There are a couple of things where the cross, or the knife (webm related) are superior but yeah you're better off sticking to the axe for 90% of the game

Meanwhile the best ending route leads to the best bossfight in the game

Also, the concept of multipath in DXX is different than in CV3 or Rondo.

In these games, every path is equal. In DXX, the point is that you have to not only get good, but figure shit out, and learning the game well enough leads to the second path which is the reward in itself. It's a different way to handle multipaths, and frankly the way Rondo handles those is really terrible in many cases.

So in reality, you're not really skipping any concent since there is no way anyone is going to get the best ending route without having done the bad ending routes first. Not that you couldn't make the same argument about "skipping content" regarding the multipaths in 3 or Rondo

and by I agree I mean I disagree. Drac X is better.

How does the fact that a game is so badly designed it has dead man walking scenarios and empty space around spikes that kill the player, have anything to do with skill?

I'm talking about game design principals and your answer is "lol get good" but with more words. Sounds like you ran out of arguments.

For the record I don't need to get good. I'm the same person who can beat Bloodlines and Dracula X while only getting 1-2 times through the entire game.
One doesn't even need to "get good" in CV4, it's the easiest in the series. They added tons of moves for Simons but all the enemies still behave like you're stuck in the bodies of CV1 and CV3 characters, which is what leads to the easy gameplay.

It's my favourite. I was attempting "no dmg runs" a while back, both on the good and bad ending paths; best I got was taking 2 hits through the entire game

I also attempted the same thing in Bloodlines and again, best I got was 2-3hits throughout the entire game. You'd think Bloodlines would be easier but no, in reality XX is a lot more "mathematical", when you know what to do at each precise moment nothing can go wrong.

It's better than IV but not better than X

Hi fellow DX lover

One of my favourite CV

it's one of my favourite CV games. very underappreciated.

>>6509486
I knew someone would say that.

I just have a love boner for DX but it's also the most underrated CV game, though the X68K version isn't far off.

Dracula X is one of the best Castlavanias and Super Castlevania IV is overrated, feels to me the only reason it's considered the best by popular opinion is just like for Mega Man 2, since in both you can trivialize most of the game easily so it makes bad players feel like they got good

I stopped being retarded with webm conversion so here is a better Death fight, entire fight too.
