Worth it?

Why is this game reviewed so poorly? It looks great.

For the PC version of LOS2? No. The PC version has some rather nasty save issues unique to it... namely the save corruption issue that was patched out of the first one is back, and has a nasty habit of getting backed up in the cloud... meaning it's damn near impossible to remove if it happens. I've also seen issues resulting from there only being one save slot... leading to issues with the DLC saves replacing campaign saves and such.

Also it should go without saying that,you pretty much need a controller to play the game. It's pretty much unplayable without one. Also unlike the first, (which had an INCREDIBLE port) the port of the second game is pretty damn shoddy.

Why are there people who are so terrified of playing games with a controller. not every game is ment for K+M so use a controller. you not wanting to use one does not make that a downside to the game.

Because... because... consoles! jk. Maybe because people don't have the money for them? I dunno... I love playing games on my computer and own a lot of them for that reason. I think it can be amusing when people write a bad review for a game because it is for gamepad but anyway straight to the point I think that it is worth the purchase of 80% off especially if you have played the first game. You might as well pick this one up as it continues the story of Simon belmont and Patrick Stewart makes a return! That has got to be a plus hehehe I have about finished the first game but I wanted to check out this one to see how it was and it plays about the same with added effects I feel and seems more updated graphically with some added gameplay features thrown in at random times.

I would recommend it if you liked the first one at all but not for everyone it seems. On a side note, I really am unsure if this is the good direction for Castlevania as a whole but if it helps to create some games based off of it - why not? $7-8 it is worth the production value and I think you'll have fun.

I liked both of these games it was like god of war meets shadow of the colossus, the people hating on it are castlevania fan boys and people who refuse to use a controller (ive read a lot of the reviews lol). I understand not everyone being able to afford a controller, even though you can get one for like $20 or cheaper, but still i stand by my point that that is not a downside to the game which is all i was getting at really. I will say i liked the first one better but the first is a must play going into the second anyways

Yea I agree, just thinking maybe that is the issue is they have to spend more for a gamepad but I don't think that is it at all. I like playing a lot of gamepad games on my computer and it's funny cause some people I talk to at work forget that you can do this on PC since every freakin person owns a console that I talk with usually which is a dissapointment. btw, aren't you just starting to play the first one? It is a good one indeed I am close to the end and the second, like I said, looks fun. I got to the the part where you are in the city modern times which is cool. Can't wait to play more but I think I should finish the end of the first. Have fun!

Agreed. I'm just saying the game is pretty much unplayable without one as all.

Because its simply not as good as the first. Combat is essentially the same, which is good. The sword is great, the claws are great, etc. There are less enemy types than the first, but the most blatant sin this game has are the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ stealth sections that serve no real purpose at all and make no sense.

Why make DRACULA stealth? It's not just insulting to the character, but its insulting to the player. Absolutely ridiculous that these armored enemies in the stealth sections respawn immediately if you manage to get rid of one. They interupt the otherwise decent pacing of the game. If you replaced the stealth sections with combat sections then most people would've probably just said its a predictable direct sequel, but at least we would'nt have gotten the ♥♥♥♥ stealth sections.

Frankly, I could go into more detail. But its already tl;dr. I like the game, but the developers seriously ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up with these parts of the game.

I'm using a controller , but you can play it with a M/K and a contoller. Tte M/K are good better than a controller for a lot of things movement BUT there are times the controller is better.

[Kenshiro3]

Actually

Actually not really... as one of the keys is mapped to tab... which won't work ingame. Also there's a simultaneous key key limit that will screw up and cause the input to lag and miss/ignore inputs.

Actually i found this game to be pretty gud !
As good as the first lords of shadows !
If you're really unsure maybe check some gameplay to see if the story catch you.

Good luck starting a new game without erasing your old... game still keeps only one save file... including DLC.

That doesn't bother me
the slightest
I can always switch a steam account
if i really want it
