Topic: I knew it! Castlevania: Lords of Shadow!(SPOILERS HERE, PLZ USE THE SPOILER TAG)

[Rugal]

Don't be silly and waste money on a demo like that. I'm lucky and have a good friend in England who has PS+ and let me go on his account for a bit. That's how I played it.

I just have to say.. All my previous doubts are now gone after playing this. Everything seems very fitting for a grand Castlevania title.

I knew it would play & look smooth, b/c GoW3 plays & looks smooth as well.

Impressions sound very positive so far, that's great news. I'm surprised the combo system actually does feel similar to LoI after all.

[DragonSlayr81]

I'm actually glad to hear it feels like LoI as far as combos are concerned. I love LoI's combo system.

Also glad to hear it looks real fluid and smooth.

I love the menu, map, and the artwork in this game. It's really fantastic stuff. Gabriel doesn't look as vulnerable as I thought he was too, it looks like you can die very easily in this game.

Aw hell, there is a lot more QTEs than I was thinking. Damn it.

Combat still looks fun... aside from them though.

55% downloading, I'll probably install and play it tomorrow if again anyone needs to know anything.

PRESS SQUARE TO ATTACK THE WARGS
PRESS TRIANGLE TO ATTACK THE LYCANTHROPE RIDERS

I'm liking how skill-based the combat is though. You actually have to dodge, fun.

well what you expect man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I think I'm gonna hafta take off work the day it's released

[Wallachia]

My faith is re-instilled by what I am seeing and reading of this demo I love the LoI references as well.

do I understand that you don't like the combat? I didn't play the demo yet, but if I'm catching your sarcasm here, your basically saying that the combat is too simple? or too similar to GoW?

MY GOD the narrative.... THE DARKNESS COMES!

The narrative is very VERY reminiscent of "Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem".  ME LIKEY! ME LIKEY A LOT!
