Great OT! I'm super pumped for this, one of my favorite games from consoles now with way better performance. I just need to get around to purchasing a copy and I'll be set.
Go for it.
I wish GT would go back to doing retrospectives. They were the best thing GT has ever done.

Well my preorder is ready. Just wish it was releasing on a Friday instead of a Wednesday so I don't have to suffer 2 work days without playing it.
The demo on PC was the same as on consoles; it's LITERALLY the first two levels of the game. The stage right after them actually opens up and you get to see more of the central gameplay ideas pop into focus. And even then, the first few chapters are a slow cooking process.

YEEEEES!!! Let's do it!
But its not a clone..... This series had whip based combo combat before GOW existed
I think he means the gameplay in LOS is a clone of GOW. I actually think LOS is better. Though the Spiders in LOS freak me it as I hate spiders.
And Red Dead Redemption!
If the terrible port of GTA IV is what RDR would be like I don't want it.
Not that I could find.
Imagine a walkthrough with a 8bit simon skin *drools*

What kind of mods do you need for this game?

The games problem was never it's looks, it's the awful pacing and pedestrian combat.
They fix those for the PC version?

Well, the game isn't out yet, no? How can one mod an unreleased game?
Seriously hoping there's a mod to disable the glowing fuck me lights from the game. I hate them.
It's hard to deny the influence, even as someone who played the shit out of Lament of Innocence and noticed many similarities.
But I also am not a big fan of God of War and really enjoyed Lords of Shadow. Except for a certain dumb boss QTE instakill.
Skins hopefully, also I'm all for that "remove chapters 1 and 2" mod haha
I cannt speak on the pacing having only played it for 2 hours, but the combat is amazing!

Rofl, okay.
Thats what i am reffering to lol that Lament of innocence had a primitive version of the combat prior to GOW announcement while it borrowed heavily from DMC
I enjoyed chapter 1, but yeah, chapter 2 was just incredibly long and boring.
And while I'm not a big fan of the titan fights, I can't wait to see how they look on PC.

The whole game just shines on PC. On chapter 2 now. Glad alot of folks want to pick this up on PC. Needs more love.

BLASPHEMY, You Heathen!
LOS had a much more complex and advanced/technical fighting system than any GOW has had. Play it on hardest difficulty to see this vs. GOW3/Ascension hardest. Could use a bit of polish in some areas though, platforming being one. And fighting system-wise it could use a little rebalancing.
I'd actually argue that pound-for-pound the scale (battle and vista scenarios) of LOS beats the GOW series in a lot of ways. And also one of the best endings of the last gen, imo.
Is Patrick Stewart returning for LOS2?
By the by, picking this up on Steam when release edges closer or they offer some pre-order bonuses.

I overall enjoyed the game but the first third was too slow and could have been shortened even if it cut out 3-5 hours of the game i had got the game twice the first time i didnt even get past the first four acts
After you first encounter them are there Spices throughout the game?
I bought the full version and played for a few hours (I think I got to the jungle area) and I really disliked the game. I gave up and never picked it up again.
It actually gets better after that bit. From the
fight with the Lycan Lord to the Vampire arc
Try the demo.

I agree, I mentioned somewhere else, they could of taken the demo from any level around the
spider caverns area
both the light and shadow meters, often found myself scraping for health without being to flip between healing and more damage
I bought this game for PS3 but never played it. When I saw it was coming to PC I traded it in.
I really hope the game is a lot better than the demo was
TC: You might want to add to the OP that Greem Man Gaming has a voucher (GMG20-4B9NY-L4FEN) that get you an additional 20% off the game, brining it to $21.60.

Looking forward to playing this at 60 fps but will wait for price drop. Still bitter about buying the dlc for the PS3 version lol.
