Why are we supposed to hate it again?

Specifically for the collapsing bridge right before The Creature.

>>717960296 (OP)
Not sure, I think SC4 rocks.

>>717960296 (OP)
I like the atmosphere in this game

>>717960296 (OP)

bro if you want to talk about it , just make the thread, everyone knows SC4 is great

>>717960296 (OP)
I like the 8-Directional Whip

only sega cucks and sonygroes hate it

the chandeliers music is so excellent

It's insane that they never used the Dracula theme from IV again, his best theme by far.

>>717961562
This, I get that /v/ runs on ragebait but its annoying.

>>717961739
Proof of Blood >>>>>>> any other Dracula theme

>>717960296 (OP)
a classicvania that can be beaten one the first try without continuing is a huge disappointment

>>717961828
So any game?

>>717962009
it'd be very difficult to beat the nes games the first time you sat down to play them

>>717961828
So can CV1 and RoB and they're both masterpieces. It's not a dick measuring contest, games are fun which is more important then perfect difficulty.

>>717960296 (OP)
Because AVGN likes it and 4chan is le ebin ascended hardcore gamers

>>717962134
true, but i was pretty underwhelmed by iv
it's got some nice stages and music, i'll give it that.
the mode 7 gimmick rooms are pretty lame, tho

>>717962117
I beat Bloodlines on hard with John on my first playthrough, whats your point.

>>717962229
that's impressive, not gonna lie

>>717962214
That's fine, I just think people get way too hung up on the difficulty. I find the later levels to provide a decent enough challenge and am always satisfied by the end. Obviously higher difficulty wuld be ideal, I can agree the game is easier then I would like, but it's a masterpiece like every mainline classicvania.

Autoscrollers are one of the most dated platformer mechanics and also one playable character is a big downgrade for a numbered sequel.

>>717960296 (OP)
Grew up with this games soundtrack burned into my brain.

>>717962385
>autoscrollers are one of the most dated platformer mechanics
They just have to be paced well.
No one complains about the autoscroller level in Castlevania 3 because it doesn't force you to wait

>>717962486
3 had branching paths

>>717962486
Actually I just realized there's that falling bricks autoscroller. Yeah that one fucking sucks. But the other autoscrollers in that game are perfectly fine,

>>717962385
What autoscroller did 4 even have?

>>717961739
they did

The water lowering part. The rotating castle part with swinging whip gimmick that's even worse.

>>717960296 (OP)
I really hate half the stages in this game and the soundtrack is a mixed bag compared to the other games. That said it is still solid.

>>717960296 (OP)
It's so much better than Reddit of Blood it's not even funny

>>717963463
>The water lowering part
There is no water lowering autoscroller in 4 idk what you are talking about here
>rotating room
That part is boring yeah but it is also technically not an autoscroller

>>717966489
>game forces you to go at its pace, not at your pace
That makes it an autoscroller.

>>717966653
Oh how of silly me
Here I thought that AUTOSCROLLERS was used to describe a part of the stage that AUTOmatically SCROLLs the screen vertically or horizobtally

Steamers don't get enough donations/subscriptions from it. This is the gold standard now. Lmao.

it represents being subjected to the ignorance of the average gamer
>this is more fluid and player friendly so that automatically means it's better
in the particular case of cviv they might be right but it hints at a fundamental limitation in their understanding of games, they have no concept of constraint defining gameplay outside of perhaps instances where it would directly benefit their ego, make the game easier.

>>717960296 (OP)
because it sucks

>>717968241
I mean it still feels like Castlevania, it just doesn't feel like ultra stiff dogshit where you're constantly fighting the controls. They can actually get much more creative and challenging with level and boss design when you aren't a useless sack of shit with a fixed jump arc, two direction whip, glued to stairs, and needing to use an awkward two button combo for subweapons (especially an issue on stairs)

Posting the best song in the game

Multi-directional whipping removes pretty much all of the challenge of the first half of the game (The dungeon onwards is still hard though)
But, I'd argue that making the game easier makes the atmosphere and aesthetic stand out, which is amazing because SCIV is easily the best looking and sounding game in the entire franchise

Eight-way whipping kicks ass but kind of invalidates subweapons
Bland aesthetically, which is strange for Castlevania
Literally do not remember any of its music that isn't Simon's theme in the first stage

>>717969608
>>717969709
Where is this meme coming from that SC IV is easy? It's harder than both Rondo and CV1. The levels and bosses are made much harder to compensate for the far better controls, and subweapons are still very useful as they have longer range, different attack angles, and higher damage.

Also fuck you, SC IV has one of the absolute best and most memorable OST on the SNES

>>717969968
cviv's difficulty is generally more intuitive, you can sort of just feel your way through the game like you would any other platformer. I could see an intelligent player finding the simplicity of cv1 to be easier/more repeatable but for most players being forced into deliberate action is like a mental block.

>>717969968
One of the greatest soundtracks of all time, actually.
I hold it in higher regards than even SotN.

The soundtrack is incredible.

>>717962354
Play on game on Hard using the Game B password.

Because Bloodlines and Rondo were better games.

>>717972875
1cc'ed all three, rondo and bloodlines don't even come close

Oh yeah? You think you're so fucking smart, eh? Then how about THIS, retard?!

>>717962229
He said "NES", not "Genesis". They control way differently from each other.
