Hello everyone. MarkyJoe1990 here. I'm pretty sure no one remembers me, but for the few who might, and just need a reminder, I did an Eternal Candle Challenge run in Castlevania IV. The thread of which you can find here:
http://castlevaniadungeon.net/forums/index.php/topic,4478.0/nowap.htmlAnyway, I decided to record footage of Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night, and do commentary on it with my mom. I'm not going into this blind, since I've played the demo a couple times already, but she knows nothing about it. She's a fan of the Castlevania series, so I figure she's a good pick for a "first impressions" person while I play the game with foreknowledge.
Here's the footage, since the youtube embed system doesn't appear to be working.A couple things I should note is that the video gets choppy at times, and I felt I should have better articulated what I meant about the level design being bland. I feel like the enemies could be positioned in more creative, challenging ways, or that they could be more aggressive. As it is right now, there's a lot of flat hallways with enemies barely able to do anything but wait for you to kill them, y'know?
Of course, I'm aware that this is probably gonna be the first "area" of the game, but even with that said, I can't help but feel like the level design is somewhat underwhelming.
Everything else about the game feels and looks great though. I'm just worried about the quality of the challenge is all.
