Topic: Worst Game in Series

[MeSako]

We have a poll of the BEST game..
Now I present the poll for the WORST game.

I totally, whole heartily love this franchise, but as we all know , there are some black sheep in there, some games we don't like.
And since we all have different tast, we dislike different games.

Which one is your blackest sheep??

[MeSako]

I myself went for Circle of the Moon.
Why? Because the controls where awful, and the interior of the Castle looked like it was built for giants. And much of the rooms where of screen, so even a small shack was two screens wide. And the bosses where most of the time off screen due to the big rooms!

I say CV64.  The camera sucked and the castle center seems nearly impossible to complete without getting blown up.  Plus, the character movements weren't fluid.

l voted Lament of Innocence. I hate it. Its complete inferior to CV64 and it not enjoyable to play. The graphics are high enough resolution, but the design is absolutely atrocious. The combat is alright (its been done better in other games), the exploration is pretty terrible, and the level design is absolutely atrocious. The boss battles are not fun (The succubus is just annoying, the golem is pathetic when you spam holy water...). The only good thing is the music.


I understand why some would vote Legends, and it is pretty bad but I don't think people's expectations would have been as high. I still think its better than Adventure, despite the levels being quite boring, and its not as frustrating as LoI. LoI had so much potential...

[Nagumo]

Vampire Killer because of the poor hit detection (which is really annoying) and the super boring levels.

Lament of Innocence. Why? Cause of Dracula's origins. The game would've succeeded had there not been that awful story contradiction.

Christopher is the slowest moving character in the series.

They chose to remake his game, because it is the worst in the series.

I voted Circle of the Moon, but I would have also voted for Harmony of Dissonance, if I could vote twice.Both have terrible maps and level layouts, both have lame stories and I really didn't care about any of the characters in both. But, I still think they're good, just the two worst games in the series.

I was expecting to see HoD and PoR getting more votes here.. I'm also really surprised at CotM and OoE.
Personally I voted CV64, but I think Adventure is just as bad. Legends is a close third, followed by Haunted Castle, Vampire's Kiss, Legacy of Darkness and LoI (which honesly isn't a bad game, but there aren't many "bad" games in the series anyway, just "less great" ones).

CotM, CV64 and Legends are in the lead so far. So much for "IGA destroyed our beloved franchise!1"...

[Harrycombs]

I know there are a lot of people who don't like CV64, but I'm surprised that people think its the worst in the series. Its strange that there is more love for Haunted Castle, Adventure, Portrait of Ruin, and Legends than CV64

[Abnormal Freak]

Curse of Darkness by far. At least Haunted Castle is somewhat enjoyable to play. Adventure and Legends are also fun. But, that old school 'Vania gameplay is where it's at for me.

[jimmay17]

I voted Lament of Innocence. It wasn't a terrible game, but it is one of the few in the series that I've never felt compelled to revisit after the initial run-through. I found it an un-involving, tedious button-masher with little incentive to explore or replay.

I've never played it, but from everything I've heard, Haunted Castle should probably be running away with this poll, the consensus seems to be it is nearly unplayable, almost certainly un-finishable. It probably would be leading this poll, of course, but for one inconvenient fact: It isn't in it, you've forgotten it, which says a lot on its own.    

[Neverafter]

I'll usually go with Haunted Castle, but then again arcade games can only be so good. So I think harmony of dissonance is, or portrait of ruin.
Why, because constantly waiting 15 seconds to switching back and forth from two identical and boring castles, while hearing to choppy and annoying music, looking at dull backgrounds, and watching Juste stand around constantly loosing his balance wondering why it takes so long to do something your force to do all the time. I could only play it for so long until I vertigo. The controls are also poor. Half of the time hit it's because I'm jumping forward while whipping and for some reason Juste can't change direction while doing so. It's a big step back from Circle of the moon.

[Death]

Wow, who voted Order of Ecclesia?

I voted CV64. I still remember buying that game the day it came out, biggest dissapointment of my gaming life.

[Ahasverus]

CV 64 is god awful, lots of glitches, horrible camera, unreponsive control, almost unexisting music, bt the worst of the worst, SKELETONS ON MOTORCYCLES!
