Symphony of the Night is highly praised for a reason. The DS/GBA games aren't necessarily as polished as SotN, but they're easy to get your hands on and provide more of the Metroidvania action. Order of Ecclesia is the last one to get released and it's probably the closest to SotN in terms of gameplay.

I agree, but that's because I'm just not a fan of the 2.5d art style thats become popular. Pixel art generally takes more effort, and the 3D models mixed into SotN felt super neat.

Symphony of the Night, Aria of Sorrow, and Dawn of Sorrow are great Castlevanias to introduce you to how Bloodstained is going to play. As far as classic Castlevania goes 1,3, Rondo of Blood, and Bloodlines are the best ones to check out.

I'm still not convinced it will be good yet, but based purely on graphics it looks better than Mn9, but lets be honest its not fair to compare anything to that game.
>>
The demo was very underwhelming to be honest.
One year of development time for something anyone could throw together in Unity in a week is pretty disappointing.

I don't think it's a scam on the same level as Mambo No.9, but it's certainly not going to be anywhere near as good as the DS games.

Are you implying that anything about the core system will change at this point? They'll only add content and performance stability from now on.

That being said, I absolutely hate her highschool girl running animation, doesn't fit the mood in the slightest.

They nailed the turning animation, but the bitchy running with the palms angled up is just atrocious.

Oh well, something I'll have to get used to. It also happens to be the animation that's gonna be looped the most in the game by far. Unlucky me.

I liked the demo, I'm glad I backed it. Could be better (specially 2D), but I'm happy with what we've got.

In the demo is there any way to get a double jump or something? There are 2 rooms (outside before the boss, another in the bottom of the ship after getting the flare) were it looks like there's an area you'd be able to get to with a bit higher of a jump.

Also demo is pretty fun though:
-the turn speed is a little slow (she walks backwards for a bit before turning around which makes back dashing a bit frustrating)
-I would prefer if the run speed was a bit closer to rapidly back dashing
-probably going to be a grind getting/leveling the shards

If it's good, awesome! I have another great CV game to play and maybe even a successor series. If not, Oh well, my favorite series stays dead. I'm not gonna care about some $60 I spent years ago on a chance I could get something I liked.

So did Star Citizen, Tim Schafer, and Infaune fans. Let's not forget Shadowrun. Oh, Shadowrun. Fools and their money are easily parted. You're the reason why the world is going to shit. But at least we get to take as much money as we can from retards like you while the getting is still good. You might actually become aware in the future that maybe kickstarter is strangely screwing you after all.

what can I say, I enjoy the gameplay, I enjoy fighting the enemies, throwing spells at them, jump cancelling attacks to hit them 3x in a second, dodge their shit, and so on, same for the Souls series (just change spells for parrying and jump cancelling for a charged R2 hitting him right in the tip of the attack as he's charging at me)

I'm disappointed at the number of people playing these games for the music, visuals, plot and artwork (seriously, talking shit about DoS and PoR because of the shitty animu artwork is just ridiculous)

At least the guy will have some Japanese Shintoism going on.

斬月 — Zangetsu — 42 — Male

>Coming from a small country far away in the East, Zangetsu specializes in fighting demons. He makes his way to England when the demons first show up 10 years before the main story of Bloodstained begins.

>He uses a dual katana fighting style along with Japanese “ofuda” paper incantations to destroy his demonic foes.

>During his long battle to keep the demons at bay he loses his left eye and right arm. Using a special Ofuda spell he is able to animate a wooden prosthetic arm to nearly the same level of mobility as his original arm. The Ofuda that covers his missing left eye grants him the ability to see both auras of both the living and dead.

>He lost a great deal of friends during his 10 years of fighting, creating an absolute hatred for not only the creatures themselves but also the Alchemists that brought them to the Earth.

metroidvania originally came about as a term to describe SOTN and the DS castlevanias, because they were the castlevanias that were like metroid.

I also want a drop kick that would make Miriam bounce back for spacing. The wrestling Drop Kick kind. Maybe doable it by tapping twice or holding the attack button while in mid-air.

With an addendum to that that it's only really worth watching till the end of the Kyoto arc which I think ends around ep 65 or so? Then the series breaks away from the plots of the Manga and just becomes meh. Kenshin having problems fighting a European guy with a lance on horseback when he strike faster than the eye can see is one of the most fucking retarded things I've ever seen.
