| MegamanX 12/17/19 3:46:57 PM #69: | 2nd Bloodstained Ritual of the Night Bloodstained Curse of the Moon did not rank Received a #1 Vote I know a lot of people were angry at Kojima being tossed by Konami, but I had been more upset that Igarashi had just been chucked out. Mighty No 9 set this stigma that these ex developers had no talent, because well Keiji Inafune is just a business guy and gamers got baited from that kickstarter. People ganged up on Bloodstained in that same way, when the graphics were not to peoples liking they called it the next Mighty No 9. Newsflash the game was still good in that state, it had been touring conventions and plays exactly like it does now. So instead of ignoring gamers they went back and redid the art or maybe they never truly intended to use that unfinalized style. We will never know. What we got was proof that the master of metroidvania was far from washed up like Konami thought. Bloodstained has a gigantic map filled with life, creative enemies, and creative bosses. I don't think Bloodstained does anything really new here but it does everything so well that like a good Darksiders game its easily forgiven. On that same token its why you will never see it on any GOTY list from any major publication as it didn't push the art or the medium to some 'new standard'. Bloodstained's legacy? Being a fantastic game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFD_eI6F51g --- XBL/PSN/:StingX2 Switch: 0675-3724-0313 ... Copied to Clipboard! |
