someone pls help. i just got inversion and inverted around. I've been running in circles for a while. Any ideas where to go from here?

Gee user if only there was some place with a massive open ceiling where the power of invert would be helpful

I thought I went there already and there was a bridge blocking the way but I might be a full retard. It's probably the latter.

Also, is it worth investing on 16bit coins?

16 bit coins and then 32 bit ones are crafting materials to upgrade the weapons you can make with 8 bit ones.

user look at my image again you are not where i circled, more to the left

Why not the switch version

Look at the right of the image retards

finally returned my switch version, I'll buy it again if the port becomes unfucked. hope you guys are having fun ;_;

Shhhh i was saving that for when he saw the obstacle first

You can play as zangetsu in Curse of the Moon

I think my map is bugged, im stuck at 99,90%

Do you enjoy 14 FPS with the lowest graphics possible?
I don't even blame the Switch for this. The game is just poorly optimized in general, and still has tons of crashes in obvious places.

thats just spikes of death. i cant go through those even with inversion

checking now

I want to buy it but it's unfindable in my area...

You actually can! just bring a shitton of health items and abuse the fact that when you get damaged you get knocked back to the direction you are not facing.

But yeah it is better if you get the item on the smaller circle to the right of the image, will make it easier in the long run

>post tips, discoveries
Okay, here is a useful one for people who want to use Katanas.
The best Katana in the game, Great Izayoi, can be upgraded by aborbing with Blood Steal, I grinded for hours and 58 seems to be the highest attack it can get, so once you get to 58 you can stop grinding.
It doesn't take too long to get to that attack, I grinded in that room in the Underground Sorcery Lab with the 6 Gusion, just kill them all and absorb the blood until the sword is stacked full.

Mod potential looking good so far
nexusmods.com/bloodstainedritualofthenight/mods/17

I booted up the beta backer demo again out of curiosity, and man I'm glad they decided to delay the game because holy shit, these graphics are way worse than what we got in the endgame. I'm surprised Igarashi was okay with launching the game with those graphics.

>there was a second of Zangetsu gameplay in the launch trailer
>he's still probably months away from being done
I hope that the devs avert the kickstarter trend of taking years to deliver on their promises

That's what I was wondering about. It's usually no biggie, just a cutscene thing that will happen regardless of your actions. So even if everyone tells player character how bad "it" will get if you let "it" progress, usually there's no pay-off in terms of gameplay nor stroy wise.
I hope it's not completion-related and selling shards to resident titty monster will save me from what I assume is bad ending.

Nope, it's like that for everyone, you're missing a room.

Go to these lonely missing spots on the top of the tower you fought the dragons and pay attention to what you will find there.

I just went to that spot on the map (it turned blue) and nothing was there. should I be looking inside or outside the right tower?

I would but im addicted to Kenshi, dont play that game, man. It will eat your life away.

It's not bugged, everyone gets stuck in the end missing some rooms, and I know it's hard to find wich ones are missing even comparing two maps, but keep trying.

Can anyone please prove to me that the airborne triple flying kick is possible once in a row let alone twice in a row on the switch version before I spend another 2 hours going insane?

go to the very bottom of the tower and look around for a good place to invert

I found a neat black and white dress. but thats about it. that was on the outside.

Is it even possible on PC? I swear the fighting game inputs are all janky and bugged everywhere.

His point was that he thinks the transparent room is the .1% he's missing.
It's not, just a weird visual bug that everyone has.

What's the name of the "dress" you found? Have you checked both sides?

It's all very possible

Please help me, someone. I'm so close to done.

Im checking the left tower now. i dont see any other places to go on the right tower.

iirc beating the final boss adds to the completion %

AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! IM ABOUT TO DO IT!!!! GIVE ME ONE REASON NOT TO!!!! I WANT A COMFY HANDHELD GAME BUT THE SWITCH VERSION IS SHIT!!! DO I WAIT!?!? I REEEEEALLY WANNA PLAY THIS!!!

Why would you play on a censored console?

Nah, it's a good game for console too, user. I say go for it unless you genuinely fully prefer RPG's on handheld consoles, which I'd understand, but this one's plenty of fun on console.

im checking now. by that I assume you mean the outside of the right tower, top and bottom. I am doing another run. But all i found was the white dress so far.

That dress you found is in the middle of the tower. You have to go the very bottom of the right tower and invert to go to the top, from outside.

Is there any way to make this run in a potato, anons?

Post bloodless

How do you not know about Snoy?

I disliked hollow knight.
One of my favourite games is Portrait of Ruin.

Sell me on this game. Because whenever the fuck I asked for a good Castlevania style game, I got told to play Hollow Knight which is fuck all like Castlevania

That got me to 99.90%. Thank you, you two. Just a bit more, I guess.

actually it maxes at 58 atk which corresponds to 4500 l of blood

Best way to farm is to find an enemy that bleeds like archer in near the entrance's teleport room, use Standstill and slash way with Rhava Velar for around 2 minutes. Done

Just get it on ps4, the Switch version will likely never compare fully as Switch is just too weak

I did that, but I didn't find anything once I landed there.

Attached: huh.png (1888x1052, 3.15M)

This isn't a castlevania style game, it's straight up a castlevania game. Basically the third "of Sorrow"

I dont think this game got censored but a lot of Sorny games are getting censored now

.........4 tha payers am i rite

oh no im retarded. its literally on the other side. sorry anons. my IQ is too low.

Portrait and Order still are superior games to this, this one has more broken stuff than SOTN

Oh shit, of course I know. I was referring to this game specifically. Thanks for the info

DoS isn't too bad. Nowhere near as good as PoR, CotM or OoE.

Broken how? I mean SotN basically had zero difficultity after Doppleganger.

>keep using Welcome Company and running into shit
>drill sword shard takes care of everything else and shreds bosses
>also have a small army of dullahan heads eating things
do other shards even exist?

This game also has 0 difficulty on Normal mode, but you can name your file NIGHTMARE to immediately unlock Hard and Nightmare, and Hard also becomes trivial a few bosses in so I'd suggest Nightmare

>after Doppleganger
You mean the boss you can time stop with the clock and beat in seconds? SOTN is quite easy for seasoned players, but newcomers still die a lot.

Broken in the player’s favor.

Better Crissaegrim, auto lock homing thunder attack for easy farming, screen wide napalm magic, dog nuke, etc

Clearing rooms has never been this easy in a IGAvania

Magic completely outclasses melee and you get too much HP/MP to even have to use items

Similarly there's no difficulty here after the 1st Zangetsu fight

PC version is 4 bucks cheaper and you can use a (superior) controller of your choice, runs on a toaster too

For what purpose

Attached: Bloodstained.webm (654x508, 2.87M)

Interesting, so it's like PoR on hard mode or something?

Honestly, I just remember that once I hit level 10, the entire game was trivialized for me when I first played it. Granted, I played it after I first pled CotM which apparently is one of the hardest ones but I thought it was fairly easy outside of hte first time I fought necromancer

Well i'll figure out something. I'll use Cheat Engine to mod my stats I guess to keep myself at level 1 or something. What is dog nuke?

MP fills faster while sitting.

To flex on bosses

Nightmare mode locks you at level 1

pantsu mod when?

I wish was that chair

Indeed, I use chair to fill my MP in just 3 hours instead of 6

Post uncensored link

>go back to the train stage
>if you sit on the chairs the camera goes through the window so you can enjoy the view
nice.

Even Nightmare becomes trivial, we really need a balanced harder mode without dying in 1 or 2 hits early

There's a Chaos Mode incoming, let's hope it's good

The real OP shard is Tis rosine. It's a pure laser you shoot from your hand. No bullshiting aroud, just instant zapping, and you can control the direction.
The shards are relatively easy to craft, and the damage is OP. If you tap the button, then you can avoid using more than 4 MP per shot. Since it drains MP over time, you can exploit this by only firing for a few frames.
It will drain about 4MP, but will still do damage on contact.
So you basically have an OP gun. Tap to shoot, and MP never gets drained.

I imagine they're going to patch this. They will probably make it drain a chunk of MP on start up. So try it out now, while it's still pure and exploitable.

Travel from Garden of Madness to the Twin Dragon Tower (all ground level). As soon as you walk through the area transition door to the Tower region, invert. You will find a chest with what you need guarded by a patch of spikes.

They appear to be the same, except void ray is less annoying, because she doesn't say the name every time. And also, they're different elements. Tis Rosin was doing more damage to dark enemies. And void ray was doing significantly less.

Yeah, I used that shield shard from that one shield knight. It nullifies most of his bullshit. And then spammed room filling magic when he summoned demons. I forget which. Probably that huge ice spell.

I really wish there was more variety with the quests.

fuck. I sold that shard. I can get it back though. Is beating him worth anything?

This game is pretty great! The only downside is the story and characters are much to be desired.
Apart from that, there's a ton of love in every other area

>Muttering anime phrases under your breath while doing anything.
I'm sorry user but you're afflicted with terminal autism.

Fuck I'm dead

whats the fastest way to make money in this game? I need to grind megas for 2 bosses.

Oh, good, I don't wanna be a fag.

You get his shard, but I haven't even tried it out. So I dunno.
Why sell shards? There's no reason to. Every shard adds to the ability strength. And mundane shit like wool is worth a lot of money, and you probably have a shit load of it.

Attached: Farm.webm (720x404, 2.72M)

Bloodbringer is from level and grade and rank so all of them show an increase. You can see this by looking at the sword in your equipment. I can't have it equipped and him as a pet at same time.

The characters are so shamelessly generic they loop back around to being almost endearing to me. Like watching a cheesy amateur play.

i dont have that ability yet. where in the map is that anyway?

>every vilager name that you need to avenge is a castlevania character

rude but somehow fitting

if you dont have that yet just use the spining sword purple shard and you will be fine, that thing only becomes obsolete when you fight the bitch

i dont have it either

Like Castlevania was the pinnacle of character development when it was originally a parody of cheesy monster movies.

Why is bloodless so perfect?

Haha literally just like in PoR

I must say this game is pretty fun. Also the katanas really help selling the weeb experience.

How do I play as David Hayter's character?

The nip voice
I didn't care too much for her until I heard her speak

i dont belive solid samurai DLC is out yet

I think that all the belmonts are endearing, and soma and alucard too, they all are unique in certain ways.

Like juste is basically "I fight for my friends" personified, he's such a bro to maxim he goes to such extents to get him back, what an absolute chad. Richter is a bit more goofy but well meaning, i like his really shitty english VA from rondo. Alucard is more introverted because he's a vampire, but his great strength and turmoil over his mother gives him drive to stop his bad dad

I could go on ,but like... it seems like Miriam lacks in a ton of ways, might just be her dialogue, but her backstory is pretty hastily explained away in the first bit. I guess its harder to make a main antagonist too, because dracula is so iconic

I dont get it. Im destroying the lamps in that area and am only getting 10g at most

In a soon coming update, along with a third playable

equip the thief rings
i belive bigger luck = bigger money

I hope Alfred is playable. And eventually Gebel. I know it makes 0 plot sense but I want the full curse of the moon cast there

You need the Augment Gold shard made at the crafting shop, and you need to make 9 of them.

she is like juste but change room decorating to cooking

When you find Augment LCK, go back to home base and use it to create Augment Gold. And then get it to Rank 9 and equip it both as a Passive and a Skill shard.

shit. i only have plunderers ring. do I gotta kill monkeys to get that one?

shit nigga ok. gotta grind to be able to grind. but itll be a good investment.

i thought cooking was johannes's thing

shes is the one cooking

No. Get any version but Switch if you can.

Reabeast's Edge is glitched on the PS4 version. The 8-bit coin model and the 32-bit coin model do the same damage. Dunno about the other versions. Might be good for early cheese.

It was the least efficient way of making money in PoR when you could just dupe quest rewards and max your money in less than 5 minutes.

Buy a Hofud from the store and dismantle it. Then dismantle the Gold and rebuild it. You can now buy Gold from the store.

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Wait, is this a mod using the unused Alucard textures for O.D?

I love the game but not sure it's "Trinity" material

Sell off shit you don't need.

Dead Cells isn't good enough

Not only is the game uglier and glitchier but it runs at about half speed. Miriam moves so damn slowly I don't know how anybody can actually finish the game on Switch. Brother double dipped on it and the Switch version is just outright bad compared to the PS4's. The PS4 version still has problems too but nowhere near as bad.

No, it's a backer code. Simply write your profile name as "DARKMETAMORPHOSIS" then you need to beat the game using toy shoes only on nightmare.

If done right, O.D. will wear Alucard's colors when you meet him.

How isn't IGA being sued for this game? He namedrops Castlevania characters in the quests and the 8 bit level is Castlevania.

I bought it and now it says I dont have enough Alckehest stock. it requires 10. I have 3. whatever that means.

Also I hope I can get some of those weapons I sold back. I want to recollect em all later.

So they are not unused, neat

Did they fix NG+ with enemy health getting adjusted so you don't 1-shot every boss?

You can't trademark real first names, user. The 8bit level is also all original sprites.

You'd make a better case using the not-a belmont boss.

Yea but everything combined you can make a case. I am going to email Konami see what they can do.

OD is literally Alucard wearing a different jacket. It's straight up rip-off.

I thought all the DLC would be free. Why is the IGA fight $10

You can buy Alkahest from the store too. Do you even pay attention?

Replace Dead Cells with La-Mulana 2. La-Mulana 2 is wisdom, Bloodstained is power and Hollow Knight is courage.

Is the switch version still broken? I wanna play it portable...

no. ive kind of been rushing cuz I only have 2 days to play this game until a few months cuz my semester starts on monday U-U

content exclusive to kickstarter backers that they decided to let people have

Supposed to be backer only content.

Is that a bug? Pretty sure many games don't increase enemy health, because it's more fun to play while overpowered.
If you want a greater challenge, then play hard mode.

This is the mostsoy shit I ever read.

Does luck affect shard drops or only items?

Normal just sounds boring from what I keep reading everywhere.

The holy trinity being represented by the triforce, goes back farther than Rick&Morty, wojak, and basedboy memes.

I'm torn between the former two, fortunately I have this on my PC and Mario Maker on the Switch so I just play that on the go or in bed and this while on the computer. Vanias are best played with a controller on a big TV anyways

No. Stop making shit up.

Normal was boring. I didn't know how to start on hard mode. It was locked for me.

PC version is worth it just to mod out the gay backer paintings and mod in the titties.

Enter NIGHTMARE as your name when starting a new game and it will unlock from the beginning.

I really, sincerely hope we see a Bloodstained 2 within five years and they aren’t just stuck doing stretch-goal DLC for the rest of our lives like with Shovel Knight

I'm afraid Hard isn't any different once you get past Zangetsu. You'll still become OP as fuck and just melt the bosses later.
Currently playing on Nightmare NG and I'm hoping the level cap will make it better.

That fucking idiot doesnt understand what the onions part of the post is, which is the Nintendo reference.

It unlocks both.
Note that you can only use one special name password per game so if you used NIGHTMARE you can't use any of the special weapons codes with it.

Technically, no.

>some backer
>literally looks like some generic anime chick

Honestly surprised IGA didn't go with someone like Faust, Mephistopheles, or Nicolas Flamel as the dark lord.

I don’t get the appeal of Metroidvanias. So the main draw / concept of these games is giant sidescrolling maps you get lost in.

...How is that fun? I guess mentally mapping out stuff is some tick that I just don’t understand? Not only that, but you can’t take a break from a playthrough, because the moment you do you are lost and forget all the map.

Where can I find the Thief's Ring?

I really dislike the way whips work in this game. I hope eventually someone mods the PC version to make them work like various Castlevania whips.

Wait seriously? Going to try to test this.

That's what the sword whip is for.

How do you equip a shard as both a passive and a skill shard? I thought passive shards could only be passive?

context: Augment Gold

I've been using them through most of the game. My only complaint is that there seems to be a dead spot in the upper right corner as sometimes whipping small enemies like ghosts while jumping will have the attack phase through them.

I thought the same when I started but I've really come to like the whip in the harder difficulties. Also, what said. Sword-Whip has the classic straight line attack.

But she's technically 28 years old, user. It doesn't matter what she looks like or mentally is.

Attached: 28 year old.jpg (1200x1054, 195K)

They become a passive when you rank 9, then you have 2.

Try to get more grade and more rank. Upperlevel Bunnification is outright busted. Chun-li kicks for mega damage and dagger tossing for minimal MP cost. Plus your jump kick becomes insanely powerful. Top tap enemies into oblivion just like Chun-li too.

So I don't have to manually equip anything? Its already set up? I'm trying to do webm below
but my max drop is 500. apparently i need 2 shard equips and thief's ring (which I dunno where it is located)

>toe tap

The passive shard automatically equips itself once you unlock it and you don't have to mess with it. You can still use the yellow shard and it stacks with the passive version.

Attached: augment gold.png (1920x1080, 1.3M)

so is this game completely not related to curse of the moon? I beat that game once, so I thought it was strange that zangetsu did not recognize miriam and vice versa.

They're not connected at all.

got it. thanks. but how come my drops are still only 100 with max 500? the webm has 1,000-2,000 range with 500 average. Do I need thief's ring? where is it?

What grade is your shard?

You need Augment Gold both equipped and as a skill shard to get the maximum effect.

The fuck, are you saying you do have both Augment Golds and your highest is 500?
If you don't have both you ain't gonna get consistent 1-2ks

How do you do that?

ok thanks. Both games were very fun.

Nah it's an OC named Relia Dinescu

max that grade, user.

Grade 1, go collect 8 more.

You're like the third person to ask this in this single string of comments.

yellow passive shards become white shards when they hit rank 9.

That was it, thank you. I was wondering where that final Silver Knight shard was, since I had heard from someone that there are five of them in total intentionally so that you're forced to do NG+ to get a Grade 9 one.

On that topic, does Grade 9 Silver Knight do anything special, or just more damage? I know he seemed to get more moves when I upgraded his rank, like that big lance of light thrust he does, but I figure his grade will just lead to stronger hits of the same size, not new moves, interactions, and easter eggs. Still, he was the Kickstarter pet that backers voted for, so if any familiar would have some special stuff going on, it's him in my mind.

Can Grand Izayoi only go up to 58 atk?

Correct. Which is the same as Blue Rose if I'm not mistaken.

Miriam was also supposed to be able to use Gunvolt's chain attack. I'm assuming that got cut when IntiCreates got the boot.

>dev time basically cut in half due to them trashing most of IntiCreates' work and bringing in other developers midway through

Wonder how big the castle would have been if they didn't have to make compromises to finally get the game out. Hidden Desert is basically the part where you can tell they had to rush everything.

Isn't the Ribbon headgear the same design one of the Gunvolt girls wears?

Bros, is there anything cooling then using Jinrai? Cause I don't think there is.

Probably deemed generic-looking enough that they could keep it and claim it's not from Gunvolt.

Which is better for farming drops like Bovine Plume, Augment Gold or Augment LCK? I have both at Rank 9 + Grade 9, so I'm just already running both as passive Skill Shards, but I'm asking which one to throw into the actual Passive slot. Or is there something even better that I'm unaware of?

What happened with IntiCreate? I wasn't even aware they were involved in the game, wasn't really following it because I expected another Mighty Number 9 fiasco.

Jinrai with max Shadow Tracer.

From what I've heard, they were going too slow for IGA's taste and he was getting desperate, so he sacked them and brought in WayForward instead.

They were lagging behind and doing substandard work as they had no UE4 experience from what I heard. Devs mostly only made 2D sprite based games and then they get thrown into a totally new operating environment and couldn't adapt quickly enough.

Could someone give me this character's name? I see her shipped with Miriam a lot, and they of course look similar, but I'm not sure what she's even from. Some hentai game, maybe, or a Tales game?

Gameplay is really fun, story is trash.

There is no prequel game, just a mock-8-bit spin-off.

And it's most likely going to be Dominique.

that doesnt mean shit cuz Alfred was playable prequel game but datamine says dominique.

where can I find this one?

Invert with the armor on.

Isn’t Dracula a public domains thing? What’s preventing Iga from just using him in a new setting? Or is it like Konami has the copyright for Dracula being used on this context?

The gameplay is fun, but I'll be honest, I guessed the twist of this game years ago when one character's design was revealed, and the game's story played out exactly as I expected as such.

Serious spoiler, stop reading now if you don't want that: Honestly, I'm amazed that some people are surprised Dominique turned out to be evil. How often is the church depicted as truly benevolent in stories, especially ones made by easterners? I knew that Trinity Blood chick was evil the second she was shown off in a Kickstarter backer update as 'Miriam's ally'.

japan has very strict copyright laws

alright I'll bite. where do I get the best guns?

>Trinity Blood
I knew something about her was ringing bells in the back of my head. That was it.

Attached: trinity-blood-vol-9.jpg (1200x1811, 396K)

The best one is the fully upgraded 8-bit gun.

Dracula is public-domain, but Konami's Dracula isn't. I imagine making O.D. into a clear expy of Alucard is running dangerously close to a legal issue as it is.

Doesn't help, dick head, he still has too much HP

probably because bunny attacks are based of INT and armored enemies have low resistance

Isn't the church good though? It's just tittynun that's evil.

Are there other weirdly hidden items like the Valkyrie Sword? I had 100% map completion and had no idea it even existed until I saw someone dimension shift to it in a video.

Someone literally said use summon chair in this very thread

if any of this is true, then inti creates probably just sold them on that they can do it, because they have other game experience. Iga, even though he had some funding, still needed kickstarter to make this game. He needed a developer and there must not have been many options at the time.

Considering how many companies had to be brought on board, I am hoping this game at least made enough money to make more games.

Did they fix the low-res models used as portraits and the performance issues?

How do I know which shards "max out" after a certain number held?

Do you have the sniffing man webm where his nose turns into the dog nose

Rank & Grade 9 Chisel Barrage rips through everything so hard you won't even use your main weapon.

>Take elevator in Tower of Twin Dragons to second floor.
>Grind room with three lamps for 10 minutes
>Never be poor again.

Yeah but that's common as fuck in these stories. The church itself is fine but oh Pastor Jerry is a fuck who turned to demon-summoning to avenge his wife's death or some such yadda yadda. We've all seen stories like that play out plenty of times.

In this case, the Church is neutral at worst. They clearly don't like Shardbinders due to their ties to demons and alchemists, but they seem willing to tolerate Miriam and Johannes for the sake of getting rid of demons. They just didn't think the exorcist they had sent out to assist them was playing everybody for saps.

This game has guns?
Considering purchasing now.

nope, only it requires having the Eye of Horus equipped in a particular room

bad game design

so cute

See:

When you get a new shard from an enemy you don't get the item notification at the bottom, it means that you can't hold more of those.

There was an additional character that did nothing that stood next to her at the shop. It was clear that something was going to happen, otherwise that npc would serve no purpose.

Wait so the Iga boss is literally just Iga?

What I mean is....unless I misunderstood, the game tells you that for at least some shard skills, they stop gaining power after you gain a certain number (less than 10 probably), so you should sell your excess shards for these skills. My question is how to know which shard skills max out after a certain number of shards held.

You need to invest on bullets for them to be good but when you do it they are really powerful.

So lads, I'm past the entrance and a few screens in to the castle but I'm finding the difficulty kind of weak. Does it get harder or should I start a new game using the nightmare code?

Was that something that Dominique said?
Don't believe her lies

You literally cannot collect more than 9 of any one shard. Any gained after 9 is wasted and lost.

There is zero reason to sell any shards and reduce their Grade.

So is it just me or does the difficulty drop considerably once you find the Rhava Bural? This shit just rips through everything.

Attached: maxresdefault[1].jpg (1280x720, 209K)

Go ahead and increase the difficulty. For me, it started off easy but I had some difficulty with a few bosses.

You can only get nine of a shard.
"Grade" is that amount.
Any more you collect of a shard isn't added to your inventory.
Don't sell shards it's pointless and just makes that shard weaker.

should i buy the Switch version?

it's only gonna get easier

I guess I misunderstood then. So to confirm, every single shard skill gains power until level 9 at least?

P-please respond, a save close to him works too, just having the Glacier area unlocked

Fuck off and play it yourself already.

What is enemy #44?

>can farm AP/HP bullets super early game from garden archers
>mid game silver bullets are cheap and effective
all you really need is a gunslinger's hat which you can get stupid early.

Shards have two power ratings. The Grade is their base power and increases as you collect more of that shard. The Rank offers enhanced or secondary effects and is raised by spending materials you collect. Both cap at 9.

Also, getting a yellow shard to Rank 9 allows you to have its effects active without equipping it, but equipping it will double its effects.

>weapon of the area does good damage
gee user, you don't say?

Oracle Blade

Is it rude though? Castlevania as a series is essentially dead, it's not like Konami will be making more any time soon. Might as well avenge them.

He means a hat that let you use bullets without spending any of them, but bullets are really cheap so feel free to use guns before getting the hat.

I know it was just to keep the function available for gameplay reasons, but Anne being taught to handle shards is definitely going to end up being important in the sequel.

Recycle Hat, it makes it so you don't spend bullets when using guns, then you just need to equip Diamond Bullets and you done.

Yeah he just stands there or walks until he hits a wall (and keeprt walking into the wall in place) depending on whether he was standing or walking when he died. Gives the chisle barrage shard. Not sure if the death is bugged or if he's supposed to do that. He also resparns and attacks again when you reenter the room but without the boss music.

Does Dies Irae do anything special? I haven't crafted it yet because it has 8 less base Attack than the Durandal I'd need to give up to make it, so I've held back since I kind of like the Durandal's damage for where I am in the game.

The official forums have been speculating for a while now that the Deseama shard would've originally been given by Focalor. His Curse of the Moon stage is clearly based on the underground waterway with elements of the Frozen Tomb, and one of his attacks even resembles the ability.

Except day 1 all the fags on here were saying you had to have zero shards in inventory to get the true ending. You are gay.

It's an IGAvania. No such things exist in these games.

They at least tried to nudge the player in the right direction with that enemy having the highest shard drop rate in the game and Lindsay having a kill quest for them.

ARISE MYSELF AND MY SHADOW!

>Story
If you came here expecting a good story, that's on you. Castlevania was never about a good plot.

>Balance
So I suppose you're one of those niggers complaining about some shards being OP on the Steam forums, huh?

>Optimization
>Bugs
Technical issues already mentioned.

>Lack of difficulty
Kind of fair but at the end of the day it comes back to how Igarashi seems to "balance" his games. He just want to have fun with overpowered spells and shit. And that's what his fans like, so here we are.

My PC isn't the best, and it runs fine. I've seen some PS4 gameplay from some streams and it runs fine they're too. I'm pretty sure only the Switch version has the really noticeable frame issues, so just don't get that version if you have a choice.

>I trusted Yea Forums about how a brand new game works and I was fucked over for it
An even bigger twist. Someone's assmad that they actually fell for bait. If you believed that the completionist game would fuck you over for being completionist, you're absolutely fucking retarded, regardless of the thematic warnings the characters give you for plot reasons.

They've all got pregnancy tits

fuck this game. His body being glowy petals better mean I can rezz his dumbass

In case anyone is wondering why the character portraits are still 1080P in 4k it's because the menus and those models are rendered into a 1920x1080 texture not directly to the display. If you play the game in 720p they get downsampled and AAed but if you play in 4k they get upscaled and look like shit. And in 1080p forced AA doesn't work on them (or the Miriam model in the equipment menu or the demons in the archive either) for the same reason. As far as driver level forced FSAA is concerned it's a texture and it can't "see" it (any sort of offscreen rendering has this problem with FSAA btw)

My shitty 4gb ram toaster can run the game just fine.

The Child of Light tease is likely going to be a gag, like a Familiar shard of the main character to accompany Shovel Knight.

new thread before this 404's

It wasn't bait. I was there. You are still very gay.

>Story
An interesting story could justify the cutscenes, so why even have them

>Balance
The game is too easy even without using the OP shards, even on fresh Nightmare.

>Optimization
>Bugs
Which the patches made worse or created new

>Lack of difficulty
There's no attempt at balance, this is the game where it's the easiest to clear rooms or facetank bosses.

Are you an igafag?

Beat the ninja in Den of Behemoths .

>I-It wasn't bait! I wasn't baited! I'm just mad because Yea Forums's shit, that's it!

game hangs in every version for a second calculating the Bone Morte's drop outside the town's teleporter

Slowdowns happen every time there's too much stuff on the screen or fighting large enemies

Don't do that, wait for the thread to be dead before you make a new one, unless you want a mod to move it to /vg/ again.

I have a shitty i5 8600k and Radeon Rx560 and it runs at 1080p 60fps with no slowdowns so I don't know what you're getting on about.
