But it's one of the most popular ones and always have been, both with the general video game public, and with the Castlevania fans.
Only "hate" it got was when some e-celeb made a video nit-picking stuff about it and trying to be smartass about game design, even though it was later revealed that he's shit at the game and could never finish it, so what was left were just his zoomer fans parroting his objectively wrong opinions. And even then, I don't think he ever said it was a bad game or that he hated it.

Rondo deserves more hate. It took even more liberties with CV than IV did, yet nobody seems to bat an eye and most love the game.

[Anonymous No.5692507]

>>5692504
It doesn't deserve any hate, neither does IV, but that's true. A lot of people love to point out how different IV is due to the whip, while being silent about all the more radical changes in games like Rondo or Bloodlines.

[Anonymous No.5692515]

Is the IV autist the same guy trying to force Rondo hate?

I guess it has to take an e-celeb to shit on Rondo for these anti-IV zoomers to finally wake up and realize RoB is one of the worst Classicvanias in the series.

[Anonymous No.5692541]

>>5692524
yeah but you can still turn in mid air, it's not exactly like CV1. Also, Bloodlines has a very, let's say, generous land hit detection, where you need less calculated jumps in order to reach a platform. Rondo and IV might have air control, but the land detection is way more polished and on par with CV1.
Not to mention Bloodlines kept the whole jump while on stairs change. And the whip upgrade in Bloodlines comes with the blue orb which is more OP than Rondo's bible.

Are you trying to gaslight? Literally everywhere IV is one of the most acclaimed. I frequented the CV Dungeon forums in the early 00s and it was always one of the most popular ones.
I get that you hate the game, but you should come to terms that your opinion of it is just contrarian. Nothing wrong about that, as long as you're not deranged enough to think the rest of the world shares your view.

Probably because BL's hitboxes are just fucky in general. That game needed better programmers.

>And the whip upgrade in Bloodlines comes with the blue orb which is more OP than Rondo's bible.
At least you lose it after taking one hit, unlike the Bible, where you keep it until you die.

Also, my point was you can do no-whip-upgrade runs with BL, unlike Richter's games, which start you with a strong whip.

No, Rondo is also good, and the SNES game is different from Rondo, and good in its own right too.

[Anonymous No.5692584]

Rondo and IV have the best spritework in general.
X68K has some nice setpieces, but looks rather dry most of the time. Bloodlines has some good effects (most people overrate the atlantis water effect, I think that one is rather poor, but I love the window reflection effects on the walls in Versailles' level), but spritework is meh, I dislike that most bosses are just random spheres put together.

Bloodlines has my favorite sprite work, through Rondo looks better in some places too. CIV ironically is the one I think looks dirty, which the X68000 remake does too in some sport, but in general I think it looks pretty nice.

Off the top of my head, the boss in the Atlantis level, the boss in the Pisa level, the first mid-boss in the first level, when he howls and breaks the glasses, etc.

Sure but if I wanted a Capcom game I wouldn't be wasting my time with disney licensed crap. With Aladdin on Genesis you have a technical showpiece, where as with Aladdin on SNES you just have another throwaway licensed game, even if it is made by Capcom.

[Anonymous No.5692637]

>>5692628
I've played Bloodlines many times and clearly remember that every time I fought these bosses, there was slowdown. In the Pisa boss, it's when he starts bouncing on the floor.
As for IV, I don't remember a lot of slowdowns in boss fights, I remember the 2-headed dragon in level 3, and the mid-boss of stage 4 having slowdown, but not the rest.

It's there, it's just not as bad as the SNES Aladdin Snake fight that anon was talking about. It's very brief and honestly, only console warriors would even bother to take note and complain about it.

>>5692636
As impressive as the sprite animations are on Virgin's game, the rest of the game is nothing to write home about. Capcom's sprites might not be digitalized cartoons from disney animators, but they have more shading detail, and backgrounds are just a lot more detailed, with more depth.
I'd say, with Virgin Aladdin, you just have a technical showpiece (for the time) and nothing else, while on the Capcom game you have a pretty charming early 90s Capcom platformer. Also, the fact you're implying a Capcom disney game is "crap" shows you probably weren't even alive back then. Capcom made some of the best Disney games, along with Sega. Aladdin isn't one of my favorite Capcom disney games though, but it sure is better than the Virgin approach.

I was born 88 and my first console was the SNES, so yes I was alive back then. Don't make personal assumptions like that just to be a cunt. You're free to enjoy your licensed Disney games if you want though. While I love Capcom, that kind of children's licensed shit is all trash to me and Capcom themselves making it doesn't save it.

Fair enough, I wouldn't go as far as to call them shovelware, just that licensed stuff almost always feels a little cheap to me. I played Magic Adventure Starting Mickey Mouse as a kid, and while good for what it was, it still didn't hold a candle to Capcom's original efforts. Regardless, we can still agree to disagree.

Nothing good about Rondo, besides its music. Bad level design, too many changes to traditional CV gameplay, and poor graphics for 1993 (no doubt thanks to the aging PC Engine hardware).

Rondo is easily the worst console Classicvania, right after Bloodlines. People only overrate it because of its association with SotN, its anime stuff, its obscurity status due to being Japan-only for years, and its low difficulty for a Classicvania.
