>>11103137Dracula X is better than Reddit Of Bloodthe latter reason for popularity is because it was a Japan only game on Le mysterious exotic Japanese console so it gotta be a hidden gem!!!
>>11103148plus ANIME XD
>>11103148What's so 'Reddit' about Rondo of Blood?
>>11103173plus pedos lusting over Maria and her big sexy boobs
>>11103148>Dracula X is betterCorrect. Dracula X is the best 16bit Castlevania.
>>11103182That somehow the single most overrated CV is still le hidden gem as redditors like to say. Just as its a reddit opinion to say "Castlevania 4 is overrated", which is the single most parroted and unoriginal opinion of the series when you hear way more critique of CV4 than blind praise for decades.
>>11103186Stupid question incoming: is Rondo of Blood 8 bit or 16 bit?
>>11103186Nah, I'll dethrone that as plain contrarianism. CV4 is the best, but not by much. Incoming>MUH TOO EASY, MUH USELESS SUBWEAPONS *starts shitting pants*Nobody cares when Symphony of the Night not only had useless subweapons, but an entirely useless RPG system.
>>1110319516 bit no doubt, sprites are so good that SotN reused sprites from it and Castlevania 4 in the PS1 era.
>>11103182You see, people here say they like it. This angers and confuses the shitposter. Because how dare other people talk about a game and not give them (you)s for being a retard.
>>11103194>single most overrated CVAren't 1 and 3 the most 'overrated' ones? And if we aren't talking classicvania specifically then it's definitely SotN>is still le hidden gemNever heard of that. It's probably hasn't been referred to as a 'hidden gem' since the WiiVC days
>>11103186>>11103201Blondlines MOGS CV4
>>11103204Shit yeah, I read into it and apparently PCE really is 16 bit. For some reason I thought it was an 8 bit console that somehow had great looking games
>>111032073 and 1 are both fantastic. Probably the best, they still filter people constantly. In the late 90s CV4 was overrated, but now that opinion has lost weight since everyone says its overrated. Rondo is probably the most overrated now by armchair youtube critiques who focus on the anime aspects, difficulty, and its initial regional exclusivity. It's great, but not the best.SotN is the most overrated of any entry bar none.
>>11103210Good CV? Definitely. Mogs? Definitely not, but its close. "Bloodlines>4" has become a much more popular opinion, mostly due to Egoraptor's critique of 4 becoming the consensus opinion and Bloodlines being the 16 bit entry that wasn't as popular.
>reddit>reddit>youtube>reddit>twitter>reddit>/v/>reddit>go back>reddit>this overrated hidden gem is a shit load of fuck what were they thinking?!>reddit
>>11103214There's no such thing as THE best Castlevania because but in my opinion Rondo is up there with 1 and 3. Then I'd put Dracula X and X68k in second place
>>11103230>becauseBecause tastes differ I wanted to say
>>11103216>Egoraptorno one knows who that is you faggotBloodlines is better game than CV4, it's that simple
You know I'm surprised how little people bring up how Rondo and Dracula X ditch the whip upgrade system. I find it works out for the better because whip upgrades are always placed in such a way that even after death you'll at least have a short chain whip from like the first candle you hit. Might as well skip the middle man and keep the Vampire Killer as a long chain whip, as it's always meant to be.
Good game bad. I am doing a contrarianism hahahahahahhaha
>>11103230>Dracula X and X68kNot before 4, not by a longshot>>11103236>Bloodlines is better game than CV4Is this what former Sega kids still tell themselves before bed every night? Ha!
>>11103137I tried it on Sega Saturn and I was "damn bitch, Maria and Simon?!" Then I play a few minutes with Maria and I thought "damn, this hooker has no rpg shit as Alucard... the fuck?".Maybe I got filtered, but... I bet my ass that is gonna be way more complicated to complete the game with both of then than Alucard, hands down.Any anon has enjoyed it that much to completed it as Maria or Simon? I grew up with a PSX, this Saturn Version by Konamy Osaka is brand new for my old 30yo ass.
>>11103243I don't think so, whip upgrades allow dynamic difficulty. So people that whine the game is too easy can just avoid them while newer players might need them. Simple solution to the issue of how accessible should games be.
>>11103256Reading it makes no sense, I am drunk and I got typos everywhere, my bad.
>>11103259I did not even tried Simon just Maria, I think I will play it today. Thanks for your opinion, anon. God bless.
>>11103137I still need to give it a fair shakeThat said, there are indeed other good (better?) TurboGrafx/PC Engine CD games. Pic related
>>11103195It's technically 8-bit
>>11103137Yeah it's overrated, it's a genuine 11/10.
>>11103256>>11103260Yeah I get what you mean anon but we are not talking about SotN here lmao. But I get that SotN is what immediately comes to mind when you see something Castlevania related and the word 'overrated' together
>>11103264>>11103260Get some sleep friend
>>11103280No, you got mixed up. When you add nocturne in the moonlight on Steam through Steam ROM manager, the stuff that it shows is from Rondo of Blood. That is why I got confused.
>>11103281I think you are right, thx friend I will sleep, buckle up, god bless/
>>11103137It's my favorite Castlevania
>>11103148tendie cope
>>11103137Rondo of Kino is tied with Dracula's Curse for best Classicvania.
Hydro Storm
>>11103259I’ve never heard of anyone intentionally avoiding whip upgrades. In most cases, it’s probably not even possible considering you can’t see what’s in a candle before whipping it.
>>11103182The consensus is that Rondo is a very good CV game. The contrarians all believe that holding the minority opinion makes them smart, cool, and informed. When this tactic does not work, they will accuse others of being redditors as a way to humiliate and debase their interlocutor.
>>11103259that's not dynamic difficulty, you fucking dipshit.
>>11103182middle-aged american men are reddit, and middle-aged american men never got to play le japanese-only game growing up, therefore the game is reddit
>>11104579you could import games from japan even in the 90s
>>11104589I'm not talking about rich people
Shitposting troll OP /thread
>>11103182It felt like just the other day everyone was talking about how this is best Castlevania if not Super Castlevania IV or CV3, suddenly now it's overrated
>>11105407It's almost as if this site is full of shitposters or something
>>11103182he's a known shitposter that mods refuse to range ban.
>>11103137Castlevania wasn't good until Symphony of the Night
>>11103137Nah. Its legitimately good. With emulation or a $5 purchase on digital PSN for an English version there's no reason not to play it now.
>>11103148>because it was a Japan only game on Le mysterious exotic Japanese consolemost people on 4chan who have played rondo of blood have never touched a pc engine game in their life except maybe Ys IV
>>11105921I think more people have played Ys I and II on the PCE than IV, even considering the fact that that Complete exists. Also Neutopia
overhated
>>11103137Meh, I wasn't impressed. It seemed so heavily dumbed-down compared to the NES/SNES/Genesis games and felt more like the gameplay was only just tacked on to justify the anime cutscenes.
>>11103226People here are obsessed with opinions from other websites and forget that people can actually hold and form opinions independently
>>11106086Bullshit no we cant
>>11103195The Turbografx16/PCEngine had an 8-bit CPU and a 16-bit GPU.
>>11106581YES we can, dear Mr. Troglodyte.
>>11106634Nah
>>11104579>Group is reddit>Group never interacted with Game>Therefore Game is redditSon are you retarded?
>>11103137 A big step backwards from Castlevania 4. What is this shit? Where is my controllable jump and 8-way-whip?
>>11103243I like the Whip upgrade system because it punishes you just a little bit more for dying.
>>11107959Not by much. As I said earlier: You get whip upgrades almost immediately after dying, what really stings is losing your subweapon and any multiplier runes you might have been carrying.
>>11103182ignore this man. It has been proven on more than one occasion that there is a terminally online freak who goes into every castlevania thread here and on /v/ and shits on RoB and Says that Dracula X is better. there is also another anon who is equally obsessed that checks every thread about castlevania to make the point that the name of the pc engine game was also Dracula X. you can find that anon here. >>11103186it is a wacky little community of castlevania fans here on this Mongolian basket weaving forum and to tell the truth you will soon find it is just 4 jobless people saying the same things every 4 days.
extremely low quality thread
Rondo is a souless facsimile of a Castlevania game.
>>11105993>Also Neutopiareally? im not sure...and played is different than beatingthat dragon ball z game has an assload of rom downloads though, if you go by just "playing", but its real time turn based fighting in japanese so no one really knows how to play it
what do rondofags think of legendary axe 1 and 2?
>>11103183Uoh
I pound OP's mom in the rectum and then in the cooch while listening to Rondo's OST.
>>11103186This is pure contrarianism. Dracula X is one of the weaker entries and is so cheap they use the castle you're supposed to be inside of as the goddamn background. People just say it's the best because it's painfully hard and that makes them feel superior.
>>11103216Egoraptor's arguments about Super Castlevania IV are debatable though not indefensible. His Mega Man X video on the other hand is absolutely perfect.
>>11110926Oh no! It uses a map baclground one time! I can't enjoy anymore!lol
>>11110926Lmao, Dracula's castle is a product of Chaos that doesn't follow the laws of nature, imagine being bothered by something like this
>>11110926kek never noticed this before. Not game ruining but extremely lazy. good looking out anon
