ITT: Games that are loved by casuals, but hated by fans of the series
casuals
This game is fucking difficult. Maybe not as hard as the games before it, but still very frustrating if you hope to beat Dracula.
That’s not Bloodlines
maybe for someone who's never played a 2d platformer before. it's probably one of the easiest and most accessible side scrollers out there.
Maybe that would be true if Simon didn't take up an entire quarter of the screen, jump around like he's on the goddamn moon, and be able to whip one corner of the screen to the other. There's a reason people call it Super Castlevania Bros.
As a fan of Xenogears and Saga this shit was such a massive letdown. Yet tendies ate it up like it was their favourite slop.
I'm a fucking baby who can't even beat SotN properly and even I thought IV was too easy.
Casuals get filtered by the finite continues, unlike IV which lets you keep trying no matter how many times you fail.
I liked this one when it came out because "open world jrpg" actually felt pretty novel at the time. Total slog to play theae days though and I thought X was too far in the MMO-style direction and I couldn't stand what little I saw of 2 or 3.
2 is the most similar to Gears and Saga. It feels far more ambitious than 1 or 3. It's the only Blade game I enjoyed.
Easy answer.
But Bloodlines doesn't have finite continues
lolll
Good job making this post, clearly you're suffering from some kind of of massive physical disability if you found SCIV hard
Not really a series, but shmup fans hate Radiant Silvergun and Ikaruga, despite them being acclaimed by critics as among the best of the genre, but usually only by people who don't play a lot of shmups. They're great games but kind of understandable because they're more like puzzle games than actual shmups. It's just funny
It's by far the easiest classic Castlevania game
ikaruga yes
what shmup fan hates Radiant Silvergun
I think a lot of people don't like the color combo system for the same reason they don't like ikaruga
GameCube babies massively overrate every game on their system. Tales of Symphonia is particularly overrated because it’s the most accessible of the 5 JRPGs on the system.
I'll take Blade over movie games any day of the week.
this is the exact same reason Ikaruga used to be overrated lol
Post proof that IV is hated by fans of Castlevania.
It was always consistently voted as the best game in the series in Castlevania Dungeon forums (the only place online where actual Castlevania fans are, since late 90s/early 00s, before most of you were even born).
"Fans" of Castlevania who pose as "hardcore gamers" around here peobably used save states on the last couple levels of IV.
This is unironically true, but it gets lost on people who 2cc danmakus. Hardcore fans dramatically overestimate the ability of an average video game player. SCIV isn't in the same difficulty league as SMW.
Games that are loved by casuals, but hated by fans of the series
Here's the poster child of this phenomenon. Worshipped by boomers for being the only game in the series that they could beat, while actual Mega Man fan can see it's mediocre at best.
Actually, IV is known for being the actual hardest Castlevania game to speedrun, because of all the variables in the controls meaning you have to execute a lot of inputs perfectly, whereas something like CV1 is far easier once you memorize the entire game, it's just safe sailing, 4 has a lot of things that can still fuck you up even with memorization.
Also, actual easiest Castlevania classic game in general is Rondo of Blood.
No one hates SCIV, but it's not as good as a lot of what came before or after.
actual Mega Man fan
Source?
as good as a lot of what came before or after.
Why? Do you have a way to measure how good or bad these games are? Most classicvanias are great.
Do you have a way to measure how good or bad these games are?
Yeah it's if I like it or not and I like some things more than others.
I love Castlevania, played most of the games and I love SCIV. It's kinda on the easier side, but it's just perfect for a relaxing playthrough. Just sit down for a couple hours and cleave through the game while enjoying the 10/10 OST and atmosphere.
tits or gtfo
Why are you brown.
No, I'm not black, you BBC whore.
Sorry rajeesh. Go back to shitposting for ten cents an hour.
popular and good game criticized by clueless people who think they are video game exoerts and who think they are "real fans" of the franchise
This will never not be funny to me. Just say you have an unpopular opinion and move on. Or better yet, don't say anything and go on with your life.
But anon, you don't understand, I need to parrot the opinion of my favorite youtube surrogate friend who made a clickbait video titled "Is castlevania 4... nOT THAT GooD!? :O"
but it does
nooooo you have to be a video game journo to have an opinion and you have to hold the same opinion as everyone else!
End your life.
unironically using that term, showing it's part of your natural thought process
you are severely mentally ill
It's ironic you say that because posers like you LARP as video game journos, with your "hot takes" and how "this game that has always been liked by everyone back in the 90s is actually.... BAD! here's why"
noooo you have to have the same opinion as everyone else! Stop hating things I like! No one has ever disliked this game EVER so STOP IT
Super Castlevania is a good game, wtf people gotta get their panties in a wad over trivial bullshit?
As I said just admit you have an unpopular opinion, but you aren't the voice of "real castlevania fans" or "hardcore gamers", you are just a random ass anon.
STOP HATING THINGS. STOP IT!
Lmao, sorry you and everyone else has shit taste anon but I'll stay above you.
Never said to stop talking, just stop thinking you are important, or that you represent hardcores/non-casuals.
can you define "properly"? because i can't imagine finding SotN harder than IV in a million years unless you try extremely hard not to use the metric fuckton of broken weapons/abilities the game throws at you
I am more important than you and I represent hardcores more than you. What I say is law.
Dark Souls 3
casuals and secondaries love it because it was their first, but in reality, it's bottom 2 of the series together with DaS2.
2 is still better because at least it is somewhat interesting. 3 is mechanically better but it is so incredibly painfully by the books, it bores one to tears. Even the colour schemes are so drab and drownes in piss
What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets!
I believe you.
Not.
It does, it has finite continues and a password system which is really stupid, especially since using a password I recall forces you to play with only one continue afterwards.
you are really going from one extreme to the next
all mainline Mega Man games are very similar in terms of quality after the first one which is just a bit less polished than the average. They all have about the same amount of unique flaws and unique strenths
Neo-internet is all abiut hyperbolics.
You like something? You just don't like it, you have an entire agenda about it and conspire in ideological warfare in order to push forward that thing you like as if it was life or death.
You slightly dislike something or don't care about it? You have an agenda and post about it every day in hopes to tarnish its reputation.
Social media and massive internet usage has been a tragedy for human civilization.
None of this is true though. Just another case of Anon Babble being Anon Babble. Lie like a retard purely for the sake of lying like a retard. Cant imagine thinking that's a life worth living.
lel youtuber likes this game so I CANT ANYMORE!!!
pathetic and mind broken
You are replying to an autistic shitposter nicknamed Australia-kun. He's been trying to push his "super castlevania bros" meme for almost a decade now, on Anon Babble, but everyone on there just make fun of him so he keeps trying to force it on Anon Babble it seems.
Just a weird autistic guy with a severely obsessed hateboner for this Konami game on Super Nintendo
Resident evil 6, not even close.
say something negative about a game
suddenly you’re a boogeyman from another board pushing some decade long agenda against said game
Holy shit I forgot about that retard
It's fucking true
lmao so he moved to Anon Babble after all, I thought he was finally dead since I stopped seeing him on Anon Babble
oof.
Hi, Australia-kun..will you EVER disclose how your mental illness with nintendo obsession originated?
thread shitting on Castlevania 4
It was auster
kek, dead fucking internet.
Why do CV threads about 4 gain more traction than the others?
He also made another one shitting on Dracula X
Classic auster, the Super Nintendo broke his psyche. Almost 10 years now!
There's a reason people call it Super Castlevania Bros
there's a reason you call it that way
autism
It's an amazing classic, and it's fun to mock pseuds who try to claim "le easy!" When we all know they got their first game over in stage 3-3
Its generally easier yes but the final few levels are bullshit annoying and fuck the final boss gauntlet
tested
It's only really "easier" for the first 2 levels and barely. Stage 1 in 4 still has spinnin platform traps and medusa heads.
Hi, James. How’s your bitch wife and her retarded baby?
holy filtered false memory implantation
Nice e-celeb obsession, auster, but Castlevania 4 has been praised since before youtube existed!
