Now if he doesn't tell us, everyone will think the worst...
He's got no chance now, he's got to tell us.
I'm joking Guy! Don't take it bad! 
But you can tell us if you want.

You guys are pretty good. It is SC4. I beat it once and that was me forcing myself to finish it. I've tried replaying it several times but find myself getting bored very fast. After seeing how much it's loved here I said I'll keep this thought to myself . I would put LoS but I've never actually played it

[Pfil]

I think it's pretty unique and I really enjoyed it, but it's not one of my top 10 CV games either.
I mean: it's great, but there's plenty of CV games I like more than SCV4.
I just love them all!
But thanks for telling us!

GRAAAGH WE HATE YOU FOREVER

Go sit in the corner and don't come out until you conform.

I never thought that CV4 was that good too. You shouldn't be afraid of telling your oppinion because most of the community likes a game or another.

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

Certainly hasn't stopped people from voicing it.
As long as people aren't acting like asses about it, opinions are welcome.

Dang here I was thinking SOTN I'm 50/50 on that "My mind is telling  me no but my body... my body is telling me YES..."

I can't give an answer here because I have never disliked a cv from the start 

oh wait corrected. It just popped in my mind cv 64 wow... such a mess vanilla  64 is.

now I want ala-mode

Well, I prefer Dracula X over Super Castlevania IV (since Im being dead serious and its not a joke, please put white flowers in my coffin, so they can be red when you guys stop bashing me) xD

[Maedhros]

I prefer it too. Even though CV4 is superior in almost every sense.

Bloodlines is inferior to SCV4 in every aspect except the music, but I like Bloodlines way, way more than SCV4.
Objectivity has nothing to do with personal tastes, and I always give more importance to what I personally like, and I really don't care about objectivity.
Gaming is a hobby, so enjoying it is everything that matters. That's why everyone should always put personal preferences first and really not pay much attention to the general opinion (or the critics, even less).

Curse of Darkness. Fucking horrid level design and dumb enemy AI get in the way of a game that otherwise has some addictive systems under the hood. I would love to see the weapon and demon forging in a new game that is not this one.

[DragonSlayr81]

SCV4 is a game I like, but I never thought of it as highly as others do. To me, it's somewhat mediocre. Of course, I first played it a LONG time after it's release, so I don't have that early-90s nostalgia a kid would've had playing it for the first time and being amazed at the graphics and various gameplay mechanics(which I admit, would've been interesting to experience back in the day). I do like the bosses(the Zapf Bat, Puweyxil, and especially the whole Dancing Spectres battle with spinning background). I still think RoB's Bloody Tears rips all over SCV4's version.

Never been a fan of Christopher or his game. Maybe rebirth is what it should have been but I haven't tried that one either. Something about that guys movement I never liked. The music was ok but that's the only compliment I'm prepared to give CVA.

I wonder if I'm the only one that prefers bloodlines soundtract over symphony since yamane did both really a first hit wonder

Bloodlines is one of my favourites soundtracks ever. However, SotN, while not at the same level perhaps, it includes so many themes that there are more favourites in that one than in Bloodlines, where the tracks are few but there are almost all of them amongst my favourites.
My favourite soundtrack remains Portrait of Ruin, however. Not only CV, but all videogames soundtracks I know.
Curse of Darkness is the 2nd favourite.
Bloodlines is easily the best of older CV titles.
