LoS was meh at the most, graphically nice, gameplay, no thanks, it should have just been called Lords of Shadow, without the castlevania tag in my opinion, dont kid me wrong the game is good, it just doesnt feel castlevania enough, Castlevania for years has been known for its tromping through a gigantic castle on a hunt for dracula, and its music, Dracula, per say was kinda present but not in any form of his glory, just a miserable tyant, the sequel will need to do a much better job to impress me, after all, it has 20 some odd years of history to try to best.
oh and fire Kojima from the future projects, IF i wanted a castlevania movie, maybe id ask him, but he should stick to metal gear solid, and nothing else
but as they say, cant please em all, its one of those games people either love, or dont really care about
LoS2 requirements:
Non emo Dracula
Actualy familiar castlevania music
possibly the introduction of his second wife, as per the current cannon, (LoS was considered not part of the timeline yet)
less God of war mechanics, sure they work but it doesnt help the series much, it just makes them look like they're trying other games to see which works best
