question.

>>5604236
It's definitely one of the best.

nononnonononononnononnnon GOD JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK OYU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCKOYOU !q!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God i am so tired of these damn threads and you stupid trolls!!! DIE!!!!!!!!

The /vr/ castlevania generals ruined the games for me.

Mid tier for me.

Bloodlines, Dracula's Curse, Rondo, Dracula X, Akumajō Dracula.

Order of Ecclesia
Portrait of Ruin
SotN
etc
etc
etc

>>5604281
How did you even learn to use a computer/phone?

>>5604283
0/10 bait try again

>>5604390
Those top 4s are very uncontroversial, usually in peoples top tier

I just find SotN slightly worse than the PoR and Ecclesia. But it's still a decent game.

Nah

It's really good in my opinion and I can overlook a few flaws, but it does have flaws that other games in the series don't. And while I like the more modern style of castlevania (exploration and a few rpg mechanics, stuff like that) I can understand why people who loved classic castlevanias would complain if the style of game was changed for like half of the series and the only games available that were more like the classic ones were either ports or remakes.

For instance one of the flaws I find with the game is the equipment in general. Yes, there's a lot of variety with weapons that have unique special attacks and such, and on your first playthrough you might not even use them at all, but there's a lack of balance where some weapons will pretty much go unused unless you force yourself to because by the time you grab them you might already have something that's much better despite whatever effect it might have. Not to mention many of these weapons and equipment options make the game already quite easy with the exception of one boss. Another issue I find with this already easy game is familiars, which you get access to late enough that you might not even bother with for long. I would personally change the game so familiars were attainable earlier, but weapons were balanced in such a way that exploration was rewarding, plus you would choose different ones for different situations rather than sticking to overly powerful stuff. And maybe make the game a bit more challenging. I never gave a shit about things like enemy element weaknesses and I feel that that's a problem with the game giving you stuff that's so powerful that's almost irrelevant.

Despite that I think it's a pretty great game. People have issues with the level design, I know that map from top to bottom and I really don't have an issue with it (I would say if I had to dislike one map, it's Harmony of Dissonance).

No, Rondo's the best

>>5604236
Not even the best castleroid.

>>5604236
SOTN is like the U.N Squadron of shmups.
not a real castlevania game

Pic related is the best Classic castlevania.

You fags need to get acquainted with the offical retrovania tier list.
Rondo = 68K/Chronicles > III > Bloodlines > SotN > I > Drac X > Revenge > Legends > Vampire Killer > II > Haunted Castle > Adventure > IV

>>5604624
It really is, it has something that people overlook which is being able to turn around and move in mid air. I hate that a game that came out way later (HoD) didn't have this feature.

>>5604624
>UN Squadron is not a real shmup
UN Squadron is fun, so that makes sense.

>>5604625
Based and redpilled. 100% accurate.

>>5604625
Update that shit, IV was never anything below top 5 (fuck australia-kun and egoraptor zoomers), and Rondo isn't the best one.

>>5604649
:^)

>>5604649
IV is only in the top 5 if you’re a Super Nintendo babby. I’m not Australian or a fan of egoraptor. Pick a new strawman, cuck.

>>5604649
Updated just for you:
Rondo = 68K/Chronicles > III > Bloodlines > SotN > Kid Drac > I > Drac X > Revenge > Legends > Vampire Killer > II > Haunted Castle > Adventure > IV

>>5604654
>IV is only in the top 5 if you’re a Super Nintendo babby.
muh console wars, am I right?

>>5604653
I never got this meme. Why Mario?

>>5604625
>>5604656
>games like SotN, Kid and II in the same list as classicvanias
Gonna be a yikes from me champ, but you tried, I'm sure the IV bait will work a bit.

>>5604656
>IV last
You need to make changes. But only to differentiate between NES Kid Dracula and the superior GB version.

>>5604440
cool, get me the statistics and your proof of sources and I'm sure everyone will believe you. never change /vr/. never change.

Theres only one version of castlvania. It's on the PC engine

>>5604676
PC Engine doesn't have any Castlevania.
PC Engine Super CD-Rom2 system has an easy Castlevania game with more emphasis on tansaku than on action, and with unskippable cutscenes.

>>5604649
>top 5
It's objectively the 4th best Castlevania in the numbered entries.

>>5605182

>>5604236
>Is memophony of the night the best Casltevania game?

No, it isn't.

>>5605217
are you sure about that?.avi

>>5604673
what the fuck are you talking about

>>5604440
I like a lot of the metroidvania CVs but Ecclesia was just boring and grindy with almost no interesting platforming until the bonus dungeons. I think it's one of the worst.

>>5604628
Aye, but only the arcade version, not the casualised SNES downgrade.

>>5605217
Glad to know someone with taste.

>>5604242
fpbp

SOTN is not even a real Castlevania game, it's a spinoff.

>>5605257
Absolutely.
>>5605340
Sorrow never fades friend.

>>5605495
Dawn is better by a wide margin.

>>5605491
>Super Castlevania Bros IV

>>5605520
please answer this: >>5604659

Castlevania fans are retarded.

>>5605535
my favorite > SHIT >>>> your favorite

No, Symphony of the Night is not a good game
GBA titles aren't either
The level design and platforming is fucking shit

>>5605491
fucking based, best list I've seen so far

>>5605491
>3 not a part of the trinity
>Rondo of Bootleg on the same tier as Bloodlines and the real Dracula X
>Super Casualvania Bros. not in purgatory

What a shitty list.

>>5605587
We know it's you, australia-kun.
All 3 Simon games are part of the Trinity, as much as you hate the SNES. DWI, etc.

>>5605595
Nice boogeyman, but Auster would've called Bloodlines "The new Generation", not its American name.

>>All 3 Simon games are part of the Trinity, as much as you hate the SNES. DWI, etc.
I don't hate the SNES, just bad games. You "DWI", retarded schizo.

>>5605605
There has never been real criticism for Castlevania IV outside of unexplained "bros" memes and claiming it's easy when in fact gets harder than Rondo or Bloodlines (or at least on the same leve as those).
So.
Also, auster has learned to hide his ass sometimes, he tried to pass as a /vg/ kid some weeks ago by adopting the jarpig buzzword.

>>5605491
>no belmont's revenge
othat than that this is perfect

>wah wah stop discussing any game except CV1 and CV3.

>>5604236

>>5605634
Definitely more of a real Castlevania game than IGA stuff.

>>5605670
This.

>>5605670
Shame it wasn't all action-platformer levels. Those Villa and Castle Center levels can be a real slog.

>>5605491
imagine being this contrarian

>>5605854
What's contrarian about it?
Alright, some people might not consider IV or X68000 over III or Rondo, but other than that...
Also, I like the idea of the holy trinity being all 3 different takes of Simon's gospel.

>>5605491
Agreed

>>5605878
The trinity should be the beginning story (III), the next story (I), and a modern story (RoB, or perhaps Bloodlines).

>>5605902
>Bloodlines
>holy trinity
nice joke

>>5605902
>the next story
There's more stuff between III (1400s) and Simon's story (1600s)
Anyway, chronology isn't the basis for judging games.

>>5605902
>Rondo
>modern story
It's set in the 1700s dude.
