Finally. Legacy of Kain: Defiance (SPOILERS FOR ALL PREVIOUS GAMES ONLY)

It came in the mail on Thursday, and I put it aside, whether because I knew I would be no good at work on Friday if I played, or because of that whole delayed gratification thing. So Friday evening it would begin.

Then, I get asked to stay at work Friday night for some server rebootage, and for some server maintenance by a vendor technician. He was two hours late, so I didn’t get home till 12. I was exhausted, and one owes it to himself not to play games in such a state.

Of course, I’d prefer to play a game like this at night, so now I’ve got a whole nother day to wait! Bah!

So…thoughts on the game? We’ve been waiting a while and so far most people say it’s awesome. I tried hard to come up with some theories but there were too many unknowns to get any conclusive vibes. The one thing I’m eager to find out is – the Ancients are all dead – what can Raziel do for them? Maybe he can resurrect them, or go back in time to let them reproduce, but otherwise I don’t see why Janos cares so much about a race that’s already dead. Unless their spirits are living somewhere, or they’re just altruists who want the future to be good.

Oh well, time will tell.

Cool. This is another game I am wanting to get my hands on. I’ve seen several reviews on it in EGM, and it just looks killer. I’ve only played the one for the PS1, a little while ago (was that “Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver”…?)

Have fun. :slight_smile:

Yep, Soul Reaver is probably the one. Blood Omen was also for PS1 but Soul Reaver is more well-known. Soul Reaver for Dreamcast was the first game that I played in the series and it is just awesome. I had a couple friends over with varying tastes in games when I popped it in for the first time, and we were all amazed by the quality of the intro movie and the beginnings of gameplay.

Let’s see…
Mass quantities of Dew? Check.
Cover of night? Check.
20 free hours ahead of me? Check.

Alright I’m goin’ in!
