Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night |OT| We Have Paid Our Tribute, Igavania Is Resurrected
- Thread starter Dancrane212
- Start date
This game has awakened something inside me...
I was never a fan of castlevania or metroid, or metroidvania before playing bloodstained and had never really played any of the previous games....
now I cant get enough....
I have just finished Castlevania Requiem on PS+ sale earlier and have already defeated and 200.6 percented the entire game inside and out..
Finishing Hollow knight should be a cinch.....
It wont.....

The materials required to enhance can change at each level so that wouldn't really work.
Some of the bosses are nearly unbeatable. The last boss for example has so much slowdown that I die just based on the game not accepting inputs. It's ugly.
Nah, just give you a list of 5 things. Or hell, just let you do 3 levels at a time.
But I'm salty I did a bunch and the game crashed as I was doing that.
The switch version is trash.
Same thing happened to me on the PS4 Pro. It's not just the Switch.
Simultaneously fuck this game and I love this game.
Fuck it and love it at the same damn time.
I refuse to believe this is anyone's GOTY, except for PC gamers.
Yeah, on the PS4 pro I'm deeply afraid of bookshelves as opposed to the switch version where I fear talking to Johannas.
Edit: this is my GotY by far, Switch, PS4, PC. I love it warts and all.
Voted on the lowest price for the DLCs, not because I don't think it's worth any more money, but because I think it'll make them more money in the long run.
$0.99 a piece will make me more likely to just buy the bundle with all of them. If they cost twice as much, though it still isn't exactly expensive, I'm not as likely to just choose 8 DLCs and ignore the other 8. I'm more likely to choose 1 or 2 I like the most and ignore the rest. Hell, I'm even more likely to just not get anything. I don't think I've ever spent money on those JRPGs with five billion cosmetic DLC, because I just look at how much money it costs to have everything and don't even bother looking at the packs.

Voted on the new survey, but it wouldn't let me vote for none of those cosmetic options as dlc. I already paid for it twice, and most of those options were pandering trash. I'm more interested in the stretch goal content being released than any of that stuff. I'm very happy with the game, but it feels a little tone deaf given the state of the switch release and how much content they need to catch up on before worrying about cosmetic cheesecake costumes and whether people will pay $.99 to $10 for them.
Does anyone know who to contact in regards to Kickstarter backer questions? Should i just contact Fangamer.com with a normal enquiery?
It's a top 5 for me this year so far. The technical problems are main thing keeping it from the number 1 spot tbh. I haven't been consumed by a game this much since Mario Maker 1.
I'm still planning a Nightmare run once I pick it up on PC. I was going to run it that way on Switch but as noted the technical issues kill the experience.
PS4 Pro player here. The game is definitely up there for me. 15 hours playing on my Pro and I have only experienced 1 crash, and one time the word "are" became invisible in one of the dialogues, but besides that it was a perfect experience.
I'm about 95% through the map and haven't beaten the game yet, but do you ever get a sprint or dash item or ability? I have the Speed Belt but is there something better?
Towards the end of the game.
in the Den of Behemoths. You can find an area where you challenge a Ninja to a race. Beat him (or cheat like I did, there are videos on YouTube on how to do it) and you will receive the Accelerator Shard
Guys, the final boss on switch is kicking my ass.
i just dont seem to have the health to get through the fight, and the fucking slowdown is killing me. Any tips? Is there a way to cheese one of the two phases? At this point i just want to be done the game.
Those were put on our pages 2 weeks ago. Check your Fangamer page.
It's either this or Outer Wilds for me. Though in fairness, this game runs like butter on my One X. I didn't notice any performance issues at all on my first game. On New Game+, after the patch, I had some slight slowness on the final boss, but that was pretty much it.
I didn't bother learning any of the patterns and just brought a bunch of healing items and food with me to beat it on my first try, although I doubt this would work in hard mode if you're playing on that.
The disks floating up and down in the final boss arena are platforms, you can use them to hit the boss as it moves overhead instead of trying to chase the heads as they move around.
Thank you. I see a code for Iga Backpack DLC for the switch, but no code of this for PS4 yet?
PS4 Iga DLC code hasn't been released yet but you asked for the theme which was already released.
I heard rumors the Switch version was getting patched this week...? Was this posted on Twitter or something?
It was a KS update that was posted in this thread two weeks ago. Check Threadmarks.
The game's been out a month. I think that's standard procedure?
Does anyone know if the IGA's Backpack DLC is out on consoles yet? It's all I've got left to do before starting a Nightmare run.
EDIT: nevermind. Got sucked into Mario Maker 2 and missed the memo.
Gotcha, just wanted to make sure mine wasn't missing. I've been out of the loop for a while, which is how I missed the Theme already being available.
Patch news (Switch status, nerfs and Xbox One 'Overlord' achievement)

I imagine this is more to make it so you can't just ram them with Accelerator without consequences.
That's an interesting point. If that's the goal that's a bummer since one of the cool bits about endgame is being able to get from any point A to any point B in a laughable amount of time. I wonder how the damage from accelerator is determined? Grade/Rank/Int/Str? Hopefully you'll still be able to get to a point where you can blast through them.
Thinking about it more, I'm not sure this was the reason after all. It shouldn't be an issue when you would naturally obtain Accelerator in an actual playthrough; the concern is strictly for NG+, and I'm not even sure if Accelerator is one of the shards you get to carry over.
You do carry over Accelerator, to my knowledge this is the first Igavania to let you carry the dash over to NG+
Nah I'm good.
I'm surprised guns dodged the nerf bat too now that I think about it. Fully upgraded with the Recycle Hat guns are insanely overpowered. If they're balancing things I'm hoping they can add things too like more whip techniques. The one you get is barely worth it and whips in general definitely got the shaft in weapon classes.
Nope. But no real improvements on switch, mostly crashes.
I'm almost done with my ng+ and I'll go back in a month to finish the shards 9/9 and items 100%.
Back to dragon's dogma.
What are the best conjure and directional shards? I'm using Welcome Company for conjure and Heretical Grinder for directional.
I'm at 99.50 map completion. No clue what I missed. I beat
and the other keyed off bosses. How do I fight Iga? I went back to
room but it's empty.
O.D.

Iga is a DLC fight. It's not released on PS4 yet, and doesn't count toward map completion.
