overrated as in "everyone pretends this is the best one just to be cool"? Rondo of Blood, for sure.
overrated as in "this game isn't actually as good as people say", none of them, they're all pretty awesome.

>I thought this series was supposed to be hardcore as fuck

The use of the word "hardcore" (or "casual") in gaming wasn't even implemented when Classicvanias were released back in the 80s/90s, so I don't know what you mean. It was never supposed to be anything, they're fun action games. If you're a tryhard that can't enjoy a game unless it's impossible without constant trial and error, then try Haunted Castle, the arcade Castlevania game. Play the US version without using save states.

If you care about image quality you use RGB and the color encoding becomes irrelevant. 50Hz is never acceptable.

Bloodlines = New Generation = Vampire Killer

It was only 7 levels with too many shitty autoscrolling segments in them (which don't really belong in CV), wretched background and sprite art for 1994 standards, and Morris' crystal item devastates every boss in the game. The only good thing about the game was Yamane's soundtrack, which unfortunately sounds terrible on the system's sound ship. Also, the Dracula fight was a fucking joke. Why Segafags trump up this Castlevania is beyond me. Hell, even Dracula X on SNES might be better than it.

[Anonymous No.2857383]

>>2857349
The levels in Dracula XX are almost immemorable, save for when the game decides to be challenging by ratcheting up the bullshit factor. The cheap placement of Spear Guards in long corridors and beneath stairs so you have to wait a long-ass time to make sure you don't take damage, a final stage that forces you to redo whole areas of a level should you miss one of the overly demanding jumps, an almost complete lack of branching paths save for ONE: these are some of the joys that await players in Dracula XX.

Also, don't know how you could claim the muddy backgrounds of XX could outdo the crisp detail of Rondo of Blood.

I'd say Super Castlevania IV is the most overrated one, personally. I thought it was decent at best, but everybody acts like it's the best Classicvania around. Honestly I thought even Dracula X was better (not by much though).

[Anonymous No.2857861]

>>2857843

Really, IV is actually kind of underrated at this point, you even have people claiming it's shit around here.
Same thing happened to SOTN, used to be the elder god tier of CV for the fandom for years, then people started dividing the classic from the igavanias, people saying how broken some of the weapons make the game, etc and now SOTN gets a lot of flak, more than it deserves as it is still a fine game.

Right now, the CV that's actually overrated is Rondo, most fans clain it's the best one (just see most replies ITT) yet the game is not perfect (no game is), it has questionable level design (pretty short, easy levels), gameplay mechanics that trivialize gameplay (item crash, Maria) and a subpar Dracula boss fight, as well as minor things such as having undetailed background (to the point even Castlevania III on NES has more detailed backgrounds than some of the levels of Rondo which are just plain brick walls).
Don't get me wrong, I fucking love Rondo, but if we're going to mention things like how IV makes subweapons useless because of the whip, or how SOTN is broken, then we should also mention how Rondo is pretty easy and also has mechanics that trivialize the gameplay a lot. That still doesn't mean IV, SOTN or Rondo are bad games, they're all pretty amazing.

But this is all pretty boring I guess, Castlevania threads are all about shitposting, e-celeb namedrop, and Sega vs Nintendo fanboy wars, right?

Oh come on, it was the exact same game as the japanese release except with a manlier main character and limited continues.

Also, most importantly, the game performed and looked the exact same as the japanese game. Can't say the same about The pal generation.

But it's not the same game, it's closer to Castlevania III in design than anything else.
But yeah I'd also recommend people to play Dracula X, it's a good game that's gotten a bad reputation for the wrong reasons in the west.
Also, the PSP remake is fine, not remarkably harder than the original, but stage 5' got redesigned and is now actually better on the remake (stage 5' on original Rondo was just reused assets from previous levels, a kind of lazy extra level), and the Dracula fight is actually challenging on the remake, so yeah.

I thought you said yanks pronounced Sega like "Say-gah", and australians pronounce it like "See-gah" (as can be seen here: >>2858047)

Both pronounciations are incorrect, Seh-gah is the correct, but anyway See-gah is hilarious.

No, Say-gah is right, because the e in Japanese is pronounced like ay, and SEGA is a Nip company.

If Sega was pronounced "See-Gah", it would be spelled "SIGA" in Romaji. Or if it if was pronounced "Sie-Gah", it'd be "SYGA".

It's common knowledge that セ is pronounced "say", not "see".

Why are you using a picture of the Clockwork Mansion on the IV picture? That level was cool (even if you think the rotating room was "gimmicky" or whatever argument you might present, that was just a short part of the whole level), but the Clockwork Mansion was a new level that wasn't on the original CV. You should have used stage 6, Castle Entrance, to compare.

Anyway, both IV and X68K are good games. So sad you're so pretentious that you need to hate on one of the most popular Castlevania games just to be edgy, bro.

rondo feels less stiff than most classicvanias but i mean its still stiff, maria on the other hand feels like shes from an entirely different game she just flies all over the screen with her double jumps and slides and shit compared to richter

[Anonymous No.2862251]

>>2862243
I was literally only able to beat the second and third stages of Dracula X Chronicles once I unlocked Maria. That's how pleb I am. BTW, what do I have to do to unlock SotN? I've heard the version on there is the definitive one, with all the Saturn version's content and none of the glitches.

[Anonymous No.2862259]

>>2862251
you just have to find a hidden item like when you unlock original rondo, as for it being the definitive version of SoTN, its debatable, its a pretty good version but the maria in the PSP version is actually based on rondo maria, where in the saturn version maria was more of like a martial artist and she just had item crash type magic based on her familiars from rondo, she was way more ridiculous in the saturn version cause she would just destroy all the bosses with little effort.

Still though the PSP version of maria in sotn isn't bad by any stretch, just not an exact replica of the saturn one.

Just use maria to actually unlock sotn though, I don't remember where the little icon thing is but its not that hard to find, its in one of the earlier stages I think

[Anonymous No.2862297]

>>2862259
I haven't unlocked original rondo either desu. Since the Saturn version has other differences, do you think it would be worth emulating? I've literally only played SotN once, and it was a tiny bit of the Playstation version years ago.

[Anonymous No.2862309]

>>2862297
yeah its probably worth emulating the saturn version, there's enough there to make that version worth a play either way.

The extra areas in the saturn version are pretty garbage, but they look so odd and out of place that its worth at least a single play to check em out, also karate maria is bretty fun.

Still its still feels kinda shoddy as far as ports go, and they replaced some of the items that had transparency effects cause the saturn was incapable of such an effect.

>they replaced some of the items that had transparency effects cause the saturn was incapable of such an effect.
the Saturn isn't incapable of transparency, it's just very tricky to do it and make it look right so most devs fell back on dithering.

there are a few games with pretty prominent transparency effects for the Saturn, though

[Anonymous No.2862318]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the PSP SotN has the extra dungeon areas that Saturn had, or the new enemies or weapons or music.
