Given the overall disappointment with Bloodstained...

Given the overall disappointment with Bloodstained, I'm expecting Konami to release either an HD remaster of Symphony of The Night with all the cut content from the Saturn version or a new Castlevania (classic or metroidvania, doesn't matter) to humiliate that hack IGA in front of the entire world and to show the public what a true Castlevania is.

What the fuck is Konami waiting for? This is the moment to strike, when the steel is hot

Hey.

How ya doing?

How the fuck do I jump on lamps in Bloodstained?

You need the double jump shard. It's mandatory so you'll get it eventually.

Bloodstained is good, would still love a complete version of SOTN though

I have the double jump shard. Do I have to upgrade it? Do I need high jump?

is this a copypasta? people like bloodstained overall. this is retarded.

What the fuck do I do after obtaining the Invert grav thingy? All I can see left on my map is that roof with the spikes, so I'm guessing I missed something that lets me walk on them?

Attached: 1561824513711.jpg (1314x2160, 721K)

Then all you do is dive kick onto the lamp. After you double jump, press down/down-right/down-left, and the jump button in midair.

Have you got the blood drain shard yet? If not, explore the cathedral more

where do you think you are?

Yes and I've already drained that blood pool

I'll give you the same tip I got. Now that you have invert explore the tower.

Did you explore the clocktower with the gravity shift?

Go to where you fought the twin dragons and look for spikes.

Ahh shit yeah, I know where you are. Invert at the twin dragon towers. There's some interesting stuff up there. Especially at the left entrance of the left tower

Makes sense now, the only place I didn't double check after the grav shift was the clock tower. Guess I'm heading there now.

Attached: 1561627430275.jpg (799x1200, 95K)

Double jump then hold diagonal down and attack to dive kick. If you have boots on you can kill monsters this way.

Got it. Thanks a lot. I saw all those conveniently placed lamps,but I didn't know about dive kick.

I've seen some dissapointment but that's mostly aimed at the meh graphics and shitty Switch port. Most people seem to love the game.

>HD remaster of Symphony of The Night
this is the worst thing on Yea Forums i've read in the past few months

Konami doesn't make video games anymore, expecting a new Castlevania is as much wishful thinking as expecting a new Silent Hill.

I'd rather see a remaster of the GBA games.

I honestly don't understand the hate boner towards Bloodstained. It looks fine, it plays great and its only flaw is the one shared by the other Symphony-like Castlevanias: it's too easy.

Fortunately Yea Forums seems to be the only one who hates it so much.

Most of Yea Forums has been positive towards it. We've had almost non-stop threads for a week after all.
Visually it's kind of jank and the boss fights aren't the best, but it's good.

seriously pachinko jokes have never been funny, so talk badly about konami as much as you want but stop this bullshit, you're not funny and you'll never be.

Lol, hold up. People do not hate this game, it was generally decided that it's a good game but it has flaws.

Not them but you're literally retarded if you think Konami will produce a new CV. The closest they've gotten to that is a mobile title with micro transactions. They don't keep staff internally for niche franchises like this anymore, it would just be outsourced to China.

>b-but Konami said they have surprises
Sure, a MGS remake by Bluepoint with David Hayter. And probably a new collection including a multiplat port of MGS4, or a f2p micro transaction version of MGO. Other franchises like Castlevania and Silent Hill sell like poop (especially IGA's castlevania games), they're not worth the production effort. Also this is the same company that booked a timeslot at E3 to show off the turbografx mini, as if it was something fans cared for. That's what they think about when say surprise.

Based, also 1999 will never happen. Just because IGA is onboard, doesn't mean Konami is.

Have to attack on them (down+jump or attack button) like every other castlevania. Dont need any shard to do it

they also said that before the turbo gfx mini, and look what we got. the turbo gfx mini.

PC-engine was more popular than megadrive in japan and that's where their target is, they are aiming to esports at the moment in fact their 2 big games for these few months are PES for the west and Pro Baseball spirits for japan, what you idiots don't understand is that they didn't abandon the console market in favour of mobile and gambling machines, they've abandoned the west in favour of japan in which mobile games are the biggest thing ever, in fact they make tons of money with boys be dancing, power pro app and stuff like that, they abandoned whiny westerner cretins like you who think that the all world should cater to them for some reason, who buy into every fake "pro-consumer" bullshit narrative and only ask for the same stagnating bullshit over and over again, but don't even care to buy it in the rare cases when it's delivered because developer X or PR Y said a think or wrote a message on twitter that triggered you LMAO. that's how pathetic contemporary gamers have become.

Can you read? No one said anything about abandoning consoles, they obviously make console games for franchises that sell well. The post you're replying to specifically says they don't staff internally for niche franchises that sell poorly like Castlevania (also a franchise that was always more popular in the west than Japan).

The Saturn content for SOTN was shit.

and even so why externalize is considered a bad thing? commision a new sidescrolling castlevania for example to vanillaware and they will make a game that looks 100 times better than shitstained ritual of diarrhea.

except Konami wouldn't commission Vanillaware, Japanese talent is costly, they're far more likely to export to China or even Eastern Europe like Vatra

What's the best gun in bloodstained?

Thanks, friend.

I thought Bloodstained received overall good reception. I mean, I'm playing on the Switch version and even with the occasional lag or load screens it's still a very good game.

Why are some people so pissy over Bloodstained doing well?

No.

Because mighty number 9 flopped and it was done by the same developer studios

Because Yea Forums is obsessed with failure

All Konami needs to do is remaster Lament of Innocence & Curse of Darkness. It's so easy.

Because this board is full of people who spend hours combing through social media to find topics that upset them and then shove them down the rest of our throats to convert us into their willing minions.

This game proves that a bad producer can ruin a game in that case.

>last area is rushed

In all fairness, the ending sequence in a lot of Iga's games are a letdown in some capacity. OoE probably not so much.

5 studios worked on Bloodstained, and I think 3 of them worked on Mighty 9 as well.

Shame the 3D Castlevanias never did well. A competent remake of Legacy of Darknes would've been cool.
Well, I guess LoS did well, but that's not really what I want.

Which was my point. Iga probably had a better vision for his game compared to Inafune.

But Bloodstained is good. Just rather fucking buggy.
Finished it just now. Was initially put off by the shitty art style but I saw some gameplay and decided to give it a go. Glad I did.

I can see what he's talking about since you get dimensional shift only for it to be used for a single room, and there aren't any secret areas in either the glacial tomb or the xbox hueg area above it. Also like you said, not entirely sure why they chose for the ice area to be the final place instead of the said huge area.

MN9 was 100% Inti-Creates.

Bloodstained was:
>Inti-Creates
>Dico
>Wayforward
>like 3 others we don't know what they did

Those games are awful.

>Wayforward
What even was wayforward involved with? Making the first boss?

Why does he wear the fake nose?

The English voice acting is good

Because he lost against Miriam so he is a fool.

Because he has been humiliated

>not entirely sure why they chose for the ice area to be the final place instead of the said huge area.
It's supposed to be a Dante's Inferno reference, the spot in Hell reserved for traitors (like who you're chasing at this point).

They were brought on to finish the game a few months before release. Never clear what they even did. I did notice that ports were cancelled right after WF was added.

We can speculate that Dico wasn't making fast enough progress, WF is brought on. They say they gotta scale back the game significantly. Then WF is probably finishing the end areas of the game.

Now Artplay and WF are working on the game. Dico has no continued involvement.

It's a great game with more DLC on the way

I wish they would hire the guys who made Rebirth again, that was peak castlekino

The first boss was all IntiCreates, evidenced by her having their trademark screen-filling attack with only one obscure safe spot.

All of the 3Dvanias are extremely underrated

I'm kind of glad in that case. Despite Shantae is so-so, they do know how to make platformers.

I was mostly joking because of Giga Mermaid boss.

Shantae is the third playable character

Inti-Creates made the boat area, and it seems literally nothing else. So it looked okay to backers as they got a demo, but 1 year of progress and a boat area they barely completed did not impress Iga. So he fired them. Dico then worked on the majority of the game. WF worked on the end of the game.

Don't joke like that to me, user.

You would have to remake the fucking game

Take his best book and then go back to the ice area. You'll see it.

99% of castle discovered lets you lend a Tome of Conquest from him, after that warp to the ice-place and proceed normally, you will find him waiting in a nearby room asking for his book back.

Not everyone owns a Switch.

>to humiliate that hack IGA
U wot m8? Iga left Konami on relatively ok terms. He didn't leave like how Inafune did, saying that Capcom is a dying company destined for failure because the Japanese are shit game devs making shit games.

It's still a great game on Switch, it just has an assload of technical issues.

Tnx anons

When the fuck is Harmony of Despair 2?

Curse of the Moon is what Iga should have made Inti make in the first place. Inti makes great 2D games and shit 2.5D games. Mighty no. 9 is a trashfire while Mighty Gunvolt Burst is great.

I'm skeptical about that 99% map part. I don't remember the map percentage I had when I borrowed it, but I don't think it has bearing on when it becomes available.

I just did it by accident. Take the last book in the list from the library, it's especially powerful. Then warp to ice place and the room is just nearby.

I have seen people say its 99 or 98%. Its definitely based on the map percentage since he doesnt spawn there "normally."

A co-op mode is coming to ROTN, one can only hope it functions similarly.
and isn't buggy as fuck at launch

they''re too busy humiliating themselves with mass producing pachinko machines for their yakuza overlords

I had a feeling it was based on how far you've progressed and that it becomes available after beating Gremory. I'm gonna have to check next time I play through.

IGA was probably the only person at Konami actually trying to pitch new Castlevania games. The last actual games were what, Rebirth and Harmony of Despair? After that MercurySteam did Lords of Shadow, IGA left and the series has been dead for years. You really think that's a coincidence?

>IGA was probably the only person at Konami actually trying to pitch new Castlevania games.

yes, he was. His 3D game with Alucard was going nowhere, so Konami opened themselves up to other pitches. The Spanish guys got the contract and Iga's game was cancelled. Iga then pouted and didn't think it proper to pitch handheld games after that. But honestly he probably could have and should have at least tried.

Cuz they weren't selling.

I still want Harmony of Despair on the PC.

It'll be a while until we see sales figures, but it is looking like Bloodstained is very financially successful, possibly near shovel knight tier. Certainly more than a Turd In Bed.

Hat in Time ended up being a very different game than they initially promised.

Shovel Knight is practically THE Kickstarter success story, to the point where other game project beg the character to appear for the status boost. None other can compare.

hat in time only sold well because it appeals to pedos and children

I think 6 at this point in time if you overlook the game crashing ever few hours and breaking is a fair score. Actually thinking about it maybe 5 is much more fair, I hope that Zangetsu plays well though.

That makes sense, but it really could've been designed better. It's just a boring, old ice cave.

We might be looking at something like 1 million sales in a week or two user. That's big time.

where does it end?

I'll give you that one.

Bloodstained had IGA as an established name. Shovel Knight was made by no-names who broke off from WayForward. SK's success is still far greater for the people involved.

Bloodstained is the top of my list personally but it very much speaks to exactly what I wanted out of this kind of thing so I'm biased.

It's literally in a few hallways in a single area and he makes a perfect replacement for the Axe Armor from previous games. I know SK cameos have become almost a trope in KS titles but this one was done really well.

At least that one you have to actually go on and look for it. I really don't mind the SK enemy though, and find funny that some people paid to get either their portraits or pets destroyed by Miriam.

What's the hardest boss in Bloodstained you can repeatedly fight?

Inti was fired from the main game and they were allowed to do the small 2D game as a kind of consolation prize.

I think in terms of when you can first encounter them, this is correct. Carpenter is kind of close but I think (not sure) you reach him after you get Invert which nullifies everything he does sans summoning demons.

Really? Bloodstained gameplay is miles ahead of this janky try.

I honestly thought Iga would come back to Konami but after Bloodstained I think he won't.

What did Konami do piss off most of their most prestiged developers anyway? Iga, Kojimbo, Kamiya, Peter Molyneux. Honestly, there must be some terrible stuff happening inside those buildings.

Konami jsut decided that AAA games weren't worth it so they tried to shut down that division. Gambling and mobile games only after that.

Japs don't fire people so they try to piss people off so they quit. That caused a lot of friction. Imagine trying to force an entire division to quit.

>already working on further ruining Castlevania
One ticket out of this ride, please.

These are okay games but awful Castlevanias, especially the first. If you removed the title, I'd never guess this was supposed to be part of the CV franchise.

The later games leaned into the lore more but never did it well and the combat was always so boring and hit-spongey.

That said, I actually liked almost every redesign they did and wouldn't hate to see them show up in some form in a future game. Gabriel/Dracula, Trevor/Alucard and Simon all looked great.

Games are only a fraction of what they do. They'll never go bankrupt. Just like how Sony makes 50% of their revenue from life insurance.

Nah, as far as I know their current strategy is financially working for them so they're not going anywhere. The best we can hope for is that the sell or license out the IPs we want for other devs to do something with.

At the very least they could focus on getting their existing games ported to new platforms, like MGS collection on PC and shit.

I remember hearing somewhere Capcom is supported almost entirely by the owners vineyards and the games division is the least profitable

how does it run on PC? mine isn't really good.

I think it was probably the same deal with Inafune and Mega Man. I wish that hack was still with Capcom

Finally finished this quest last night while switching the dub to Japanese since I beat the game and will play NG+ in Japanese just to see how it feels.

>Miriam says "Yatta!" when crafting and prepping meals
>Says "oishii" when eating new meals

Fuck, my heart. Also, Bloodbringer sounds worlds better in Japanese. I dunno why they went so over the top with "DIIIIIIIIIIIE" when the Japanese dub just says "Shine!"

Using his method I have no fucking clue but Directional Shield is a necessity for boss medals and still help a lot with just surviving the fight. Here's a cheese method someone used (still requires knowing the fight a bit):

youtu.be/sDXpYOT8jPg

Old Castlevanias made by Iga.

Be ready to be disappointed otherwise.

I fucking hated this old glutton bitch because thanks to her I never touched the cooking system.
I remember her asking for onigiri, and the recipe said that I needed rice, but I could not find rice anywhere. Call me a brainlet, but the whole cooking/alchemy system seemed too complicated to me.
After killing the evil nun I decided to get 100% completion, so I went back to the galleon. Turns out I could give seeds to some NPC and eventually harvest fucking RICE. The stupid rice was so close to me but I never bothered going back to the galleon. I guess it was my fault, but fuck this stupid demanding hag, I offered you pizza, but you still wanted your rice ball.

FEED ME MIRIAM

what?
I thought the IGA fight was the 8bit nightmare boss. Is this DLC content?

WHERE DOES THAT FUCKING PEPPER FOR THE SAUCE OF THAT WEIRD ASS OMELETTE GROW
GOD DAMN IT WHY ARE YOU SO HUNGRY

Honestly, save this shit till endgame. Most of the material isn't available until at least the Oriental Lab anyway. Get your Alchemic Bounty maxed and use that to craft multiples of anything she asks for so you're boosting your own stats at the same time, then you can break down the extras to recoup the ingredients and make more dishes.

PH is Japanese freeware.

Pepper is found in chest after the train area

Underground sorcery lab

Yeah, it's the content of the Iga's Back Pack. It adds Iga as a boss (pumped up Dracula) and you get the SwordWhip as a reward as well as a shard which makes Miriam throw a wineglass to make a Holy Water type effect.

Is there any porn of her?

Thanks.
What frustrated me was that throughout the game I collected tons of "ingredients" and once I went back to Johannes I expected Miriam to be able to cook several dishes, but most of the recipes were grayed out. At some point I just gave up I never bothered with it.
Thinking about it, I think it made the game more enjoyable and challenging.

The shard is okay once upgraded.

The whip isn't great.

If Bloodstained sells over 2 mirrion troops what are the chances for Konami to actually do something with their IP?

Only thing I crafted ASAP were the dessert drinks since they boost MP Regen.

Of note, once you make something you can buy it in the shop (basic incredients have their own tab, meals get added to the "potion" tab) so you can buy one, break it down then duplicate it using Alchemic Bounty if you need a specific incredient, rather than farming for it. Becomes a real non-issue once you can double stack Augment Gold and farm candles.

She's playing both sides and picking up a steady paycheck from it. She played Iga like a fiddle!

IGA admits he'll go back to Konami if they offer him a new Castlevania to make, though I would hope he passes and focuses on perfecting Bloodstained instead.

I haven't played Bloodstained and don't plan to but almost everyone seems to love it. You just sound like a salty faggot. Castlevania is pretty based though. Hope we get a new one.

I don't think he'd abandon Bloodstained but may do both if it came up. I don't see it ever happening but he's also said he wants Bloodstained to be a franchise if this one is successful.

I think he, like the rest of us, just mostly wants to see 1999 made.

Some people think Gajin is a negative term.

>overall disappointment

the game is doing amazing, barring review bombs, and is great. You're literally retarded but no one in your life has had the guts to actually tell you.

You spend HoD chasing Maxim and OoE chasing Albus. Both require the usual obscure hoops to be jumped before Dracula shows his face.

Axe Outsider's name didn't get changed though, so that seems a bit far-fetched.

Falseflag is the worst kind of OP

Unfortunately no. I asked on the official Reddit but they said there aren't plans currently to release higher res versions but they'd look into it.

It's cool though. And it's special attack is neat.

The Bandit Blade is literally the Alucard Sword. Same hilt design, same teleport slash attack.

that's bizarre, oh well

I'm rocking the Valkyrie Sword for the extra technique. I wish it weren't exclusive to that sword but I like having as many techniques available as possible.

Side question, what's the best Whip in the game? Other than the 8 Bit one you can charge to swap elements, do any have special properties?

They really need to add a FF+Attack technique that whips straight out like classic CV.

I mean, it's a special reward for backers of a certain tier. I kind of get it because otherwise people could just make their own covers with it.

I found Bloodstained so good do I decided to go back and give a real try to SOTN since I didn't like it way way back then.
I'm really enjoying it right now (though not as much as BS)
Which Castlevania should I play next? Ecclesia looks cool and flashy

I can get it to come out but can't maintain it. They really should widen the window for taps.

Or they can let you just hold the button down after the move activates, like it does for Bunnymorphosis speed kicks.

Ecclesia is pretty good but so is Portrait of Ruin either way you will get that awesome feel from these DS games.

Ecclesia is my favorite Castlevania, it's very fast paced with your MP regenerating at light speed and the rhythm you can get with your alternating glyphs making your DPS higher than any previous Castlevania protagonist. If you can stomach the kinda barebones level design, it's a ton of fun. Absolutely outstanding OST too

He said good, user.

Keep in mind that if you want to cut down on the tedium with the sidequests in OoE, the only ones that give you things that are particularly helpful are the ones for the chef and the ones for the seemingly lesbian seamstress. Former gives you some really cheap and effective healing items, latter gives you pretty good armor. I think the jewler lady also gives you an endgame-tier crown at the end of her questline, but that's it. The rest just give novelties and stuff that isn't overly useful, although some of them don't require any grinding.

It's already on PC and SHOULD be out today for consoles. I would assume Fangamer will send out redemption codes for backers via e-mail.

There are talks about fixing the Switch version, but don't expect it to be out any time soon.

What's the point of reflector ray other than to navigate through obvious forced obstacles?

I just see the code for the main game. Was there an extra tier for this?

Make jumps that double jump cant quite reach before you get high jump / invert

That is the point of it, though you can use it to bypass annoying enemies and do damage

Don't enemies have the same HP on all difficulties? He should have 1000.

BLAZE IT

Doesn't happen to me. Are you sure you didn't max out Private's eye and making it become an passive bonus you can turn off?

I’m gonna buy the game just because I think it’ll piss this autist off. Is it on Switch or PS4?

You gonna bait there has to be subtlety to it m8

I thought enemies gain an increase in all stats on hard mode, including HP. But I never compared any of the stats so I was not sure.

Thats most likely the case, thank you for your patience.

Ignoring the shiposting but still going to use something from it. Konami are retarded for not chasing the wave and release a collection for Swtich with all the Igavania's. Its not that hard to do it and people would swarm and buy it.

On PC, PS4, Xbone,and Switch. PC version is the best followed by the PS4 and Xbone. Only get the Switch if you have no other option as it's a bungled port.

Easy to miss if you've never used the passive before, so don't mind it.

Why would he come back? I'm pretty sure Konami blacklisted him like what they did to Kojima Productions employees.

Sometimes the green circle just doesn't appear even though the skill is active, so when it does appear correctly it can seem like a completely random effect.

>Kojimbo
I actually met one of the composer for the soundtrack and what he understood from the office talk, someone with a lower status compared to Kojima who had a grudge against him got promoted and ultimately got him fired while Kojima also bled money with MGS5.
It's only a rumor though.

My bad, I compared a few more entries now and normal enemies do get health increase (as well as more XP), but boss health stays the same.

I just can't rush through an Igavania, same thing happened with all the previous ones as I always end up overleveled for the final boss.

Why not play Nightmare, then? Though you still get overpowered shards

You can force Zangetsu to do his chain-jump attack by shooting at him with a gun nonstop.
Evade that attack, get some distance away from him and repeat, he'll either use that chain jump again or his taunt+counter.

DMC3 is a groundbreaking game worthy of your time, but DMC1 is just kinda passable.
I'm a big sucker for atmosphere and I don't even think the castle in DMC1 was memorable at all.
Bloodstained is great too, I'd say it's a consistent 8.5/10 from start to finish that will last you at least 20 hours if you're invested.
But DMC3 is a 10/10.

Parry also works

Depends on your tastes, user. Do you want constant combos and stylish 3D action gameplay? DMC. Want 2D exploration/crafting and experimenting with different abilities? Bloodstained

They did try to steal Igarashi's thunder but all they got were repacks.

I want to know who made that repack, Konami's headquarters must've been completely empty for the past like 3 years

You can do it with Invert too.

Managed to beat Zangetsu no damage on Nightmare. It boilded down to me drinking MP restoration in phase 2 to spam the arrow shard and him not using his uppercut once. Tried using a gun but it didn't work out for me. Probably requires more precise positioning than what I did.

In the end, I would say most of the english actors were fine. Gebel and Alfred were good, Zangetsu was enjoyable because of the inherent silliness of Hayter's voice, and the little girl was annoying in both languages. I'm indifferent about the rest.
Though it did seem like english Miriam felt more emotionless.

Missed opportunity for a proper dick move.

I've never seen anyone claim he is the creator of CV, just as a person who kept the franchise alive until Konami killed it.

He's worshiped as a guy who worked on several castlevania games that were all good.
Whatever work he actually did doesn't really matter, he's just the only face the metroidvania side of the franchise has.

He's the co-creator of the Metroidvania style that helped regain interest in the series, and the producer that managed to make good games for the franchise even with Konami's limited budget.

You fell into his clever plan of rusing you so you would continue to bump the thread off page 10

I think the only big offender is the aegis plate at the twin towers. I only came upon it by chance since I had exhausted every other option, and decided to fill out the map.

He's been the announcer for a handful of Tekken games, but Alucard is pretty much his career highlight.

When you get invert, the first thing you do is check the places you can go up. You will find that the main one is blocked by spikes, so that means you have to check other places. And the tower didn't leave that unexplored blocks up there by mistake.

God bless.

Problem with it is I didn't know that that's where I needed to go. So I went and explored there picked up the Valkyrie Armor, but didn't figure out how to get the chest with the Aegis Plate, assumed I needed some shard from later in the game and left to explore elsewhere. I got stuck for a very long time because of that.

I am well aware, but it's kind of a shot in the dark. The way the circular tower areas filled the map was weird, so it was easy to dismiss them as "oh, I didn't double jump high enough there".

Yeah it’s a metroidvania, dingus

When you’re stuck, check unexplored blocks

What I'm doing wrong? I just defeated the old guy.

That's what I did, as I mentioned in my other post above. All I'm getting at is that every other major roadblock I could clearly see, but those two corner blocks at the tower were just odd. I wouldn't have had any issue with it if it had been in a separate spot from the circling tower, in a way that it'd leave a clearer vertical line of unexplored tiles.

You can now walk underwater, so you can use reflector ray underwater as well. Get through that small gap in the waterway.

Play Luna Touhou Nights instead

You didn't go to the train yet. Talk to the shopkeepr or OD to see if triggers something, then you can go to that big hallway in the middle right.

It wasn't that his Alucard pitch was going nowhere it was that Kojima convinced the higher ups to back MercurySteam's new IP as a new Castlevania instead. Iga's project never even got to start proper development.

So is the train, I will check.

>Kojima convinced the higher ups to back MercurySteam's new IP as a new Castlevania

Why tho. Did she even do art for it?

It’s fucking bizarre that MercurySteam has gotten to make both Castlevania and Metroid.

I beat the game on my first go with the BIGHEAD cheat active. I can not see Miriam without that huge oversized head, and I am forever mad that the doppelganger boss didn't have a big head as well.

>it was Kojima
Bullshit. Konami just added his name for popularity.

Hideo Kojima, not Ayami.

Not Ayami Kojima, they're talking about Hideo Kojima.
His name was heavily used in marketing for LoS.

Why the weird fixation with Buer?

He cute

What is this?

Just fanart, an interpretation of Julius vs Dracula(?) in the demon castle war.

>buer
>buer disk armor
>buer chariot
>buer familiar

Not worth it when katana is the superior fighting style. You can spam the katana dash during boss fights and not even get hit

What katanas have the dash?
I had been using the Fish Stick and the Zangetsuto, neither have it.

Giant Buer made me laugh when I first saw it.

This is what is known as "First game for a given library of assets" syndrome

Iga missed on the opportunity on including directional, passive and manipulative buer shards

When's Zangetsu?

Attached: zangetsu.png (1920x1080, 1.65M)

4 months.

>did Craftwork no damage on Nightmare in less than 30 seconds by just shooting it with all the ammo I gained from grinding those arrow shards

>Pillage my shelves as you please...
I feel terrible now.

No way
For real?
Did one of the 505 guys actually say that?

Buer best familiar, you can throw it around, it breathes fire, it even helps you reaching high places by kicking it off.

No, biggest one was the way to navigate water. No other Igavania has had such a necessary soul/skill/whatever be a random drop from a monster instead of being in a hard to miss spot. First one should have been in one of those containers the Shortcut and Silver Knight shards are in with the farmable monster version found underwater later so you can raise it's grade.

>no playable Cirno or clownpiss

no point

>Still whining, O.D. Have you heard enough? I had to listen to this for centuries

Oh yeah, fair point. I just happened to shoot away at those swimming enemies with directional shards, and got the thing, and proceeded on my merry way.

>he don't kill every single new enemy until he gets it's shard to see what it does

So we had a Kid Dracula game. Will get get a Kid Gebal and Miriam game now?

Some people don't and will just turn around and go elsewhere as the game hasn't hid a necessary movement option in a random enemy. I myself murder everything until I get every single drop table filled in but others won't.

and meant the game hasn't hid a necessary feature in a random enemy before that point.

When do you guys think we'll get Zangetsu on pc?

Konami won't give a shit

Konami doesn't even has any real upcoming games

Raikiri and Mikazuki.

>Konami buys rights to Bloodstained
>Huge announcement incoming
>Bloodstained Pachinko machines

Did you miss the big 3D Contra game that they showed in Nintendo's E3 Direct?

>Konami
>Make a game
Doubt

Alfred risked everything to save Miriam so she wouldn't get used for the sacrifice. He then proceeds to tell her nothing in the castle and actually tries to murder her instead of trying to drop hints to just leave him alone and let him do his job of retrieving the book

I hate that the entire plot was so predictable with who was really a good guy and who was really the baddies. Although I give them credit as I expected Johannes to turn on you and they didn't and Solid Snake actually a reason for not trusting you at first.

>Did you miss... Contra...?
Yes I miss Contra very much. Shattered Soldier is my favorite game

Konami isn't a game company anymore and Castlevania es a dead franchise.

>directional
That shard Decarabia drops, like circular saw thing, but with Brue. Yuge hitstun.
>passive
Backstep augment, increases distance, briefly turns you into Bruer, dealing some damage with hitstun to enemies in front of you
>manipulation
Turns you into Bruer, fast as fuck, can climb walls (if invert shard is obtained), can use flamethrower directional shard.

So water jet is not guarantied after all... I got mine within 2 maybe 3 kills and I had to kill them because they were in my way. Felt like natural way to progress.

You're hanging out on the train when this guy walks up and chain grabs your woman.

What do you do?

This image doesnt really scream "Castlevania" to me

show him a picture of Keifer Sutherland

Why is your Miriam a gay furry nigger?

I love that wolf mask.

Because I couldn't yet get the wings I needed for the beret I wanted.

Supposedly it's scripted to force a drop after 8 kills if you don't have it before then (since KILL THOSE MURDERERS DEAD lady wants 8 of them slaughtered) but I'm sure impatient people didn't kill that many since they are actually uncommon in the area you first find them and you may not have talked to the NPC fin awhile to get the mission.

It actually yells 'Getsu Fūma Den'
