Re: Review: Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - A Fine Castlevania Tribute That's A Technical Trainwreck On Switch

While I understand that there's a lot of stuff going on under the hood of Bloodstain, the visual looks is that of a polished HD PS2-game and the fact that the Switch version has the textures of a midlife PS1 game is just embarrassing :/

However, my biggest gripe is something that seems to be present in all version of the games. The fact that no character model has any animation for any surfaces that aren't perfectly flat. Both Miriam and the enemies constantly clip into the ground or hover above it. And if they're standing on a slope, they're balancing on one leg with the other is just resting in mid air. That just makes it look.. really cheap.

@Timsworld2 The options are usually limited runs or not getting a physical at all, unfortunately. It's not an easy task for smaller developers to not only produce physical copies of their games, and get the marketing channels to sell them through. And, once you've placed your orders for the amount of games, you'll never know if you're gonna sell them all and get the money back.

So when limited run sites like these give them a chance where they themselves don't have to take all the risks, plus that it's an open pre-order so you're promised to sell all the copies made, a lot of them will gladly take that offer
