Odyssey was 6GB no
Anyways Tropical Freeze is like 8GB .
7 is low for an HD retail game these days, probably they didn't bother to compress more specifically for the Switch version
Is this a story thing or a secret? I'm a bit concerned about clicking the video.
Annoyingly enough you unlock quick swaps later on I believe.
Sweet. Thanks guys, I'll get it later tonight.
Played about an hour of it and got out of the ship area and oh man... this is great. I'm almost sad I didn't back it now, lol... just been burned too many times. I agree with a lot of the impressions, it makes no attempt to hide the fact it's just a Symphony of the Night era Castlevania, and it's great. Feels good to play, I felt instantly at home equipping everything and looking at the menus, music sounds great so far, really like the improved look, and I could go on.
Presentation wise, the only thing I don't really like is the font work looks somehow more sterile than arial or helvetica. This is something I barely ever recognize, but with all the style this game has, the font being vanilla as sans serif font (probably either of the two I listed tbh) just sort of stands out. That, and in the dialogue cutscenes the models look a bit low res, despite looking pretty good in action cut scenes. That said, both of these are minor complaints at best.

As usual USPS is nowhere to be found but its "on the way" and I won't get a code until tomorrow. I know this is just means waiting a couple of day but I don't see me kickstarting something again. I'll go digital which is release date or with Bestbuy who uses UPS and has only failed me once out of all the times I've used them, damn this sucks.
Have about a third of the map done and I'm quite liking the game, though of course the feeling of "am I going to this place too early" and "what if I miss an upgrade" tend to color my experience a bit. I can already see in hindsight how the game guides you along in a "specific" manner, so the only confusion is not getting maps as pickups as this is what usually would guide you in a more specific sense.
My main criticism, and I feel I can say so with confidence already, is that the quests are fucking bad. I thought the beta used the "kill x" as a placeholder idea. I didn't realize that was nearly a third of the quests you get, and the other two types are not much better.

Thanks! Just got stuck on that part myself - I had the item I needed, but didn't know that I had to visit another NPC after that.
Sorry if this has been answered already, but what's on the disc? Are there game breaking bugs or performance issues that prevent you from playing through the game without the day one patch? Or is it just a content update?
I mean the quests and story is completely throwaway. Quests are an excuse to get rewards for monsters your already killing. Good thing is this has in abundance all the rpg type mechanics that SOTN and others were known for.
I'm not really sure if there are any bugs later on but I played a good part of the game (about 2 or 3 hours) without installing the update and I didn't find any bugs. This is on ps4.
The game is completely playable without the patch but you may come across some bugs and framerate issues. Nothing, IMO, that would make you dislike the game or feel the need to wait for the patch. I've said this before but the biggest bug I've encountered was having my character teleport across some rooms then freeze, lol. So random. I restarted my game and never encountered that again.
This is on Xbox One X, btw.
I've had it since Monday and my days off happen to be Mondays and Tuesdays...so yeah.
This is my goty so far. There hasn't been many good games this year I've played even Sekiro disappointed me but this is definitely my fave so far.
Made it past the double tower dudes from the trailers and that'll do me for the day.
This game really goes for that "remember SotN?!" approach, one room in the caverns almost felt ripped wholesale from SotN, one musical nod I swiftly stumbled into got me a trophy though so yay.
Getting into the groove of things, what pleasantly surprises me is that the drop rates aren't complete poop so you can build up loot and shards as you go quite handily.
Love the weapon selection bringing the options of the DS games with the hidden moves more common in SotN, not so fond on how the quick swap stuff works even if the ability to paste current equipment tones down the menu diving when you just want to have another weapon on quick swap.
Visuals have me going between "damn this looks pretty great" and "oh no, the judders, the surprise loading, whhhhyyy?!"

Is there a demo anywhere so I can see how it plays on my crappy PC before I spend 10 quid more on the PS4 version?
I read a comment in the Steam forums by the developer that the boss hasn't been implemented yet.
It's good on my end except for one weird room with three levels and two enemies everyone is slows to crawl there not sure why since it's good elsewhere with way more crazy stuff happening. Also one of the shard moves you learn will plummet frame rate also. Not trying to bum you out I love it so far but trying to help!
Apparently there's some GameGrumps stuff in this game? Any idea if it's just a voice or a gameplay element or something? Or am I reading this tweet wrong?
There were like a dozen or so "Clans" in the Kickstarter, including a bunch of youtubers, and each got to design something for the game.
Oh, that was a silly optional boss.
The slot machine underneath where Gebel is wins prizes for not only being a sentient slot machine, but also offering up a surprising amount of variety in terms of its various slot attacks. The Lili acting a croupier is also a nice touch.
