So sad that everyone but (You) niggas are hating on this game.
>>
>>736239882
I don't know anything about this game.
>>
>>736240098
still not a valid reason to not hate it

>Celldweller's company makes a kickstarter to do a comic about a game franchise that hasn't had a single player game in 23 years (there was a failed online game in like 2014 or something)
>They asspull a character that's been there from the very beggining and she majorly influences big character moments + retcons
>Comic is setting up a spin-off in an alternate dimension to the game, because the main writer is working on that 1943 Cap vs Black Panther game and the main villain's VA is dead, so there's nowhere to go in the main plot
>Asked for $28k got $1.5M
>Everyone hated the comic when it came out 6 months ago
>Crystal Dynamics sees that $1.5M and asks the AVGN game dev to adapt the comic into a game before the comic is out (it took them a year to release the comic)
>Makes a classicvania inspired sidescroller with dogshit level design, reorganizes the story so the time travelling plot is told in chronological order, cuts scenes that would have helped the OC not look so insufferable
>Everyone hates the game too
>>
>>736240712
Thanks, I will be avoiding this game
>>
>>736239882
It's just a bastardization of the source material. These devs should have taken a lesson from the great games in the franchise like nosgoth.
>>
>>736240712

How?
>>
>>736241126
it's no metroidvania, not even a Castlevania, it's just long corridors without replay value, bad combat and bad platforming
>>
>>736241059
That's so sad but SOMEONE must have put that dogshit Rise of Skywalker "THEY FLY NOW???" line in the game and it sure as fuck wasn't in the comic, so he has some part of the blame.

Comic asked for 28k, got 1.5M
They added real life replicas of the Soul Reaver and silicon masks of Kain and Raziel
They spent all the money on physical rewards


>>736241360
Yes, Celldweller made Bit Bot media to support other music artists and then started doing non-music projects.
>>
It's an adaptation of that dogshit comic no one liked, and extremely basic. I mean absolutely barebones, super easy, super simple gameplay with 0 complexity or depth or challenge. It's something I would expect in the bottom 3 of a humble bundle.
>>
>>736241502
>comic no one liked
I never saw anyone talking about it

>>736241610
exactly how you know no one liked it.
It's just OCslop using an existing property to try and sell.

the average vampire gay nigger game dev?

>Have Elaleth whine about Mathias for more than half of the game
>Don't have any scenes with Mathias
>Not even the one where it reveals Elaleth's sword was Mathias' engagement gift to her
>>
>>736241756
Who the fuck is Mathias anyway? LoK has so many different characters already why is almost everyone in that comic new?
>>
>There's a fucking HYLDEN WIZARD in a magical forest just east of the pillars
>He has a crow assistant that may or may not be a proto-vampire
>The Hylden Wizard gave Elaleth and Raziel wings

>>736241897
Mathias is Raziel's childhood friend that died after a time travelling Kain attacked Raziel's home village, so Raziel would join the Sarafan and eventually become it's greatest soldier.
Kain travelled back in time specifically because Elaleth told him to.

>In the comic Moebius curses Elaleth to jump around time

kinda kino honestly, just needed a better game for that section to work

People like this should be in construction or agriculture, not in the arts
>>
>>736239882
I don't know if anyone can make LoK games anymore, they had too much soul.
>>
>>736239882
>Look at the steam reviews
>One claims its Raziel's sister
He has a sister? I don't remember her in any of the games.
>>
>>736242094
>Kain travelled back in time specifically because Elaleth told him to.
He also raised the Sarafan and ripped Raziel's wings off (that she had given him somehow) because she told him to.
Also, she immediately comes back to life after Kain splits her head in half with the Reaver, he second time he attempts to. The first time he tries, the Reaver resists attacking her for some reason.
Her resurrection is considered a paradox for some reason, which causes her to be sent to the Demon Dimension, because reasons.

Well, it's a good thing that videogames are not considered to be part of the arts then..

I forgot about this release. Anyway, they deserve all of the hate they get for trying to trick people into buying it by bundling DLC for a much better game with it instead of having it in that game's deluxe edition.

Don't you Hate CD enough?

>>736245448
It's the OC from the comic and main character of the Ascendance game, she got her right hand cut off and replaced with a hylden hand, she got bitten by a super ancient vampire (that can turn into a crow), she has an amulet that records memories and then she gives it to vampire raziel so he can learn about his past life, but when he takes it off he loses all that knowledge. She grows Janos Audron-like wings because of the ancient vampire + hylden magic combo AND Moebius cursed her to jump across time, that's why you never see here, only after Moebius is dead post Blood Omen / Defiance she can move freely
She goes to Kain and tells him to revive the sarafan brothers
She goes to Raziel and with the amulet makes him grow the wings
When Raziel didn't give her the heart of darkness (to revive her 2000 year dead boyfriend) he told him to go show off his wings to Kain
She's ALSO a paradox and Kain couldn't kill her before, but after Raziel dies Kain can impale her, but she comes back to life because she has to go to the demon realm

>splits her head in half with the Reaver
I don't know why they made it so gory in the game, it's cooler to be impaled. Also the animation is dogshit so the impalement would have worked better.

I don't hate it, I just believe it didn't need to exist, like many things forced upon the gaming world over the last two decades.
