Anybody else getting some weird slowdown on Xbox? I'm on an X, and sometimes when killing an enemy or when bats fly down I get a slight frame drop/hitch. Really annoying considering the X should handle this game fine.

Any word on the engine /tools used?

Seeing the Iga DLC on Steam still feels kind of surreal. More than the game itself, it was that boss fight that I looked forward to all these years. CAN'T WAIT to fight Iga, holy shit.

I'm using the
tome familiar
and the game hitches a lot. Yesterday's patch applied.

I noticed a post on Facebook regarding the fact that the Iga's Backpack DLC isn't yet available and that entering your code will make it available when the DLC is released. Is there a separate code for this DLC that I'm just missing? I backed at the $60 level. I do have my Xbox One code for the base game, but I didn't see another code for the DLC (if applicable).

Yeah, definitely. If something doesn't show up by EOD, then we would probably pull the trigger. It's not a high priority for us—no shade meant there, it's just that our staff isn't running at full steam post-E3–or else I would have just downloaded it this morning on my own.

Understandable. Gamer Christmas is a exhausting holiday. I look forward to seeing what you think of the game!

I'm in no rush for the extra goodies. I'm a little annoyed that I didn't know what the Backer ID stuff meant when I launched. I hope I didn't lock myself out of that stuff.

Game plays great which is the important thing. I'm looking forward to really diving in soon.

This Underground Cavern area is really reminding me of Aria of Sorrow, right down to the music. It even has a giant waterfall room!

I'm near the beginning, so this doesn't bode well. Not game breaking, but I'm already regretting not buying this on PC.

Also slight graphical spoiler, I just got to the Garden of Silence and...

is the moon supposed to be in front of the castle?? There's a red bridge where you can see the castle in the background and the big red moon between you and said castle. Unless there's some story reason for this, it looks bad and amateurish. The kind of thing you see in a cheap steam game. Ugh.

Otherwise really enjoying the game so far, it's a solid Castlevania game. Crafting seems cool, and enjoying the shard system even if I'm early. This is definitely making me want to revisit the DS-Era Vania games later on.

Holy cow, this snuck up on me! I had no idea it was releasing so soon. I'm really looking forward to playing it after seeing Jim Sterling's video, too.

Running really well on PC and both looks and plays great! Any of you backers might want to delete your old backer demo saves, the retail version lets you load them, but I'm guessing it isn't recommended to continue from them ;) Can't wait to see how this runs and feels on the Switch, once they release / begin mailing the backer rewards.

I'm starting to think it may be for story reasons because I went back to the same room later in the game and the moon is gone now. Unless my game is glitched.

Oh baby, I don't always agree with Jim Sterling, but I've almost never disagreed with him when it comes to the seemingly few games he ends up actually loving. Just a few more hours until I can play.

Does it run better than the demos? They were surprisingly taxing.

And can I delete the saves in-game, or do I need to do it from the saves folder?

how does the combat work in this game? Are there light/heavy attacks and combos? Juggling? As far as I can tell there are also skills. How many active akill slots?
Some videos I've seen concern me since I only see one attack animation being spammed constantly but maybe that's not representative.

Picking up my copy after work. My husband actually just texted me and was like "Make sure you go pick up the K-Mart Castlevania today because I really want to play it!"

I've been on a huge Metroidvania kick lately and I'm currently playing through Timespinner on the Switch so I got this on PS4 so we don't have to fight over a system, haha.

It's overpriced on purpose, I think, because this is content that was originally backer exclusive, but after asking the community, they made it available to everyone. But since you needed to back for at least $60 to receive this content, people would probably not like seeing it made available for free.

I personally wouldn't mind, but I understand the decision.

I don't know if my PC is running this game well or not. Menus and conversations all run flawless but is the actual movement ingame that seems to be off. Like...not completely smooth. Don't know if it is normal or not.

I'm in no rush for the "goodies" either, the 250 I spent before. What I'm disappointed about, is everyone playing already, and I backed the first week and still don't have my PS4 digital code, or Physical Switch which I know was delayed a week. =/
