The guy was falling when he wasn't even moving! I find it hard to believe that the platforming element is that bad.
Well I didnt pay much attention to his failing :P

First 8 hours (text)

So Gabriel can tame bigger enemies and mount on them and use them as "weapons" very cool, first time I read that.
Lords of Shadow is not a game you're going to plow through in a single sitting. On the map screen there are 12 chapters, each with multiple stages and some seriously long boss battles. After playing for nearly eight hours, I was slashing my way through Chapter 3. The story, as told through detailed in-game cutscenes, seemed to be just getting started.
Nearly 8 hours and just in chapter 3, and it has 12 chapters, with 50 levels and you can take them mostly in any order?

Damn that sounds like Darksiders and that is fantastic!

That's some awesome news! Good to see this game won't end quick, and it's filled with content.

This is turning into a day 1 game for me, Darksiders for PC will have to wait.

I was about to post, but I was asleep LOL.

Saw the video, VERY nice.

As me and Raptor was analyzing the HUD we was correct about the light and shadow magic, pretty nice.
I like the fact that once you get the orbs in the air you can decide what to fill up so thats cool. Combatwise, its pretty simple as God of War but I dont mind, the damn atmosphere, music and art is what selling me this, as well as the voice acting.

I do hope we get to use some nice attack magic, for example in the book, which i love, it showed if you used the shards you could see like a big monster type of shape coming above Gabriel in illustration.

One thing I didnt like which most games dont get is that when you fight a bit bigger enemies your attacks doesnt make them react, they still go on with their own animation.
Ninja Gaiden, God of War, Devil May Cry....etc. they all do this, very annoying.

Anyways, I loved it.

There wasnt much fun in what I saw to be honest. Climbing ledges, which is ALL what we saw in there isnt exactly fun platforming.

Tomb Raider ISNT a great platformer either. Prince of Persia is the best example of fun platforming. Tomb Raider comes as the next best thing but I would never consider it to have FUN platforming anyway - it's alright and has its own way of creating fun. In Castlevania, what I saw in this video, wasn't a demonstration of fun platforming but that doesn't mean it's a bad game. So far, I am not seeing anything great platforming/puzzle wise. Combat looks great. Full stop.

and HELL YES, I love my platforming and puzzles!

Fair enough if you like it but there wasnt anything fun about it when compared to other games that excel at this.

But the game is isnt focusing on platforming/puzzles llike Prince of Persia.
Its like NG and GOW, it is there for the sake of adventure and relax time so its not like NG2 were its all combat and it will wear you out, Just to break the pace and balance it out.

and I am not saying otherwise Sath :) Hence this whole discussion really about the platforming being fun in a game that ISNT supposed to be about platforming. It's there to break up the pace and change things a bit. IMO, This kind of stuff should be avoided in games if they are not done properly. it just leaves a bitter taste in your mouth... much like adding vehicle driving segments in adventure games which just feel forced and are not done well to begin with. Alone in the Dark, Tomb Raider, and Chariot Races in Prince of Persia, I am looking at you!!!
