A retrospective of Blood Omen 2. Despite being generally regarded as the worst game in the franchise, for many people, Blood Omen 2 was their introduction to Legacy of Kain. It was their first deep dive into a dark, atmospheric world where you were in control of a formidable blood-drinking vampire. Due to a lack of funding, resources and a stagnation in development time, Blood Omen 2 was less w...

I like the veil of mystery surrounding MediEvil's Zarok. He appears as this spindly, frail looking man with grey skin and yellow eyes. His design personifies the Evil Sorcerer trope in fiction. Just by his appearance and demeanor, we can see that this is a person who has dabbled too deeply into ancient magics better left alone.

    That tease at Comic Con of SR 1&2 being rebooted got me so hyped… and then silence except for this comic announcement. Am betting if this sells well, CD and Embracer will be paying attention as the series has long been voted very highly for needing a reboot. #VaeVictis

    One of the reason they didn’t, according to game critics is because there were major problems with this game. I played this over a decade ago and have yet to see a single problem with this game.

    Unbelievable, how marksmanly trained you shoot the very center of the subject, to explain how undiscussed theme wraps the whole story, almost easy to miss, and thus misunderstand the narrative, but is of the vital importance for realizing all the reasons why things in franchise are the way they are. The question I frequently ask myself is: did Kain actually see his own future with his wings (d)evolved and still chose to sacrifice that amongst all other things in order to save Nosgoth? As mysterious as he is, I wouldn't be surprised by his matured character, that he put even that on gamble...

    What is the actual problem with the Sarafan? OK they are very passionate about killing vampires but don’t vampires eat people? So if vampires kill people to eat won’t they naturally generate animosity against themselves, wouldn’t they expect some kind of retaliation? I’m really confused why the Sarafan are “le bad”, I don’t think the average Sarafan soldier knows they are working ultimately for the elder god (who is more obviously bad).

    I'm a huge fan of Amy Hennig and her writing style. I think that Neil Cuckmann did her super dirty with TLoU2. So I have very little hope that these new authors will be able to do this new novel justice. The lady on the cover gives me DEI vibes as well, and makes me extra weary. I dunno, when it comes out, review it for us and let us know what you think.

    I first learned about Dan through Playstation All Stars and loved how goofy his character was. I looked up fanart of him, how fans headcanon him and everything. I had just finished the og Medievil last month. So you can imagine how blindsided I was when finding out Dan was not the best person in those comics. It was an exact opposite of most playstation heroes so I had no idea how to really feel (his hair and fashion sense most certainly did not help matters). But it does serve well for his redemption, I wished the PS5 remake had given Dan more lines and emotes. Have him react to how Gallowmere gets over run, making him realize how dire the situation is. I honestly don't acknowledge the comic ending. It comes off as them essentially nuking the story so there's they don't feel the need to make a new one imo.

  • @TheEvilTacos
    @TheEvilTacos 6 дней назад

    Let's be real honest with ourselves here: since Amy Hennig isn't involved, this graphic novel is cooked beyond belief. How the hell is any writer, let alone a MODERN day writer, supposed to capture even a crumb of the brilliant writing of the series? We may as well expect Blood Omen 2 2.0.

    I think the best way to rebalance immolate would be to make it use health so any blood you get back would be ultimately much less. Like a 75% net loss, forcing you to use it only when it would be clutch.

    This game was so mind glowingly deep. Even today, the vocabulary used to express this story is amazing. The writing was 11/10. But I guess that's what happens when people create something from passion, and not greed. Its why most games today suck. No one says "How can we make a good game", instead its "How to we get ALL the money?".
