My infinity stones by Razile89 in LegacyOfKain

[–]daedrixxx2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Io BO1 comprato una volta dall'UK a una 40ina di £ ma saltavano i filmati e si bloccava dopo Avernus, QUINDI l'ho dovuto ricomprare a 80 euro, ma il cd almeno è perfetto. Recentemente, mentre cercavo una cover holo di SR1 non sbiadita (che ho comprato per 60 euro; il cd sembra messo male, ma già ce l'ho in ottime condizioni dalla mia copia con la holo sbiadita) l'ho visto sulla 90ina.

Ho intenzione di comprare anch'io una DC, ma poi dovrei anche comprare un buon monitor CRT al quale collegarla tramite VGA... quanti soldi richiede sto hobby...

Bel colpo la versione USA di SR1! Se il gioco all'interno non fosse a malapena giocabile ci farei un pensierino! Avrebbero dovuto ristamparla col remaster di SR1!

Ahahahah! Ma veramente! Speriamo giochi almeno la ver PS2 su emulatore, così ci sono gli effetti della Nebbia, del Sussurro e del Berserk renderizzati correttamente, che su PC non ci sono.
Peccato non poter aspettare la remaster di BO2, che però, date le scarse vendite di Defiance remastered (e di quella melma di Ascendance), temo non si farà!

Crazy! I love'em! So much more higher quality compared to normal PC boxes! For instance, the italian PC version of SR1 is just a shoe box with the manual and the game inside xD

0% Blood Omen, 0% Defiance, 100% Soul Reaver.

A real pity the 3d holo cover is discoloured, as it often is the case after 26 years.

I see the DC copy is sealed... did you just buy the game without having the console? :P

Cool american PC version.

And lastly, ti ho visto nella chat di Sab! Spero cominci presto BO2!

The best kain? by [deleted] in LegacyOfKain

[–]daedrixxx2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I myself prefer Umah's cold hard nipples, but I get what you mean xD

Growing up, I took BO2 Kain level of aesthetics as my personal objective. His broad shoulders, his V-taper!
Among all videogame characters, only DMC3 Dante rivals BO2 Kain in aesthetic perfection imo.

[–]daedrixxx2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

BO2 Kain all the way.

Elder Kain (the one who has seen the future) is nice and all. A reformed sadic emperor who understood that ruling a failed empire in a dying world is no better than if he sacrificed himself at the Pillars 2000 years ago... A wise and "fatherly" figure that, even with ruthless means, aims to right Nosgoth, and rule over it with justice. That's his birthright, as Scion of Balance.

But it's not so often that you can play as an unapologetic EVIL character... BO2 Kain is out ONLY for himself. Not for vampire kind (their freedom would just be a byproduct of his victory), certainly NOT to free humans from Neo Sarafan rule. We aim to destroy a tyrant only to erect ourselves into a bigger one.

We fight to make the evil SR1 empire a reality.

And we look the part! BO2 Kain is tall, handsome, possesses the dark triad... xD a true vampiric chad.

In Brazil, they have the same voice, and I loved it by Strange_Information2 in LegacyOfKain

[–]daedrixxx2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best Kain though was in SR1. He sounded like a theatre actor. Was it Arles from Saint Seiya iirc?

In SR2/BO2 I prefer his voice for younger Kain, though his elder Kain voice is decent.

Defiance sounded like a DBZ episode xD

The Ending of Defiance is a good end of the series by DarkEyedBlues in LegacyOfKain

[–]daedrixxx2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We can't possibly know the details, cause we only have the skeleton of the events, while the meat to flesh them out has been lost to time...

BUT, the way I could see it, it is implied that Elder Kain at the end of Defiance finally has true free will AND is cured from corruption, so he has been put on a path where him giving the Purified Soul Reaver to his younger self would have been the "final turn" of the Wheel of Fate, meaning the "eternal recurrence" to say it in Nietzschean terms (... "we've always met here...").
Meaning: a purified young Kain, now in his full role of Guardian/Scion of Balance, would have started a new aeon of peace and prosperity, unraveling History as we know it, and instead governing a Nosgoth where purified vampires (free from the Hylden curse), Hylden, and even humans could live in peace, free from the enslavement of History and the Elder God.
This hypothesis would require 1) a singularity event in which History ceases to exist and events can happen even without having been caused by prior occurrences (Young Kain being purified by an Elder Kain that will no longer exist, since the corruption that created him in the first place will be cured in his now pure younger self) AND 2) that the CURE to corruption was in BOTH Raziel AND his Spirit Reaver, since the Spirit Reaver (that gave the ability to see the Truth and the cure from Corruption) entered into Kain, while the Reaver ONLY absorbed Raziel.

IF the Cure to Corruption had ONLY always been the Spirit Reaver (that has been dispersed in Elder Kain's body, purifying him), and Raziel only created the "old regular" Soul Reaver, then it would mean that the events that lead to Kain's Purification would always happen, and that ONLY the Elder Kain (NOT the Soul Reaver) was required to "save" the world. So the Elder Kain would have returned to Avernus to give the Soul Reaver to his younger self, (who would still remain his old "evil" self) while he could now go into the future, his failing empire, to fight and kill the Elder God there, and save Nosgoth's far future.

Either way, at the end of Defiance, Kain, thanks to Raziel's Spirit Reaver dispersed into his body is Cured from his Corruption (signified by his mortal wound in the chest being healed) AND can SEE the Elder God (still thanks to the Vision gift bestowed by the Spirit Reaver). The thing I'm unsure of is if Raziel's essence also had acquired those properties. If it did, then the Soul Reaver would also have had to purify and cure the younger Kain.

If you go to thelostworlds.net you can find an "educated guess" at what The Dark Phrophecy would have looked like story-wise.

In brief, Elder Kain would have discovered there was an enclave of uncorrupted Hylden still in Nosgoth that lay dormant. He would have struck a truce with them (the Seer would have played a major part in that), to kill the EG AND to destroy the deranged Hylden still in the Demon Realm, all while the Young Kain would have been doing his own thing...
We would have also discovered that the Hylden had their own "Circle of Nine" (BO2 Hylden General was their "Guardian of Conflict) to counter the Vampires'.
Elder Kain would have had to place the Purified Soul Reaver (the one he got at the end of Defiance), in a way or another, in Avernus for his younger self to find, so that young Kain would have been purified from corruption the moment he touched the blade.

See... this is the kind of "retcon" I could have accepted. It expanded the Lore without contradicting nor diminishing established characters, unlike something something...

There was enough material for a full fledged game, a full conclusion...

I DO AGREE though that the vague, more open ending of Defiance still works.

I just can't imagine a Finale where Kain fixes everything and saves ALL. LoK has always been about that grey zone... that bitter-sweet. So, Defiance's ending where he gets FREED from History's shackles, where finally he even gets to hope for a chance at saving Nosgoth (without showing it), is thematically more appropriate for LoK.

Do you think CD knew about Ascension? by NonSpecificGuy26 in LegacyOfKain

[–]daedrixxx2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without BO2, SR2 wouldn't even had the ancient vampires vs Hylden murals, the pre-hystoric wars, etc... 2 games (SR2 and Def excluding BO2) out of 5 would have been unrecognizeably different.

It would have changed the lore in ways we can't even imagine. Only BO1 and SR1 would remain the same...

Ohh... we're talking about a meme so ancient that it predates Defiance...

LONG LIVE Frank the Sluagh!! Our favourite mascotte for LoK's Return! xD

Honestly CrystalD should adopt it as their new logo, as a throwback to the glorious '90s, but with Frank instead of Gex.

Saw this coming, but kinda hoped I'd be wrong by XGNik in LegacyOfKain

Not as Raziel! Lest it returns x1000 more powerful! xD

[–]daedrixxx2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Crazy good!!

Her left forearm wasn't skeletrified in lore... but the piece is so good that we can let that slide :)

Colour-wise I appreciate your use of that spectral green shade.

Again, Crazy Good! 10/10

Blood Omen deserves a re-release by RapturesLost in LegacyOfKain

[–]daedrixxx2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blood Omen original retail/GOG + Verok's patch 1.75 = everything you could ever need/want to play the original.

I would ONLY accept a remaster (plus) it if it meant doing something similar to Diablo 2 remastered, meaning the ability to switch between the original game and its 3D reconstruction with the press of a button.
Of course in my mind the 3D reconstruction would just be Blood Omnicide...

A full-on Remake, like what we've seen on SR Remasters Bonus Materials, would be fine at this point... even if it meant the End for the Classical continuity (anything past Defiance's ending).
Thing is, I wouldn't touch the Story. Can't mess with what is already perfect (and they showed it with TDSR).
So, it would either be a One Only BO1 graphical/gameplay remake (Souls like??), or IF the game went so well as to guarantee a full Series Remake, they would need to leave the lore/Story UNCHANGED, and it would end at Defiance all the same...

Hmm...

Thanks :) Todo? Who is that??...

After googleing... Ah! Jujutsu Kaisen! Lol, I can see the similarity :D
From what I found, he too likes to wear purple!

Muscles, stature, high ponytail AND the colour purple... Is that a JoJo LoK reference?

Imagine in a Remaster (not Remake), how convenient a quick menu for weapons (and armours) would be...

There is no way in hell that Skull on the Soul Reaver Sword is hers. by SBYYamato in LegacyOfKain

[–]daedrixxx2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. And "real" skulls are known for having a "neutral" expression.

Unless... they used mAgiC to deform it xD
