its a role-reversal

in every cv game belmont fights 10-foot tall dracula
this time, dracula fights 10-foot tall belmont


could just be mercurysteam poking fun at that detail

Just finished the game at 110%, and I have to say, despite it's flaws, I like the game much more after the second playthrough.

If you think things are taking too long to kill you really need to work on upping your mastery of the weapons. At level 3 Mastery, the whip and the claws are just beastly. Anything but the largest enemies go down in just a couple good hits and even the larger ones don't last long.

All of those little guys that spawn with armor in front of the Shop in the City of the Dead? You can plow right through the whole group with the claws on and using the auto-combo you get for holding down the area attack button and wipe them out instantly.

I really took the time to master different moves to increase the power of the main weapons so by the time I had those floating dark monks spawning in places, I didn't even realize they could combine or turn into something that looked like Aguni from Dawn of Sorrow because i was killing them too fast.

I have no problem with them. It's the little jailer minions that kick my ass for some reason.

Those are the guys I was talking about that I eventually could just wipe out like nothing. Try the Chaos Claws and use the auto combo you get when you hold down area attack.

[EstebanT]

Ah. Crap. I have no idea how I misunderstood what you said. Without Chaos magic they suck.

My review of the Lords of Shadow 2 soundtrack.

I have to say that I'm disappointed by the way the story went in LoS2, and thusly how it wraps the series up. Granted, this may be helped by the forthcoming DLC, but the story of the game seemed much more forced, confusing and unsatisfying than in the first game and even Mirror of Fate. I'll let a bit more time go by and the DLC to see if this helps my stance any, but I'm just disappointed that an aspect that I actually liked about LoS1 was so neutered by the second game.

I was wondering what are your guys favorite moment and worst moment of the game. I will start. My favorite moment was the whole Toymaker sequence, the boss battle, the assembling of the story on stage and the music. I wish the whole game was like this. The worst moment of the game was train sequence which I was bastardized version of the Uncharted train sequence and where the game absolutely jumped shark

[Kale]

What train sequence? I don't remember this...

[Maedhros]

Toymaker sequence, for sure, is my favourite part. Specially after a shitty boss fight with Agreus.

Best: Zobek
Worst: Victor's death

[Flame]

Best: The music. i can't choose actual sequences, I like too many. But the music stands out most to me

Worst: Victor's death, hands down. In fact it's even worse than the ending to me. At least you can swallow the ending as "open ended" or try and make it make sense, but not Victor's death.

also FYI I liked the train sequence. I was like, WOOOOW, I loved that line by Dracula too- "Only I live forever!"

[Neobelmont]

What train sequence? I don't remember this...

Where you're fighting some monster with one horn and he tried to take you down with him.

Anyways Favorite moment fighting Victor Belmont so awesome


Least Favorite moment Victor dies it baffles me that not even 20 mins in he dies. and the riders of the storm that one segment where you have to avoid the electricity ahhh!!!! worst than Argeus I tell you all!

Best: The music. i can't choose actual sequences, I like too many. But the music stands out most to me

The music was very boring to me not one track stands out to me. LoS seems to be the only game in the Los series to have memorable music was belmont's theme being the one for me. It just hit me in so many way that it is without a doubt my favorite song in the Los series, heck It's in my top ten for overall favorite cv music.
