Topic: CVA have some good stages there, too bad the controls and framerate kills them

[Maedhros]

As the title implies. This title has two best uses of platforming on the series. The third and fourth stage for example. Too bad the controls are so bad, making them really tiresome without savestates or patient. I don't remember other CV with so much emphasys on platforming, except 3.

Just finished the game. I was bored.

Since I bought a copy the other day, I've been thinking the same thing. Though, I only really find the low framerate a problem during the horizontal-spike-wall sections, due to Chris walking so damn slow. I still love stage three, though.

Playing this game on an emulator helps Chris move just that much faster. But before I had the internet I was doing this on my Super gameboy. F**k was it difficult! And stage 3 was the most notorious monster of the whole game for me.

I really enjoy CVA for what it is.
And the music is so awesome!

[Nagumo]

I always enjoy playing the third and fourth stage of this game. I wish the atmosphere was a little better, then I probably would have enjoyed it more.     

[Ratty]

Yep. Love the music and graphics in this one but the sluggish controls just kill it.

[Inccubus]

It's a lot better with the walking speed hack. Also not loosing your whip power when you get hit helps a lot.

[Aridale]

yeah thats the only way to play this game. Makes a world of difference

[Ratty]

Eh, I couldn't enjoy that. Even though the game is broken because of those bad design decisions, fixing them would feel like cheating.

[Pfil]

It's nice to improve the gameplay using several techniques, but my personal belief is that it's a nice experience to play it like the developers intended.
Then, we can stop if our skills ar not enough (it happened to me a lot of times), but at least I give it a try at first.
In the case of CVA, I could finish it without cheating. Some other times, like with Circle of the Moon arena stage, or some extra modes like Albus Mode in OoE, Max LV 1 in PoR, or The Forgotten One in LoI, I just couldn't do it.

level 3 kills me that scaling part dang... reached the top once... once

[Lelygax]

*reads this*

...or some extra modes like Albus Mode in OoE, Max LV 1 in PoR...

OMG, I've forgotten again, thanks! I'll return playing my Albus save today xD

(mostly joking)
Maybe you guys should accept the game for what it is and accept that you're terrible at it.
C'mon, 'fixing' the walking is cheating.  Anticipate the problems the game has and work to beat it with those limitations.

Or, accept that "I am terrible at this game because I cannot adapt".  I will agree that the game could be better in terms of what's going on in the movement controls, but it's not like it's unplayable.  We have many people who've finished these games in their original state.

[Pfil]

That's what I intended to say, kind of 
Sometimes I just can't do it, but at least try.
As you said, the game is not that unplayable.
I'm not an expert, and I could beat it without help.
Am I getting too old?
