Holy shit the controls fucking suck. What were they thinking?
maybe SotN would be a more appropriate choice for you zoomie
aw sweet a bait thread that """oldfags""" will bite to every single time without fail
>>8912862grab a appropriate romhack and shut your mouth
>>8912886>game made in 1997>zoomiego away retard
he's going to take you back to the past...
>>8913138Sugoii~ oniichan! What are we going to do in the past??
>>8913134zoomies love metroidvania junk
>>8913151Castlevania 1-3 aren't metroidvanias, they're just platformers.
>>8913151>>8912886Liking certain genres has nothing to do with your age, you retarded tribalistic dipshit
>>8913160read reply chain>>8913163thats not the point
>>8913163>Liking certain genres has nothing to do with your ageSure it does. One or two zoomers claiming they enjoy retro games doesn't change the fact that game preference is highly correlated with age.
>>8913169Retro isn't a genre, dumbass.
>>8913173I'm sure that sounded clever in your mind.
>>8913173>classic rock isn't a genre
>>8913224it isn't
Knock back and not being to change the arc mid jump is bullshit
>>8913224it's a marketing term, and a shit one at thatin the 70s, beatles was classic rock, in the 90s, it was pink floyd, now it's nirvana
>>8913224You're actually fucking retarded
>>8913282wow it's almost like retro is a genre ;^)
>guy does exactly what you want when you press the button>bad controls
>>8913289no it's objectively notplatformers, rpgs, adventure games, etc are genresretro is an age term like vintagelike no one goes out looking for "vintage records", and wants it to sound like xyz, they're looking for old recordswell usually they do want it in a genre but then you'd say something like "vintage rock cds" or something
>>8913303uh huh
>>8913304okay you're probably just pretending to be retarded so whateveri'm gonna go play some castlevaniaand then go to bed cause it's late
>>8913313tell me more anon
>>8913289You can't be this fucking stupid.
>>8912862Get good zoomie.
Castlevania has clunky controls like most early games; it came out in Japan in 86 and third party NES devs often struggled to get stuff to control well. Late period Konami titles like TMNT III almost feel like they're on a completely different system.
The controls are great, tight and responsive. The fixed jump arc has nothing to do with controls, and it's an intentional gameplay feature. Castlevania isn't a platformer, it's an action sidescroller like Rush'n' Attack / Green Beret (which has the same fixed arc jumping), it's closer to Kung Fu than it is to Super Mario Bros or Adventure Island.The Goonies by Konami came out 7 months before Castlevania and had more free jumping. Because the game is more of a platformer than Castlevania.
>>8913163but it does you retarded retrofad zoomie, how else do explain somebody that wasn't even born back then not liking a very early form of control scheme? I mean, how the fuck is someobody stupid enough to not understand that Symphony of the Night's control evolved through the years and was not magically put into the first game in the franchise?And you see plenty of similar posts on /vr/ proving the point...
>>8912862>ClunkvaniaNo, THIS is a Clunkvania
>>8915165It's fun
>>89131602 kinda is?
>>8915090Rather a game controls well or not has nothing to fucking do with it's genre nor is rather you like a genre effected by your age. You people are peak retard
>>8913906>Castlevania isn't a platformerThen maybe it should have had less platforming? What a stupid argument. It clearly has a massive focus on platforming.
