Oh, remember that Gameinformer (or Edge, I can't remember) complained about how Dracula had time to search for toys for his son while the world was burning? Well, the time freezes when he enters the castle dimension. These reviewers are retarded.

It isn't. The Castle parts are always great and mindblowing. Seriously you don't have idea what is going on but it is so great. And they have cool platfforming! (not ledging platfforming!)

Just because people hate bullshit in their game that would be otherwise decent without it doesn't mean they're suicidal losers. What the hell, Chern?
No, you're misreading my post (maybe it was badly written too). Not talking about suicidal stuff, but hard things in life (like finding a job, raising a family, etc.) -- you can't "quit" those things just because it's hard. Just my 2 cents, I think it's stupid to buy a game 60 euros/dollars and not finishing it...

I quited there. I was playing non stop for almost 10 hours. The game was amazing but that part told me "yeah, time to stop". I was having a blast. Sadly it is that bad.

"I can smell your fear" - Get used to those words.

lol they patched an extremely difficult section towards the end of god of war ascension called "Trials of Archimedes" they had to make it easier because it was too damn hard & people were complaining

so is very possible same thing can happen with los2

It is bad design. But it IS surprising, contrary to what you said. The rest of the game has been superb.
It's IS not surprising for me, because this developer tends to put lots of bad decisions sections in all their games. LoS 1 is full of them, so it's not surprising that they would do it here again.

It isn't. The Castle parts are always great and mindblowing. Seriously you don't have idea what is going on but it is so great. And they have cool platfforming! (not ledging platfforming!)
Something like 3D Mario games or Alice/Psychonauts/etc then? If the platforming actually includes moving platforms, things that don't require you to press a button to use the chain on it automatically, etc I'll be pretty happy. I haven't seen anything yet that's much different than the first game on the videos.

It has both, ledging and platfforming, the second is more prominent here than LoS 1 .

I would not call those stealth section "stealth" they look more like a puzzle where you need to think how to use the environment and abilities to move on....

Rats are super fun. Also gotta love the rat music.
