Dracula X Remake sucks. Even Maria can't save this shit game.

I'm gonna cheat and get a save file that has everything unlocked so I can play goddamn SotN without playing this turd.

i've tried again and again to get into castlevania classic and metroidvania and i just can't.  it doesn't really hold my interest, which is strange because it's basically a side scrolling sandbox game based on exploration and i enjoy doing that in other games.

wow - look out the window.....

See that bird flying away? He is carrying your credibility away with this thread....

You had to downlod the save file? to unlock SOTN?

CastleVania Rondo De Blood remake on PSP is amazingly awesome and I say if you cant play it you just simply cannot be a productive membr of society.

Also why are you callin this "Classic CastleVania"? That would be CastleVania, Simons Quest, Draculas Curse and Haunted Castle.

Rondo De Blood didnt come out till the 16 bit era or so and symphon of the night is the only good metroid vania from the saturn/PSX era..

Simply put - Icant see how anyone could think SoTN is more engaging than Rondo De Blood....I can beat SoTN with a blindfold on. Its a cool game - but its pussyvania for sure. Its onl savin grace is the challenging R. Belmont unlockable mode...when you can beat Rondo De Blood, and SoTN with R.Belmont then your reputation can be somewhat de-shamed....

I decided to just unlock it straight. I don't have a mini usb cord to hook up to my pc so I was pretty much forced to. I haven't played Rondo remake since I unlocked SotN.

The rest of EB agrees: Classic Castlevania sucks.

I am confused - in linked thread you say...

I played Blood of Rondo via emulator and it rocks. I'm a newer Castlevania fan and I enjoyed it.

So whats yer problem with this PSP game?

SuperCastleVania 4 is far from a metroid vania and classic castlevania....

Anyway - I dont want to argue - im so sleeeepy.... enjoy the game!

Classic Castlevania seperates the men from the boys.

A shit game is CastleVania: Dracula X for SNES.

It and Circle of the Moon are the worst shitfests I have played in the series...I even like the N64 games better.

I'd rather play CV: Legacy of Darkness again than any of IGA's clones (or CotM).

I don't understand the love either. The game doesn't look very fun to play. The music is fantastic though.

Then again, I haven't gotten into Castlevania yet.

I would pay much money to have a good copy of CastleVania: LoD to play right now...

Yes, I prefer classic Castlevania to Metroidvania.

Even though I like Symphony of the Night.

Symphony of the Night is the best of the Metroidvania games.

The rest of them suck.  Although Dawn of Sorrow is probably the only Metroidvania post SOTN that is worth playing.  The rest, especially Harmony of Dissonance and Portrait of Ruin, was just garbage.

Post by: Himu on December 29, 2007, 11:20:49 PM
How can you say DoS is good but Portrait isnt'? Portrait is probably the best Metroidvania for the difficulty and level variety alone.
Title: Re: classic Castlevania sucks
Post by: TakingBackSunday on December 29, 2007, 11:23:53 PM
Portrait got repetitive, but it was fun.  I think I like DoS a bit better.
Title: Re: classic Castlevania sucks
Post by: Himu on December 29, 2007, 11:25:01 PM
DoS aka AoS 1.2

I'll never understand the DoS love
Title: Re: classic Castlevania sucks
Post by: TakingBackSunday on December 29, 2007, 11:27:05 PM
Eh, I don't know.  I joined into the Castlevania franchise with Dawn of Sorrow being the first Castlevania game I've ever played.  I never played AoS, and I don't really feel like it.  DoS was just really easy to get into and, well, fun.

I'm not a big fan of the two character system they have for PoR, and the paintings were :snore

CoM is the best Castlevania ever.
