What the hell was Game Informer talking about? This game looks fine to me.

If they loved LoS1 I don't understand why they hated LoS2.

I've never trusted anything that reviewers say about graphics. It's a highly subjective aspect of any game. Plus I've observed that some people are more sensitive to things like color depth and FPS.
My first question here is did the same reviewer write up both games?

Im not seeing it either, stealth sections aside everything else seems like an improvement of the first game.

Unless Agreus's stealth segment really pissed them off, which I don't particularly blame them since it does look like a pain to get through.

If you don't like the game, don't play it. Or if you think it's not worth the asking price, wait for a Steam sale at least. It'll hit about 5$ eventually, and if you're not too thrilled about playing it I'm sure you can wait a year or two for that price drop.

Just don't go around parading that you're going to pirate it like an asshole.

In this industry and in life there are friends and enemies. There is jealousy and selfishness, whims and tantrums.

Cox does not sit well with many people, some "adults" act like children because you were not invited to any event or gave him a Tomb Edition.

Therefore I tell you, you try and careful review of the twenty-first century (it misses the professionalism of the old days)

I do not like the end ... very disney for me (that I like sad endings). But let closes the story of "LOS", I've enjoyed (well not much MoF).

From the next day 25 it's time to think about the "new" Castlevania. SotN2? ...

P. D. I'm dying to see MS squeezing power of PS4 graphics :)

I don't know that I won't like it yet until I try it and I won't give over my cash ahead of time.
I'll download it as I please and the end result will be no different to anyone who matters in that scenario.
People need to stop jumping at every mention of the  pirate "boogey-man".

I never said it has achieved mass appeal, but it is as plain as day that many of the decisions, including the very inception of the project, was motivated by an attempt for mass appeal on Konami's end.
