Killer7 SINdicate

[CENSORED]

I'm already getting Metroid day 1, but if I were on the fence, that trailer would've had me tear that fucking fence down. Shit the action looks really good. Nintendo is turning Samus into their own version of Iron Man. They already copied his uppercut. We finally see Samus's face sort of.
What I'm most amused by, is that the Chozo are Bio-mechanical. Maybe they always were, but I never noticed. I always thought that they were organic, coz they looked organic in Samus's flashbacks from previous games & even their statues look like organic organisms.

Yeah Metroid Dread looks amazing. I have it preordered already. I didn't like Samus Returns that much, but I agree with you that it's an okay game. My problem with it was that the action was too centered on melee counters, forcing you to sit still a lot of the time. Dread already fixed that. I am also liking the art direction a lot better.

The Chozos shown in the prequel manga were organic bird people, though you only saw a few of them on planet Zebes, very old ones, it is implied that their species was already on the verge of death by then (hence why Mother Brain throws in her lot with the space pirates, and leaves them to die)

Xed was playing NMH3 a day before everyone else was. Psyche! I know nobody else playing that garbage except Xed AYYY LMAO!

Yeah I was sort of obliged, with having a fansite and everything. It's possibly the worst Suda game in my opinion, but for reasons I never could have predicted. (The game actually runs well. The overworld is capped at 30fps, but all the fight sequences run at 60. I never would have guessed that from the trailers, I thought it would run like dogshit.)
I'll go more into detail as per why I disliked the game in the NMH thread. Let me just say, I wish the game was structured like a ps2 hack and slash, I would have liked it then. I'm glad I decided not to cover any of the no more heroes sequels though. TSA had some interesting stuff, but it all gets thrown away in 3.

Anyway I actually played a bit of MH Rise on emulator. You don't see me play on switch much these days because some games outright run better on emus. (I played through Skyward Sword HD on 4k on ryujinx. I really liked it compared to 10 years ago, possibly because I can't stand motion controls. Like the game has problems but compared to modern garbage, it's a complete masterpiece lol. I've also been playing Age of Calamity on emulator which doesen't run that well, but at least it will improve in performance as the emulator gets updated, while the Switch version will run like shit forever.)
I only played a bit to test it out and it is still glitchy, but it runs at 60fps and it allows for multiplayer with other emulators. So long term, that's probably gonna be the best way of playing the game. I tried playing NMH3 on emulator as well, but unfortunately it was either glitchy, didn't run, or kept crashing, so I played that one on actual hardware.
I heard Asstral Chain got a 60fps patch on emulators too, but I haven't tried it yet

[Krizzx]

I'm waiting for mine to come in the mail. I ordered it as soon as it was available.

According to Sess, its pretty much more of the same as NMH1. So if you liked NMH1 you'll, be right at home, but it doesn't improve on anything from it. So, it won't be bringing any new people on board.



That's all perfectly fine with me. I loved the first game. Even with the jank, empty open world.

[DaRealEvilone]

At this point we all grow up
Sess's cover video is perfect, nmh is getting old
I sometimes think suda tried to cling on popular stuff as football reason Travis is touchdown
Is cool for a while but its gets old
Because these crowd isn't interested in nmh
This crowd I mean the majority fans of pop culture
They probablyplaying cod fornite gta
I consider killer 7 like a more polish game
While nmh feels like a mad teenager in his rebel years

I always go to store never seen a PS5 Xbox series x, just recently saw a Xbox series s
Anyway talking to the rabbit on the family, my lil bro stated that doesn't play Fortnite anymore
Lol better for me not need to buy him series s
Cus he was complaining about it playing in Nintendo switch lol
I told him before "steo up your game" like you buy it lmao

[Jack]

I was going to buy Republic Commando, but the Switch wouldn't allow me to enter the store or even acess the games on my own fucking account.
I eventually learned that some punkass bitch from Indonesia stole my Switch account, and made his switch the primary. He apparently stole my shit on September 5, 2021 and was leaching off of me ever since. I didn't realize that someone was stealing my shit until today. I just assumed that all the retarded shit I was going through was just typical Hi-rez being Hi-rez (as in their games are always buggy as fuck & random. You'll never know what kinda glitch you get next!), and typical Nintendo being Nintendo (as in their online digital service is retarded & buggy, and still doesn't even have a fucking cart.), lol.

I didn't realize something was wrong until Nintendo straight up banned me from playing my own digi games. So I had to fucking call them, ask them what the fuck is up!? That's when I found out bout the Indonesian faggot. (I had to answer a series of questions to verify that I am, who I say I am, and had to verify my Switch.)
I got Nintendo to ban his punkass, and they gave me back my primary account plus my huge library of games. He can't play muh games no more.

I didn't figure this out until today though, coz the same exact shit that happened to this guy, happened to me.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/18 ... h/78682925
I too, just assumed that the Switch checking for confirmation before you play the game, was an update. I didn't realize that something was wrong until my Switch just outright prevented me from playing any digital games earlier today. Which fucking pissed me off coz I was on a roll in Streets of Rage 4. I'm def gonna have to get the physical version of SOR4 Anniversary edition coz you really can't rely on digital games.
Some hacker can suddenly steal all of your shit. I have 11 physical games, the rest of my library are digital which number in the 100s due to how most games I play, don't have physical versions.

I'm lucky that he didn't bother to spend the money that I had left on the account. (About $2 lol.) I think he was too busy downloading my games. I was wondering why I kept getting a 1 hour long deserter penalty in Rogue Company, which made no fucking sense coz I'd be getting these penalties after a series of matches where I both won the match, and was the top player. How the fuck can you be a deserter when you're the main reason that your team won?

It turns out, it's coz the faggot from Indonesia was plaything through my account at the same time, and this faggot was constantly rage-quitting and fucking up my records. Almost makes me not want to play any more coz some random ass faggot from Asia stole my shit, and doesn't even have the fucking decency to at least kick ass in the games he stole from me lol.
I don't know how the fuck he figured out my password, but I had to change it. I now use a full 20 letter pw, instead of the standard one that I always use. This fucker just get lucky pressing random letters & numbers? lol! the standard PW that I use isn't exactly easy to guess.

Sucks mang. Maybe I'll have to buy a physical Bloodstained after all. It's frustrating spending so much money on digital crap, and then suddenly losing access to it. I got everything back, but mang. At least with physical, you'd have to kill me first before you steal all muh shit AYY LMAO!

While nmh feels like a mad teenager in his rebel years

That's what Suda's games always feel like to me. Especially Shadows of the Damned. Sure he's smart. Only a smart man could come up with Killer7's story and manage to stay so accurate on the subject of politics that he's talking about. It's just funny that the same guy who does Silver Case & K7 is also the same guy who does that reference-humor bullshit.

You got the Switch version of Bloodstained? You must not have watched any video's on it. Its fucking horrible. They put the least effort into that port(even though the Switch is where most of the people who wanted the game were). It doesn't even maintain 30fps on top of have a bunch of missing shading effects. They really fucked the switch users with that one, because there is nothing resource intensives or technically taxing going on in this game. The switch can run Crysis Remastered, so there is no justification for the game to run that badly. Its just a shit port. Would have done better getting the version that was in the Humble bundle last month. In fact, I actually still have the code for mine because I already have the game on GOG. I don't need my steam copy).



Also, I didn't even know about the MHR Akuma patch. After I beat all the post final boss monters and got their armor, there was really nothing else to do. I haven't put the game in my Switch in months. I may put it back in just for Akuma.




I really, really want to the Azure Striker Gunvolt games, but I refuse to do so until they go on sale. I can't justify paying those prices for what is essentially a bunch of high resolution Gameboy Advance games, because they haven't updated their visual style since they developed MegamanZero. I guess they ddn't want to try going full modern again after blowing it with Might No. 9. People steal think it was Inafune who fucked that game up, but his company didn't actually develop games. They just created ideas and got other companies to make it. He got Intl creates to do MN9 because of their relationship from when they made MegamanZero, but they had no idea what they were doing on HD systems. Kind of Inafune to take all the blame, even though the significance of it was lost on most gamers do to them believing him to be the one who screwed up its development in the first place, lol.

I'm shocked to see Inafune in this video. He basically vanished from the industry after MN9 failed. I thought he would never show his face in public again with his reputation damaged so bad. For a while, there wasn't a peep from him anywhere. No interviews of anything.

Yeah Mighty Number 9 is fucked on a basic game design & level design plane which would have been Inti's responsibility. Comcept does nothing but provide art, game concepts and what not.
Inti was also fired from working on RotN, which tells me they probably can't work on 3d/hd games at all. (RotN turned out to be okay, mediocre, it's like a 7/10 I really enjoyed because I missed the specific iteration of this subgenre)
I do like their 2d games a lot though. I actually like the CotM games better than RotN lol. I still have not finished CotM 2 but that's not because I disliked it. I just had a pirated copy and I lost it while switching desktops, and I have not bothered downloading it again yet. Good game though. I think Jack would have been better off getting those two instead of RotN on switch which indeed runs like dogshit.

I was wondering why you wouldn't just get discounted keys for the Gunvolt games, but I went and checked and they are more expensive than most other games on key shops lol, I wonder how they managed to do that. Either way I'm sure you can just download them if you want, forcing yourself to pay for digital content is just absurd, it's a bunch of data you can't eat, drink or resell so it has zero value. It's only good to pay for convenience, as in, when pirating is a hassle, but I'm sure copies of gunvolt are just a google search and onion link away
(obviously I am assuming you are fine with the PC versions. If you really want them on switch then yeah no other solution but to shill out cash.)

[Jack]

It was only $19 big whoop. Although yes I was weary of what I heard which is why I refrained from buying the $40 Physical version of Bloodstained, now I'm wishing that I bought that instead of rebuying BOTW. BOTW is good, but it's not my type of game. Bloodstained has full blown fighting game move notations in conjunction with the dungeon crawler style blob combat. BS is a combat+exploration lover's dream.
I bought Bloodstained coz it seems to be a highly replayable game that never gets boring. It has randomizer mode which switches up all of the boss & item locations.
It has Bloodless mode where you play as Bloodless & a Classic mode that plays like the original Castlevania. I can't get past the third level (I'm playing on hard mode. Anything less is inexcusable.), so it's actually harder than the original lol. Switch Bloodstained has noticeable input lag, but it's a Castlevania style game anyway, so it feels intentional. Even though it's probably not. I can live with imperfect ports, I'm gaming on a Switch after all.

I love Miriam's design (even though you can completely change the way she looks. I gave her a Tina Branford make over for a little while before I just went back to default Miriam.) and I want to buy every game that she's in. (She's in Blasphemous, Wallachia Reign of Dracula, Kingdom Two Crowns DEAD LANDS, Might Fight Federation, and a few others that I forgot coz the games didn't look good. I'm getting the 4 I mentioned though.)

I also saw it as the only competition that Metroid Dread has, even though they are completely different games.
Bloodstained feels like a dungeon crawler, I have a lot of fun just killing off hordes and the hordes all come at you by the 100s at the same time with no slow down.
Granted, this game ran at 60 fps in the other versions, so it most likely plays much better in the other ports but the Switch port is not a bad experience at all.

I find it fucking funny though how back in the day when Sega Genesis almost always had the better multiplatform version, nobody gave a shit that the Sega version ran at 60 fps. Possibly coz Genesis lack of colors prob turned them off.

I recently bought 9th Dawn 3, coz it looks so much like the western rpgs that I grew up with, before they became gay & boring with way too much useless text written by actual virginnerds like the Baldur's Gate series. A lot of retards on the net say that it's like the Ultima series. It's not, 9th Dawn just plays like an open world Diablo 2 or the oldschool Divine Divinity games (which were also compared to Ultima back in the day.). It pretty much has the same gameplay flow as Bloddstained, but from an overhead perspective. In both games, you can have an army of monsters fighting along side you. I always have a full platoon of Dullahammer heads fighting along side me in Bloodstained, and Zangetsu still murders every single one of them without even trying

I don't need my steam copy).

I don't understand why you still get shocked that I'm always doing the exact opposite of what everyone tells me. I learned through experience that the vast majority of the crowd are just talking shit, and not speaking from their own first hand experience. I pay no heed to over-socialized opinions, which is what you mostly see on the internet. Opinions that are passed off as their own. I'm not contrarian. I just don't value the opinions of the horde for the most part, because the vast majority of the horde are only agreeing with the common consensus, as a sense of belonging with what appears to be the majority.

Even then, if I were to use appeal to the majority,
the general consensus right now is that the Switch port is passable.

So long as you ignore the op, who doesn't even sound like he played the Switch port.
I only play on Switch these days, Bloodstained runs much better than most Switch exclusives.

That's not a defense for the port, just a statement that's true when you compare it to Switch 3rd party exclusives such as Daemon X Machina, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Deadly Premonition 2 & No More Heroes 3.
DP2 is what I'd consider an unplayable game. it even looks unplayable from the vids. Most Switch vids I've seen of Bloodstained, especially from this year, don't look unplayable at all.

Bloodstained runs much better than Age of Calamity & Breath of the Wild. BOTW doesn't get enough hate for how laggy & slow that game is, yet I found Bloodstained to be much more playable than BOTW. It's true that the Switch port doesn't look as good as the other versions, but it looks good enough. Bloodstained wasn't a good looking game to begin with, saved by only its character designs & overall art style.
The only time the game slows down is during boss fights.The frame rate is mostly a consistent 30 fps. I know what laggy frame rates look like, & Bloodstained is passable. if it has lag outside of giant boss fights, I haven't noticed it. Even then it's not that bad, especially if you grew up with NES & SNES, which both have horrible frame rates by today's standards.
If Internet didn't exist, I wouldn't notice that the port is bad, because it isn't. Bloodstained runs much better than most Nintendo Switch Exclusives.
Bloodstained doesn't run as bad as SNES. Try playing Turrican Flashback, every single game on that collection runs at 60 fps except for the SNES Turrican, ayy lmao.

The slow down has to be as bad as Xcom 2 for me to consider it a bad port, but in the case of Xcom 2, every single console port is bad. That was actually a case where I assumed that the Switch port just shit the bed due to extremely long loadtimes, and the jerky ass animations that skip every 5 frames. The PS4 port is also garbage though and who fucking cares about Xbone.
Bloodstained is nowhere near the ball park of Xcom2. Bloodstained's frame rate is smooth outside of boss fights with giant monsters. I nearly quit the game coz the frame rate during the first boss with the giant tits is ass.

I'm glad I didn't though coz Bloodstained has a fun dungeon crawl style gameplay flow It also seems way harder than previous Metroidvanias. I'm playing on Hard, and I die a lot, especially to that Jap faggot with the Solid Snake voice.
I swear mang, David Hayter has to be the worst voice actor ever. I don't understand why people think he's a good match for Zangetsu, coz hayter just sounds likes an angsty Emo to me. I actually didn't even notice it was Hayter until I looked up who did the shitty ass voice. (He's just using his stock Solid Snake voice. I didn't notice coz I hate that voice anyway. It doesn't even sound that deep. I have a deep voice.)
When you play it in Japanese, Zangetsu sounds like a monstrous, angry beast. I don't understand how anyone could like Bloodstained's English voices when not a single one of them speaks with emotion. Especially David Hayter, my god this guy does not have any range or emotion at all.

It worked for Solid Snake (even though the Jap version did a much better stoic voice.) coz Snake is a genetically altered hooman, so he has some leeway for sounding flat & emotionless as hell.
Zangetsu doesn't have that excuse. His entire story is that he wants revenge on all demons (including Miriam. He doesn't consider her human, lol.) for killing his family yet he always sounds like he's having a monologue even though he's supposedly speaking to Miriam or his friends. In the Japanese dub, he has sounds like he's so angry that he's gonna kill everything but he sounds even more angry when speaking to Miriam lol.
You don't get that kind of range from the English cast. David Hayter just sounds like David Hayter. He sure ain't no Steve Blum, another guy who has an overrated 'deep' voice that isn't even deep but at least Blum can act, and his voice does have tons of emotions depending on the line he's reading.

I find it fucking funny how the Hayter fans blame Bloodstained's bad dub on bad voice directing when every other character actually sounds like they're talking to people, not talking to themselves. I'd prob let that pass, if the game didn't allow you to switch to Jap voices, where you can clearly see that this isn't the case. Zangetsu is not some retard monologing to himself, Jap Zangetsus still only has one emotion, that of anger. The difference is the degree of his wrath, lol. He sounds like he just wants to kill you straight up if he's speaking to Miriam. When speaking to Dominique, he's much calmer, but still angry as fuck lol.

Would have done better getting the version that was in the Humble bundle last month. In fact, I actually still have the code for mine because I already have the game on GOG. I don't need my steam copy).

I'll take it, I can't play it though. I'm on Mac. I let my mom own my yucky Bill Gate's pc.

I really, really want to the Azure Striker Gunvolt games, but I refuse to do so until they go on sale. I can't justify paying those prices for what is essentially a bunch of high resolution Gameboy Advance games, because they haven't updated their visual style since they developed MegamanZero.

It was originally released on the 3ds. IMO, they're nowhere near as good as the Zero games. Zero had this badass post apocalyptic cyber punk story filled with death & destruction. Azure has stupid SJW language such as "Xer".
On top of that, the Azure's level design just isn't good. They may have changed it in the sequels, but in the original game, levels were extremely linear & short where the main thing that decided your grade was your combos.

In the Zero games, the levels constantly had you moving up, down, left to right and the enemy placement itself felt like an obstacle that you had to overcome since a lot of times, they were strategically placed as part of a platform puzzle where if you screwed up, you die. In Azure, there's no thought to the enemy placement. They don't feel like obstacles, they're just mindless fodder that you kill.
Azure is a decent side game to Zero, but it ain't Zero. Now granted the no.1 thing I hated about Zero was the Rpg level grinding.

Amusing, I love the rpg elements of Bloodstained but I can't stand it in Zero. The reason for this is that the Zero games are too short so you have to purposely level grind in an earlier level if you want to actually beat the later stages.

Zero's character design is just way more badass. I don't really like the whole Lilita art direction of the Azure games. Zero only had Ciel, but everyone else looked like a badass robot or monster.

People steal think it was Inafune who fucked that game up, but his company didn't actually develop games. They just created ideas and got other companies to make it. He got Intl creates to do MN9 because of their relationship from when they made MegamanZero, but they had no idea what they were doing on HD systems. Kind of Inafune to take all the blame, even though the significance of it was lost on most gamers do to them believing him to be the one who screwed up its development in the first place, lol.

Fuck Inafune. People still think that Team Ninja made Ninja Gaiden yaiba when that was Inafune's idea and he outsourced it to some Western dev who went out of business after they made that game lol. I wouldn't mind Inafune if he had just kept his stench to Crapcom products. This is also the same guy who tried to turn Frank West into the new Capcom mascot. Look at how well that worked out, Dead Rising is dead. The first game was fucking good for its time though. I never even bothered with 3 & 4, and 2 was fucking boring.

(RotN turned out to be okay, mediocre, it's like a 7/10 I really enjoyed because I missed the specific iteration of this subgenre)

It's like an 8 or 9 to me so far, and I don't even like Metroidvania games. The difference with Bloodstained is that they clearly made it more like a Dungeon crawl so there's much more focus on fighting than in previous installments. You even a full list fighting game move notations. Which honestly kinda feels outdated, coz I can't imagine modern gamers understanding what to do with Street Fighter style move inputs. Mortal Kombat & Smash Bros don't use SF style move inputs, but friggin Bloodstained which isn't even advertised for its fighting, has street fighter inputs coz it's what SOTN did.

A lot of the ideas from SOTN weren't even fleshed out though, and felt like an incomplete game. Ritual of the Night took those same ideas and turned it into the game that SOTN should've always been.
Funny that though, coz most people claim that it's only average and Metroidvania fans themselves generally hate on Bloodstained. I don't really understand that, and I do play SOTN enough to understand the appeal of that game.
https://psnprofiles.com/trophies/8366-c ... adnificent
It's just that SOTN to me was the 7 out of 10 game (8 during its era.), only saved by its art design & music. ROTN's music & art isn't as beloved, but I don't think it's bad at all. Ritual of the Night on the other hand actually has good combat, especially in Hard & Nightmare mode. The only other Metroidvania I've played where I died this much was Order of Ecclesia, which wasn't really metroidvania, but whatever. Bloodstained is clearly inspired by Ecclesia just due to how the town works, & Miriam can look exactly like Shanoa when you go to the barber shop.

I do like their 2d games a lot though. I actually like the CotM games better than RotN lol.

Have you tried Classic mode yet. It's not a remake of Casltevania 3 like the Curse games are, but I think it does a damn good job of remaking the original Casltevania. Bloodstained's Classic mode is way harder than Rondo of the Blood. I heard so much fucking hype over Rondo of the Blood, being one of the hardest games ever but I just beat it on day 1, AYY LMAO! Now granted, I only played CLassic mode for a few hours which is why I'm still only on level 3 but I died way more at level 2 than I did during the entirety of Rondo.

forcing yourself to pay for digital content is just absurd, it's a bunch of data you can't eat, drink or resell so it has zero value. It's only good to pay for convenience,

It's also easier for some fuck nugget from Indonesia to steal all of your shit. In my case, I buy digital a lot coz over half of Switch's library is digital only. It's the most popular console right now, but it gets treated like a red headed step child. Nobody is making exclusives for the Switch except Capcom. That's why the only physical games I own are all Nintendo or Capcom. I also have a few Bandai Namco physical games.

It's like an 8 or 9 to me so far, and I don't even like Metroidvania games. The difference with Bloodstained is that they clearly made it more like a Dungeon crawl so there's much more focus on fighting than in previous installments.

I have a few complaints about it but they come from the perspective of someone who likes the game. Some bosses suck (like the twin dragons and the money guy), some areas are boring or cheaply made (like the giant zone), the grinding sidequests were boring, I'm not really fond of the crafting system (though you don't need it at all to progress through the game lol.)
I'm not saying the game sucks at all though. I just think it could have implemented some things from the earlier igavanias, like having more creative shard placements, or more clever ways of exploring the map. Overall though I am a fan of the genre and of the series in particular.
I will say, me calling it a 7/10 isn't really fair because I haven't played any of the extra content at all. I'm also playing it down because I am a legitimate fanboy, so I'm assuming I just watched the game through rose tinted glasses. I played the game on release (I backed it on kikescammer lol, I even have the big collector's box and everything) and completed the main campaign to 100%, but haven't touched it since, which means I missed out on Zangetsu & Bloodless modes, classic mode, randomizer, boss revenge etc. which probably bump up the game immensely. I want to work on the website these days, but once I get tired of that I'll probably play through all three Bloodstained games again lol.

I heard so much fucking hype over Rondo of the Blood, being one of the hardest games ever but I just beat it on day 1, AYY LMAO!

The difficulty of the entire CV series is overrated. CV3 is the only one that is legitimately hard, and most of the difficulty comes from the final gauntlet of levels. (If you pick Sypha as your companion she just blasts through every single boss too lol.)
Castlevania Chronicles is difficult too I guess, but I can't say for sure because I usually don't replay that game, it's too fucking long. Some of the higher difficulties in the 3d games are also hard I guess but who'd wanna play that? Those games are't that good to begin with lol. LoI is straight up terrible, CoD is heavily flawed even though I enjoy it overall. (I'm not counting the LoS games)
Rondo of Blood is easily the second easiest game next to SCIV. I like them all though, I can suck castlevania dick all day I guess. I even liked the tv show that everyone else seems to hate lol.

I love Miriam's design (even though you can completely change the way she looks. I gave her a Tina Branford make over for a little while before I just went back to default Miriam.) and I want to buy every game that she's in. (She's in Blasphemous, Wallachia Reign of Dracula, Kingdom Two Crowns DEAD LANDS, Might Fight Federation, and a few others that I forgot coz the games didn't look good. I'm getting the 4 I mentioned though.)

I have never heard of any of those games except for Blasphemous. Which had gorgeous art direction but I thought it sucked. However I have been told multiple times that most of my biggest complaints (such as shitty inconsistent platforming where you fall through platforms with insta death spikes) have been fixed and a lot of content has been added to the game so I need to give it another chance. I haven't heard of the other three at all though. What are they like?

I found this list of crossovers, but it seems to be incomplete. It doesen't least Wallachia reign of dracula at all.

LOL we have a Castlevania thread that's getting ignored but these are the most detailed posts you hear about Bloodstained at this forum.

I'm not really fond of the crafting system (though you don't need it at all to progress through the game lol.)

What's wrong with the crafting system? You'd actually prefer to buy items rather than just make them? I had a flameberge & a bloodgrinder as early as before the first Zangetsu fight because I found a 8bit coin early on.
I don't even buy potions. I just make them. I view crafting like this, I don't pay attention to it, but I'll use it if I have enough items lying around to make cool new gear & items without paying shit.

It's like what I was saying earlier about SOTN feeling incomplete. Wtf is even the point of a store or special fighting game moves in SOTN when you never felt the need to use any of them? In Bloodstained, the gameplay flow is so similar to a dungeon crawler that you find yourself going back to town just to renew your gear & restock on items before heading back.

In SOTN, the only special moves you ever use were Hellfire & Dark Metamorphosis. The same moves that you usually see Dracula use in various Casltevania games. In Bloodstained, most weapons have their own moveset & it can drastically change the way the game plays especially when combined with shards & equipment that amplify that weapons stats. You can play like Charlotte from Samurai Shodown & concentrate on rapid strikes with a rapier while doing anti air with a homing shot or riga storerama. You can jump in & out with a dagger while throwing it to keep distance. You can use status infliction weapons that curse the enemy.
There's a long sword tactic where you can input a KOF King style input to do a powered up slash, cancelling out the animation for your previous smash, but you do twice the dmg. You can even play Miriam like Metal Slug and center your gear/shards around gun builds.

Bloodstained added in so many fight mechanics, and it's funny coz I never fucking asked for fighting game style movesets in a Metroidvania but never realized how much better these types of games would play, with them.
Even in stuff like Ninja Gaiden, I'm generally only using two special attacks over & over. In Bloodstained, the game is balanced enough that I use a completely different tactic depending on the weapon's moveset, and the equipment & shards I have to aid in that weapon's use.

There's so many different ways to pursue combat in Bloodstained that it almost feels like a 2d version of Monster Hunter. In previous Metroidvanias, the combat was fucking forgetable, and easily one of the worst & most brainless things about the games outside of Ecclesia. Which had the opposite problem, it was way too hard for a game on a small portable that was made for people with tiny hands. Almost as hard as a Megaman Zero game.

I'm not saying the game sucks at all though. I just think it could have implemented some things from the earlier igavanias, like having more creative shard placements, or more clever ways of exploring the map. Overall though I am a fan of the genre and of the series in particular.

None of which matter to me since ROTN was clearly meant to re-invoke SOTN more than any other game, and it really does feel like a bigger & improved SOTN for the most part. The only place where SOTN does better is the music, but ROTN's music isn't bad either. It just doesn't have as much range as SOTN. SOTN had a lot of 80s style tracks that ROTN completely lacks.


Well outside of Classic mode, where the ost sounds much closer to COTM.

I will say, me calling it a 7/10 isn't really fair because I haven't played any of the extra content at all. I'm also playing it down because I am a legitimate fanboy, so I'm assuming I just watched the game through rose tinted glasses. I played the game on release (I backed it on kikescammer lol, I even have the big collector's box and everything) and completed the main campaign to 100%, but haven't touched it since, which means I missed out on Zangetsu & Bloodless modes, classic mode, randomizer, boss revenge etc. which probably bump up the game immensely. I want to work on the website these days, but once I get tired of that I'll probably play through all three Bloodstained games again lol.

I'm a Casltevania fan too, but mostly only for the art & music. The gameplay for the series as a whole was always a 7, lol. Bloodstained has much better gameplay than most of the actual Casltevania games do. Sure a lot of people whine that it's too easy. I don't find it too easy at all on hard mode. I rarely ever died in any Metroidvania outside of Ecclesia which didn't even play like a Metroidvania anyway.
Bloodstained at least has Nightmare mode which turns the level up system into something more like Monster Hunter, where you don't level up at all. Only your gear adds stats to your base.

I will say that what you've stated is exactly what's wrong with the Xenoblade fanbase. They all claimed that XB2 was a trash game but I played it last year, after it had all of its modes & update patches added in. That game when graded with all of its patches & dlc modes was a 9 to me while XB DE was a 6 gameplay wise, since the only reason to play XB DE is for the (fucking shit) story.
XB2 does a much better job with gnosticism than XB1 did, but XB1 is generally held in much higher regard coz it's less Animu. By 'Animu' what they mean is that there's less anime waifu pandering. Which is actually still there, but XB1 makes people feel 'cool' & 'badass' I guess. XB1 has the worst plot I've ever seen for a game that allegedly has one of the best plots in the world.
People make fun of me when I claim that it's way more anime than XB2, but even the creator of XB1 claimed that he based XB1 off of shonen hero stories whereas you see no such claim for XB2. The creator even mentions Rex as being much more mature than Shulk.

Which is hilarious coz the XB English fanbase see it the complete other way around. It's like they don't even notice that Shulk was an immature single minded racist murdering the shit out of this specific race coz they killed his girlfriend lol. Meanwhile they completely demonize the 14 yr old kid, who has a 9 to 5 job, who decided to help out some girl who brought him back to life. Actually getting killed by Torna's protagonist during the beginning of XB2, is what made XB2 immediately interesting to me.

I got rid of all of those games though for BOTW, lol. A game that I already had, but I actually missed playing it for some reason. I don't miss any of the XB games at all, although I did enjoy XB2 & Torna. Sometimes fanbases can be so bad that you don't want anything to do with them or the product. XB's fanbase outright call you a sexist incel, for claiming that there's nothing outright sexual about Xenoblade 2. Supposedly in the USA, they claim that they can tell what porn is, just by looking at it and Xenoblade 2 looks like porn, according to them.
It's hilarious to me, coz I just see cartoon characters in exotic outfits to accentuate the faux-fantasy setting (which is later revealed to be a sci fi post apocalypse setting.)

Americans legit act as if there's no such thing as biological females born with breast cup sizes that are larger than a C. That's why most big titted women from the USA, usually get surgery to chop their tits off to be flatter than the average man. Like I was complaining to you about on PM, Americans constantly treat me like I'm a subhuman animal who doesn't understand anything. They legit fucking hate Japanese people, coz we refuse to conform with their gayness. I can't say anything back since the mods just delete my message & ban me for daring to speak back to a tranny. Yet trannies are allowed to abuse me & those of my ethnicity with no impunity!

Some fandumbs really are just that annoying that you don't want anything to do with them. I'm still laughing that they thought XB3 was going to be announced last week coz Monolith soft's website was down. You don't need to bring your website down to update it. (You just do the update beforehand, but set it up to upload on a future date, or you manually upload it later.) Nerds should know better than that. I thought the Fire Emblem community was annoying as hell, and well they are (FE & XB online communities are both populated by the same exact trannies who force their opinion as fact.) but FE fulfills a niche that no one else really does (outside of Xcom's Jake Solomon), that of hardcore tactics combat. Solomon is even doing Midnight Suns, and that game is basically the superhero version of Three Houses. Instead of an academy you get a HQ to walk around in and interact with other supes. Too bad the limited 3 man squad turns me the fuck off though. I played Mario with a Gun, 3 man squads isn't big enough to add variety to a tactics game.

Trannies are really stupid though, they keep trying to force this meme that Three Houses had terrible writing when I'm replaying it again after ditching it way back in 2019 and the writing is still goddamn good. A lot of what they consider bad writing, doesn't even register as bad writing to me.
What's so bad about Rhea immediately choosing to execute an alternate denomination's loyalists, without questioning them further on what they meant by "This wasn't what was promised to us!"
I just saw that as Rhea having been through that before, she felt they were a waste of time, so she just wasted them. It can also be read as her keeping secrets from you, that you're not meant to hear. How is this bad writing?
That's actually an example of Three Houses treating you like a mature adult who has enough brain cells to figure out for yourself what that scene meant. Not everything has to be explained to you!!!
That's why I fucking hate the internet now. We have so many fucking morons, acting as authorities on narrative, when none of these smucks know how to fucking write. On internet, Edel is always passed off as this misunderstood character when early on she tells you straight up "If you stand in my way, I will cut you down until you have no blood left to bleed." She plays it off like a joke, but she actually means it just judging from her future actions in all three paths. (I haven't dont Rhea's yet.)
Rhea only turns on you when it's become clear that you're trying to extinct her people. Americants completely misinterpret this as Rhea turning on you for defiling her God, lol!
Amerimutts as usual, cheer on racial genocide as heroic, yet at the same time they're always crying about racism.
What the fuck is up with the American mind? They always say something that sounds positive, but then they always cheer on for murder, so long as the murder is presented to them in gift wrapping with a bow on top.


I can speak about this story shit with you on a sane non-histrionic level (Funny coz Kikes are historically known for being histronic), coz you actually write novels. Real novels, not fanficiton bullshit.
Bad writing to me, is every Persona after Persona 2, lol. Everyone is so damn one dimensional and the main plots so basic that I find it pretentious how Persona games always present themselves as mysterious when they're anything but. Fodland actually felt like a real country due to its extremely detailed history,
(Take the USA's foundational myths for example. The civil war wasn't fought over racism. Abe Lincoln was an extreme racist, had he lived he would've deported all Blacks back to Africa coz he didn't view them as Americans. That's the complete opposite of how he's portrayed in 2020.)
although they perhaps shouldn't have made Rhea the founder of a religious theocracy coz Amerimutants always shriek in terror & paranoia the moment that you utter the words "religion" or "god". Both the Right & the Left. The Right complain that you made the religious faction 'EVIL' again, when that's not Rhea's story at all lol.
They should've made Rhea's faction the faction of Science & Logic, just so you could finally hear some even-handed approaches to Three House's story which aren't over-socialized opinions bestowed upon them by TrannyNerdgods.

It's funny, how these faggots hate religion so much, but don't even notice just how religious the Xenoblade games are. Xenoblade actually does present itself as science, even though it's clearly basing itself off of the Gnostic perception of reality. Instead the main conversation you always hear about XB2 is that it's so sexist & misogynistic, and that Pyra's character design is misogynistic sexist trash. They call you a straight up incel if you created Dahlia's design, which is funny coz a woman created her. (As I said in the No More Heroes post, it's usually Japanese women who idealize huge tits & ass. The avg Japanese man actually doesn't care about that, coz they're afraid of women who are bigger than they are.)
It always makes me laugh coz Pyra is basically the same anime trope as Rika from Phantasy Star or Cutey Honey. Trannoids usually respond to this by scaremongering how evil & backwards the 80s & 90s were. Deep down I'm thinking, "why the fuck are we treating the insane as if their opinions matter?" Granted, in 2020s, I'm the 'insane' one.
The 'sane' people are the ugly faggots in female's dresses who are furiously jealous over cartoon characters lol. Seriously, I never see the Japanese taking cartoons as seriously as Americans do. This was true even back in the 90s & early 2000s where the average American Anime fan was way more zealous over their fandom than Japs are. In Japan, Anime fags aren't even that common. That's why Animu (As in the culture, represented by the likes of Akiba Strip) is a specialized interest in Japan, but seemingly mainstream in the USA, lol.

Castlevania Chronicles is difficult too I guess, but I can't say for sure because I usually don't replay that game, it's too fucking long.

It probably depends on the mode. I own the Jap version of that for jap ps2 (which can play psx games.)
I don't recall it being hard though. I rarely ever play the original version which probably is hard. I always go for the arranged version with the red headed Simon Belmont lol.

Rondo of Blood is easily the second easiest game next to SCIV. I like them all though, I can suck castlevania dick all day I guess. I even liked the tv show that everyone else seems to hate lol.

Snes's Dracula X was way more difficult than Rondo.
It's weird to me how Rondo was heralded as one of the hardest games for so long until it came out on PS4, and countless others aside like myself were decrying how fucking easy it is. I think it only too me like a 2 or 3 hours to beat it. It took me almost a week to unlock all trophies, but the actual game was completed in a few hours. I can't even do that with Bloodstained Classic mode coz it's too fucking hard. (I never played any difficulty besides hard.)
SC4 is one of my fave games of all time simply due to its atmosphere. (Not even SOTN comes close to CV4's atmosphere.) Bloodlines may be the much more definitive Classicvania experience but SCIV was like playing through a movie. The ost always matched what was going on, on-screen.

I even liked the tv show that everyone else seems to hate lol.

Even Iga doesn't like it, AYY LMAO!


I was game for season 1 & 2, but they completely dropped the ball with season 3 & 4. Season 4 was better than 3 but it's still shit. Season 4 wasted too much time fixing season 3's missteps that it basically had zero plot and they completely wrote out the best character, Issac. He doesn't even show up during the epilogue when by the end of the series, he was the only character who wasn't fucking retarded. I said my thoughts about season 4 at the netflix thread.

I have never heard of any of those games except for Blasphemous. Which had gorgeous art direction but I thought it sucked. However I have been told multiple times that most of my biggest complaints (such as shitty inconsistent platforming where you fall through platforms with insta death spikes) have been fixed and a lot of content has been added to the game so I need to give it another chance. I haven't heard of the other three at all though. What are they like?
https://fictionalcrossover.fandom.com/wiki/Bloodstained
I found this list of crossovers, but it seems to be incomplete. It doesen't least Wallachia reign of dracula at all.

It's just a Miriam costume, but close enough.


(Fuck man, am I the only one getting constant recommendations to 'Sphere Hunter' after viewing Bloodstained vids? Trannys are everywhere in video game communities for some reason. I never heard of that fag before. Admittedly he does look like a fucking hot woman (kinda looks like Miriam.), but I can immediately tell that's a tranny by viewing one of his live videos where his shoulders look almost as big as mine. I have big shoulders! On top of that the Anime avatar was a dead giveaway, although he actually looks cuter than the avatar, which is rare. I was so sure that this fuck is a tranny that I looked up nudes, and sure enough it is a tranny! At least this faggot passes though. If you don't force your dick on me, I ain't got a problem. Problem is, the typical American trannys threatens to physically harm you if you don't view them as a woman. I do watch a lot of video game reviewers like The Immortal John Hancock & Game Sack, but how do you go from those two goofy ass Gen X'rs to a Tranny? Like how the fuck does Jootube figure that they're anywhere near the same sphere of interest, just coz they both review games? lol!
BTW for every 'passing' tranny with a dick & balls, there's always a similar looking woman who looks 100x better like sugarf4airy.)

LOL listening to wikis, ever! In the main Bloodstained wiki, they don't even list Kingdom Dead Lands when that's the most obvious game that she's been in. They fucking show her off in that game's art.
https://www.kingdomthegame.com/news/202 ... dead-lands
She was in several Smash wannabes, but they suck so who cares.
It's hilarious how Miriam is in so many games.

Her Blasphemous appearance seems to actually be her though, since she even has the same voice actress.
Blasphemous feels & looks like Classicvania. I was gonna get that but then Bloodstained was suddenly on sale. Why get the game that only features thunderthighs goth egirl bitch when you can buy the game that she actually stars in? The Blasphemous spic must be really short though coz she towers over him in Blasphemous but in Bloodstained she only looks avg-tall for a female, somewhere between 5'7-5'11. Zangetsu looks anywhere from 5'10-6'3.
I'm guessing that the Blasphemous devs wanting to sprite Miriam's thighs in full glory so she looks much taller than she actually is. Kinda like how Dark Queen from Battletoads is 6ft tall but in-game she always looks about 15 feet tall lol.

A shame that Bloodstained only sold 1 million. You'd be thinking a game of this type would be much more popular but the best selling of the metroidvanias is that Hollow Knight trash at 3 million copies sold. I don't see Metroid Dread beating Hollow Knight either. The hype for it just doesn't seem to be there.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if Dread sells at least 3 million, but I ain't holding my breath. On top of that, Dread's online community is already polluted with trannies to the point that I finally stopped posting at any other forum except for this one. I got sick & tired of Metroid trannies calling Japan a backwards racist sexist shit hole, to where I respond with facts such as Japan's founder was a woman, and Japan's creator deity is a woman. Both are still worshipped as gods to this day. Those facts fall on deaf ears, coz that's what these fucking trannies do. They ignore facts just so they can constantly whine about how shitty Japan is. For not allowing Samus to be 'trans' coz she's allegedly obviously trans, ayy lmao. Americans are such feckless morons that they just go along with it. Anyone who says otherwise is just as stupid & backwards as the Japanese. I can't believe people can say that shit about the Japanese, and not get banned. Yet when I speak in defense of Japanese, I'm the one who gets banned coz I dare to claim that trannies are just a trend.

What's funny is how Streets of Rage 4 easily sold over 2 million copies without even trying. (Unlike Nintendo products, SOR community isn't infested with trannies chasing everyone away from the game, lol. Trannies chased me away from Xenoblade to the point that I don't give a shit about that series anymore.)
People love the SOR universe about as much as they love the Street Fighter universe but Sega will never get a fucking clue! If they were smart, they'd combine SOR & Yakuza's universes together. Sega is not smart though, the stupid Sega that we know of from today, is the same exact Sega of Japan from the 90s, that Hiroshi Yamauchi labeled as a bunch of smalltime retards. He was right.

I'm at the point where I'd much rather that Capcom obtain the rights to SOR and combine their universe with Street Fighter's, which already has Final Fight, Saturday Night Slam Masters, Rival Schools, & Strider as part of the same setting. I wish Dark Stalkers & Star Gladiator were part of that universe too but Darkstalkers universe characters are so overpowered that Morrigan alone would kill off the entire Street Fighter universe with just her pinky. Strider Hiryu would prob be the only one that would take her about a minute to kill.
Thinking about it, they should start adding Darkstalkers character as Devil May Cry boss fights. Dimitri is Endgame level potential and Morrigan & Jedah are both postgame type of bosses, who would probably just be playing around with Dante rather than fight him seriously.

[Krizzx]

Classic mode is actually good? I didn't even bother with it. I thought it would be just be some throwawy extra shit like playing through Zangetsu. I didn't know David Hayter did his voice. Of course, I never use English dub, I wouldn't know one way or the other.

I put in MH Rise again and tried to unlock Akuma. I gave up after the third match I played where some shitty Japanese players died and ended the game 4 times. I figured the Japanese players would be the best. I was wrong. They lost every single game I was in.

I like Dracula ex on the PC engine because its fun and well designed. Great music and art direction. I'm not into shit that is difficult just for the sake of being difficult. Castlvenia 1 is still the hardest one I ever played. I had Chronicles on the PS1. It didn't give me too much trouble. Lament of Innocence on the PS2 was all really difficult, but then it wasn't the most fun to play, so it didn't matter.



Apparently Haunted Castle(the actual second game made before CV2) was hard as shit as well. Its also where a lot of the most popular Castlevania themes originated, like Cross Your Heart, Bloody Tears, Devil's Requiem, and Don't Wait Until Night(which was renamed to heart of fire in the later version even though Heart of fire was already used for another song from Castlevania 1)
