Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Yes.

That's not the real moon.

I think you might just have a different aesthetic taste, this looks decent

It's fun as fuck to play, I got it today and played 7 hours straight.

Yes

Not even half as much shilling as Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, Borderlands, or Kingdom Come: Deliverance

is dodging shit supposed to feel clunky as fuck at the start (the distance on the backstep makes it fucking useless)? Am I supposed to be abusing iframes on jumps?

Why is it always seething hollow knight fans ripping into this game on reddit and Yea Forums

>reddit
go back there

I don't like Hollow Knight in general, I just think it's an excellent comparison to show just how bad Bloodstained looks. Hollow Knight had so much less budget and yet looks so much better. How can you fuck up that badly?

Why do people think HK's art style is good? It literally looks like a polished flash game and has the most boring enemy appearances imaginable. They're almost all thick outlined enemies with white heads and black dots for eyes, it's about the least creative art style I've seen

Maybe it's because I'm not used to having a backstep but I do a lot of hopping and maneuvering in the air to do a lot of my damage.

Don't act you don't browse Reddit sweetie(it's the best site on the internet to discuss current things), all of Yea Forums does. Hell everyone on the internet practically uses it. You probably will deny using Facebook and Twitter next. Nice try.

Apparently the game doesn't run very well on Pc either

Yes it does.

I haven't played this one but I never used the backstep to dodge in any castlevania ever. If it's anything like SOTN you'd be better off jumping in and out of range, using the fact that landing reset your attack animation to your advantage

How could I miss that thing ?
I got 99.8% map completion and looted all fucking ennemies to the bone.

The game runs perfectly on PC.
Zoom zoom zoomzoomzoom.

The castle itself was pretty bland, upgrades that unlocked new areas were really bad and disrupted the flow of travel as well. Everything else was pretty well done, but the castle and how you traverse through it is a large part of the game, 7/10. Glad it was made, but it isn't amazing, we dont even have Zangetsu mode on release.

This game is a fucking bomb. I died to a fish in a glitch that stuck my character in an animation moving right. Not feeling like playing anymore I alt f4d which caused the game to basically crash my computer. Black screen alt f4 didn't work, ctrl alt delete didn't work, power button didn't work.

The first time you go through that room, it was clear to me how it was going to become important later on

Having to farm the jellyfish shard to get the swimming ability was pretty obtuse too. The game's full of bad design decisions like these.

Watch Yea Forums defend this though.

thanks. i completely forgot about those out of bounds areas, and most of other ones seem to be inaccessible with that ability so didn't think it'd actually work in one place.

>it will never wrap itself around Miriam as a suit of lewd armor

Hollow Knight has a very strong and pervasive atmosphere. it's one of the great strengths of the game, IMO. i think a lot of people that play HK kind of sense that, but don't fully understand WHY that is, so they end up just chalking it up to "good art style" or whatever. the character art style is certainly part of the atmosphere in HK, but i think the sound design, environment design, and writing for the NPCs are all bigger factors. the characters having such simple and plain designs works because it contrasts with the detailed environments

i have never once browsed reddit, my entirety of experience on that site has been when following a link to a specific post. i don't even hate reddit per se, i just don't like the idea of upvoting/downvoting comments and i already have Yea Forums to waste my life with, so i never cared to check it out. same thing with twitter, i never saw a reason to make an account.

why does this game run on toasters for PC but drop to 10 fps on PS4 Pro?

Shield is absurdly good if you are collecting the boss medals

Medusaheads and Fireball (whatever the name) are absolutely disgusting on Nightmare. Also protip on 1st boss fight on Nightmare: manual swap the safe ring whenever you are about to get hit or when it's time to hide behind the white jellyfishes, it allows you to take 1 more hit, maybe 2, when factoring potions, and also allows you to stun them with the greatsword without killing them, unless you have more than 1 medusa.

Better then any GBA/DS igavania, worse then SotN and slightly better then the PS2 ones.

Didn't Dawn of Sorrow have a mandatory soul? And I remember Aria requiring the Valkyrie soul to get behind the waterfall to access an entire optional area

I hope the Switch doesn't run completely like shit. I really prefer portability for these types of games.

Not really, and in aria it was optional. No soul was really ever needed to progress unless it was from a boss.

But they're there for lore reasons. They're wealthy patrons that the Alchemists fucked world over trying to scare them into not pulling out of the Guild's finances. Of course their portraits are plastered all over the Castle- the Alchemists were so desperate to keep their business they got millions killed. You think they didn't try good old-fashioned brownnosing before escalating to the Apocalypse plan?

i dunno user, go swim in a pool of blood or something

Remember the fountain full of blood?

Ok i did it, its stupid though that their isnt a specific section for all shards that are needed to interact with the world.

Guys is there a weapon that is equivalent to Crissaegrim?

Change the blood color to white in the Options menu and go suck down several dozen mens' worth of semen like Aradia taught you.

>Aegis Plate
>look up online
But why? All I did was use the new ability in the only dark spots available in the entire map.

Yes. It's called the Rhava Velar and you craft it from
>4 Rhava Burals (=Vorpal Blade, dropped by Killer Barbers)
>4 Sharp Razors (also a Killer Barber drop)
>1 Crimsonite (endgame reward for the assassination quests, also dropped by Ninjas in Oriental Lab)
>Imbrued Fang (dropped by secret boss Millionaire's Bane, only accessible after finding its key in Den of Behemoths, the penultimate dungeon.)

Try stringing together a falling shot, jump cancel into another shot and then dash cancel into a third shot. Do it right and fast enough and you’ll squeeze off 3 shots like a gun slinger.

Does it break the game like it did for SotN?

Considering you won't be able to craft it until near the end of your first playthrough, no. It's nice to have in NG+, where it becomes a game breaker on Normal, a reliance on Hard and next to useless on Nightmare due to the fact that it has low attack power on its own and you're stuck in LVL1 permanently with the only buffs coming from your equipment and food you eat for the first time.

Exactly what I paid for. Fucking Broken was Symphony of the Night's middle name.

the 8bit one seems like it gets spear-tier range when repaired (upgraded)

The moon was super obvious

The problem was that if you can beat Zangetsu 2: Elemental boogaloo, you can kill Gebel in 3 seconds before the moon changes color

Please help! I tried google.

You get one from the kill X amount quest by the the revenge woman. Either that or somewhere along the path from Zangetsu 1 to Big Hand.

Yes, I think you need to take off like 80% of Gebel's health AND NOT KILL HIM. Which is pretty hard to do after Zangetsu #2.

They should change it in a patch so that the moon is always red. Same as with the Richter fight in SOTN, if you have the glasses you can go after Shaft right away, no need to hit Richter.

Speaking of the revenge woman, why doesn't she have any extra dialogue after you complete all her quests? I was expecting some closure.

The moon changes colour as Gebel loses health. Also, you must've overleveled to beat Zang2, then. Because I had more than enough time to identify the bloodmoon and swat it out of the sky on my first playthrough. On my fourth, when I was back to "Normal" I had the problem you described. One full swipe of my not Crissaegrim and Gebel would die.

personally my memories from curse of the moon were still fresh and i remembered that the blood red moon is Gremory's gimmick
but is right, it is very obvious, to the point Zangetsu spells it out for you

It's a reward either from the KILL THOSE MURDERERS DEAD lady or the hungry grandma. I think it's the murderer lady.
Also, you will find a recipe for it later on.

It's shit, it's six hours long, it's bosses heal to maximum health. This is irrelevant as the silver knight familiar and the poltergeist barrier shard at the least are overpowered beyond belief.

The game is shit, there's an oriental sorcery lab underneath the castle full of cat unicorns and ninjas. You have to literally be under the age of ten to consider this a good video game.

Fuck you most politely.

Fuck you in your glacier dungeon you waster worshipping scumbags. Buy the original games and if you have do it again to heal this wound.

There's absolutely no reason to sell your shards, ever. Especially considering they net so little money. Just sell expensive drops like Wool from Wolfman.

That and borrowing the ultimate book which only appears with 99% map.

>it's six hours long
On NG+ with the accelerator shard, yes.
>it's bosses heal to maximum health
Only Bloodless. Valefar heals to [all the gold you carry with you], which can bite you in the ass.

Do nightmare mode.

That explains it. Gotta explore everything again, then. Jumpe straight into the boss battle first time around and never bothered to uncover the whole map again.

pray that zangetsu comes out before 2020

well when I'm being told I have too many shards and the game has been drilling in that Miriam relies too much on the shards I got the feeling maybe I shouldn't have any shards or there was a threshold I had passed

Is there a faster way of moving other than holding the down key and spamming the jump key?

Dash Shard you get from racing the Ninja. It's pretty lame game but once you get it you'll never stop using it.

I remember when getting 9 of each item was a thing for GBA/DS games. I've done it myself. Would be crazy tedious in this game though, way too many items and 99% of them are trash.

Anybody actually bothered grinding out the Street Fighter moves? Turns out they have their own little proficiency bars, meaning they can level up and get stronger. lmao who the fuck uses these, what's the fucking point, when you can just equip OP stuff and 1 hit KO everything with basic attacks.

Hop backwards and press down, and repeat

I love video games I loved playing this indie piece of shit what the fuck are you talking about I am being positive I'm fucking your face.

I use the techniques all the time because they're fun
spammng true arrow 20 times is boring

>. lmao who the fuck uses these
Nigga what? The Katana has a projectile and full counter. They are useful as fuck. Also the Bandit Sword you get end game lets you do Alucard's teleport slash and it does insane damage. I raped O.D to death with it.

I'd use the techniques more but none of my weapons really worked for it until the endgame swords and Zangetsuto

You can get that dark spot but don't get the chest, or more exactly don't access the same area. It happened to me and got extremely lost, I even thought about dmg boost throught the spikes.

>Why does a game need to look good???
How did this one go under the radar? Aesthetics are important, believe it or not. Gameplay is key but a decent style/art is a close second. You have to make something you're staring at for hours something nice (or maybe creepy for a horror game)

That chest is not marked on the map for some reason. I explored that room fully but still missed the chest because of the retarded 3D rotation.

Once you get double jump you can quickly double jump dive kick for extra speed, but don’t go too high or you’ll get the laggy landing animation. It’s an annoying series of inputs but it’s the fastest method of travel.

It's like Hollow Knight except there's no difficulty because it's a skinner box action RPG like Diablo. You keep re-entering a room and it respawns the enemies, you keep killing them over and over until they drop OP stuff, then you proceed to kill a boss in 3.5 seconds.

Not him but I did it at exactly level 50. Use direction shield to deal with Za Warudo. And apparently according to user's sister you can use poison to get out of his grab.

Are the paintings (Poltergeist) that good? I've been using Tis Raiff and True Arrow (both are Rank 9 and Grade 9) on everything. Very low MP cost, so they're basically free if your MP regen is not too shit. Gebel dies in about 5 castings of Tis Raiff.

is this a good metroidvania to get into the genre? tried hollowknight but I never got into it really

You should play the castlevania/metroidvania's to get into the genre. Bloodstained will spoil you a lot.

Start with SoTN

>remember an user here mentioning yesterday that you can borrow every single book after beating him

Yeah, slightly more challenging than SOTN, which should be your entry point, but you can also play this and then go backwards, you'll notice the many references they've thrown in.

I haven't experimented a lot but they get me through mobs fast enough.I think that's a great appeal of the game in that there's plenty of stuff find. I'm not even grinding for stuff cause I can go through something like NG+ and try a different weapon/shard

getting mixed messages here, what if I don't really care about playing SoTN?

Play whatever the fuck you want? This game is mostly a love letter to Castlevania fans, it's like a greatest hits compilation of all the previous games. You wouldn't play Sonic Mania without playing the classics, would you? All the references and gameplay mechanics would fly over your head.

Every weapon can use multiple standard weapon-type techniques once you master them, and many weapons have their own unique ones.

Hollow Knight immediately feels like shit to control and then giving it an hour you find that you're still in the exact same boring looking area you started in with big empty rooms and nothing enemies.

Then why not fucking refund it? Steam allows you to auto-refund any game you've played for less than 2 hours.

Hollow Knight was actually good tho

Most non-hipsters should pass the game up the second they noticed all the fucking self knockback from your basic attack.

What a retard mechanic

HK has actual difficulty in both the combat and exploration. No wonder casualfags can't stand it.

You can literally buy a charm at the start of the game that disables this. But go on, tell us you were just pretending to be retarded.

Like yeah, sure, it's not fucking Crysis, but when did that start being a thing we graded Castlevania games on?

It's just autistic 2D fags who think we're going to get Metal Slug sprites in an indie game.

Are you honestly trying to make a point by comparing the player base of 2.5 year old game to a that of a new one?

Peak concurrent players.

oy vey

It's just zoomers that don't have any context.

OoE is ten god damn years ago.

I don't care what those billion people think. I don't watch games with their eyes, I watch with mine. Bloodstained looks like shit.

All of the Castlevanias looked good for their time and the majority of the post Symphony of the Night ones still look much better than this shit. Order of Ecclesia has a better artstyle and is much more pleasant to see. How fucking old is that game again? A decade? Two? Embarrassing.

Yeah, it does. Gameplay might matter more, but visuals absolutely are a factor. If you had the power to make the artists for this game competent so that it would look actually good instead of like a PSP game, you would.

It'll get better. Trust me lad.

Falseflaggers tried to do it with Hollow Knight and Rain World too. But the only thing that happened was slugbros helping out their bugbros get into the game.

Can somebody ITT explain why retards are comparing the graphics between a 2D based game and a 3D based game/

see

Buy the regular game and only get the backpack if you fall absolutely in love with it.
It's a single boss and a single weapon.
It was made DLC by request of the backers, since it was initially intended to be a backer exclusive boss, but backers agreed to make it available to everyone else, and they turned it into DLC to still show appreciation to the backers who made the game possible

The boss itself is the single hardest boss in the game, especially on higher difficulties

Because Castlevania games used to feature top tier spritework?

Iga falling for the 2.5D meme is the worst thing that happened to this game. It would have looked so much better if he wasn't a pussy Unreal engine shill. The shitposting has merit.

that got recycled in every single game for years though

Nigger nobody is comparing the old Castlevania games and HK though.

He didn't "fall for the meme" he just couldn't get the people to do sprite work up to his standard, so had to settle for this

That's....way too many fetishes for a cartoony game.......

Hollow Knight is relevant because it's a game made with a shoestring budget that looks a million times better than Bloodstained, which completely nullifies Iga's "B-b-b-but 2d is expensive you guise ;_;" narrative.

There's no reason this game couldn't have at least tried to look as good as the old Castlevania games. It looks like utter shit.

We'd have the game either half the size or launching in 2025 if it was going to have high end spritework.

By playing Curse of the Moon, where the last stage is literally called Cleave the Moon, in her boss fight you can only hurt Gremory by attacking the moon

Eh, good enough games can suck you in even with shit graphics. And I think there actually are some nice vistas in the game, and the enemies are animated well, it's really only when you look at models up close and not moving that they fall flat, but in motion I think the game looks fine.

Go back there you faggot.

She always has a bubble over head with a picture of the relevant food. Just compare the picture to your recipes.

I mean, the games you listed are either tiny, fell for the """procedural generation meme,""" or in the case of Blasphemous, has bigger enemies with minimal spritework so their movement is choppy as fuck.

That's why I said high end spritework would make Bloodstained either smaller or take forever.

Its not in my recipes, that's why I'm asking where to find it.

Momodora has super fluent animations though.

Attached: momo4_fennel.gif (320x240, 3.44M)

If Iga were competent, the time it would take for a good looking game to come out would even out with the fact he didn't need to change companies mid-development 4 times.

I think the enemies in this game actually look pretty good, so they have a a good base for the next games

they just need to improve close-up character models and make backgrounds consistently good. every area should be livre ex machina quality

2.5D was the easiest way to implement Bloodstained's disgustingly huge breadth of customization you retards.

Maybe it's this one

I could tell from the first gameplay trailer that Blasphemous' movement would be aggravating for finer gameplay control. Depends on the person maybe, but games that animate like that and Slain just do not click for me or get me in any kind of flow. It sucks because I like that artstyle when I don't have to play in it.

That looks pretty good. This game probably had less than a tenth of the budget and it looks so much better. How the fuck did Iga fuck up this badly?

>>Despite the castlevania series as a whole never really being a graphical powerhouse to begin with

It's 5-6 hours long and was made in like 6 months by a bunch of basement dwellers. Literally what the fuck was IGA blowing his money on.

>This game probably had less than a tenth of the budget and it looks so much better
It's also a tenth of the length of Bloodstained lmao.

But user, gameplay doesn't matter in videogames. It's all about the graphics!

Bloodstained's team and budget is much bigger. There's no reason they couldn't have made a much longer game that didn't look like shit.

I think he was working on a game longer than 5-6 hours long with more than three different attack options.

Bloodstained *looks* fine, it just doesn't have any super distinct style.

In a million years, no one will ever figure out why Iga fucked this up. Hopefully, he pocketed a lot of the money for himself. I don't want to think it was actually all wasted on this PSP looking shit.

I feel like they could have made up for that by having gothic style 2D portraits for cutscenes instead of the models. Yeah we wouldn't get our customized Miriam in cutscenes but I think it'd be a worthy sacrifice to add some unique flair to the presentation.

Both are good for different reasons. Hollow Knight is more about exploring the world than upgrading yourself. I think the beginning is too slow, but it’s my only main criticism. Ritual, much like any Igavania, is much more about the RPG elements and freedom. Hollow Knight has MUCH better boss fights and is incredibly consistent with its level design, while Ritual is much faster paced and has an infinite amount of ways to quickly tackle problems. Different strokes for different folks, although I’d say HK is a more ‘solid’ game.

Iga is too based for this world

I guess this game truly is a huge flop.

It was NOT.
It looked good for what it was, but nobody was calling it Best Graphics of 1997, not by a damn long shot.
And the DS/GBA Castlevanias were on DS/GBA specifically because they didn't want to push graphics. And we know that, because Castlevania games existed and *did* look pretty damn good, graphically. That was never a priority on the Igavanias.

>because Castlevania games existed and
Meant to say "Existed on modern consoles"

Too bad it's overpriced. I'll be waiting for a sale to get this for my PS4.

>wanting these balloons over perky nips

This is true, but I don’t think the gimmicks define the level entirely. Hollow Knight has a few incredibly bland areas towards the bottom of the map, but for the most part it does great. Kingdoms Edge is entirely verticals and plays differently than anywhere else. Deepnest is only narrow corridors that you can barely see through. City of Tears is more massively open than anywhere else. For the most part areas feel completely different, and extremely alive.

because hitboxes and attack animations move them duh. Just get use to jumping on their heads and killing everything in the game without trying.

>your
pot meet kettle

The ethics department wasn't sure about that part so they asked IGA to tone it down.

Only two techniques for shoes?

use the D pad not stick also is this the same one from undertow and lovers lab that has no textures yet.

At least it has some. Whip has none (I think)

pirate it for the Switch for free, retard.

>no whip skill to hold attack button and twirl the whip like a Belmont
Missed opportunity.

You're better off waiting anyway. So far the game is full of bugs, it crashes sometimes on PC (the game doesn't have an autosave function btw), and they're going to release a lot of extra gameplay features that they have promised during their kickstarter as DLCs sometime in the future.

I've actually heard once that Konami has that patented. Kinda like Bandai Namco has loading screen minigames patented.

just pirate it, any fucking toaster can run it

20 hours in and no crashes so far (Steam version).

SJW reviewers don’t know that score to give. They hate it cause they didn’t receive an early copy but look at all these good comments on Steam. So all they say is “b-but it’s ugly”.

here's a (you) you fucking hollow nigger

>the game doesn't have an autosave function btw
There's fucking save points out the ass, why would you want autosave you fucking faggot?

Because he’s a zoom zoom.

it probably only happens to certain gpu's, i'm already on my nightmare difficulty playthru and it all has worked well

lmao

Does changing the blood color in the options affect her too?

Imagine making a boss rush mode that barely has half the bosses in it. And then dividing it into half.

How do you fuck up something so basic as a boss rush mode.

I had one crash in 7 hours, some people have reported multiple crashes during a 20 hour playthrough. It doesn't crash often but it occasionally crash occasionally.

it affects everything that has blood
Castlevania boss rushes have always been divided in half or even 3 parts

Is there any secret arena type area like in PoR or OoE?

Chill out dickwad, I'm not complaining about a lack of save spots. If anything I think they should've been a little more spaced out. The game is pretty easy.

Nah, just PoR and OoE had that gay shit for boss rush mode, and in PoR it actually makes sense with all the DoS boss imports.

AoS and DoS both had full boss rushes except without the final boss.

CoD had every boss.

HoD had every boss after you do the two partial boss rushes before them.

RotN has jack shit, and is the worst of them all.

Nope.

I've crashed 3 times between the start of the game and the first save point so I'm just gonna wait for some patches.

I just wish the all the armors changed what you were wearing, where did 5 million dollars go?

Imagine thinking 5 million dollars is a lot of money in video game development.

fucking hell the music in this was fantastic

Sorry i forgot zoomers only make excuses for devs here

This.

People just want to fucking shriek at the sky and bitch about everything as always, Yea Forums is legitimately incapable of seeing anything other than "THIS SHIT GOOD, THIS SHIT BAD" and console war level us vs. them arguments. Fuckers just do it for attention at this point and they'll never stop. You cunts will argue whether it's less painful to die on fire or in acid. It's still fucking death at the end of the day.

Don't be like that. They've went above and beyond what they could've done for that money. The castle is huge, there's a lot of unique rooms, there's a shitton of weapons and hats, there's potato farming. IGA will probably die poor and unwanted in some shed because the game will bomb hard but at least he'll die knowing that he made a few ugly nerds who still care about Castlevania happy.

one of the whip techniques is just quarter circle forward for a critical hit that causes a small cyclone

likely iga just pocketed most of the money after copypasting the same combat system from the last 10 games under the guise of nostalgia and hired a staff of wagies to "animate" the 2.5D instead of properly drawing pixelart and pulled a bunch of brits off the street to voice over the dozen chars.
its still a good vania but the shitty halfbake unity slapped together like a cheapened brand doesn't do it any service

You didn't even get the engine right you retard.

fuck you dude i expected this game to be mediocre as fuck and i am blown away by how well they did with it

I like the game, but something about it feels so bland. and the kickstarter enemies need to be able to toggle off, they are ugly as fuck.

the last part of the story disappointed me
Gremory should have been the mastermind pulling all the strings

I am also wondering this, does not feel like a game that took nearly 5 years to make

And far too many cases of nostalgia goggles

Honestly, I'm just glad they didn't make Kickstarter NPCs like Pillars of Eternity, they ruined the game for me.

Nice, I wonder what i should make. The whip looks cool.

Is there any reason to new game+ do i unlock anything for doing it?

kind of disappointed right now with the game, and knowing new content is going to cost me $10 a pop is iffy.

i went full whip build here using the maxed 8 bit whip and i was doing fucking OBSCENE damage by the end of the game.

Craft the gun, master the rapid fire technique and then you'll pop bosses in less than 10 seconds

whoops this was meant for

the whip is legit
the fact it can charge means it can be thrown out in the air almost instantly

well written shit post

So where do I invert to get that odd chest with spikes in the twin towers? I already got Valk dress

I feel like an idiot for asking this but
How do you use the invert once you unlock it?
Controls say up + down + jump, but I don't get if that's all at once or just for the direction you want to shift it to or if you need to hold or what.
I hope it's not all at once and it's just my crappy keyboard doesn't support three simultaneous button presses

Press up, then down+jump right after.

Nice, I'll get those next. How many 8-bit coins are lying around the map?

Going whip, sounds great.

why is Yea Forums so easy to bait these days

you hit down then up then jump

It's the same combination as the super jump in SOTN: Down, Up + Jump

Only one but you can buy more in the shop, you can also win 16-bit and 32-bit coins in boss rushes.

Only one piece of armour changes what you are wearing, so you look the same of everyone else but different colors

These guys are right, my post () is wrong, FYI

Still waiting on my backer copy.

Hurry up mail.

2 pieces actually. Plus one spell.

Thanks, user.

Look, buddy, I'm playing this using a keyboard. I'd think it's pretty clear I've never played SOTN.

Looks like utter shit. It may be a good game but whoever created this either lacked any notion of style or made it purposefully look like a pile of pre-made assets stuck together.

Ah, I'll go buy the others then. are there any 16/32 bit coins in the castle like that one 8 bit coin?

I wasn't counting shovel knight just because, and the spell is pretty good, cheesed the fuck out of bosses with that

Playing the game for about 20 hours now i notice this, it just feels like they out source a bunch of models

I want to do a full playthrough with that armor. Just need to wait for the cheat tables to be more developed first.

No as far as I remember, the only way to get those is to buy them or doing boss rush.
I suggest you to get the Augment luck shard so that you can craft Augment gold to speed up your cash farming, that way you'll get the 32-bit coin sooner.

Nice, thanks.

Well, good art is expensivek, even in 3d. Seeing how it's often comapred to hollow knight, one needs to keep in mind that HK's original team had an animation artist already, I think. And those are incredeibly rare and cost a lot.
Maybe they'll get enough money to do a remake. I'd love to try it out when my eyes are not bleeding.

The level design sure feels like a bunch of different ideas and styles sewn together. That's what you get when you just throw everything in. Maybe Bloodstained 2 will have a much clearer vision.

The easiest way to farm money early game is to go to Twin Towers, take the elevator all the way down, go to the left until you're outside, there's a Wolfman literally by the door, keep killing him for Wool, it sells for 1k each and the drop chance is pretty high.

I just want a version released without any kickstarter influence.

All the way at the bottom of that room, before you even start climbing the spiral tower.

bros

where the fuck is the black pepper

Team Cherry is literally 2 dudes, it's just one of them is a really talented artist. Money can't buy you talent, I guess.

From the base of the tower with the werewolf?

Only in the blue chest in that laboratory after the train thing. Blue chests respawn every time you revisit the area.

I think what you guys are saying sums it up for me, the gameplay is good, but damn the visuals are lacking. nothing seems like they belong in the world. kind of let down, would tell any anons on the edge, wait for a sale of about $20 or just pirate it

Secret lab

I hope somebody replaces those awful backers portraits. Those things just break immersion in half every time.

meant to reply to

Blue chests in the Underground Sorcery Lab

this shit is worse than onions sauce what the hell is with the drop tables on some of these common ingredients

They aren't that bad. The weird disproportional NPC models are a lot more off putting.

it's in the blue chests in the secret lab

It can tho. You just need a lot of it which a kickstarter game clearly hasn't.
