Why /vr/ hate Castlevania made for SNES? Both Super 4 and Dracula

>/vr/ hate Castlevania made for SNES

It's just Australia-kun who hates IV.

The Dracula X hate meme comes from ignorant hipsters that assume DX is a "bad port" of Rondo of Blood.

>>3811686
I mean..it's not necessarily a good port either. But it's not bad enough to be disregarded completely.

>>3811686

I have seen plenty of different posts hating IV for being easy. Same posts that hate US version of Castlevania III for being "unfair".

>>3811680
I like Super 4 but dislike Dracul ecks

>>3811687
The thing is that the game isn't a port.
>>3811689
The "IV is easy" meme has been debunked plenty of times, Rondo of Blood (the fan-favorite Castlevania) is the easiest of the classicvanias and nobody shits on it for being easy.
I'm guessing the IV hate comes from contrarian hipsters that don't like how IV is usually the favorite of many people (including the "controversial" Cinemassacre guys, with whom /vr/ has a love/hate relationship).
Egoraptor also convinced a lot of people that Castlevania IV isn't as good as a sequel because some bullshit about sub-weapons being useless (false) and developers not experimenting with the grappling whip enough (also false, and also he tried to shoehorn his shitty indie game dev ideas as if he knew better than Konami veterans, lol). The reality is, Egoraptor never finished Castlevania IV, and the worst of all, he still thinks the game is great. But he wanted to make a "Sequelitis" video about it, even if he barely played a few levels of the game. The thing is, like it or not a LOT of people watch his shit (has like millions of views, it's ridiculous) and most of the viewers are young /v/ tards who don't play games but still shitpost about them online.

>Rondo of Blood (the fan-favorite Castlevania) is the easiest of the classicvanias and nobody shits on it for being easy.
Objectively false. Rondo has:

>more restrictive controls
>a less overpowered whip
>harder boss fights

The only way Rondo is the easiest is if you choose to play as Maria mode, who has floaty controls, a double jump, and a near-instakill move by summoning a Stand.

Also

Get out.

>more restrictive controls
Maybe, because it doesn't have diagonal whipping, but it's still a lot like IV in terms of mid-air control, not to mention Richter can backflip
>a less overpowered whip
Yeah, but what's up with Rondo not having whip upgrades? If I want, I can play a no upgrade run on IV, can't do it on Rondo.
Also, Rondo has one of the most broken sub-items in all of CV, the bible. Not to mention item crash.
>harder boss fights
This one is true, but in contrast levels on Rondo are easier than levels on IV.
Compare how easy the clock tower on Rondo is compared to the challenge in IV.

Still, both games are more on the easy side when compared to the NES games, but they're still amazing. The only difference is that IV gets more shit on because it's on Nintendo and it's popular, and Rondo is more respected due to its "cult japan-only" status. Still as of late I've seen shitposters shitting on Rondo for being animu style and what not.

>referencing e-celebs
Sadly it's something you have to keep in mind if you're talking internet opinions.

Why was the Devil in Castlevania? Isn't the villain supposed to be Dracula?

>>3811687
Yeah it's completely unplayable, you retarded faggot.

>dude slow mode 7 background rooms lmao

Still talking about the same section, dude mode7 hate!

>>3811687
It's not even a port...

>>3812007
No it isn't

>>3811680
Castlevania IV is one of my favorite games on the SNES. Dracula X is good too, but Rondo of Blood is probably better. That said, both are worth playing. I'm not sure where you're seeing all this Castlevania hate. It's a vocal minority at worst.

I like Bloodlines, too.

>>3812017
What would you call it then? It's not a wholly original game. It's not a remake. It's sort of a..reimagining..I guess?

>>3812048
Just it's own thing.

>>3812048
Re-adaptation
Like the 4 or so versions of the original game's story

>>3812048
It's like a "gaiden" game. Whole game is really different from Rondo of Blood outside of character sprites and setting. Whole levels are re-designed, all level assets are 100% new. And while most enemies are reused sprites from Rondo, there's still new bosses or new versions (see Dracula).

Dracula X is odd. It's a port of Rondo in using assets and control but the levels are completely original made to compensate for being on the snes. So in a way it's a port but it's own game. Think of it as Rondo but re imagined like how 4 is.

>>3812125
The fuck is SCB?

>>3812163
4 is a completely different game from CV1, from the get go. It definitely doesn't uses the same sprites, or any single asset from CV1.
Dracula X SNES does use assets from Rondo (main characters and regular enemies), and uses the same plot, with small changes.
Music is also the same arranged on the SNES' soundchip.
And... that's about all Rondo and DX have in common. The whole game is a new game. It uses some of the scenarios from Rondo of Blood, but change them completely, both in visuals/assets and in layout and design. Enemy placement, everything.
I think there isn't a single room on DX that is the same as one on Rondo. Other than maybe some boss room, but even those got switched around. For example you fight Death, for the most part it's the same as in Rondo (sprite, etc), but instead of fighting over a ship, you're fighting at the top of the clock tower, on a much narrower space, changing the boss fight significantly.
And contrary to popular belief, DX do have branching paths and alternate levels, not as much as Rondo though, but you can find secret exits on a couple levels after the first ones. You can rescue Maria, but not play as her. And of course all the secret paths and maiden hideouts are different than in Rondo, since the whole levels are new. If you already played Rondo and want more, DX is a great option, it's basically Rondo 1.5.
It's an almost-sequel or something.

Australia-kun going autismo like always.
