Classic Castlevania, the series where everyone likes one game and absolutely hates the rest despite them all being variants of the same exact gameplay. Which is your favorite? I must admit as someone who never was into it growing up trying to get into it has been hilarious since the "fandom" is the biggest gaggle of hipster pseudo gamers I've witnessed yet
>>12077109>the series where everyone likes one game and absolutely hates the restAnons have varying degrees on which is the best Castlevania but "hates the rest"? You must be confused with another fanbase.
>pre animeDo you normalfags ever think about the stupid bullshit you say?
what if they made a 3d castlevania like primemaybe i'm just biased because i'm replaying prime 1 rn but i think that'd be pretty cool
>>12077261oh and instead of scans you'd have books lying around for the lore instead, good excuse to bring back the librarian from sotn
>>12077261Then maybe this series might actually get a good 3D game to increase its tally of such from 0 to 1.
>>12077251If they're born before 1994 in which case they're the only people I want to talk to yes
>>12077109>everyone likes one game and absolutely hates the restIncorrect. There are two types:>Likes all of them except for 4 (normal, mentally stable opinion)>Hates all of them except for 4 (SNES drone)And literally nobody likes that piss poor remake of Rondo on SNES.
>>12077264
>generally chill fanbase that would spawn decent threads because few games are genuinely bad and the good ones cover a wide array >alphies get a hold of it and start trying to play gamewarz and tastemaker even though they're new as fuck and don't know shit People just don't even lurk anymore, just straight onto the internet toilet to start dumping.
>>12077109>as someone who never was into it growing upWhat were you into then?
>>12077512Uhhh Sonic, Shinobi, Mega Man, Contra, fighting games, licenshit based on capeshit
>>12077109>pre animeAbsolute retard
>>12077638How >SOTN ISN'T ANIME Yes it is, you're just a zoomers who doesn't remember when anime looked like that. Go watch Wicked City and Ninja Scroll and shut up. Anime wasn't all rehashes of Toriyama in 1997 or whatever like it is now
At the end of the day....All of these games are really great just olay in order. Also X68K and XX.
how long would it take me to go through the whole series?they're all short games, right?
>>12077674I've already watched both of those and what's your point? Ayami Kojima's art style looks nothing like them. Are you fucking blind?You're doubly retarded because Rondo of Blood, Bloodlines and even Carmilla from Simon's Quest are all 10x more "anime" than SotN.Pic related: a "non-anime" art style, according to your delusional mind.
>>120771093 and Rondo are the best ones. I guess 3 if I had to choose between them. Feels like a culmination of everything Konami learned in regards to how to program for an NES game. Multiple characters, routes, bigger and harder bosses, more spells and weapons and a great soundtrack as usual.
>>12077674>>SOTN ISN'T ANIMEI don't think you understand why you're being called a retard.
>>12077704No they're not, only Rondo is anime at all. The rest are pure western fantasy
>>12077109I like all
>>12077718>"Pure western fantasy"You're an idiot
Half of the game events in the original Castlevania are straight out of Vampire Hunter D, while some of the rest is from Lupin III Castle of Cagliostro.
Hi, my name is OP and I am a complete fucking retard who has never heard of Yoshitaka Amano or Vampire D. Please be patient with my dumbass opinions and embarrassing ignorance.
>>12077303It already got a good one in 1999.
>>12077109I like almost all Castlevania games. When you like a franchise, you enjoy all its titles in any order. I can play SOTN, then move on to Castlevania Simon's Quest, and then play Portrait of Ruin or OoE. Obviously, I play other games, but I don’t see myself idolizing one game and hating the rest; that seems very autistic to me.
>>12077303Castlevania already has good 3D games. It's just that people don't take the time to play them or they have a bias that Castlevania should only be 2D games.
>>12077261Castlevania already has 6 games in 3D. But most people only think that its only games are Super Castlevania IV, SotN, and Aria of Sorrow.
>>12077109>everyone likes one game and absolutely hates the restI like Super Castlevania Bros IV, Rondo and Bloodlines actually, I don't like the NES ones very much though (they're from before my time), my favorite vampire-themed 8-bit game is Master of Darkness.
>>12078137>>12078150Wait... Eric was Elizabeth all along?
>>12078187ok, auster.
>>12077109>pre anime>never saw Vampire Hunter Dlmfao nigga
>>12077109honestly like them all, I guess Rondo of Blood is probably my fave
>>12078194Auster doesn't like Super Castlevania Bros IV, though.
>>12078727Auster, your memes are never gonna be used by other people. They're too low IQ and unfunny.
>>12077109>Classic Castlevania, the series where everyone likes one game and absolutely hates the restWhat are you talking about? I can't think of a single person (even on here) that only likes one classic Castlevania game.
>>12077690Yes, the metroidvanias take 5-10 hours to finish and most classicvanias are probably in about the same range when taking difficulty into account.Hard to pin down any "essential" games list but expect somewhere around 15-20 entries without getting too bogged down.I would also recommend trying out the lesser-known entries, because some of those are among the very best.
>>12078508Vampire Hunter D is anime dumbass. It's creator hates anime too, the anime is based on real adult word books not manga
>>12078150ESL
>>12078137>Actually vampire hunter d invented vampiresNo it didn'tAnd the only Castlevania similar in aesthetic is Iga, which is anime. You don't have frail androgynous heroes in classicvania, you have Conan looking guys
Lol at weeaboos trying to credit anime with the themes of Castlevania. Whether it's gothic horror, pagan world cryptids and monsters, or the actual real life origin of the Dracula myth, every one of these is European in origin. Just because Japan rips shit off doesn't mean they're important to it you uncultured troonime faggots
>>12079147>>12079149>>12079153>>12079158Be honest, how many of these posts are the same person?
Crazy Castle>
>>12079153>You don't have frail androgynous heroes in classicvaniaThe image you're replying to isn't an Igavania, it's Bloodlines for the Mega Drive. No one is saying VHD "invented" vampies, munmies, ghoulies etc but that the art style is very obviously inspired by Amano's work.>>12079149I'm white, anglo and have spoken English my entire life. What exactly about my post made you sperg out and believe I was a brownoid like you?
>>12079851>obviously inspired by Amano's work.The hero has a square jaw like He-Man so no
>>12079880idk why you're so gay for manly men, i mean not judging or anythin' but heroes don't even have to be guys y'know
>>12079898I never really thought about androgyny until Gen z came and were trans now it annoys me and I hate anime
>>12077109I'm going to play Bloodlines for the first time. I always was torn on IV, the expanded control is great but it also takes something away by making weapons other than the whip usually useless. Maybe Bloodlines is the more traditional 16 but experience that will impress me in a different way
>>12079537Bugs or Woody
>>12078164That's not a good game. It's just a shameless, unoriginal GoW clone.
>Rondo>"pre-anime"
>>12081234It's also the worst of classic
>>12077109>Classic Castlevania, the series where everyone likes one game and absolutely hates the rest despite them all being variants of the same exact gameplay.You're clearly mixing up SotNtards with classicvania fans.
