Our thoughts on Blood Omen 2?
he's a bit of a twat
Immortality kinda sucks if it means going from moderately good looking to looking like a ballsack
I know it's not really connected by much and it's considered the worst by many, but I still liked it a lot.
Petty? You've misunderstood kain entirely.
how is he petty? he was setup from birth to get fucked over and fought against that
Trying to save the world while navigating conflicting powers. ...so petty.
I wish they would make the Soul Reaver games non-canon and do a real sequel to the original Blood Omen.
How can it be the worst when Soul Reaver 2 exists?
>I wish they would make the Soul Reaver games non-canon
Faggot opinion
I really enjoyed Blood Omen 2 because it's one of the few games where you actually get to run around as a proper vampire and drink blood.
CALL YOUR DOGS THEY CAN FEAST ON YOUR CORPSES!!!
Only once you have felt the true gravity of choice should you begin to question his judgement
GET IN THE FUCKING SWORD RAZIEL
Kain looked like a proper hard gay in BO2.
>baby's first game was Soul Reaver
It breaks the story from Blood Omen and contradicts established canon to the point of numerous and contrived retcons found in Sould Reaver 2 and Defiance. Soul Reaver wasn't even a Blood Omen sequel when it began production.
geralt would kick the fuck out of him in a fight
Well, he IS deified.
I played the original on ps1.
The dev cycle of the game was bad. But the sequel ' is what actually breaks the game. Making voradore a freedom fighter was dumb.

This video explains why.
BO2 was trash
his hairline grew down to his eyebrows though
no mortalk can compete with that

Great voice acting and story, shit gameplay

It was originally a sequel to the game Chakan the Forever Man from the Sega Genesis, which itself was based on a very obscure indy comic series about a guy cursed to live forever after challenging the Grim Reaper to a fight and losing. So he's not allowed to die until all the evil creatures in existence are destroyed. Only to get fucked when after he kills all the monsters on his world, only for the Grim Reaper to tell him to look up at the sky, and then says that each star in the sky has planets around it, and he has to visit each and every one and kill the monsters on those planets too.
geralt couldn't kill a higher vampire in his own series, let alone a vampire like kain in LoK. kain can do every single thing detlaff could and more, and is more competent with a sword as well
I would like to know what the elder god actually is. Is he like a star being like cuthulu? Is he actually just some space parasite? Or something else?
Shit series full of plotholes.
Shit opinion
Isn't that the opposite of what Kain wanted?
It was all intended. The fact that it was a sequel to Blood Omen broke the story Amy Hennig wanted to tell, which was an original story about fallen angels, only to be told to make it a Blood Omen sequel to fuck over the original creator and his team, who already had their own ideas for a sequel and the game stolen from them.
The plotholes were caused by a woman believe it or not. Her name was Amy Hennig and she was just using the series to tell her own story she came up with for a different game.
It's a fact
Also Janos, the dude with wings that flies and can fucking teleport, falls into a pit to his death.
Blood Omen 2 is so retarded holy shit.
>falls into a pit to his death.
Lol that part was so dumb, but he was weakened at that point.
This series sure does attract a lot of video essays from who the fuck asked youtubers. I think it gives Nier and Souls a run for their money
>Is he actually just some space parasite?
exactly this but since he exists in both realms and can see reality in such a way he can manipulate everyone so he can keep eating at the soul wheel buffet for eternity. i thought i read somewhere awhile back that kain wasn't actually responsible for the pillars going bad its just the elder's gods appetite for souls that has been degrading everything.
I'm playing Soul Reaver 1 for the first time and it's a little bit of a pain in the ass, honestly. I never played it back when it came out and it's being the prime example of "I'm pretty sure when this came out this was amazing but it aged poorly".
>Exploration feels aimless and the camera sucks dick
>Most puzzles are pushing blocks for miuntes on end while being barraged by enemies
>Combat is boring, and clunky
>To kill enemies you have to burn, impale them or throw them into water. But if you don't have a weapon nearby you have to use the soul reaver, which you only have access to after you unlock it at full health. But if you get hit which is likely due to the clunky controls, you have to go the spirit world, farm hp, go back to the material world, rinse and repeat.
I'm enjoying the atmosphere, writing and cutscenes but it's like 5% of the game, the rest is presenting itself like an uphill battle of outdated design. I just got the climb powerup.
Is there something I'm missing on this?
It was my favorite.
