Lords of shadow was meh. Dlc was shit. Mirror of fate was meh. Lords of shadow 2 was meh.... So why am I thinking the dlc will fix it? It's like I enjoy dissapointment.

Bergaron I summon you!!!

Tell us... will we get a Victor DLC???

[Flame]

I'm not Bergaron but even i can tell you that will most likely be a no.

[Dremn]

Alucard DLC and that will be it.

[EstebanT]

Why would we want victor DLC? Just play Los1. Are we that eager to grow giant with random mystical stones? I want more screen time for victor.... But we don't really need a playable victor. I would rather have chupacabra DLC

Los2 has flopped financially in the UK.

Looks like being last gen only was indeed a bad decision.

I don't expect it to be too different in the US either.

I'm sorry...I can't resist

I called it. But it was so fucking obvious that the game wouldn't sell better than LoS1. People who thought it would sell better were desilusional.

If it had actually delivered, I have no doubt it would have sold better.

Nope, it wouldn't. There's no momentum for this. LoS1 was released on the right time, with PS3/360 on their peaks.

And as I said... many people were dissapointed by the first game. I know so many people who thinks like this, outside forums and owners of PS3. They didn't even bother trying LoS2.

And I know so many people who were impressed by the first game and were looking forward to this one.

Anecdotal evidence is fun, ain't it?

EDIT: In all seriousness, LoS1 would have helped LoS2 more than it would have hindered it. There was more than one reviewer disappointed by LoS2 because it was one of their more anticipated games. It had hype. You say there was no momentum for LoS2, but there was far less momentum for LoS1.

[Maedhros]

Yeah. Half of the people probably ended being disapointed by LoS2, considering the shitty ending and reviews.

I love anedoctal evidence.

EDIT: BTW, it isn't really anedoctal, it's obvious that some people didn't like the first game and wouldn't buy the second. Simple logic. We don't know how many, but seeing how LoS2 flopped, seems like it was many.

Or people didn't by LoS2 because it's an inferior product and got significantly lower ratings than LoS? No, that would make too much sense.

I'm not arguing that LoS2 as it is will do better than LoS. I'm arguing that if LoS2 didn't pull in god awful reviews before it even came out resulting in a disappointing product, it would have sold better than LoS.

But then again, we'll never know now, will we?
