The enemy design in this game is embarrassing
Bloodstained
Get a life, mate.
says the retard posting on Yea Forums
kill yourself britbong
...
>shovel knight reference
really?
damn them for shamelessly turning my boy into an enemy like this
Why is shovelware knight in everygoddam game
he's right though
enemy design is awful in this one, one of the worst castlevanias in that regard so far
Those are backers designed enemies.
Yes they sucks, but they were forced to put them into the game for those neckbeards that paid for ahving their cats and dogs into their games to be killed by strangers.
>whites dont support the project
>waaaah! I dont like it when other races get what they paid for!
kys leech
>but they were forced
They fucking offered that as a backer reward and got paid for it how the fuck were they forced you nigger
This looks so bad, everything clashes with everything else
Because nce you saw the shitty design that the backers came up with they couldnt refuse to put them into the game.
It's the usual case of "the bakers cant be that stupid, right? Oh well, they are actually that stupid".
rofl is this real life
>dat hideous texture mapping
>dat fucking lighting
>those fucking backgrounds made with broken polygons
>those tree roots made with polygons
>those stiff as hell animations
>boss
it dies in 3 hits, respawns, and is used in multiple places
it's not a boss, just for reference
This genuinely looks like an early indie Xbox 360 live arcade title for 10$.
It's just some cats and dogs wuts the problem
>complaining about graphics
>when they think SotN is a masterpiece
>A Dog is a boss
LMAO. Iga is great that he parodies his own games. This is going to be a masterpiece of the next 50 years when Boomers have Nanomachines.
>when they think SotN is a masterpiece
where exactly i said that in my post?
also
>ps1 games looks like a ps1 game
>its ok for this game to look this shitty in 2019
>>complaining about graphics
>>when they think SotN is a masterpiece
SotN is THE prettiest PS1 game though? It has some of the best spritework and animation to date!
Fuck sake, I'm not paying for a game full of memes.
There's also shovel knight enemies.
>indie game
>shovel knight cameo
It's a game about European history, it feels wrong to see so many non whites everywhere
Piece of shit meme game confirmed.
Go back to Konami you hack
Is this Aradia's game?
this was announced years ago
EVERY
GAME
he's in
at least it plays good
crowdfunding is a mistake
Except it's actually a good game, so I don't see why you're projecting your embarrassing life onto it. But hey, you do you, this is Yea Forums after all where contrarians, shitposters, and retards all congregate.
t. backer
Didn't back it, never spent money on patreon, kickstarter, or any project, nor will I ever. Must really chafe you that people can enjoy stuff while you have to sit and cry in your mother's basement on the internet, but like I said, you do you, have a nice day user, I said what I had to say and have better shit to do.
If not for this the game may not of ever been made, Konami didn't want to make it.
There actually is a lot I like about this game but we can't just pretend the awful visuals and shitty character design isn't a problem. Castlevania has always been praised for it's art style and this game totally drops the ball in that regard.
SEETHING
>may not of
Whatever. I loved SotN, but not enough to tolerate how ugly this game is. Maybe I'll pick it up when it's heavily discounted.
Yeah, your post speaks tons on how you're able to enjoy things.
>people keep calling the cat and dog a boss
I see you're all researched and not kneejerking retards.
The dog is actually fucking horrifying in game, it's a floating head.
Who cares if you buy it or not, one person ain't shit.
it's still someone's fucking cat and someone's fucking dog.
seriously, this should not be 2.5 times as expensive as hollow knight
I passed by these guys and thought nothing of them. Is it a white guy thing to get mad at stupid shit?
>40$
Lol. What an angry little faggot.
unironically yes. this is why japdevs need to stop pandering to the west
If it's giving you that much Aspergers, find a way to mod the cat to be skinless or something.
the enemy design in this game is indeed shite, i was watching it yesterday thinking, man i just want to play harmony of despair, this looks like a fortnite fred designed it!
IT SUCKS!
Some good came out of it though
The "Special Message" section of the sound test contains a banepost reference
>It's another "Semi-3D sidescroller looks like trash and it would've looked better AND it would've been less expensive to do it in 2D" episode
everytime
>less expensive
I don't know about that
>The "Special Message" section of the sound test contains a banepost reference
It's been years, let it go, it's not even funny anymore.
>thinking hand drawn art is less costly
As a pixel artist, lolno 3d modeling is the cheapass's way
>it's a "this game is good so i'll pretend it sucks to make people mad" episode
lol you fags, get the fuck back
>Less expensive
Nice job showing you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.
out
More like a bunch of weirdos defending this ugly game like a roastie defending her pitbull.
Don't really have a stake in this shitposting war since I haven't followed the game at all but I thought they delayed the game to work on the textures and artstyle? Why do they still look like an early Xbox 360 arcade game
but is the game good
They did, this is a significant improvement for what it was.
>high resolution 2D less expensive than 3D models
Are you fucking retarded, what the fuck is wrong with your brain.
It is. It's actually really good.
>"I have better shit to do"
>spends time defending shitty backer content
>it's not even funny anymore.
for you
fucken shit game, glad that is free to play
its alright, it controls clunky as hell.
"Bloodstained is a good boy!! He dindu nuffin!!!"
get this hothead outta here
it must be extremely painful 4U
It controls just like SotN and even plays at the same speed.
Because it looked even worse before.
The game is ugly, hideous even, it looks like something i would expect from a 3d action game available at dlsite.
It's still pretty good if you manage to get past that.
SOTN is also clunky as hell then
Why are all these shills getting assblasted about this game? It was made for people who wanted an Igavania game, and that's exactly what we got.
If you can tolerate how amateurish it looks then yes, it's pretty great.
It's literally SotN with an OoE coat of paint.
>wannabe tortanic posters trying to find a new game to hate on that's actually good
seethe
Autism.
Nobody's assblasted besides the dilating weirdos like you who are passive-aggressively defending this game. If you can't admit that it looks ugly, why shouldn't people be suspicious of the praise you're giving it?
Projecting so hard.
>everyone that disagrees with me is a tranny
lmaoing @ ur lyfe
Alright I know you can jump further with the shoes but how the hell do I jump higher to get up there?
I don't know why people rally so hard to defend the kickstarter OC shit, that shit is genuinely sickening and I'm a Bloodstained backer.
Its solid, it's really unpolished though. Lots of weird bugs, janky hit boxes, etc. Biggest gripe with the game so far is that the variety of weapons doesn't really matter, and you can't switch weapons without going into a menu for the enemies where it does matter (armored enemies).
Also the magic is super OP, makes the game Ez mode
despite the world design being shit i think YL does look better while still being on fucking Unity
>dilating
stop posting
Get double jump and dive kick off an enemy
If the user is here that is looking for the ring that raises critical hit damage, it's in the inferno area as pictured
why are all of the kickstarter spiritual sequels so bad? literally why? it's happened four times now.
Real question here, how the fuck did Shovel Knight succeed so hard? I mean I love that game but I don't understand why every developer on earth has such a boner for him.
Not a complaint. I just want to understand.
>people liking things is rallying now, the zeitgeist scares me mommy! why do people enjoy things?!
Not skeletons
>liking the shitty meme enemies like the dog and the cat
So it's just retards being contrarian for attention, got it. At least the people that backed Pillars of Eternity shit on the backer characters.
He's a symbol of a successful kickstarter, probably the only one.
Because the developers are all old and had to resort to crowdfunding to get any projects going. The writing was on the wall since the beginning. They're out of creative steam and are just getting their final self-plugs for one last drop of fame in before they retire. Can't say I totally blame them but yeah, there was no way any of these would turn out great.
>all of this seething that people don't like the OC do not steal shit
Wow, almost thought this was leddit for a minute, normally the defending of kickstarter OC is done on leddit.
Yeah that's exactly what I said you denial filled bellend.
Yes, were very insecure about these things so please understand
so which is the least buggy version 1.00, 1.02, or 1.03?
where do i go after acquiring double jump and beating the dragon at the tower
Paying full price for nintendo ds game. Yikes.
>AND it would've been less expensive to do it in 2D
In what world do you live in?
Why are you so fucking mad?
Well it was a relatively big success but it's not as big as the cameos would have you believe. Yacht Club just has a policy to say yes to anyone who asks to use the character, since they see him as belonging to everyone given that his game was a crowdfunded project. Shovel Knight sold 2 million in 4 years, great for an indie but not exactly setting the world on fire. For comparison, Hollow Knight sold 2.8 million in 2 years. I don't even need to mention fucking Undertale.
if you dont like the game then fuck off
can we have a nice bloodstained thread for once ffs
calling you a bitch for getting mad about something =/= defending it
>defend it
>NO ACTUALLY I WASN'T DEFENDING IT
>tfw the backer shit from this and Pillars of Eternity 1 killed kickstarter for me
Ah well.
attacking you is not defending the thing you're against
I enjoy this game and have the critical thinking skills to both appreciate and dislike aspects of it because my brain is capable of lateral thinking.
Ask me how huge my penis is, protip: the answer is very.
Because it's literal garbage content in a great game?
Have to buy another $50 Xbox controller because the batteries inside leaked acid into the circuit, now my pc doesn't detect it.
yeah can we discuss how empty the music is and how dust and old the gameplay is and how weak the visuals are and how boring the overall map is?
Further to the right on the map you need the tincture for creating photos so you get the ID.
Game is legit amazing once you get double jump
How's the Classicvania mode?
yacht club says yes to every cameo and it's become a meme to do it
Devs should stop on their own accord then
Shovel Knight becoming a meme is horrible
Anyone know what drops fiend fangs? I need one to upgrade my Durandal.
>Hollow Knight sold 2.8 million in 2 years
that's fucking crazy
did not realize it was that popular
I got the moon blade or whatever it is, where do I find not-death
>find new gear that's better
>it's ugly
>Undertale
Who cares what autistic little kids took towards
seething bloodstained cuck
>very cute familiar singing
you have to cut the moon when it turns red during the gebel fight
I think he actually fits, Castlevania has always had armor characters with different weapons, if this was Shovel Knight's only appearance no one would bat an eye.
You're the one who looks like an autistic little kid when you get triggered by someone mentioning a game's monetary success without saying anything about its quality.
KITTIES AND DOGGIES WITH BOWS IN THEIR HEAD AND NOW THIS????? [basedface intensifies]
alright now where's the fucker hiding after that
Ok, what the fuck do i with the photo ID?
I can't access the train station.
I only have the double jump.
I beat the twin tower dog shitters.
Where the fuck do i go?
Not to mention enemies like the Waiter Skeleton
Mr. Librarian
this, I'm fucking stuck
Speak to Alucard
Miriam is 18, she was sleeping for 10 years... so her mental age is fucking 8 yo, why the fuck is no one talking about this?
OD?
there's an area in the garden you go to, near the top
Use rhe shortcuts
Nice to know you didnt play the fucking game faggot
Nobody brought up monetary value my guy
She skipped from 4th grade to Senior year, that won't do well in japan, school is important.
Oi, where the tittie mods at?
what do you mean
No titty mods, no buy.
Always a negative fuckin nancy.
Be glad that we have an actual fucking videogame to play besides Fortnite tier trash.
The player character already has big tits
man... i hope the switch version doesn't play/look like shit...
Wrong thread bud.
Why do cucks keep calling this game ugly? It’s not the most beautiful game ever but it’s certainly not ugly.
I want some uncensored nipples, i want naked statues, i want bottom/top less costumes, i want succubus enemies. All the good shit that makes me buy that game, basically. Is it at least mod able?
It's fun to play, I like it.
She's 28 and slept for 10 years without aging, dumbass.
No she was 18 when she was out to sleep. Her body was frozen in time for 10 years that’s why Gebel is so much older. She theoretically should be 28
Why not just play an H-game
Bad gameplay.
The game just released, be patient, a blessed artist will eventually be motivated to work on it.
it's okay to like an ugly game user
>value
The word was success
Are you perhaps new to this site? There are literal Castlevania porn parodies that have identical gameplay to Castlevania but with H-scenes.
>he doesn't know
Where in the motherfuck do I find beast milk? It's gating my cooking hard
I know them all. I ain't looking to fap to it. Playing games with lewd visuals is just some sort of foreplay before i get heavily into any of the latest dlsite releases.
t. dilating
The cows in garden of silence drop it
Have sex
more like shitstained lol
Thank you
where the fuck do I have to go after the hand boss
Can anyone confirm if there's any actual drawback of carrying a shit ton of shards? The game keeps hinting that it's a bad idea but I haven't seen a reason not to 100% this shit. Also the "bad ending" seems to be like SotN where you have to do side shit before fighting a specific boss, not having too many shards.
the fairy is cute tho
streamable.com
>looks like poop
>graphics overhaul
>looks like shit
This is almost as dumb as the ‘Pokemon should have stayed 2D’ dumbasses
So far the number of shards impacts dialogue options. If you have enough and get the bad ending you get an alternate version that will give a trophy. I heard that having no shards will impact some stuff as well.
To the horse and carriage so he can carry you
IGA did a good job with the designs.
I've seen zero complaints about Miriam, Gebel, Alfred, Ezekiel and Bloodlesss.
fpbp
Question: Where is Gremory? I need to kill her.
When can I start turning my miriam into a slut?
read the sword
Sir, you write with a juvenile facade of superiority while tangentially projecting very specific insults (perhaps stemming from your own personal life); however you fails to deliver any sort of purpose in your words wherein you had immediately resorted to ad-hominem attacks at a comment that had shown just the slightest distaste towards your waifubait game. How feeble are you when a couple of 5 worded comments send you into such an aimless tirade?
this.
>avenge the death of TREVOR
>avenge the death of MARIA
Hmmmmmmmm it's almost like he has a grudge or something.
Backers are the scum of the earth.
>We funded this game there we have to right to ruin the experience for everyone playing while we jerk off to ourselves
I did I'm at the dragon tower but can't find anything
Fairy made for headpats.
Oh stop
The people whining about the portraits are the same ones who would replace the images with anime girls without a second thought, consistency be damned.
I mean, its the fault of the creators for creating retarded backer incentives that ruin the game's aesthetic.
Keep searching. The tower area leads to a library like area which has the next important boss and power up
t. pseudo-sesquipedalian
I don't see the problem. I find them hilarious especially the fact that you beat the shit out of them
that's a leap and a half.
I can't go further because I need some double jump ability
Where are the mods to remove the backer shit
When will the Shovel Knight dickriding end?
It was an okay game that stole it's gimmick from Ducktales it does not deserve to keep showing up the way it does.
In fact, I kinda hope their next game bombs. Maybe then people will realize Shovel Knight was a one hit wonder and the honeymoon period will be over.
Also Wtf alucard is in this game. Same voice and everything, they aren't being clever.
how important is dismantling? I don't like breaking things that I might need later or something, but I wonder if some shit can only be acquired through dismantling
stop use big words
You missed a path. The boss and a save room should be very nearby.
Your gonna take a leap if you don't watch it
>Neckbeard on the left
>S0ib0i on the right
Why do narcissists have to ruin everything?
Anyone else having sound issues with the gog release? The audio turns crispy whenever Miriam talks or attacks for me...
What is the best weapon in the game and why is it the toy boots
The fact that I know the word sesquipedalian is a sign that I do indeed enjoy big words. I just don't like when they're really blatantly forced.
ok I think I got it thanks
didnt know I had to interact with the books
It cheapens the experience and can be really immersion breaking, especially when they do it in RPGs. There you are, minding yuour own business, fully engrossed in your game, and at the worst moments, there's the face of Actual Dickbag McGreasefilth staring back at you, mocking you and gloating about how much his cornball ass donated to have the game you're playing made. It's bullshit.
You niggers are really desperate for this game to be a flop
So what's the best way to inject filters on top of this game to make it look better?
>caring about stupid shit like aesthetics and lore in a fucking video game when GAMEPLAY is the only thing that matters
If the gameplay is good who gives a shit about this other shit
Have you considered pretending the backer is an actual character in that games universe? Not so bad now is it little chum
>Portraits of chinks, spics and gooks everywhere
I hope you don't think americans are white or "pure"
Why not just learn how to use a pak editor and mod them out? Oh wait you're a shitter who would rather cry on Yea Forums
Impossible. Way too lifelike.
gameplay is 100% worthless without things to make it interesting
Why is Yea Forums so fucking stupid all the time?
Dilate
Castlevania always had silly enemies. This is better than gargoyle/dragonman #578833.
not an argument
Shut it, chucklefuck. Don't you have a streamer to donate to and anime porn to commission? Go back to doing that.
>need to go see the woman bathing in blood
>nobody there
where the fuck is she
Also wtf is the point of the key rooms, are they kickstarters?
Force the meme more Daddy
Aside from Benjamin's third location and the chest really close to him in Ching Chong lab, are there any other uses for Dimensional shift in the normal castle itself?
wannabe-tortanic fags will shit on literally anything for literally any reason
If the graphics were good they would call it style over substance garbage
They're always the same variation of nu-male though instead of just an average looking person
Maybe next time you'll take out the batteries instead of letting them rot.
swing and a miss
Average people don't back games you cretin
I dunno. Planewalkers are a thing.
LIKE IN THE GAME YOU POSTED.
>when GAMEPLAY is the only thing that matters
OOOH HE SAID IT EVERYONE CLAP
He even put it in caps so nobody would miss their cue for applause!
I honestly couldn't tell if the antagonist is a man or a woman.
That dude has so many feminine features, he looks more passable than natural born females.
>Yea Forums shits on guacamelee for months because memes
>Yea Forums gives bloodstained a pass even though it has memes and backer insertions
Why is it always okay if Japan does it?
The devs put the incentives in there and personally I like that the game has clear indicators that it was a community backed project.
The game also has a power strip sword. It's not that big of a deal.
The sequel will probably be missing a lot of this stuff, for what it's worth.
Yeah but that means your "trick" still doesn't work retard
>WTF A GIANT CAT HEAD THIS IS SO DUMB THIS IS NOT MY CASTLEVANIA
Looks like the Chinese Trico bootleg.
>Still waiting on my PS4 code
My what?
seriously, do these people think they're smart? they aren't even right, aesthetics are an integral part of the gameplay.
>sequel
Sequel? Yeah see you in 2027.
They're literally just repeating one of the safest opinions on this board. They even have the same replies and strawmen everytime you call them out for being stupid and not impressing anyone
>aesthetics are an integral part of the gameplay
what
They've said they want this to be a franchise and as far as we can tell, it's doing pretty well. I think a sequel is almost certainly in the cards (unless Iga gets sniped back by Konami to make a new CV.)
>immersion
In a game where your main character can wear elf ears, a dio mask, change the color of her skin to blue put on a santa hat or wear a FUCKING ZUBAZ MASK. Yeah no. fuck off. I get the backer portraits are stupid but there's equally stupid shit in the game by default.
>aesthetics are an integral part of the gameplay.
wait what?
>alll digital future
Hahahaha
This is why I love physical media
Game looks alright, I don't get why this board suddenly jerks off over it though, it's not that impressive.
>he's still crying because he got called out
Aren't there like 3 playable characters? Why is nobody talking about the other two?
i think its just the fact that it was a kickstarter backer reward thats triggering the autists.
I honestly just picked it cause it was the cheapest option.
you have to look at and hear the game
it has to be more than hitting buttons when prompted
>waiting for my physical copy to be shipped
You don't know what gameplay is?
I don't feel like the cat would even stand out honestly, if not for that. It looks fine in game to me.
The Westie head is a bit ridiculous looking but I think it's hilarious in a good way. The game doesn't take itself too seriously and I enjoy that.
>Use summon bat
>A huge ass bat comes out
Any other stuff like this on shards? Is that like a “critical” spell?
where the fuck do I go after getting double jump? looking for the small passage ability/how to bypass the iron maiden traps
What bothers me the most is the animu uguu tier complete fucking garbage design of the main character. She looks fucking awful and her idle animation is absolutely retarded. It feels like it's pandering to 40 year old virgins.
>as a pixel “”””” artist”””””
OH NONONO HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Why are people acting like the Igavanias never had a bunch of goofy "immersion-breaking" shit in them. The goofiness is part of the charm of Castlevania.
Not out yet
Go ahead, define gameplay for us all.
>Stating that the most important aspect of a game is the most important and should take precedence over minor things like aesthetics/lore/etc. Is a safe opinion and should be disregarded
Go to the tower and fight the dragon
Then go to the nun and have your picture taken
Then go to alucard who tells you having fun isn't hard when you have a identity card
Then go to the train
she's a dud. every design choice in this game is dull and uninspired.
Overwhelmingly positive on steam. These faggots will trash anything
the method or fashion in which the player interacts with a game
Yeah I guess so, but imagine how many people have to go through the same trial and error and buy second controllers, Microsoft makes rich bank from peoples innocent mistakes.
This game sometimes runs like trash on the one x. The train level runs like shit and the game itself will sometimes hitch and pause when walking through the game in certain areas.
When it is used as a dismissive response to criticism against other aspects of a game, then yes, it should be disregarded.
If a random pic of a backer ruins your experience then maybe gaming isn't for you user
I'm not following this entire argument but in this one area he's right. Consider factors such as being able to differentiate between things quickly and easily, visual indicators, and in some games draw distance
>less expensive
Brainlet.
How do I beat the 8-bit boss?
I thought Zangetsu was supposed to be in at launch?
Okay but that doesn't matter to me. I could not give less of a damn about how many people like something. Popularity has nothing to do with quality. I want qualitative observations, not quantitative ones.
FYI game currently has a bug that results in you not being able to loot the item for the photo machine. Make sure you rotate your saves to avoid playing the whole game over
>also not swift enough to just use google
the fuck?
>>"GAMEPLAY is the only thing that matters"
>>"Stating that the most important aspect of a game is the most important and should take precedence over minor things like aesthetics/lore/etc."
nice backpedaling you faggot, you really shouldn't post pictures of yourself on this website
One thing I noticed though, where are the skeles? I don’t think I’ve come across one in the game
"Gameplay" according to you gnats is essentially a series of button prompts. There is no reason to play a bland formula game when there are thousands of games that have actual effort and care put into the graphics and story.
post them, i wanna see them
>"Gameplay" according to you gnats is essentially a series of button prompts.
Chinks would throw a fit if any where included
Why the fuck would I play Zangetsu?
The brute attacked Miriam without provocation.
>the tactical aspects
>as distinct from the graphics and sound effects
>graphical features like dynamic lighting and sound effects like footsteps which allow you to notice enemy presence before actually seeing them are not considered gameplay according to this definition
Googletards should fuck right off back to youtube.
Imagine being this retarded
>GAMEPLAY is the only thing that matters
Incorrect. Imagine how unplayable a game wherein every entity is a grey rectangle would be. You wouldn't know what's what.
ouch, I'm definitely pirating this shit
WHEN DO I GET TO CHANGE MY APPEARANCE?
You don't like the game just go fuck off back to meatboy and IWBTG.
so the main reason you're seething because the portraits arent obese neckbeards like you, imagine being such a bitch
Fucking hell mate gameplay is literally how the game plays, not the graphics, not the audio, not the story, the game play, it’s almost like the word was made for that specific description
you think people here actually played castlevania?
lol
You can't see or hear gameplay, you idiot. It's mechanics. It's the concept of how something plays. Dumbfuck redditor.
How do you get blood bitch to show up?
that tree looks like shit, just a big green ball with leaves
How do you reach the top right part of the ship(the one you can almost reach with the big log "bridge")? I can't reach it with the double jump
There are no skeletons at all because of all the Chink funding this game got and Skeletons are a big no no in Chinkland.
You have been saying that for months
>99.2%
I still don't have the celeste key, and for some reason I never got the recipe to make grandma her stupid fucking spaghetti
Bad end I think I fought Gebel early cause the game just ended. Is there more than one bad end?
There's:
>Killing Gebel
>Killing Gebel after you get the Zangetsuto
how do I get past the room at the entrance with all the spikes? am I missing an ability after getting invert?
Why are you not pirating every game
Anyone? Steam says to turn off vsynch but that did not fix the problem.
No people are usually not retarded. I've had my controller for 9 years now and it still works fine
Imagine this loli giving you a handie haha
Holy shit that is retarded. Hopefully this isn’t the future of games. Rewards like this for backing make them look so desperate and it totally kills the vibe of them game.
>what you haven’t heard the classical tale of the cursed house pet? It’s an ancient legend.
Find spike armor
What about a hypothetical game wherein using a flashlight is a significant part of playing it?
>Missing one shard
>Enemy isn't anywhere in the area the game says it's in
Anyone know where these little fuckers are?
I'm still missing the pasta, too. I'm guessing either a reward from Abigail, which I haven't finished either, or it was in one of the chests that 1.02 broke.
I realized she only exists to run the shop after Dominique becomes a bitch
what the fuck are you even talking about?
They spawn randomly around
I noticed that inside the Ghosts are skulls (show up occasionally when you kill them.) Otherwise they've been left out because China has cultural issues with skeletons.
they float around in the lower, beginning area of the towers.
>immediately goes for the strawman again
lmao retard
he's not the only one now, but he's certainly the biggest icon of successful indie Kickstarters
now if only King of Cards would come out.
>get the flying sword
>game is now easy mode
someone needs to tell Shiki to draw Bloodless.
is it like the heaven sword in castlevania?
Did you propose to your boyfriend after he saw his portrait in the game?
I bet he opened his mouth the widest it’s ever been! :0
oh, I found that and never checked what it did.
I just ended up tanking all the damage in the room with the power of pizza. good to know I didn't sequence break!
I don't know I never played castlevania, it's like a light saber throw in star wars
Pretty much, Shovel Knight is just the mascot and symbolic for being one of the first indie crowd funded games to actually succeed while also not being some kind of indie pretentious trash which at that time were flooding the market while "retro platformers" were considered low rent by these "creatives". It helps his design and gimmick is great branding potential and recognizable on its own merit rather than being force fed to us like Mighty was trying.
yeah, you throw it out and it flies back, can hit multiple times. You can upgrade it later too.
There's also a faux Crissaegam but it stinks because you get it really early, I assume there's a stronger, more true one.
Spike armor isn't the right thing. Spike armor is, however, incredibly useful because it pops candles upon touching, which that + high luck gives you a steady stream of money.
what does curse do to enemies in this game?
>it stinks
I would like to wholeheartedly disagree with you. Granted, just got the doublejumpu, but that little fucker makes mincemeat out of things.
If it's distance and not height, you could try the kick technique. You can do it three times to make you travel pretty far midair.
lmao discount already and its only been one day!
>I have better shit to do!
Says the guy posting on Yea Forums
Why isn't there a "remove cuck portraits" option? Why should paying customers be subjected to seeing some fucking faggots in the game that completely ruin the backgrounds?
>upgraded flying sword can be thrown two at a time
sweet
i remember it was just yesterday when the shills insisted the game was good and today they're already leaving in droves and the few left are doing damage control
lmao
>Bloodless
>Naked lady with skintight bodypaint blood
I'm shocked the usual crowd didn't bitch.
i'm thinking konami may have been right putting this dusty ass gameplay to bed
For you
Yesterday I was saying the game would be shit because of 2.5D and shitty animations, but I'm having fun
just wait for the "remove faggotry" mod, faggot
looks cool, is torrent out?
Does the CODEX copy out include the big patch?
damn. it's 2005 and that looks fricken sweet.
Wanted to play Curse of the Moon before trying this. It feels like a more forgiving Castlevania and it's fucking great. Only thing is, is it supposed to feel EXACTLY like Castlevania? Because it kinda does.
The goddamn frogs on the bridge are giving me flashbacks.
4/5 game.
>WOMEN WILL SLEEP ME BECAUSE OF MY GAMEPLAY
kek
Yes, it's supposed to play and feel like Dracula's Curse.
I hope you're playing in veteran mode otherwise kill yourself.
You will find a barber relatively soon, he changes hairstyles and Miriam's colors.
i never beat the thunder boss
Good news, there IS an upgrade, should be doable around chinatown. You need four Rhava Bural's though. It doesn't even really get any stronger (only 2 points) but it 'swings' 4 times per attack.
How do you use the "recipes" you get? I got shit for cookies and healing items but no one does anything with them. Barber atleast took the hairstyles right away.
i noticed this too, most topics yesterday were positive and they're getting sour and sourer the more people actually play the game
in any case its decent but only worth 15 dollars, not more
>people actually play casual mode
Having partners essentially doubles your lives. I suck at video games but I'm not THAT bad.
Whats going on with the whole corruption they keep talking about? Do I need to keep selling my shards to clearly evil church bitch to not fuck something up?
you get to wear an ugly ass mask and paint your waifu ugly rgb defaults.
Oh shit. This is just like axearmor from sotn. How do you do it
First time I saw that dog in the Bridge of Evil, it spooked the heck out of me. Probly because I didn't know what I was looking at and it was big and chasing me.
The cats are dumb tho.
So it goes from Vorpal Blade to Crissaegrim basically. Cool.
Where the hell do you get more of those? I had one early on but had to ditch it for some quest and haven't seen another since.
Same as axe armor. He drops an armor, you equip it and become Shovel Knight.
So where is that monster which gives the crawling shard, zangetsu said its in a lab but livre doesnt have it .
Drops from killer barbers
Edward scissorhands drop them
>says the retard posting on Yea Forums
And yet here you are
MY ONE GRIPW IS THE MUSIC.
it feels so non existent
Castlevania music mod WHEN? I need a mixture of sotn and aria tracks
There was a shitload of subhumans on launch playing on casual mode.
Also play the game multiple times because it has different modes.
There's different endings and gameplay features by doing that, see the achievement ending guide here:
en.magicgameworld.com
How does borrowing books work? When are you supposed to return them?
pour acid into your eyes
You can't get true end if you keep shards.
can you turn off the backer stuff? the game feels like im playing a poorly modded version
The gear tower place has a pretty sweet violin solo but the rest of the music is pretty bland. People need to stop taking soundtracks for granted. It's more important than graphics imo.
You borrow them and return when you feel like it
how many fucking swords does zangetsu 2 have?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH
>2 enemies are giant animal heads
>Out of like 120 or so
So you really have no complaints then? That's pretty reassuring.
I already know that the librarian will do a boss fight if you dont return the books.
still no DAY ONE PATCH on steam FUCK THESE DEVS
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
how do I upgrade my weapons? is it an npc I have to find? I can only upgrade fragments
HOAH
HWOAH
HYAA
turn voices off immediately
Oh, didn't know that
How do you beat this fucking faggot? Fuck this game
The only backer things are the portraits that show up near the start of it. The hell would that even achieve.
3 or 4, ice is last i think
As you get more books for Johannes your options will open up, though I think some things only show up if you actually make/own the previous component.
he's not hard if you've ever fucking fought a boss before you mongoloid
soul
Welp, the chest is empty after beating Valac. Thanks for releasing a game-breaking day 1 patch at the end of the day.
>only
Nope, there's also the shitty backer enemies and few backer areas and they ALL STICK OUT LIKE A SORE FUCKING THUMB
waiting for the stupid fucking scythe mytes to spawn because it's one of the only shards I don't have yet
you only lost five or six hours, the game is good
>This is almost as dumb as the ‘Pokemon should have stayed 2D’ dumbasses
what's the issue there
Stop being greedy. Hit twice and dodge. Also grinder blade shard tear his asshole (drops from the knights with chainsaw blades)
dogs and cat bosses are probably backed bosses, and they ruin the atmosphere a bit
>Bunnymorphosis
does this game has multiple endings?
a chick npc told me to sell my extra shards because muh corruption or some shit
what? like I'm supposed to not use shards ever or something? or just sell them before last battle or what?
This slut is kicking my ass. how do I make her stop restoring HP?
TO DO MODS
-Replace backer portraits with lore friendly
-Mod in CV music
-A good shader mod or enb
Also whats in the game as of now. Do we havr multiplie characters or is that coming later?
I see at least two secret spots your missing. One in the Underground Lab, the other in the Termination place. Check near the teleport points
why are zoomers so desperate to shit on this game?
Sell them.
>Mod in CV music
Maybe. I rather enjoy the OST. It's still Michiru Yamane.
-nopan for miriam's main costume
>remove game
>play a castlevania game instead
there, fixed.
only a zoomer has standards low enough for this babby-tier shit
stop posting
As far as I know this is a lie. Your shards don't affect the ending.
ok sorry :(
I only died like 5 times and I skipped a lot of rooms and sell all my potions. Just be patient and attack when you absolutely know you're safe.
stop feeding him. That's how all the problems go away. People just stop responding to obvious baitposters who are looking to flame rather than discuss. If you can't distinguish them, then we're all fucked.
Is it true that you need a controller with analog sticks to play this game? What a bummer.
seething
help
What to do after getting zangetsu's sword? going to the room where the red room was doesn't help at all
Nobody fucking uploaded the GoG release? What the fuck is wrong with you people.
no you can play on mouse+keyboard just fine
Is it true you don't have a controller with two analog sticks for your PC in 2019? What kind of homosex are you?
>him
I'm addressing two people
If you want to use controller, yes, you absolutely need at least a right stick. You don't need a left one.
but puppies and kitties match this game's hot topic aesthetic perfectly
I don't play games that require analog sticks. They're gay.
Have Invert? Go to the elevator and enter this tower area, then Invert.
Like the pessimist I am I'm going to worry myself to death that they screw up my foreign address until I actually get it in my mail.
How do I turn off the minimap
Does anyone in here remember what was in the chest in the room that was across from the Oriental Sorcery Lab? It was already opened when I got there, and I'm kinda curious.
Open the fuill map, check the Minimap Editor option at the bottom.
>replace the images with anime girls
Mods when? also nude mode for Miriam and sexy outfits please while your at it
>DOGS AND CATS RUIN THE ATMOSPHERE
>Oho a bunnygirl!
You guy's are hypocrite fags
her main outfit was made for nopan
>get reflector ray
>excited to go back to all those spots that needed it
>all i find are shortcuts or deadends
Alright, I'm at a loss. Can someone point me in the right direction? I should've marked every one of these spots, since I've been meandering about for hours looking for where to go next.
help, I beat doppleganger and now I have no clue what to do
I love the double jump and the Rider Kick. I love that i'm still able to do this like I did it in AoS.
I don't think even half of this thread even plays Castlevania games, we had stuff like Kamen Rider Skeleton, modern maids, and DIO the boss for years.
Remember to do it ten times for the cheevo.
So since Inafune turned out to be the vidya equivalent of Vince Russo what does that make Iga?
The upper portions of Livre Ex Machina, like across from OD's room. There were also a few spots in Dian Cecht Cathedral, west of the friendly barber.
favorite weapons so far? im a big fan of the boots with the knife in them for the special attack but im pretty early on.
Did Gebel own a couch store? Why are there so many fucking couches save points.
>Skeletons, maids, and vampires

>Childless wh*Te s0ibois in their 30s and their furbabies
Hmm, I wonder which one fits the lore better.
They're a bunch of waifufags and a grand total of 2 castlevania games started a girl, are you surprised? Even counting Maria and Charlotte, that's only 4 games out of 2 dozen
HEY FUCKERS WHERE DO I FIND BLACK PEPPER
we could've had sexy succubus enemies in the game, what were those backers thinking?
how can you say that the detractors don't even play castlevania games when it's pretty obvious these threads attract weebs from Yea Forums who don't know SHIT about vidya. get the fucking tourists OUT. this game is mediocre and you know it.
Is the gameplay worth it at least?
I really dont like the look of the 3D enviroments and the main character.
>Whining about people being heterosexual when two of the things I mentioned weren't even girls.
Hmm...
You really need to go outside user, trannies aren't even 1% of the population.
>start game on hard
>die in tutorial
wasnt expecting that
>trannies aren't even 1% of the population.
they are on the net
Thanks, would have taken a lot longer if I had to figure out how they spawn on my own.
>That minimap
OH NO NO NO
I panicked at the first fucking Dullahammer and died to it three times. Then I learned not to be so impatient in killing its ass.
The game was kickstarted in 2015, they're simply living up to a promise from 4 years ago.
Nobody actually gives a shit about Shovel Knight anymore.
Whats the best way to farm money to buy the bit coins? i need to buy the 16 bit coin
They will be more at this point. Ego is one hell of drug. And narcissism is the greatest sin of the modern west.
There;s allegedly a succubus costume.
I want to mating press Carabosse
?
It seems like Hard and Nightmare were actually made with NG+ in mind.
For anyone who's beaten it, how does NG+ work? What do you keep and can you switch to another difficulty on your next playthrough?
Game makers toolkit is streaming this game and ripping it apart for how mediocre it is right now. He died a bunch on the galleon level. He also said hollow knight is better than super metroid and symphony. Is it true bros
Y'know, I will say this in defense of the backer paintings: They make sense in-world.
The castle is a merging of some castle from hell with the headquarters of the Alchemy guild.
Obviously these are not portraits of demonic nobility. They're a bunch of alchemy nerds.
You can make it smaller, transparent, move it or turn it off if you want. Not sure what your point is.
The frozen area is actual cancer
>lets add cannons that shoot tiny enemies at you!
>lets put them in hallways!
>lets also put a bunch of other enemies in those hallways!
>He died a bunch on the galleon level.
Oh lol.
Is it true there's still a treasure chest bug? I haven't played my save from yesterday yet because I'm waiting for them to fix it.
LMAOOOOOOOO he said the no-no words. that is so fucking funny. fuck i love when people say that shit its so funny. "chink" LMFAO so based...but i bet if they put more white people in this game less people would be mad.
Is it good?
But we do have sexy succubus and sexy bunnygirls, what are you talking about?
I killed Gilbert and got a bad ending
what do I need to do? cant seem to be able to go anywhere, I either need to swim or fly and I cant do neither
What bug?
MUUH DICKKK
OP is a fag, but this is pretty much the least of the reasons why.
Go fuck yourself.
Who?
I also don't get why Hollow Knight keeps being brought into this discussion. It's not the same type of game. Other than a sprawling map, character progression is completely different.
yup on ps4 only
No, Hollow Knight sucks.
Someone said some treasure chests are spawning already open and empty, including one that contains a key item you get after killing a boss.
Is the one succubus enemy in the laboratory level a backer enemy?
I seem to recall she had a name and some OC'ish description.
Where is alucard, i've spoken to everyone in the basement but can't find him
It only affects consoles. Some people who started the game before the 1.02 patch have an issue where unopened chests spawn open and vice versa, making the game impossible to finish.
Since Steam and GOG launched with the patch, it's not an issue there.
How the hell do you die in the Galleon?
>Game makers toolkit
Oh he is one of those "intellectual" youtubers, that answers that.
Where do I go after I killed blood lady. I need to swim somehow.
Thats a pretty shitty costume.
That cat scared the shit out of me first time I saw it
There's another moon in the game
think hard
I find this game kinda easy on normal...like, boring easy.
Once you start abusing shortcut slots, upgrade the hand to do damage and start stacking quick swing item on heavy weapons you put out so much damage at once that everything becomes trivial.
library area shortcut is bugged for me
if I go up the stairs I lowered, the screen is just black
He's in the laboratory level where you got the double jump.
If you beat the boss there, you were right near him.
Once screen below the fast travel room, I think.
OD, the book guy
Cool game, igatards.
clips.twitch.tv
Not a costume, one of the shards transforms you into a bunny enemy.
Castlevania games were always easy as fuck on normal difficulty. You can name the savefile "nightmare" to unlock harder difficultiess, which they should've put as unlocked by default without having to complete the game.
Can someone help me? Stuck on the underwater area and have no idea how to go through the waters, is there any swimming shard?
Go back to the underwater caverns and look for an entrance to hell, you dummy.
Hollow Knight is mechanically alright but extremely bland in every other way.
Why the fuck did they lock the difficulty out at the start...
The guy's laughing, isn't he?
Castlevania's supposed to be an easy game basically. That gives you the freedom to fuck around with all of the different weapons and shards even if they're not the best.
help
where do you go after getting the hand power? I have jumped over the broken bridge, but after that I'm stumped
I can go to the towers, but can't get up all the way
there's a new area with movable bookcases, but I can't go anywhere there either
the train station is locked
and the caves are all dead ends too
There is an enemy you can on the water kill to get a directional shard to push you deep into water. It's not the fish, it's some sort of jellyfish.
thanks, got the ID
>libtard game makers toolkit dies a bunch on the first fucking level/stage
fucking embarrassing, reminds me of that joseph anderson THE TOWN IS MAKING HIM STUPID clip
>dying on the galleon
Opinion discarded.
Get the shards from the white jellyfish enemies (Deresame, or something like that), that'll let you propel yourself through the water. You'll get a shard later that lets you actually walk underwater.
If you don't see those enemies anywhere, then you aren't far enough in the game yet.
I killed that jellyfish enemy to get a water stream attack that allows you to dive. Not sure whether that was the correct path.
That I'm not sure of, but the user I replied said it as if the game didn't have a succubus enemy, which clearly isn't true.
I really don't like the art style of the game and enemy design.
My character model doesn't have a head while in the inventory. Is that supposed to be normal?
Nope. Just another bug to add to the list of bugs
>there's a new area with movable bookcases, but I can't go anywhere there either
Stay in this area. You should fight a boss for the double jump.
But he also dislikes Symphony of the Night.
Why would he even bother if this game is just trying to be that?
Topless Miriam stretch goal, I guess.
Bone Mortes are possessing humans and turned them into skeletons
Open up the Demons archive and see for yourself
>He died a bunch on the galleon level
Isn't that the fucking tutorial? How the fuck did he fail at the tutorial?
Reward for 100% completion on shards is infinite MP glasses; you need all crafted shards as well for it, hard mode has different enemy placement as well but you have to beat it for nightmare, which I am assuming is lvl1 mode considering all the stat upgrades you can get.
Also be sure to finish your map completion and quest completion before starting NG+; it resets all progress so I don't know if there's a reward for either; NG+ map does have a light blue map of what you traveled in the previous playthrough(s) though
just happened to me too
He said he dislikes symphony? Why does anyone listen to this nugamer? I remember he said Her Story is one of the best games of all time
Because the game isn't designed for a first playthrough on Hard or Nightmare and they don't want people picking them thinking it'll be like a normal game where it just ups enemy HP the having to restart when they realize their mistake.
The game is actually pretty tough on those difficulties.
Who?
When was I supposed to fight Bloodless? I already got the bad end with Gebel. Did I miss her?
I finished the game and defeated Gebel but I got a game over screen. What did I miss and what should I do?
But there's nowhere to go there, it ends with a room with a small opening in a wall I can't get through.
It only happens in pirated copies of the game, based Iga BTFOing the poorfags
Hope I don't run into this. I think most people can just restart and it fixes itself but one person said it was stuck that way.
