It's cool to see where Lords of Shadow got a good chunk of inspiration, Gandolfi is referenced as the one who made the Combat cross and the upgrades for it you find and it even brought back the Forgotten One in the DLC as an ultra hard boss genuinely one of if not the hardest bosses I've ever fought. Hopefully given Konami's rerelease bender the 3D Castlevanias are next up. Oh and have a spooktastic Samhain.
You know, I've bought lords of Shadow 1, 1.5, and 2 on at least 4 platforms but I've still never made it more than two hours in. It seems so very my shit, I just have a terrible attention span. I did see that Rinaldo was mentioned in there (No clue if it's the same one), but apparently they never discovered what happened to him. I love when series have recurring lore like that. If Legacy of Kain and The Thing are any indication, they're probably already working on the remaster for these, it's a gift I have, apparently, and a spectacularly scary Samhain to you, as well.
This is a great video for many reasons that i'll highlight for a sec to help you with your format - it's very fun - it explains the story - it's a semi walkthrough - it's peppered with trivia - and you also give out tips & cheats (this i like the most) Reading the other comments, I absolutely suggest you to play the lords of shadow saga (or at least 1 since no sequels rule). Right now it's pretty hated/forgotten because 2 poisoned the well, but Los1 is the best 3d-vania gameplaywise (even if many reduce it to "just" god of war); great ost and story ED: another tip, put your suggested links like mozillo in the video description
Thanks, I've tried looking at how a lot of other creators format their videos to improve my own, and change it up a little each time. I'm definitely looking forward to the shadows saga, though for clarity I have no problem with sequels, I just struggle to stick to any one series. I didn't know 2 had a bad reputation, though that does make sense considering I never hear it talked about. Also, fffffffuuuuuuuucccckkk I can't believe I forgot to put them in the description, thanks for pointing that out.
I've got a soft spot for this game. Here's a fun little thing I noticed on an oddly recent replaying of this. Rinaldo's shirt has those thick tassly bits for sleeves on his shirt. That's potentially indicative of him being a Judean. Between that and the alchemical expertise, he may have very well been up to some of the ol' Solomon shenanigans, sans pagan snuggle parties.
You know I did clock that he had a very different design than the rest of the game, but I didn't think to look in to it. I bet you're right about it being a historical reference. For some reason I assumed he learned alchemy from Mathias based on how much he seemed to look up to him. I wondered if Mathias manipulated Walter to turn Rinaldo's daughter and then allow him to live there, but that would require him to have started 5 years prior, and he apparently only fell to evil in the last year after his wife died. This game does suffer from it's lack of pagan snuggle parties, but I try to look past the mistakes of the past. They didn't know better.
