Also, Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen 2 same as above. Well, maybe not, as the ending was relatively OK. It's just that the entire game sucked more than fifty consecutive ME3 endings.
Hey now...I actually liked Blood Omen 2! Wasn't my favorite game out of the series but I still enjoyed it.
It's riddled with plotholes. Even if you take it isolated from the rest of the series, the guys who made BO2 didn't keep consistent with themselves. The rest of the plotholes are worse. The gameplay is tedious and boring. The fights are tedious and boring. Also, they don't make much sense - weapons break
only when Kain holds them. If you think about the puzzles you'll realise they were designed by a complete lunatic (possess a person, pull a lever, lever and person blow up. WHO WOULD HAVE THAT?). Any suspension of disbelief goes out of the door when even the most ordinary peasant survives three consecutive stabs in the stomach. And by stab, I mean they were fully impaled on a broad sword UP TO THE HILT.
Three of those. You have to do this thing three times before the lowliest of mortals die. And you need them to die to drink their blood an increase the blood lore. And drinking blood becomes boring and tedious after the fifth time you do it. Too bad you have to do it another a thousand times until the game ends.
There is more. The only remotely good thing I can say about the game is that the stealth kills were satisfyingly brutal.
If they did keep the game
not LoK, as it was initially intended, it would still have been a bad game, just not a disaster as it is now.
