Am I reading this right? Is full version KickStarter only?

Ah, good; I was afraid this swordwhip thing was actually something in the game itself from the way it was written.

There was a question in the survey about whether to bring in the kickstarter stuff over time or with a limited edition. Can't remember how I responded, but the swordwhip(or its red headed cousin, the whipblade) may still be a possibility.

I always said that backer-exclusive in-game content was nonsense, even after I backed. I really hope IGA & co. change their minds about this.

It is not content cut from the base game, it is bonus content intended specifically for backers. It was an incentive for people to donate more, just as the physical rewards were incentives to donate more. Giving that content to everyone would be unfair to those who backed for it.

Darkest Dungeon did the skin thingie quite well as far as I'm concerned, so I'm interested in the possibility.

That's completely different, man. It's still content in the game that will forever be inaccessible to future players. That's hardly a good thing, Bloodstained should be a new beginning for IGA and his games, locking people out of content, even if it is additional content, isn't really good.
It's not like it's just some cosmetic stuff, there's actual bosses and rooms that are included in that.

A physical item with no relevance to the game is fundamentally different from actual gameplay-relevant content in said game.
If you seriously argue this point, I'm not gonna lie, you just WANT to argue.

It'll be implemented as extra rooms and bosses, what's there to not know here?

By definition, if you use the term "locking out", you're implying the person cannot access something. Whether that's a place, or content in a game, locking out fundamentally implies the person not having something.
It's not like they've decreed that without consulting anybody, the survey is meant to ask backers what how they feel about this.
I, as a backer, say wholeheartedly that rooms and bosses are way too major to be backer-exclusive, it's a dick move to lock people out of it forever.
As long as the backers get that stuff for free, I'm all for them selling it to others as DLC.

From the Kickstarters FAQs



Preloaded implies that the backer content in NOT included in the base game.

Nuralit The only one being a child here is you, as evident by your name calling.

The base game doesn't feature the backer content therefore it is of no relevance to the base game. Period. What I said was weak was your claim that I just want to argue because I haven't walked away from the argument. I haven't walked away because my points are valid and yours are not.


Here you failed to even try explaining why my "definition" is wrong. If the content isn't in the game, you aren't "locked out of it". If there is no door, it can't be locked. Is that explanation dumbed down enough for you?


Exclusivity was part of the reward. Releasing it to everyone else is to spit in the face of the backers who were promised that exclusive content for backing the project.


Again, talking down to me in a derogatory fashion. Further evidence that you're just a petty child crying because other people don't get the same "toys".


I don't have to twist words. I have facts. FACT: the exclusive backer content is only for backers who pledged a certain amount and is owed to nobody else. FACT: giving it to everyone else would go back on the promise of an exclusive reward to those backers. FACT: it isn't in the base game so you are not "locked out" of it, it isn't there in the first place.


Is it really so hard for your tiny brain to understand that some people don't like being lied to or tricked? Or having promises broken because someone else cried alot about not getting the same thing?


You must be smoking crack if you honestly think something so stupid.
