Topic: LOS2: Revelations - Alucard DLC releases March 25th - First Screenshots

But the most insulting thing about it was

EVERYTHING STORYWISE. Marie talking about "Dracula walking his path of redemption" and Alucard telling the castle that he would honor his father by freeing him from it. It all sets up for that mysteriously absent Dracula redemption story that LoS2 was SUPPOSED to have. None of this "Dracula rules the world" bullshit that Cox is trying to pass off on Twitter. I don't know what the hell happened during this game's story writing jam sessions, but I guarantee there was an ending planned that was not the one we ended up with, and not the "leaked" ending from Bergeron.

"I cannot die, yet I cannot live", "End the curse of immortality", "All I want to do is to escape", "This is no place for you either"

Where's my redemption story, Konami? WHERE IS IT?

This point made it more apparent to me that the ending was indeed changed and that this DLC was made with the original ending in mind. Fucking Konami.

Just split MercurySteam in the A team of LoS2 and the B team of this DLC... then make the B team the A team in a new company and make them the new Castlevania guys. These guys get it.

I didn't want a redemption. Why would I want this?

[Jorge D. Fuentes]

I already foolishly gave Konami $60.  No way in hell am I giving them any more money.
I'll just watch it on Youtube.  I'm tired of this game.

You probably don't. Don't waste your time and money and move on.

That forbidden wing was nuts.

Eh it's $8, there's nothing to lose.

Not one goddamned dime will go to any LoS crap from me.
They'd have to pay ME to play their shitty game.

Finished it. I'm glad Toymaker areas got more time. Slogra was just there to give me blue balls. The new enemies in the dlc were the equivalent to palette swaps in 2D games. You can't travel through dracula areas who the fuck knows why. Playing as alucard was pretty awesome. Still have no idea why Mercurysteam refuses to make you OP even after the main story is done. Hated the lack of double jump.  Wolf form was awesome, not like that shitty MoF one. What the fuck happened to his abilites from MoF anyway? How the fuck did slogra get there in the first place? Who killed him if not alucard or zobek? Why did the Lieutenant sound just like Richard Madden? Why did the Lieutenant call Alucard a lord of shadow? So marie really isn't a hallucination? WTF?

Redemption, you say? Konami might make a sequel to milk this sequel, but I think fans wouldn't give a damn.

And a waste of hard disk space I believe.
I'd rather watch it on youtube too.

There, there, Jorge... calm down. Raging won't do any good. 
We all know LoS2 is crap.

I'm pretty sure he said "You're no lord of shadow" implying that Alucard is shit at fighting since that seemed to be the gist of his smacktalk the whole fight.

Yeah, I guess Marie wasn't lying when she said she was brought back to help. Too bad it ultimately means nothing.

TOO BAD.

Redemption, you say? Konami might make a sequel to milk this sequel, but I think fans wouldn't give a damn.

They had me hooked and then they kicked me in the nuts. Just let it die in twisted peace.

Blue Light magic recovers health. Red Shadow magic deals heavy damage.
Blue Sypha protects from damage. Red Spirit of Schneider deals extra damage.
Blue mist form gives health. Wolf form extra damage.
Blue void sword gives health. Red Chaos extra damage.
Blue Glaciem gives health. Red Igneas deals damage.

IM FUCKING SICK OF IT.

Lazy developer shit.

Watched the entire thing on YouTube. Love the look of the Toy Maker's area, but damn, the majority of it was just a bore. Would've it hurt for some new enemies(wouldn't it have been cool if those dancing puppets actually, well, DANCED like the dancing ghosts in the original series?) and bosses. Still don't like the title boss names, like the Lieutenant. If he had any significance, he'd have an actual name.

Also, one thing I can't help but disliking about the LoS series is, the locations are so beautiful, yet so empty. And the majority of enemies are focused in arena room battles. While I might not agree with Rugal regarding Dark Souls being the REAL CV successor, the future 3D CVs could sure take a lesson from it regarding enemy placement.

[Ahasverus]

LoS2 isn't crap damn it. After the hype died out and the dissapointment passed by I found it (yesterday) a solid entry. Not LOS1 levels of awesome, but solid. I'll put it on par with Portrait of Ruin. This DLC reddeemed it though.

I can agree with this.

I'm actually mildly amused by it.
