2- We already had them, did no one of you whip the candles at the Castle? :P

Everyone knows that health fountains are for girly men.

I kid. But either way, it's a thing that restores health. Whatever they do is cool as long as it's not a first aid kit.

I think the reason most people overlook the whippable candles in the castle is because they dont actually drop anything, and therefore are just an aesthetic.
Laura and Gabriel arrive in the deepest cave of the castle and... they find IGA.

LOS2 needs hearts, at the least.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

Why not?
eating Pot roast to restore health could make for some interesting QTE moments or even a mini game! ;D

If hearts do return I'd bet they will be collectibles to upgrade health or something.

Have a more Gothic Atmosphere/environment so it feels like more a Castlevania game. LOS had some instances and chapters where it really felt like i was playing a Castlevania game but they where far between.

And please no more God of war titan battles. sure it's amazing graphics but its boring to the player who has to wait for a titan to do anything for him to climb up. No more QUICKTIME events, how is it fair i spend 20 min on a boss ony for him to kill me because of some stupid quick time event at the end of the fight.

I love RPG's so i would like to see some of the RPG elements brought back in. since it was such a huge part of of the series for so long, I love having different choices and stats in weapons and Armor. Plus that way it would also stop people from saying its nothing but a God of war clone if you added a RPG element to it.


They have the elements in LOS for an amazing Castlevania game that the fans would appreciate and love. I think if they where fix the landscape in LOS2 so it's less middle earth and more dark and unsettling and fix the music then that alone would suffice most people.


I was glad there where no Medusa heads in LOS..them things can frig off and die a slow death.....

This is the most beautiful thing I've read all week.

Also if there are medusa heads in Lords Hard With A Vengeance, I hope they're simply the 2D Rondo ones again. Gotta keep up the tradition.

They drop Sub-Weapons O.o

Yes the candles dropped subweapons.
On another note about the restorative mutton chops, they DID reference it in LoS, just not for the hero.
The Evil Butcher restored some of his health by eating what looked like the typical Castlevania chops that were there hanging on the kitchen wall...

Like I said before:


Konami would save something like that for E3 or something.

Then again, Cox is a revolving door when it comes to the truth.

Konami is crazy if they announce LoS2 at E3.

There's NO WAY it could compete with, say, GTAV's thunder (And ACIII and GoW4 and DMC and RE6 and FFvsXIII and MG:R and CoD:BO2 and MoH and Ghost Recon and Splinter Cell and probably BatmanIII and Skyrim's DLC and Bioshock Infinite and... you get the idea)

Everything comes full circle

I don't know, MercurySteam is awfully certain of their games' success. I dunno if DmC is really all that anticipated...at least anticipated for the right reasons. I think people want to see a trainwreck and complain about it. :X
