So this game is on sale right now on Steam, and I have been wanting to buy it for a while, however, I read that the developers decided to make the stupid decision of nerfing stuff in a single player game.

My question is, should I still buy the game, or simply pirate it to punish their retarded decision? They did make a Castlevania spiritual successor that many wanted for year, but then they made a stupid decision that goes against what I believe in. Do they still deserve my money?

Don't buy it.

buy curse of the moon instead
cheaper and more fun

How much did they nerf, I only know about True Arrow. Stuff like Bomide Blast is still busted.

Idk what they nerfed but plenty of way to get overpowered still since I literally screwed over the final boss in a few hits without losing health

I had fun, I don't even like Metroidvania but this game was different just bloody buy it

No idea, I just saw a bunch of stuff listed and thought it was retarded.

I liked it, but just pirate it. Goddamn, no one cares.

La Mulana 1&2 is better.

What if Symphony of the Night had its best equipment nerfed?

What if you were a contemptible faggot with no redeeming qualities?

I wouldn’t give a fuck because I never used it after the turn of the century.

If you liked the GBA and DS era Castlevania's you will like this game.

They nerfed Alchemic Bounty.

>They did make a Castlevania spiritual successor that many wanted for year
Then support that, you dumb bitch.

>they made a stupid decision that goes against what I believe in.
That's a fucking weird hill to die on, my guy. It's not like they censored something. Single player balancing happens relatively common these days and there's nothing less fun than something so overpowered that it becomes trivial to use, and makes everything else seem worse by comparison. Not even hard to get items, either, shit you can get from almost the start of the game.
>Just don't use it then
Then why fucking have something in the game if I have to force myself not to use it to keep the game from being a pushover?
It's fine if it's a post-game unlockable, but not as a normal ass item you can pick up within 30 minutes of starting the game.

I played through it at release before the overpowered stuff was nerfed, and enjoyed it. That being said, I have yet to go back to it, so my opinion could change on a second play through. It has a few issues, however so does SotN.

My biggest complaint is that the final 2 areas or so feel rushed and empty. Otherwise, the game is a solid Metroidvania that I wouldn't hesitate to put up there with the best of the genre..

crissaegrim is unnerfable

I was already bored by the time I fought Zangetsu for the first time. Get Curse of the Moon instead.

>Zig Forums convinces someone to miss an 8/10 metroidvania because they nerfed three things and the character has tattoos
Cool thread

Does IGA/ArtPlay even get any money from international sales?

>Single player balancing happens relatively common these days
And 99% of it is retarded.
The game is a knowing homage to SotN, one of the most unbalanced games in existence.
It completely boggles the mind that they would include something functionally identical to the Crissaegrim and later nerfed it.

And yes, the onus not to use busted stuff is on the player. If you lack self control in a game like this, it's entirely your fault.

Cheaper on fanatical

It's even cheaper on Greenmangaming but the difference is Greenmangaming did something to support a stance I don't agree with while Steam didn't, regarding the events of last month.

If that stupid reason is what you hold on to then continue being stupid and don't buy it.

what?

((nignogs))

what about niggers?

>pirate it
>download nude mods
>play it for 5 minutes
>never touch it again

You really shouldn't use the ((())) meme if you don't understand it

Did they nerf stuff again?
The most egregious example was nerfing the END GAME crissaegrim equivalent.

I'm guessing you don't browse Zig Forums much. BLM, murders, burning down everything in sight, CHAZ, trannies heading a prostitute ring, the list goes on.

It would honestly be a much better game if power scaling wasn't so fucked, you have to actively make an effort not to trivialise the game even playing blind

I'm playing it now and I don't think it's a big deal. You have plenty of busted options to break the game if that what's bothering you. Buy it, it's fun.

I was trying to whisper.

Scaling's not even the problem considering you start with the most broken thing in the game.

>nerfed

Uhhh this game gets broken as fuck at the end game. Whatever you’re talking about I’m sure is largely irrelevant

Yeah once you beat the double headed dildo dragon, and get the shard the game is smooth sailing.
