/vr/ - Retro Games

Bloodlines (on Expert) was the only good 5th gen Castlevania. Rondo has shit level design and too many unskippable cutscenes, IV is a boring slog where your whip is way too strong making any enemy encounters trivial and the sub-weapons unnecessary, Dracula X has retarded level designs that spam the same enemy too much (e.g. the purple spear dude), and X68000, whilst much better than IV, still lets you wiggle around during a jump which trivialises any of the platforming challenge.

Castlevania Bloodlines on expert mode kicked my ass. I think it just might be the hardest 16-bit CV when played on that mode. Also, that checkpoint right before the boss rush with Death is really bad.

No one's slick as John

Perfect, a pure paragon
