Which game deserves the title of worst Castlevania game ever: Dracula XX on SNES or Bloodlines on Genesis?
>inb4 Simon's Quest AVGN memers
>inb4 Super Castlevania Egoraptor memers
>inb4 Metroid with Swords ("Metroidvania") fanboys
Worst pre-SoTN game is the arcade game, after that is the first gameboy one. Simon's quest is mediocre so that would be third worst.
There is nothing "worst" about either of those games.
Dracula X/Vampire's Kiss and Bloodlines are both far better than Simon's Quest, the three Gameboy ones, Haunted Castle and Chronicles.

I'll give you all of those except Chronicles. The non-remake version (as in port of the X68k game) is great and everything classicvania should be.
>>320874765
What's so terrible about Chronicles?
>>320872358
Those are both pretty good games, anon. The worst Castlevania by far is Castlevania 2.
>>320874765
What's bad about Chronicles?
It's my favorite Classicvania after Rondo.

Chronicles is one of the best Classicvanias ever.

>favourite Classicvania
Rondo of Blood and Dracula's Curse are practically tied for me, but since Rondo's presentation is some of the best in the series it edges it out.
>favourite IGAvania
Order of Ecclesia is my favorite game in the whole series. Had everything I liked about Iga's games without most of the bullshit, along with great new characters and some of the best spritework in the series.
>favourite 3Dvania
Legacy of Darkness had some interesting ideas and a good base for future 3D games even if it executed its concepts poorly.
None of them are that good.
>favourite non-Metroid or Castlevania Metroidvania
Cave Story
>favourite Belmont
Julius
>favourite Yamane OST
That's fucking hard.
Order of Ecclesia maybe. I really liked the new songs like Empty Tome and the returners are as great as ever.
>favourite non-Yamane OST
Definitely Judgement, despite the games flaws in every other area.

Nigga, you just went full retard.
>>320876831
Too many shitty autoscrolling segments, background/sprite art is horrible by 1994 standards, music sounds like tinny farts on the YM2612, and most of the bosses are even easier than Super IV's. Also lol @ only 7 stages for a 16-bit game. It's just a garbage game that's overrated by envious Segafags.

Rondo of Blood. Those synths and the early '90s sitcom drum machine just date it so perfectly

Nothing. It's one of the best, actually. You just get retards like >>320877187 who froth at the mouth when presented with Sega games.
bloodlines is one step away from great, in that for some reason the controls are slightly janky
dracula xx is mediocre all around, like a chinese rom hack
>>320876121
I played it a few weeks ago and I have to agree, it's like the castlevania 1 definitive edition

Segatards, everyone.
>>320879214
They're still butthurt they got the inferior SotN version on their failure of a system, so they have to hold Bloodlines up on a pedestal in their delusion.
Must suck being a SEGA fanboy.
>>320876831
I played it for the first time in October and didn't care for it at all.
>The games aesthetic and ost were strange for the series, losing the classic horror and gothic vibe its peers had
>Most of its levels reminded me of Stage 4 from SCIV where they were more interested in being tech demos for what the Genesis was capable of rather than creating cohesive design
>the stage settings like the nazi factory fell flat for me
>Most stages also dragged on longer than they needed to
>Morris was actively not fun to play compared to Eric
>The bosses were pretty forgettable and the huge boss rush in the final stage was silly
It's not an awful game but I always felt like I was playing something rushed out so they could have a game out on the Genesis too, while Dracula's Curse, X68000, Rondo of Blood and Super Castlevania IV all felt like more complete and realized products.
was anyone else slightly disappointed with SotN when it first came out? It wasn't a bad game by all means. When I was a kid, my only experience with Castlevania was with 1 and 3, so I assumed SotN was going to be some kickass arcade platformer instead of a metroid-like adventure game. While I still enjoyed it, I kind of wish it was more difficult.

IGA ruined the series with SotN. If I had the choice of either Castlevania dying or becoming MetroidRPG, I'd choose the former.
