Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen

Help me out here kind anons. Is there any way to get a working version of Blood Omen that isn't the shitty PS1 version?

It's neither on Steam nor on GOG and I can't find any collections either. And of course I don't have my CD copy anymore.

Bump! Onegai!

Bump.

Someone uploaded one that should work, hold on.

>Sent ;)

Please don't do this to me user

Got my on pie rat bay back in the day. There's also a custom fan made patch that makes the game run at correct speed instead of being slow as fuck.

The specific link I found doesn't work anymore; I'm uploading it but the site keeps slowing it down.

Fucking finally. Try this

Cheers user, gonna try it. Also I found a few links on piratebay. Didn't think to check there cause I use other usually don't use torrents.

...

Damn it user, I'm a phoneposting fag and I can't read this.

>tfw got Kain's sigil tattooed on the back of my forearm
>inb4 gaming tattoos reeeeeee

Shame there'll never be more of these games
Soul reaver 2 was one of my defining games of my early teen years, the story gripped me like nothing has since
Blood omen 2 wasn't as good but I still really enjoyed it

...

>Shame there'll never be more of these games

I think we should be glad. They wouldn't ever do it justice and as it stands LoK remains one of the few mostly untainted great series in gaming.

I saw enough footage of Dead Sun to know that sometimes dead is better

just a reminder

I used to have an issue using epcxe for Legacy of Kain.
Basically it would hide certain parts and run like ass until I figured out how to make it work.
I just needed to change the settings in graphics down the bottom to 1-3-2 to basically emulate everything and it ran perfect after that.

Legacy of Kain was one of the very first games I played and the very first series of games I actually followed

I really miss it

I'm glad the IP is dead. No one in the industry can do it justice. If a legacy of kain game was made today it would be an abomination.

Blood Omen 3 by Super Giant Games let's go

That was legit fun. And the whole lore rape was very VERY overblown, the game barely had any lore to start with. It was vampires vs humans.

A shame it went belly up but I expected it.

>It'd look like this

Seconded. Had fun with the game when it first came out. Didn't even know it went belly up tho.

Please don't be dolphin porn
I just wanna play old games

Did the tattoo artist ask you what it was?

>n-nothing, it's uhhh.... it's just from a videogame...

user, you did a good job today.

VAE VICTUS!

It looked like it had potential more than Nosgoth which is dead now due to Square Enix killing the servers.

Best.
Time.
Game.
Plot.
Fucking.
Ever.
Holy fuck Silicon Knights do great stories, Legacy of Kain and Eternal Darkness are two of my favorite games.

Pretty much exactly how it went.

Will it work right away or will you need to tweak settings in DOSBox?

Thanks user, you actually delivered.

So I'm trying out anons version and it seems slow which is a known problem I guess but the booster trainer Google links me to is dead. Any way around this?

It should work right away.

honestly as a PC guy, better to dl the iso and use a psx emulator.

>that filename

That wasn't the Soul Reaver yet, user. At that point it was still the Blood Reaver. If Raziel killed Raziel with the Wraith Blade, then it would've been Raziel killing Raziel with Raziel.

whoops wrong link

Load times are pretty bad.
I am just glad its not a super long game.

But the PS version has such terrible loading times everywhere.

Silicon Knights only did the first one though? Or am I missing something

>Raziel killing Raziel with Raziel

Causality was a mistake.

that's the beauty of emulators that let you skip them using your comps cpu

I don't think any has that option.
Its not "load loading" its simply that its a early PS1 game, so early that Data Streaming wasn't a thing yet

Basically it can't play music/vocals from CD, and load at the same time.

psxe already loads games faster than actual hardware.

>chowever chowdy contempt

Doesn't really help when you accidentally hit any of the menu keys, and then you sit down and just wait for the current audio loop to end.
Its a part of the experience.

Remember: Shape shifting is under a load menu, so is the spell and item wheel.

Does really no one have a copy of the trainer that boosts game speed? Damn shame, lads.

Yeah both versions psx and PC both are unoptimized sadly.

Because game is fast enough?
Half the experience is using werewolf form to breeze trough massive areas.

...

No dude the PC version is running on slow mo. There has been a trainer that boosts the game but the site it's supposed to be on is dead.

thelostworlds.net/Software/Blood_Omen_Trainer.html
took a second on google.

That ain't no speed booster

haven't tried it personally but does it just modify registry variables or what?
not trying to be a dick user, just wondering if regedit could solve the issues or what.

I dunno man, really not that deep into registry editing. That trainer is more for cheat codes than fixing the way BO runs on modern systems I guess.

It'll never be finished :(
:( so goddamn hard.

Obi-Raziel talking to Kain through the reaver leading him to the most awesome destiny won't happen. Fuck Crystal Dynamics, Eidos and SE for just doubling down on Tomb Raider.

At this stage I'm torn. Because:
A) We would have gotten this and if it were successful they would mold any possible sequels upon that
B) I don't necessarily like where Dead Sun was heading, but I still want the franchise to stay alive.

this might sound really dumb, user, but sometimes with old games the speedup issues get fixed by setting the game's affinity to only one core of a processor.

have you tried that? you can do it in task manager.

...

The final segment was nice.
Even if the combat was complete shit

Tried it just now, unfortunately it already runs on a single core. Thanks anyway

Abandonia + mount with daemontools

problem solved.

Which version of Soul Reaver 2 is worth playing? I have the PC version in my Steam library, but I could also potentially emulate the PS2 version if it's superior.

When I played SR1, I owned the PC version but still played the Dreamcast version because of the better graphics. Nothing wrong with that.

Also, is Blood Omen 2 worth playing?

Most of Blood Omen soundtrack is better than Soul Reavers.
That said, Ozar Midrashim is pretty great, and the better OST pieces is used far more effectivly in Soul Reaver.

>Also, is Blood Omen 2 worth playing?
If you're a MUH STORY kinda guy, skip it. If you enjoy these vidyas for the gritty atmosphere and combat mechanics, go for it.
Also have in mind that BO2 is from very early in the PS2 cycle so even by PS2 standards the game looks and plays pretty weird

>FUCK YOU VAMPIRE

Blood Omen 2 starts off pretty bad.
But after a few bosses, it starts looking good.

I'm fucking getting PETA on your ass right now, you sick fuck.

Blood Omen 2 is mostly awful and never becomes anything more than mediocre. Skip it entirely.

doesnt give the game any justice, was written by a retard

Not to mention it's wrong at various points.

Is the DC version of Soul Reaver fully playable with emulators?

lol wut

>A few years ago find a youtube channel that makes Legacy of Kain series look like a satanic conspiracy
>It actually makes sense

Help me. Here are the vids. They're interesting as fuck.

Yep. Very playable

Sweet, I'm gonna go with it then.

THERE IS A MAGICAL OPERATION

I love how William The Just is some asshole you randomly murderhobo in Blood Omen

2 decades later, and this still kinda gives me chills
