Look like I'll be bargain binning this one. I wasn't really interested much in the game either way.

Yeah, given how little I enjoyed the first no problem waiting a year for this to hit $10.

Sigh, I can't believe actually want 3D Castlevania games still. Given the first one had Kojima name on it, does this one?

What happened to you Konami, you use to be cool with Suikoden series, now you are mess of AAA games that aren't even justified.

I liked the demo, so I'm gonna give it a shot. Its already coming my way from Gamefly HQ.

I'm getting the impression it could have received a higher score if it was just shorter. A hack n' slash game only needs to be like 8 - 10 hours. Every game in this Lords of Shadow series has been too long, the 3DS game included.

I knew this and Thief would be bad.


I think these games are duds, because companies are trying the hardest to stay relevant and are throwing money behind projects that either that either abadon the roots of franchise or is just plain bad (namely Square and Konami.... ). Given I do agree with you on the value of exclusives is on the rise.

To be fair, the meta scores for either of those games aren't abysmal. The reviews are all over the place for both.

I get the feeling Watch Dogs will end up disappointing too.

so it seems that reviewers are off the 7 to 10 scale...

I think it won't be disappointing as much as it will not meet everyone expectations. I think it will be as fun as Far Cry 3 was. It won't be 90+ game, but it will be 80+ game.
