| True Dlc are not ment to finish the main story as I believe in my own option a dlc should just be extra stuff or tell a different character story( just for fun-zi. ) |

| If that was them rushing Id love to see what happens if they take their time, the DLC was pretty good, I enjoyed it but then if you enjoyed the game as much as I did then you would get the DLC regardless. Keep up the awesome work I look forward to Lords of Shadow 2 its gonna be epic |

| Rushed DLC only takes to shit. I hope the next DLCs they make (and thait is if they will make more) will be more planned. |

I liked the dlc, they added in why gab became a vampire in the first place, though the cutscenes were a surprise (mgs style artwork rather than full cutscenes).
If they rush dlc like this...I'd love to see what its like when they plan it! |

| @5 dude spoilers! I'm glad they admitted that, I loved CLoS but the dlc was awful, one of the worst iv ever paid for. 100% looking forward to see what they do for the next game tho! |

| Funny how most companies plan DLC before they even ship the game and cause an uproar, yet these guys don't and STILL get flak for it. Fucking DLC, all I got to say. |

| How could you make such an awesome polished gem of a game and expect it not to be successful? I LOVED LOS, heard the DLC was a bit shite but really looking forward to LOS2. |

| I think there's a fine line between planning methods for incorporating future DLC (making a game expandable) and the current trend towards splitting a completed game up to sell it piecemeal for increased income. The former is very good practice for all developers, the latter is blatant money-grabbing by publishers. |

| @1 I agree with you there. It should never finish the main story, but continue on past it...You already defeated the main bad guy so now there are lesser evils that need to be killed also, that is what the dlc should be. |

No wonder, finishing all difficulties and all extra objectives take at least 1 hour.
$10 for 3 stages of platforming and puzzles and another $10 for 2 stages of boss fight, both lasting only 1 hour, is a ripoff.
The worst is the crappy comic art they use for the cut-scenes, which make the DLC feel even more cheap. MGS: PW used that because its was on the PSP, that game was on a freaking HD console. |

Castlevania games will always be the best when it comes to story It felt pretty weak at the beginning but the build up on the story was amazing.
Also everyone commenting here is reasonable, seems to me that a lot of people enjoyed the game, I have to. Even if is a mistake, it has really PIQUED my interest over the past year(played it last year) on what did Gabe do at the end of Lords of shadow. And the DLC just cuts corners, i want to know more! |

#7 - Exactly what I was going to say! So tired of hearing people bitch and moan about DLC, "that should already be on the disc; they knew all along and are nickel and diming us, and blah, blah, blah"
Now we see DLC that really wasn't in planning from the get go and people are commenting on how bad of a decision it was. Really?! |

| I couldn't care less if the dlc was on the disc, not on the disc, up someones arse or in the toaster. If I want to buy it I will, if I don't I won't. Its as simple as that. |

| I didn't think the DLC was that bad. Of course it could have been loads better, and after this news I now wonder what it would have been like if it wasn't rushed, but it really wasn't horrible. The only downside of it was that it should have been one pack for $10 instead of two at $10 each. Cost wise it wasn't worth it. Of course being the fan I became with this game I had to get it reguardless. |

| "we ended up doing DLC after the fact and in hindsight that was a mistake" LOL. Should have had that DLC nearly finished by the time the game was released like everybody else does. |

| Castlevania LOS wasn't that bad of a game so it is surprising to hear they didnt expect it to go very far. As for the DLCs, they were a nice effort but didn't measure up to being a noteworthy addition to the story/gameplay. However I like the series and expect great things of the continued story. Cant say many games send me about going whipidy-doo-da on mythological monsters. lol |

| Castlevania Lord of Shadows was kinda weak to me, but not bad i enjoyed with it, but this is riddiculous, if the DLC was not intended they shouldn't have to release it, WHAT a Jerks. |

Well then, If you're going to plan the DLC's for LoS2 from the very start why don't you give it to us also from the start? You just keep thinking of profit.
And again the same story... you already have the game at 100% but you preffer to give us the 60% of the game the fist time, then a ton of DLC and finally a game of the year edition but you already said that you have all this planned from the very start...
Keep it that way, you're killing your market, don't you see that if this continues the way it goes now in the near future everyone will wait for the GotY edition to come out and you'll loose even more money?
Think in your market, not in your pockets.
The time you return to do this you'll see that that your pockets will grow again without the need of selling the same things over and over again. |

| There just making excuses for themselves. You should never rush DLC. If you don't have plans for DLC than don't do it. |
