Absolutely adored Blood Omen 2, I'd love a remaster, the voice acting was fantastic and the story was pretty neat. It's nice to see games like VAMPYR/Control/Werewolf the Apocalypse giving us the chance to play as more of an unconventional protagonist. I feel like most games make the bad guy the coolest character and you're just MEH and never have some kind of powerful/feeling of cool gratification.
I liked how you had telekinesis in Control, something used in some of the Legacy of Kain games. Blood Omen 2 was linear, but I always thought it was a great action/adventure with good dialogue. Kain is still one of my favorite characters.
@@perplexingperceptions8888 I think it's because they went with a different approach with this game compared to the others, I didn't really play the older Legacy of Kain games but that's what I think.
It sucks so many fans view this one with mixed feelings. I guess it's because I enjoy Kain as a character, but I loved playing as a young version of him. Raziel is just too cool for his own good. Even makes his old man play second fiddle to him
I honestly thought Raziel was always a bumbling know-nothing, and at the end of the game it was proven that his destiny was entirely secondary to Kain's. Raziel was always just supposed to die for Kain's sake, that's it.
The story is out of left field, and the gameplay is repetitive. I think the most fun thing about the game is getting a still very naive Kain. He trusts Umah, and he trusts Vorador, and he trusts that the other vampires in the Cabal has his back. Kain in this stage is still learning that he has to take matters into his own hands, and it illustrates the state of mind he'd be in when he raises the Sarafan as his lieutenants.
@@ArvelDreth people hated blood omen 2 because they expected to see continual of soul reaver 2 but for me who played blood omen 1 followed by two, without playing soul reaver because i had no playstation back then but they made a port for blood omen 2 ... i liked blood omen 2 very much.
Even though this is my least favourite game in the series I still love it a lot. I didn't like it at first but over the years it grew on me and I replayed it fondly
It had a very sadly troubled development cycle but I appreciate that for one, it wasn't saturated in block pushing puzzles, and for another thing it actually felt like an actual world. Soul Reaver 1 was a post apocalypse which was a fine excuse for the lack of civilization but it was so weird to me how in Soul Reaver 2 you never encountered a single human who wasn't just a vampire hunter. Made traversing the world feel... Not very believable.
@@ArvelDreth You never really go to any towns, either. He mainly just hits up places full of people who _want_ to kill him, which is really his own fault.
I don't think you really know the series well, since Blood Omen 2 exists only to describe a different set of events because of a time paradox which have inconsistencies with the original timeline. So making a Blood Omen 3 means adding nonesense to the whole.
@@carlosaponte2349 when a paradox happens, the old time line dies off and a new one begins. "as raziel explain kain's emotions at the end of soul reaver 2." blood omen 2 continues after blood omen legacy of kain because of soul reaver 2. #ItsCannon.
@@devincampbell5007I guess..... there were some early pictures where Raziel was in the dark prophecy but, was later decided not to include it. in my personal opinion, as the op says, blood omen 3 should continue off the back of blood omen 2. (possibly show how Kain built his empire and raised his vampiric sons.) maybe also explain how Vorador is still alive. ? :)
Please! Please! Please! We need a remaster of the legacy of kain series! Some game developer out there please get on board with this, I will pay so much money for a remaster.
I'm glad the game exists, but, it didn't really give me the LoK fix I wanted/needed back in 2002, because it slihgtly deviates in terms of lore and story and character design...feeling a bit incongruent with the work started with Soul Reaver 1.
@@carlosaponte2349 I'll spend a bit of time in trying to convince you otherwise, for I value you and love you. This is not to justify my own selfish desire to be socially superior in this conversation between us. The game could still be linear for the play that wishes to hack through the main story, but if it were an open world rpg to explore, there could be so much more flavor and adventure in it. Choice, freedom, developement. Theybare beautiful things. The times change, tech gets better, instead of games staying the dark ages, where they die out they should be proud and honored if there franchise can thrive and move forward with the titans of video entertainment
You do realize it was always developed for consoles first? The first two (and the best two) games in the series, Blood Omen and Soul Reaver, were made primarily for the PS1. BO1's PC port came out a year later and SR1's PC port is a bad joke.
I have played the complete series on PC loved it, and completely disagree. The limiting hardware of the ps1 and ps2 was what made them use these limited ressources and create unique gameplay elements to compensate. Also the story around the same places and people, over and over is a direct byproduct of the hardware limitation of the time. which is what made this series so great. Also the PC ports are great and all games still work to this day. limited console tech was what actually created the need for this awesome storyline.

i love this game, the art design is so unique, not to mention the lore, i want remakes of this series so bad.
I honestly liked it better than either of the Soul Reaver games.
Not sure if they can pull it off in this era
I wish they could man this is truly the best game franchise ever made

This series was really special; enjoyed all of the games and I now want to revisit them all!
They need a remake really these are masterpieces!
the dialouge and story is what hooked me when I first played this game

This is my favorite in the series, the setting is so dark and unique. Can't get tired of replaying it.
Blood Omen 2 Legacy of Kain is an Amazing Badass Vampire Game!!
There's a wide dislike for this game but Blood Omen 2 has always been a personal favorite.
i suddenly had a sudden rush of nostalgia n search this game.

I would love a reboot of this franchise.
Blood Omen 2 is underrated and hated for silly reasons.
Yeah people thought the technology seemed out of place, I felt that it only served to make the Hylden feel truly alien and otherworldly.

@@spatrk6634 I always liked Kain more anyway so I was just happy playing as him again.
Blood Omen 2 makes more sense after you play Defiance.
my favourite franchise, Blood Omen 2 in particular has an amazing combat system
"In this universe you don't have clear cut good/bad characters"
Hahahaha... Wrong!!! They are all bad!! And it's amazing!
Blood Omen 2 was awesome, an underappreciated gem of a game.
Great game, great atmosphere, great characters
Great interview

Legacy of Kain: Dark Prophecy technically would have been Blood Omen 3 because Kain was going to be the character we play

This game reminds me of Mortal Kombat Konquest mode, and that is a beautiful thing
We need a remake of these games
Please! Please! Please! We need a remaster of the legacy of kain series! Some game developer out there please get on board with this, I will pay so much money for a remaster.
I hope there come a new game for ps5 and pc ect...
The only vampire game i ever touched and nothing ever like it.
That's because there are not many vampires games, especially ones that are action/adventure and story driven. Unfortunately.
LOL 0 dislikes! I love this game btw, it’s my childhood
It's been a month and this comment still hasn't cursed it. I'm scared.
Best game ever
Waiting for remastered
You're waiting on something that doesn't exist.
Best game series
yall need to remaster this game on all the consoles that are out today,nintendo switch, xbox, playstation and steam why havent yall done this yet?

but you probably enjoy defiance which suffers the same troubles?
@@ewwwt Defiance was a straight up DMC clone. Blood Omen 2 atleast had it's own combat system.
Blood omen 2 may not be liked as much as the other games in the series but i still play it occasionally.
Honestly never played this game. Just watched this interview a few times as a kid when going through my demo discs.
Моя любимая часть, хотя многие её недолюбливают
How do you get all these videos?
Official Playstation Magazine demo disc. It's in the description.
@@daniel-zh9nj6yn6y that wasn't in the description 4 hours ago let me tell you
@@22freedom33 OK
0:24 oh no that's bad 🤣
So interesting to see the earliest level design's and checkpoint/enemy placement
😍😍😍
Remake on ps5
Wait a second, are you telling me that The Last Of Us isn't the first series were you play as an egoist who isn't necessarely a good person?
Lol
I'd like to pretend the Sauel to Las Of Us didn't exist and was just a bad bad dream.
Imagine a reboot with a skill tree and open world t
Rpg format
That.... would suck so bad honestly.

@@Xzontyr
That sounds amazing & all but it's never going to happen.
The part where they say that you'll need cunning to play BO2. lol No, just murder everyone and you win.
a hastily made game and a plot with a completely lack of depth. Definitely not my favorite.
But still a great game tho.
A great series of games ruined by consoles.
Why do you say it was ruined by consoles?

Ehh... all 5 LoK games are amazing, and on console.
