I blame the sparkling vampires.

I wouldn't even call those things "vampires". I hope the sparkling ones never, NEVER hit CastleVania.
Actually, I was glad to see old style, real vampires, ya know, all ugly, bloody and everything, and not sparkling "vampires".

but real vampires would just be ruddy walking corpses and not bat-demons.
well, traditional ones, anyway. i really dislike the modern take on both spectrums.

Yeah, traditional, sorry.
Overall, what we were used to before the sparkling age.

and not fag...
People are cool with this shit here? That sucks.

Anyways, voted on the second option! I very much enjoyed the game, but I hope the sequel can include a more diverse, ear-catching soundtrack and place a stronger emphasis on the Castle. I don't mind the overall level format of LoS, but I would love to have a much larger, non-linear castle that is open to exploration.

Yea, a *** huh? That's why he got the hottest girl in CV history (arguably).

I actually hope those sparkling vamps make it to CV, and then butchered quick, early and dreadfully.

Ok, sorry, I'll leave that just in "sparkling". I can't think of a word right now.
So, yeah, I prefer the traditional vampires instead of the new sparkling vampires.

I picked first option, first in line to buy the sequel as I will be. I picked up the LE realase the day it came out. I did also agree with the second option. I loved the game, but I would like more Castlevania music. The music box wasn't enough. I thought the Satan being added on was a bit over the top, and too silly personally. I think Zobek should of been the last boss! His evil 'Lord of Shadow' form looked bad ass. Pretty boy Satan, pretty dumb. The other bosses all looked a lot cooler. Maybe I would of liked it better if he looked like the devil from the movie Legend. That would of probably been just fine. Still though to see Zobek look all bad ass and evil and then disappear made me upset. I still loved the game though, not many games are going to go exactly like I want them to. I didn't mind the camera issue too much, it didn't cause me too much trouble. I'm sure I would of liked one I could move better if it would of been there though. Well glad to hear they are working on a sequel already. It'll probably look even sexier than this one if we're lucky. And as long as they don't do anything retarded hopefully an even better game! Can't Wait.

I agree Zobek should have been the final boss it would have been more climactic. Satan's appearance was all too sudden imo ntm the fight shouldn't have been so er...well hand-to-hand as it was. Don't get me wrong it was a great boss battle but it felt awkward fighting him that way because he's supposed to be Satan, the most powerful darkness imaginable. Satan could have been utilized far better in the story than a final boss is what I mean. Say for example Zobek is actually the final boss and after Gabriel ends him and retrieves the mask then he has his little talk with Marie and still doesn't get her and as a result he's angry at God. Then for the sequel Satan appears and uses the "God doesn't love you" and "join me and I'll help you" bit. But who knows they may wow us with the next story?

Disagree, but I do agree about what she says in the video.
