@@LoneWolfLazarus my mind every day I wake up.

I've never heard a more accurate description of the human race as a whole

This is actually pretty accurate!

I come back to this game once a year hoping for proper remaster. Of course we have Defiance but still..

It's one of my favorite games too, beaten it 6 or 7 times on GC, PS2, and Xbox. Definitely should be remastered someday.

@@virgogaming6488 I played it on PS2 and xbox. But I use it on GOG now, but it's a bit of a pain to get it to work right. You have to make it use less CPU or something or else it will freeze in windows 10. A remaster of legacy of kain games for PS4/PS5 would be nice.

@@livingdeadfitness1528 Legacy of Kain series has been slept on for a long time, even Shadowman is getting a remaster before them. Shocking because Soul Reaver was a best seller back in the day. There's also no practical way of playing Blood Omen 1 since the load times makes it unplayable on a PS1.

@@virgogaming6488 I got good news for you. Blood Omen just released on GOG and apparently it's a good release from what I heard. There were licensing issues before I think. I never actually beat Blood Omen 1 cause my copy of the game had glitches or something. I think you might be able to use modern controllers on Blood Omen GOG version too, but I am not sure sure.

Same asf bro i always got farther and farther but could never save it

Kain was deified! The clans tell tails of him, but few know the truth… (I know what you mean lol)

I use to leave my ps2 on while I slept and woke and and carried on lol I use to go to video easy to hire a memory card sometimes

Sameeee 😂😂

Kain is a winsome guy with a lot of friends, she _must_ have been a spy.

😂

LMAO

I wish it was like that more throughout the game, like, when you meet Vorador the first time or when the nexus stone is stolen

@@Kasunex honestly

sassy kain lol

He has such a badass commanding voice as Kain.

'Cast him in'!

@@virgogaming6488 was gonna say same. Perfect choice. He was also in that show Charmed heh

Blood Omen 2 should be the blueprint for an open world LOK game.

@@virgogaming6488no

Technically, Soul Reaver is the sequel. LoK games run a circle after all.

​@@virgogaming6488exactly, i love control type over kain in bo2 and i really hate the way we control protagonists in SR and defiance... Also bo2 has very interesting city topography

I guess the other 3 games don't exist

200 must feel like nothing in vampire years.

@@virgogaming6488 lol it must be haha

Plus, he slept while wearing the same clothes all that time. Imagine how he must reek, especially since vampires cannot use water to wash.

@@justwannabehappy6735 i was thinking the same, does vampires clean up in some ways or i think that since they aren't alive anymore, not like any normal form of life in the world they may smell kinda like a corpse and also I don't think they sweat at all as well.

@@King.D_no.1 From their portrayal, they're like dessicated corpses, forever preserved by some embalment. I'd hazard that they lack a lot of bodily functions that humans have. On the other hand, the mutated vampires, like Turel looked pretty lively...

Yes german camps

Exactly! If you come close to NPCs they're telling some funny and interesting stories about the hylden, the glyph writers, taxes, stolen jewelry or thugs telling stories about robbery they done 😂 i just love it! Also it's very interesting when Hylden having convos!

"The one I like is the only good one" How can Soul Reaver have a living world when the _entire point_ is that the world is decaying?

Seemed like a decent guy too. Morally on par with Raziel perhaps.

Kain and Magnus is my favorite bromance.

I wish we could get more story about Magnus and maybe even revive him somehow.

​@@wareforcoin5780i wish we could get more story about Magnus! Or that we could revive him somehow.

So sad the ip belongs to square... they arent even the shadow of their former self... this ip should be buy by thq nordic, should to a remaster followed by a reboot or something

@@Ezekiel-pc4ef yea totally agreed. We can only hope and petition

All I want is a conclusion to this series

Most voice actors are dead or close to it just accept defiance also after it kain goes to the future and kills elder god then goes back in time does it probably again and returns the blade to its original timeline since elder god is ded and soul reaver is purified younger kain finds it and restores true balance

They need to remake it but fix some of the plot holes in blood Omen 2 and I'm saying remake the whole series

Yep. It's my favourite too. It's a detour from the series, but there's a lot of world building there.

The events of Blood Omen 2 come about as the result of Kain sparing Raziel from the Soul Reaver after Raziel killed his human Sarafan brethren in Soul Reaver 2. I'm still icky about the canonicity, however, because due to cut content, Vorador being alive is left unexplained.

@@CidSilverWing Dude, the events stem from Blood Omen 1. The Soul Reaver was plucked from a Timeline in the future by Moebius and left in a room to have Kain then find it and take possession of it. Kain then traveled to the past, fought and killed William the Just WITH the Soul Reaver whom also had a Soul Reaver given to him by Moebius. William's Soul Reaver broke when Kain killed him because of the paradox of both blades being present in the same Timeline. Remember that the sword was forged as a Blood Reaver originally by Vorador to be the Vampires' emblematic weapon, and was in fact called the Blood Reaver originally. The sword became the Soul Reaver in the events of the future and from any of the times later after its entrapment of Raziel's soul Moebius traveled to any particular future for the events that I mentioned and plucked it many times as seen on the different events on the games. This leads to Raziel existence as a Nexus in time, hence he is excluded from a predetermined path that to me includes even Janos Audron, Kain, obviously Moebius and the Elder god. My theory on this is that Raziel inadvertently might've given the Elder god Moebius' Time streaming powers when he fed him to the Eg in DEFIANCE. To me the Eg is not really a god as it claims to be but in fact a gigantic wraith parasite (view all the soul eating fiends in all of the LOK games in the spectral world) and it clung to Raziel when he was at the bottom of the lake unconscious. The clear evidence of this is when at the end of Soul Reaver 1 the Eg warns Raziel that if he pursues Kain into the time vortex the Eg will be unable to reach him, but then in SR2 there the Eg was in the base of the Pillars of Nosgoth and claims to be in all times at the same time, and Raziel fails to remind him of what he warned him about previously. As in DEFIANCE when Raziel feeds the Eg Moebius' soul, the old Time Streamer's power would in fact make the parasite timeless and able to rewrite history itself. The Eg may have traveled to the ancient past of Nosgoth and upon its arrival begins claiming to be a god to all of the inhabitants. Only duping the Vampires, humans like Moebius and even the Hylden whom rejected him, giving the Eg a reason to start the war between the Vampires and the Hylden and releasing all the events we see in a cyclical way. So it is clear that ALL of the games ARE in fact connected and mainly due to the time meddling of Moebius and the Elder god, Kain and Raziel.

@@EternalRoman I wasn't expecting an essay on this o.o But I've never once heard anyone refer to the original Reaver as the "Blood Reaver" in-universe. Wasn't this termed by fans? The only paradox I know of with the Soul Reaver is in SR1 when Kain tried to strike Raziel with it - the Raziel trapped in the Reaver could not devour his past self, shattering it.

@@CidSilverWing I basically summarized the entire game series in total so you would understand where it stems from. Also the name of the Blade as the Blood Reaver was said in the game DEFIANCE when even Janos Audron mentioned it as well as Raziel when he ponders on the sword's origin. I have all 5 games and I played them back to back when they all came out and in chronological order. This is what got me to understand the connections. And as of the paradox, Kain himself refers to the Blades breaking in SR2 when he and Raziel chat at William the Just's resting place.

@@CidSilverWing It was a time trap from the Hylden all along. I had forgotten to mention that the Hylden as well in their banishment to the demon realm were also in a way timeless. THIS was mentioned by Janos and the Hylden general. Even Moebius alluded in DEFIANCE that the Hylden were a minute irritant basically to the entire plans. The Hylden, Moebius and the Elder god basically had twisted time lines all over and Raziel is the fulcrum to where events get fixed. When he purifies his Soul and enters the Sword that last time, Kain is now armed to fix the mistake. He has the weapon to kill the Elder god and rectify the past, hence the game ends with present Kain with the Purified Soul Reaver in the timeline when he had let the pillars fall at the end of Blood Omen 1.

A remake with all the original voice work and story, only modernize the game mechanics and physics. No new voice work or story or they would ruin it with modern garbage.

@@SuperEndiku That’d be nice but I think the voice actor who played the elder god passed.

@@darkmerc02 when I say to keep the original voice work, I mean to keep the original voice work. Not to have the original voice actors do new lines. Just take the audio from the original game and use it in the new game.

@@SuperEndiku ah perfection just clean up the audio a bit.

Amen

Vampyr is something you should play then

@@zhitchcresttail3387 will try

@@zhitchcresttail3387 Vampyr is good but it needed a fast travel system imo.

Although with that being said could you imagine a triple A team giving us a game like this with the graphics of today and the story as good as thin ? Wow can we say game of the YEAR

@@adventuringwithjimboslice5278 they would screw up the gameplay

@jasonbrophy5567 I 100% believe that too unfortunately

Idk where u took it from but in blood omen 2 you can very clearly hear dialogs between Hylden and they literally saying that they hate everything and everyone 💀 and you can see extremely clearly that Kain killed in bo2 Hylden lord lol

@King.D_no.1 defiance ends where blood omen one begins. The hylden changed history and the hylden lord will again take over but wirh his entire hypden army instead of just a few who crossed over when it weakened when kain first refused the sacrifice. They exploited raziel's free will and sent him to different times to increasingly weaken the seal that traps them in the demon realm. The pillar don't just corrupt in defiance, they blow up and the hylden can be seen literally escaping which didn't happen the first time. It's a new timeliness and again the hylden lord is more dangerous. And the point is how will this war resolve between vampires and the hylden. Thats what defiance is setting up.

@@NA1c158 another thing is that the hylden were at war with vampires becasue they were against elder god while the vampires worshiped it, with kain purified of corruption and having a "new completely purified soul reaver" stronger than before at the end of defiance and knowing that the elder god is a lie maybe it is possible for an alliance between some faction of the hyldens, there are 2 races now against elder god and a weapon that can kill him, the vampires and hylden only need to set their differences

Kain is the overlord ultimate badass

Go here, go there. What do you take me for, your errand boy?

😆 😆 😆 Love the voice actor for kain.

I thought the tank controls were good for this game and helped with combat, Soul Reaver felt sloppy to play to me.

I hate controls from defiance n SL, as comment below said it's much better for the combat etc.

Bro, this game _is_ part 2.

If a Blood Omen 3 is made, it should be set in our century. To freshen the pot, you play as a fledgeling vampire birthed by Kain himself. Best of all, you could design your playable character yourself.

​@@labelledamedumanor4876is blood omen 2 in mid ages tho? In lower city before sanctuary is a hotel hill est. 1259 but we don't know what year precisely is in bo2! Is it 12xx or later??? How to fit bo2 into our times?

He starts off Blood Omen with regular hands, so we had to get to 3 somehow.

I want lok themed gay porn.

It was stitched together from 2 other games then given a fast makeover. Soul Reaver 1 was originally a completely different prototype titled "Shifter". Nevermind that each title would constantly cut content to be used in future titles.

Soul Reaver 2 was actually the one rushed, and it was originally coming out for the Dreamcast, so it makes even less sense that Blood Omen 2 looks worse...my guess is its because the levels are bigger.

There is also is another sad reason. Three of the wonderfully talented voice actors have passed away that are connected to the series. Rest in peace - Tony Jay, Paul Lukather & Rene Auberjonois. You will always be missed. 🥀🥀🥀

@@Jose-se9pu Afaik the studio that did BO2 was smaller and inexperienced. In the end, you get what you pay for (in this case producer gets...)

I plan on doing defiance but I dont think I'll be able to do the first blood omen since it isn't on pc. Maybe if it's on the ps store I can get it on ps3.

iampanax I am pretty sure it is I believe that’s the system I played it on OR ps plus

@@BoxKeeperLD yeah its on the psn on the ps3

If I recall, the events of this game only occur due to events in Defiance.

@@GameMovieVault you could always setup a PSX emulator

I'm glad someone else noticed it

No hay nada de cyberpunk en Legacy of kain, en realidad esta mas acerca al steampunk por las maquinarias y tecnologia presente en Blood omen 2 y Soul reaver

Nothing cyberpunk about it. The architecture alone doesn't let me see it that way

Grammatically this is wrong. I know, Kain says it like that in the games, but the correct phrase is: "Vae victis!" with an "i" instead of a "u".

Not sure vampire parts work. That's possibly the way the curse stops them from being able to produce "natural" children. But who knows, maybe he was getting it in off screen.

@@wareforcoin5780 Dumah is something close to being what would have been their vampire lovechild in my headcanon. He sounds like Kain and his name rhymes with Umah and both wore purple.

Yeah because the Blood Omen games are about Kain's early life before he turned Raziel into a vampire.

Imo I like those graphics, it looks like kind of animated comic books or something alike.

@@King.D_no.1 they were fine for their time. But people like to complain about stuff.

@@LordLazaruss that's why today's stuff is not same good as back then... not that I am comnplaining but past is better :P

@@King.D_no.1 i wouldn't say that. There are good stuff now. Witcher. Vox Machina. Gravity Falls. But Blood Omen 2 gets a bad rep.

Sadly due to bad financial marketing/spending, legal ownership, lack of a larger audience, a remake of Legacy of Kain that was to be a “realistic and gritty” to jump on the bandwagon of Game of Thrones, and said remake is name only, no characters, lore, Soul Reaver sword, and replaced with some edge lord cringe “vampire”

I'm so curious about what else would have happened in this timeline, since "Old" Kain receives memories about this and urges Raziel that Janos must stay dead in Defiance. But in BO2 his younger self basically sorts everything out. It probably had something to do with Janos being thrust into the Demon World / Oblivion / Hylden dimension here at the end of BO2.

@@Washeek I think the Hylden gaining further entry into Nosgoth is what worried Kain, especially because its implied that they have some means to change the timeline as Raziel had. For example the Hylden Lord knew that Raziel had claimed the Heart of Darkness from "old" Kain to resurrect Janos. However he genuinely believed that he had killed the "young" Kain and was surprised about his return.

He's more of a good guy in his latter years. In BO 1 and 2 he's just out to fulfill his ambition.

@@justwannabehappy6735 He's more of a Antihero.

Hell yeah

It was on Gamecube so it could end up on the Switch too.
