Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2

Mirror of fate huh? i have no idea what this guys is on about but hey looks interesting

MOF is a load of fun lol @ alucard
"do you need help?" by dracula heh heh

Ill be sure to be finished by the time LOS2 comes out

The demo for LoS2 is decent, no difficulty setting available but despite being easy the enemies seemed a little smarter and more aggressive than the first game. Set pieces are pretty impressive which isn't really a surprise, the demo has you scaling a mechanical titan that the catholic church(?) sent to kill you.

Just finished the demo my self but yeah if i didnt play mirror of fate id have know idea what "weakened" would mean in context anyway But FUCK the game was superb i can hardly wait for it!

Im i the only one playing this?
My copy came in last week and so far so good but i didnt expect such "mixed reviews" from both fans and so called "proffesional reviews"


Oh well i just beat

Spoiler:

I have the game but I haven't started it yet, I think Buu has been playing it a fair bit.

I started playing I love it, haven't had a chance to play the last couple of days though.

I just unlocked the first weapon for Gabriel.

*sneak* Sneak*
Not that i mind the stealth sequences though i dont actually see the need the prince of darkness needs to hide.

Spoiler:

BTW theres no proper new game plus so im just gonna half ass this playthough and properly do it on the POD difficulty.

Can't you just replay levels with the difficulty cranked up the same as the first game? There's no real difference between that and NG+.

About that, This game uses free roaming rather than stage select like in LOS1 so basically
if you beat a boss they stay dead, but you can return to the area and pick up anything you missed but thats all.
Plus that's if you wanna 100% (plat) it. some of the trophys require you to do the challenges at the Prince of darkness difficulty so yeah its best to do everything in one play though rather than switch just to do it again.

DLC confirmed

oh cool thats what i wanted to know. Good to see he'll be unique i hope we can play with him through normal campaign though I've yet to see a game this gen thats nice enough to do that.

There's a NG+ option in the Extras menu.

Yeah i saw that and just started one It automaticly puts you on the POD difficulty and everything transfers overs except skills which you need to buy again as you're given the points back but as i said before its better to do everything on this difficulty only if you're aiming for the plat.

Finished the story the last two bosses certainty were tougher than than any other boss but i knida expected more outta the last boss .... none the less i enjoyed the game and look forward to completing it fully this time.

Okay its been a while but nearly finished the game on POD
the kledios challenges are tough but do-able. but i'll wait till i finish up first then gather everything
They've already added the Alucard DLC trophy's, just gotta wait till it comes out too.

Not sure where to put this but here

I hope Mercury Stream makes the next Castlevania and I only care about this guy leaving if it means no harmony of Despair 2.

Still i'll Wish him the best of luck its gonna be hard. Also Buu about that Mercury announced that LOS2 was their last game  
That they dont want to be tied to a single franchise forever .... im a little dissapointed but i understand, they want to move on and do other things. Still i wonder what Konami will do next?
Find a new dev? or do it them selves?

I honestly thought that was a disgruntled employee adn didn't pay him any heed. Seeing as I liked LoS and I liked what I played of LoS 2. I find the comments unfounded.

Agreed

And thats me done now. just awaiting the DLC

The Alucard DLC came out,
just started it right now

Lwet me know if you can play any of the base game with him and also if he plays significantly differently no story spoilers though please (or just tag them appropriately).

Sure, I wont say any story spoilers but i'll still tag things some things anyway.
But geez, its not like i put up things without spoilers often, ya know lol.

Sadly he isn't playable in the base game due

Spoiler:

About his play style

Spoiler:

Is his sword the same moveset as the void sword? Because that would suck, or does he actually feel lik ea new character?

Well some of it does .... but i guess that's due to the similar attacks i.e Vengeful stab
But overall its probably a no.Due to it having its own unique attacks


Just beat the alucards story

Spoiler:

Im gonna be moving on to the POD difficulty now.
