I want to play the old Castlevanias after watching Nocturne. I have a PS5, Steam Deck, and Xbox. Are the recent collections good or am I better off emulating the originals?
why bother mentioning that part? good job shitting up your own thread in advance. anyway just emulate 1 and 3 (japanese version) for the NES. if you enjoy their gameplay style, play everything because the franchise is consistently great. if the NES games are "too clunky" for you then don't bother playing the later entries, we don't need any more SotN-only tourist faggots around here.
>>12230413The recent collections are ok, although the later ones with the Metroidvanias are the ones that benefit more. For the classics, there isn't much that the collections add over emulation.
>>12230686>why bother mentioning that part?Because it makes people like you seethe.I got the classics collections since they're on sale, and the first game is fun so far. The sprite animation on Simon is cool, he just just looks ready to fuck shit up.I don't know why the Castlevania game fans hate the anime. I like the Angelina Jolie Tomb Raider movies because they're sexy and fun, even though they're nothing like the original games. I would imagine the popularity of the anime has made the collections sell more than they would have otherwise, which keeps the franchise alive.
The """anime""" (not a real anime btw) made Alucard a literal faggot. Kill yourself.

>>12231005>it makes people like you seethe.can you even read what i said? i looked past it instantly and gave you advice. are you disappointed i didn't seethe more? the fact you're going at this topic with this kind of attitude makes you look like a lame faggot, and honestly /vr/ has higher posting standards than this.

>>12230686>Conveniently skips CV2, the game that spawned the Metroidvania genreFound the tourist
>>12231005Because they're full of Netflix redheads and faggots. Do you like Alucard anon? He's pretty cool right? Well he's a gay pedophile. That's right, pederasts are our childhood heroes now and if you don't like it you're a literal Nazi.
>>12231098sorry to get your hopes up but those remarks are completely unrelated to your netflix bait. i would give the same advice to anyone and i already have many times. SotNtards are their own bag of worms.>>122311072 is a weird digression that does its own thing. it didn't "spawn" anything other order of ecclesia, which isn't retro and is also a subpar game just like 2.
Funnier than usual bait.
>>12231120>Do you like Alucard anon? He's pretty cool right?Well he's a gay pedophile. That's right, pederasts are our childhood heroes now and if you don't like it you're a literal Nazi.I'm going to need to see some evidence of that.
>>12230413dunno how the collections work but i'd recommend starting with 1, 4, rondo of blood (there's a TL patch for it), or sotn. after that just pick whichever ones interest you, despite what you may hear from castlevania "fans" most games in this series from both sides are really good.>>12231132order of ecclesia is one of the best games in the series, retard. the quest system is a major flaw granted but i assume they were based around online play back then.
>>12231280ecclesia would be the absolute worst igavania if harmony of dissonance didn't exist. it combined metroid and classic elements but it ended up with the worst of both. the level design is beyond lazy full of copy+pasted screens and the game is just a failed experiment overall.also your recommendations are fucking retarded, IV is such a brain dead pick for someone to start with. yeah sure, let's make him start with the castlevania that plays absolutely nothing like any other castlevania - it's got muh quality of life features!honestly you should have more trust in people's intelligence than that, either that or you're simply a retard yourself.
>>12231425>it combined metroid and classic elements but it ended up with the worst of both.personally i felt that way about cotm. in ecclesia you get the best of both if anything, the combat is both very nuanced and, importantly, encourages you to take advantage of most of the many options you have. i'll admit the the exploration isn't the best (which is part of why i prefer portrait), and that i would've rather had a connected overworld like cv2 instead of a map screen (maybe warps between towns?), but the idea of having bite sized tough areas for a metroidvania is a far smarter way to introduce difficulty than just jacking up enemy health and power. that said, there could've been more themes between areas too instead of just reskins admittedly.>also your recommendations are fucking retarded, IV is such a brain dead pick for someone to start with. yeah sure, let's make him start with the castlevania that plays absolutely nothing like any other castlevania - it's got muh quality of life features!i'd post that guy's copypasta about how no castlevania game is "pure" but i'm sure he'll do himself. anyway i thought it was fun back then and it got me into playing the rest of the series, so sorry for your mental skill issue.
Castlevania III (J) is worse than Castlevania III (NA) in every way. Bear this in mind OP
Don't look into the death star or you will die.
>>12231239It's near the end of season 3. Episode 6 or 7. Alucard is fucking a 14 year old Asian girl while her twin brother watches when all of a sudden the kid flips Alucard over, ties him up, and starts fucking him in the ass missionary style. They all cum, then the Japanese kids try to kill him while he is still bondaged.
>>12231280>>122314824 is easily the worst 16bit Vania, while also being the worst remake of CV1. It's simply not a good Castlevania game and anyone who tells you otherwise is blinded by nostalgia
>>12232146thats total bullshit i did it and im tota
>>12230413I have played most of the classic Castlevanias before SOTN and while I see their merit they were just not really for me, they were quite frustrating and you can barely make any mistakes if you want to finish the levels, the SNES one was definitely the most enjoyable but it still got quite hard towards the end
>>12233119Nice bait. It IS bait, right? This can't be real
