You forgot Cecil-Kain and Dengojin at least, haha. But yeah, we appreciate the kind wishes, Dia We'll definitely be needing them...but at the end of the day, I think we can handle it. If the game's as good as I think it's been shaping up to be, there may be fewer of those angry pitchforks than you expect ;D

Not a fan of the horns. Didn't Iga already say in one of those updates or something that Miriams horns were not really horns at all, but an accessory? Could have sworn I saw something about that not too long ago somewhere. Yup, they are an accessory. You can replace them with hats, tiaras, all sorts of things in game. However, since they were in the concept art from day 1, I suppose Kojima wanted to put them in there to make it instantly recognizable.

After a year of stretch goals, paid and free dlc? I'd be fine with starting over if it is all on disk, including all patches. Yeah. Honestly, I might just do the same...as long as I have my physical backer goods I can play the game itself whenever I want, and a "Game of the Year" version won't be that much of an expense compared to what I already paid, so I might as well just shell out again for it when it comes out. XD

Only speaking for myself. I am disapointed, but I am not going to be an asshole about it like those idiots on the kickstarter page. Haha, believe me, we appreciate it Miri. Hopefully the content of the game itself will be enough to help you forget your disappointment in this respect, and I'm confident it will be!

@bloodymiri Pretty sure that's not a backer thing at all. Basically, the DLC - regardless of how much you backed for or even if you backed at all - will be delayed on the PS4 and Xbone platforms. PC and Switch will have it available on release. Yup, exactly this. At least in this case, it's no longer "Day-1 DLC"... I doubt it'll do much, but maybe it'll smooth at least one ruffled feather or so.

Don't despair yet, even if your tracking number hasn't been generated (and there are a couple more days for it to go out) it doesn't mean your stuff has been lost or anything, sometimes #s can be finicky.

Yeah, good points purifyweirdshard . I think someone either on the Discord or here was mentioning recently how it was just about the 4th anniversary of the completion of the Kickstarter campaign, so that may be another reason to release now. And yeah, I also meant 'official mods' as in 'guys who have the title of mods on here,' not that we're employed by 505 or anything like that XD

Thank you, gunlord500 . I'm amazed at so many backers, especially in this forum, being "cool" with this and even defending this "standard" practise to please the shareholders or whatever. It's seems obvious to me that it's not appreciated among most of the members active here, so I'll try to stay away from posting. I'm currently only able to generate bitterness and snide comments. I'll be back once I have something more heart-warming to say. Well, jboogieg had the right of it--I'm unhappy about a too-early launch, but for the reasons I describe I can understand why 505 had to do it, and I can't condemn them for it. The other reason I'm not very condemnatory is that yesterday I actually went out around my neighborhood and asked several local big-name retailers, namely Walmart and Gamespot, if they had it. Both places explicitly told me the game wouldn't come out until the 18th. So it seems to me that 505 did do its due diligence and inform everyone that the game wasn't to be released until the 18th, it just seems like more retailers than usual are just straight-up ignoring 505's orders, which isn't 505's fault. As folks here have mentioned, leaks happen, but I can't understand why it's so prominent with Bloodstained, it seems like we just got unlucky.
That said, I can also understand why you might wanna step back for a bit, but honestly after watching the streams I would be willing to be you will have something more heart-warming to say once you play the game. I don't wanna spoil anything, so I'll speak in generalities, but after watching one of the streams I can safely say that Bloodstained looks like SotN2, easily, It's not just me being an advertiser or a shill, I mean it plays just like the IGAvania games but there is SOOOOOO much to find and do. Even after the first 3 hours and 3 bosses, there's more content than in entire games like Dark Devotion and (from what I've heard) Hollow Knight. Combine this with the extra modes and stuff we'll be getting, and this game will blow just about every other metroidvania released in the past few years clear out of the water. Yeah, I know, again I sound like you'd expect an official mod to, but you guys know I've been a Castlevania fan for years and as one, I can sincerely say I'm very pleased by what I've seen. My happiness at the quality of the game--even BEFORE the day one patch to make it run smoother--has taken the edge off of the messed-up launch more than a little bit

It's a huge pain in the butt, @bloodymiri I agree. I actually went out in person and asked Walmart and Gamestops in my area if they had the game and they said no. I could understand if it was just JnL making an oopsie but from what I've heard, it seems like there are leaks all over the place. This is infuriating, and believe me, Angel is much angrier than I am, this is giving him a metric ****-ton of work to do. I don't know how it could have happened.

This makes me so angry and sad. I'm at a loss of words. Why even do a physical release if it's rushed like this? Bad PR move. I know how you feel. I was actually wondering this myself, and I think it may have to do with the fiscal year. I looked it up and apparently for businesses, the fiscal year is divided up into quarters, and the 3rd quarter ends in June. I was always expecting them to release in July, but the 4th quarter starts on July 1. So if they released earlier in June, profits would start to show in the 3rd quarter, which might be important. But I'm not sure, I guess I could ask around for more reasons as to why the game was released this early. I think backer impatience might have had a hand in it too--people were starting to get really tired of waiting. I personally would have gone for a release in July or August for the reasons you state, but looking at the general attitude of the fandom, people might have started calling for IGA's blood if he waited that long, and not in a good way!

Because Game of Thrones is HBO which is for adults while games are for children. ALL games. Just like ALL cartoons.
General cultural perception can be quite dumb.
To be fair B, while I'd say Bloodstained is definitely for mature folks, I believe the game is explicitly aiming for a T rating, which influences how people will expect the level of both sex and violence to be. But in any case, I don't think we have to worry too much about that. There may be some naked statues and stuff as in the old 'Vanias, but not much more than that, and there may be things like the impaled Sabnock bleeding in the castle entrance, but not too much more than that. I think that should give the game a gothic atmosphere without alienating too many folks

Nice find, PM. Like I've been saying, even if Bloodstained doesn't have quite the aesthetic appeal of, say, Hollow Knight (and that's a big if, the graphical overhaul looks great), our game will make up for it by sheer size. Seems like IGA's agreeing with me :smirk:
