Are people really dumb enough to pay for a more expensive and worse version of a game because they prefer a certain console?
I’m obviously talking about PS4 and Xbox One port of Bloodstained if you couldn’t tell.

Basically yes. Don't ask me to explain and don't bother asking them because they'll just become confused and start muttering something akin to "m-muh comfy".
>are people really dumb enough to pay for a more expensive and worse version of a "Castlevania" game.
Fixed.
I bought it on PS4 because I can't run it on my PC.

I dunno...I have the superior PC version.
Now for my question, what's it like being such a faggot that you'd start a bloodstained thread with a picture of the inferior Miriam and not best girl bloodless?

Wew...

So...care to define 'idort' for us?
I'll have to try this. Barring the obligatory progression shards that is.
So when are the additional characters being released?
>Get her shard for the first time
I dunno you don't deal as much damage as the sword one
>Sits on shoulder and points out secrets
YOU'RE HIRED!
I also love the song she sings in the piano room but I wish the other familiars were able to sing or interact somehow to it too or at the very lest have an Easter egg of their own
Or you can get the detective eyes shard and have revealed secrets AND a useful familiar.
The only thing keeping me from buying it on ps4 are the gay backer portraits.
>Refuses to play excellent game
>Because he hates the people whose actions made the excellent game happen
>Purely because he doesn't care for their physical appearance.
Patrician taste
It's immersion breaking.
Her voice is cringe inducingly awful.
I got a platinum trophy for it on ps4. I didn't find any problems with it except for the backer portraits but it wasn't any sort of deal breaker.
The only problem I have with ps4 is sony being spineless faggots and letting disgusting trannies censor anime tiddies. I'm going to move over to a switch and/or pc whenever I can because of it. No more sony consoles for me.
You can't even attack any trash mobs if you did that, right?

I'm at the final boss, no damage on hard and I need to know, does damage before the initial rotation stops even matter? I'm not sure if a phase change can even happen before that, so I'm not sure if I'm wasting MP dpsing all heads at once. Also how much health does he have on hard?

Is it just me or are techniques an absolute pain to pull off while barely doing any more damage than a standard attack?

I bought it for 25 euros. Had 10€ on my card and the game was 5€ off on a sale at Fnac.
It's good to be a good client of this store, you can always use the discount in shit you like.
Bought it for the Xbox One. Try to stop me.

English O.D. and Zangetsu are miles better, Bloodbringer and Dantalion are noticeably better.
Japanese small merchant girl is miles better, Miriam and Carabosse are slightly better, with Miriam being more easygoing.
The rest are a mixed bag
Oh look another thinly veiled console war thread.
I just got the bad ending, have beam and double jump. Any pointers on what/where is my next progresion point? Can't get swim yet (I think) and I dont see any other door i can get now that I couldn't before. The only ones require keys but can't seem to find them. I started on normal because i didn't know the NIGHTMARE thing, do I have to beat it in harder difficulty maybe?
It runs at over 100fps on mid-range hardware from 8 years ago which will be literal junk the moment the new consoles come out.
I’m in the same position right now
>I just got the bad ending
Which one? :^)
>Can't get swim yet (I think)
you need a directional shard that an underwater monster drops to swim

playing on PC with xbox 360 controller, but if I go to take a shit, get food etc., the controller times out, and the game freezes on "please reconnect controller" even if I turn it back on, etc. How fix?

Adjust the timeout
Check steam settings for active controller when it times out (might need big picture for that, not sure)

No details or hints have been given. They didn't even say "soon". Angel mentioned that we only got the Zangetsu trailer for marketing and because it was easy to put together. Like a lot of his trailer is from the base game even. The cutscene and the lines.

How the fuck is a 2d game going to run bad on a console?
Konami never messed up a Japanese release.
because you can buy a cheap or somewhat PC that will run games better than a PS4
logicalincrements.com
laptops have really poor cost/benefit ratio, and you probably need one because of the university, but it's still better to get a PC over a PS4, even if you're really pennypinching you will then save money with cheaper games (even pirating for a while if you really need it), as well as not paying for online
then again, at the point in time we are right now, if you get interested in getting a PC, I'd recommend saving up and buying one after the PS5/Xtwo launch so you can have a PC that will definetly last an entire generation by buying hardware that launched after those consoles are out
It's time to leeeet it goooo~
>he doesn't love her entire body
what a fagola you are
>Back $60 to get a physical version
>The version on the disc is the nearly unplayable 1.01 version
I’m kinda fucking mad, when they stop supporting it that’ll be the inly version anyone can play if they don’t already have it downloaded. Fuck that. This isn’t what I wanted.
Because graphics are the computationally intensive part, and it has 3D graphics.
Is Bloodstained censored at all on the PS4?
Can I get my japanese Silent Hills then?
Sure, on a pachinko machine.
Is this a joke post or are you really this fucking stupid.
Not a joke, pretty sure I’m a stable genius though
>Why does this PHYSICAL VERSION not have all of the later updates and patches on it
I do not believe anyone is this stupid
Wait for a GOTY so you can buy it the second time
This is gonna be fun
What's your proposed solution to this?
Fuck this game. Cant finish it because bitch keeps kicking my ass. Then some fucker said to beat od for standstill and he just kicks my ass.. so now the only thong tp do is either grind xp for 10 hours or stop playing. grindy ass pos game
I don’t want the latest versions you dumbshit I want a FINAL, FUNCTIONAL VERSION that doesn’t have fucking save-ruining bugs, crashes, and graphical glitches out the ass
Finish the game before you print discs
Crazy idea in 2019, I know
Maybe you just are that stupid.
My man this is not a hard game
Went ahead and filled in one for the original request.
nice
I dunno m8, most games are in day 1 of QA when they’re printed on the disc. Sure seems possible to not ship a pile of unfinished dogshit.
Fuck you, I'll enjoy the game however I want.
kek i get it
both dominique and OD can be infinitely stunlocked with bolide blast jump spamming
I keep looking at this poster and thinking she has her arm stretched, showing off her armpit, when it's actually her sword pointing up.
user, I...
Then how to beat penultimate boss cunt that flies around spamming aoe attacks everywhere? Without grinding xp to level or witbout grinding for materials or shards for the one viable build
I bought the NS version, and I think its superior because it the only one that will let me play while taking a shit. Just same as I am posting this reply, oh man the smell is killing me.
You could start by gitting gud
And if that doesn’t work then use Zangetsuto
>witbout grinding for materials or shards for the one viable build
my man there are so many fucking "viable" builds in this game it's not even funny
if you're a shitter and want the easy way out go get the flamethrower or the 8-bit fireball
>you need a specific shard at a specific rank and level
>not grindy
Off yourself
There's a mandatory story weapon that deals extra damage against her, and you can attack the projectiles to destroy them. Invert is also good for when stuff spreads along the ground.
T.lvl 99
If you're garbage at video games and want to cheese a fight with broken strategies then yes you're going to have to grind. God you people are a bunch of fucking idiots.
Most companies manage to ship a functional product before patches, it’s not hard to do
>cheapest options are Vega graphics and the shittiest GPUs imaginable
>$600 and above is when it starts to become "ok"
Compare that to a PS4 and it's obvious which ones poorfags gonna buy.
Every boss, even side bosses are piss easy. End boss is 10000000x more difficult and powerful. This is shit game design.
i don't know where you live, but here the console versions are around $5 cheaper
Yellow sickles are destroyable
Invert and slide under her when she does the double beam spin, or use the shield shard
You shouldn’t need much more than that
I’m in the same boat my laptop is absolute garbage so I got it on ps4.
Not only are you wrong in that opinion but you're wrong on her beind harder.
Hell both zangetsu fights took me a few tries whereas I killed both the final bosses on my first try
you can get a single copy in a few minutes in the worst case, if it didn't already drop when you went through the lab the first time that is
can be upgraded to rank 4 with gunpowder made from materials bought from the shop
you don't need anything else to stunlock and kill them, maybe mana potions if your have that little mana
these posts feel like really really low effort shitposting
Gremory is easy as fuck you dumb goblin
OD and maybe Carpenter are kinda hard but they’re post-game
>i grinded to level 99 and had no problem despite losing against painfully slow boss fights with obvious tells
>Carpenter
>Post-game
He was the hardest of the extra bosses and even then I still beat him pretty much as soon as I found the key+room
Factually untrue. Zangetsu was the first difficulty bump, then Bloodless. Endgame bosses are balanced.
Man you must be really bad at video games if you're having that sort of problem. Maybe try an easier game? Bump down the difficulty?
>I’m a stable genius
Yeah, this kind of stable, though.
Not talking about gremory you fuckin mongoloid
How is the switch version?
You cant change difficulty mid game because the game design is trash
>one viable build
If you find other bosses "piss" easy, but cannot beat Gremory, then I can only assume that you're talking out of your ass.
>Bloodstained
>build
Now maybe I'm just lucky but I broke the ai for carpenter I stood a certain distance from the wall used the thrusting rapier technique and he kept walking into he wall and trying to throw shit at me the hotbox for them didn't start until after where I was standing so I just did that til he died. It's also easy to setup.
>gremory
It's not her you fuckinf idiot
Some people are fine with it, but if you are the type to care about graphics and framerates, then it's not for you.
I bet you didn't even try out half the shards you got.
>imagine being so mad you can no longer type straight
Surely you're not talking about Bael, right?
Because he's even easier.
How did you fight OD if you can only get him on a cleared save file (I.E you already beat nun slut and Bael)?
I dont have to fucking imagine
My sincerest apologies.
If you find other bosses "piss" easy, but cannot beat DOMINIQUE, then I can only assume that you're talking out of your ass.
Who summons bael faggot
Switch port is so bad it goes without saying.
You can do it anytime after so much % of map if you borrow book
Lord help you if you’re talking about Bael
The piss-easy nun that shouldn't even be counted as a boss?
well retard i think he means that for a board meant for gaming, it’s expected you have gaming hardware. go be a fucking normie somewhere else
I could never imagine that I would encounter a person who would find RotN hard. Tell me, what is your daily life like?
>beats Zangetsu but can't beat the nunslut
I am confused
My man I’m not sure Dom actually even hit me outside of the beam attack
Grem is way harder nigga, just jump over her fucking head. She dies to a stiff breeze. Are you not using accelerator? She might actually be able to hit you then, I guess
She spams various moves w no tells. They all do 20% damage. She grabs you and takes off 40% meanwhile with a 90 attack stat you do like 10hp of damage a hit
>piss easy
>accelerator
>accelerate so you cant hit her and do 1 damage...
No
>relpay the game in japanese just to get to her
>expecting a hentai VA level of performance
>a fucking child
I feel scamed
You only have 90 attack?
How?
Nigga get better at videogames
Did you not race gofast man?
you can buy a 750ti which is from like what, 7 years ago? and an i3 from 5 gens ago and it'll run GTAV 1080p at 60 fps on the lowest settings (which still has more stuff on screen and better textures than the console versions of the game, and run at 30 fps even on the PS4)
Are you doing a shardless run on nightmare or what?
How did you even get to her? Did the other bosses glitch somehow?
Are you being retarded on purpose?
Silver knight cries when you find his grave, the rest still can't find anything.
???? Where is this
holy shit
where?
Holy shit. Bloodstained threads are a treasure trove.
Because im not going to grind for craftinf materials or gold like an autist
>treasure trove
That got delayed another few months user. King Knight never ever.
>Literally yells out the names of attacks before she uses them

This is not a hard fucking game dude, there’s something fucking wrong with you
How did you get that far being that helpless? Did you older brother beat all the other bosses for you?
>WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW SHITTY GAME MECHANICS
>WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CAN'T BE LEVEL 15 AT THE END OF TH GAME AND BEAT THE FINAL BOSS WITH EASE

Well. How do you do 200 dmg without grinding for hours? No one here is helpful.
>These are the kind of shitters that infest Yea Forums
I suppose it's better than /pol/shit technically but god that's hilarious.
I will not give you a honest answer because I don't believe shitters like you exist. Post stats screen and map.
Best sword in game, zangetsuto does 90. Simple as.
It's called upgrading shards and keeping up to date with equipment and food.
So you mean grinding
I can't stop using Oracle Blade like a scrub.
Please someone help me, it's like a drug addiction.
If you want to skip the BS in this thread, here's the actual differences between ports
youtu.be
>Act hostile towards everyone in the first post
>Acts why people react to him
In any case, there are a lot of shards that can help like Welcome Company or teps oceus. You can also binge on healing items and whale on her
You’ve been given several strats
>doing the equivalent of not skipping every encounter in a JRPG is grinding
Keep being salty
>Katana Expertise
>Optimizer
>Literally any food item or equipment that boosts Strength
Zangetsuto only does 100% crit against Grem
zangetsuto is neither best in the game nor a sword
>binge on healing items
Max great potions you can have is 5 and they only recover like 5% of your hp
Everyone here is either playing on easy or grinded to lvl 99
Why does everyone think i am talking about grem? She was piss easy and defeated on first try
I think he means playing normally and then using drops you got by playing normally to make/upgrade/prepare whatever they're good for.

Ah ok, so you have never made a recipe and are shitting the thread for attention. You don't even deserve a (You)

Do you have some kind of bizarre neurological disorder?
I'm using the upgraded wind blade thingy. That along with optimizer, accelerator and standstill is just fucking crazy.
How do I get those anime skills the Doppelgänger uses?
I have the trophy for eating enough unique meals tho
user, are you fucking okay?
>Silver knight cries when you find his grave
Post proofs. Where?
>and they only recover like 5% of your hp
Not only this is false, it just outs you has a faggot who needs great potions every 10 seconds since you can't dodge for shit.
Bloodstained is fucking easy and playing the game without any grind is more than enough to plow through it.
On the context of the game, it's not.
You can't use sword expertise to buff katana damage.
If someone is good at basketball does that mean they are also good at bowling?
So Angel confirmed that a ton of Bloodstained merch is coming. Will we get a Miriam figure? a Nendo? Tshirts? Cushioned mosuepad?
but you don't have the trophy for not being a complaining shitter
lmao gottem
We're talking about the game, not the one your mom made you for finishing the veggies.
>he doesn't know that swords and katanas are separate categories in RotN

How
OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH
I do, but it's still a fucking sword autismo
aaayyyyy
EEEEEEEEEEEEE
Because grem doesnt jump around and spam attacks,aoe spells and other horse shit nonstop
Does blood absorbed carry over into NG+? I know it's really easy to get but I wanted it to pop during the bloodless fight and I forgot to get it the first time

oh god make it stop.
Holy shit destroyed
How dare you call this grindy POS grindy user!!!!
It keep the count but takes away the ability until you beat her again
Nobody except you in this thread says "POS", shitter. What year have you been born in?
What's your luck build? I've got like 135 or something.
Also do the "dead person" quests first the reward is something with 6 luck and makes shards drop more
Yea I know, my intention is to get the trophy after beating her again in NG+.
>Retard-kun got blown the fuck out so now he needs to latch onto posts talking about 100%ing the game
you need more luck
also, is it work trying to rank up Pickpocket?
Grem spams way more shit
Nigga just move around and punish her
There are so many option available to you that will rip her ass to shreds. Try poisoning her, taking potshots with Tis Rosaïn etc. Use accelerator.
Dom is straight up in the easier half of bosses in the game, down there with Craftwork and reflection-guy.
>makes shards drop more
I thought I saw somebody test it and find out that it''s glitched and makes the shards actually drop less.
How it works seems like it'd make it hard to notice any increase.
I maxed it but it's probably not worth it, just save it for the very very end after you have perfect farming gear to get it if you want.
>What year have you been born in?
Fuck off, ESL
>I thought I saw somebody test it and find out that it''s glitched and makes the shards actually drop less.
Well you can take it as anecdotal evidence (as I've certainly had weirder streaks of luck) but it seemed to make them drop slightly more.
At least on piss4
>What's your luck build? I've got like 135 or something.
i'd need to check - is there any recommended gear for improving luck?
I'm mostly just aiming for completing the quests and getting the Rhava Velar.
Stop giving that dumb nigger attention. He has proved himself to stop taking any advice and is only here to complain for the sake of it.
Any help? ;~;
Why isn't Bloodless on Boss Rush?
Jesus, dude. How does it feel to be in an Alzheimer risk group because your brain has so little plasticity from only knowing one language? Is this also why you're bad at videogames?
I don't remember offhand but aren't the "anime skills" just some of the fairly normal shards you get?
Is OD in it? Maybe it's just story bosses.
Full burst Of course you GAMERGATE Nazi once is shit game design for the bullshit hypocrisy around here FUCK DOMINIQUE
Presumably he means just not using shards, but yes, I suppose you could do a full pacifist run.
Nice assumption fag..
Inputs with katana? Read bookshelves, but you can just do them if you have the right katana and know the input.
Katana ones I remember are >> attack, qcf attack, vv attack
Valkyrie dress and headpiece improve luck immensely. You can get the dress in twin tower and the headpiece in the den of behemoths
Half the bosses aren't in boss rush. I thought they'll release an update for it further down the line
I'm talking about all the shit that Miriam does with the katanas.
Do I need to master the techniques?
Gottim hard
Because the advice is basically "grind for hours to do this one specific thing" shit game design
Has anyone even been as far as decided what want to do look more like?
Yes they are all techniques and the one that looks like cross slash does the most damage especially with shadows on for multihits
Summerfags leave
If you're using the upgraded wind blade, then no, because that weapon is doesn't have any unique skills to enter. If you have that weapon then you should be fine for everything
You need to master them to do them all on the same weapon, you can just do them all individually right off the bat if you have the right weapons
I bought it from GOG at $17 , took me 11 hours, Hollow Knight was better
Kid Gebel and Miriam game when?
>Platformer
>Need to escape from pesky Alfred who grounded you
>Alfred hid all your stuffed animals
>IGA and his boys reminded me I like video games.
This is an accurate statement. Bloodstained is the first game in years that after beating it, I actually played New Game+.
The game requires no grinding I 100% the game in 9 hours of game time it's really not that hard either. Seriously no grinding required made the strongest rapier and whip before even getting to the final boss.
>Ask for advice (lit. cry and scream like a big fat baby)
>Get advice
>NO I DON’T WANNA DO ANY OF THAT
Okay then, git gud I guess, we all did it fine because we’re not shitters.
>11 hours
did you skip half the content or something, speedrunner?
It should be noted that I’ve (you)'d every single person who’s disagreed with me here, as far as I know. That said. In 7th grade, I took an SAT test without preparing for it at all, it was spur-of-the-moment, I knew about it about an hour ahead of time and didn’t do any research or anything. I scored higher on it than the average person using it to apply for college in my area. An IQ test has shown me to be in the 99.9th percentile for IQ. This is the highest result the test I was given reaches anything further and they’d consider it to be within the margin of error for that test.
My mother’s boyfriend of 8 years is an aerospace engineer who graduated Virginia Tech. At the age of 15, I understand physics better than him, and I owe very little of it to him, as he would rarely give me a decent explanation of anything, just tell me that my ideas were wrong and become aggravated with me for not quite understanding thermodynamics. He’s not particularly successful as an engineer, but I’ve met lots of other engineers who aren’t as good as me at physics, so I’m guessing that’s not just a result of him being bad at it.
I’m also pretty good at engineering. I have independently thought of basically every branch of philosophy I’ve come across. Every question of existentialism which I’ve seen discussed in websites, the thoughts haven’t been new to me. Philosophy has pretty much gotten trivial for me; I’ve considered taking a philosophy course just to see how easy it is. I’m a good enough writer that I’m writing a book and so far everybody who’s read any of it has said it was really good and plausible to expect to have published.
And that’s not just, like, me and family members, that counts strangers on the Internet. I’ve heard zero negative appraisal of it so far; people have critiqued it, but not insulted it. I don’t know if that will suffice as evidence that I’m intelligent but that's all I got.
This would be a very cute game.
>wasting hours of your life grinding
>not a shitter
Where's the sword, tho?
>Implying

Of I remember right, you have to dimension warp through the floor in the tower right before the boss room
92% map explored, did some grinding to get some armors, max some shards
Twin dragons
>Hollow Knight was better
Somehow I doubt you're a fan of either game. Or else you wouldn't trying so hard to push this supposed fanbase rivalry of yours.
they are both game of the same genre , they are able to be compared
I don't get this rivalry. They're both good games and both scratch a different itch.
How do I play this unoptimized game on my laptop? It's not even a low-end laptop, but with all settings on low it's still a slideshow.
same genre
They’re extremely dissimilar
Why? Alucard and Solid Snake, duh.
it's just shitposters trying to start a fanbase war, even if the games are not similar.
Like a troll trying to do a KH vs DMC fanbase war, which blew up in his face.
Go into the secret waterway, deep down, deep in my ass
They are but they aren't exactly the same. It's different. Hollow Knight doesn't remind me of Castlevania.
Nope, they're too different.
Is OP this retarded or he's intentionally forgetting the fact that a lot of people only have one console and no PC for whatever reason?
Not everybody wants to have multiple consoles and/or a gaming PC.
Jesus holy fuck, Americans are so stupid
>a lot of people only have one console and no PC
Gamer girl bath water
the way you progress in the game is the same for both of them , exploration and finding new abilities ir order to advance in previously impassable places
because this two are similar you can compare level structure, pacing, ambience
the differences of the games lie on their fighting mechanics
Finally beat the game. Loved it, I never knew how much I wanted Aria of Sorrow with a bigger budget.
Actually spent a long time grinding to fill my RPG OCD to max out shit. You can become so fucking powerful it's disgusting. I had to use a sword to make the final boss and secret boss last longer because you can just put on the infinite ammo hat and blast everyone with diamond bullets to kill anything in seconds.
a lot of people, or a lot of people on Yea Forums?
nice reddit spacing
gg mate
try without any grind, you will have your shit pushed in
I'd put shards/abilities/items/drops/crafting first and combat second. Also atmosphere, artstyle, game flow, etc etc
>and no PC for whatever reason?
Then how the fuck are you posting on Yea Forums?
>hurr durr straigh up with the "hollow knight was better"
>fanboy on first comment
you niggas just HAVE to bring the comparison every fucking time eh?
Bloodstained is better. HK is just a metroid-vania style dark souls to artificial hyper difficulty
I started a clean nightmare run. It's ball-kicking hard but satisfying as fuck. Highly recommended.
HK was genuinely better
No he wont. The game is easy as shit and falls apart no matter what you do.
absolutely, one is free to enjoy both! its lunacy
but those fuckers just come in every single Bloodstained thread and start shitting on the game without any fucking argument whatsoever
This is a clear salty behavior, since the new fad is Bloodstained with its 96% positive, and they are just mad snowflakes who wanted to be under the spotlight for ever
I really need an artorias edit of this with Dominique
Nightmare was pretty fucking hard up to Zangetsu, but I was going for no-damage boss kills. Yesterday I hit a wall at Bloodless, but she doesn't seem as hard as Zangetsu was, just gotta try some more.
oh pardon me sir, with that amazing argument i'm so owned
jolly good sir!
>3 difficulties
i don't understand why you keep bitching
the tools are there. Maybe you are lazy as fuck to use them, but that is not how the game problem
Please use your brain next time you click the Post button. Also, I never said I was in that situation
> also, I'm on my phone, bitch
Not him, but I'm pretty mad hard isn't readily available at the start. If I knew the trick, I'd start my first playthrough on hard.
>phoneposters in charge of not being retarded
see, that is a good criticism, and i agree
but i don't see much of a problem to do a replay in harder diffiiculties since many games are like this, you have to finish to get a new mode.
And you get more accostumed with the story and characters
...
You can compare them, but that is not the same as continuously making tons of threads and posts in threads pitting the games against one another. While placing one on a pedestal and lambasting the other.
One case is just people comparing games and discussing them, while this is some fag with a shitposting agenda.
That said, Hollow Knight is a genuine Metroid-like. It has like no mechanical Castlevania elements to it. It's pure Metroid and no Castlevania.
Meanwhile Bloodstained is a pure and genuine Metroidvania.
They're both great games and I love both. And with Bloodstained already out, Silksong remains by most anticipated game going forward. But they are different.
Regardless. I doubt the shitter that keeps pinning the games against one another is a fan of either. Probably just a trolling falseflagger with an addiction to shitposting.

Fucking hell! Turn back time! Fuck.
It's funny because I got my hopes up. Silly me.
anyone else feel the bosses, especially the ones that were in CotM, were a bit lacking?
> gameplay-wise they felt too floaty and imprecise
> aesthetics and story-wise they had little impact or presence
they felt more like bumps in the road than these fearsome entities. in CotM, the bosses were far more spectacular and were helped by the stage format building up towards them. i feel like a lot of the blandness comes from the less striking visual style but there could still be better build-up towards the bosses. theres no atmosphere or storytelling anywhere near the bosses. they're just in a room thats randomly slightly different. like Bloodless could have had a room or two of corpses getting drained out for blood or even just had the floors covered in blood before her room. instead, we just run into a random room that apparently has a bathtub in it.
still had a lot of fun with the game, but some of it could definitely be executed better
> thinking Yea Forums really cares about anything that happens outside of it
> being this naive
gtfo
While it might not mean much, the way you saw Vepar a couple of times before the boss battle itself, probably does add a lot in the end. None of the other bosses barring Zangetsu, and Alfred etc, had that. Which is a shame.
I honestly don't get people that browse Yea Forums on a PC. Dude, just browse while you're waiting for something. I use it to take a break from the desktop. I'm normally walking/standing while browsing
Is this the thread where I can redeem my "destroy a tard" voucher?
>missing the point so hard
Why do you regularly post that image with that filename and ask that question when it's clearly Nathan and Hugh in the picture?
That sounds like it's defaulting to your integrated card instead of the dedicated one.
There are so many exploitable weapons and shards that you would need to be comatose to honestly struggle by the time you can fight OD.
>start NG+
>sneeze at Velar
>medal won
I should've skipped the hard difficult for this.
if you start NG+ at Nightmare, do you get deleveled back to 1?
I'm not shitposting the threads or anything but I genuinely think Hollow Knight is a shit game. It's hands down the worst Metroidvania I've ever played and the pacing was so bad that the only game I can compare it to in terms of how absurdly long it takes for the game to stop being boring relative to its total runtime is DQ7.
Yep.
The non-human bosses were definitely lacking in presence and relevance, but I it's unfair to compare them to the ones a linear game where they are guaranteed to be the climax of their respective stage. Though the criticism regarding the surrounding areas being mostly unrelated in tone and atmosphere to the bosses is valid. The only 3 bosses in the game that had a proper thematic build up are Vepar, Zangetsu 2, Glutton Train and maybe Gebel and Valac.
Gameplay-wise they were all fine. Their moveset doesn't shine until you fight them in nightmare mode and only if you aren't grinding for shards . I think it's mostly a game balance issue and not necessarily a flaw in the design of the bosses. Though Alfred was definitely a terrible fight full of jank hitboxes.
yes and so do your summons
oh dang.
What if I switch to non-nightmare on the next NG+?
The twin dragons had some wacky hitboxes, other than that, no problems.
I remember seeing that picture tagged on twitter with #Bloodstained or something. That's probably what confused that user.
>470117762
Arise, my bait and my shitpost
The Valkyrie Sword can actually break the game. You can use it in NG+ to get to the water area immediately.
My only complaint was that the dificulty was all over the place. Zangetsu floored me multiple times, then Craftwork was a total pushover, touble jump demon, dragons and the reflector guy were varying degrees of easy, and then I died quite a lot of times to Bloodless. And after that, got every boss on the first attempt.
Oh shit that's right, the plunging attack. How hard can you sequence break with it?
test
Frustratingly good art with the foot fetishisizing (no shame, just not my thing.)
Also, she's constantly losing blood from the bleeding wound in her throat. She controls blood and bathes in it constantly but it's to replenish what she's losing all the time.
From what I heard this is how it works

>Money is Power has an actual texture on it that isn't just gold
Huh. Considering most people will never see it that close, that's surprising to me. I really wish they added a photo mode to the game so we could see more stuff. Even if we could peek behind the curtain at some points in terms of the 2.5D presentation.
It runs like ass on my laptop. Miriam’s voice is always crackling as a result because the frame rate is usually 54-60

i dont get why they couldnt copy some of the mechanics from CotM to the same bosses, especially shit like the Desperation Attack.

it just sucks that things had so much impact in the smaller game, but the bigger one with more resources was just kinda... there.
The moment I heard the English VA attempt to sing, I stood my ass up outta that fucking chair.
Some PCs aren't built for playing games, user. Just FYI.
you can use the kung-fu shoes to get the aegis armour and go to the oriental at the beginning of the game.
This is starting to get DoS tiers of broken.
no, NG+ you keep all your shit (except key stuff)
a NEW SAVE will start lvl 1 on the higher difficulty
Nah, the joycons are shit. I hate the buttons on those things.
Is beating hard mode how you unlock nightmare mode, without using the NIGHTMARE cheat?
Or is the NIGHTMARE cheat the only way to unlock nightmare mode?
Trying this.
Will report back.
i absolutelly love those game breaking shit
You can unlock it just by finishing the hard mode.
How the fuck do you extract game assets? I want to learn how to do that shit so I can put Miriam in the Sims 4 and turn her into a slut.
how much stuff carries over into NG+?
Everything that isn't key for progressing.
>that entire second video
What the FUCK?
Probably a long way off. We don’t even have king knight in shovel knight yet for godsake
Join the Bloodstained mods discord. They have modding tools that can extract the assets.
At least they didn't get it on Switch
Do they have an Aradia mod yet?
as someone who only owns a switch i know you are full of shit
Nobody is working on one as far as I know. Only major ones so far are
>Samus
>Harley Quinn
>Lolita Hair
I think someone said they are doing Shanoa though.
I got it in PS4 because of the physical disc, I'd much rather play it on PC but fuck digital only
Which one of you fags reposted this on the Discord?
You lose:
>Progression Shards
>Aegis Armor
>OD Books
>Bovine Plume
I assume acquired Ranks for shards are retained.
Actually, question, for High Jump, since you lose the shard on a new playthrough, will Grade be reset when you obtain it again or will it retain its Grade when it's reacquired?
Can't think of how they'd do Shanoa correctly since she wears a dress which should clearly have physics.
Stupid question but how do you make requests there? I went to the mod requests forum but can't post and it looks like only a bot posts there.
I want to ask someone to make a retexture of Miriam that makes her shards look shiny.
Glad im not the only one doing this. Did you rig them too?
Do you actually have a source for that, cause thats never mentioned ingame, or alluded to
Only the fact that her throat is cut and bleeding, she bathes in blood constantly, that her Shard causes you to absorb blood rather than drinking it and her name is Bloodless.
Not sure what more you need.
most people are not braindead weeaboos who play in languages they can't even read or speak
The game is set in fucking England, it's the canon language
This has been my issue. I keep trying the Japanese option but it feels really off with this setting and these characters. Obviously there are specific situations where the Japanese VO has an advantage but overall, English just suits the game better.
Plus, it makes IGA adorable to fight.
The wound is part of her dress, smartypants, look at the model. Theres no blood on it. Not sure what more you need.
What? Why would a blood texture be in the model? I don't understand what you're trying to say with that.
Believe what you want, that's my headcanon and it lines up with all of the information we're given in the game.
Also, that user was asking why she was called Bloodless. I was just giving a possible reason.
>PC fags trying to defend their physicalless DRM version
>you can use reflector ray to reach areas without needing mirrors
Took way too long to figure that jesus christ
Also, her dress is made of blood. That's the whole point.
and when you hit her she loses her dress
then she recover it when suck your blood
Then quit with the reddit spacing and declaring your headcanon as factual, possible, but not factual. What I am talking about is the blood clothes and effects on the model itself, is separate from the clothesless model, in this case, the wound losing blood.
oishiiiii~
Dude I got my PS4 for 200 dollars. When I got home I popped it right out of the box and was playing videogames an hour later, the only setup needed was plugging two wires in. No fucking with settings, no building a machine, no buying an ethernet cable and running it all over my house so it could get to my setup.
Learn what Reddit spacing is and how to actually recognize it.
And again, the clothes are formed from her blood when the fight starts as well as the blood in the tub. The cut is part of her base neck texture. She forms the upper part of the dress from the cut in her neck and the lower part from the blood in the tub. As you fight her, she replenishes the lost parts of her dress with blood from the stage.
There's literally nothing about this that's incorrect. I'm acknowledging it's headcanon in that it's not explicitly stated in text but contextually all of the information is there.
Wow. Wow. Hard mode is actually a lot harder!
Yeah, I kinda get why they included mirrors but I wish they hadn't. They're really only to give an indication of where the Ray needs to be used but they also stop doing it later in the castle so it's basically just training wheels that leave a permanent mark on the terrain for no real reason.
Starts a bit tough, but by Zangetsu 1, it becomes way easier
Consensus seems to be that the difficulty of Hard mode peters out about halfway through.
I can't say for sure cause I'm saving that playthrough for whenever the Switch version gets fixed, using the unpatched PC version for my 100% playthrough.
Alright just finished installing this game because I'm a sucker for metroidvania games (Had like 500+ hours in Castlevania:SotN), what do I expect?
Because fuck digital only.
Bumping this question because as a PS4 player, I am curious. Going from Bloodless's intro alone, it doesn't seem like anything got cut.
It's the same
How do you put 500+ in SOTN?
I have it for PC, Xbox One, and Switch.
Guess which ones I paid for.
bone
Level design similar to SOTN but gameplay more like A/DoS.
Not that user but I've been playing SotN off and on for 22 years. It's not that hard, really. I have a single file I've been maintaining all that time and a new one I've started to try and make a "perfect" Alucard (all stats 99, maxed Muramasa, etc.) I'll just play it when relaxing or talking on the phone or something. It's become so constant it's like a pleasant white noise for me now.
Remember the duplicator item? Muramasa blood sword maxed? Familiars? Yeah I want everything maxed and shit. Lots of grinds to get those maxed if I remember correctly
Comfy.
Is it true that the game keeps track of your game overs?
I haven't seen it anywhere so if so it's not visible.
Some anons claimed that Rul'sha was passive if you had enough game overs but she's passive regardless.
Bloodless does the blood rain im phase 2 in RotN
How do you avoid Vepar's waterspray attack when she stands on the right side of the screen and then blasts the entire stage with water?
The one where she stands in the background and sprays water is easy to avoid since it just covers half the stage. But when she is on the right side? There is no cover. You can't destroy the water with your sword. The backdash has no iframes. I am at a complete loss.
How do I do this fight without being hit?
user...
That feeling when no giant axe to charge up and absolutely obliterate foes with.
Oh just found out this game has cheats as well in literally beginning of the game. In what circumstances you want to cheat in this game?
That user’s theory was exactly what I assumed and seems obvious from the info we’re given
Also
Are
You
Triggered
Yet?
Unlock all difficulty modes from the start
Big Head mode
or unlock a number of stupid e-celeb weapons/helmets
I wish there was more.
The intended way, since it's designed for NG+, is to use a defensive shard to block the attack.
The game also spawns to Seama right before the attack that you can hide behind to block it by hitting them to stun them.
Jump over it
The squids get stunned when you hit them. Use that to shield behind them. Notice she always pop ups squids before spraying
I am genuinely upset that this wasn’t in Ritual
The squids stops the spray of water? It doesn't just go right through them?
Guess I should have noticed that.
Steam great sword is a close second
Ilike the idea, and the backer one that charges up is more viable but same idea, but the charge sucks. I swear I have higher DPS spamming, they shouldhave made it hit harder
this, it made the middle part of my playthrough super fun
Yeah, but dps efficiency is completely shattered by shards. After 5 100% clears, I'm no longer prioritizing DPS, I'm making builds that are fun to try against bosses
I always forget poorfags are poorfags not only because they don't have any money but also they're really bad at decision making and spend their money poorly even when they have it. PC has a high upfront cost but it's cheaper in the long run because the games are cheaper there is no extra charge to play online, if you want to upgrade you only have to swap out a part or two rather than buying a whole new "Pro" console. Basically poorfags are a self fulfilling prophecy.
I just want a reward for charging, user. I want the thing to take all day to swing but it needs to shatter the earth when it connects
>Owns one platform
>Claims not to be a poorfag
[Ojou-sama laugh]
>not playing it on PC with the gamepad of your choice...
Fucking plebs
This. My preference honestly would be to make it a Technique and/or to improve the existing QCB>F technique to be a hell of a lot stronger when fully charged.
Because this game can run in a toaster?
When you constantly got cash to burn it don't take much.
Miriam looks like shit there
You'd think people that come on Yea Forums also know a lot about video games, that is not the case, pretty much the opposite you see a lot of dumb shit being posted here
Here take this
Yeah, I hear you. For the amount of weapons there is, there's more bias towards speed and weak than strong and slow.
I have a lot of fun charging forward with spears, ngl.
Thanks m8
Shit taste
I hope the sequel has shoes with fist techniques.
Pray tell where you got that picture of Dominique.
Even the "Modest" tier will run games better than a PS4 Pro.
>wants dommy milkies

My wife said I’m not allowed to play this game because she said the main character was too attractive
Faggot
Okay but hear me out:
Blondes.
>shoes with fist techniques
Equip the Shovel Knight armour and keep it on for the rest of the game.
Valdis Story is better than Bloodstained
My 12" penis is better than both, play with it instead.
No she didn’t
Guys I can't concentrate on the game because I have this overwhelming need to have sex with Miriam
What do I do?
fap
then play
Has the Switch version been fixed with patches? I want to play this on my bed.
Mad about blondes.
Shallow Knight was babies first metriodvania, Bloodstained is Iga taking his series back from a company that won't continue it, Hollow Knight is a indie team stealing the entirety of its content from other games its played, Including a large some of flash games, to make an experience thats utter trash if you've explored the gaming world before hand.
oh, and of course theres way more fucking depth in this game.

BS is NOTHING like SOTN and GBA/DSvanias. it is simplified, streamlined and janky,
> Hollow Knight is a indie team stealing the entirety of its content from other games its played
Imagine projecting this much
Anyone playing Eagle Island? Seems like a fun roguelike metroidvania
Time will tell bitch
>Owns one platform
Where are you extrapolating that from, oh right, nowhere. Man poorfags have poor cognitive functions too.
Dominique's gonna have blood red hair next game and you're gonna like it.
I am weirdly infatuated with Valdis Story even though it's one of the cringiest games I have ever played. But I can still respect it for staying true to itself in spite of that and playing itself straight. And its combat, while flawed, is elaborate and great fun while continuing to change and add to itself throughout just about the full game. It's really rough around the edges though, in spite of having a really solid core.
The Mega Man Zero boss battles and ranks are all superb too.
It really does feel a lot more like Mega Man Zero than either Metroid or Castlevania though. That's not a bad thing as far as I am concerned though. Score and rank fagging this game is great fun and I kind of love it for it.
I am kind of more excited for Fae Tactics though to be honest. Maybe I am just naïve, but I imagine it to have less jank than Valdis Story.
I'd buy Valdis Story and replay it in a heartbeat if it was ported to the Switch though.
>BS is NOTHING like SOTN and GBA/DSvanias
Now I know you're trolling. To say it's not 100% the same is one thing but to say it's not even similar? Fuck off.

Nice argument
>To say it's not 100% the same is one thing but to say it's not even similar?
It tries hard to be SoTN but fails. Imagine you have two books, one is successful and very popular and another is in writing. Author tries to make a clone of the first, but the best he was capable of capturing is the cover. That's Bloodstained in comparison to SoTN.
>BS is NOTHING like SOTN and GBA/DSvanias
Oh come on user. You have to be a blind idiot to not see the similarities. IGA intentionally made shit similar. Look I get it. You love Hollow Knight and are afraid Bloodstained will steal it's thunder. Stop that. Hollow Knight is a great game and when Silksong is out Yea Forums will probably have daily threads on it too. There's room for more than one Metroidvania. Calm the fuck down.
>Oh thats right. Your kind hasn't invented video games yet.
It would be great if you fags didnt respond to super obvious bait. How have you not caught on yet?
I do see similarities but they are all in surface. I will re-quote the allegory I drew:
> Imagine you have two books, one is successful and very popular and another is in writing. Author tries to make a clone of the first, but the best he was capable of capturing is the cover. That's Bloodstained in comparison to SoTN.
IGA tooks what was on th surface SoTN had to offer and just pout in in Bloodstained, but the gameplay and inner intricacies are all missed. BS is shallow and streamlined in comparison to SoTN.
"Do you have Battletoads?"
You're saying it's not as good at SOTN which is a valid argument. But saying it's NOTHING like SOTN or the GBA games Aria and Dawn is just stupid and you know it.
Bloodstained takes a big fat shit on HoD at MINIMUM
Even if she does, that won't erase all the wonderful blonde art that currently exists and that will be created between now and the sequel. I will stand unwavering.
DS or GBA games are "not as good as SoTN".
To me, Bloodstained does not even reach the level of DS games. So no, it is nothing like SoTN. It is some generalized IGAvania or attempt at it.
If I post the full, you're just gonna ask for the full.
> HoD
Ok, fair enough.
wat
isnt that what I'm asking for?
That's two different things user. Being similar and being as good are not the same. You're right. SOTN is better in many ways. Hell Aria and Dawn are better too. But Bloodstained absolutely reminds me of those games.
Anyway I think that they'll do a much better job in the sequel. Apparently the game sold really really well and they're already planning on it. With the base engine setup along with graphics, lore, etc...they'll be able to do a lot of refining.
Go on. Ask for the full.
Not him but you high, SotN is on the bottom half of the Metroidvanias, easy. It’s a good fame but everything following just did the formula better. Don’t understand the worship other than it coming first and being good.
I ALREADY DID
Not one of IGA's games had combat that was remotely as complex or satisfying as Bloodstained.
They took the best parts of PoR and OoE, blended them together and heavily refined the secret attacks from PoR/SOTN to be the best they'd ever been.
The level design is also 1:1 the same as SOTN's design philosophy, for better and worse.
THAT IS THE FULL!
Reminds me of that “”””cropped”””” Palutena gif
>SotN is on the bottom half of the Metroidvanias, easy.
Itll be down to under $20 in a couple months like any kickstarted game.
It is ez pz to make mod like that
