Has anyone played it? Is it trash as the graphics suggest or are you having fun? They definitely should have gone with 2D graphics, fuck this 3D world we live in.

I played the tutorial ship and I'm starting the game proper.
I still don't like the graphics, if they were going 3D for cost saving they should have used the Magicka trick to make it look 2D, it's especially jarring when jumping through platforms because you can clearly see Miriam phasing through the floor in 3D. Also for some retarded reason they do full 3D cutscenes with camera closeups and the models just don't hold up when viewed up close, they should have kept the fixed faraway camera for cutscenes.
The gameplay itself shows a lot of promise but I've barely started playing it so it's hard to tell at this point.
I noticed that sliding is faster than running so all speedruns are guaranteed to look retarded now.
The first boss looked like literal puke and had some tentacle attacks with confusing hitboxes, at least it wasn't a cakewalk and took me a couple of tries.
Overall, shit graphics, decent gameplay that shows promise.

Just try, before my 970 blew up I could run things on ultra with 60+ frames regardless of recommended specs.
Gpu's really haven't progressed much since 2013 as silicon isn't able to handle the heat that further processing requires.
Video Cards for the last 5+ years has been focusing on power efficiency which does help performance but not significantly.
This is also true with CPU where companies have been purposely gimping themselves so their older products don't run better then their future ones, so that they don't out compete themselves.
For example my i7 I got in 2011-2012 performs better then the modern i7.
I built a computer to work as a server for my company and found the i5 outperformed an i7 which was $100 more then the i5.

It's fucking great, been waiting for this game for years and it didn't disappoint. I hoped it would be more of the same like aos or sotn, and not only is it that, but they added multiple layers of complexity and new gameplay mechanics on top of that. Some quality of life enhancements too, like quick loadout swapping ooe-style, but actually comfortable now. The AI is way smarter than in previous castlevania games too. I was legit stunned when the enemies prefired me or blocked my drops from platforms by trying to catch me from underneath.
I'm about 5 hours taking it slow, somewhere around 25% of the map done, my only complaint so far is that the soundtrack doesn't really hit as hard as those of the previous games, probably due to the main instrument in most of the songs being the violin. Oh yeah, and the backer portraits get kinda jarring once you see the 50th fucking picture on the wall, but whatever, it's not that bad.

Yeah they're spread around filling corridors, but not only that, some of them start flying like in SOTN and you have to kill them.
Also, when I saw the huge ass cat stuck in the hallway I stopped in my tracks and had to do a double take for a second, but then remembered about that backer reward. They give you a cool spell and drop cat ears, though.
The shovel knight enemy looks kinda stupid to me too, but he acts as one of the armors from the previous games, so works fine from a gameplay point.

The gimmick of both games is that they are supposedly spiritual successors of old good games actual ones, not like MN9 or YL. They go after the Castlevania in both it's forms.

Copy-paste:
In addition to the sprawling single-player story experience with alternate endings, more than a dozen DLCs will be released post-launch as free updates, including Online and Local Co-op and VS. mode, Roguelike mode, Boss Rush, Chaos mode, and Nightmare Difficulty. Secret playable characters are also awaiting discovery, increasing the replay value even further.
The Speed Demon Update, which adds optimized graphics, visuals and balance, in addition to Speed Run Mode, Boss Rush Mode, and the Pure Miriam Outfit, will be available at launch for PC and is expected later next week for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch.
Also available today for PC is the “Iga’s Back Pack” DLC, priced at $9.99. Players who opt in will be able to fight Koji Igarashi himself as a boss in-game and once defeated, earn the powerful Swordwhip weapon. The “Iga’s Back Pack” DLC will be available for Switch on Friday, June 28. PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players will be able to purchase the “Iga’s Back Pack” DLC beginning Tuesday, July 2.
Seems Shovel Knight, indie whore extraordinaire, will be a playable character.
All the positive feedback is making me tempted to give the game a whirl but my autism is still flared up over the backer portraits, still kinda fanny flim-flammed it's not 2D and there's things about the aesthetics that rub the wrong way, mostly how every other model is noticeably worse than Miriam's and a lot of the enemy designs - they're either bland and generic or aimlessly overdesigned. Nitpicks, I know.

invidio.us pulls the video directly from googlevideo.com without accessing Youtube's servers.
The question is whether the request to googlevideo.com is enough to generate video views for the jewtube algorithm or if that algorithm only works when making requests to servers under Youtube's domains (obviously Google knows you watched the video. That doesn't mean it is accounted for Youtube's algorithm).
I've seen claims that it is pointless but they were never backed up with substance. As far as I've seen, it was inconclusive.

The size was reduced in that monster but no other character had breasts reduced, including the nun and Miriam. So why was that monster breasts reduced?

GOG updates suck, assuming you can get them at all because GOG gets updates later and sometimes never. If you are going to be pirating the game anyway, the Steam version is the preferred version to pirate, it usually will get better support and be easier to deal with.
On the topic, I've only played it a little. The combat seems stiff and the special moves (eg quarter circle forward + X for the boots) seem really finicky and hard to pull off. Yes, a combo as simple as QCF is hard to pull off in this game, especially when you are expected to do it three times in quick succession at a specific height in midair. However, the game does make for some good Japanese practice. It's got fully voiced dialog with manual text advancement and the vocabulary and grammar isn't all that difficult after the introduction (which is automatic-advance, but freezes while you alt-tab in boarderless mode so you can pause it whenever you like)

Not all Metroidvanias are the same. That's why the term is pretty despised.
Hollow Knight is more comparable to Metroid, with a single main weapon and few other options, and an atmosphere that's more monotone and simpler than the variety found in Castlevania castle. SotN and other IGAvanias (this one as well apparently) give you a whole bunch of options in terms of attacking.

Yeah plus the fact that the armor actually shows on your character makes this far better than any other castlevania game in terms of aesthetics.
The game is a 10/10 so far. A dream come true. I hope most people don't crack it though because otherwise IGA isn't going to make another one, considering his situation. And it's very addictive. I'm literally itching to play more

IGA had limited resources. He could have focused on the gameplay or the graphics. Why do you feel the need to bitch so much when you've paid him less than a 1000 bucks? Do you think money grows on trees?

It looks like an indie Unity game. Textures aren't so highres, polycount isn't that high (and it shows; depending on what the artstyle is like, this wouldn't have been a problem) and the overall art direction feels like it demands higher technical capabilities on the engine. This is compounded with the fact that the preview art was 2D and looked much better than the finished product. It isn't bad like MN9, it's just a tad disappointing.

The shader in this game is hot garbage. I honestly think if they changed it nobody would be complaining.
But enough about the graphics. I'm two hours in and the gameplay is pretty good. I like the different weapon types acting slightly different so you have to decide between fast and weak or slow and strong.
And equipment changing (some) of your appearance. That's a nice touch.
Also being able to change your appearance.
I think SOTN is still the pinnacle of Castlevania but I'll have to play through it and see. This game is definitely worth a pirate though if you're not sure whether it's worth your time or not.

Yes, except for the shit with that canon sub weapon that hurts if you're too close to the blast that they then make you use in cramped areas. And the annoying as fuck bullet sponge mutants in the later overhead dungeons that force you to stealth around them if you don't have your gun powered up to any of the higher grade wall piecing bullet types. But that was more tedious then difficult. Also having wildly different gun effects but also keeping the 'damage depowers your gun' mechanic was questionable design. Particularly when you hit that point where you're in a fight, you take damage and your gun suddenly starts making a useless shield instead of shooting bullets and you have to fumble around to down switch to a good bullet type again.

Are you sure you're not just thinking of the promo-game Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon? That came out a while ago, and it's not shit - but it's not all that good either. Mechanically, it's fine - but because it was intended as an advertisement, it's piss easy in order to get the most exposure. They really should have added more modes that brought it's difficulty more in line with the NES Castlevanias that it's trying to ape.

I poked through that DMC5 let's play to watch the bossfights and it was disgusting. I've never seen someone learn absolutely nothing about a game and have to resort to flailing around like a retard for hours at the final boss. I don't think he'd have cleared a single post SDT boss with Dante without having SDT. Every fight was just scraping by until he could get SDT and and using The Luce and Judgement for free damage. I never saw him use a Real Impact, I never saw him use Royal Guard until the fight vs Vergil after dying 30 times and having his chat scream at him to use it all the while. As a matter of fact every bossfight I saw him do mostly involved him running away and shooting with Gunslinger. It took him a couple deaths to realize that Vergil deflects all of that shit. Absolute disgrace. I've heard that his Bayo playthrough was also a disaster.

See, the thing is, most people make the mistake of watching Vinny in hopes of seeing some sort of skilled play. Sure he doesn't grasp the most basic concepts in video games right off the bat, but there's a charm in watching him fumble while talking about his interests. He's also well-aware he's bad at video games, and he gets grilled about it by his own chat daily. They've even made memes about it, calling him "Brainyot" or screaming at him for being "vineblind". He just rolls with the punches, and sometimes cares about what people think of him. He's not in it for glory or money (though, what streamer isn't in it for the money?), he just likes streaming and playing video games. Even though he's horrible at them.

Triple points if he starts talking about his extremely original do not steal music which totally isn't just covers without mentioning that they're covers.

And you can't be certain of your vague shitstirring conspiracy theory of unknown basis or relevance over a cup size change. There's no proof aside from a direct statement which, if it doesn't fall within your narrow range of preferred answers, is bound to be discarded anyway, so you might as well stop beating around the fucking bush and call it SJW pandering when it's clearly, obviously not so you can derail the thread over a fucking couple of cup sizes when IT HAS BECOME MORE EXPLICIT THAN IT WAS BEFORE.

The fact of the matter is that the size has been reduced, the reasoning isn't posted but there's more than a few common reasons. You know this, which is why you've automatically assumed it's because of SJW reasons. I don't like it because I dislike changes like that in general. Doesn't matter if it's personal taste, SJW, or what happened with the FF7 remake and an "Ethics committee" came in and said to reduce it. Point it its's smaller and so I expect the rest to be rounded off similarly.

I haven't seen the explicit content in the current model, but I've seen the practice of taming the game at launch, only to add lewder content later, done before like in SF5. And the reduction (and my screenshot showing it) is in the presentation shown for the differences in the new model based off of commentary from fans and those calling themselves such.

Where have I put that in my posts? I said people have every right to be suspicious that it is SJW sensibilities and taking out things albeit a small bit from games fits the pattern of SJW censorship.

I admit the previous model's could have been shaped a bit better but I hope you aren't implying that the size isn't realistic. There's no real reason to changed it when a refinement of shape isn't at all impossible. Especially since so many characters already have "huge knockers"
7b9ddf No.16615821

Not saying they weren't realistic, just… not all that well-shaped or appealing. I'm simply in the belief that the current size and shape is their actual intent and not some vague outside force pushing them to make changes. Now, we could have an argument all fucking night about what constitutes their pure intent, but I don't think there's anything sinister or malign going on.

How about you go fuck off with that kind of talk? The removal of cow-tits isn't a big deal to me, because I personally don't like them quite that big, but every man has to draw a line in the sand somewhere - and if this is his, let him have it. It's a valid criticism.
If he's making the claim that Igarashi was forced to reduce the bust size because of outside influences, that's easy enough to confirm or debunk - just as it's easy enough to confirm or debunk if he did it as a stylistic change as part of his own vision for the series. I mean, shit does often go through revisions during the creative process, and it does often get changed to cow to political pressure. I don't think Bloodstained has what it takes to even be a target for those kinds of people - considering it's a real game and they don't play games, nor is it big enough for them to be able to latch onto and signal boost to mass audiences.
But for just liking cow-tits and being autistically mad they're not in the game? Fucking fair enough.

>I think the game would looks MUCH better in full hand-drawn-style 2d
Sure, but 2D is sadly dying. After how 1/2 hero turned out I'm completely sure they would have halfassed hand drawn stuff as well, not to mention that is also ridiculously expensive. I was looking at the story of SOTN and the reason they went with 2D was because 3D was so new that there was more people experiences with 2D sprite rendering that 3D rendering. Right now is the contrary.
The reason games like Blasphemous use pixel art is probably because one of the main devs is the artist, and it's also compromised with the game, only reason I can think of.

The most broken spell I've found is Tis Rozain. You get it by combining Tis Raiff with a Diamond. Tis Raiff drops from the succubus with the whip.
It's a laser beam. It almost instantly travels the full screen in a straight line. Normally it's a sustained spell (just like the OP boss killer grinder). However, the damage is done in large infrequent bursts. As a result, you can simply tap the button and spend ~5 mp to do full damage equivalent to some of the more expensive spells, then wait 1-2 seconds before tapping it again. You can even weave melee attacks in if you want to kill something really fast.
Just make sure you have the tome that increases directional spell damage and that you craft a full 9 stack of Tis Rozain. Both seem to increase damage by 30-50% multiplicitive, so you end up doing around 300ish in that quarter-second tick.

Just fyi, breaking lights with the portraits does NOT apply your luck/gold bonuses, so instead of getting 500-2000 gold per light late game with all the related passives, you still get 1-10.

Almost disappointed there's no Dragonforce easter eggs, or even a kickstarter item from them. They're fucking crazy Igavania fans.

Just find the valkyrie dress, she doesn't wear bloomers in that.
Also, is that the only equipment that changes her dress?
I hoped the kalasiris would do the same, but it doesn't.

Not counting the Ex Shovel Armor which is something completely different, no. Valkyrie is the only one that changes the dress. Yes I have 100% armors to prove it.

Game is great and worth a play, the only negative things for me are:
That you need to farm a shard from a random enemy to swim, that's bad game design.
The fact that at the beginning they show that "use the fireball shard to fire the cannon" but they never do that again. I loved dawn of sorrow's secret enemies that required doing shit like that (like electricity on a generator to spawn mothman).
The last two levels feel rushed as fuck, enemy and level design wise.
The donator shit is jarring, donator goals are a mistake.
I mean, you either get them in an obnoxious way, the flying portraits at random rooms in the castle, or really hidden away, to the point you might as well exclude them from the game, like the "n bit coin" weapons
They should have done something like in shovel knight, where all the donator portraits are in a separate optional level that is ghost themed

There's exactly 2 cannons, both on the boat. On the bright side at least you can use any fire-based shard and not only that one specific shard you get for that purpose. I think Blood Steal is probably the worst offender though, what with there being exactly one blood pool you need it for

>Big ghost level
Probably a better idea than BIG OL' HONKIN' ICE CAVE and Big Small World.

Obviously you use Accelerate for your blue shard once you get it. Beast guard can be useful since you can move and attack while using it.

Grinder is OP early. Later on you get Tis Rozin (light beam) which does almost as much dps instantly at nearly unlimited range (shard from flying whip succubus + diamond). Tapping it every second or so costs way less mana and allows you to keep your distance and keep mobile. Endgame/NG+ you can replace it with Void Ray, which is basically the same but bigger, faster, and dark element (shard from black dragon).
Always make sure to get 9x of whatever shards you plan to use for damage. The damage increase is significant, something around +50-100% compared to 1 shard.

nah im using carpenter right now which is way better than light beam which has a retarded delayed dps rate. Seriously 9/9 carpenter chisels are just a machine gun of heavy damage

Maybe for bosses. You can just hose down a room with Void Ray and kill everything in under one second for like 20 mana.

Tried it and it was trash, possibly the pirated version im playing but there's a delay where it only does a certain amount of damage per tick.

Yes the damage per tick is exactly why it's good. You can just do one tick of damage, then stop casting and go back to dodging. With something like Chisel Barrage or Heretical Grinder you have to stand still and channel it. The beams barely even affect your motion at all when used properly.
