Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night |OT| We Have Paid Our Tribute, Igavania Is Resurrected
- Thread starter Dancrane212
- Start date
I played for about 2 hours last night (PS4 copy arrived yesterday afternoon! Woot!), and I love it. It's exactly what I hoped for from a modern Igavania. Very glad I backed it.

You're right. It does look a little weird. Except that's exactly how Alucard runs in SotN. So it's perfect.
I think I can relate to being aggravated. If you helped fund development of the game, and then you can't get it until after everyone else who didn't kickstart it... that's pretty counterintuitive. Also, some people take days of from work for highly anticipated game releases. Imagine wasting that.
I kickstarted it and got my code. If I didn't get it, I'd def be annoyed.
It's always a problem with US PSN. Everyone should remember Grace Chen Time™.
I understand where they're coming from. It sucks to back something and see a bunch of folks enjoying the game when you should be too. FOMO + broken promise (even if it's not directly 505's fault) suck.
The one time I went physical ended up paying off I guess.
Yikes
Sorry guys
I mean im sure the anger will fade slowly over time but that makes today pretty rough i imagine
I guess that's true. Seeing everyone else play before you certainly sucks.
Has anyone in Europe received the backer physical copy from DHL?
Still waiting here and the webform for tracking the package is useless.

While my schedule is different now, just a year ago I worked back half of the week so I was free Sunday through Tuesday. I used to hate when games released on Fridays. Not everyone works M-F.
I don't care who is at fault. There's no reason for this to happen in the age of preloads and whatnot. No reason at all. Fuck Sony for screwing this up and fuck fangamer for beating around the bush all day when they were never going to get the codes. This is the second time they totally fucked up code delivery.
It's whatever at this point. No amount of bitching will change it. I hope everyone is enjoying it.

10 hours more or less to beat the game. After that, you can reach 40+ and even more if you want everything (crafting, shards, leveling up) and this is not counting Hard and Nightmare playthroughs AND whatever extra content that's coming.
Keep progressing through the game and you'll get something that helps with that.

BIGHEAD = big head, I guess.
NIGHTMARE = unlocks difficulty modes
the other two are weapons designed by backers.
I feel like it also comes down to How early did 505 send the requests to Sony for the keys? Unless we know when they sent in, we can't get a full picture. Given US Sony's history, getting that to them earlier would have been nice, but we don't know all the details.
Yeah. Some people get way too bent out of shape about stuff like this, but I absolutely understand being annoyed. I spent $100 backing this game, and if I wasn't already waiting for the Switch version, I'd be kinda peeved too. If anything, backers should get it EARLY.
So who owns the Bloodstained IP? Is it wholly owned by ArtPlay and 505 are just publishing it, or does this franchise technically now live with 505? Either way, I hope this one is enough of a hit to roll out further Bloodstained games to fill that IGA-era Castlevania hole that Konami left.
It makes me wonder if there's something in the deals they do with retailers that forbids them from sending the game to backers early. Mom and pop shops clearly got the game well before backers did since they were breaking street dates all over the place. Why couldn't backer copies have been sent out along with those?
Backer should get their key/physical first. I think there is no excuse for not having them out already.
Everyone who is playing early already is saying it's good so there is that.
I don't know about hours, but map size is pretty big (you can scroll around the blank spaces of the map and it seems pretty massive). I was in the
Garden of Silence
underground train station that makes me think we are going to get a RotN version of the first stage in Curse of the Moon
Thanks for the heads up - my copy will be here later tonight via Amazon, wondering if I should hold off on playing until the day 1 patch is here.
It is basically asking them to do two launches, which is a lot of added overhead for smaller devs/pubs already trying to launch across multiple consoles/pc/languages/etc...
Er, I understand the disappointment being a backer myself but is just one day.
This reaction seems awfully like a "GAMERS RISE UP!" one.
