To me, saying "The game has not been delayed" when it has been delayed is a worse sign than the delay itself.

Seems like a rather knee-jerk reaction. I'll wait to try the demo myself rather than put all my expectation eggs in the basket of some random reviewer's opinion.
What does that have to do with anything? My comment was in regards to the games release time frame, not the quality of the game itself. Thus playing the demo wouldnt change my mind at all, unless it happens to end with a surprise release date
The quality of the music was brought into question, so a response like that does make sense.

Will there be an archive of these streams? I definitely won't be available for the first one, and most likely won't be available for the second.

How i think a Castlevania compilation could be. Three packs (probably sold separately) with optional HD resolutions and adaptations. For PS3/PS4/Xbox one/PC (steam). Castlevania Classic and Remake Collection: Castlevania, Vampire Killer, Castlevania II: Simon's Quest, Haunted Castle, Castlevania: The Adventure, Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge, Super Castlevania IV, Castlevania Chronicles, Castlevania: Rondo of Blood, Castlevania: Bloodlines, Castlevania: Dracula X, Castlevania Legends, Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth, Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles. Castlevania Action-Roleplaying Collection: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Castlevania (Nintendo 64), Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, Castlevania Chronicles, Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, , Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, Castlevania Judgment. Castlevania Shadow Collection: Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2. Excluded from compilations: Kid Dracula games (not really related to Castlevania franchise, just joke games). Castlevania: Order of Shadows (mobile game that almost no one knows), Castlevania: Harmony of Despair (would require lots of work to properly adapt on a compilation). Any thoughts? Even assuming that Konami is working on a collection, there is no way they would have even close to that many games on one collection. See Capcom and Mega Man, or Square-Enix and Final Fantasy.

It seems like it’s finally working... and not just for my PS Vita! Many Vita games are also listed as "PS3", because some games had to be downloaded to a PS3 and then transferred to your Vita.

Could we move away from discussion pirate themed games here. Please? Thank you. You're going to have to do much better than that in order to get me to stop talking about LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean.

I was very sad when I heard the news that he left Konami (seems like it was a lifetime ago) and I remember fondly how my heart raced before the Bloodstained campaign, with the "sword or whip" mystery and the teasers. I didn't know what to expect. I was really excited, and when Bloodstained was revealed I was blown away. I can still vividly recall the happiness I felt that day. It almost didn't seem real, all those years after Order of Ecclesia which was up to that point his perfect Castlevania swansong (it's actually my favorite 2D 'vania). I was the exact opposite. Once I heard he left Konami, my immediate thought was, when is the Kickstarter going up? Probably a good thing I didn't know it would take a year though. I felt the same way concerning swordorwhip though. That was such a great week.

People pirate games because they can. Pirated games is a industry on itself. Every single game that is released is pirated. Also, Bloodstained is going to be released on GOG. GOG is famous for being DRM free and user-friendly on copies and installation (any GOG game can be freely copied from one computer to the other since they have no DRM or anti-piracy lock besides the basic ones). I'm not expecting Bloodstained to be pirated. I'm just stating the fact that it will be. And when a game is pirated, it is pirated with all content. Also, i didn't even said piracy is a bad thing or a good thing, i didn't defended it nor attacked it. The only thing i said is a fact: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is going to be pirated and it's "backer exclusive content" will be pirated, regardless if such content is free or not, is exclusive or not. Yup, this is what the "pirate" conversation comes down to. Regardless of what they do or don't do, it's going to happen. Even if the game were to be released only for the PS4 and Xbox, it could still happen at some point.

If someone is so petty that they would pirate a game because the developers/publishers are keeping a promise to the Kickstarter backers, the people that supposedly enabled the game to exist, then you were never going to get anything from that person in the first place. They will find another reason to justify pirating. It likely wouldn't be for "keeping a promise" but for making the promise in the first place. Some people are very strongly opposed to the idea of permanently locked content in the games industry. Hell, some are opposed to the idea of any kind of pre-order or Day One DLC, any kind of content that is already made for the game by the time its release, being locked behind a paywall much less exclusivity. They see it as literally cutting out parts of the game. I was talking to a dude on Reddit a few days ago who, despite being a backer and will be getting said exclusive content, is saying he's normally one to boycot that sort of thing and doesn't want them to go through with it. (Somehow I guess he missed the memo when he backed the thing.) I don't blame people for not liking any of that. It's certainly nice when you can just buy a game, and not have to worry about making any other purchases for the game, even though any extra content is never "necessary". But that just shows how unreliable some people are. People say something is okay, and then don't support it. People say something isn't okay, and then go on to support it. That's why often there's no clear answer, and all you can do is what you think is right.

I prefer that they just work on a new game. I don't really like download content in general, as I don't want to keep going back to the same game, no matter how much I might love it. This is probably just a sign of my relative inexperience with DLC, but the first thing I always think of is Shovel Knight, whose DLC expansions practically feel like new games. Of course, long nonlinear games are harder to design than short linear ones, so I can't exactly say "just do what Shovel Knight did!" To get a better idea of where to set my expectations, looking at other modern Metroidvanias is probably a good idea. Doesn't Hollow Knight have story DLC? If anyone's played Hollow Knight, how substantial do you feel its story DLC is? The only one I've played that has download content is Guacamelee, and it definitely isn't substantial. Basically just costumes and challenges.

For a "Castlevania" game I think it works even less though, because it doesn't seem like it would be satisfying to open up the bathroom wing of the castle to explore months and months after you've completed everything else. For some reason this made me legit want to explore a Castlevania/Bloodstained version of a bathroom section. Why? I understand this, and it's ultimately the best argument for keeping exclusivity. I don't want the exclusivity, but I can't argue with people wanting them to stick to their promises. It just makes me wish they never promised it in the first place. Edit: Aha at last! I am a Loyal Familiar! No longer New Blood! For as long as I've been here it's about time I have good news for you. I have a preview of the aforementioned content, so you may just find out: imgur.com/FJ5IxHz

Also, I just want to say that it's getting difficult to constantly read statements along the lines of "Stop trying to keep people from playing the content you're playing!". While there may be people that feel such a way, I haven't seen anyone express such a sentiment. It feels like it has become a straw man argument. It's not about keeping people from anything. I, and others, just don't like the idea of selling people on exclusive content, only to change the terms after everyone's money has been taken. There was no Kickstarter law that required exclusive content to be offered to backers. They knew exactly what they were doing by offering such content, so I think they should stand by their word. We aren't even talking about story related content here. It's a fourth wall breaking boss and a weapon, so even disregarding the original terms, it's nothing that would keep anyone from experiencing the story.

I don't think we'd have to worry about this. It was only an issue in Symphony of the Night, so I can't imagine it would be brought back. It was actually also a thing in Harmony of Dissonance for the GBA. I happened to notice EXP degradation was a thing after I completed two playthroughs of the game about 2 years ago, and before I posted about the significance of collecting Furniture in that game: bloodstainedfanforums.com/post/35654But I agree. I don't think it will return in Bloodstained.Hahaha. I guess Harmony of Dissonance really is that unpopular. I've only ever played through it twice, so I never noticed.

That would require the system to have no EXP degradation from enemies (or bonus EXP if their level is higher than yours), however. Every enemy that gives hundreds or thousands of EXP upon defeat must remain that way for the entire game (not counting how much of a bonus may be granted by accessories like Pure Miriam 's idea). I don't think we'd have to worry about this. It was only an issue in Symphony of the Night, so I can't imagine it would be brought back.

Yeah, this could rightly be considered a screw-up on Inti Creates' part. Too bad they weren't aware JP console codes wouldn't work for "Asian" (non-Japan) region accounts. I would opt for Option #2 if I was in this situation, personally. Option 2 wouldn't even work if you're talking about a Vita. It's only an option if you have a PS4.

I mean, Overlord it depends on why people don't like it. If the breasts were reduced simply to appease some Puritans (on either side of the political spectrum), then yes, that's censorship, in the sense that the game's overall vision would be altered for external factors. However, if the breasts were reduced because IGA thought they looked garish, that's not censorship because the change is enhancing his personal vision for the game. And the latter seems to be the case in reality, as the original breasts looked like weird bags of water rather than anything especially attractive (in any sense). So I don't think we have a case of censorship. But anyways, that's all water (heh) under the bridge now, let's focus on the update itself. Actually, that does make sense. Covering/changing/removing something, especially if it's sexual in nature, because some people don't like it is generally considered censoring. It highly depends on the context, I take Vepar 10x more seriously after the changes, it looks like a menacing gothic monster now and not like a cartoonish out of place fantasy now. I hated her first iteration not because I'm against them showing the breasts but because it looked goofy and out of place. If you make changes so your character fit more into your universe then why would it be considered censorship? That's certainly correct, but ultimately we don't know the reasoning behind the change. Personally, I agree with you, gunlord. I even referred to them as "water sacs" after we initially saw the character. But what I do know is that IGA was confident enough to release the character in that state, and there certainly were people on this very forum complaining that they were "too big". So I couldn't just dismiss the notion of censorship either.
