you do realize you got 3 votes?
...so you wont have to be torn between two games?
-
Many of the games included into one vote option aren't even close to being the same game. For example, I can understand including Rondo of Blood and its 2.5D remake as one game, but Dracula XX is entirely different. Castlevania 1, Chronicles, and IV aren't even close to being similar, aside from Chonicles and 1 sharing the same level layout for the first stage.

I wanted to sum it up by event, I did it so that there wont be so many versions on the votes...
There would be 2 Dracula X's 3 Sotns, and a Fuck ton of Cv1s
it would be an overload, so I tried my best to keep it on a coherent level...
-
Oh how I will be despised by the elitists xD
My top votes are for Rondo of Blood, Symphony of the Night and Harmony of Despair. Rondo of Blood for me being right at the top.
That's my current opinion, but that may change once I play the others. Just need the time to play them is all.
-
My top 3 CV games are
1.Castlevania Symphony of the Night
2.Super Castlevania 4
3.Castlevania 3 dracula's curse
So I chose CVSOTN.

.......... reading does wonders for the soul :-[
Huh? I voted for SOTN. Oh well, it's still my favorite 2DVania.
-
Cv3, Bloodlines and Rondo are my choices.
-
My favorites would have to be the CV1 games, CVIII and the dracula x games(rondo, dracula x and DXC)
-
3 and 4. Not sure which one I'd pick for a third.
-
I went for CV4 and SotN. CV4 was the pinnacle of the 2D sidescroller that went stage by stage. SotN was the first CV of its kind. Yes, it was too easy and some of the weapons were broken, but it was the first and all the other metroidvanias feel like clones. Plus, it is the first and only CV with Alucard as the main character (we really need another one with him as the lead).
-
SCV4. There is almost no competition for me.
Except maybe Dracula X.
-
4 wins for me. Second would have been the original, but it's the same option, so...
Second vote of these options? I actually really like wandering the countryside in 2, so I went with that. I play it more than I play SotN.
Thirdly, I voted for Adventure Rebirth. That game is still incredibly fun! And I love that the different difficulties actually change the level layouts as well as enemy placement. It makes each difficulty setting into its own experience.
-

I chose all three of those. They're all games I owned and beat when they came out growing up and so they mean the most to me. The rest are stuff I played after I set out to collect and beat them all as an adult.
-
I just recently posted the topic about Bloodlines and how innovative it was. But I have to give the nod to CV 1, 4 and Chronicles. My love not withstanding for CV2,3 and Bloodlines, the first game is the one that started it all. I must admit when I first played the game it didn't move me as I was into beating Super Mario Brothers. It's hard to divide ones loyalties. But once I beat the Grim Reaper and moved on to Dracula I was hooked. I would not beat the game until the next time I rented it at the VHS tape store (what's a VHS tape?). But the game has been a fond memory to me and will always be so. CV4 is a musical orgy. It's just so fucking good. Chronicles is a bit flat on the graphical end but the Arranged tracks are second only to CV4 IMO. So that's why I voted as such.
-
Final decisions: 3, 4, Bloodlines.
The Dracula X games have a cool sense of style, but outside of the SNES one they're way too easy. (I'm sure my opinion will change once Esco's SotN hack is released.)
4 is pretty easy too but its nostalgia factor (my first 'vania) and unique atmosphere are overpowering.

**HEAVY SIGH** (http://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/index.php/topic,4206.0.html)
Why do these topics keep getting resurrected?
Do you not know that these have been discussed... countless times...? this one even got resurrected as it hasn't been posted in like a month.
Are people scrolling to past pages, looking specifically for "What's your favorite..." threads and bringing them up?
-
Resurrected? I like the sound of that... In any case I went with Dracula's curse but only by a small margin since I think they are really all tremendous games.
-
God damnit I can't choose. >_<
Definitely Rondo and HoDespair, CVs 1, 3 and 4, X68000 (as well as Chronicles), SotN, Aria & Dawn of Sorrow, OoE, PoR, Bloodlines, Lament...
Pretty much everything except CV2 and Dracula X (SNES). ._.

Sorry dude, made the topic 9 days beforehand (and in those 9 days, those your favorite topics exploded)

My favorite: Castlevania 2 (nes, famicom disk )
First Castlevania rpg.
-
The old December bump (and because SURPRISE, I have a CV gameplaying hunger brewing in me for the first time in years), I choose the old standby's CV1 (CV Chronicles would be a fourth as it is very different in terms of layout), CV 3 and Bloodlines. The first because it was my first CV title played (back when they had Vs. CV cabs in arcades), CV 3 luckily falling in my hands one day as I helped a friend trade Shinobi III for Ninja Gaiden II, played the shit out of it, and of course Bloodlines, a game I chuckled at back when EGM and Gamepro ran features about it (my gawd these enemies don't look right hahahaha this won't sell, I'll never play it.....years later, oh my I see a copy on shelves and I have a Genesis now.....MINE), needless to say after helping my cousin pass the Pisa stage, it sunk in. I no longer laugh at Bloodlines, I respect the hell out of it (the buying part came 2 full years after I finally was called by my cousin, he picked me up to go to his house to beat 1 freaking stage he couldn't pass, I passed it first shot).
-
Tis a hard one, this (that's what she said) question.
I want to say Cv4, but I loved Rondo for it's boss fights, and that it was like Cv3 in several ways. SotN is probably my most played.
Aria of Sorrow is probably the best of the handheld's, but the console versions always feel like they have more depth. Or maybe that just because of over a decade of reaccruing sprites.
-
so far SoTN ( I know I am a tool in favoring a majority consensus, though this would be a rare moment I do so) though I should probably try SCV4 as thats supposed to be excellent game play wise ( getting a wii for virtual console + all the other castlevania games I am missing or getting a snes + game, what to do...)
-
cv4 and bloodlines
-
scv 4 wa AWESOME!
-
I would say Castlevania SOTN did it for me, it was the first game in the series that I had played and it opened me up to the other games in the series, plus Alucard is a cool character and amazing he had some complexity into his character especially when he had to fight his father although he seemed cold you can tell he wished he didn't have to do it.
-
castlevania 3. it gave us multiple heroes instead of a lone vampire hunter, and you had multiple paths to take in an otherwise linear cv game. also it gave us beginning, my absolute favorite tune in the entire series 8)
also rondo of blood. it gave us real voice acting, the divine bloodlines tune, and maria renard, especially with that cat subweapon i absolutely adore and love to use ;D
also vampire killer/bloodlines, for the fun levels and awesome music 8)
-
My top favorite 2Dvanias are:
1. Dracula's Curse
2. Castlevania 1/SCIV/Chronicles
3. Bloodlines
I like SoTN, but this is top three and Classicvania is by far my favorite format as I've been playing them since I was just 5 years old.
-
I expect to be savaged and torn apart mercilessly for this, but:
1) Castlevania 4
2) Harmony of Despair
3) Symphony of the Night
Harmony merely tops out SOTN on my list because of two reasons: I haven't yet played it to death like I have with Symphony of the Ports, and it has more replay value thanks to the CO-OP that makes the meat of the game.
-
1. Dracula's Curse
2. Rondo of Blood
3. Super Castlevania IV
-
I love Symphony of the Night, Rondo of Blood and Castlevania III.
-
Castlevania III is the best game on the NES, period. 4 characters, all of whom are interesting and fun in their own ways. Very good level design (although I won't defend level 9...) and multiple paths. Quite hard, through legitimate challenge rather than bad design. And I don't think I need to comment on the music!
IV is very close behind in my mind - I think III is the stronger all-around game by a hair. I'd probably give the nod to IV if it had the multiple characters and/or paths.
X68000 would be my 3rd...I've never played Chronicles but have beaten the original version. That is exactly how you do a remake!
SOTN isn't quite my style of game but I still enjoyed it a lot and would have no problem with anyone saying it's the best.
-
The original Castlevania for NES will always be my favorite. A timeless classic. Second would have to be Rondo of Blood, as that is the pinnacle of 2D classic 'vania imo. Lastly SOTN, which introduced some interesting RPG elements and really doesn't need further explanation :P
