i feel like the first 2 lok games had this very distinct dark and eerie atmosphere that got completely lost when the series moves to 6th gen consoles

What would be wrong with a Soul Reaver reboot?

Legacy of Kain is proof that good dialogue voiced well is enough to trick people into ignoring that your story is schizo made up as it goes collect the macguffin nonsense.

Why the fuck can't they just make Blood Omen 3? Tired of these shit sucking faggots that can't create anything.

>>731244308
It isn't merely "good" and voiced "well enough", not when it pisses all over everything else born in the vidya industry.
>>
>>731244423
Why the fuck do you think they could make a half decent blood omen 3?
>>
>>731243441
You would be right. I think SR2 and Defiance are still pretty moody, but the story wasn't as good and the level design was also somewhat ass.

I think the series would have been better off if Silicon Knights had made their Vorador prequel instead of the series getting hijacked with Soul Reaver, even if I think SR1 is a great game. I realize that's an unpopular opinion, but as a pretty big Blood Omen fan I stand by it.
>>
>>731244308
Trvke
Everyone says how well written these games are, and when they explain the lore it's a bunch of retconned nonsense, not to mention Soul Reaver wasn't even a related game originally.
>>
>>731244615
Gameplay in SR2 was rotten dog shit. The fights I mean. Fights that never stop through the course of the game. Everything else I'm fine with but the combats can fuck off. I'd rather go back to pushing blocks and do puzzles.

>retard ESL gets called out on /vr/ Kain thread

How do you even understand the games when you can't even speak English?
>>
>>731244549
nta but 90% of all games have shit or mediocre writing, so Legacy Of Kain having a better plot isn't some great achievement

Regardless of that, Blood Omen, SR1 and SR2 have good writing and that anon is being contrarian for no reason at all
>>
>>731244797
And? What does it matter how the writing process looked or how troubled it was, if the end result is really fucking good?

midwittoid moment : "I'll pretend as if the prose of the writing and the presence, charisma, chemistry of the characters, or how they're elevated by the voice acting and direction aren't the main appeals in the story and universe of LOK I am so le smart"
>>
>>731244308
The story in BO1 and SR1 is pretty solid. It was SR1 being unfinished and SR2 being a weird rushed mess that doomed things.
>>
>>731245004
Because fans of these games think they're high works of art when they're simple games with convoluted retconned stories dressed up in flowery language.
>>731245131
Correct you're very pretentious.

Yes, genius, history getting changed and events being retconned is one of the primary plot points and conceits of the series. Well spotted, bravo. Do you want a Raz biscuit?
>>
>>731243134
It's been over twenty years and I'm still floored that he was the sword
What a fucking twist man

>>731245486
>Yes, genius, history getting changed and events being retconned
Is bad writing on account of Silicon Knights losing their franchise and Eidos forcing an unrelated game to be a sequel to Blood Omen, yes that was always intended.
>Raz biscuit
Sorry I'm unfamiliar with your third world slop.
>>
I think the only plausible way to save the ip is to make a tony hawk game with Raziel and Kain and to use ai to recreate their voices.
>>
>>731245672
Well aren't you thick.
>>
>>731245138
I think SR2 has the best writing in the series (not by a large margin though), but as a videogame, it's absolutely horrible and maybe the worst Legacy Of Kain.
>>
>>731245771
Concession accepted. Sorry you had to find out your favorite franchise has a story like all game franchises where it's a bunch of nigger-rigged shit with some pretty dialogue that was never planned in advance and was a victim of corporate meddling.
>>

Blood Omen 2, girl vampire is mortally wounded (forgot her name) after betraying Kain and then betrayed by her real master. Kain finds her. Their talk goes:
>Kain, I need your blood...
>Tell me, am I the rightful ruler of Nosgoth?
>Yes, yes I do
>And do you believe that Nosgoth rightfully belongs to me?
>Yes, yes, Kain, please...
>Good. Then you may die, knowing the truth. *slash*
>Aaaghh, Kaaain, noo...
>You should have never betrayed me. You could have been my queen. Now, I'm all alone...
Fucking amazing lmao

This would've probably been a cool standalone game but thank God we didn't get it as a LoK reboot
>>
>>731243134
So how were the HD remakes? Haven't played these since they came out
>>
>>731255616
You can instantly change the graphics to the classic ones with the press of a button and that's always a really cool thing to do in remakes, the new artstyle is good in the first Soul Reaver but SR2 has some meh models that could've been much better and honestly look worse than the original models.
The only thing that I really didn't like was the day/night system, on paper it's cool that they implemented it after the original games had to scrap it, but Jesus fucking Christ some of the zones in the open map get too fucking dark at night
