Castlevania: Lords of Shadow DLC a 'mistake' says Konami

I bought Lords Of Shadow and in my opinion it's one of the worst games I've ever played a lot and I mean a lot of quality problems, the story is simply stupid because there's a plot hole that almost insults your intelligence and turning an awesome game like Castlevania into a God Of War-Shadow Of The Colossus-Uncharted rip off is going too far. Konami is the worst publisher in the world if you don't believe ask to Silent Hill.

They're planning future DLC already? Whay not including it in the original game instead? It's like planning to sell you something incomplete!

Bleeding hell Cox, cut yourself some slack. As far as dlc goes the Reverie and Resurrection packs are some of the best I've bought. The main game was perfectly fine without them, but they're damn near essential for anyone with a passing interest in the story. I like this guy: they did great work and he's still not happy with it.

They say this only because it'd be harder for them to milk he series no that he's actully become Dracul.

Though, I think it would be far better. Show the birth of Alucard or something....

I enjoyed LoS 1. It was fun but far from perfect. Hopefully there's better pacing and more polished platforming the second time around. I never buy DLC so that part doesn't concern me (unless it somehow adversely affects the single player campaign)...

oh yeah it has to be decided from the get go so it can be an on-disc DLC, yeah we all know that

I need to get this game. One that slipped by :)

I really want to play Reverie and resurrection but I don't see myself spending $20 for so little. I've been waiting patiently for them to go on sale over Xbox LIVE. At $5 a pop, I'm down like a fat kid on a see-saw. I just hope I haven't already missed my chance.I don't see what the hate for this game is all about? A mistake? I think not. People are acting like this is how Castlevania will be from now on. Do you really think the side-scrolling's over? Not a chance.

@mrboone01 Newer gamer? Good one. Been around this site since 97 and playing games since 89'. But hey, i'm going to help you out. 15 hours is pretty damn amazing for an action beat-em up title. It's all relative to what type of game you're playing. 15 hours is short for a story-driven RPG, but long for a shooter and an action title. If you'd been playing games for a while, surely you'd know that, right?

I'll also add that while I liked the game I would love to have something of Symphony of the Night's caliber with current tech and production values.

The game itself was one of my favorite games of 2010. I wanted to play the DLC but there was no way I was going to pay 10 dollars each for 1-2 hour add-ons. I'd buy them if they would ever lower the price.

Hey Konami since you know it was rushed drop the price to something reasonable already.

Good for telling us about this (2 years too late), now don't make the same mistake with the 3DS game.

I never bought the DLC i watched the story sequences on youtube. Really crappy and was obviously rushed and after the fact like he said.

Lord of Shadows was a mistake. DLC and game together.

I don't get it. DLC is something supposed to be made after a games release. Like, hey, we released the game but we got all these new ideas.

And they're saying it would have been better to plan DLC AHEAD of the games release?I'm mad I can't even add anything else to this without cussing. THAT KINDA CRAP SHOULD GO INTO THE GAME UPON RELEASE. WHY HOLD BACK CONTENT. ARGHHHH

Actually the whole game was a mistake.

Thanks for telling us that... two years later.

Thanks so now we can be prepared for a shorter sequel with tons of "planned" DLCs.-_-

Now for the 2nd game they're going to get their idea for the whole, then they're going to take part of it out so that they can sell it separately as DLC.

This.

Those that hold the purse strings are little more than pimps.

Can't wait for LOS2!

Should be called Junglevania. Wheres the castle? I want to be spending time in a creepy castle slaying vampires and zombies, Not being in jungles and frozen tundras or deserts.

wow, i'm surprised that it was such a surprise to them... i mean this is Castlevania we're talking about... the name practically sells itself.... however, i thought the game was awesome.. unfortunately, i haven't had the chance to DL the DLC... thats something i'm definitely going to do before buying the second one...

As a huge Castlevania fan, I find Lord of Shadows in it's entirety a mistake. But that's just me.

Wait, this game sold well? Anyone got figures?
