Topic: "The Dragon Returns" - Castlevania Lords of Shadow Sequel (HERE BE SPOILER INFO)

Meh, you know what other game had mediocre scores? MGRising. I don't know if most of the press is willing to play 15 hours and learn some mechanics anymore. If I hadn't played it I would be scared, but I did and I liked it so meh.

[LoneChild]

Linus, just stop it, please. You got annoying two pages ago already.

[Kingshango]

Im gotta be honest, these reviews aren't as harsh as I thought they would be. I thought it was gonna get murded and end up getting below 6 across the board, turns out all it got was a schoolyard beatdown where the kids become friends in the end.

But like my sig says, this hypetrain stops for no number.

P.S. Holy fuck Kotaku 4 hours on Agreus!? Really!? Even Bloodworth from Gametrailers called you a chump!

I'll stick pick up a copy, definitely.

I've avoided spoilers, expectations are in check, so Lords 2 may indeed surprise me.

And another reviewer who gave the game an F cause it took forever to get past
Agreus.

Really Kotaku maybe you guys just suck at playing games.

[Kamirine]

Already bought and playing it, so screw reviews. Coming up on the infamous Agreus part soon.  I'm going to time myself on it for shits and giggles.

So far, I don't think it's too bad.  I like it more than LoS, in terms of it being/feeling more like a Castlevania game, atmosphere wise.  Or rather, the castle parts.

Where is the review guy? I have some bad news for him

American press is diving HARD this game (as expected)

[Chernabogue]

Don't forget: be your own judge.

[Dremn]

Enough already Linus, stop spamming review scores.

[Hagathrom]

...I fully expect to spend most of my time backtracking through entire areas to find everything... 3 weeks of fun here I come.

[e105beta]

It's times like this I'm glad I loved Mirror of Fate.

Otherwise, I'm not sure my hype meter would have been able to take this butchering.

But really Kotaku? 4+ hours? Something stinks around here and it's not the game.

[DarkPrinceAlucard]

why hasn't anything been done about Linus's spamming the same reviews?

[Flame]

linus needs to cut that shit out. bots aren't this annoying

Hey folks, been awhile.

The day has finally arrived, and I'll be picking up the game in about two hours. To those that already have the game or plan to pick it up, I hope it's a fun ride and I look forward to discussing it with you guys when I'm done.

Enough talk...
