Trick is to not hold the direction of the jump. Once you see Gabriel look at the other ledge, just hit the jump button.
I haven't had any problems with the platforming.

You just use your crystal attack at the start of the battle. It takes the titan's health down really far, and the runes only require one smash to break.
Definitely enjoying it more now. As others have noted, it has some aggravating moments but it can also really shine.
I'd also say that, on average, the framerate has been higher from chapter 3 onwards. Anything involving a lot of foliage and natural formations seems to run much worse than the castles and villages.

the framerate issues i had later in the game only resulted from tossing Holy Water. playing on 360 installed on HDD and it's pretty bad. the fight near the end with the
Necromancers and the zombies they summon

There's a pretty subtle, peaceful remix of it in the level where you have to find the crystal shards, and it shows up again later on in chapter 10.
You don't get these huge remixes of it, but it's noticeable.

We got this here for PS3 - the disc-swapping to go back to previous levels in the 360 build clinched the deal. I have to say I'm really impressed by two things:
The incredible amount of art, character design, and world building put into the game. There's just so many creatures, characters, and locations.
And that it /is/ good to go back to arcade style, level-oriented Castlevania. Let me be clear - if Iga put out another really polished Metroidvania tomorrow on the level of Order of Ecclesia, I'd be right there. But Castlevania should embrace all of its variations, and one of those is the linear, trap-and-danger-and-death-laden arcade gothic punchy whippin' design.
It's also true that the deeper in you go the more it seems like Castlevania. Given the sheer, gargantuan size of the game and the stupid number of different locals and environments, I'd say they legitimately got better at what they were doing as they went along and it just wasn't feasible to go back and rebuild or rethink the earlier stages.

Earlier in this thread I bitched and moaned about having L2 as dodge and I ask the devs and gaf for forgiveness. After putting some serious hours into this game I understand the decision to keep your fingers on the action. These bastards of the night are relentless.

Finally ordered it after hearing how good it is, hope I'm not disappointed.

rofl. good one guys. kings of the vidya, i'm sure. but seriously.
if you're gonna copy, at least look at the competition. disabling abilities in bayo was genius. bye bye useless crow move.
if they took the time to include stupid chupacabra bits that remove your abilities. why not just let me do it myself?

You complain about the really simple stuff.
Wait, wait, how did you disable moves in Bayonetta? My mind's blanking on me. The only move in LoS that fired off when I didn't mean to was the gauntlet punch, since L2 and Square were probably my most pushed buttons.bubnbob said:
I'll agree that the chupacabra bits were dumb. Having 1 was okay,

I'm only Near the end if chapter two and I already want to scream every time I find a scroll. I keep hoping to find gems but I keep missing them. Any tips on finding more gems?

If you don't go gamefaqs, the only solution is to get close to all camera limits, and when you have a crossroad, hope that you choosed the wrong way, instead of the one that brings you to the end of the level.
It's more difficult in next chapters, because you'll have to pay attention to walls and other elements that can be broken-avoided with powers.

Thanks. I feel so relieved when I find a soldier, only to see that he had a scroll on him. I'm sure I'll do another pass in the levels when I have most if my powers. Great game so far, it's starting to pick up and the atmosphere is amazing.DangerousDave said:There are in the dead soldiers

I need help on how and when to press the buttons on the
boss
2nd titan
I know I have to grab the rock, I've been pressing R2 to grab it, but then Gabriel just lets it go behind him, so I drop it. Do I hold R2 (ps3 version here) and release with correct timing, or do I
have to hit another button too?
have to hit another button too?

Just bought this.
Talk to me Patrick! Mmmmm yea. Great start to any game when I hear his voice.
Very excited to play this!
**Though I did shudder when he ended that first monologue with "oblivion". Ughhh.

people bitch about the quality of the writing but I'd rather have Patrick Stewart telling me what the fuck's up instead of a plain loading sequence.
