the gameplay may be terrible but its art style is unmatched

>>6947409
based. fuck snezz, fuck trashure, and fuck yanks.

>>6947409
only because igavanias don't count

Not even close. That would be sóytn, which is a terrible game on top of killing the franchise for good.

Castlekiddies everyone.

>>6947445
except for every other Castlevania game. Castle IV is visually bland and sterile

>>6947452
What's unironically so bad about sotn?

>>6947456
Not really. I grew up with Castlevania. The first three games are better than IV

Amiga sucks

>>6947460
It's popular and therefore bad

Ban castlevania threads

>>6947471
But it's the Halloween season

>>6947409
nobody talks about this one though always 1 3 and sotn get talked about

>>6947409
>>6947445
>Castlevania I is the hugely successful first entry. to the series which combines modern universal monsters with ancient myth and adventure gaming to make an amazing vidya that stands the test of time
>Castlevania II is over ambitious and introduces adventure, exploration and RPG elements which wouldn't return until SOTN
>Castlevania III introduces 3 new characters to allow you to play through the game 4 different ways
>Castlevania IV does none of these things, introduces nothing new...except has whip swinging and whip waggling...

Is Castlevania IV one of the least ambitious games ever made?

>>6947546
Caslevania IV is literally the last game in the series they put effort into until SoTN.

Literally the best classicvania.

Rondo and SOTN are more overrated

>>6947565
SOTN is underrated, most people don't realize it's perfect

>>6947573
The game it is aping (Super Metroid) is superior

>>6947554
How could you lie like that, on the internet?

>>6947595
It's a nice sprite but the level design is worse than every game that preceded it, except for the second game obviously.

>>6947597
>Rondo
>Bad level design
Gr8 b8 m8
8 out of 8

>>6947584
>SOTN isn't a good Castlevania game because I like a game from another series better.

>>6947597
Wrong. Branching paths added new exploration and replayability

Rondo and Bloodlines are garbage.

>>6947597
level design in Rondo is far superior than in Super Castlevania Bros 4

>>6947617
ok lowcow.

>>6947614
Weak bait from a nintendrone who is blinded by nostalgia for Castlevania IV

>>6947609
>>6947613
>>6947617
Bruh look at this dude.

>>6947621
>>6947617
take your meds.

>>6947623
That's a gauntlet, and it has two different bosses

>>6947628
>gauntlet
*straight line.

Gonna love me some falseflag SCV IV hate thread, you're guaranteed to get Auster out of his cave with one.
How can Simonchads keep winning so much? Forever rent free inside of his mind, until the day he dies.

>>6947626
>seething

I hope australia-kun gets doxxed.

>>6947634
yeah SCIV makes you seethe.

Castlevania Bloodlines has only six levels and this is one of them.

>>6947623
>>6947631
I like how you picked the two plainest levels. Now post a third....

>>6947661
Okay.

>>6947661
Rondo is great, so is IV. Australia-kun forever seething.

>>6947623
>>6947631
>>6947660
Now post the best designed level from IV...

>>6947565
IV, Rondo and Sotn form the holy trinity of overrated CV games.

>>6947676

>>6947689
ok auster

When does it become fun?

>>6947445
I think bloodlines looks much better. SC4 has arguably better gameplay, but visually it's pretty hideous for a snes game.

>>6947729
Bloodlines is great

>>6947729
The reverse is true. SC4 has better graphics but worse gameplay than Bloodlines.

Bloodlines suck.

>>6949119
X68k > Bloodlines > Rondo > Snezz Dracula X > Super Castlevania Bros.

>>6949149
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA
You will never be a real castlevania fan, auster.

>Finally play Rondo of Blood after years and years of it being hypes up as the best castlevania by a mile
>Great presentation, but someone of the flattest, dullest stage design in the series

I mean it's okay but fuck I'd still rather play 1 and 3

>>6949218
Rondo is more of a sidescrolling bmup than it is platformer, hence why it has such a large and dynamic roster of enemies and some of the hardest bosses of any Classicvania.

>>6947446
>fuck trashure
hello, based department?

>>6947446
>>6949595
samefag

Nah, that's SOTN. AoS is better.

>>6949252
Finally someone who understands

>>6949149
Decent ranking

>>6949149
Shit taste

Disliking any of the 16-bit Castlevania other than Dracula X is a disease.

>>6949953
>Disliking any of the 16-bit Castlevanias other than Super Castlevania IV is a disease.

FTW

>>6949964
obsessed

>>6949970
Go back and play it. It's shit.
I'm playing through the 8-bit and 16-bit Castlevania's for Halloween. IV sticks out as a mediocre sore thumb

>>6947546
This guy nailed it

>>6949980
you are not fooling anyone.

>>6949953
Based

>>6949953
>not liking Dracula X
Got filtered by Chadracula and his pitfall room, I take it.

Do you faggots even play the games?.

thank god none of the trashure hacks were allowed ot work on castlevania again after snoozer casualvania snore.

>>6950095
you are mentally ill.

6950095

>Every other Classicvania
>Progression through the castle and surrounding areas makes logical sense
>Rondo
>You nonsensically teleport all over the place. One minute you're in the castle dungeons and the next you've decided to fuck off to the nearby lake for some reason. and then you're suddenly in Shaft's sanctum in the heart of the castle?

>>6950069
Yes.

>>6947409
OH LOOK, ITS AUSTRALIA-KUN, HE'S BACK! AND HE HAS POGS!

>>6949595
You meant c.uc.ked/s.0.y department right.?

BEWARE THE WORDFILTER!

Best level design in the series by far. The only person to dislike it is severely mentally ill. I'm thinking it's great.

>>6947409
Pretty sure that's Rondo of Blood. Just because it's popular doesn't mean it's overrated, and the reverse is true as well.

I don't think I've ever seen a forced meme attempt backfire as much as australia-kun's anti-SCIV one. Pretty much the entire board is aware of him, to the point that, opposed to what Australia-kun initially wanted, people will now defend Castlevania IV from any criticism, just to piss him off, lol.

>>6947409
It's this

>>6947409
it was shit

>>6950834
All of OP's threads are shit, no surprise there.

>>6947445
call me crazy but i think its the otherway around, bloodlines has the best art direction but 4 has the better gameplay.

>>6950727
how many people even know about this one?
overrated?

>>6947468
What are the common complains though?

>>6947457
Naw anything from the 8 bit era is unplayable

>>6947409
Thank you OP! Good grief, even Dracula X had better gameplay than SCIV. And the music was like multiple files of fart noises compressed for each bgm.

>he still samefagging

>>6951002
>he still seething

>>6951015
everyone is laughing at you.

>>6951019
keep telling urself that lad.

>>6951096
ok lolcow

what's in a cv4? a miserable little pile of shitty game design, ugly graphics, and dull music.

>still obsessed

I can beat this one though.

>>6951637
This is why Nintendies love IV so much.
It's the shortbus version of a Castlevania game.

>>6952450
>implying you ever touched a castlevania game

>>6952665
I'm played through all of the Classicvanias

>>6954416
no you didn't, auster.

>>6954641
lol.

>>6947409
It's merely okay. No more, no less. Anyone who's played the other classicvanias will tell you it can be slept through til Drac's castle, has a Quake tier color palette and meandering, muffled soundfonts and compositions with some notable exceptions. It's only overrated by well adjusted normies who happened to play and enjoy it more than whatever 6 other shovelware games they had as a kid. I can't hold that against them. It's also not as bad as /vr/ tries to tell you every 3 days.

The truth is both SNES Castlevania games are kinda weak

>>6950581
That game at least has an amazing amount of charm, attention to detail, and some cool boss fights. CV4 is bland city til the last act.

>>6954641
>>6955038
Same schizofag

>>6956023
fuck off australia
>no I'm not australia!
if you really are not, then too bad. This board was spammed to death by australia for years, so be mad at him for ruining Castlevania IV criticism. People will now defend the game even more than needed (as if it needed defending, anyway, but whatever) just to piss him off.
