Is there a word for, on one hand, really wishing that an old series got to have more entries in it because it was great but, on the other hand, being glad that it isn't because there's literally a zero percent chance of any new entries being good?
>>722638521your describing being a faget
>>722638626no u
It's honestly for the best that that sequel/prequel game they're working on is never ever.
>>722638521The only great Legacy of Kain game is the first Blood Omen. Soul Reaver 1 comes close and is still good but there's so much cut content that it impacts the content that's there. The rest of the series is sort of junk.
>>722639267>but there's so much cut contentonly one boss and the ending>The rest of the series is sort of junk.soul reaver 2 and defiance are fine in term of writing but the gameplay became completely linear and the puzzles laughably easy
>>722639427>only one boss and the endingThere's a lot more than that.
How fucking terrible would an actual Warcraft 4 be at this point? EVEN if it ignored what WoW plot.
>>722639502it wouldn't have custom games at launch if ever and 4/5 of heroes would be chicks, even if it meant shoe horning irrelevant ones like the gimped nigger
>>722639502Ahhh, back in the days when you could be a cripple in a wheel chair and everyone would call you 'Wheels'.
>still no discount on the remasteredDo not underestimate my patience
>>722639737And the whole plot is calling the original Warcraft games toxic.
Let's be real, this series was completely carried by the narrative and the characters, however that's for a good reason, those two things are really special, Kain and Raziel are amazing character and I really wish we could've seen more of them.Also I'm happy that the series is pretty much completely dead because a modern LoK game would have a scene where Kain fucks Raziel in the ass on-screen and I don't think I would be able to survive that.
>>722638521it's called being aware of the monkey's paw
>>722642346>Let's be real, this series was completely carried by the narrative and the charactersno, blood omen and the first SR game had solid gameplay and fantastic atmospheres.
>>722642672Oh actually I agree, BO1 has the best gameplay in the series, I had a lot of fun with it and SR1 is pretty ok, however SR2 and Defiance are just decent and BO2 is a fucking tragedy and the developers should feel completely ashamed of the fucking garbage they've created
>>722638521The word you're looking for is "delusional." Blood Omen was a fun Vlad simulator set in a fictionalised Transylvania, but the series that grew from that soil never rose above mediocrity, and sometimes sank far below it. You're deluded by nostalgia.Soul Reaver's entire legacy results from a vividly evocative intro FMV that dazzled boys aged 12-14 and tricked them into thinking they were getting a fully realised dark fantasy world, packed with lore and intrigue – in other words, something much better than Soul Reaver. After that impressive intro there are some game engine cutscenes with more of Hennig's ornate dialogue, but these are few in number and placed sparingly through the game, like tiny oases amid the vast sands of boredom. An inexperienced player will probably slog for hours to get from one cutscene to the next. What he'll be doing during those stretches is flipping blocks and engaging in some of the shittiest combat the Playstation has to offer.
Why the fuck did they bloat it with so many block puzzles?
>>722638521Blood Omen 2 was decent and I'm tired of pretending it wasn't.
>>722643356It was okay. I think a big problem is that it's set in a big city but has no big city atmosphere, no sense that the rhythms of life go on around you. It's more like a series of movie sets: inert, quiet, and everything built to serve a mechanical purpose.
>really want more Cate Archer and campy retro spy action>realize what a modern version would do to introduce a new cosplay character to female gamers
>>722643356Yeah Anon >SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP you're totally right>SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP Blood Omen 2 is actually>SLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURP a decent game these people just don't>SLUUUUUUUUURPget itah shit my weapon broke
>>722638521Nopestalgia
>>722638521'OLD GOOD NEW BAD' retardation.
>>722643157>Soul Reaver's entire legacy results from a vividly evocative intro FMVWell, no. That may have been its biggest impact on you, though.
>>722644148Oh really? Okay, tell me one of Soul Reaver's greatest strengths without mentioning cutscenes.
>>722644391atmosphere (soundtrack, world), fluidity of the gameplay, satisfying metroidvania progression. raziel and the soul reaver are fucking cool.
>>722644125correct, new games are trash because they are made by trannies and bought by npcs like you
>>722644391I don't care about defending a game you clearly do not like. Your assessment is just wrong, else SR1's reputation wouldn't be so much stronger than SR2's or Defiance's.
>>722644125That's not really the point of the OP. Sometimes good sequels aren't viable merely because the industry has changed so much in the intervening years, whether it be a matter of budget or trends.
>>722638521It's called being an AGPL-enthusiast, the publishing industry (or rather the license holding industry at this point) is cancer that can't produce anything on its own and stifles the actual creators that are supposed to be supplying its content.Sure there would be some stinkers if everyone could make a new entry or modify an existing one, but that is already the case, just with an attached parasite.The massive budget of games supposedly enabled by AAA level publishers is wasted on bureaucracy, embezzlement and office politics, and no one interested in making a non-scam AA game is willing to work with publishers who will just fleece them and ruin their work.
>>722638521blood omen had better story and gameplay but wasn't 3d.
>>722639161Such a mediocre game lmao
Picrel is the peak of the series.
>>722638521I hope someone makes a mod or rom hack that auto skips the block puzzles, I cannot enjoy this game anymore because they're so fucking tedious and the game beats you over the head with them. Me and my friend tried to marathon the series together taking turns and we had to turn off the game and watch the cutscenes on youtube because we couldn't take it anymore. Shame because the rest of the game is decent.
>>722650761>the rest of the gameThat's the majority of it. That's why I like 2 better. The puzzles are varied and more interesting.
>>722650513Vae victus, motherfucker
>>722643356In isolation it was pretty good, in context of the rest of the series and especially as a direct sequel to BO1 it was pretty disappointing. I don't know of any other game that captures being a sadistic vampire like it though which for me elevates it in spite of its problems.
>>722650823Ipso facto, father handjobber.
>>722650823UghMuhahahahaVAE VICTISVAE VICTISUghMuhahahahaVAE VI-AAAAAAAAAAAIEEEEEEEEEEEEE...The Heart of Darkness...VAE VICTISMuhahahahaUghUghAIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...The Heart of Darkness
>>722650821>That's the majority of it.It is but I like exploring the world in those rare moments its not halted by block puzzles, just watching the cutscenes is kinda deflating and doing a million block puzzles is worse. Having those shit puzzles removed would be a nice middle ground and would massively improve the pacing of the game.Anyway I like 2 but the art style and the combat animations always felt like a massive downgrade to me which I find very distracting.
>>722638626in the butt
I bet this post is about how New Vegas made xer transition.
>>722638521No, but I have a picture that portrays the dilemma.
