Based.

P.S. what do you guys think about Chronicles compared to X68000 and the changes made to it?

Not a fan, but it's not unplayably bad or anything.
>even as someone that likes Kojima's art her take on Simon here just doesn't fit, I think even she thought so since her modern takes on Simon are much closer to the earlier designs
>hitboxes have been altered on your whip and subweapons, very annoying if you've familarized yourself with the x68k version
>new difficulty is nice for newcomers but offers nothing for fans of the original
>remixed soundtrack doesn't fit the tone of the series but I guess they wanted to do something different after years of remixes so I don't think it's too bad as its own thing
Just not really worth revisiting outside of curiosity. CV1 was my favorite prior to playing x68k and one of the few things that held it back in my mind is feeling too easy after a few playthroughs so the new difficulty of x68k was great for me.

You know how everyone laughs at the GBC version of Super Mario Bros?
As a port, Chronicles is worse than that. Every single person who only played it through that port didn't play the game.

The only ones I actively dislike are are Harmony and that overrated X68000 piece of shit.

I know people like 4 a good deal and it's a good game, but I will always feel let down by it after playing 3. 3 gave us 4 characters to play as, it was intense and fun.

I also have huge fond memories of trying to figure out 2, talking with friends and family and looking up things in magazines. I never played anything before 1-4 soooo.....

3 > 2 > 4 > 1

The only message I'm getting from this thread is that 64 is either highly rated or lowly rated

Running around the castle is pretty fun, but the gameplay is kind of ass.

>>12885332
Good games worth playing that I cant decide which is the best because they are all amazing for their own ways:
Castlevania
Castevania3
Castlevania4
Castlevania bloodlines
Castlevania Rondo of Blood
Castlevania x68000
Castlevania Rebirth

The rest:
Fucking dogshit watered down trash with low difficulty and awful level design with boring gameplay literally just a objectively shittier metroid

3, Bloodlines, 1, SOTN, Rondo, Game boy advance stuff, 2, 4, Chronicles and 64 tie at the bottom. I like things about all of them. Even 64 isn’t so bad. I think 4 has great presentation and music, but its just too easy and the all directions whip makes it so casual.

I've only played Chronicles and 1 so far... I loved Chronicles' arrage mode, didn't even try the OG due to hearing how the X68000 is for more hardcore fans. I went this route as I wanted to start with 1, and this seemed similar, but with the added difficulty settings, and saving, it was great, I got through on Easy with 5 lives at first, then Normal with 3, after that I put Chronicles down in order to try out 1, and I love it so far... still, the Frankenstein boss is filtering me, and the one time I got through it was the corridor before the Death boss that did it, this is rough, but fun. I'm not sure if I'll manage to beat it though, I hope I can, we'll see.

Based enjoyer, C64 is a very underrated fucking game and the atmosphere it creates is actually the closest thing to what Castlevania is supposed to be. Creepy forests with wolves and vampires

I managed to beat CV1 and it's truly sublime, it pissed me off a lot more than Chronicles, but it's a better video game, and the one I'd replay over the other. Now I'm going for CV4 or Rondo of Blood probably, I like the simplicity of using the whip and subweapons, linear levels, but I want something more comfortable and/or with saves/password.
