Bloodstained is really fun. It's pretty much exactly what I was hoping for and I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.

If you're not playing it with Japanese audio you're doing yourself a disservice.

Not sure if this is already known but I just found an easter egg. If you do the same chair juggle from SotN to O.D. you get rewarded similarly for continuous juggle and a second chest will appear and give you a food item. You seem to only get one shot at it per playthrough.

Welcome Company for just being generally useful. Being bombarded by frogs/bats/dullaheads would have been hell at times without it, and it stayed pretty useful throughout the game.

Blue would be Bunny for obvious reasons and being strong as fuck, but later on I started using Sacred Shade more as I preferred other weapon types. Accelerator is also good shit for general traversal.

Also gonna mention True Arrow and Riga Dohin for Directionals, as those are the two I used through most of the game.

>Favorite Wep
Hard to say since I swapped around a lot between swords, gswords and boots, but Bloodbringer was cool in concept and I used it for a good while due to the bug with the familiar. Want to try using guns and whips more though.

>Favorite Familiar
Bloodbringer was again one I like in concept, but not very effective. I'd say Silver Knight overall though for being effective though.

So you can get him to Grade 9 by the first NG+

I like the giant fuck you spells. All I have is the tentacle from the first boss though.

Does the faerie not sing in English?

I'd say the english voices are better overall but since you're going to be hearing miriam most of the time it makes sense to stick with Jap dub, you'd miss out on Alot of good stuff like Alucards voice actor though.
Personally i always have my sword familliar up and he sounds fucking FUN in english so that's what i went with.

You don't want her to sing in english, trust me.

meanwhile, the Japanese audio is at least pleasant if unremarkable.

nearly all the Katana ones, which surprise, Katana gets the most techniques too. It has a Parry, a Rekka, a back-forward-back dash attack and probably something else useful I'm forgetting.

OD was funny after his battle.

>All dat extreme salt after you beat him when he says 'Pillage my library ALL. YOU. WANT!'.

Well Mr. Draculé. maybe if you let Miriam keep the book, instead of JUST SUDDENLY wanting to recover your goddamn book out of nowhere, maybe you wouldnt have your butt THAT kicked, dontcha think?

I'm at 99.2% and I cant find the last fraction of a percent fug

Seems sort of silly that za warudo doesn't work on Dominique but it does work on Bael. Also, the fact that OD backwards is DiO made me smile when I found out he was a time stopping knife throwing vampire.

I wish I had played on hard. The game became a cakewalk very early on, but I was too committed to restart on hard. I'm going to grind out lots of passive shards and get the first time food buffs, do a fast run of hard ng+, and then let nightmare push my shit in.

lmao so I'm not the only one this happened to.

Or he could asked for the books back before attacking.

unfortunately it's unique to the bandit blade for whatever reason and can't be mastered.

In his defense he did tell her that one book was super valuable.

Still wasn't worth trying to kill her for it back though. Calm down there Booknerd.

Where is the Celeste key?

-atrocious graphics, I've never seen such an ugly game in years and this had an over 5 million budget.
-awful chara design, Miriam is so bland and she's gonna be the face of the franchise, lol.
-bugged/unoptimized engine: bookshelf crashes, chests not giving their rewards, floating stuck item sacks that you have to wait 15 seconds to get, general clipping problems(Twin Dragon, etc), lag issues, bad enemy AI.
-uninspired OST and shitty sound direction(ARISE! MYSELF AND MY SHADOW! ad infinitum and the annoying sword familiar).
-unbalanced as fuck, you can basically beat the game using upgraded flame shot/water splash which are 1st area shards.
-the last 40% of the map was uninspired, unrelated to the castle thematically and re-used too many assets with lame level design/enemy placement.
-game progression was badly designed: you are stuck with 1 boring familiar until the early 20s then suddenly you can get 3 better ones at the same time until the final one much later with the book in-between.
-Circle had better designed bosses, only Zangetsu is an actual cool fight.
-unresponsive controls, doing the fighting game commands is frustrating.
-uncreative(just a castlevania game without using the IP) and relying on pop culture memes when it could have been its own thing.
-Word building, story, lore, dialogue and characters are bad and uninspired. And we're getting a franchise out of this.
-Bad JP and EN dubs, Miriam's personality is different in both dubs.
-Some weapon names look like mistranslations.
-Annoying quests that require rare enemy drops or specific respawnig chest drops.
-Hard Mode requiring a cheat code and no harder mode between it and Nightmare.

IGA confirmed hack and laughing all the way to the bank thanks to no skill gamers that want to play the same autismo farming/grinding kusoge forever.

BTW the sequel will re-use the assets, hahahahahhahahahaahha.

>when I found out he was a time stopping knife throwing vampire
what did i miss

Halls of Termination. Right near the around the teleport room. Keep hitting the ceiling until you find the hidden room it's in.

what does it do?

take the "ultimate book" from his library and go to the final area in the game, a cutscene room (I think) now has boss doors you can go through. OD will accost you for not returning his book and start a fight

Beating him gives you ZA WARUDO shard and lets you just take all of his books at once if you want.

Ignoring all the bait, reusing assets is considered a good thing now if BOTW the supposedly the greatest game of all time is doing it.

>bait

all these are valid complaints and the bugs STILL haven't been resolved after TWO patches.

I think passively it increases drop rates but the rank effect gives a chance to increase the number of items you get from alchemy. Maxed out you can get 5. You can use this for annoying to grind materials by making the item, getting x5 of it, and then desynthing for a net gain in materials (minus the cost in Alkahest). For example you can max out an 8 bit coin weapon (which uses a 32 bit coin plus an 8 bit nightmare, which is a rare drop from the 8 bit boss), get multiple copies and desynth for more 32 bit coins and 8 bit nightmares to max out the other weapons.

stop samefagging, it's pathetic

>legitimate complaints don't count because of a game that doesn't even exist yet

How much do you want to bet that his "strategy" to cure Miriam's crystal disease is to give her the dick on a regular basis?

Exactly what you see there. See x5 ? Craft only yield 1 but with alchemist shard, yunmy

Johannes actually knows the time. If you speak to him late at night he says that, and he notes if you're playing very early in the morning.

I think he also suggests taking a break if your current play session goes on for a long time.

do you have the Rank up material requirements, i think i am at Rank 5, and i require 9 golds so far. but i want to know what am i gonna have to grind to get next.

She's going to get his shard inside her, one way or another.

I (correctly) pegged Johannes as Miriam's beta orbiter from the start of the game; and I was right of course. He doesn't even get a handshake or a hug. Eternal friend zone till the end. Meanwhile the Weebarai will come back he survives zoom out ending and give miriam the dick she craves

So, how long is the game?

Desynth a thing of gold and just make it again with the materials you just got which makes gold buyable from the shop (base price 15K). The cost requirements are like:

(x3) 9 Silver
(x3) 9 Gold
(x2) 4 Alexandrite + 4 Bixbite

I didn't play Symphony of the Night so Alucard's english voice is a literal who to me, I also heard Snake's voice actor is in it too but I've never played Metal Gear either, so it's a literal who as well.
Meanwhile Miriam is voice by a seiyuu I recognize from Tales of Berseria for example, and Dominique is voice by one of my favorites eroge seiyuus of all times, I fucking love her voice.
There is literally no reason for me to play it in English.

Can't tell if zoomer or just bad taste.

15-20 hours

Everyone forgets the Vorpal Sword in SotN.

I acknowledged that you can upgrade it, user.

Tis Raiff/Welcome Company for red. I didn't use blue much.
Whips
Bloodbringer
To add to this, Directed Shield is my favorite directional shard.

Took me around 20 something hours. But that was also me trying to do as much as I could before beating the last boss. Which is kinda of the point of these games anyway

I'm 21 is that zoomer age?, I remember my older cousins playing Symphony of the Night but I was too young to play it, so I never did.

>Desynth a thing of gold and just make it again.

DAMN! i just remembered Gold HAS a recipe already, and i do have gold at hand for that. at least getting the bixbite and Alexandrite isnt gonna be that hard, since i already forged the Pleiades crown that uses those.

what do after vergil 2

everything besides loot being lost in walls in this list is subjective nonsense and nitpicking to pad it out. Bad OST? bad JP acting? right. Throwing around words like uninspired and uncreative really makes for a compelling argument. Really reminds me of monhun world "problems".

It just means that they put in an easter egg for people who know SotN tricks.

Lucky man

Game suffers from poor variation of hards.

Flame Cannon is better than everything for the majority of the game. Standard shards are all pretty much inferior to your standard melee. Early fucking crissaegem makes using any other weapon for the first half of the game pointless.

All in all this game is also piss easy.

Her dad is a samurai. It's in her blood.

that seems nice, thanks

Game progression is awful in weapons, shards familiars. This a fact

Except Back Steal and Lunging Serpent. Those cannot be mastered because the weapons they belong to have unique mechanisms to allow them.

gremory was the best boss in the game

>4.5 years younger than me
Unfortunately user, you're a zoomer. Start sharpening that video game taste by playing some PS1 games.

the graphics are such shit it looks like a fucking psp port

not a single weapon in the game is better at clearing shit than riga stormae and that is a standard shard

it is if you want it to be easy, just dont use it.

then again i used it so maybe i dont have right to speak, but still...

So I decided to just go ahead and go for hard mode on my first run. Just finished the boat and everything was fine except for the boss. I finally killed the bitch, but how the fuck were you supposed to dodge her water cannon attack? I tried back stepping, ducking, running to the back of the boat, attacking it, etc. Fucking nothing. I just managed to outlive her by not getting hit by anything else. What was the trick?

>Old man Zangetsu is her dad
possible

Don't kill her mooks, but use them as meat-shields.

you barely tried any of the other shards fully upgraded, huh?

Get fucked. The engine problems he listed STILL happen. I just lost progress due to the reading bookshelf crash but the dummied chest bug requires you to fucking re-start the game depending on the item.

The slowdowns are also annoying as fuck in my high end PC.

it only damages you if you're on the ground when it sweeps by, just jump when it goes by. I used that as an opportunity to jump up and hit the boss for a bit of damage.

god I ctd'd when reading a book and it put me off so much I just dropped the game. it's janky as hell

That's not the attack he means. He's talking about the giant screen-filling water blast that you can't dodge because IntiCreates thinks it looks cool.

>Don't kill her mooks, but use them as meat-shields
Wow. Really? Then I guess I would have never figured it out then. Thank god the rest of the boss is easy as shit.

How's a game that's 1:1 a Metroidvania(down to the items) but under a new IP name not both uncreative and uninspired?

>katana has six (6) techniques
Fucking weebs.

The Valkyrie Sword has a technique not listed (Down x2 and Attack), but you have to master this whole list to unlock it.

reach, irregular return, multiple hits.

Basically broken until the endgame ones.

Sooooo, what's the strongest weapon DPS wise? Blue Rose or Rhava Velar? And which passive do you stack, Augment STR or Sword Expertise? Assuming both are Rank 9, Grade 9.

That would be exhausting.

A lot of those points are either wrong or personal taste, so I guess it is.

Counter-argument or leave the thread, all those points are valid even if I backed the game and still playing.

Graphics are the worst offender together with the bugs/clipping/slowdown, balance is a matter of playstyle.

I just got the sink in water passive and the nun told me zangetsu said to go to a hot place? or something? but the desert is all mapped out and the only other accessible place is some abandoned sorcery lab.. is that the right area? the description made me think of some sort of fire/lava place

oh man , did you actually spent all this effort writhing all this for the (you) ? Here take it but please take care

Cumstained > Bloodstained

Keep going through the lab. You'll see what it means soon enough.

Yeah at end game after it's been outclassed by any other weapon you want. I dropped notvorpalblade as soon as I got the steam greatsword and started levelling up expertise for FAST

I want her modded in as both a replacement for Miriam and a replacement for the fairy familiar, so you can play as her or play as Miriam and have a little Aradia sit on your shoulder.

I think I broke the game a little. I was in an area with a bunch of teleportation gates and I went through one using the katana technique where you do an instant dash attack. Next thing I knew I was in a completely unconnected room.

It is, I'm guessing it just gets the parry for some reason and when you learn it you can use it for all regular swords? Never used it so I dunno.

How could Miriam satisfy Aradia after the thousand dicks she's taken?

He's meant to be Simon. For one thing, he can't change direction in mid-jump like Richter can, and he doesn't sport a headband like him or Trevor.

Damn I fucked that sentence up in 2 ways

Craft it once and then buy what you need with loadsamoney.

People enjoy the grinding loop, I guess. It's the same thing as Diablo.

Still, the bosses kinda felt phoned in this time around. E.g. the human bosses like Gebel, Dominique, OD and IGA are all pretty much the same thing. The teleport around and use elemental magic.

Am i really supposed to tank this spikes to get through? I mean, i already did, should've asked before i guess, i just want to know if i missed some spike immunity shit.

Its thanks to him I got my holy whip.

How lewd

Alright, where do I get 50 mercury then?

Go back to the twin towers and check for something to help get through spikes.

Do you read the description on the aegis plate?
Did you even get it yet?

There is an armor that gives you spike immunity

You did but no one can fault you for not finding it as the location is stupidly well hidden.

buy it in the shop

It's Simon, you idiot.

Mercury is sold from the shop by default, I believe.

Dont the maxed out yellow shards stack anyways? Just master them all.

the only good thing about this game is that they kept sequence breaking

BTW you can use jump kick to reach Bloodless way earlier since if you jump kick a candle your double jump counter is reset.

theres nothing there but A second row of spikes in the case you tried to tank it, you need the special armor after getting a special ability that lets you get it, there isnt even anything past the first row that you can normal reach without the ability.

*Well, he does wear a headband on closer inspection, but he still clearly isn't meant to be Richter.

>aegis plate
Looks like i missed something.

Go to the 2nd dragon tower and invert as soon as you enter the room.

how many armor's actually change your appearance? also does leveling grade matter if your just gonna make the shark passive?

It's the zombie Trevor from SOTN, same armor, same colors.

Durandal doesn't get parry, its a greatsword.
Blutgang is a normal sword, and is the one that gets parry.

Who the fuck came up with that "swimming" mechanic?

Can anyone help me find the last room I'm missing?

Attached: 10.png (1466x540, 1.17M)

Leveling grade on things like Resist X increases the amount of extra armor you get, even on the passive shard.

Assuming you manage to get through that alive, they just put another row of spikes on the other side with an iron maiden sitting in the middle. So you can't get through without protection and you have to go back through the spikes to leave.

The 44th demon is found on the train. Sit in the chair and look out the window, you have to have the volume up to know he showed up.

They become skill shards (always active) but you can stack them again for double effect. E.g. Rank 9, Grade 9 Augment LCK gives +10 LCK, if you also equip it as a passive then you get +20 LCK. Same for all the other passives.

I'm almost buying this game, but I want to know if I can play as pic related and if I can customize how he looks too. Mirian is very cute, but I'm more interested in him.

>BTW you can use jump kick to reach Bloodless way earlier since if you jump kick
Oh i know that, because i did that too without realizing, then i got really confused when they told me to go kill her in a cutscene.

ok, can it be done after you have already turned the shard passive?

no.

Can I get a mod that forces OD and Snake to be in English while everyone else remains Japanese?

Grade matters a lot. Grade 1 means just really shitty bonuses, like +1 or +3 to a stat, it's trash even if passive. Grade 9 gives +10. Same goes for all shard types.

No.

That said. You can always play Curse of the Moon (The 8-bit spinoff) he's playable there at least.

No, the dude appears literally only in 2 short cutscenes and it's a very disappointing boss fight. A lot of people have trouble NOT killing him because you need to trigger a thing when he's close to dying for story reasons and it's hard to pull off without outright killing him.

You need both rank and grade 9 for them to become skill shards?

How important is LCK
What does it actually effect.

>aradia picture
Clearly you enjoy girl-on-girl femdom and berating.

Fuck candlejack. His curse is lam

drops and crits in a nutshell

Rank up the Shard. It's only a basic few moves.
Each Rank and Grade increases her "Boots" damage, which in turn makes your slide and divekick damage stronger.
Rank 3: Rapid kick from mashing Attack (Can Hold once it starts)
Rank 6: Throwing Knife on Conjure Shard button
Rank 9: Rapid Kick becomes an upgraded hyper speed version, slide/divekick damage is increased massively over Rank 8

>Nightmare mode
>Almost every enemy has a grab move where they deal damage nonstop
>Die instantly
Should I save this for New Game + instead?

No. Just rank.

Only rank.

But they're shit without grade, so you might as well grind out both.

youtube.com/watch?v=TheGUOlWzp4

Rank will make skill shards, Grade increases potency.

Item and shard drop rates. So very important when crafting and shard farming... l

LCK affects your drops, which you may or may not care about, depending on your autism.

Is the critical ring or assassins ring better?

Wasn't he one of the playable characters, or can you only play as Mirian? Fuck, a little sad now, but I'll still give it a try, any chances of him being added later?

>If you're not playing it with Japanese audio you're doing yourself a disservice.
And losecSolid Snake and Alucard? Don't think so.

I don't know if its a good thing or not that a lot of the cosmetic options for Miriam make her look like a totally different person.

Attached: A CUTE.jpg (1920x1080, 446K)

It's the most important stat in IGA's games, since your power comes from whatever drops you get.

Generally speaking I'd suggest running around in a whatever max LCK set and then have a separate STR set for boss fights. There are shortcut shards that let you swap between sets.

Zangetsu is the only confirmed character that's gonna be added so far

They confirmed that we'll get more playable characters so who knows.

This is a waifu game. You can play as the dudes in the 8-bit spin off though.

It's fun to do that

Someday maybe. They are adding some extra characters like Zangetsu. So maybe he'll make the cut too.

There. Every complaint addressed. No need to be mad just because the game you hoped would die, lived.

Only two will be made playable in the full game (Zangetsu is one of them). The others will be limited to a special Boss Revenge mode where you control the bosses and try to kill Miriam.

You also get the Waluigi glasses he starts wearing after you beat him if you keep doing it. Miriam's version doesn't have the stache though.

I think grade is just a stat increase for whatever shard and rank is for the little special ability that's listed.

Hit him until he dies

Train your STANDO POWAH

Grade powers the shard up.

Red Shards: More projectiles
Blue: Greater power while using
Yellow: More stats increase
Green: More attack power for familiars


Just a small sample. Obviously read what the shards do to see what it boosts.

invert, shoot him with directional spells while he tries desperately to hit you, heal if he does bullshit timestop shit

DPS him fast enough that he doesn't Jojo reference you too much

How is David Hayter in this? He was really bad in Peace Walker.

I had a high level greatsword and Welcome Home activated. Multiple hits tend to slow down the game and make it easier to dodge his hits. Also, invert when he grabs you and tries to suck your blood.

still hilariously bad, especially when he tries to yell out the names of his moves he sound's really cringy weeblike

I was disappointed to learn that her "horns" are just a hairband thing. I thought she was a real demon.

He still can't get rid of his Snake voice even as a samurai

>I thought she was a real demon.

At least you get an even better demon horn accessory and can color her to look more supernatural.

what does the fairy loli familiar do besides shoot arrows that do fuck all damage? I'm assuming from the red aura that surrounds enemies when they get hit by it that it has another purpose beyond just damage?

Bovine plumes from the gold cow in the weeb lab. You craft it using the plumes and double jump shard.

You can't find it. You have to make it yourself in the Alchemy room.

Past the train portion, in the underground laboratory boss fight,

He's not playable yet. He also sucks as a boss. Shame, he got fucked. His design looks so awesome in that pic.

Just didn't think to scroll all the way to the right. Kinda bad design IMO.

Mostly of what you're missing is in the shop.

invert at the first room of entrance part of castle and hope you have the aegis armor to stop spikes

Go to the cathedral and go past the area filled with spikes.

The bosses in the Inti 2d game were sooo much better than this game. I like this one don't get me wrong but I think I prefer the first.

You need buy too and get weapon from enemies. Not all get unlocked through recipe alone

Killed the 8 bit nightmare boss like 15 times already, still no shard.

115 LCK and Solomon's Ring. This is fucking retarded.

I love how it just sounds like they're a little irritated about dying. LIke they're saying "Ooouugh that one smarts".

invert the tower where you beat double dragons

>One item away from 100%

Flying blade from a secret...somewhere (towers maybe?) and its upgraded form. Hat from werewolves at the tower. Valkyrie tiara from under the large jew. Scarf from the shop.

Do the story shards (e.g. double jump) and accelerator carry over? They didn't in DS games.

Can you earn more + food stats per new game? Or just once?

>find me a game without a glitch
>chess

this is a funny mistake

Story shards don't carry over. Accelerator does.

Accelerator isn't a story shard, but yes, the story shards don't carry over.

shovel armor changes gameplay completely, and the bunny shard I guess?

Only once.

The Valkyrie Armor cover her tits. And nope, it's the only unique looking piece in the game, also objectively the best since it has the highest LCK bonus.

There's a shovel knight armor that makes you look like a shovel knight which is kinda a reference to Axe Armor from SOTN. And then there's the playboy bunny spell.

then what about shards that are upgraded from story like high jump?

Man, this old bitch can fucking eat.

They've got a lot of balls putting an item there when this place has nothing.

The celeste key. Didn't even think of looking where it was and I was tearing through all maps with accelerator looking for a bunch of hidden rooms. While I did end up doing and finding a lot more hidden areas I never did find the key on my own. Felt so dumb when I found out where it was at.

Besides that. I guess the 44 enemy too. Wouldn't think of doing what you had to do in order to fight it.

HELL- KILL-

Seems like the book familiar is objectively the best one. It boosts your STR by quite a bit meaning your Rhava Velar attacks get much stronger.

Silver Knight is good mid game though since it can completely block any projectile attack, even from a boss. But it's random. The sword is probably the worst since it's so slow and misses most of the time.

Buer is useful early game because you can jump kick off it and reach higher places.

I was getting that every time Bloodbringer attacked yesterday.

the only one of those that was in the shop was the scarf dunno how I missed that

>Kill all of them
>No acknowledgment whatsoever
Well fuck you too Lindsay.

Sword Familiar is meant to be leveled up only for you to equip it later, it gets insanely strong as a weapon.

Did you also kill IGA?

I keep swapping between the two and honestly I prefer the english audio in this case, even though I’m generally a weeb who wouldn’t touch a dub with a ten foot pole.

Yes

By murdering them you've become a murderer as well. You're next on the list.

It's still nowhere as strong as Blue Rose and Rhava Velar BTFO's both of them.

Is ranking up from enhancing the shards or getting more of the shard?

>>Best OD
Just because he has Alucard's VA doesn't mean he's good. His acting is awful.

how the fuck...

Im playing it on my switch and its crashed a few times already sadly

I believe you get to choose difficulty every time you NG+, just like in all the previous games.

How many hours did you play user?

It's braindead on normal and obnoxious on hard.

>His acting is awful.
Because SOTN was known for its quality voice acting.

How do you have it on switch already?

Do you get to keep anything?

25 hours and I'm about to be done with all the grinding. Not sure if I'm going to bother with NG+ hard mode, doesn't seem like there's anything new in there. At least Aria/Dawn had unique gear for hard mode.

I have never played SotN. Should I just emulate that and play it instead of this?

yeah but he barely talks there and sounds really aloff which fit the character, here he has too many god damn lines for a librarian

>farm for like 3 hours

AW YEEEE THESE STATS ARE FUCKIN SICK

Is this game legitimate? I was worried it was going to turn out like M#9. Did it actually turn out good or is Yea Forums shilling hard?

Is this game worth buying on PC? I kinda want it for Switch but does the game have any modding potential?

Pretty sure it's just a basic nude mod for the steam/PC version.

I don't know what point you thought I was making but that definitely wasn't it. SotN's voice acting is remembered for how bad it was, getting the same guy back for Bloodstained just resulted in a character with mediocre voice acting.

It's almost always shilling at launch but that doesn't impact whether or not the game is actually good.

im bout to start a playthrough on nightmare, suggest me a build and maybe I'll even try guns this time

Nvm just found it, thank you user.

It's great fun. Buggy, but great fun. But it's not by any means perfect.

There is some crust because unreal but it actually is good

Is backstepping useful? I never really used it because I spent most of the game in Lili form. It doesn't seem as good as just jumping away.

It's janky, buggy, and rushed, but it's pretty good. Also ugly.

MN9 averted at least.

I've been getting my shit rocked on Normal. Most attacks do over 100 damage to me.

Anybody else feel like the story was really bad? A bunch of alchemists summon a demon's castle because of course. And you're the chosen one. And that other dude with the same powers as you is the bad guys. But not really. And then all those literally who characters that you had fuck all time to bond with dying left and right in the last hour and you're supposed to care?

And then the hilarious plot hole/fuck up where Miriam and Johannes destroy the castle from the inside. Yet, they're shown outside as it crumbles down in the next scene. How did they get out? And what happened to Anne?

Everything except story-crucial shards and items.

Level your shards up and buy/craft new gear, I thought you could get through this shit just buy finding stuff along the way too. Nah, you pretty much need buy/craft.

Seriously, Bloodless needs to be a reoccurring character in this series. After all she's a vampire. When I first saw her, I even thought she'd be an important NPC or something. Too bad her only role is so that you could unplug the drain on a fountain.

>Anybody else feel like the story was really bad?
It's par for the course with an Iga game. but yeah, it's underwhelming even by that standard.

Are they other playable characters gonna be like say Richter mode where you don't get the customization options Miriam has?

It's a fucking Castlevania game? Do you like Castlevania? Yes? Then you'll like this. No? Then you wont.

poor girl died in the rubble thinking dominique was a good person all along an d watching her store for her

It's Order of Ecclesia 2.0, it was quite obvious from the start.

get fairy pots and she will auto heal you

>There's a shard to turn Miriam into bunnyslut
>But no shard to turn her into guitar-playing rockstar
It's just NOT FAIR!

Well it's pretty close to the original story in Castlevania. Dominique is pretty much female Mathias.

continue using lili form, backstep is only good for movement cancelling really
the story is downright anime meme tier, those characters that die and all are the protags from the previous game, Curse of the Moon, and the cutscenes are abrupt as shit

However I found it comical cause I never took it seriously. I also love Anne's english VA its so overt its hilarious.

It felt like it wanted to be OoE near the end but fucked up.

Even Curse did it's story better and it's an AU and barely even there.

So far they said there will be 3 playable characters, so far only Zangetsu is confirmed although dataminers found Dominique to be the other one. I'm not sure where user is getting that we can play as bosses though. Although you did get to play as Gebel in CotM.

>And then the hilarious plot hole/fuck up where Miriam and Johannes destroy the castle from the inside. Yet, they're shown outside as it crumbles down in the next scene. How did they get out? And what happened to Anne?
They could have just used a waystone to teleport to the village, where Anne most likely was.

Way to fucking contribute you faggot, he mentioned Might No. 9 too, I’m sure mega man fans loved that shit too according to you, fucking invalid

I was expecting Ecclesia 2.0 and thought Johannes was gonna Albus me at some point.

I dont know about customization options for the 2nd playable character, but Zangetsu is coming as the other playable boyo, the guy voiced by David Hayter in english. Take that whichever way you want, I'm excited, but I have no idea if he will be customizable, and I care way more about boss revenge mode.
best girl

Iga is a mediocre writer, but he's done better more interesting stories. Aria has a great setup, and a great cast. The PS2 games had some interesting characters and scenes.

Order is the one game he didn't write, and it feels a lot more fresh and interesting.

Where is this?
I need to blitz the trail to motivation STAT.

How'd you get that from the post? They were saying that it's good enough to be liked by Castlevania fans, unlike MN9 which was not good enough to be like Megaman fans.

thanks user

If only. More likely the sequel will have her be adopted by Miriam and Johannes as a new assistant.

I actually do, but I use the other one because the Ponytail is the last hair style I have to unlock, and I don't know where it is.

Miriam mentions Gebel being her friend from long time ago and Albus was Shanoa's friend.

one of the giant rooms where you need to flip to the top

In my experience shard levels do nothing despite the menu listing rank effects. How many do I need to farm to notice a difference?

This Alfred battle is stupid, how did they even allow this in the final game?

Boss revenge mode was one of their stretch goals that was met and is due in their 13 free DLC thing, so it is confirmed by them it will eventually come which I really bloody hope it does

>Order of Ecclesia 2.0
More like 0.8 beta. OoE's story was actually good.

anyone else see the shadow of a character in the ending on the right side of the screen when miriam and johanese walked away? I thought it'd have zangetsu show up or something but it just goes directly to credits

Mighty 9 had a plethora of things wrong with it that were vocalized to grand degree by multiple sources and was an absolute shit show to everyone. You could pretty much learn after a day whether or not the game was shit without have ever having had interest in knowing that in the first place. Nobody has fucking come out en masse and said this game was absolute horseshit from day, now have they?

It's Zangetsu. You can see him fully if you hack the game to zoom out ultra-wide.

True but Gebel wasn't just being a cunt whereas Albus was being a cunt with good intentions.

Proof?

Stuck on that shit for hours. The second phase is pure cancer.

good for exploration, but the most broken spell is the 8bit fireball. at 9/9 it takes to RTs to kill almost any boss because it fires multiple fireballs and each one hits hard.

>Flying Edge against any enemy
I should hunt down Criss, but this is already like taking candy from a baby.

Not gonna lie. That was probably one of the weaker bosses in the whole game.

>It's another Alfred fucking flash speeds his way over the arena over and over episode

can anybody show me what my retard ass is missing

Attached: map.jpg (2560x1440, 910K)

ya that spell is stupid strong it completely replaced riga tohan or whatever the big fireball was called for me

lmao, how fucking bad you are

you can get through the desert area just fine but can't dodge some slow ass spells? just shoot him with a whatever strongest shard you have

I don't know how to link just the webm itself, but here it is.

reddit.com/r/Bloodstained/comments/c4f8ti/ending_spoilers_playing_on_ultrawide_and_noticed/

a bunch of fucking chests for one

>game says I already got the wolf hood in the wolfman page
well it can go fuck itself then I suppose. Cheers

My best spell does like 13 damage to him and I only have about 10 casts before I'm out of mana.

That scarf

nice, at least he's not a jobber

Does grade effect passive shards when they've been turned into skill shards and you don't have the passive equipped?

Help
I've now finished all three sidequest chains up to the point of needing Fell Leaves and other stuff I assume comes from giant land. No idea what to do now.

he just wants his fucking sword back but is too much of an autist to interrupt the conversation

Underground Sorcery Lab, the room with the cat has a breakable wall

What? In the sand area? Gale Crawler fucking won me that fight easily. Just dodge the curse and the rest is easy.

Those are probably just respawned silver chests, which is fucking annoying that they don't have a different icon from regular ones.

Hoes mad

I beat that battle with just the maxed out True Arrow but I'm sure you have access to even better shards at this point

You might want to revisit the shop/alchemist dude and upgrade your shit

Well designed game given to successive C-tier developers. The gameplay shines through myriad implementation problems, but the jank-ass hitboxes drive me insane.

chests count for map percentage?

Of course it does. Grade affects how big of a bonus to your stats/weapon speed/damage whatever the fuck they give you.

no but if im OCD enough to 100% a map, those chest icons will trigger me HARD

I mean if you want nude Miriam, sure. Get the PC version. Otherwise it's probably not worth it if you can get a console version with less hassle.

it's bottom tier shit, not green chests

chests respawn though

Story, lore and characters are awful.

And we're getting as franchise out of this shit...

RIP then, the game shows you the respawning chests with the same icon as non-respawning ones.

True Arrow is what I'm using. I think it's rank 3.

they don't show up on the map unless you get close to them

The Switch version has terribly low res textures and only 30 fps.

Like Castlevania was any better once IGA went full-autist on the timeline.

I'm amazed that everyone else is not seeing this. I have put 32 hours in the game and 100% it except for 9/9 some shards. I really loved getting a new castlevania but this is a very good summary of all the issues I had with the game, as a whole the game felt good but it's forgettable for the huge list of issues you listed. I'd give it an 8 but I wouldn't get mad if someone gave it a lower score, even a 7.

100% agreed and those who don't... which game you played?

this means you have to memorize where they are and dance around without getting too close to them when they respawn to grab other ones then never visit those areas again

Look, I don't deny this game still has a lot of issues. It's playable and I enjoy it, but there's definite room for improvement.

Okay, so that was one of the rooms, can anybody help me find what appears to be the last room?

>nude Miriam
Before this thread dies, where?

did you get the breakable wall behind one of the warp gates in weebland

That looks like an upscaled psp game

Which part near the warp gate in weebland?

>30 fps
No fucking way
