Update #79 - New Shards and Graphical Updates

Yeah, Nintendo featuring Bloodstained in their Direct could only mean good things for both.

Sure, but marketing costs are always factored into development costs as well; a game like Bloodstained was certainly going to have a trailer and IGA would have set aside money for it long before Mac and Linux was canceled. The only question was whether or not the trailer would be better than the infamous Mighty No. 9 one, and let's be thankful it was! You could argue they should have dumped the trailer the trailer to put money into Mac and Linux, but considering the money they stood to lose in terms of lost sales if they didn't get the word out (which would render them even less able to do anything for Mac and Linux backers down the line), that doesn't make budgetary sense.

The refund argument and Nintendo Direct presentation goes way off topic for this thread.

Hmm...I think Pure Miriam's right, I should have mentioned this some time ago. All this discussion is a little out of the way for an Update #79 post. If you'd like to talk about the issues with Linux and Mac, you can do so in the thread Browren already made:

bloodstained.forums.net/thread/3857/okay-holidays-over-answers-linux

And if you'd like to talk about the trailer, there are several threads, of which Enkeria's is one:

bloodstained.forums.net/thread/3890/summer-2019-trailers

But for this thread, let's keep the discussion to the update, Bloodless's new look, and so on.

Speaking of 's new look, I wonder if the form she takes during her desperation move [from CotM] will show up.



Makes me think there just might be a 2nd fight. I could be wrong.

Again, 505 wasn't attached to the frigging project back in KS, if you're a backer as you claim, you'd know that. And Pure Miriam is correct, this thread has derailed when the original topic was the UPDATE, not just purely a trailer or Linux/Mac woes. At this point, after reading many current and past posts, you're right to be upset with things turning the way they have, if that's your prerogative, but you have also been seeming like you're trying to get a rise from other users and I won't stay silent on that anymore. 

In the past, you've been rude to purifyweirdshard , XombieMike , Pure Miriam , gunlord500 , hyugakojiro and others. Despite an understanding and fair conversations that've been pointed out to you. No one has downplayed your feelings on it, except maybe Aztec , recently, but I can also see that's namely due to your behaviour as of late. Lay off the vitriol in your statements and maybe others would be more willing to listen to what you have to say. Keep talking like your average League of Legends player and people will keep calling you out on the way you act.

If anyone thinks I'm out of line stating this, let me know and I'll delete this post, but until then, I am calling this behaviour out as it's not needed to be THIS negative about things, especially this anti-Nintendo propaganda. We get it, you think Ninty is shady as all hell. As Tim once said, 'Get on with it.'

I've not been thrilled with 505, either. From the so called 'beta' to the cancellations, to the fact that for some time, they never spoke of or responded to many questions in regards to misgivings on the game due to all of that. So you're not affecting things for me 'I'm sorry my having been ripped off by 505 is ruining your Nintendo lovefest here, but to me it looks like 505 sold out to Nintendo and threw us under the bus. It's relevant.'

It's been pointed out that Nintendo is doing their own thing in regards to the advertising for the Switch version and I never said I was in favor or against, so do NOT put words in my mouth of being in a 'Nintendo lovefest' when I'm not defending their actions. I was pointing out your constant attacks and borderline toxic comments as being detrimental to the discussion of THIS thread and your telling Pure Miriam that they were incorrect in regards to the thread derailment. There are other threads for this discussion and if not, make a new one for it, but don't derail this thread with your issues against 505 and Nintendo as it's NOT relevant to the topic of the thread.

And yes, I know about the post deletions, I also know you're the same one I've argued with once or twice over the last year in regards to things and that you're the reason for my recent hiatus from the boards, but that's neither here nor there. I was stating a fact and nothing more. I would also like to reiterate that I'm NOT happy with 505 and nor am I forgiving them or Nintendo for 'anything shady.' That crap shouldn't happen at all, but it does and did and I'm pretty unsure of my feelings towards the game. I'm not exactly 'hyped' given last years crap adding up until the trailer/release date announcement and especially not thrilled with how fast many forgot all that happened all due to a damned trailer.

Nintendo having shady deals with 505 is neither here nor there in what I stated prior, either. I simply pointed out that 505 was NOT attached to the KS at all, until Inticreates was kicked to the curb, which was AFTER funding had finished. Whatever publisher shenanigans they're doing is with their own funds, not what backers donated. If found to the contrary, then I will revise that, much like I did back when I defended Inti for the fiasco with CotM, then retracted my statement and was strictly against what they pulled, after more evidence of their wrongdoing came to light. Learn to see more than one side of a story.

If the angry words of one ticked-off Linux backer are enough to keep you off the board, I think maybe you're more disillusioned with the game than you realize, and if "how fast many forgot all that happened all due to a damned trailer" makes you mad, we're more alike than you realize.

Fine, though, I'll shut up so you can all go on forgetting about all that publisher nonsense and go back to discussing the totally relevant topic of which version of Spanish the game supports.
