Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

I recently bought a 320 GB PS3 due to the fact that my 80 GB PS3 has a bad processor. That said, my old file of LoS was right at the 10 hour mark when the game became unplayable due to said bad processor, and I haven't played the game in months.

I deleted my old file, as much as I hated to do so, and started a new game of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow. I just defeated Carmilla and am now in the Land of the Undead.

This game is a true gem, in my opinion. General Kaliero's description of the game hit the proverbial nail on the head. People really, really need to play this game.

I bought the first DLC episode, Reverie, last night! I plan to play it after I complete the game.

You and your damn PS3! Four more days...

****ing THANK YOU for bumping this thread. I've been head desking for the past few weeks trying to think of a new game to rent on Gamefly (Fallout: New vegas lost its charm a long time ago.). This is one I'm interested in.

You really, really ought to buy this game, Blax. It's reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus and God of War at times, but the overall game play and story experience is magical. I give this game a well deserved 9.5.

My only gripe is the sometimes shitty camera work, but only for a few areas.

WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WRONG?

I downloaded the DLC episode, Reverie, for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow this week and I can't even play the damn thing. I cannot access the main menu at all! Here is what is happening:

1. Turn on PS3.

2. Start game.

3. Opening company credits roll.

4. Castlevania: Lords of Shadow appears on screen with the closed book. Screen reads. "Press Start button."

5. I press start.

6. Notice on left side of screen reads, "When the HDD is flashing the game is saving blah, blah, blah."

7. Bottom of same screen reads, "Accept?"

8. I press start and I am automatically taken to the chapter load screen where we hear narration from Patrick Stewart/Zobek while the stage is being loaded.

9. While in actual game play, I hit either start or select to try to access the main menu, but I cannot.

Why can't I access the main menu and play my DLC stage? Am I going to have to beat the entire game first? This is very infuriating.

I don't have the DLC yet, but I'd guess that, as Reverie takes place after the finale, it's locked until you've gone through the main story. ACB's "Da Vinci Disappearance" did the same thing, where after you finished the final sequence the trigger to start it opened up.

No clue why it won't let you access the main menu, though.

Okay, everything's cool now.

I finished the game (awesome finale, BTW) and chapter XIII, Reverie, is unlocked and I am currently playing through this wickedly awesome chapter. The puzzles, alone, are worth the cost of the DLC package.

Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!

Reverie is an AWESOME DLC chapter, but it ended SO abruptly leaving me wanting more, dammit, more!

The ending was breathtaking! A twist upon a twist! I loved it!

This game seriously makes me rage sometimes.

This game can get rough thats for sure

I've been replaying it on Paladin difficulty, and man, some of the stuff is absolutely insane in how hard it is. Cornell was the first real challange, and by the time I got to Malphas' tower... I hated that level with an absolute passion. Swordmasters are worse than most of the bosses.

I'm currently trying to complete the trials. The two Titan bosses were insanely hard to defeat in under 75 seconds.

So how is this non-canon from the rest of the series if everything is falling into place for it be canon? Sure if they "officially" put Legends back into the series it'll be a little incesty but oh well.
I haven't gotten this game, hope to get it soon as opportunity is available but is it true that the end boss of this DLC is everyone's least favorite superboss ass hole from Lament of Innocence?

Yeah.

I sure wish I could download the second DLC of LoS.

I should be playing it right now, but, no, the damn PSN is still down.

Finally the last dlc came out for the ps3. Beat it in a few hours. Some parts were rather frustrating but once you get the hang of it not impossible just annoying. Gabriel is a force to be reckoned with. Forgotten One was pretty cool as well but I expected a little more tbh.

All in all great game but I'm a sucker for dark/action packed games in medieval times.

It's out?! Holy shit! My night just got booked solid! I am so downloading this when I get off of work!

Yep, got released around 10 or so hours ago.

Is PSN updated on Wednesdays? I always thought it was on Tuesdays.
