Does the pose you do by holding up have any gameplay effects, or is it just to look cool? Never tried it next to an enemy, maybe it's a taunt?

Just played for a couple of hours. It's so good I can't wait to go back to it later in the evening.

Just dropping by to say I'm really enjoying it. Really scratches that Igavania itch.

I tried a few previous saves and they all have this chest issue, so I guess that's the end of the line for me. There's no way I'm restarting right now, especially if I can't be sure it won't happen again. It was fun while it lasted.

Just started the beginning area but it seems to get a solid 60fps on my "potato pc" i5 4670 and gtx 970 at 1440p

Controls wonderfully so far too.

As soon as I progress I find chests I didn't open are now open while simultaneously having some, but not all previous chests close. I can reget a lot of gear like the Crow Mask I don't need, but have eternally fucked myself for all chests from now on I guess. This is pretty dreadful.

Loving this so far. Character animations during dialogue and cutscenes are s little rough but everything else feels so good.

Wondered if there would be anything like crissaegrim in the game when I started...and there is! Called the Rhava Bural. Don't know how long it will last before an upgrade but its going to be fun being a walking blender for a bit lol

Games great, but it has hard crashed twice now because I read a book. It's getting really annoying since I lost some good progress both times.

Is there anyone who activated the patch in the middle of a game and did NOT have issues with chests?

The room OD is in is a direct reference to another castlevania game right? The set up with the little pit he is sitting ontop of is super familiar.

Bought the game today, I always felt bad about not backing it back in 2015. So far it's really solid and fun to play. Hopefully I can get some more time into it soon.

Ok am I screwed with future chests? Almost all my previous chests are closed again except for the blue ones.

Am I ok? Should I start over? I'm 5 hours in so better now than later.

Does the PC already have the patch applied that is causing the chest issue? I was enjoying it, but it sounds like I might be better off waiting a bit before continuing.

Anyone having problems playing with a controller on Steam?

My Dual Shock 4 is not being detected but working fine on Monster Hunter World.
Steam -> Settings -> Controller -> General Controller Settings -> Check box for PlayStation Configuration Support.

DS4 support isn't natively supported by the game but Steam can fix that for you. Alternatively, you can download DS4Windows to use as a controller interface instead.

Yeah I'm just dinking around at the very beginning of the game for now, and putting it on hold until this chest thing is sorted out. I don't even have the day 1 patch yet (Xbox One). Great game though, from what I've played!

I think it does. I think only ps4 had this problem. Steam apparently had the cheat codes and Speed Run at release whereas ps4 just got them in the patch.

And i think the problem only comes from playing before and after the patch.

I'm waiting on the Switch release next week, but first impressions from everyone has me incredibly excited! I backed this on Kickstarter, and after MM9 as well as mixed reviews from demo builds over the past couple years, I am ecstatic to hear that this seems to have turned out great!

Having a great experience so far, I just want to someone to create a mod to replace the fonts, this game's typography is really weak.

I'd really like to know if this chests and hidden upgrades thing w/ 1.02 is just with existing saves or with new games as well.

Really enjoying this so far, it's like IGA never left. So much neat stuff in here that none of the "Metroidvania" games since OOE have really included or nailed when they tried.

How long until the first "hollow knight was a better kickstarted metroidvania" hot take thread?
Hollow Knight is godlike so even if Bloodstained ends up not being as good that doesn't say anything bad about it.

They do different things anyway.

I'm not following what you guys are talking about. Sorry.

Just beat the first boss:
Samurai dude
.

Was actually a bit frustrating since I felt like there were a bunch of invisible walls at really weird times, and odd hitboxes. Not to mention my weapon was doing pretty low damage for the fight overall. Feeling a bit better after beating it, but took me out of the experience a bit.

Does anyone know, will the
crystal stuff
actually have a gameplay ramification later on?

First impressions after around 3.5 hours. Just finished the
twin dragon boss

It definitely scratches that metroidvania itch. Aside from some very minor nitpicks (clipping issues, a room didn't render correctly once, dialogue spelling/grammar errors), I love it. Glad I backed the game way back when.
The fairy familiar easter eggs are great too. Decent singing voice, lol. Also cute when she hangs out on Miriam's shoulder when she sits down. The fairy doesn't do much of any damage, but she points out hidden secrets like breakable walls and also heals you when your health is low if you have the right items.
