Honestly I would rather have a more risky and interesting flawed game then a basic but but well executed game.

We can't count everything that cut content during development as unfinished, that's just dumb.

It was supposed to be longer, but they ended up cutting it in half and ending it on a cliffhanger. Soul Reaver 2 was the other half

>>386301765
Raziel is a much more likeable protagonist than Kain.

>>386301510
Emulate the dreamcast version and ignore the garbage fucking PC version.

Also modern /v/ would hate Soul Reaver if it was released today. They would shit on how bosses themselves are more akin to puzzles instead of actual bosses(I can hear the souls faggots now) and would probably complain that it is too easy. You seriously cannot die without trying. Also the combat in general is pretty eh. Impaling suckers is great though even though it is more efficient to just use the soul reaver.
>>386302279
A butt load of content was cut. You only can get the fire reaver in the game but it was planned for you to get a ton of reaver modifications. Some abilities were cut, and if you could use then, you could gain access to areas that were cut. Even the original planned ending wasn't used. I say they did a good job with the limitations that were put upon the team though. The original ending had Kain being killed by Raziel so it was for the better. Kain was always the cooler character, so Raziel eventually dying in the last game instead was fine.

Unfinished but still a masterpiece. One of my favorite games of all time, and I still load up some of the cutscenes on youtube to remind myself of the excellent writing and dialogue.

>>386300883
VTMB threads have been going semi-regularly for years and they're some of the most civil on the board.

>>386302802
Though it would have removed the possibility of sequels, I actually would have preferred the original ending. A straightforward revenge story was pretty satisfying for me.

so what game WAS released finished?

Tried to make a thread about this game and BloodRayne a couple weeks ago. Zero replies.

>>386303897
I tried to play bloodrayne on xbox but the control scheme is too dated and atrocious.

Raziel is a nicer guy but let's be real here there is no altruism in his pursuit. I like both but Kain is just my boy. I could be biased since I played Blood Omen first though and I liked it more than Soul Reaver. It's really great that their starting journeys parallel so much to each other.
>>386303897
I try to post in any LoK thread I can find. I'm sorry I missed it anon.

I think most games are released unfinished. For every good game, there's a story about some feature left out for lack of time.

There were temples cut from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
There were characters cut from Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem.
Alan Wake was originally, so they say, going to be an open-world game.

My favorite example is F.E.A.R, whose promotional material evidently promised many features not present in the final version of the game. Here's the description of the game on GameFAQs:

https://www.gamefaqs.com/pc/920744-fear
>F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon) makes you part of a classified strike team created to deal with threats that no one else can handle. After a rescue mission ends with one special forces team dead, your team is sent in to clean up the mess. Now you must eliminate intruders with high-tech firearms and classified weaponry such as the corkscrew missile launcher, the rapid-fire battle cannon, and the sub-nuclear blaster that turns enemies to pillars of ash. In the game, you'll experience a helicopter crash, ride shotgun in high-speed car chases, evade assassins on motorcycles, and more.

The game features no car chases or assassins on motorcycles.

And this isn't just GameFAQs going off the deep end. If you type "f.e.a.r." and "assassins on motorcycles" into a search engine, you'll find similar descriptions on many sites, which all but proves my hypothesis that this was a feature promised in some promotional material distributed before the game's release.

http://www.gamerankings.com/xbox360/932585-fear/index.html
http://www.videogameadvantage.com/viewProduct.cfm?ProductID=5176
http://platinum.cheatcc.com/ps3/rev/fearreview.html
http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-360/games/fear-first-encounter-assault-recon/61017

All of these pages mention assassins on motorcycles as a feature in the game. It's all the same copy-paste description and it's wrong. F.E.A.R. is a good game, but its development must have been a shit show.

>>386293409
any more games like soul reaver out there? i feel empty in the inside after i finished the series and read all of thelostworlds.net pages,and i've been burnt from it for over 7 years

>>386304603
Play Blood Omen 1 if you haven't. I know you said you played the series but I notice a lot of people who say that skip it when it is still playable. Other than that, I can't think of a damn thing.

>>386305214

>>386304393
I played the PC version. pretty cool third person shooter with some options for combat. large areas with options on how to proceed. loli robot.

>>386305690
Despair, Raziel.

>>386303897
I remember seeing Bloodrayne in blockbuster back in the day, parents would never rent it for me. Instead I got some n64 platformer where you played as a unicycle.

You know, I honestly can't think of a single one.

Every game I've liked, the devs always talk about some cool shit they didn't have time to add in the post-mortem.

>>386304216
I was actually surprised it wasn't more dated. Then again, I also initially thought the first one was a PS1 game.

>>386305214
How's the PS1 version?

>>386301765
Blood Omen had some nice bits of dialogue, and lore, but it was spread so thinly that it didn't leave much of an impression on me. I thought it was a really sloppy game overall.

>>386304393
Third person fighting game with some weapon pick ups. Big areas and left over loading screens with characters that arent in the game, leftover features from a planned multiplayer etc.

>>386306739
I heard load times are shit but from what I saw, the animations are much smoother compared to the PC version

>>386294147
It's not even as good as Blood Omen.

>>386306778
>I thought it was a really sloppy game overall.
In some ways it could certainly use refining. But as a game, in terms of dungeon design and exploration, it's a far more fleshed out game than Soul Reaver. I'd say that's even also true for the story, overall.

>>386302684
What was the deal with the lighting? Was it ever restored in the 8th gen re-release?

>>386306778
>Blood Omen had some nice bits of dialogue, and lore, but it was spread so thinly that it didn't leave much of an impression on me. I thought it was a really sloppy game overall.

That's literally the entirety of Legacy of Kain.

It's kinda clunky in spots and sometimes balls hard if you don't know what you're doing, but the cheesy """anime""" feel kept me going. It's a third person shooter but also relies on a melee combo system which can result in some great moments. If you ever want to try out the PC version, check out the Anniversary Edition mod.

Are vampires still uncool? When can we get another vampire game?

You wanna guess how I know you're underage?

>>386309658
I played BO1 and all the games in release order actually when they were current. BO1 was one of the first PSX games I had.
BO1 had okay gameplay, but the loading screens made it basically shit because of all the gear and spell swapping required.
Anywho' Soul Reaver had shit puzzles, gameplay, etc.

>>386310210
The loading in BO is an asspain, and combat is a bit clumsy feeling, but the meat and potatoes of exploring is great in BO. I love it.

Soul Reaver doesn't match it, but I wouldn't call it shit.

>>386310360
If either of those games were released today -- even with updated graphical and UI elements -- they would be panned by basically everyone.
I liked them when they were current, and I still like the VA, but they're pretty underwhelming.

>>386304592
I think some people mistake cut features because there was no budget and cut because they were shit. What you describe sounds shit, something they realized was crap and voluntarily removed it or stopped working on it.

>>386310793
Could be, but I don't agree. I played both for the first time within the last few years and loved them, especially Blood Omen.

>>386310210
>>386310360
Best way to play BO1 is the PC version with speedhacks to get the PC version to run at the speed the PS1 version did.

Unfortunately the site that had the trainer to do this is defunct, but if you search around fireden sometimes people post a MEGA that has the PC version of BO1 set up and ready to go on modern PCs with the trainer.

Thanks, I'll give it a go.

>>386309658
Lack of critical though is the mark of the underage. Some parts of these games are pieces of art but they mostly have shit gameplay.

>>386311476
You're allowed to like them if you want, but don't try to tell me they're good, because the gameplay in them is basic, easy, and barebones, with completely shit enemies and mostly shit bosses.

That's only because everyone has shit taste these days.

>>386311905
Anyone that would like them for anything other than VA is contrary hipster. You literally like games with shit gameplay if you like the series.

>>386311897
They're aesthetically interesting, and particularly in Blood Omen exploration is compelling and well-paced. So yes, I do think it's a good game. Soul Reaver less so, but it has its moments.
