    No. Already own it on PS3.

    Then again, that's probably the only way I would ever play the DLC, because I'm not paying stupid amounts of money for it on consoles.

    Nope. Never liked the direction of the Lords of Shadow series.

    this. Also, hopefully the next one shows up on pc more quickly, not 3 years after I played it. So many things have changed in my life since then.

    Nah, already played through it twice on the PS3.

    And it's not the kind of game that would hugely benefit from a PC port, nor the kind I feel he need to own twice just to have it on a better system.

    All games benefit from 1080/60 :P

    From what I understand the console releases were pretty framey in some spots.

    Already played it on 360. I might download the demo and see how it looks on pc. Although I never did play the dlc so if it gets cheap enough I might get it.

    Yeah, saw it today and lol'd. Had to do a doubletake to make sure it was the same Lords of Shadow.

    Sure, I'll pick it up for like 5 bucks in a Steam sale.

    Played the demo when it came out, game felt like a God of War knockoff rather than a Castlevania game, so no.

    Finished it on 360 and loved it. Might pick it up eventually for the DLC and 1080/60fps.

    If my PC could do it justice at 1080P 60FPS then definitely. The console versions got a little choppy in some areas. I think this is a game that everyone deserves to play, easily in my top 5 of all time. A very beautiful and moving game, one of the best stories I've ever experienced.

    I played it and really liked it on 360 so I might if it's cheap and then I'll play like 2 areas, say "yah this really looks good on PC" and never play it again. Just like Max Payne 3..

    Great game. It's a shame that the beginning areas are incredibly cliched and slow that turned a lot of people off from it. The whole "hurr hurr God of War with whips" sentiment is cringe worthy.

    Anybody try the demo? How is it? I'll probably give it a shot tomorrow. Not a fan from what little I played when it released (then again not a 3-D Castlevania fan), but if it hits cheap enough I'll grab it because why not?

    Already played it through on Xbox 360. Loved it though. Best God of War style game of the generation.

    I'll actually check out the demo to see how it looks on PC. Probably purchase in a future Steam sale.

    It's a really awesome game, and I would if I:

    A) Hadn't already beat it several times on the PS3 and have all the DLC.

    B) If my computer could run it without openly weeping.

    I bet it's really pretty though. I'm sure the people who do buy it for PC will be in for a great time.

    Never got past 2 hours of the game on the 360, but here's my PC demo impressions:

    A - Pretty in 1080p 60FPS

    B - The frame rate actually means jack shit since it goes slowmo whenever you hit an enemy. A good feature for the 360 that was usually around 20FPS, but disorienting for PC

    I'd have considered it, but:

    1. It's not really what I want from a Castlevania game.
    2. I've already seen the ending.

    I'm in the minority of people who played the game to completion when it came out. It really wasn't that bad.

    I played it for like two hours and was bored out of my mind. I hate that God of War take on combat.

    Game suffers from in-engine pre-render syndrome. Half the cut scenes are 720p videos at 30 frames, when the game looks twice as good in real time that shit's distracting :P

    Also it doesn't appear to be a fan of ultra wide setups (3x1 multimonitor), it will straight up just minimize itself and crash if you're running surround.

    Well, I do want to see how the game looks at a higher resolution and, more importantly, a smoother framerate. So I might try the demo, at least.

    I feel like at this point I've seen the whole game, so no need.
