In a Kickstarter update for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, project lead Koji Igarashi revealed that the game will have over 1,600 rooms. That makes this project his largest Castlevania-esque title in terms of scope. It also means that Bloodstained will be around 1.5x the size of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (not counting the inverted castle).

Due to the high number of rooms, the development team is considering adding more enemies to fill them up. Igarashi is also giving thought to expanding the stor and introducing more characters.

Famitsu held a reader poll for Xenoblade Chronicles X in one of its most recent issues. 1,257 people participated in the survey, and voted on topics such as the game’s difficulty, amount of content, and more.

Kotaku translated a number of questions several days back, but we’ve gone ahead and gathered up additional data – largely because the results were quite interesting! Continue on below to see what players thought of the Skells, squads, overall rating, and more.

Q1: [Respondents chose from pre-determined categories for elements they expected from the game and what things they liked after playing. Multiple choices were allowed.] Many players expected “World setting/Story” from the game, but “Exploration on the field” received the most votes for being good after respondents had played the game. Players were dissatisfied with the position of the main character and the degree of emotionalism of the story, so “World setting/Story” received harsh numbers in the latter question. [Note: respondents were able to choose multiple points and Famitsu expressed the results in a weird way. For example, it doesn’t mean 8% of the respondents thought the story was good. It means story had 8 percent of all votes when a single respondent may give 0-10 different votes. The percentage doesn’t tell how much players like each element. Rather, it shows how much they like each element in comparison to other elements.]

Q9: Collectopedia items are important for completing quests. It is intended that players share information of collectible items, so there are basically no hints for getting the items. More than 40 percent of the respondents thought that having few hints wasn’t much fun.
