Bloodstained: being a castlevania fan is a complex relationship

Because of you fucks I can’t help but read every instance of “shard” as shart.

Johannes: Was that a shard?!

Miriam: I’d… forgotten the way it felt… Like uninvited claws scraping across my bones…

wildest thing about this is it makes it seem like a PSP castlevania would’ve been pretty good

it definitely reminds me of the PSP Rondo visually (which was indeed pretty good if unnecessary)

yeah there’s a certain combination of “terrible latin fonts, objectively hideous 2.5D, doujin jumping physics” that just says PSP and this is one of the first times I’ve seen a game embrace that as intentional and have fun with it

i’ve been thinking about the aesthetic a lot and psp is the wrong call. this game actually screams xbox live arcade exclusive

should I play this on PC, switch, or PS4? are there any substantial differences between versions?

should i be relieved i don’t know what any of this shit is?

it’s just a bunch of headgear and weapons named after gaming youtubers

actually kickstarter is bad

once again game grumps ruining things i like

Man, seeing The Baz still making cameos is almost a bummer. Indivisible will probably also be a real downer considering he’ll be on a Shovel Knight-like level there.

I have the same allergic reaction to the youtubers content in this game, but honestly this stuff is fine as long as it can only be accessed by a secret code on the Internet and nobody could find them on their own

Good way to handle Rich Kickstarter Backer Garbage actually

i also took this screenshot, but i was goning to suggest that she’s doomguy’s ancestor and really really hating demons is a genetic trait

Today I played through Bloodstained Curse of the Moon, in anticipation to Ritual of the Night on switch coming in a few days

I was eager to experience The Canon

And I learned that… it’s Not Canon? This companion piece to Ritual of the night, and only other game in the Bloodstained series, is actually not canon?

The two games have the same characters, but the stories go wildly different ways. It wasn’t supposed to be this way at first but they couldn’t be bothered

Tbh I sort of admire this absolute disregard for canon

yeah when i fired up RotN i was expecting it to sort of pick up from CotM but, nope!

still debating whether or not i want to try to power my way through the game before the XBox patch drops next week.

is the game like 13 hours long? i bet i could do it…
