It's the best in the series, people just need to get good, and I mean that as anyone complaining about the controls never took the time to learn all there is to learn about the game's mechanics. Dracula XX is the CV game that is the closest to CV1 in terms of game design, if you actually like CV1 instead of simply pretending to do so for "gamer creds", you should also like it.

nah, but it's close

Because people have been brought up into hiveminding that it's bad

Usually it is said that it is bad in the same sentence that "Rondo was better" implying
>I real video games because I cited a Turbografx-16 game

Same reason why Earthbound is a "cult classic" but in reverse.

I.E James Rolfe saying
>yeaah you can't even moonwalk in that one

In other words he didn't even play the game.

Most of the "flaws" people point out from DXX are actually the same design cues as what CV1 had, a game which they love because that one it's hip&cool to love.

One of the bests classic CVs. On the podium with 1 and 3.

The Japanese name of the Turbografx-16 game is
>Dracula X

The Japanese name of Super Famicom game is:
>Dracula XX

Fact: ports don't have different names.

in CV4, can you moonwalk outside of stairs and use that to bait medusa heads and bats into spawning on the wrong side of the screen?

Hmm, guess not.

>>6678274
And moonwalk that's actually useful

Bats and Medusa-Heads work pretty much the same.

In some scrolls, they spawn depending on what side of the screen you are, but in most scrolls, they spawn depending on what direction you're facing. Both are easily exploitable

Also note that medusa heads work just like bats.
I think they're much worse than bats, for instance the ones at the end of stage 3, the scroll with all the pits, and the last couple ones at the clock tower still get me from time to time and I know the entire game so well by this point I'm counting how few hits I take in a playthrough.

This game is actually easier and more fair than say, CV3 which has its many moments of bullshit, or Rondo which requires faster reflexes and which collapsing bridge alone is worse than anything in this game.

>he doesn't know about moonwalking to prevent bats/medusas to spawn on your path
