Don't get me wrong here guys. As a game, Castlevania Lords of Shadow is great. However, that's not where my concern lies.
Along with handing over the game to a western developer, that meant also handing over the lore and history of the franchise. And as a result, instead of adding to the history, Mercury Steam decided to scrap the hold history and rewrite it. Which I personally dislike. They can mess with the gameplay all they want, but destroying the lore and history is a bad idea in my opinion.
If I knew that was going to happen, I would have preferred the game just be called "Lords of Shadow" like it was originally intended instead of Konami tacking on the Castlevania franchise name to make it more appealing.
