@crash: well, we have not heard anything about a seuqel yet, and Cox has posted on his blog, that no words of it is going on so far...."mini" sequel with the DLC, they happen before the epilogue, they kind of explain what happen... and after playing the 1st DLC, this game was done having the main game and the 2 DLC in context, storyline and so on, you`l see what I mean... ***************
anywya....hey, so finally got into this DLC (DAO is HARD to put down :P )
IN SHORT:
- Opens chapter 13, which include 3 parts.
- It gives around 2h gameplay; 13-1: @10-15min; 13-2: @20min; 13-3: @45min-1h.
- 2 playable characters.
- Around 10 new art to add to your extras.
A LITTLE MORE DEPTH.
the gameplay is pretty much a punch of puzzles put together, don`t get me wrong, nice puzzle. imo and without damaging anything for the rest, the 1st one was very cleverly done.The DLC I think is lacking waay toooo much is battle, it has about 5-6 battles with average of 4-6enemies of the same type, all seen in the main game. No even a miniboss
The game will take roughly about 1.5-2h to complete depending how fast you figure out how to solve the puzzles.
You get to [spoiler] play as LAURA, for a few moments, a nice addition indeed. AFter all is always fun to be a vamp. [/spoiler]
Art concept, took from infamous (Cox has not initiave :P ), but is very well done, the art s gorgeus. I would have like to see that last "cutscene" with real montion, but neverless it was beautifull and greatly appreciated.
the storyline is nothing but an introduction to the next DLC... even thus it has one important event, this happens at the very end. You don`t actually get to see or know much. The "background" that was tease about the 3 lord of shadows, is limited to a picture of them that we already saw as part of the art for the game and some small lines.
I think that for what it is, is overprice. After all even this DLC of now at days, that are only 1h with one quest (very well know to fans of RPG) will have some "goal" with one, at least, miniboss at the end. And even if there may no be some big story, it normally give some nice background details about some event. This one could have easly explore the past of Laura, only having some minor story telling in between.
********
and to give a close to the talk about teh time machine that we had a while ago.. no big deal. It was just a way of changing the castle, a changing castle defenetely nothing new or crazy in CV unirverse, defetely no alarming. :P
For most I enjoy it, but is not worth the 10US$. The price should be drop or sell like a bundle with the next DLC, considering that is like teh opening for the next. In which I expect some real battles and at least one boss
...
see u...
