Alright nigs, convince me to buy Shanter: Pirate's Curse.Also, are Patty's games any good?
She better be jiggly in the final game
>>342912749
yeah, they're great
Just jumped into this series, havent finished the first one yet but look forward to the next two. I kind of wish I backed this.But hey I backed Shovel Knight at least
>>342912749
If you like "Metroidvania" style games you'll love it. The whole series is great but Pirate's Curse is by far the best (at least until HGH comes out)
Shantae reminds me of Wario Land in particular. Except you're a cute genie girl instead of a fat italian man.
It's incredibly fun, the soundtrack is amazing, the characters are charming as hell and the writing is extremely clever.
It's the best platformer I've played in years and you should give it a shot.
>>342912858
She's always jiggly. Why wouldn't she be?

>>342915514
I do, fucking Shantae games are mediocre, people just shill because half naked slut makes their dick hard.
I mean they're decent, but even rayman or any other psx platformer was better than this basic crap and had more interesting mechanics.

Eh, I didn't even finish Pirate's Curse since there's a bit too many collectables and didn't want to use the internet to find where all of the bat things are. Even the first one I didn't have much trouble with the fireflies, but this was obnoxious.
Also, THANK YOU WAYFORWARD FOR USING SPRITES

It's not that hard actually. I've only had to check for the last 2 heart pieces and that was because I was getting impatient.
You can find everything yourself if you go through the level with all the gear.
>>342933232
It's much easier to use sprites when you make a game for the 3DS. Making dotted sprite graphics for a full HD game on modern consoles is way too expensive.
>>342933232
Bloodstained had to allow for around SotN-tier explansive level design and enemy variety with a half-million dollar baseline for budget. I'm not surprised they decided to use 3D. The demo looked fine for the most part anyway.
I like Shantae, but it's nowhere near as complex as SotN.

>>342933439

Isn't it still called a sprite even if it's HD? This clearly isn't pixelated, but it's still a sprite.
>>342933482
I mean it COULD HAVE looked worse (like MN9 for example), but it's still not an excuse "well the base budget was this" when you get about 4.5-5.5 million from your fans and rounding it up to 10 million with the help of some jews
I mean how in the hell did they make the DS castlevanias and SoTN so beautiful when they were made on far smaller budgets, especially the DS ones.
And they still have a bunch of quirky jokes like how if you hold up for long enough Charlotte and Johnathan will do poses or when Charlotte gets up from a crouching position she'll cover her skirt. Not to mention all the enemies and other stuff in general.
If Way Forward can do such a game for 700k, you can do that on a bigger scale for 10million

I don't think you understand how development works. They had Inti and the rest of the staff organised in advance, and 3D was deemed the safest approach. Throwing X amount more money can't change that, you can't re-allocate all that time and organisation at the drop of a hat. Least of all in Japanese business. Sure, they could have dropped everything they'd had and restarted with a new and bigger development team, and that would have completely fucked over their image because loyalty in Japanese business is paramount. Even joining a different club in Japan is considered a massive faux pas and can get you permanently kicked out of both, never mind actual corporate relations.
>I mean how in the hell did they make the DS castlevanias and SoTN so beautiful when they were made on far smaller budgets, especially the DS ones.
Because they had the entirety of Castlevania's backlog of assets and materials on hand, plus anything else Konami had lying around. Bloodstained had to be built from the ground up whilst avoiding being too close to Castlevania so Konami can't sue. It's not that complicated.
>And they still have a bunch of quirky jokes like how if you hold up for long enough Charlotte and Johnathan will do poses or when Charlotte gets up from a crouching position she'll cover her skirt. Not to mention all the enemies and other stuff in general.
Miriam already has unique poses depending on weapons in the demo alone, I don't doubt for an instance that Iga would leave something like that out.
>>342934226
Mostly because Bloodstained has turned out great so far. Have you actually played the demo yet?

all i want is bigger areas that are less linear than pirate's curse, less tedious dancing with forms having actual attacks so that i dont just transform when i see a secret and never need it again, and to somehow keep the feeling of the good combat in pirate's curse

>I don't think you understand how development works. They had Inti and the rest of the staff organized in advance, and 3D was deemed the safest approach. Throwing X amount more money can't change that
Definitely feels like the wrong approach.
Shantae also is drawn from the ground up. I can maybe give you an excuse for using 3D environments, even some of the castlevanias did use 3D, but I can't excuse you for using 3D models for characters and enemies. And the whole 3D thing seems like a well hidden lie too.
They literally mention NOTHING about it being 3D until the FAQ section in which they even call it 2.5D, which it is not. 2.5D means sprites going forwards and backwards between layers, this is 3D from a 2D perspective
>Bloodstained had to be built from the ground up whilst avoiding being too close to Castlevania so Konami can't sue
There isn't a single 2D HD castlevania. The only thing I can think of is the 360 game, BUT THAT USED SPRITES TOO
Although there has been a 3D castlevania from a 2D perspective... you know the one

Well, tough, I guess. That's what the staff that they had was comfortable with doing for a project of this magnitude. Inti are clearly capable of producing decent 2D shit even to this day (demonstated by Gunvolt and its upcoming sequel), but those aren't games on the scale of SotN.
>They literally mention NOTHING about it being 3D until the FAQ section in which they even call it 2.5D, which it is not. 2.5D means sprites going forwards and backwards between layers, this is 3D from a 2D perspective
That's a very specific interpretation of 2.5D. And it's pretty obvious that isn't what they meant, going by DCX as a basis.
>There isn't a single 2D HD castlevania. The only thing I can think of is the 360 game, BUT THAT USED SPRITES TOO
I don't see your point. Bloodstained still has to distance itself from Castlevania to some degree, 2D HD or whatever else doesn't come into it.
>Although there has been a 3D castlevania from a 2D perspective... you know the one
Yeah, Dracula Chronicles X was pretty great.
I understand your gripes, but they are largely unreasonable and frankly incredibly petty. The game plays fantasticly so far, and that's what matters at this stage.

>Shantae also is drawn from the ground up.
Like I said, Shantae is nowhere near as complex as SotN, or even the more basic Igavanias. If Inti thought they could feasibly replicate something like SotN in the time available in the style of, say, Gunvolt, they would almost certainly have done it. But they didn't.

While it IS definitely harder since SotN is really nicely animated, they can definitely do it, it's just gonna take more time of which they definitely have. People are understanding that development takes time and generally accept it. Feels like wasted potential. I don't know if Bloodstained will have a sequel, but if it does, it should be 2D. But it won't probably.

>While it IS definitely harder since SotN is really nicely animated, they can definitely do it, it's just gonna take more time of which they definitely have. People are understanding that development takes time and generally accept it. Feels like wasted potential.
They have a 2 year development cycle. The handheld Igavanias could only be pumped out as frequently as they were because they recycled almost everything from Rondo, SotN and each other. Possibly Bloodlines too, I can't remember.
At the end of the day, I think your priorities are skewed. The game should play well before looking good, and it does. They can improve the looks, but even if they don't it still looks good already.
>I don't know if Bloodstained will have a sequel, but if it does, it should be 2D. But it won't probably.

MSF2 is the same as the 3DS version.
MSFHD is a port of the Wii U remake of the original and has twice as much content as the 3DS version.
MSF: Hose it Down is a mobile game port.
MSF: Academy is essentially MSF1.5 with a gimmick no one will ever use. They patched in a bunch of costumes the other day, oddly enough.

Japan is alright.
I heard some people are disappointed they went with hand drawn instead of the pixel art?
