Games you like that everyone hates

[Lemonray]

First of all,

The "difficulty" of SNES Dracula X lies not in honest challenge, but in flawed game design. Rondo's difficulty was the product of enemies, which complemented an enviroment you had to traverse, while in Drac X the enemies were just strewn around the various stages without any creative thought. Also speaking of the levels themselves, they were unexciting. No Ghost Ship, no Graveyard, just the ordinary, cookie-cutter scenery you'd find in any other platformer with a similar theme.

And I suppose you'd rather not have an alternate character with a different playstyle? Or, do you think females should only exist in games as non-combatants? If they'd instead used Kid Dracula as an alternate character who played identically to Maria, would you still be defending Dracula X on this issue?

Now, save files, I can live without, but really Dracula X didn't have the depth to warrant a save feature, unlike Rondo. The music could have been better, the "limitations" of the SNES are irrelevant; Super Castlevania 4 had fantastic music. The fact that they included Picture of a Ghost Ship but left out the superior Cross a Fear is just sad. The cutscenes weren't really a huge deal, but I'd personally rather have them than not, given the choice.

Dracula X wasn't one tenth the game Rondo of Blood was.
