So, what, is Lawds's success all from mainland Europe?

(Also where are we getting these #s from?)

Gaf insider who has access to NPD numbers.

And considering it only sold 58k in 4 days in NA without counting digital sales (and maybe PC), that's not that horrible, could have been much better tho.

If it's not counting PC, that's actually pretty good.

It's only 4 days too. Actually that's good.

@Ahasverus

Sorry, but still sold WORSE than the first game, even on the US.

And you guys saying only 4 days... that's not sales work... Sales are frontloaded on 1~2 days only, if the game is popular enough, it'll have sold around 100k in one week, if the stock permits.

It's a bomba. Sorry. The point about PC is a good one though, we don't really know how many copies were digital. At the same point, Konami was already saying something about LoS1 sales, so... bomba. It sold worse than fucking Rayman, which is considered a big flop.

That doesn't mean it didnt sell well. I think selling worse than the first game was guaranteed, considering many people bought the first game on sheer hype alone, and not knowing what to expect. many of those people did NOT like what they got, and therefore didnt buy the other two.

Err... it means exactly that it sold badly, yes.

We just need PC figures, but I doubt it'll be any good for this game, though. Euro numbers aren't good too, considering the game didn't even charted there (but it's still the second best CV opening, meaning something worse than the first LoS there).

And BTW, what you said is exactly what I expected, that this game wouldn't sell better than the predecessor. But some people though I was saying crap or something...

So I've been playing the game again and I've made it up to Agreus. Am I going crazy or did the text before his stealth segement change after the recent patch? Because I don't ever recall it mentioning the use of mist to slip pass unnoticed.

You are not crazy. It does now. I would like to know what else is new with this new patch...

Also needs Simon and Trevor (and maybe Alucard?)

[EstebanT]

The banner doesn't have different versions of the same character.

I've been thinking about making some LoS sprites eventually. I've never sprited anything Castlevania style but I'm willing to give it a shot.
