Well it's finally happened. All spiritual successors for those old games suck, Just like the originals. Hopefully this helps people realize they were always bad and it's pure nostalgia keeping people fighting for them.

Well it's finally happened. All spiritual successors for those old games suck, Just like the originals...
Adrian Diaz
Brody Myers
This thing STILL isn't released yet?
Jaxson Morgan
Wrong, Rondo of Blood is an amazing game and better / more focused /better art direction / better music / cuter Marias than 90% of stuff released today
Matthew Sanders
Late 2020 at earliest.
Ian Reed
Nah
Jackson Morales
Connor Jones
>trusting game journos
I pirated the last demo they had and had a blast
It ran and looked like ass but it was fun as fuck and made me super excited for more
Jonathan Brown
So who got taken out from that spotlight image? Beck, yooka laylee, and now that doujin witch?
Asher Williams
>It ran and looked like ass
Basically paraphrasing the headline in the OP.
Isaiah Mitchell
>doesn't feel quite right
You'd think that people whose careers revolve around talking about video games would find better ways to actually describe their experience.
Camden Thompson
It's clearly meant to make you want to read the article.
Ian Gomez
No the game feels perfect 1:1 with how I remember the ds games, gba games, and sotn
It's just ugly
Aaron Martin
>I finally got my hand on Bloodstained.
So he didn't play any of the other demos that game out before?
And everything else screams "Wah my aestetic".
>No feed back on attacks
You mean like fucking all castlevania games?
Has this guy ever played a castlevania game?
Wait. I know this faggots name. This a Kotaku writer.
Nothing to see here folks. It's a click bait article.
Sebastian White
the article itself is pretty good at pin-pointing what's off about it. (although I think most of their complaints are something you'd get use too after a couple hours of playing)
Christopher Rivera
It made two accusations.
One is "I hate the aesthetic" and the other is "Not feedback on attacks"
The Pax demo was the latest demo from like a year ago and of course the aesthetic is bad right now and the feedback is 1:1 castlevania games.
Did the guy expect enemies to jump back on hit or something?
Carson Smith
The slow movement speed and lack of being able to tell the range of weapons was more what I was referring to, neither of which are real problems. My only point was the article was more precise than the title led on
Adam Murphy
>slow movement speed
You mean the 1:1 movement speed to SotN that just seems slow because of the game being in a higher resolution than a PS1 or NDS could ever hope to output?
Carson Jones
Because spiritual successor is a retarded term, especially when most of the time it's a different direction.
John Evans
you're really itching to argue with someone
Dylan Morris
I'm itching to correct someone. You don't argue with facts.
Nathan Adams
FITE ME REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Daniel Evans
>Hopefully this helps people realize they were always bad and it's pure nostalgia keeping people fighting for them.
Andrew Sullivan
I'm not listening to these proven idiots, and even worse im not listening to you retarded fucking OP.
Anthony Howard
>new thing is poorly made
>this means old thing was bad
Coming to this board and having to read the shit you morons spout even if it's joking has to be the most tiring life.
Dylan Baker
just because it's 1:1 with SotN doesn't mean SotN's movement speed isn't slow user ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Landon Gonzalez
But it does mean it is accurate and therefor not "Off"
Mason Lewis
>all these assblasted fuckheads already regretting their $300 purchase.
Remember, no refunds.
Charles Baker
>the ten dollar side project is infinitely better than the main game
Camden Wilson
It just boggles my mind that in the time it's taken so far to develop this game, Igarashi put out every handheld Castlevania game except OoE.
I mean, I realize he's working with a much smaller team, but that's FIVE different games. And this one looks worse than any of them.
Carter Cox
Much smaller team.
Completely new assets instead of the years of castlevania assets in his catalog to pull from for 90% of the games development.
2.5D from scratch.
Made for more than a single platform.
Grayson Reed
>Much smaller team.
It's not. SOTN and HoD were smaller.
Jackson Bennett
when will people finally accept that indieshit ripoffs of classic games will NEVER, EVER live up to the originals?
Ayden Collins
Not true, Yooka Laylee looks like shit yet I still recently enjoyed all three Banjo games. It really proves more that great are lightning in a bottle and not something that should ever be continued or given sequels unless done very carefully
William Hill
It's like the Mighty Gunvolt crossover game all over again
Kevin Martin
I mean. Hollow Knight exists and it's incredible and it's just a metroidvania with a bug aesthetic.
So never?
William Green
There seems to be a pattern developing involving this man.
David Sanders
AM2R was way better than metroid II and the official remake
Ayden Smith
Well yeah. Inti-creates makes good to great 2D games and should be tazed until unconsciousness if any one of the staff is seen working with 3d.
Bentley Murphy
No it wasn't. The devs of that game think metroid is all about shine sparking into random fucking walls to find secrets and doing other stupid fucking "speedrun techs."
Kayden Kelly
Imagine if that budget had just gone to this.
Sebastian King
And yet they gave us a free game far better than the embarrassment that was Samus Returns.
Sebastian Gutierrez
Have you never played a Metroid game that wasn't Other M?
secrets in random ass walls and found in esoteric ways were the series staple until Sakamoto got fed up with people learning how to sequence break.
Dominic Carter
it's shit compared to metroid and castlevania.
Bentley Peterson
If it still was heavy set on that dash mechanic than it would still be utter shit in my book.
Cooper Rogers
It's really not. You should play it some time instead of talking about things you have no clue about.
