"Super Castlevania IV was a mistake."
- Koji IGArashi
>>320577894
Mode 7 stages were shit.
it's pretty much worst classicvania if you omit the gameboy entries from your memory, which you should
>>320578128
can't be worse than the castlevania on megadrive/genesis, which was pretty fucking shite
>>320578265
only problem is that the control feels slightly janky, like there's a delay when landing and when another action can be performed
>>320577894
i like super castlevania iv
>>320579032
I got bad news for you, anon...
You have bad taste in vidya.
>>320579369
If bad taste means I can enjoy more things I'm all for it.
The treasure room was amazing
>>320578128
>omit the gameboy entries
But I like Harmony of Dissonance and Aria of Sorrow.

Why are you using a picture of the Clockwork Mansion on the IV picture? That level was cool (even if you think the rotating room was "gimmicky" or whatever argument you might present, that was just a short part of the whole level), but the Clockwork Mansion was a new level that wasn't on the original CV. You should have used stage 6, Castle Entrance, to compare.
Anyway, both IV and X68K are good games. So sad you're so pretentious that you need to hate on one of the most popular Castlevania games just to be edgy, bro.
Hey guys, you gotta help me here.
I just bought Castlevania: The New Generation for my Seega Genesis, but it feels a bit weird while playing it. Is this because PAL games run at 50hz? Can somebody confirm?
>>320580178
Yes pal games run only in 50hz. This means the game runs around ~13% slower - as in the music plays and the character moves slower.
>>320580178
Did you forget to mod your Siga Miga Drive first in order to run games at 60fps? That is essential if you want the master race encoding.
>>320580460
No, I'm using my Seega Genesis, with a PAL cart. Also, what's up with the name "The New Generation"? Bloodlines is way better.
>>320578265
Bloodlines was a good game fuck you.
>>320577894
Fuck you as well op SCIV is great
Rondo of Blood > III > 68000 > I > Adventure ReBirth > Belmont's Revenge > Bloodlines > II > Legends > Adventure > XX > Super IV
>>320580178
Just emulate it and switch the refresh rate to whatever you prefer.
>>320580621
you could always just play the superior us version you fucking euro-literal-cuck
>>320580621
New Generation is more family-friendly so it's the better name by far. Fuck your edgy teenager bullshit.
>>320580890
>Legends or Adventure
>above anything
>Baby's first classicvania in first
>>320580890
Hey Australia-kun
For those who don't know, OP is a known shitposter on /vr/ castlevania threads.
He often argues how PAL is superior to NTSC, and defends censorship on The New Generation (Bloodlines).
He also claims the correct way to pronounce Sega is "See-gah", because that's how they pronounce it in Australia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v4CCcXq5h4
Everyone on /vr/ already made fun of him, so he's now trying to shitpost on /v/ I guess.
>>320581103
>baby's first classicvania
But he didn't put Super IV in first you kuck
>>320581002
It's also better because they removed graphical assets, right, australia-kun?
>50hz
>>320581219
Rondo is easier than IV
>Maria
>item crash
>levels are short and easy as all fuck
>dracula fight is a joke
the only seemingly challenging parts of Rondo are some of the boss fights, like Death or Werewolf, but most of them are also pretty easy.
Dracula XX is more challenging and closer to the NES titles.
Why do people call SCIV a remake
Welp, super IV must have suddenly become more popular of something.
Why does everybody hate IV?
Also, is it just me or is Stage 8 ridiculous compared to the rest of the game?
>>320581219
Super gets CV1 difficult near the end, and Rondo literally has an easy difficulty mode character. Even beyond that Rondo is simply easier. A superiorly designed game, maybe. It's certainly pretty, and sounds fantastic. But on a tier list, it's at best top 3 material.
>castlevania 4 is bad
What makes you say that?
>>320581593
Because it's popular and because Asutralia-kun is an autistic manchild.
And yeah, the game does pick up difficulty considerably stage 8 on wards.
>>320577894
Igarashi didn't even touch Castlevania until SOTN. I think he was just finishing up university by the time CVIII came out.
Once I finish IV, I'm probably going to get Circle of the Moon over with. I'm at Death, so I don't have too much left. (I think)
What should I play after I'm done with these two? The only other CV I've played is Aria of Sorrow.
>>320581623
>>320581417
Bosses and enemies alone in RoB shit on anything from Super IV. Not to mention the controls are so piss easy in SC4 that it trivializes any challenge the game might pose. Fuck your multi-whip bullshit, it goes against what the franchise is all about.
>>320577894

>>320581919
Yeah whatever you say Australia-kun
>PAL
>censorship
>50hz
>>320577894
Igarashi is also the same faggot that ran the series into the ground with Metroidvania trash resulting in those spanish faggots making lords of wiggerdark. So yea, what he thinks is good and what is actually good is obviously 2 different things.
>>320581946
>epic
kill yourself reddit kun
>>320579935
First gameboy.
>>320581919
Maria's double jump and the item crash mechanics goes against what the franchise is all about.
Same about the auto-scrolling stages on Bloodlines, and the blue orb subitem that instakills every enemy on screen.
Stop shitposting.
>>320582058
Igarashi didn't say anything about IV, australia-kun is just trying to bait /v/ after he failed at /vr/
Why does everybody hate Harmony of Dissonance?
>>320582228
I don't withdraw my statement even so.
>>320582110
Belmont's Revenge is pretty cool though.
>>320582145
>Maria
Don't play as her then you casual fuck.
>item crash
Limited usage that is only handy if you're a retard who has to grind hearts to win. But then this is coming from a Super IV baby, you love a shitty game that even a carrot could beat so you had to resort to using cheap OP faggotry in the superior game. How pathetic.
>>320581919
Fuck off Ego
>>320581902
1 and 3 are must plays, and then you should eventually play Rondo then Symphony, and feel free to play the Sharp version/CV Chronicles, Bloodlines, Simon's Quest, Belmont's Revenge, and the other IGAvanias at any point really, though I thought HoD and DoS were pretty mediocre. If you can The Adventure ReBirth is pretty good too.
>>320581919
>SCIV sucks because the controls are good
Every time. I've never heard an argument why they shouldn't have kept those controls but just made harder enemies/levels to balance it.
>>320582408
Give up, Australia. Your irrational hate for IV only makes you angry and you might get a heart disease because of it.
IV is still a great game and there is nothing you can do about it, absolutely nothing. The more you hate it, the more I love it.
>>320582335
Oh yeah, my mistake, i wanted to post adventure, way too hard with frustrating controls.
>>320582519
>Fuck off Ego
I'm not defending that faggot, but hi sequelitis video was taken out of proportion and exaggerated by shitposters.
Egoraptor actually says he thinks IV is a great game, and he haven't even beat it himself when he made the sequelitis video, so I guess it wasn't really an easy game for him.
He just made some sorta controversial opinions for the sake of it, but he doesn't think IV is bad, quite the contrary.
>>320582528
>Castlevania shouldn't have intentionally limiting controls because I say so
Let me guess, you also hate Silent Hill because you're too shit to adapt to its controls too?
Fucking Superfags were the cancer that killed Castlevania even before SotN came out.
Castlevania X68k is fucking amazing. It's simultaneously fresh and also a great throwback to the original. The development team wasn't concerned with "innovating" for the sake of it like in SCV 4, and just focused on creating fun, interesting, and exciting stages. Not to mention, it also has an incredible soundtrack.

>>320582528
when you beat castlevania IV, you start again with more enemies on screen (for example, one of the dogs that appears on stage 6 on the first loop, appears right on the first level on the 2nd loop, and so on), and enemies take more damage to beat, a lot of more bats on screen fucking your shit up too, so you get more use out of the diagonal whipping.
Most people who complain about IV being easy haven't even beaten the game without using continues anyway.
>>320582891
the only problem with this game is that it's too hard. it's impossible for me.
>>320582891
It is a great game, although it's also not a 1:1 remake of Castlevania 1.
And yeah, which Classicvania game doesn't have an incredible soundtrack?
>>320582889
>the gameplay should stay exactly the same forever because I say so
we doing this all night?
>>320583010
I love the difficulty. Playing through multiple loops makes it even more fun.
>>320583025
That's true, but I think it goes above and beyond. Each stage song does a great job of getting you pumped except the gear tower which I thought was annoying.

>>320583025
Konami had some real musical talent back in the day that's for sure
>>320583907
Even the music from the cutesy spinoff is nice.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjYVcJq8wG0
>>320580178
yes.
it's also censored.
get the real version
>>320584403
But according to Australia-kun, The New Generation is better because it's more family-friendly and also runs at 50hz which is superior to 60hz, (again, according to Australia-kun).SEEEEEEE-GUH!
>>320582335
I liked Legends, it also still houses the best girl of the series
>inb4 canonfags
>>320584741
Yeah, Legends definitely gets more hate than it deserves.
And I love Sonia too
>>320584741
>best girl
>isn't even the morning sun that came to vanquish the horrible night
>>320584741
dat leotard
>>320578265
Bloodlines was OK, but there's weirdos on the internet who will swear up and down that it's the best in the series. I can't get over the shitty sound effects in the game like when you the whip... it's just weird.
>>320577894
>>320581747
>>320582058
Did we ever found out who were the original creators of Castlevania?
I mean, what were they thinking? It was basically like a western horror fanfic from a Japanese POV and where did the idea of a whip came from?
I am guessing Indiana Jones as usually it was wooden stakes or silver bullets.
>>320584741
Yeah, she sure has been mistreated. She really is a great female character, actually strong but we are not force fed every second she is stronk women, she just gets shit done.
>>320586350
We know that Hitoshi Akamatsu was the director of the first 3 games, but we don't really know who the actual creator of the series is, or who was the original designer of Simon Belmont, it's still a mystery.
>>320582297
Sound quality. Also the castle is big as fuck and not that interesting.And I'm retarded and always dashed into enemies when Juste was facing left.
