I "finished" all the games in the Castlevania collection and got 1000/1000 gamerscore for it, using save states like a bitch though so I know that it doesn't really count. I started the Rondo of Blood remake on PSP and I just couldn't. I watched the cutscenes on Youtube instead.
I've beaten games that many consider ridiculously hard (Ninja Gaiden on Master Ninja, DMC 1-4 etc.) but this is something else.
I'm glad I got a feel of the story, atmosphere, who the Belmonts are, etc. for my Symphony of the Night playthrough and am looking forward to playing the GBA and DS games along with Bloodstained.

what's wrong with save states? those games were originally designed to be crushingly difficult to artificially lengthen your experience. this day and age, save states are totally fine to use, ok?

Yeah only hardcore purists give a shit about that stuff and frankly fuck those kinda people. You finished the games. No qualifiers or asterisks necessary.

For 3 you have to play the
Jpn version as the us version has been altered to prevent rentals.

I prefer the non-metroidvania cv games. But they're dead now I guess. Try the psp remake if you can?

I didnt like it at first but Rondo of Blood as a certain challenge to it that makes it fun to me.

The difficulty was purposely made annoyingly difficult in the us version to prevent it from being beaten in a one day rental.

Rondo is easier than 1 and 3, but i guess if you're not using save states for Rondo but you did for those, it changes things.

Anyway, I like both styles, though classicvania can be extremely difficult.

My dad had this. It was super frustrating with the time limitation.

Simon's Quest is one of those games I really ought to hate, but don't. It's undeniably an unfinished mess, but i still enjoy it somehow.

Lol yep.

It's really too bad because I really do love the presentation and music in the game, it's just... I can't actually progress to experience it.

I may give the Japanese versions of older games a try. I didn't know they were easier. Fortunately they were included in the collection too :D
