Yes, this is James and Mike mondays alright.

>I don't like the Hit Detection.
>There's something a little off about it
>It's not that fun to hit things

To be fair this is basically the same argument /vr/ makes in most CV threads when an anon wants to bash one castlevania game in favor of another.

>We've been spoiled, kek

I kinda wish SJW's reinterpreted James and Mike's SNES fanboyism as white privilege at this point.

>Cut all gameplay off for a dumb cat story.

That's more interesting than the game LOL

>It's the Rocky III of Castlevania games
>This is the point in the series where it got ridiculous.

This is what happens when you live the console war lifestyle a little too hard as a kid, readers at home.

>"Taste the sweat..." LOL GAY

Actually pretty funny.

it's just their natural bias, and I can understand them because I happen to think Bloodlines is the better game, except I understand that I see it with different eyes because I grew up with it and did not play Castlevania IV because I did not have a SNES until I discovered emulation in 2002-2003.

I did grow up with an NES and I played and loved all 3 of the first castlevanias, yes even 2 (I loved the exploration)

I happen to think Castlevania Bloodlines is better than IV because the controls are less stiff, Eric Lacarde gives you a whole other character to play as with different paths, and Bloodlines in general has such awesome imagery like the fountain that turns blood red.. also look at that fucking title screen.

When I played CV4 I found it to be slower, with less diversity (only 1 character) and the gore was more toned down.

I recognize CV4 is a good game but I think Bloodlines is the best.

They have this weird fetish for not figuring out how to get good at most of the shit they play.

I think they do... Maybe they don't and it just felt that way because they respawn after going through a door and the room before mother brain's room and the vertical one before that are loaded with them to the point it goes pretty fast to kill them anyway.

What I definitely remember is that I played Metroid like a week before they did their playthrough of it and experienced that same "oh fuck, I died at Mother Brain and now I have 30 energy", except I got to thinking there was no way they'd just fuck you over like that and went down a blew up a few metroids to see how the drops were, and lo and behold they all drop a max energy ball or or a max missile drop.

I mean kudos to them that they edit their videos so I don't have to watch them drudge through every stupid part of a game. I don't expect them to know all the arcane shit you can do, like getting the Varia suit before the Space Jump using bombs, but sometimes they just assume dumb shit.

Also, hi Mike, I know you're reading this. Do more co-op shit with your girlfriend.

James is a CV4 absolute fanboy. You could make a Castlevania game that is literally perfect and he'd probably still prefer CV4.

Bloodlines is alright, but I understand where they're coming from. You go from multidirectional whipping in all directions to Bloodlines funky whipping. Bloodlines is -way- better with Eric and its a shame they didn't try him out.

I don't see why people like IV. The gameplay is slow, the music is slow, the levels are tedious, there are no multiple paths or characters, the platforming is awkward, Simon's movement is stiff, and the game is just too easy. I think it's just more popular with nostalgic Americans.

Lots of things to discuss. But the Castlevania fandom SUCKS.

There's a lot of interesting things to discuss about the series, it sure would be nice to compare the games without having to go full hyperbole calling your favorite BEST and the ones that aren't your favorite/on the system from the company you hate "shit".

I'd also risk saying most of Castlevania "fans" don't even know who the Castlevania creator is. They know IGA and that's it.

We could have good threads, but no, it all comes down to "BEST and WORST" hyperbole bullshit.
Castlevania threads are on the same level as Final Fantasy in terms of shitposting and horrible fanbase.

you're one cute little contrarian, but your opinion will never be accepted as popular.

IV is a good game.

You can cry and complain about "slow!!!" or "awkward/stiff!!!" all you want, it just shows how little you know about Castlevania, especially the classic titles.

Nobody really cares if you don't like IV, you're entitled to liking whatever you like. It's cute how you still could never come up with any actual criticism other than "it's shit!" or "it's slow/too easy!" when those arguments are already stale. Castlevania was never a game about going fast, and IV's later levels are harder than anything in Bloodlines or Rondo. Also difficulty doesn't determines whether a game is good or not, Rondo is probably the easiest of the classic titles, and it's still considered one of the best, and for good reason.

So, cry all you want, IV will never be considered bad by general consensus. And to be honest, neither will Bloodlines, both are great games.

The only of the classic games that gets a lot of flak (more than it deserves IMO) is Simon's Quest.
Being a Simon's Quest fanboy is the ultimate hipster thing, everyone shits on it.

It sacrificed speed for a bit better graphic and sound quality over the Genesis.

So you get games that might not look or sound as good on the Genesis but play better. That's not 100% true for all titles though because you had some poorly done Genesis ports, but as a general rule SNES ran games more poorly.

SNES did many kinds of games really well, though, and looked great doing it. It's just that certain games you really wanted a Genesis for. I had both back then, tons of games for both, and loved it.

I'm not murrican and IV is one of my favorites (only surpassed by III on my list).

The other games are even stiffer than IV, in IV you can control Simon mid-air, if anything, IV is slightly less stiff than in most other classic games.

As I said in the post you replied to, which you obviously didn't read, the stiff control of Simon is exacerbated by controlling him in mid-air, as the stiffness doesn't refer to not being able to move in mid air. I don't see how you could think that.
Nintendo was never and has never been popular in Europe, so we don't get nostalgic for your shit games.

Castlevania IV is not a "Nintendo game"; it's by Konami.

Stop being a stupid console warrior.

Also your explanation as to why you think Simon is "stiff" on IV doesn't make sense. Stop trying, you can't really explain why you don't like IV without just calling it "shit" or buzzwording with "it's slow/stiff!".

Just be honest, say you never gave IV a fair chance because you hate Nintendo, and be done with it.

Not him but I found the controls in Castlevania 4 to be kinda unpleasant as well. Wouldn't describe them as "stiff", but it didn't feel like Simon had a presence in the world. Was just kind of floating from place to place in a loose manner. The jump's especially awkward.

You do know it's on a Nintendo console, right? No one owned those things. It is a stiff game. Compare it to New Generation, Rondo or Chronicles, IV feels like a rusty gear shift in comparison. Maybe it's a Snes thing, because Vampire's Kiss also controls poorly.

Whilst you're obviously arguing with a 15 year old from /v/, MD games really weren't that well optimised for the most part. The Saturn and the Playstation was when the tide started to really turn and we got a lot more Japanese games at correct speed.

50HZ wasn't a huge deal though obviously, as European computers were the majority of the games market and they obviously ran as intended.

The speed difference, if there is one, is negligible, and the borders don't take away from the game at all, they're not even noticeable.

You see, if a game was unoptimised for PAL it will be the same thing Americans got, it will run slower on our consoles. The modification will fix this. If a game was optimised for PAL it will run too quickly at 60hz. So importing American games is basically useless. You could import Mega Man for Mega Drive from Europe, but I can't see any American exclusive games many MD players would want. I import Saturn games from Japan because they were never released here.

Unpopular opinion time:
I actually think Rondo of Blood is a bit overrated, while Dracula X is severely underrated.

But all in all, they're all good games, whether or not you like one or other more is mostly subjective stuff.

People will cling to IV and Bloodlines the most because they're like the representative Castlevania for both Nintendo and Sega, people use those games as ammo for their childish console wars.
Rondo of Blood is like the "hip" choice, game that was left in Japan for so long, etc.
It's a good neutral game for console warriors since westerners aren't too familiar with the TG-16/PCE, but I think it's not the best Castlevania, it's on my personal top 3 though.

They're all good games, but people pretending that one of them is the BEST EVER and that the others are shit/overrated are just being obnoxious fanboys.

What I don't like about SCIV is that it's not On/Off when it comes to whipping. I like Castlevania and also Ghouls and Ghosts because all inputs are atomic, you're either jumping or not, you're either whipping or not, there is no in between and every action must be planned.

In SCIV they give you the bullshit whip jangle thing that comes out if you hold the button too long, and does like half damage compared to the regular whip. Also you can kind of steer Simon's jumps, but its so heavy and ineffective I question why they made that a feature at all. Half the challenge of Classicvania is that all movement has a purpose and you can't just go in Whips a Blazing.

I dunno, I personally never had a trouble with IV's controls, but I mean, it's okay, everyone has their opinions. I've read people saying that Bloodlines feels like a "generic action game with the castlevania game on it", and I honestly don't get it. Bloodlines is amazing, as is IV.

All Castlevania games added new gameplay elements after 1.
The only true cvlt hardc0re castlevania experience is Castlevania 1, and arguably Haunted Castle if you REALLY want to go hardcore (especially the US arcade release with only 3 lives and no continues).

Castlevania III added new characters which controlled differently, Rondo included item crash and backflip (and Maria).

If we really are going to get "this is not like my castlevania", then the only true Castlevania is the first.

I think Mike knows a lot. I mean we're looking at 30+ years here over probably 20+ consoles, no one's gonna be an expert at all that. But if you watch his video where he shows his TV hookups he's got like 15 systems plugged into one TV and he's got the library to play them so I think he knows more than most on them. He's got a lot of foreign stuff and digs into romhacks often too. I think the issue is he's got so much stuff he never sits down with any one game long enough to really master it, which is why he can be frustrating to watch at Rondo of Blood when neither of them could backflip over the axe armor.

Mike seems like the coolest guy that you don't always want hanging around. I can't really articulate it that well, he knows his shit but gets so annoying any time a game gets hard. James is laid back most of the time and gets focused when he gets frustrated but Mike just starts making excuses and complains.

Sometimes I wish it was James and Kyle Mondays.

Actual OP here(that faggot trying to be me can die in hell), I know what he meant, it's just funnier to quote his off the cuff retarded reaction.

IV has the best fight tho, I love how stupidly violent it gets. Like, even in the 80's that fight gets called off 5 times over with all the shit that happens. I also find the training sequence to be hilarious. Drago is injecting nanomachines and deadlifting cement trucks while Rocky is fucking around cutting wood and almost getting hypothermia every fucking day he's there in the mountains. It really stung in the later movies that all that damage he took ended up all for naught fucking paulie mismanaged the money

The direction I wanted this thread to take was for /Classicvania/ to band together to shit on these two retards, but we all just went to our old habits of shitposting each other to death. We truly are /vr/'s greatest mistake.

Anyone who says either game is "shit" is a retard. They're both fine games with their own merits. Any Castlevania fan can enjoy both.

It doesn't matter that much anyway, they're all amazing. It's kind of like Mario 3 vs SMW, it doesn't matter that much which one is considered the "best" because they're both winners in the end.

I honestly don't know how people thought the Genesis had the better library. It was a damn fine system, don't get me wrong, but the Super Nintendo just had hit after hit in all the different genras for so many years. When comparing the two libraries the Genesis eventually falls short while the SNES just keeps going.

Not even to mention the fact that the SNES had the best multiplats 95% of the time, and had overall better hardware.

That is not true.
Europeans were the continent less interested in action games, and the continent in which arcade machines were less popular.
The "mature" games europeans prefered and prefer in comparison to the rest of the world were strategy, point and click and simulators for pc.

The Super Nintendo and Genesis sold pretty much the same in Europe, slightly over 8 million units, the market was very divided between them, normal pcs and the Amiga.

The Playstation was the first extremely popular console in Europe, as dominant as the NES in USA or Japan.

Most video games are for kids, anon.
In reality, Nintendo has always made games for everyone. It's true Mario games are cheerful and cute, but they're universal enough that people of all ages can enjoy them. I remember playing Mario as a kid and lots of older people got hooked, family membes, friend's older brothers, etc.

Same with Mega Drive. If you think blood and gore means something is "not for kids", then I think you had very strict christian parents or something. I was really into Mortal Kombat as a kid because of the BLOOD AND GORE, I loved that shit as a 10 year old. Nowdays I look at it as a more comedy thing.

The only actual "kids only" games are edutainment games. And the only actual "adults only" games... I don't think there exist actual "adults only" games, as in, games that ONLY an adult would enjoy, but I guess all that spreeadsheet simulation stuff could be enjoyed more by adults than kids, unless the kid is severely autistic.

Anything else is for everyone. Sega also had a lot of kiddy stuff (Fantasy Zone, all the Disney games, which are all great by the way!). The reason you perceive nintendo as kiddy and sega as adult is because you ate up all the marketing stuff, you've been meme'd.

The sprites on Axelay look way more detailed than that Darius ship.
Although obviously Darius has better animations.

Also I didn't say Axelay looks better than 32-bit stuff, I said it looks better than many 32-bit stuff. Key word is "many".
Mostly because 32bit used a lot of polygon graphics even in sidescrolling games.

In a way James is the definition of a Nintendo fan.

He says he loves Nintendo, but what he really loves is his childhood and is afraid to move past it completely. He doesn't care about the games themselves what he cares about is his bygone Saturday mornings, sugary cereals and cartoons designed to sell action figures.

I was in that thread where we talked about TiT and HH

Yes both games are derived from a mediocre game. TiT must have been fucking amazing if you were into TMNT super hard as kid because the presentation of the ARC version is insanely good.

It's all about the sub weapons. The flame annihilates bosses like it's nothing. The electricity can be used to trivialize tricky sections like the long stair climb with the bone pillars in the tower.

I will never understand the unquestioned love for Castlevania IV, which apparently is their favorite. I prefer III and Rondo.

I watched their playthrough of it, and at every boss fight they were just mashing the whipping button, and yet they still beat most bosses with that strategy.

Do people just like how easy it is?

I'm actually playing CV IV right now for the first time.

It's not a bad game but I definitely don't like it as much s III (which I just played for the first time yesterday). The whip is OP, I almost never use my subweapons, your sprite is too big, and the game is VERY sporadic with its difficulty and checkpoints. I just spent an hour on the first section of the level because it went a super long time with a ton of instant death hazards and no checkpoints between any of them, then the rest of the level was a breeze and the boss couldn't touch me because I was stunning him with my whip and destroying his projectiles before they got anyone near me just from the trajectory of my whip. There's also been a level that took a really long time, and the first two thirds were really easy to the point of almost being boring, then suddenly you get to the last third of the level and the difficulty spikes and tiny enemies attack you in multiples to push you off cliffs in vertical segments.

It's still a pretty good game despite that, and there are some levels I loved that challenged me without being bullshit, but I'm not feeling the love and care put into I or III level design-wise.

If it's the first time you're playing it, you may find the sheer novelty of it enjoyable. For me, every time I play it, it gets worse. I can't help but think it's a bad game. I just don't enjoy it. I find it hard to believe it was made by the same people who made Castlevania III.

It could be novelty I guess. There are stretches where I'm not having fun, but then I start again, so who knows, maybe I'll have to replay it after I've done all the Classicvania entries in the series to reconsider it.

Also how the fuck do I climb this? I know to hold up to start climbing but I mean this specific stair, when I jump on it I hang for a quarter of a section before I start moving and the stair destroys itself and I fall to my death, nine times out of ten. None of the later stairs in this section are giving me this issue, just this specific one in this screenshot.

Play it, idiot.

This is why we can't discuss videogames in this day and age, people just base their opinions based on e-celeb's opinions, and people are hating IV because disliking what popular e-celebs like means that you have a somewhat more "·obscure" taste or something, fucking hipsters.

Newflash: Bloodlines and Rondo are also easy as shit. The later levels of IV are harder than anything on Bloodlines and Rondo.

If you only care about the games being hard, don't play any of the 16 bit Castlevanias, only play 1 and 3, and if you want to be truly hardcore, only play Haunted Castle, and call all the rest casual garbage, that way you will earn more retro hipster hardcore cred.

It's really incredible. I mean, I get that Nintendo (of America) also went full retard a lot of times, and they kinda forced their "family-oriented" image, but all in all, all video games, ESPECIALLY consoles, are mostly aimed at children.

Whenever I see, in fucking 2015, that people use the Mortal Kombat with blood example as of why Sega was more mature than Nintendo, I cringe like fuck.

Sega had fucking Disney-licensed games. And they were great, too. But people will still call Sega more mature than Nintendo because SEGA DOES WHAT NINTENDONTTTTTTTT

idorts are the only ones who should be allowed to discuss videogames online. It should be required that you show proof that you not only owned, but also played many different systems during your childhood to be able to have opinions.

People who only owned a sega, a nintendo or a PC as kids, then emulated a bit on toasters or smartphones, and then go online and voice their fanboy opinions are the worst. Should be turned into soap.

Have you tried playing IV's 2nd loop? It actually adds more enemies on screen, and they have more HP.

It's still not as hard as CV1 or Haunted Castle, but if you really care that much about more enemis on screen, then it might be your thing.

So you've good a cocktail recipe for hipster hate:
People who hate popular things will hate on IV.

They probably don't spend a lot of time at it, except to make videos. They were selected (by the audience) for being entertaining (by the standards of that audience), not for being knowledgeable.

Yeah it's the same thing as with Penny Arcade. I've heard it about Game Grumps too, though I don't watch that myself. These guys all move from game to game pretty quickly. They may be deeply invested in the practice of gaming in some sense, but they rarely bother to become deeply invested in any particular games. The product of the gaming industry, regardless of what era the games are taken from, is just a vast buffet to them. They sample one thing; then they sample another. They're too focused on games to be "casual gamers" on the level of somebody's aunt who likes only Candy Crush, but by the standards of players with real skill or deep critical appreciation, they are quite casual. And their first interest usually seems to be the continuation of their e-celebrity, which is understandable since it seems like a fun job for the few people who luck into getting it.

nice projection, anon, nice projection.

The reason people don't fuck with 1 or 3 is because those are universally considered as "hard", as with many NES games, and because people know arguing NES vs Master System won't bring much butthurt (at least on Nintendo fans' part), and Master System didn't even got a Castlevania, so there's not much material you can work with regarding the NES 'vanias, if you hate on the NES 'vanias you risk your online anonymous reputation and people will know you're just an underage poser.

No, what you're saying is a meme.

Bloodlines and Rondo could also be considered a downgrade (in terms of difficulty) compared to the NES ones.

Get over it. Rondo, IV and Bloodlines are all good games.
No matter how hard you try, the "IV is bad because it's easy and AVGN likes it" meme is never going to catch up, it's 20 years too late.

Was Bloodlines rushed?
The four bosses dumped into the final level, one of which being a lengthy boss rush and another being Death who usually gets his own stage, alongside Dracula having three forms on his own, is giving me the impression that they had to cut one or two stages.

It could have used some too because there's surprisingly few compared to other games in the series.

Are you really gonna make the case that Dracula X on the SNES is better than the original Rondo Of Blood? With its butchered mechanics, tedious level design and terrible hitboxes? Really?

It's fine if you like it, but I don't see how anyone could prefer it over Rondo, unless they were nostalgic for it.

I don't see IV fans being sensitive, I just see a lot of people baiting by calling IV bad because subjective, erroneous arguments such as "it's too easy!", so don't expect people not to call out on your bullshit. If you don't like people calling you out ony our faggotry, don't be a faggot.

>No.

Yes. Anyway none of the 16 bit Castlevania are hard, so it's pointless. If you genuinely think Rondo or Bloodlines are hard, then... I dunno, your opinion man.

>Are you really gonna make the case that Dracula X on the SNES is better than the original Rondo Of Blood?

He never said Dracula X is better than Rondo or viceversa. Both games are different, we've been through this in every Castlevania thread made on /vr/ in the past year already. If you call Dracula X a "bad rondo port", you're memeing, simple as that.

>butchered mechanics

you're getting really desperate. What mechanics are "butchered"?

You didn't like vertical levels? I guess you don't like Castlevania III either, then :)

If your response to someone criticizing a game is calling them a faggot, you look kinda butthurt.

>Yes. Anyway none of the 16 bit Castlevania are hard, so it's pointless. If you genuinely think Rondo or Bloodlines are hard, then... I dunno, your opinion man.

Never played Bloodlines. Rondo isn't hard, but IV is still easier. IV is one of the easiest games I've ever played. It's up there with Bioshock.

>He never said Dracula X is better than Rondo or viceversa. Both games are different, we've been through this in every Castlevania thread made on /vr/ in the past year already. If you call Dracula X a "bad rondo port", you're memeing, simple as that.

I said it was inferior to RoB, he obviously objected to that, ergo it's either on par with or better than RoB, which I think is baffling.

>you're getting really desperate. What mechanics are "butchered"?

The walking speed is abysmal, the flip is rendered useless, the knife hits as hard as the whip.

>You didn't like vertical levels? I guess you don't like Castlevania III either, then

Castlevania III had a degree of challenge to their vertical sections, where careful timing was essential to success. DX's vertical sections are never challenging, and they just drag on forever, just mindlessly ascending levels of flat platforms. It's the bare minimum of level design.

Now this is being a faggot.

The hitboxes in DX are terrible. Try fighting Death and do a flip over a sickle, and you'll see what I mean.

That's not my response to someone criticizing a game. IV doesn't get criticism, it just gets subjective opinions that most of the time are exaggerated hyperbolic stuff. "IV is not hard as balls, therefore it SUCKS! people who like IV are casual babbies!", etc, etc.

In my opinion, Rondo is easier than IV. What are you going to do about my own subjective opinion? The difference is I don't go around calling Rondo "babby's first classicvania", even if I think it is.

>I said it was inferior to RoB, he obviously objected to that, ergo it's either on par with or better than RoB, which I think is baffling.

He didn't object at you calling it "inferior" to Rondo. Nobody cares what you, personally, think. The problem is that you still claim DX is a "port" of Rondo, when they're 2 different games. It seems you have played it (or at least watched a full LP), so I don't get how you still think DX is a port. Might as well say SOTN is a Rondo port.

Most criticism is subjective. Getting hung up over what's subjective or not is redundant.

Nothing.

I wouldn't mind if you did. I would disagree, but I wouldn't be offended.

I don't see how you can possibly think IV is harder than Rondo. 90% of the bosses in IV can be beaten by spamming the whip. Try beating any boss in Rondo with that tactic. It can't be done.

>Nobody cares what you, personally, think.

Yeah right. If no one cared, people wouldn't be so assblasted when I speak my mind about a game they like. If you didn't care, you wouldn't even bother replying to me.

I never said it was a port, I said it was a remake, which it unquestionably is. Same story, same controls, same graphics (sorta), same soundtrack, and same enemies.

Yeah, you can just ITEM CRASH and be done with most of them.

Also, Castlevania is more than just the bosses, you know?

But if we talk about bosses, what do you think about Rondo's Dracula fight?

>If you didn't care, you wouldn't even bother replying to me.

Nobody cares, this thread is Castlevania shitposting central. The reason I'm posting here is because I'm willing to see how far Castlevania shitposting can go, as a sort of experiment.

>I never said it was a port, I said it was a remake

It's neither a port or a remake. The VC version of Rondo of Blood is a port. The PSP "Dracula X Chronicles" game is a remake.
Dracula X is its own game, it uses the setting and story of Rondo, but it's heavily different from the get go. On the very first level there's medusa heads already, and the whole level (save for the very first part) is different. Even the first boss on DX is nowhere to be seen on Rondo.

No, you can't. Rondo is a lot more stingy with hearts compared to earlier entries. It's a lifeline, but you can't rely on it.

>Also, Castlevania is more than just the bosses, you know?

Sure, but bosses should be difficulty spikes. Also, name me one thing in IV which is challenging that isn't an instant death trap.

>But if we talk about bosses, what do you think about Rondo's Dracula fight?

Okay, I do agree that Dracula, while having fantastic presentation, is a pretty damn easy final boss. However, right before him you fight Shaft's ghost, which is easily harder than anything in IV.

>Nobody cares, this thread is Castlevania shitposting central. The reason I'm posting here is because I'm willing to see how far Castlevania shitposting can go, as a sort of experiment.

You can't do that. You can't participate in a discussion, and then just turn around and say that you're just shitposting. Once you do that, you're pretty much forfeiting the argument.

It's a remake. It doesn't have to be a screen for screen remake to count as a remake.

Are you gonna make the case that The Ring isn't a remake of Ringu, just because it isn't screen for screen accurate?

You can, even more if using Maria (in fact if using maria, just spam the dragon).
Also bosses in Rondo aren't even as hard as you make them out to be, most of them are dead AI. The only ones I can think that are somewhat fun to fight are werewolf, minotaur... not much else. The rest can also be killed by spamming whip.

>Also, name me one thing in IV which is challenging that isn't an instant death trap.

What's challenging and what's not depends on the player.

I don't find anything on Rondo particularly challenging.

but I guess Slogra, since you like bosses.

>However, right before him you fight Shaft's ghost, which is easily harder than anything in IV.

I don't remember dying at Shaft's ghost, ever.

>It's a remake. It doesn't have to be a screen for screen remake to count as a remake.

Dracula X is not a Rondo remake. I'm surprised you still think it is given you, apparently, have played it.

I'd be fine with calling it a "remix", but it isn't exactly a remix either, since it has original content not found in Rondo (again, the first boss, Cerberos, is nowhere to be seen in Rondo, most of the levels except the first one are new, and the first level is completely different from the Rondo level).

I'm the anon who played III and IV for the first time this week, just rating the games I've played.

CV1: 9.0
CV2: 3.0 (though I quit like halfway through, just pointing that out in case this invalidates my opinion for anyone)
CV3: 10.0 (not that it's a perfect game, just using 10.0 as the "best" and the rest being measured relative to that)
CV4: 7.0

1 is good but short and had the best bosses, 2 has a ton of issues that I don't think I need to discuss, 3 is great, the multiple characters feel great, a ton of levels, the bosses are easy but it's the best so far. 4's good but it doesn't feel that Castlevania-y due to how great and free the whip is, the bosses are even easier (holy shit Dracula did you just wake up from your nap and were still tired? You were a pushover) and some of the levels just felt "loose" for lack of a better term compared to 1 and 3. There were definitely some really good levels though. The thread will probably 404 before I play and finish Rondo, which is probably for the best considering this thread has been absolute garbage. I hope the next Castlevania thread isn't nearly this bad.
