If done well it could actually be really cool. That's exactly what I'd expect to be doing when I think about playing as Dracula for real.

I guess they didn't want to step any deeper into old canon territory.

Everything is wrapped in spoiler tags around here.

Not to mention the topic's title warns there are spoilers.

Not surprised after experiencing the glitchy PC demo.

OkOk calm down everyone.
My save didn't get corrupted.
It loaded right after the final blow, it's ok.
Crisis averted.

I didn't like the ending. It felt rushed and unresolved. The fight was amazing and what happens next is good but you will be left hanging "that was it?". The music however is amazing pretty triumphant. Makes you realise what you've gone through.

As a fan, I'm staring now at the credits, thinking about all these years of speculation, readings, anticipation, wishes and dreams.    it's not about tje ending, it's the path, the path not of Gabriel but of the series, a series that played its redemption in one final blow. Lords of Shadow is an austanding sucess in one thing: make you realise that no matter the sales, or the makers, the series is already a success, it is immortal, it's part of us and our lives. Lords of Shadow delivered me that realization. I will always love and admire Castlevania, it's a celebration as it is an end.

The last words Gabriel Belmont ennounces are: Who knows what us next for us. I know. Everything comes full circle.

Bravo.
