This is one of the worst character designs I've ever seen.
The tattoos are fucking stupid, seems like it was done by a 12 y/o
>>342247668
DEMO WHEN
I don't know, she is pretty cute.
The 3D really doesnt go with the castlevania gameplay
Its probably gonna hurt sales big time
>>342247668
Inafune pls go
She looks fine
>>342247819
They aren't tattoos, she's got a disease that's slowly turning her body into stained glass.
It's really bland compared to Ayami Kojima's character design, that's for sure. Modern anime was a mistake.
>everyone says they're tattoos
You guys know nothing about the game. She's cursed to turn into stained glass and that's why she's on her quest to break the curse by defeating who did it to her. Very Castlevania-esque if you ask me. The E3 demo looked great.
>>342247819
I would agree with you, but they are the reason she has her powers, so it plot protected.
>>342247920
Hava you even seeing the game? it feels like they finally doing it right, the environment is top tier, animations resemble the 2D sprite extremely well, it has a huge future. Is nothing like the 3DS piece of shit or the PSP crappy game.

all i can ever compare this to now is mighty number 9 abominations meaning this is like god's gift of art to the world.
OP needs to stop being a fag. It is bad for his health.
This is one of the best character designs I've ever seen.
IGA has god tier taste.
>>342247668
How short is Miriam?
>>342247668
She looks perfectly fine.
Bloodstained is going to have a hell of time with Might No 9 getting poor reviews. Hopefully IGA will have to put up with Deep Sliver and their sloppy marketing.
>>342247668
What's it like having never seen anything before?
>>342248504
I can't imagine this game would be negatively impacted by MN9's shit reviews. If it's good, it's good and people will find out.
>>342248530
That's one of the most stupid things I've ever seen
Please, Iga. Demo.
>>342248504
Nah, everyone will forget about MN9 by the time Bloodstained comes out, in 2018 ;_;
>yfw you didn't back this shit.
POST THE PIZZA CUTTER
>>342248530
What the hell is this from?
>>342248913
>>342247668
don't bother waifufags will eat up anything, even big smelly shit like that
>>342247668
I only have a problem with the horns, I'm ok with the rest. I'd still prefer if Ayami Kojima worked on the game but this will have to do.
Post yfw she has a penis
>>342248913
But I am eagerly awaiting the demo, and it looks like it both controls and feels like Castlevania. And the word from people who have played the demo seems to line up with that.
It's making me pretty excited to be honest.
I'll admit I haven't backed the game though. But I'll likely buy it at release unless they eventually fuck it up immensely.
>>342247668
If that really is one of the worst then I don't think you've seen many characters
>>342248530
>its high noon
>>342249307
Just wait until they hire a feminist as their community manager.
LITERAL TITTY MONSTER BOSS WITH ADDED TENTACLES
>>342248350
7'3", if we are lucky.
>>342247668
Majority of the design looks nice, it's just that weird pad armor thing on the right side of her chest, and the huge plates on the lower half of the boots that look like odd.
>>342247668
Looks gorgeous to me. Aquire taste, you fucking heathen.
>>342248530
That is brilliant
>>342248504
>Bloodstained is going to have a hell of time with Might No 9 getting poor reviews
Not sure what you mean. They are two different games.
>>342248913
>>342247668
no you haven't. stop being so dramatic
If that's actually the case, you can't imagine how I envy OP.
>>342249603
I like monster girls, I like giantess, I like massive titties. I like this.
>>342247668
>>342248530
If you don't like this, you are scum.
>>342248530
so stupid that I love it
>>342249818
She has tentacles too. Can't wait for porn of her with Miriam.
>>342248530
This reminds me of Deputymon and I fucking love it.
>>342247668
Her design grew on me. I like it.
She looks great. Shanoa looked better, though.
Want bad character designs? Try Castlevania: Judgement... and those were official Castlevania character designs.
>>342248530
I rather like it, myself.
>>342250172
I just want more of this. Between these, Wild, and that upcoming Disney movie about the giant loli, I'm getting more giantess stuff than I could have dreamed of.
>>342247668
What's the matter? Bored waiting for your Blunder no.9 key to arrive?
>>342247668
Her tits seem to get bigger each time I see this game.
>>342250290
I wouldn't mind Shanoa's design in Judgement (aside from the fact that you can see her underwear through her clothes, what's the point of that?) if it was an original character. It was such a massive downgrade from her original design.
>>342250531
No back, no buy
I'm really not feeling the artstyle in Bloodstained.
It's just doesn't feel very dark and gothic; and that's a pretty important part of the Castlevania spirit to me.
>>342250348
same here. And I usually dislike the tattoo look.
>>342248530
>>342250626
Did you even play the games?
>>342250587
The really long black hair too. I'd fucking drown in her hair. I get that they probably couldn't do it because of technical limitations but cutting her hair really ruins it.
>>342250626
I think they're going for dark/gothic-esque, but more of a fantasy/magical approach this time... and I feel that's refreshing. I love CV and the style it's always had, but I'd rather see something a little brighter and fresher with Bloodstained.
>>342250687
Not tattoos.
>>342250374
BIG
FAT
FISH
TATS
>>342248530
Fuck, this is stupid
>>342250482
Bigger, you say? I think they are not.
>>342248913
>>342247668
i backed this and i'm looking forward to it so no regrets yet but i really do not like the presentation
i think 2.5d in general is horrendous. The colour saturation is way over the top, and dear god the lighting is SO bad.
As far as the character design goes, it feels like it's made by an insecure artist who had to add lots of details to fill blank space. The highlights look bad, the horn things look bad, the random sweepy blue things look bad, the 6 belts on either side of the coat and the wierd scarf looks bad.
I'm not going to shit on the game because im way more into monster designs and gameplay but this is a concern.
She's literally bad shanoa. Shanoa is an example of character design done perfectly.
>>342247668
>no real pantsu
CHIKEN CUNT0
GOT KEKED BY SJW
>>342250945
I don't get why people have a problem with multi-belt syndrome. I've always liked it.
But yeah, she's basically "not as good Shanoa." I actually like how the game looks, though. I think the environments are gorgeous and kind of like how they did the 2.5D. I'm normally not into 2.5D, but it looks more like cell shading than just blatant 3D models thrown in, so I feel like it blends better.
I'd still prefer traditional 2D, though.
>>342247668
It would be better if it wasn't so asynchronous: Either add the 2nd collar-flap thing and make it uniform or remove it. There's no practical or marketable reason to have only one chest flap.
>>342250824
splitting hairs. Actually the fact it's some kind of curse related to stainglass windows is why I'm okay with them
>>342250945
>it feels like it's made by an insecure artist who had to add lots of details to fill blank space.
Yeah this is what's bothering me. Rose tattoos all over the place with runes on top, horn earrings, noobish asymmetrical clothes, it's just a clusterfuck of trying too hard to make it memorable
>>342248054
And yet it doesn't look anything like glass.
>>342251470
Again, they aren't tattoos
>>342248054
>>342248152
>>342248256
See, this is Nintendo Think.
>OH, IT'S SOMETHING NEW, THEREFORE IT IS AUTOMATICALLY BOTH JUSTIFIED AND GOOD
That's not the thought process behind beloved content. Successful, rational content creators sound like this:
>Hm, I have this crazy idea about a person being cursed to become stained glass. Does that appeal at all? How can I make it look both sensible AND aesthetically pleasing? Maybe I should get some brainstorming and reactions...
Mark my words, screencap this if you want - just as I called how Mighty No. 9 failed from Beck's awful design and haphazard, uncoordinated development process, Bloodstained will also fail to deliver what its backers wanted and the gameplay will be very average, leaving the game to be utterly forgotten within a month.
>>342251017
Are you hating on bloomers again?
Fuck you. Bloomers are great!
>>342251560
can't disagree
>>342251560
It doesn't really matter, it's a good enough way of describing that shit plastered all over her
>>342248913
>>342248256
That gameplay looks extremely lethargic to me, anonymous. And I'm not even gonna talk about that music.
Rusty Hearts was more satisfying than this.
>still being excited for this after Mighty No. 2
>>342251658
Fuck off.
Nothing really good about it.
When you make a character with such short skirt, normal pantsu peeking up in some very rare cases of animations if a fucking golden rule. it is like he is not a jap.
>>342251415
>>342247668
IDK pham i think it's pretty good.
it's the stupid anime cute poses that i think are ruining this game. I want it to be more gothic feeling. This shit is turning more and more into a portrait of ruin, dawn of sorrow in terms of art style. not diggin it. but the costume is nice. just wish the character held herself differently.
>>342251239
traidtional 2D would be much better
sprites would be perfect but im having to accept we wont ever see great sprite work again.
the belts are annoying because they serve no purpose and just look out of place. its basically an insecurity many artists have where they think things look too simple so they throw in detail without thinking about why
>>342251415
another thing that makes me think it's an insecure artist too. it seems like its a move to break things up which they think is a good idea since symmetry at an entry level is seen as a bad thing. Art teachers at low level try to train you out of symmetry since too many people rely on it but then really great artists understand its places.
>>342247668

This is some of the worst I've seen.

And yet instead, with every odd step Miriam takes we see her delicious bloomers from underneath her skirt.
Bloomers are truly amazing.
>>342250626
What bothers me is Miriam's design. The miniskirt looks really out of place
>>342251778
you know nothing about gothic lolita do you?
>>342251783
color palette preference aside, that's a way better and more balanced design
Looks pretty good, actually.
This is the art direction. This is what I am expecting to see in the castle.
What was shown was the intro/tutorial stage.
>>342251959
what
>>342251783
this is better and i like the colours but again theres a lot of superfluous stuff.
those silly belts again. they clearly dont serve a purpose as the lace in the middle is holding things together. The crown and earings look dumb, the wierd bicep rings are very odd indeed and the crossed hair thing looks childish honestly.
im not being your typical /v/ hates everything poster as i backed this and i'm really looking forward to it but from an art direction i have serious concerns
>>342251754
>I don't like things you can't make me have fun.

>>342251575
>leaving the game to be utterly forgotten within a month
Why do I always see stupid statements like this on /v/ being repeated all the time?
There is absolutely no way of the game being forgotten no matter how terribly it bombs. Just like people won't forget Mighty Number 9 either.
I don't know why so many acts like people just forget about everything all the time.
>>342252842
DELETE THIS!
It's the hairstyle, she looks like she has a small head
I don't get all the hate for this game all sudden, it wasn't like this a month ago
Demo came out but it isn't slower neither uglier
and plays exacly like castlevania, I don't get where the problem lies, someone explain
>>342250348
her desing is fucking great, it goes better yet with the scarf
>>342253040
Month ago we did not have bland gameplay demo trailer
people were full of expectations
they weren't really met and "but muh alpha" is not an excuse
>>342252842
It's true that he wasn't the director. He was however the assistant director. As well as a programmer for the game.
And here is a big one, he was the writer for the game. He characterized the characters and wrote the story and narrative.
>>342253040
this happenend
>>342253229
>bland gameplay demo trailer
But it looks like it plays almost exactly "Metroidvania" Castlevania games as was the pitch.
Being disappointed in the visuals is a matter of taste. But being disappointed in how the game plays? What else were you ever expecting?
>>342253040
People are hungry for another mm9 shitstorm so they are trying to force one out of nothing.
Bloodstained is looking exactly as expected
>>342253229
>we got footage video weeks ago
>they even asked us how we wanted the model and background

I don't see how "people were full of expectations"
are they retarded ? everything was there
>>342253592
>But it looks like it plays almost exactly "Metroidvania" Castlevania games as was the pitch.
No it doesn't?
It does not make it so just because you say so.
>Being disappointed in the visuals is a matter of taste.
So is your understanding of "good metroidvania"
>What else were you ever expecting?
What else I've expected from someone who used SoTN as a primary example of what he is aiming at with his project?
Something of equal quality and not just buzzwords to claim attention.
>>342251959
you sound like a faggot that can't deal with Maria in Rondo of Blood.
>>342253040
Shitposting in Mighty no.9 got old because there is nothing to argue about anymore.
>>342252910
On /v/, a game that doesn't have 15 threads on the front page at all times is considered "forgotten." But if it does, it's considered a meme game for casuals.
Maybe that's why more and more people just don't talk about video games on /v/ anymore.
>>342253840
son you gave zero arguments and tons of opinions
try harder next time
>>342253005
I will not hear anything bad about the hairstyle. I think it's the best part about her. Actually the only thing I hate is the long scarf, that's just lazy design at this point.

If you played DoS, AoS, SotN, OoE, or even just about the other Metroidvania instalments. This was how they played.
I have DoS in my hands right now and it looks incredibly similar. And the people who have actually played it claims that it is too.
On what claims do you argue that it does not?

I did, I was following every single tidbit of information sicne day0 (because I'm hardcore fan of SoTN and this is one of my most favorite games of all time).
It looks like a generic metroidvania-clone platformer
With pretty uninspiring design and style and quality overall.
>>342254782
Be that as it may. You aren't actually disagreeing with how it plays the same then? As in the actual gameplay.
The only claim I've done is that it really looks like it plays the same. I haven't even commented on any other aspect of the game.
>>342247668
It really isn't so bad. It has a kinda weak silhouette, but other than that it looks pretty acceptable.
>>342251470
And if the game industry is anything to go by with FF13 it'll work, sadly.
>>342254782
Congratulations, you just described every Igavania game after Symphony of the Night.
>WAAAAAH IT LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER GENERIC METROIDVANIA
That's what Iga's games always were you fucking retard. It looks generic because he made the games that helped define the fucking genre.
>>342255194
Retard, by "another generic metroidvania" I meant shit like this:
http://store.steampowered.com/app/444720/
DS and VBA castlevanias weren't ones, stop being so desperate.
If the entire game is done in that style I will be okay with it, I always liked the 3D anime thing they did for the most recent Fire Emblem games.
>>342255389
You're fucking blind if you think this game is anywhere near comparable to your average indie "lolsoretro" piece of trash. It looks exactly like an Igavania game. If this starred an existing Castlevania character and had the Castlevania name attached with the exact same gameplay and graphics and was being released as a digital title, people would just be taking it as par for the course, because IT'S EXACTLY LIKE AN IGAVANIA GAME.
>>342254782
You still haven't actually made an argument for how or why the game supposedly doesn't play the same.
Do you feel like something is off with the movement?
Are the attacks wrong somehow?
Is there something bad about the cancels?
What's so different about it? It looks just like the DS games.
>>342247668
If you want bad character design look at any anime that have ever or will ever exist, i'm not joking. it's the truth. There is not a single good character design in any anime. Prove me wrong.
>>342247668
Consider yourself lucky then.
>>342255759
>It looks exactly like an Igavania game.
No it doesn't.
It looks generic.
When people make Kickstarter and go blabbing about "spiritual sucessor of SoTN" from a "creator of SoTN" (kek) I expect no less but something very simialr to SoTN in many aspects.
Scamstained is nowhere close.
>>342255725
Uh oh. You don't know what kind of hell you just unleashed on this thread.I agree with you
>>342255725
in fire emblem looks really nice,
Star ocean is uncanny valley,
Tales does it nice sometimes
its hard to get 2.5D right
>>342255912
Igavania games are generic because they defined the fucking genre you fucking autist. That would be like if Deer Force regrouped and made a spiritual successor to Super Metroid that looks and plays exactly like a sequel to Super Metroid and you complained because it looks too much like Metroid. This looks like exactly what someone would expect from another Castlevania game in this style and the fact that it isn't doing anything groundbreaking isn't a bad thing, it's exactly what people wanted.
>>342255841
He doesn't like the visuals. And thus he can't enjoy the gameplay.
He didn't get to play as Alucard with 2D sprite art so the game is garbage to him.
>>342247668

>>342256141

Every game was negatively impacted by TORtanic.
Everyone now expects another one.
Kickstarters always have people clamoring about how they want to to suck.
After MN9 going do they feel they can say the same for this.
It's that titanic sinking and hoping a speed boat does too comic all over again.
This whole thread is probably started by one of those people hoping it will fail.
I think the game looks pretty boring in general, even compared to the DS games. Hopefully it's decent.
But even if it isn't, we got quite a few IGAvanias anyway. I don't think we really needed another one.

>There's a REASON her design is bad, so it's ok.
I can't fathom that kind of thought, and I'm a huge Nintendo fag. I see that kind of thinking among all groups. Not just Nintendo fans.
Also, Bloodstained looks good so far. As much as I'm not a fan of Miriam's character design, the fact that the translation into 3D was so well crafted, and the gameplay already looks to be as tight as any Igavania, is very very promising. They have everything in place, the only thing to do now is build more levels, more enemies, more weapons, more content. If they continue this trend of the great craftsmanship they've already shown, then the game will come out great.

If we disregard that it's recorded on the show floor with a pretty terrible recording.
It's still a lot better though, without question.
The cleanest sound of the demo I've seen is probably >>342254589 though, but it's also the most quiet so I guess it doesn't really count for much.
We really need the backer demo to get a proper recording of the demo it seems.
Seeing Miriam being stabbed by those huge shards when attaining new shards, looks kind of painful. It looks neat, but still kind of painful.

Now I love Shovel Knight, I consider that game to be amazing. The Plague Knight expansion too. It truly felt like another instalment in a series than what one might expect from a mere expansion or update.
That said. My physical copy of the game feels kind of phony when it doesn't even include half the game. And is rapidly becoming more and more obsolete as even more and more of the game becomes digital only.
It looks lovely on the shelf though. Theamiibotoo.
But yeah. Bloodstained can go digital only at first and go physical when the game is fully complete. It's really anti-climactic to insert a disc into your console and then have to download half the game or more off of the internet.

Miriam is super cute! And admirable to boot!
I wish her happiness.
>>342247668
Weebs are probably used to liking shit further-cluttered than this, and Castlevania designs aren't too far off either.
If you want horrendous design, go look at half of Battleborn's cast.
>>342247668
Her design is great. You want bad character design go look at everyone from Castlevania Judgment, or Tidus from FFX, or most recent Tales of protagonists.
>>342249603
I dropped $60 for the slacker backer option the MOMENT I saw this. Can't wait for the demo to come out.
>>342249603
I like the concept but the boss looks low poly/low detail for how large it is. It looks like an upscaled Dreamcast model.
>>342247668
more uninspired than bad for me.
>>342255912
>it looks generic
>look up generic in dictionary
>"pertinent to a genre"
>game aims to be like the other castlevania games in the metroidvania genre
okay, so you're complimenting the game
>>342255912
>generic
oh wow, so not being identified with a common established genre makes anything automatically good?
I bet you think DeviantArt is full of the next Da Vincis and Michelangelos then. every single piece of OC Donut Steel is perfect by your logic.
>>342248530
>Implying this isn't fucking amazing
>>342247668
That's nowhere even remotely close to the worst design ever. You need to play more video games.
>>342247668
I love it.
>>342250945
Shanoa was a boring character with a stolen design. She has the single most overrated design in Castlevania history. You waifufags need to off yourselves.
>>342257483
Trine 2 looked like shit. The obnoxious bloom everywhere ruined it. Doesn't help that it was a bad game anyways.
>>342267986
I know you do.
Why are people saying it looks slow? Her movement and attack speed are nearly identical to SotN and the other Metroidvanias. Movement was always on the slower side in these games. My only issue is the level design/room layouts, but odds are the area was quickly thrown together so that they had a demo for E3 and it will be heavily revised later.
>>342266283
In my opinion, there should be a third choice, like in one of the posts in that thread saying that there should be a choice for those that backed for a physical copy. A choice of having a "Launch Version", or a "Complete" version.
>>342247668
then you havent seen many

>In my opinion, there should be a third choice, like in one of the posts in that thread saying that there should be a choice for those that backed for a physical copy. A choice of having a "Launch Version", or a "Complete" version.
I am not saying that you're opinion is bad or anything. And one could probably make an argument for justifying it.
Just know that making two different physical versions of each version and splitting up the production and shipment of the "Launch" and "Complete" versions, would make the whole ordeal incredibly more expensive. So I'd highly doubt they nor anyone else really for that matter, would do it like that.
If that's the case then everyone would likely just get a "launch" version. Or a "complete" version if there is notable demand for it over a plain launch version.
Bleeding money like that just to produce and ship out the game twice, is kind of ridiculous.
>>342248913
I've backed a total of four projects in my life.
One is this.
The other three were Pillars of Eternity, Torment: ToN andLWA2.
How awful am I?
>>342262825
>Never watched Jojo
>Watched
>Not read
Secondaries are real.
>>342270336
I am more of an advocate of primary campaign first, rest of the goodies later once it is complete and bug-free
>>342269102
I wouldn't be surprised if these people's previous "experiences" with castlevania and metroid weren't based on watching speedruns on youtube.
I once mentioned SotN to a friend and he smugly said to me "oh, that one where you're backdashing all the time?"
i need to have hands on gameplay to see how it feels.
needs to be snappy, satisfying, rapid.
>>342271256
People who played it on E3 mentioned that although the 2.5 threw them off, the controls are what you would expect from a Metroidvania.
>>342247668
I don't even want to fuck her...no, I want to BREED HER, to MATE WITH HER FOR ALL ETERNITYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.
>>342272021
fuck off, Isaac
you creep
>>342272427
The music for this game was amazing. Made the grinding for Innocent Devils quite agreeable.
I also kind of liked when Isaac learned a new demon summon. So cool.
>>342270758
that was a specific reference to the end of episode tag in anime you faggot, someone who only read jojo and never watched the anime wouldn't get it
>>342266283
That royally fucks over physical backers. Both versions should be released at the same time, period. There's no reason one type of backer should get the game months in advance of the other. Personally I'd rather they only release the game when everything is ready, even if it pushes the release to 2018. I want the game to be good, and I want it to be complete. Not rushed to meet the 2017 deadline.
>>342272949
The only thing holding it back was the level design. Same issue LoI had.
>>342273151
Don't the backers who pledged for the physical version also get a digital version?
I was under the impression they got both.
If not them you'll probably get the typical 1.0 of the game like everyone else then. And just have to resort to downloading the content patches as they come.
And unlike Shovel Knight that essentially has entire games as its expansions, it probably shouldn't take all that many patches for all the content to be added. The base game should pretty complete as is from the looks of things.
>>342247668
Honestly, That is fucking aces compared to this goddam thing.
>>342268271
Sorry your no name bitch sucks compared to Shanoa. I'm sure their game is great though, whatever it is.
>>342273982
there is literally nothing wrong with his design aside from this single strand of ridiculous hair
>>342273796
No you gave to pay like $15 extra for a digital copy (which is what I did). I would be affected either way, but I was just thinking from a physical-only backer's perspective. They paid their money and were made the same promises, so it doesn't seem fair to hold their copies hostage for months while digital backers get to play.
>clone of 20 year old platformer
fools and their money are soon departed
>>342273993
She's from Deception 2, which predated OoE by a decade. Shanoa is a blatant ripoff. And while OoE is my second favorite Metroidvania, Shanoa wasn't anything special. She was a bland, boring character.
>>342253610
But we still have Star Citizen to shitpost
>>342275209
>pick any game from any genre at all, even the most recent self-indulgent modern walking simulators
>oh hey look, there's also a game from decades ago that played similar to this

>>342250374

>>342249818What if NitroTitan/ModeSeven does some art of that?
>>342274362
Except literally fucking everything.
Literally.
>>342247668
miriam is CUTE
>>342275209
Well no shit, this is exactly what we wanted and payed for, so I hope it's a clone.
>>342276256
neither literally nor figuratively, anon.
having him wear just the jumpsuit and claiming "hey, he is made of Lego, his prosthetics just fit, it just works" would be actual bad design.
>>342249603
>tfw Big tits will be removed because sjw scum
>>342276673
They already denied all the people who screamed for Miriam's chest to be smaller. I think it'll be fine.
>>342276673
why would they?
Miriam also has plot-relevant fat tits due to her glass tattoo. People complained about her during the whole KS campaign and they simply ignored it all the way through.
>>342272427
Isaac was such a likeable homo.Time to diiiie!

it feels so weird how everything featuring Liam ends up being enjoyable for me, specially Asura's Wrath
>>342247668
I'd love it if it wasn't so cluttered
>>342260523
>Thinks the DS games are boring
Opinion discarded.
>>342250290
Shanoa has the best design out of all the female in Castlevania. This is a fact.
>>342281336
Yeah I like her. Can't wait to make heran elfthough.
>>342247668
Any thing from league of legends
even after they started hiring competent artists they can only do so much to save the awful designs
>>342247920
Yeah, Dracula X Chronicles sucked.
Shit, no it didn't!
>>342253229
Anyone who is mad at the demo didn't know what they were backing, apparently.
The core of a Metroidvania is exploration. That's what makes the castle interesting. Of course that wasn't going to be in the demo. Combat and platforms have always been fairly basic in the Metroid style CV games.
Do people seriously think this looks bad or are we still trying to find the blunder of the month
damage dealt and damage taken should have differently colored font
level up/skill get animation too long
doesn't really bother me that much but it bothers me to begin with
>>342284251
Looks like most of the complainers wanted 2D, backed the game knowing it would be 3D, and now they shit on it for not being 2D. It's like they're masochists or something.
>>342284519
>people looking for opportunities to complain
>on /v/
Probably.
>>342284519
Backers probably knew it was 3d six months ago.
>>342248062
She was too busy to get on board with the project as she had with previous Castlevania games.
IGA wanted to get Yamane and Kojima for the game, and he was only able to get Yamane. Kojima is only doing special edition artwork, and you can probably imagine it will be amazing.
>>342284794
We have known since October 2015.
People acting surprising is nothing short of hilarious.
>>342284794
It was said it wasn't going to be 2D and that it was going to be 3D, ever since the kickstarter page first went up. And it was repeated on multiple occasions.
>>342285481
>tfw hundreds and thousands of great artistic documents throughout gaming history won't be released and will be lost forever
>>342286278
It is better that way.
I once got a look at the concept art for Fallout 3. The armors looked unique and interesting. Raiders actually looked menacing. Bits of tech and weapons were varied and what you would expect from a post apocalyptic world.
I am sure that IGA is choosing what he considers the best artistic choice for this game, as he did with his previous games.
>>342248913
But I did.
