No reason, just surprised when one weapon has 300 attack and the other has 60, even if it is slower

You can check this link and compare.
Sure, here it is:
EDIT: think I just found it, woot!
edit: haaaaaa dammit... xD
too slow
Congrats on finding it !
It's Waldo all over again when you try to help people on finding bits of maps missing ;)
I'm about at 35% on the map, and I'm finding the game... boring? It's just, easy.
Every enemy is easy. I just spam my attack and DPS them every time, I never need to learn enemy movement patterns or anything, same is true for bosses. Bring a bunch of potions and stand close and just DPS /heal until you win. This game feels like it has no resistance at all. So that just leaves exploring, which I am enjoying!
But the combat is a major letdown coming from other good games like Dead Cells, Hollow Knight, and Guacamelee.
Maybe I'm just misremembering, are all Igavania games like this? I know Classic Castlevania is definitely not a DPS attack spam type of game, you'll get killed so fast I'd you just stand there and hammer attack.

Yeah only Order Of Ecclesia had much in the way of difficulty. You eventually reach a point where you're OP and the game is more about completing the map/item list/bestiary.
You can try nightmare mode to see if you like that more. It's got the hard mode boss patterns and removes the ability to level up.
Symphony of the Night was exactly like this. You can kill even the final boss with spamming and healing.
I was skeptical too, but try it and see.
(It doesn't do a ton of damage, but it does it incredibly fast, so you can lay down tons of damage really quickly.)
100%ed the map. I think I'm going to wait for the Switch patch to start farming stuff to finish the sidequests as loading/unloading areas is something that'll probably trigger a hard crash eventually in the current build. Had two hard crashes trying to farm stuff and lost some progress that way.
Still have Boss Rush 2 to go through, so I'll probably do that tonight.

Well, yes and no. The map percentage is correct, you've only explored less than half the castle. However, there's not an inverted castle the way you think there is. There's only one castle, 100% map completion in the game. By my recollection, you haven't seen... eight areas I think?
Point being, it's not really an ending that you got. There's a reason it's a game over and not roll credits.
I tried it, it's hard to tell how many times it hits in a single hit, do you know how many?
I'm wondering if the multiple hits all together do more dmg than eternal blues 1 hit but it's hard to tell
I don't, someone else might. To be honest, once I got it I spent most of the rest of the game just spamming it against bosses and watching a stream of numbers fly off them, and then healing whenever I got low on health.
... You have to finish the game on Normal first before you can do anything else, right?
There's a code linked in either the OP or the Threadmarks that bypasses this limitation.
Yea this is why I played on hard instead of normal, but even then the combat isn't as good as hollow knight but there still has been some challenge esp early on, I'm still enjoying it a lot
What is supposed to be on the switch patch?? I am holding out on buying this on anything but switch but it all depends on what people think of it.
Ah snap I didn't know that! I started playing on day one.
performance improvements I hope. I don't mind the frame rate and image quality drop (it's actually more reminiscent of SOTN oddly enough) but the input delay is bad after having played the PS4 version. If you have the option and are OK with losing portability I'd recommend the PC version. If Switch is the only choice then I'd wait for word of mouth on it. If you're good with the visual fidelity drop and haven't played it on anything else yet it's fine. My wife didn't notice the input delay and she only played the Switch version.
The first addresses crashes, HDRumble, the chest bug, the slow loading between areas linked up-down (problematic when you miss a jump), the input lag and includes a first set of optimizations as well as the common fixes like map manipulation and the like.
I think performance increase will not be major, they didn't have much time on that one, deeper performance increases will come at a later time, when they have more support from EPIC/nintendo (i feel like they are working alone on the optimization side on switch, i may be wrong though i have no inside information).
Nah, this map is much better because you can just look at the 20 orange squares instead of having to look at everything.
Anyone wanted an opportunity to give the Bloodstained team more money? Here's your chance!
Options for those of us that can't view it? I'm curious.
I don't think I'd throw more money at the game for cosmetics. Their current offerings plus the hair stylist really hits all the things I'd want. The new characters' modes will hold me over gameplay wise. Honestly I'm not sure what they could offer that would have me open my wallet again until a sequel.
Thanks for the info... i did not receive a mail update but it's on the kickstarter updates ;p
Did my part, sorry in advance *cough cough*

Looking through that list nothing really jumps out at me. Maybe the Sci-Fi outfit just for the contrast in styles?
I've honestly been waiting in hopes they would patch things and even up the combat. Way too many things are broken, and do in 2019 I don't think it needs to be this way. They have the Switch I guess using all their time atm. Still hoping for a major balance patch.
IGA boss fight if you were a backer, maybe the optional bosses (behind the keyed doors) if you have not done them already.
If you haven't played on hard, then hard/nightmare NG+ has more boss patterns iirc, but there's nothing locked behind harder difficulties or NG+, so no new story bits or lore expansion.
It's not a service game, so all there is after is wait for the 2 "new" playable characters which will surely bring story extension and the classic castlevania more with the games destroyed and remade as classic linear levels.
(There are boss rushes and speedrun modes as well form the main menu)

Just got the platinum on this, overall I thought this was a great game, I even had fun grinding out the last trophies. I might do new game + at some point after taking a little break.
Some things that I thought were a little weird...
Some things that I thought were a little weird...
It seemed like the very first area had a lot of game mechanics that were never used again in the rest of the game, so I thought that was kinda a weird way to start the game. Using your fireball to light the fuse on a cannon, pushing boxes to jump to new areas. It made me think there would be a lot of puzzles like this but then it never happened again. It's probably for the best because I think I would've gotten tired of doing that kinda thing in the late game when I'm trying to zip around as fast as possible.
I also kinda wish there was more of a reason to explore different weapon types. Maybe I didn't give them enough of a chance, but I used the rhava bural/velar for like 98% of the game. Anytime I would switch to a different weapon type it just felt too cumbersome.

It hasn't been released on all consoles yet, but when it will, it'll be a $10 DLC.
So i l'm trying to wrap this up, but my item list is stuck on 99.83%?
Edit: Turns out i'm missing the last item on the Key Items tab. Can anyone tell me what that is? Final thing i need for the platinum.

I believe it's the discount card you can buy in the shop.
Yup! That was the one, thank you.
All done now, didn't expect to enjoy this so much but damn i really love this game. Kind of sad i'm all done.
So I finally finished dragon quest XI and started this game on sunday, last night I beat
and this has been one of those games that is exactly what I wanted. Enjoying it immensely
Alfred in the hidden desert
Trying to collect all the items. Do the weapons that require 16 and 32 bit coins count as new items? They have the same name when you purchased these weapons with 8 bit coins but the only difference is they are stronger in attack.
No, only the 8 bit versions count against item completion.
Jesus, was farming shards to 9/9 them all.
Went to enhance a ton and the game crashed. Maybe I'll wait a month until the switch patch hits. Luckily, I had saved recently but a future update needs to allow you to enhance a few times/9 times in one go. Like how they add up everything to craft 10 items? Yeah, let me just enhance all 9 times in one go instead of doing it 9 times.

But don't forget to
collect the Silver Bromide after defeating the dragons.
