Oh cool, i did see in your profile that you like LOK:D


Raziel, a soul sucking fallen vampire, is there anything cooler?



This game made me want to get a playstation 2. Along with ratchet and clank and twisted metal black. Twisted metal black especially though, even though they made witches look evil sort of, if you ignor that the game is wonderfull.


But anyways(me and me off topicness) This game looks l33t. Soul suckage and blood drainage.(in more ways then one )

[Kira]

Hehe yeah! Kain is my favorite, he's just a very charming Vampire...*blushes*
But I also like Raziel and Janos Audron, they're kinda cute in a way!

Oh...here's Kain!

If i ever get a PS2, that will be one of the first ones i nab.


Wahoo, evil vampyness. ;D

The whole Legacy of Kain series of games are absolutley brilliant. I really like Defiance but i got stuck for 3 weeks on the stupid section of the vampire's castle(can't remember his name begins with N i think) where you have to glide across the platforms with spikes. That rotate. How Hard? Blood Omen was a really cool game for it's time - i loved the battle sequence in it. I didn't really like soul reaver2 or the other Kain game on ps2 but the best and most atmospheric so far was LOK: Soul Reaver - that game just oozed brilliance and atmosphere. Apart from the end sequence there was absolutley nothing wrong with that game whatsoever. In fact 8 years on it remains one of my favourite games on any system ever. I actually felt like i was in Nosgoth. Going from one area to another without any loading screens felt like i was actually in a world. In fact i'm seriously considering getting another tatoo (i have ankh on my right shoulder) i want one of the vampire clan symbols. And i prefer Kain to Raziel, he is just one of the coolest vampires in history. Kira - if you've played defiance do you know how to get past those annoying platforms?

CCat if you get a PS2 check out Soul Reaver first - it's on ps1 but PS2 is backwards compatible.

[billysbrother]

Well, I think defiance is also known as Soul Reaver 3?


Anyway, I love Raziel.

[Kira]

Too bad I only played Defiance, but I'm planning to play the other parts aswell soon!

[Setg]

Well i hope you get to play LOK Soul Reaver - it was only available for the PS1 though if i remember rightly. In fact apart from not being able to play as Kain, i'd say that it's BETTER than defiance.

[Setg]

Wow Kira thanks - just checked your link to the Lost Worlds and found the symbols from LOK Soul Reaver that i was looking for. COOL!!!

[zehava]

Wasnt that oringinally two different games then they merged them together?. I never played it but I heard alot about it I'm actually thinking about buying it now.

[Setg]

Well the first LOK game was all about Kain. Then LOK Soul Reaver was about Raziel, one of Kains vampire lueitenants (sic). Then they both has a sequel each Soul Reaver 2 and Blood Omen Legacy of Kain 2 before Eidos decided to put them in the same game. Defiance is the latest and is a cool game but if you've got a ps1 or ps2 i recommend the first Soul Reaver game for PS1. It's huge and incredibly atmospheric, and the whole story really is something to behold.

[resurrectedbilly]

I think Raziel is great. He has the soul reaver unlike Kain.

[Setg]

Well strictly speaking Raziel has the Soul Reaver in its ethereal from and Kain has the corpeal version of it - they both have the sword although Raziels version looks slightly cooler

WOOHOO, maybe i should get soul reaver for PSone. I played a demo, but you didn't have the soul reaver yet.

[Setg]

Yeah you obtain it after fighting Kain - he tries to dstroy you with it but you obsorb it's power to make it your own. It really is one of the greatest games on the ps1. Like i said before, apart from not playing as Kain and the ending being slighlty naff it's better than defiance.
Quick LOK Trivia: In the episode of Charmed where the girls are trying to stop Death from taking the policeman. The one with the weird vampires that float - Death is played by the guy who voices Kain in all the games.

OMG really? I remember that episode. Wasn't it one of the older ones that was actually good?

[Setg]

Yeah it was an old one - it still had Prue in it because she wanted to stop Death but in the end she realised she couldn't. On one of the games - Defiance i think - there's some bonus footage of them recording the voices and i saw him and realised who he was.

Haha, cool. I'ma gonna trade this peice of crap(TM3) for soul reaver.

[Setg]

Cool - you won't be dissapointed.

Well, judging from the demo, it's l33t. Couldn't do much in the demo, but i'm sure the full version has LOTS of funness.
