I am waiting for Demon's Souls to work flawlessly before I jump in. I can't wait!

Quoting: slaapliedje

Quoting: FutureSutureGlad to hear it. I will purchase the game once the developers move on so as to have the complete experience. I look forward to it! Them mentioning Castlevania as an inspiration has me excited!

This amuses me. In essence you're saying that immediate purchases of games is a bad thing to do, because then they penny pinch you with DLCs and such. I actually agree with this, but I wonder how many people would punish developers in this way until they realize that we don't want DLCs, just give us the game, and give us patches or if you're going to include free DLC (which this one is, so may as well buy it now, and play it later once it's complete).

Too many developers these days (I'm looking at you Paradox) DLC the shit out of their games, so keep making profit on them years and years later. It's not necessarily a bad thing (again referring to Paradox who keeps their older games relevant) but it certainly can be (like Paradox charging for silly things like sound tracks and art packs).

I understand what you are saying and I can get behind it. In my case, however, it really is just me not wanting to bother with purchasing, or if the downloadable content is free, simply downloading any additions to the game. I do not want the game to change once I have it. I do not want to have to deal with bugs or alterations to the gameplay. I want the complete, final experience. Regarding buying a game now and playing it later, why would I do that? That creates a backlog. I buy games as needed. Money is not the issue for me. I buy them at full price once they are done, provided they are available for Linux. It just sounds more convenient for me.

The gameplay video has me interested. I will keep an eye on this. If it turns out to be a quality game, I do hope that it comes to Linux and is sold on GOG.

I have yet to even touch the first game! With all the praise for Hollow Knight and how it supports Linux and its sequel will too, perhaps I should just give all my love and support to that game franchise instead of being angry over how the developers of Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night cancelled Linux support.

I like what I see! Why are the GPU options all Nvidia, though? That is the only part I do not like. If I am spending that kind of money, I would want it going to the company actively developing an open source graphics driver on Linux.

What the actual heck? There goes my purchase of the game at full price. This was my most anticipated game (and not just Metroidvania) by far. I am a massive fan of the genre so this is a major disappointment. Good thing I stay the heck away from Kickstarter and other crowdfunding websites like it.

Quoting: ShmerlGood that it's releasing, but they really should have used Unreal instead of Unity. Many pointed it out to them in the past.

Why do you say that? I am not clued up on the matter, hence my curiosity.

I do not mind. This delay will give me more time to finish other Metroidvania titles and will ensure that Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night will end up being a quality game.

I am intrigued. I will wait for some reviews to come out once it releases.
