Oh damn, the 2nd one is the only one worth going for, for me anyways.

Fry's Electronics has this on sale for $20 this weekend for PS3 & XBox360 so I grabbed a copy (thank you Cheapassgamer.com forums). I thought the demo was OK but not worth full retail. A friend of mine told me that on the 360 the minor frame rate stuttering could be fixed by changing the console video output to 720P (as oppsoed to 1080P)in the dashboards settings. Well after my 4th run through through Mass Effect 2 I'll give this a shot.

Picked it up at Frys. Super impressed so far.
Graphically it's up there with the best.

So anyone else want to speculate on what the dlc will hold?
Here's hoping there are some new enemies as well as new movies to buy cause I'm sitting on 170k of xp that I'd like to use up.

Yeah the part with Laura was waaay to short in the main game. Also those puppet-enemies were never fought against again.
Coop with Laura or you have to play some parts of it with her ála Ashley RE4.
But the Resurrection DLC is more interesting, if that is set in modern day. Who do you play as? what weapons do you use? How long is it? Who is the enemy? ;D
I'm glad that they deal with that on the DLC instead of Castlevania 2 being all set in the modern age...

I don't know why people keep assuming that. She's probably AI controlled just like Zobek was.Foffy said:
Still haven't finished this.
I was so hyped for this game, but the technical problems just keep pushing me away. Every time I sit down to play, I inevitably run into an area with a really low framerate and just turn it off in disgust. What a waste.
This game needs a PC version!
How is the second half of the game? I've played basically halfway through (according to the map book). Is it good enough to push on? I mean, it is pretty fun, but the lousy performance that crops up is a real downer. I've noticed that some stages run much smoother than others, so there is hope that it will improve if things stay indoors.

The game has some slow down. Games aren't perfect.
Overall the game was enjoyable with some memorable parts. For a third party game this is a beaut.

I beat the trail and on paladin in one shot
Ultimate Light and Shadow both make Paladin ridiculously easy too. >_>

Games aren't perfect? Come on, man, I know what you're getting at but Castlevania is way way way WAY below the standard in that regard. It's REALLY bad. It has serious performance problems that detract from the game in a way that I have not experienced in years. It's much worse than the average game out there, I'm afraid.CitizenCope said:

Just finished it.... loved the fact that the last boss fight was with you know you.
The game is so beautiful and artistic... the level designs are fabulous and the OST is magic to the ears.
Loved Loved Loved the game and I wish every future release Castlevania game on consoles follow this steps... of course if they want to satisfies the old fans they can release a classic ones on the PSN \ XBL... the the major ones they all should be like this because I won't accept anything less than LOS from Castlevania games in the future .
I just can't believe the amount of ideas the developers had for levels designs... a game that is so lengthy and yet with each chapter they amaze me more and more :O
and the ending WAS SO F**KING EPIC!!!!!!!
I think a fantastic trilogy is upon us ( which is no surprise considering the Trilogy is a hit in this generation ).
I will keep remembering this game and the OST for long years to come

Ohhh neat. I guess then if the artwork is related to the DLC we'll learn more about them or whatever.

You know, I always read your posts before I joined GAF Dark, and mostly I agree with you on frame-rate issues. They bother me, but since I don't have a gaming PC I've learned to live with them.
I can see where your coming from on this game, but I didn't find it to be such a huge problem everyone was talking about. It never hindered gameplay for me or the combat. And the game looks stunning, on both consoles no less. By the way I did feel like the framerate got better during the second half of the game. It varies pretty wildly.
Trust me though, I wouldn't mind seeing a PC version, if only to see Octagons scenery pics he could come up with in the Multi art form thread.

I'm ridiculously excited for these DLC's. I'm actually getting LOS in the mail tomorrow, I got rid of the LE and got some store credit somewhere because I hated the packaging and felt ripped off by it. So it's been a couple of months since I've played the game.
My PS3 died and I feared that I lost my 100% save with all the trials completed and everything, but luckily I remembered that I actually copied the save to a memory stick and got it copied onto my new PS3. Talk about an overwhelming rush of relief :lol
brandonh83 said:
Ha, my PS3 died as well a while ago and I freaked out because of this game. Course, I too remembered about my backup save on my usb stick.
Gonna pick up a new system this weekend in prep for LBP 2 and I'm probably going to put this game back in. I love booting up the third....fourth (?) area with Pan and the forest. So good and I love the music there.

I wish the same could be said about my FFXIII file but then again I got all the trophies and I really don't have any reason to want that one back because there's nothing else to do with it.
The forest area is gorgeous but it's a victim of the framerate issues too. God, if only they could somehow patch something like that. I don't know if it's possible but that would be awesome. I think if some of the technical problems didn't exist, even some of the outspoken folks would probably be able to enjoy it more because outside of the technical hiccups it really is an amazing game with great gameplay.
I'm not saying the tech issues (camera, framerate) are the only issues. I agree with everyone that thinks the first three chapters or so are incredibly exhausting and I still don't know what to think about that ending. Other than that though I had absolutely no other problems with the game.

Is the only issue the size? I can crop it for you if you like. I'm cropping an avatar right now anyway.

Finished the game a couple of weeks ago. I thought the
Didn't know there was DLC being released until I entered the thread. Can't Wait!
final boss fight was random and had no connection to the story of the game at all, but the rest of the game was decent.

Yeah, thanks. I know how to crop images.
It's too small for iPhone 4 wallpaper. That's the issue.
iPhone 4 native resolution is 640x960.
I DID find higher res versions and make them into iPhone 4 wallpaper if anyone is interested.

Haha, it's all good. I'm just a stickler for resolution on the iPhone 4. The retina display is so damn crisp, it would break my heart to stretch an image to fit the whole screen.
Not only that, but with the time and date taking up real estate near the top of the screen, it's not often you get a great piece of art where the character's head isn't 2 cm from the top of the image.

Kinda want an iPhone now just so I can put that as the background.
