What happened??? The DLCs are overpriced as b***h. And I've been told that each DLC only contains one single boss fight and its reward. Dull. Well at least Regional pricing do have times to shine at this moment.
At the Steam version's launch there's incident that the base game's price have gone ridiculous for the regions where usually have regional pricing. And Inti Creates has been burnt to fire from then.

Well go for the actual subject. How is everyone here liking its difficulty?

Barely touched the other Gunvolt games I have to even consider buying this one, lol. I'm thinking it might not be a series for me; I dig Mega Man and Inti's work on that series, but Gunvolt seems to be more about combos and score attacks with uninteresting level layouts. I just like my simple shooty platforming stuff.

The staff obviously lost their ways. Instead of making games as simple and crisp as ever they keep inserting 1) non interesting loli waifus to detract you from combat scene and 2) obscure/ridiculous mechanics that make combat way too complex. But maybe the Gunvolt universe is aimed for that. Sigh.

For reducing the air mobility prior to 1000 kudos I can understand, but still IDK why they made the combo slash so useless... No doubt THE worst triple slash in all those non-Mega Man games mimicking Mega Man Zero's triple slash. What the Hell was wrong with them.

...In fact Blaster Master Zero 3 also kinda steps into the post-Gunvolt Inti Creates syndrome but thankfully the trilogy ends there. Phew.

I haven't gotten around to BMZ3 yet, or 2 for that matter. 1 was amazing, though. That's too bad if Inti Creates is kinda losing focus of what made their games so great.

But hey, we've always got Gal*Gun (although 2 was kinda so-so and I've yet to try Returns to see if it's as good as Double Peace).

And... Ugh. So there's no Bloodstained crossover DLC? Then why bother putting Artplay's name at the staff roll for the first place? Maybe it's one or more Artplay staff members all along who contributed all those bugs?

If they really went for contributing bugs in iX2 without giving a damn about the free DLC of Bloodstained, I have nothing more to say.
Damn. DAMN IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhhh  *Ring of Fury equipped*

So the DLC5 in the end flops just like all the previous DLCs. In conclusion, the whole game is a mess. Ugh...

Finally GV3 release date is announced but is also overpriced as hell. $35 for the digital version? Are you serious? Hell, to this point I have no real choice besides piracy... Or I could better just skip the damn game altogether...

I'm sure it'll be like 4 bucks off in a year, ha!
