BLOODSTAINED: RITUAL OF THE NIGHT aka the Spiritual successor of Symphony of the Night

I am surprised that Yahtzee didn’t left the escapist like everyone else.
I stop visiting their site as they were starting to self destruct from fucking over all their contributors.

Thai is one of those games I don’t really even have to think about ponying up for the dlc. Do they say when the backpack dlc will hit PS4 & Xbox?

I don’t think they have said any dates for those consoles yet.

Meanwhile, I tried IGA one and got owned quite hard.

Rank 9 hellhounds + Standstill.

Or Rank 9 chisel machine gun funk.

You must bring hell to the man himself!

Nothing weird happens if you go fight Alfred after he

Summary

Dies from going into the big enemy section of the game. As a matter of fact, if you skip fobidden lab and desert, and go straight for the true ending then things are hilarious. Dominique and Alfred arguing in Forbidden lab after they’re both obviously dead. :joy:

I’m sure Iga feels incredibly vindicated at the reception.

He should be. I’ve been critical of his work in the past but always respected that he pretty much did what he wanted to do, and made the games he wanted to make, and everything was there to capitalize on what he was doing. Konami just didn’t want to jump.

So yea he should feel super vindicated. Another big fuck you to Konami and their terrible business practices the last 15 or so years.

I played this game like a job.

10/10.

Kind of fighting the urge to play it some more TBH. Need that hype in the veins again. When’s Zangetsu?

All I have left is Nightmare. But I’m at level 99 and everything else. Not sure if its worth doing nightmare in NG+. Maybe just because moving around with Accelerator and high up is godlike.

One goofy thing that’s been building in the back of my head:

Throughout the castle there are a bunch of different portraits you can sit at. I’ve sat and looked at all them but nothing came of it. The exception is in one room that has a portrait but no chair. When you get the Chair shard to Rank 9, you start dropping chairs that you can actually sit in. So I’ve been wondering if putting a chair there and sitting does anything.

BRB, gotta test things for scientific reasons.

Sounds like nerfs are coming, and people are not too happy about it.

Yeah, Bunnymorphasis and Heretical Grinder are retarded powerful, not surprised lol

One of the joys of these games is to do stupid dumb busted shit. Wtf? Don’t nerf a damn thing.

They nerfed straight arrow, chase arrow, Riga storaema, Riga Dohin, Flying Edge, Grinder and Dullahammer Head. Yo wtf why??? :man_facepalming:t5:

We can’t even pvp. Patches were a mistake.

Heretical Grinder isn’t even that good at Rank 9. Chisel Barrage shits on it because you just murder things from full screen.

Don’t know why flying arrow would need a nerf either, nor the rest of those spells. Rank 9 summon hellhounds is gonna keep murdering the entire screen for free. Also, why did Dullhammer Head familiar need a nerf?
