Same reason shump and betemup thread are. Certain people are such poorfuck faggots that they are able to infect thread with AIIIIIDS.
A few of them have all but admitted they were molested by fans of jrpgs growing up so they hate games with those elements. Or some of them have nothing to show for in life but a bunch of high scores in a pastebin.

All manner of defects, mental and emotional can lead an individual to be incapable of having any kind of chill.

Of the 16bit ones I've played:
Bloodlines> Drac X > IV

Before you delete my post janny just know... that I fully admit bias with bloodlines since that was the only one if the 4 I grew up playing and even tho I listed IV last I still think it's a fantastic game

this honestly was my favorite period of castlevaina. i couldn't get into the 8-bit games that much and i think metroidvanias are boring.

CV 4 is my favorite but i can get why people wouldn't like it.

rondo/dracula X was probably one of my easier experiences with the franchise since i just got holy water and hoarded hearts to spam rain at boss fights + maria turned it into contra

bloodlines is probably the hardest CV game i played.

Why the fuck Konami thinks this is a remake of the original Castlevania?

Every Castle level and bosses are different, music is not the same and Dracula doesn't even has his demon form. Like Chronicles, it's only a retelling and not a remake of the original Castlevania.

If the level design for the castle levels were the same I would have accepted it as a full blown remake.

>>	Anonymous Tue Sep 18 15:16:50 2018 No.5051068 >>5050980 Did Konami ever really say it's a "remake"? It's just called "Akumajou Dracula", but Chronicles (X68k) is also called Akumajou Dracula, and so is the arcade game (known as Haunted Castle).

>The raft sections on Rondo
That raft part is optional, only lasts 40 seconds, you have to kill skeletons or they knock you off the raft and time a jump quickly at the end or you fall into a pit.
>chronicles
Have to constantly be on guard because the RNG mermen can hit and knock you into water, killing you. Also lasts 45 seconds before you're taken to the boss.

Nice try though, IV apologist.

you don't really have to do anything on those, though.Just duck and wait or randomly whip if you want, that's it.
In the Rondo raft you really don't even need to do anything, the skeletons on the other rafts almost never touch you. But anyway if you just mash the attack button, that's it. No timing or strategy required, it's completely shallow.

What makes anti-4 guys lose credit is that when you point out similar "flaws" in other games, they deny it, or try to make it as not big of a deal, but if it's on 4, it's the worst shit ever.

I just replayed the game recently and realized what causes lag in that section is when you kill the skeletons, the bones scatter all over the screen and that causes it. Devs should have ommited the bones exploding effect at least just for that section. I just walked and jumped over the skelletons instead of whipping them, and it went smooth. Sometimes there's a tiny bit of lag when the skellies jump from the background, but it's minimal compared to the lag that causes the bone explosion.

Huh, Rondo still has both, I just played it not too long ago.

Granted they're still as useless as before so I don't remember all the locations.

The rosary shows up in Stage 7 just before you clear the starting segment with the falling bridge and the bats, it's mean to kill off any remaining bats still chasing you I guess.

I think the invincibility potion shows up either at the beginning of Stage 5' or near the end of Stage 7 where the sword armors and skelly dogs are.

The rosary has at least 2 or 3 more locations, maybe more, so it's somewhat common, about same as the older games, really. The potion is a lot more rare.
