As they surround me I stare them down... my boots were ineffective so I look around for something to use. I see a fallen soldier clasping a silver sword but alas the only way to get to the weapon is to push through the enemy... I grit my teeth and dive through a gap between two demons I scrape by bearly touching the filthy demons, I tuck and roll toward the sword... when I grab the shining sword the dead, decaying soldier's hand crumbles... with a mighty yell, I lunge toward the pack with a flurry of unrelenting attacks...

Pure Miriam true and nostalgic... and the reason why it feels so nostalgic is that Tom Dubois did the special artwork and he was responsible for the original castlevania box art! as purifyweirdshard said earlier it has that classic feel to it... or at least the special edition versions do. he did many classic NES, SNES and Genesis game box art.

I like how pure spoke about his first experience with Castlevania so I will talk about my first experience too... I am older then many on here (I just hit a milestone last week that makes me feel really old)... so my first experience of Castlevania was with Simon Belmont and the original Castlevania... I was too young and not very good at games so I "deemed" it too hard and THAT game started the confusion of hearts not healing you hahah... Castlevania was always apart of my childhood even if I didn't play it. Who remembers Captian N the Game Master? Simon and that funky looking Megaman lol... anyway I didn't like the games too much during the NES era. I loved the art style and graphical tricks of Super Castlevania IV but still not my type of game.
Finally, we get to the Symphony of the Night... the art style and game mechanics and (to me) the most important thing, exploration!!! this game blew my mind the varied weapons and the hidden secrets of certain weapons... or little details like eating peanuts! you could feel all the love that was poured into this masterpiece. many people say the other games like AoS, DoS, and OoE were more refined which I agree but I think the hidden things you could do int SotN were better (my opinion, not here to contest what game is "better")... but even if the other games were not as "magical" to me they were still very fun and the refinement of the gameplay was so freaking awesome!!! I wanted to see what was next... then Lord of Shadows came out... then part two came out... then nothing... then I accepted to live the rest of my life without a true Igavania forever...
THEN this kickstarter came out with a video of Iga turning into mist and bats than when he smashed that wineglass!!! I was so hyped!!! There was gonna be another igavania a true successor spiritual successor to the type of Castlevania I loved so much (yes I cried and I am not afraid to admit it... to a bunch of strangers I may never meet, EVER haha).
We've had ups and downs but to me mainly ups... THIS is the first blog or online community I have EVER been apart of. I'm not a social person AT ALL... but this place was friendly and I posted my thoughts and people responded (usually positively)... I have since fallen off posting but I still enjoy reading the posts here and being part of a community, so I would love to thank XombieMike , purifyweirdshard , and gunlord500 for making this a safe and usually positive community... It is even made better have people involved in the making of the game responding to us... like Mana , Question , Angel-Corlux , and benjuddge . and finally, thank you Pure Miriam and LeoLeWolferoux and a few other that I consider friends on here...
I personally have not seen that many missteps from Iga and his team besides the linux/mac thing... I feel bad for them but seriously other than that there have not been many major missteps (in my opinion)... I am proud to be a backer and I've been hyped for this game every time I see something new about it!
We are almost there and it has been a pleasure to have walked this journey with many of you... so until this game comes out I stand proud to be one of The Army of the Night!

This is the first pokemon I am kinda excited about since red & blue... didn't have friends to trade with so I felt like I was missing out... this time I hope there is online pokemon trading so we could trade without knowing the person IRL... I wish I could say what starter I will be going with but until I see their final evolutions I am on the fence but leaning toward scorbunny or sobble but again I won't know until the final evolutions are shown.
thrashinuva congrats on getting a switch!!! hope you got a good game (or some good games) to tide you over till sword and shield.

That would be awesome... and makes more sense then my idea if there was a password system somewhere or even as a "code" that would be awesome... maybe a code that puts a REDACTED over a character maybe a random character lol... OH!!!... awww I just realized the voice acting part is over... it would have been cool to hear Bismarck Kappa III yell "REDACTED" as he does a punch!!! haha...
and once the crate comes out Bismarck Kappa III jumps out and a boss battle ensues lol

the biggest thing to me is that they fixed many of the "physics" issues that people complained about... like the chandelier and Miriam's hair... so excited about the game!!! also that bloodless comparison is nice!

I love how they put 49.99 for the xbox version and then they have the balls to say "Save $10.00 (20%)" even though they are guessing the price hahah

I got 4 copies too but I wish I got at least one extra digital copy for my xbox one x... so I don't need to open the physical copy. it's cool though I only really bought it to support the developers... I wonder if I have a physical backer version and get a normal digital version on the same console... will it acknowledge my physical backer stuff?... I doubt it but it would be cool.

It seems the pice will be 39.99 but the PS4 version says it's 49.99 so I don't know... it might just be a place holder price same as the release date it says September 17, 2019 but again it might be a place holder date.
(Oh, not sure if this is the right place to put this thread... I think its right but I'm not sure)

I have been having a strange winter... I have been depressed for longer then I'm used to. Yes, I suffer from depression but I usually strive to do better than the day before (sooo much easier to say then do lol). I haven't been able to write for a few years now and I was finally able to write something and I wanted to share it with the friends I have here. so check out my new poem from deviantart... hope some of you like it... I know its depressing but I hope it resonates with at least a few people.

Galamoth i agree with you. Not much on PoR, but to me, OoE surpassed Symphony of the Night. Time 4 Tea it's fine, i like to do those breakdowns, no worries. JeffCross haha, calm down man! but yes, i'm OVERLY hyped. And damn, Mana surely deserves a raise, and more, for all her work and passion! Just remember: Neither Mana nor IGA nor anyone else at ArtPlay will be getting a raise until Bloodstained to turns in a profit. I'm thinking of buying a Switch copy just to help out (I chose the Windows version). Tell all your friends about the game and get them to try it. It could be the difference between Bloodstained 2 (with Mana as lead character designer or at least assistant producer) and all the devs out of a job. yes true... once we find out the actual release date we need to do our part to get the word out there... even now we need to put it out there that this game is coming out (sadly I don't have much a social media presence...) but I will still be doing my part.
