That is because those who rate games have poor taste. Edit: Proof; there are many games in the past that were rated poorly with that time's standards, but today those same games are rated high(people just came to accept some stuff over time). And there is the fact that many good also go unseen by many.
This game was a masterpiece. The visuals, voice work, story. All were done so expertly. Gameplay was simply a product of it's time period, but still relatively original. I truly wish they would give this game a remaster. Fun fact: QTE ( quick time events ) weren't originated in GoW, they originated in Shenmue (2001) on Sega Dreamcast. The QTE system was developed by Yu Sazuki in house at Sega. Shenmue and Suzuki are the fathers of modern gaming.
Rodrigo Alcántara Alvarado yeah but gow was the first one! There are so many awesome games that doesn’t have gow mechanics! U dont need to be a copycat to make a good game.
I fear we are the last generation who’ll remember these games. Remember when buying a game was like buying a book that would envelop you into its world. Times have changed and I fear it is for the worst
Can tell you Evolution of mankind is forever made pointless because of those who have "The Advantage". I choose to believe men like Gabriel are possible, but poisoned by other men and women to be less. The one reading right now could of probably been such a man as Gabriel but life around them and toxicity that forces them beneath because those before us were proven to be trash, and that trash chose to hold everyone else back because of it, using the excuse "but it happened to me" as their hopeful attack to your sentimental weakness within your heart to be nice and forgiving just to force you to be like them, but if your able to avoid all that I think "fantasy" will be reality. Ignore those who said "But that's only done in films, they have a harness." Or "That's Impossible". Parkour artist must of heard that all their lives but still tried it even with fear listening to those saying something like "You'll die if you try that". They looked back and "Bet"
@@theanimeunderworld8338 that’s was more of a man who just wanted to see the world twisted, I mean imagine a cold cunning Batman who controls everything behind the scenes. Including things such as crime and entire governments to the point of being the ultimate control freak.
@@S_Warden "I mean imagine a cold cunning Batman who controls everything behind the scenes." Great visual. However, who would be Batman enough to stop Batman without it being lame and non-canon? Because after an awesome thing like that, we couldn't just go back to the way it was.
Thank you. The video you have provided has a lot more scenes in it, than any other I have found to watch on UA-cam. 15 minutes longer than the version I started to watch, posted by someone else. Thankfully I came across yours before I was too far into the one I was watching. They even missed a whole scene at the beginning!!! Thanks again:)
The moment I saw this game way back 2016 I never forgot it even though I never had the privilege to finish it, this game was way ahead of its time and a masterpiece for those who love games with a story plot. I finished Lords of shadow 2 the same year and the chronicles never disappoint to impress.

Fr, people complained this game was a God of War knock-off back in the day but i'd much rather play this than those endless shitty open world games that pop out every minute
This game is so epic everything about it is top notch. Such a gripping story. Mirrors of Fate was great story wise, but I feel with the limitations of the 3DS it was good.
I agree it's a great story with great characters.my favourite are Gabriel and Alucard think Alucard first appears in second Castlevania been a while since I seen it.Will watch and play it more soon please make more.maybe one with father and son together.again living and fighting side by side.maybe see Alucard have a son.of his own
re-watching the first one and wait for the lords of shadow 2, great job for uploading great game, this brings back the memory of my first play of the game years ago
The sound that the evil witch boss makes at 1:26:09 is the same sound effect from the zombie dogs in the opening cinematic of the original Resident Evil. I've heard it in a few other games throughout the years. It's like the animal-equivalent of the "wilhelm scream."
I also reminds me of the sound of the T-rex in the Land Before Time. ua-cam.com/video/ja8ZDa0g8H0/v-deo.html&ab_channel=RexyMontero Go to 3:09, 3:48, and 4:17 of that video.
Just beat god of war ragnarok and it brought me back to this game. It’s so similar. This was a very underrated game the soundtrack, acting, story and gameplay was really good. Just too bad the sequel kinda sucked but this one is truly a masterpiece.
The way i see this story is that of a desperate man slowly falling into madness as he cannot deal with the loss of his beloved and he goes on a misguided crusade to kill all the people and destroy all the things in his path in order to fill the void in his heart. There are very few games in which the protagonist is secretly the evil guy. This is one of them.
It’s more of a crash out, trying everything to remain who he is, and succeeding, doing it all. banishing Satan even back to hell, but it still wasn’t enough. the one reward he was promised, to receive a miracle in exchange for the dozens he gave. He had been lied to about it. Only then to be put in a position where the way to save the world from another horror: is to take on no reward, only a curse. Would we act anything different in that reality? I don’t think I would be strong enough
This game ...omg everytime when I remember the old times, when I played with videgames this game showes up in my memory. My Mother still posses my xbox360 with this game. I just hope that I will be able to visit her, make sure she is alright, and run this game once and for all
I played this game a lot and watched a lot of Let's Plays about it, and I still cannot listen enough to the voice of Patrick Stewart as the Narrator and Zobek :3
Played this game when i was around 10 years old, before playing any other Castlevania. I remember it being one of the best experiences I've ever had with any story at the time.
Loved this game and no wonder Kojima produced it. He knows a good idea when he sees when. (I don't mean Kojima made the game but he helped it come to fruition.) Mercury Steam are great developers. Also love Robert Carlyles performance and Patrick Stewarts performance.
Me too. In fact I'd buy a remaster of part 1 even if part 2 wasn't included. That's how much I liked the first game. All I'd ask is for the remaster to get a physical release.
"Armed with an AMULET that has led him here, he will begin his journey into OBLIVION" Come on that has to be an Elderscrolls reference they dropped in there, they even got Patrick Stewart to voice the narrator.
Gabriel belmont is Dracula!!!! How did that metamorphosis occur? Wow...wish this was brought up in the castlevania animated Netflix series. Would make it so much more interesting
I desperately would love to see a remake of this entire game series including mirror of fate. Don't get me wrong I didn't mind that it was a side scrolling game but I want to see it remade in the image of the other two. I need to find the other two, get a new 3ds just to play mirror of fate
I really had wished Claudia wad used in the second game, her character had untouched depth. Just cuz they wanted to fuck Gabriel up in the head even more lol
You are a good industry, gaming. You are as God intended, fallible yet capable of great things. I loved you then. When you were free from the influence of social media.
He needed to become a vampire to enter the prison of the forgotten one(zobeck and the other sealed him and the seal was tied to their life force aka why they tried to become immortal creatures of good and created the lords of shadow), since the forgotten one was going to break out due to the seal weakening and well he was kind of unstoppable due to his power as ruler of the element plane of darkness(Gabriel ended up absorbing his power and became dracul, aka the dragon) as for how, he took the blood from the vampire little girl who let him know about the seal and willingly gave him all her blood killing her It in the DLC for this game I believe if I remember where it gave from right
The amount of times his enemies snuck up on this man and didn't use their chance. Gabe is the most oblivious protagonist I know... This game really is plot armor city.
hey, I, love this channel so much,it is very very special, I really loved the walking dead episodes one and two, I really want you to do the full episode 3 ,if you already did it, just say it so I can watch it, I really really love your videos, I watch every single minute of them, ...
Lol don't worry I thought the same thing hearing his voice and the appearance at first when I was playing I was like 0.o then I realized it was Patrick Stewart sadly maybe someday we will have shean connory voice act in epic game
It took me a few years to be able to play this first version of CASTLEVANIA LORDS OF SHADOW, because finding this game in physical media in my city is complicated, because I had the second version of the game in my console memory and later I lost it because of a storm and rain came into my room, wet the console and I had to buy it in physical media too, as well as having the console fixed, which fortunately was to change a part, but the games were all gone.
Both the first and second versions of CASTLEVANIA LORDS OF SHADOW are wonderful to me, BUT the degree of difficulty between the two is very different. That's not a complaint, but even so the game doesn't lose anything to any other version, except for SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT that I love that game.
Patrick Stewart narrating the story is like sex for your ears. The man could be hurling every insult and curse imaginable at you an you'll still be gobsmacked by how elegant he is 😂
this is how hard people should go for their loved ones especially when they love you back. This game is and will always be ahead of its time.
Hope you guys like the quality!
The Quality it's of the best! :D let's hope hollywood don't make a movie with a "Director's vision" and screw this marvelous history!
Is awesome! Ty very much! Keep up the good work!
Awesome as always @
Is there gonna be a 2K60FPS Game Movie version for lords of shadow 2 ? that would be awesome , keep it up ;) !
Please tell me the second game will be done with this quality too? Amazing! Thanks for taking the time to do this.
One of the most underrated stories I’ve ever seen in gaming imo
Until the ending with twist after twist, not all of them being earned.

Lords of Shadow is an amazing entry to the castlevania series! and the fact it feels so underrated is a sin in itself!
I love this game so much Castlevania Lords of Shadow 3 needs to be made
Here's a fun fact: the same guy who voices the Lycan Lord of Shadow also voices Daddy Pig from Peppa Pig.
Daddy pig became the Lord of Lycans nice
Voice acting is a cool career lol

Patrick Stewart saying "Oblivion" while narrarating is inevitable in almost any game, movie or documentary.
I find the narrating to be rather relaxing to the point where I just want to sleep.
Wish they made a movie out of this game, with the same story. I was mind blown when I discovered the lords of shadow origins.

best game i have ever played!!!! part 2 was sick also... mirror of fate was awesome too. please make part 3!!!
🙏Congratulations Castlevania Lords Of Shadow!🙏

I have to say man. You have some skills. Good job.
Just old memories... and the the best...
Amazing game love it so much. Keep up the good work gamers little playground
Thanks GLP.
this game was 10x better than the sequel
very, very underrated castlevania game
The book cutscenes seem to relax me.
Master piece Work
+Gamer's Little Playground. You don't disappoint. Is that Jean Luque Piccard narrating?!?
Yes that is.
Yes, that is Patrick Stewart. He also plays the character Zobek in this one and the second one.
and its also Robert Carlyle as Gabriel funny how most people miss that xD
I would love if they remastered this for current/next gen
Who else remembers when games came with manuals that had info on the characters and lore of the game? Rip the golden age of video games.
This Satan was way more epic than the one in the sequel. They made him like a little wimp.
Never played this but the mechanics feels G.O.W
Love this game. hope we get a castlevania game on the ps5. But can someone explain to me why he became or how he became a vampire
He needed to become a vampire to enter the prison of the forgotten one(zobeck and the other sealed him and the seal was tied to their life force aka why they tried to become immortal creatures of good and created the lords of shadow), since the forgotten one was going to break out due to the seal weakening and well he was kind of unstoppable due to his power as ruler of the element plane of darkness(Gabriel ended up absorbing his power and became dracul, aka the dragon) as for how, he took the blood from the vampire little girl who let him know about the seal and willingly gave him all her blood killing her
It in the DLC for this game I believe if I remember where it gave from right
Gabriel is like what....8 feet tall??
Needs remake on PS4 and5 needs a good vampire game and werewolf game now
The amount of times his enemies snuck up on this man and didn't use their chance. Gabe is the most oblivious protagonist I know... This game really is plot armor city.
Every games Hideo Kojima has his hand in making are amazing! Even this game
Thanks, Robert Carlyle is great, i so fucked up to find his voice, thank u
