    Defiance is a bad(and too easy) beat em up game. Only recommend watching the cutscenes...

    I haven't played any of the games past the original Blood Omen and can't speak for this series specifically, but sometimes a reboot makes sense. At some point rebooting is logical when the entire series revolves around one main plot point. For example Batman is all about his origin story and his first encounter with a half-dozen villains, after that you're just repeating the same shit forever. In contrast something like Star Trek could literally go on forever, as there isn't one plot, if that makes sense.

    The reboot being good is of course the important part, which... well... lol @ concept art, etc.

    Except that there is no game ending the Kain's Legacy, only the Soul Reaver arc.

    Nobody fucks up sacred IPs so well as Square Enix. Well, maybe EA. And Lucas Arts. And..... oh well i guess you have a point.

    Damn, I hoped they canceled the multiplayer abomination. There is no God.

    Not exactly a big loss, judging by the shitty art design and shitty story specs that were leaked.

    Really, the franchise was already in decline after the first two games, when they moved away from exploration and puzzles into shitty combat. Not to mention the convoluted, retconnish mess the story devolved into (pure evil aliens vs. blue angel vampires, WTF?).

    It's quite a bit more convoluted than that. And it's also quite excellent.

    If they made an open world RPG in the style of the very first game it would make a lot of money. Of course Square thinks 4 million copies sold isn't enough, so...

    Legacy of Kain started an an open world RPG? Always thought it was just a Tomb Raider style 3D Platformer with a few upgrades.

    Started as a Zelda clone.

    What voice did he do in DA? He also made VA in Dead Space 3.

    When people say 'Zelda clone' to me it means 8 bit original Legend of Zelda but I'm guessing you mean the 3D ones.

    They mean a top down action adventure game where you get items that let you open up formerly restricted areas, explore trap laden dungeons.

    Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain (PSX, PC)

    Not really an open world I guess, been a long time since I played it, but it was a lot different from the sequels.
