I think just about all his Q&A's and interviews were pretty bad. Also him being a smartass on twitter to the most innocuous of questions didn't help.

Yea I forgot to mention his dick like attitude to fans questions, that coupled with his lies and terrible PR makes no wonder why so many fans are glad to see him gone.

And don't forget that he blocked Nagumo on twitter for jokingly pointing out that he lied. :P
It is precisely because it never cared, that people do care.  It's something which it's lacking, because that which it has, it has lackluster of.

I totally forgot about that. He also blocked thernz for asking if he wore his prized Hip Hop Gamer Belt on his head like a crown.

I believe people here actually cited winning the Hip Hop Gamer Belt was a mark of quality for LoS. I guess that is hard to argue against.

Still quite a change for Konami, remember the guy was there since 1997/SotN. Good luck to him for his future.

I'm still more angry at Alvarez than at Kojima/Cox after all, he's the guy who really did bad things to Castlevania. Kojima and Cox were "close" advisors.

I didn't have anything against Cox, but I think MS should have stopped at LOS 1, for real.

Yea, Alvarez is the one who deserves the harsh criticism. His egomaniac attitude was the real offender.

Should MS have stopped at the first LoS before bringing to light MoF and the second one? Yes, I agree. But, unfortunately, it exist that $%&@ epilogue with the "Eu sunt Dracul" thing... I simply hate that part. I mean, the game was really good as a game, but... you know what I think...

My most complaint against Cox will always be the infamous phrase "forget everything you know about Castlevania". That is the main one, among other issues...

That part didn't bother me, though I admit that I'd much prefer removing further sequels altogether and having just called the game itself "Lords of Shadow"

I believe gamers would have respected the developers more, and the title w/ use of titans calls back to SOTC. I very much liked the protagonist, but why couldn't he have just been "Gabriel" rather than "Gabriel Belmont" aka Gabriel Cronqvist... All of those throw backs to CV's actual universe were very uninspired and 1 dimensional. And Gabriel was the only character who looked good and sounded good. The level of detail with other characters just wasn't apparent imo. The levels were nice. The combat was nice. The puzzles didn't belong.
