Bloodstained

Not only it was inferior in every way to Hollow Knight; it's pretty much Mighty No. 10.
Steam shows high player numbers but those are backers in heavy denial forcing themselves through the game rather than drop it.

>An inferior product is released
>"It's... it's not competing!"

Everytime

A smash thread died for this

Bloodstained has had nonstop threads on this board ever since it came out and has been very successful from the looks of things

the fuck you talking about i've seen multiple threads all day

There have been threads all day and its bed time in the free world.

Music is bad

good, smash needs a containment board

>inferior
>when mechanically and in some ways even graphically, Bloodstained blows Hollow Knight and its three moves and out of the water

But go ahead, tell me all about how that little slash effect in front of your sprite is the most exciting shit ever

That's extremely subjective.
As someone who wanted a genuine successor to Castlevania I'm very pleased.

It's almost like people are still playing the game instead

Scrumptious!

Eh, I thought it was a tad better than Hollow Knight actually. That game is overrated as shit. Sure as fuck wasn't better than SOTN or Aria/Dawn of Sorrow though.

Tell me about the Celeste Room

fuck off nigger, people are actually playing it instead of fawning here on shill and twitter boards

>He said it like this game have complex combo
Fucking retard, this is is even easier than Hollow Knight because enemies are fucking mongoloids that doesn't have a brain.

Are there any mods other than the nude mod?

Hollow Knight's just boring to me; one weapon type, a couple of spells, the combat never changes up beyond the first hour. At least with Bloodstained you can keep changing weapons/equipment to try out different playstyles and go through areas that are visually different

But Hollow Night is an overrated mess

I feel bad for Japan. 404 really fucked up.

I really want that datamine shit to be a red herring so that we get an actual OD mode complete with DARK METAMORPHOSIS and bat transformations. The latter was really missing from the main game in a bad way

Explain. I can understand feeling its overrated but there isn't anything messy about the game.

Any good nude mods yet?

I know its sotn which they intended but nothing much. There are couple things and thats it. Tbh i was expecting actual armor, instead just icon and status. Only 2-3 armors have appearance. Other than that, transmogrification system like diablo 3.

Shanoa will luckily just be a dress. Aradia will take longer because her outfit is more complex and her hairstyle isn't in the game. Also, hopefully, Aradia's mod will just be a big lump installer that changes english Miriam's voice to japanese so I can still hear Snake and Alucard.

>talking shit about my friend pedro

It does.
Also I hear Nightmare is actually surprisingly well balanced since it relies less on the usual “give enemies more health and make them hit like a truck” strategy and more on locking you at level 1 forcing you to think on your feet and adapt with different shards for every enemy encounter. You’re also able to keep up on health if you know where the powerups are.

Does this work, you fucking degenerate?

The first time I equipped the screaming phantom lady shard, Miriam's head fucking disappeared and I got stuck in the menu forever. Also had the water bug this user mentioned happen to me once. Other than that, a couple words are not there in a couple dialogue windows. Relatively little in 20 hours time.

I wish they would fix items dropped from the enemies getting stuck in the geometry and being impossible to collect though.

Do I play hard normal or nightmare on a first run?

I don't understand why Switchfags love to downgrade from PC to Nintendo's shitty tablet. And I'm not just talking about Bloodstained.
I think they're worse than Sonyfags. At least they hold PC in contempt instead of publicly bash PC while playing on it like a Christian preacher secretly fucking transsexual prostitutes.

does anyone know what enemy gives you the Bovine plume item?

that item alongside the doublejump shard can be crafted into thre super jump shard.

yeh, its a whole lot better when you get it too

i feel they shouldve started with a double jump and gave you a third through an ability

Don't reply to it

Just a heads up, there's a bug that totally fucks your MP when you hit anywhere near 999 total MP. When this happens, do NOT equip the Augment MND shard, or else your max MP will be permanently decreased by 50, because whoever programmed this is a fucking retard.
There is also a chance that this can happen when leveling your MND, but only if you are already near 999.

They're in the japan area

Because you need more than double jump. Platforming in this game need multiple abilities to access it.

This is a franchise Japan enjoys too so once 505 gets their shit together and releases it in Japan physically it's a game set.

20,000 people were playing it within the last hour.

For reference, Portal 2 peaked at 15k, and Hollow Knight at 10k

Its doing extremely well for a non-mass-marketed title.

So, are the other bunny attacks just a waste of time? I just unlocked the dagger throw but it eats like 25 MP at a stage where you want to stay in bunny form for as long as possible. Come to think of it, is upgrading bunnymorphosis even worth it? All you really need is the basic attack but upgrading it means more mana consumed per second, meaning less bunny time. I'm now at 5 MP/Sec and I really kinda regret it.

you seem to care
and it's not my video, keep crying for BBF.

>30 LUK

HELP ME

You dont hold the button with it user. You aim it like you would normally but while that shard is equipped the beam will start coming out. Then you just have to press the button to activate it instead of holding it down the whole time.

I like it a little bit better than Hollow Knight, honestly. I'm not saying HK is shit, either.

I don't know what Ryuko you're talking about, but if you're talking about KLK, that's your Triggernigger delusion talking. They're nothing alike.

She moves super slow in the beginning but once you get double jump you are able to dive kick and cancel the ending animation with another jump. It makes her move really fast. Before double jump she feels pretty slow though.

Thank you!

I would be up to discuss it but I think I binged it too hard and now have a splitting headache. Fuck. Don't play for 6+ hours straight man

It's just pork cutlet or something else you can cook with plume pork pretty easily.

I also think Hollow Knight is garbage. What I don't understand is why everyone cums in their pants like it's the best game ever. Was it the only metroidvania they've played or what?

you take your tower on vacation with you? Don't tell me you're a laptop gamer

Best metroidvanias on steam? No HK

Alucard because soul steal and acid mist are that overpowered imo. Without those I'd give it to Miriam.

I apparently can't read a whole 13 word sentence. Jesus christ, it's time to go to bed.

You can beat Alucard in a fight in the actual game

Well, in their respective games, Dracula and Baal both represent ultimate evils, so they're equal in that regard.

I was thinking that "Oh, maybe the revanant boss is a low-key way of saying Miriam is stronger than a normal CV protag, but then, Alucard beats Richter just as easily.

Hollow Knight is incredibly barebones for a Metroidvania and honestly is overrated as fuck.

I cannot fathom thinking Hollow Knight is bad, and yes, I'm old enough to have played SotN when it came out, but Hollow Knight is a very different sort of game.

Rabi Ribi is like a bullet hell platformer with godlike boss fights
Valdis Story is pretty solid, good combat
Momodora Reverie is good but only 5 hours long
Ori is good for platforming though pretty linear
would say La Mulana but I'm too much of a brainlet for the puzzles

What the fuck is people's obsession with Hollow Knight? It's not very good. It wants to be Dark Souls but has garbage combat with no depth and wants to be a Metroidvania but with horrible level design. It does none of its inspirations much justice, let alone excels at them. So sick of Yea Forums putting that shit on an undeserved pedestal.

>couldn't get past Bloodless
Here's a tip. Change the blood to white in the options, she is now a literal semen demon.

Bloodstained looks like shit in my opinion and it's one of the game's weakest areas for sure, but Hollow Knight was sorta meh in that regard too. The scenery gave me this constant impression that I was walking through a bunch of videogame levels where the only effort to create atmosphere and a sense of being "there" was made by plastering a background behind everything rather than designing the actual levels around a theme.

La-Mulana, but it has high requirements, it requires a brain.

Hollow Knight easily has the best exploration in the genre but its not flawless
Bloodstained covers a different itch because of the fucking huge amount of customization, the core combat is also more fun to me

scas is a massive footfag though

Is there any game I have to play before this one? Is it a standalone game or part of a series?

It's completely standalone. Go ahead and play it if you want. Have you ever played a Castlevania title from SotN onward? It's like those. 'Metroidvania,' as the genre is called. The gameplay is great fun.

So what are the best methods of beating Bloodless? I ended up cheesing her because I broke her AI when I started crouching in front of her. She kept backstepping in place and attempting to swing her umbrella at me but since I was crouching she couldn't hit me.

No, nothing.

The story of Curse of the Moon is the same characters, but non-canon (or different canon, or whatever).

1. 2 is still good, but not as good as 1.

There's a 8-bit classicvania spinoff game. Pretty damn good and you can beat it in a couple of hours.
youtube.com/watch?v=qTRohTxCRlk

It's part of a series, but the other game in said series, Curse of the Moon, shares no connection to it in terms of plot, mechanics, or really anything other than characters, general aesthetic and Castlevania heritage

Her voiceline in japanese is downright adorable.

Fuck if I know where to get it though.

It got carried hard but its art style which hipster faggots latched onto, probably baby's first metroidvania as well it's the most dumbed down shit i've seen for how hyped it is. Reminds me of Undertale fans.

It's not a BAD game, it's just not a good metroidvania. It's the most barebones entry level metroidvania, and probably for that reason people find it good whereas they'd find others tedious.

I actually don’t hate Miriam’s English voice, but I love how her Japanese VA portrayed her. It was the little things like imitating Zangetsu and crying when reuniting with the real Gebel

Poison her. Hit her hard and hit her fast, but weave in and out. You can take care of her umbrellas without thinking just by using Welcome Company. I beat her ass down hard with Stinger, Welcome Company, Silver Knight, and Riga Dohin. Once she was sufficiently poisoned, I'd switch to my hardest hitting weapon at the time and clobber her. She usually moves into you to trip you up, but you can just get behind her and wail when she's using standing attacks.

Stick close to her and double jump over her whenever you see her perform like any animation. The only attacks she has that cant be jumped over is the blood rain and the towers of blood.

Think
What shard do you get from Bloodless?
Where might you use that shard to progress?

what carries over into ng+?

The only other Bloodstained game is basically a spiritual equivalent of Castlevania 3, a 2D platformer. This one is more equivalent to the 'Igavania' Castlevania games like Symphony of the Night and Aria of Sorrow, if you played those then you'll exactly know what you're getting from this game.

Ritual of the Night provides a lot of exposition of the game's setting and character backstories through dialogue between Miriam and the NPCs.

Do the boss medals do anything?

Yep. It is these kind of things that make me unable to play dubbed versions if the original is available.

Even the carabosse song is better in japanese. It's ridiculous.

>tfw literally never seen the green skin used

Both. But you obviously play the first one first because the second is a direct sequel and spoils the first one.

Bragging rights.

Use bloodless' shard on that fountain of blood in the entrance.

>Crosscode
A man of taste, I see.

I liked it at first after getting the Dash, but I feel like it just gets really stale after a while. Just can't push myself to 100%+ it, and that's before the Godmaster shit.

My method for it was to just stick as close to her as I could, baiting out her umbrella swings and avoiding them with an easy backdash. Any time she winds up for a bit (kinda have to just get a feel for it), jump up over and crouch behind her. If you have good spacing you can dodge her blood splash attack or whatever it's called without moving, but otherwise jumping over her and then crouching helps avoid that attack and her blood typhoon. If she does the Blood Typhoon when you're far away, your best bet is to get up in the air, dive kick towards her, and hope for the best.

Equip the shard Bloodless gave you and think: "Where early on in the game have I seen a ton of blood in one area?". Use the shard there.

How does OP delete his life?

look at the before->after, you keep the double jump

Creating high jump doesn't consume Double Jump. None of the extended abilities consume their base abilities.

That's even better. Thanks anons.

>Poison
Interesting, I usually ignore status stuff since they typically don't effect bosses, at least none that I can recall in Castlevania. I'll have to keep that one in mind.

No crowd-funding. Re-use assets and touch them up. Focus primarily on quality control. Advance some of the game's mechanics, fully customizable Miriam. Make weapons evolve (they get left behind by magic.) Make a second character (male) that's playable from the beginning with paths that convene later (second playthrough lets you play as either one on the other's campaign.) More familiars (or the same amount with greater niches.) Make the characters emote during dialogue.

They could expand on the event from ten years ago
But honestly, given Curse of the Moon, I'd just make another retelling.

Plagued by enemies that literally do nothing. Oh look at me I'm shredding on a guitar. Entry level sooner tier GBA level garbage.

I can hear this image

A good number of the enemies in the game are susceptible to poison, including bosses. Bloodless is one, Alfred is another.

with big speed you can run from one side of the map to the other in about 2 and a half minutes

How do you poison enemies?

Can we get some actual 2D graphics pretty please Iga? The Shovel Knight guys did a wonderful job at that. I think if we got exactly what we did this time around with the bonus of the game not actually looking like a fucking turd, we could've gotten something really special.

Multiple locales, or a castle that changes over time. Something that adds more dynamic travel aside from just "now you have double jump". I want some new game design from a metroidvania ala La Mulana. More secrets, less grinding.

Where is this!?

Same here, when I started playing the shockwave on the ground was useful but the directional spells tend to be more useful and powerful, and the Y button shard abilities just seem to lend itself better to things like Welcome Company.

True Arrow was also quite powerful for an early shard until I got the directional explosion, that shit is fantastic.

Then don't even bother with this guy.

I would assume hitting them with a weapon or shard that deals poison.

Weapons. You can get a Stinger sword from the big titty bee enemies. You could craft Kukri into Poison Kukri. You could also make poison bullets.

the enemies in this game look great, they just need to make the backgrounds look consistently not like shit next time. also the character models

I don't give a fuck about HK because it's an ugly flash game about bugs with shit music.

Is there a room on your map with a Chest in it?
Chances are it's that chest.

Walk through the castle from the front door and take a tour of the first floor. Don't warp anywhere, just jog around. You'll figure out what you need to do.

Final boss is susceptible to TOKI YO TOMARE, so it's incredibly easy

Chest in the Underground Waterway

I don't have that

thank you my dude!

Prevents Miriam from stopping to "cast" some shards
Basically wearing it causes all shards to come out without locking her in an animation
Makes some of the bigger meme ones like thrashing tentacle actually decent

Miriam is cute and all, but considering how little character development we got, I'd have preferred to play as the cool weeb demon hunter rather than some kinda bland waifu.

We've had threads for 72 hours straight, all hitting 500. All indications it's a big time hit. Steam has it having 26,000 top players at once and 16,000 players average.

This is looking like it's sold a few hundred thousand in just a few days. That's MASSIVE for a game like this. It likely needs to sell 1 million copies to make a proit, and it'll hit that easily. I can easily see this hitting over 3 million if it cuts the price to 20 dollars.

Do you have it maxxed out yet?

Lili? Yeah, but the damage scales on Int and I can only get to like 100 int but I'm over 200 attack. So a lili kick on a high def enemy is like 70-100 but a slash is 150+

Well then pick it up. Just go and check out the last book, take it back to the glacial tomb and fight the new boss there. After you win, you get time stop, and you can check out all the books at once.

Don't worry user, I'm cheated out of 1/4th of my item drops because they get stuck in the floor. This game is buggy as hell.

How's the hook feel?

Welcome company does seem extremely strong. Just invalidates entire areas in the game. Also tepe orceus is kinda the same thing for directional. I never use anything else.

>what the fuck do I play now

Touhou Luna nights and Pharoah Rebirth.

>tepe orceus
why? It doesnt do that much damage relative to the MP used

feels like there were some throwaway mechanics they forgot about after the first hour (magic doors, area maps like the galleon's, keys other than for backer rooms) which kind of stuck out

Obviously players at your level were meant to simply find Gebil, kill him, and then consider the game finished.

The only bullshit part is the jelly fish shard instead of giving you a swimming shard in the enviornment somewhere.
The game beats you over the head with you needing a photograph if you explore around a bit, and either Dominique or OD tells you that you need something silver to take a photograph.
No idea what the first thing is even referring to

Where is Dominique?

They want to make female alucard i guess but doesnt work since alucard well known and have history. Miriam just new char and aside from her introduction and power origins nothing much.

It does a shitload of damage and deletes everything in Den too and the very last zone, it bounces and can hit the same target multiple times
Fast as fuck and it also autoaims off screen or out of "range" like in the Alfred fight, you can smash him with it while he's dashing around like on coke

If you walk over them before walking out of the room you will usually get them
If you sit in the room long enough it will auto pick up also

Sit by the window in the train

>bunny girl cant use boot techniques

>No idea what the first thing is even referring to
Blood drain on the fountain. The shard description doesn't even say "Absorb blood from the surrounding area", just "from enemies".

Take a sit on the train and be very patient, enjoy the scenery

Nah, I have the rank 9 detective shard, and the autopickup doesn't work on item bags stuck in the floor or ceiling.

isn't the bunny girl outfit a little too indecent for an old hag like miriam

>not trying it regardless because it's a giant suspicious fountain of blood with a clear indication on the map that there's an area under it
There's basically only 2 abilities that were going to open that path

>playing hard on my first playthrough
How? Is there some cheat code to unlock it? I usually do this but this game made sure to make me play normal first.

? Walk out of the room any bag that's not pickable because clipped puts the contents in your inventory when you change screen

>Item on ceiling
>cant get it for some reason
>move around
>you obtained X!
Uh huh

Ive 100%'d the game and you can sit still in a room and after like 30 seconds it will auto deposit in your bag
It also spottily works if you walk in the general area and leave the room in my experience

if you wait for the item bag to disintegrate it'll automatically give you whatever was in it

Type NIGHTMARE as your name and you unlock all the difficulties

>Welcome company does seem extremely strong
Part of it is also being really easy to upgrade for how useful it is.

if you enter NIGHTMARE as your name on any slot it unlocks all of the difficulties

>Expecting him to beat that boss if he can't even beat the final boss.

Lol this happened to you too?

Did you have the faerie familiar?

It's when the camera seperates you two.

Game sucks and everything looks like it's covered in cum because unreal engine sucks.

well FUCK, i wish i did this. normal is way too easy but now i'm too far in.

Isn't the kick way faster though?

If you just wait a bit, they auto give you the item bag as long it despawns on screen

I'm glad there were no area maps, the galleon map revealed all the secret rooms. Would have ruined exploration.

*10% drop rate

Seconding.

Oh fuck how do I beat this fucker, its keeping me curse-stunned all the time

Honestly Dominique seemed harder to me, her stupid shield piercing Sonic the Hedgehog jumps nuked whatever strategy I had despite her low health

It can only hurt you if you're looking directly at it

No I had bookbro. Now that you mention it I remember him sailing off towards the camera right after entering the boss area. I didn't get glitched to the lower level immediately though, got hit a couple of times on the ground before that mid-air hit that sent me down.

how's this compared to rabi ribi?

yeah no maps is reasonable
having a map of the galleon is kind of weird to begin with since it's a small enclosed space
maybe it's just leftover from the demo build

There's some windup to the hurricane kick. only worth using on things with more than like 800HP and hold still for a bit

what about Nightmare? I liked how hard rabi ribi was

INVERT

My whips are outdamaging everything else I have right now, it's ridiculous

it's some random movement string+attack so you can find some of them by accident
personally shards were more fun to use so I finished the game with 0 techs mastered

Nightmare mode is pretty hard at the beginning, but mellows out later on. It's definitely not nearly as hard as Rabi Rabi.

It does good damage, hits everything on screen, and is instant. Just let's you clear whole rooms easily without ever even interacting with enemies.

>Play Boss Rush mode
>Missing like half the bosses
>Divided up into two courses so you only fight five in a row

How do you fuck up a god damn boss rush mode like this.

Everyone is playing it. Wait a few days for people to 100% it.

Fuck hollow night and only faggot who never played sotn like that trash. Its actually soulless

they also make you arbitrarily either level 30 or 50
it's all very bizarre

Rabi Ribi was better than Hollow Knight and only reddit fags who hate anime would say otherwise.

I loved it, it's like they couldn't decide whether to a high-pitched death scream or a deep death gurgle of a possessed armour, then IGA walked by and told them to just use both since they already recorded the audio anyways.

Is HoD the only Igavania where there's a full boss rush course that actually has all the bosses?

Isn't that like the OoE boss rush?

It pumps out so much damage too. Just helps to melt bosses.

AoS and DoS also have full boss rushes, just minus the final ones for whatever reason.

Yeah, but the one saving grace for OoE is that you did end up fighting all the bosses over the course of both boss rush modes. In RotN like fucking half of the bosses just aren't present.

Also OoE gave you some gimmick bullshit for a reward at least. Better than nothing. Bloodstained just gives you those shitty 32 bit coins and then crafting trash after you get it.

I got them with invert

Yes

same

game is worth multiple playthroughs so I don't mind too much

Same here. Is there a single weapon or technique with some legit OP potential? The game seemed balanced around shards, while weapons felt mostly weak and unrewarding to use.

Only an achievement

Holy shit the normal mode movesets are so neutered compared to hard/nightmare
Zangetsu 2 being the prime example, he does none of his gook magic seal shit in normal, just the usual attacks but with the different elements imbued

What the fuck were you expecting by running into a boss door? A party?

You can't get high jump before you get those map squares without some serious brute forcing

shoes paired with head stomping, dive kicks, Lili, and increased speed is broken as fuck - I love it

I can't get the bloodbringer weapon to drop. I've had half a dozen shards but still no sword, am I doing something wrong?

i didnt expect to run into the "final" boss, bully him to death, and get a game over with no fanfare or warning.

Attached: 1556543823437.png (1022x1274, 1.19M)

The familiar IS the weapon.

>spend thirty minutes grinding out for a beast killer, nabbing whip enhancment shards every once in awhile
>Finally get the whip
>she now proceeds to drop it three more times back to back to back
Why do games always do this? It never fails the second you get something, it becomes common as fuck.

well at least you get an achievement for each ending

the weeb sword techniques aren't particularly strong but the amount of ground they cover is stupid.
flying kick lets you get some upgrades/chests that would normally require double jump

The familiar is the weapon. Unequip the familiar and it will show up in your inventory.

Probably because the final bosses in those aren't that great. DoS especially was shit.

what are all the hidden achievments? can someone who has them show me? I'm missing one

I'm beginning to think this might have been a mistake.

How much does the lack of leveling make a difference in difficulty in Nightmare, compared to Hard? I found Hard to be overall easy but the movesets were fantastic, it's so easy to level up though that I was super fucking strong by the end
Dunno if it was level ups or just the fact that most shards are strong af though

I was surprised when with only 55% map I ran into Gebel and he challenged me to fight. After I beat him I got a game over. Guess that's the bad ending? Stopped playing for the night after that.

You can get gold from chests in sandland I think.

Every previous Igavania game had access to Konami's sprite library. Even OoE was still using run cycles straight from Rondo. A game built entirely from all new assets is always going to be rough around the edges

nah the other literally half of the map is just empty space

Compared to hard? Really the biggest issue is getting traction on your character build. Hard stops being "really hard" after Zan as your options and level are opened up enough if you aren't shit.

The Lack of leveling on Nightmare plus the extra damage enemies do compared to hard really keep you gimped most of the time. I've never really felt "safe" on nightmare at any point. At best you get to a point where you're a glass cannon but you'll never ever have survivability. Full offense is the way to go.

What does that gambler boss says when you're dirt poor, anyway?

>head stomping
Speaking of which, are you intended to go up to the Livre ex Machina area early by bouncing off the lamps in the cathedral-looking place or are you supposed to get up there with another ability later on? I got up there cause it looked like a fun platforming challenge but I've yet to even do any of the underground bits.

>No threads

>big ass staircase

Yeah it was literally the same as all of drac's throne rooms since Rondo + SotN. Not sure how you missed that. Was it because the staircase was indoors?

can someone make a fucking magnet already

How do I get the Silver Tiara/Circlet? Need it for the priest chick

Sounds good. After Zangetsu I noticed a drop in difficulty on Hard and I didn't grind or anything, Craftwork was really simple and so were the following bosses until Bloodless. Alfred fucked me up a bit, then Zangetsu 2 was tough, by the time I got to Gremory, OD and the last boss I was shitting out damage so fast that I pretty much dps raced them all
Also the train and lab bosses were so easy that I almost forgot they exist

Inti wasted 1 years time. Then the rest was a poorly paid tiny team even with Dico.

It's quite literally the same thing.
Get the special item and then cut the sphere.

Am I mistaken? I thought i heard if you rank 9 a passive shard the effect will stay even if you swap it

it felt nothing like the lead up to a final boss it was just some raggedy ass room with a staircase.

Bait his dash attacks, jump over, and shoot him in the back with hp rounds. Repeat until his death about 15 shots later

also, the skill shard will stack with the passive shard

This is true, however you can also stack that with your equipped passive shard, so it may seem like you're losing the effect whenever you swap shards, but you're not. You're losing the stacked effect.

Symphony has a WAY bigger tell that this is something special.

1. This is where you fought Dracula in the beginning.
2. The staircase is broken, needing you to go all around finding special abilities to access it.

Meanwhile in Bloodstianed it's sorta just there.

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing it up

That's exactly what was happening

I personally don't like it because everything feels very similar to me. It's so glum and dreary, the music generally ambient, it all just makes it blend together. I love catchy music and wildly distinct areas.

Other big thing is so much feels like it's just trying to waste time. Having to find someone to buy a map for every area, having to find a bench to update your map because it's an incomplete piece of shit, having to waste a charm slot to know your location on the map, only being able to change charms at a bench, potentially losing money if you die and it being so much harder to grind back up than losing souls in a Dark Souls game.

Just so much that's not particularly "hard" but doesn't value time or make it stand out to me.

the book opens itself to be read when you sit with it.

Does the shield trick still work on zangetsu 2.0?

I'd make the boobs bigger

Why wasn't Mana one of the key artists from day 1? She's better than Yuji Natsume.

I'd say that after you beat Zangetsu unless your head is soft the game just can't keep up with your output.
>grade 9 dullahan heads
>anything to do with a gun
>million and one rapier for no damage and then for big damage after you get the book familiar

No. A major goal with this game was building up a new library of assets they would be able to choose from for reuse in future installments, the same way they did with the DS and GBA games. They're not going to start over now.

OP here, thanks whole reason I made the thread.

What's Aradia's game name?

The dullahan heads begin to lick her

My favorite part of the game was going through a random challenging platforming room only to get some gay niche charm that I will literally never even try out.

Man, you must have done some serious jump kick chains to get all the way up to Gebel without Reflector Ray. At the point you're at, having that shard won't really reveal anything new for you, but you'll need it for later on anyway

How would you improve Miriam's character design?

Gebel looks cooler in this image than he ever was in the game. Dude is a huge corndog.

Mana wasn't added until 1 year in. also she's a decent artist, but designign is different.

for future reference the "absurdres" tag on boorus like danbooru is a lifesaver
I'm super autistic about high resolution images even on the hentai I save so a bit of google-fu is necessary but dedicating some time goes a long way

How do you master techniques? Kill things with them? Also is it tied to the weapon you unlock it with or not?

its basically SOTN if it were made in the PS2 era.

old school jap game design. with all the pros and cons.

De-anime it. Castlevania designs had a bit more grounding. While never 100% realistic, they were at least based on clothing people usually wore. Alucard's stuff is 100% authentic period clothing, even if no one would have worn them all at once.

spats instead of bloomers

Is hard okay for a first playthrough or is it more built around NG+?

And now they can use those to pad out the next game's while they make a few more. You gotta start somewhere.

Thus broke the game for me. I just needed to run around and let the heads do the work

Hard is prime for a fresh character. Normal is too easy.

>Winged cows hunted to extinction to feed hungry grandma!
>Local demon hunter: "Where's the beef?!"

then they wasted a lot of time making shitty assets. enemy design in this game is depressingly low tier.

hard is rough at the beginning but once you get used to it, its fine

>its basically SOTN if it were made in the PS2 era.

Ha! Back in the 2000's, that was just my fantasy.

In my mind, it was Symphony of the Night 2, starring Alucard. It looked similar but was twice the resolution, more detailed, and still 2D. It was SotN but jsut bigger.

I hope whatever game Iga makes next will have the Hill Guard and Ruler Sword type enemies

>"Uhhhhnnn... assectibel! Take deese!"

Still doing my first playthrough.
Was very proud of myself when I was able to do this. And was very disappointed to find the chair 2 floors down, afterwards.

I was freaking out thinking I needed to grid for like six of these, but then I realized I was retarded and could buy/disassemble a dish with flying beef in it.

Does this have the patch?

I remember that spot from Symphony of the Night.

Its a worse designed aria and dawn of sorrow combined with sotn, it isnt terrible but it could be a lot better, all the big upgrades feel like shit and a chore to use as far as traveling where as in those games you got shit like batform and the ability to jump high and fast. Curse of the Moon was a straight up better designed game

Wait, is that actually Iga trying to speak English!? HHAHAHAHA

Anybody know what's the point of sitting in all these random fucking chairs? Like they designed a few dozen unique fucking chairs and put them randomly around.

I feel like I'm playing Curse of Darkness again where there was a room that had all the chairs you ever sat in for some strange fucking reason.

at least they did a good job on curse of the moon

I’m at the save room next to the bad ending Gebel fight. Can someone give me a hint where to go next?

>Boss on timed train session

Fuck no, getting No Hit medal on that cunt will be a pain.

I like Bloodstained so far, but it's linear as fuck. You pretty much have to get upgrades in a certain sequence, which results you in exploring areas in the same order in the same ways for most playthroughs.

Got a link user?

goddamnit now i want to play harmony of despair

If there aren't many threads, that usually means people are actually playing it

MP regenerates faster while sitting

Look for some candles in the cathedral that are stacked in a way that you can keep jump-kicking upwards off of them.

Trying to get all the weapons before moving onto new game plus. Where the hell do I get hermes boots? Am I missing a crafting thing or something

Alos can you go back on the train for missed map and items? Cause the time is stressing me out.

Yeah, but the place is kinda built for that kind of shenanigans. So much stuff flying around for you to bounce off.

Thanks user.

So you won't need to rank 9 grade 9 on the chair spell.

its the gog 1.04 version

You can go fight Bloodless right after getting double jump. I think you can make it all the way to Alfred before having to go on the train. So that's something at least.

Honestly on the high end for progression options in Iga's games. PoR, OoE, AoS, and DoS were all more linear than Bloodstained.

No. Also go fuck yourself.

>free account exceeded download limit

nooooo

Find and fight Blood-fu and then go to the blood fountain. A bit later, it's not obvious but a certain type of monster drops a shard mandatory to travel underwater.

You need to fight the boss in the cathedral area and use the shard you get from it at an appropriate location

Oh hey, that's neat. Thanks then.

do whips really not have any special techniques?
what the FUCK went wrong

IntiCreates apparently made that part and also the first boss fight, and you know how much they love their unavoidable screen-filling attacks.

you can freely ride the train after the boss, don't sweat clearing it on your first ride.

Remove the weird shoulder flap she has. I get that it's asymmetrical, but it doesn't look connected to anything and makes zero fucking sense.

But they do? Keep in mind some techniques only work on some weapons until you master them.

I think she's still mentally younger because she was asleep for years

oh nvm i was just looking at some guy's incomplete technique list

zettai ryoiki

whatever the fuck Isaac was wearing
Whatever the fuck Joachim was wearing
Whatever the fuck Lydie was wearing
All the awful designs in Judgement
What year was CotM supposed to take place in again?
Surprisingly not 64/LoD
And while a bit reaching I wasn't on about Jonathan and Charlotte either.

They're the only melee weapon with a whole one technique for them. And it's just a boring QCF "strong" attack.

And a couple literally cannot be used with anything but the weapon they come with.

>her sad voice when grandma eats all the food
Fucken adorable

It always crits, stack crit damage.

How are your trophies/achievements coming?

Never said it was bad, just really fucking boring. The game needs more interesting techniques like the running greatsword one.

Carpenter, Revenant and the slot machine boss don't give medals, do they?

Is there a good listing of these anywhere? Found pic related from earlier thread but it doesn't say what weapons support what
Meanwhile katanas have 5

>You straight up just kill O.D.

Huh?! Seems out of place.

why the hell would anyone make ridill over blue rose? Why is ridill so shit bros it looks cool

>Curse of the Moon was a straight up better designed game
Nah. Fake ass Getsu Fuuma with literal megaman stage design.

I got all except complete item list and ten jumpkick chain. I can't really be assed to do either

Nope, you can keep refighting them so they aren't "real" bosses.

go back to the library pal

Go back to the Library.

It always crits and it's ranged

How did the last boss end up being so shit.

How long does it take to get that train scare?

I don't think there's been a single one of these with a final boss that was good outside of the dracula + death duo fight in PoR. But at least it's not as bad as Dracula Revenant or w/e that abomination was called in HoD

once the view is looking at the water without trees interrupting, just a few seconds
