initially the menu texts were also looking like dat only...but after installing the 1.02 patch it was solved but now the above problem....
i think it was looking like a Gothic

But i m sure it jumbled english letters :rolleyes:

Is it really similar 2 pop series....btw i liked Soul reaver 2 the most :D

I couldn't play SoulReaver2 as I didn't have gfx card then:( but I've seen it being played.........it couldn't attract me.......sry...........but i'm plannin to give it a try again

yes this is an AWESOME game...........it has style............needs skills and moreover requires ur brain............cool boss fights..........a gripping story.........oh......
u c..............I can't stop appraising it...............I'm a fan of this Legacy Of Kain series........:D

& my problem's solution....:(

[rhitwick]

u do have a CD or .............?
cz............wen I installed it, it didn't require any patches................


but wierdly it required an original source.........
like if I make a copy of d cds I've, the game wouldn't install from those cds........
I've wasted 4-6 cds experimenting on d same:(
we who loved d game had to pay d person to make a copy for them.........:mad:


no solution............try installing again..............
b4 that un-install by revoUninstaller and do a CCcleaner scan................
that way u'l get a fresh registry..........:D
try it I can't assume wat might be root of the problem..................from d details.....

[bassam904]

Try to reinstall the game or Check for latest patches for the Game

[KaranTh85]

yey...my problem is solved now...:)

i m very happy....bcoz i never give up...:D

[rhitwick]

hey.......wat had happened??
how did u resolve?

[KaranTh85]

hey.......wat had happened??
how did u resolve?

actually downloaded the setup from rapidshare ...& it was a 2CD setup
now the game has taken 2GB....of HDD space :D

well regarding ur answer....i think this setup was created by some group....modded u can say....:cool:

i applied 1.02 patch but the problem was still there.....& u know dat the menu....name was wierd looking now it is showing the correct menu
like "Welcome to Slums" :D

it happend like i searched the installed files....my first impression was dat it may be due 2 BAD patch file or corrupt setup files..but i saw a batch file (.bat) i opened it
in notepad & saw some serious programming in dat...

echo@off...
..xy0~ye;;'
some like dat lines...blah blah blah....;-)

then executed dat batch file..& cmd window popped up....showing me some replacing
process of some files 4 a minute or so...
then i ran the .exe & voila it worked....:))

i guess dat batch file was a language converter or so..:rolleyes:

[rhitwick]

Good............
Njoy d game....................I think u r gonna love it............

[KaranTh85]

Good............
Njoy d game....................I think u r gonna love it............

i think this game is long...by looking @ the Space it took (2GB) & 11Chapters....
:D

lets see wat lies ahead in this game...:rolleyes:

Btw how much time it took u 2 complete this game if u remember....
is it poosible 2 complete it w/o a walkthrough....will the on screen help instructions

As far as I remember we used to paly it at night at hostel.............it took 7-10 days as some of the puzzles are really tough and boss fights are very much frustrating.......u keep on dying...........:mad:(actually on first attempt I un-installed it as I couldn't defeat d first level boss:D..........I played one level for 3 days but.......:rolleyes::mad::-()

Plz don't use a walkthrough...........it'll waste d surprise ( wo kaya bolte hai na taste ko waste mat karo) u may need walkthrough in the last level boss fight:rolleyes::cool:

Instructions would only be given when u get new powers..........aftr that u r on ur own............

I can still name a few of the amazing powers.......mist, berserk, telekynesis, immolate(this my favourite:D)

One request to u (I do it 2 everyone who is new to play this game)............don't loose hope............u r gonna love it.........:)

[KaranTh85]

it took 7-10 days
hmmm..


as some of the puzzles are really tough and boss fights are very much frustrating.......u keep on dying...........:mad:.I played one level for 3 days

I love challenges...Btw i played one level in POP3D for 1month..how silly :D


Plz don't use a walkthrough...........

i only use a walkthrough...whenever i m stucked or 2 get secret places...if they exists ;-)
moreover for tips also



Instructions would only be given when u get new powers..........aftr that u r on ur own............

But will it tell me the outcome of dat power when used...:rolleyes:


don't loose hope..........
Sorry mate this word is not in my dictionary...:cool:
& afterall u know my attitude...;-)


u r gonna love it.........:)
Let's see...time will tell...

[rhitwick]

But will it tell me the outcome of dat power when used...

U'll definitely get to know wat ur power is doing............:D
I say they are awesome..........Just play.........

yeah I know ur attitude...................keep it up.............I think u r gonna finish it within 1 week.......:rolleyes:

[KaranTh85]

played it on fri,sat & sunday....& on 5th chapter now :smile:

this game is quite interesting....:D totally different from soul reaver 2 (also heard that BO2 was developed by a different team)

killing the innocents is really fun...& watching their xpressions & voice acting is good 2:rolleyes:...the environment is also cool(it is like the old england cities)....the backstreet r like POP....

mist,stealth kill,super jump,charm,fury,etc r amazing :cool:

although the puzzle is not dat tough (till now) as compared 2 soul reaver 2 but the good thing is dat more stress is applied on fighting which was less in SR2 :rolleyes:

Boss fight is also excellent which was missing in SR2
Background music is also good...the annoying factor is dat u cannot save between two checkpoints...even if u do the game progress will be saved on the checkpoint u crossed @ b4 saving...& one more drawback is dat the weapons also gets lost if load teh game...so any waepon upgrade gets lost :x

neway still a must play game 2 hang out with....;-)

Q: There r 2 tubes with red & pink color on the upper left screen...red one i know is the health meter but wats the use of the pink meter...also known as lore meter i guess ? :confused:

Q: Is there any combo moves ? :confused:

[rhitwick]

Q: There r 2 tubes with red & pink color on the upper left screen...red one i know is the health meter but wats the use of the pink meter...also known as lore meter i guess ? :confused:


Pink is for ur power tube............use it in action............first select any power like berserk,fury,immolate(u'l get in later part of d game) and then start blocking ur enemy's attack.....
when d pink bar gets full during the attack use d power n c wat happens................
I guess u r not using it dat way............:rolleyes:

tips: u can use ur super jump to kill ur enemies(just thought u might've ignored)...........select it and select an enemy it'll become red............use it.......


Q: Is there any combo moves ? :confused:sorry there is no combo moves but combo use of ur powers can be power-full.........in last chapter u'll need it:D

hey.........one more thing..........I've forgot about the chapters............r u near the spiders?? I hate those.........................oh.........how do like sucking blood??:D

[KaranTh85]

Pink is for ur power tube
R u sure ??

use it in action............first select any power like berserk,fury,immolate(u'l get in later part of d game) and then start blocking ur enemy's attack.....
when d pink bar gets full during the attack use d power n c wat happens................
I guess u r not using it dat way............:rolleyes:


But this is rage bar i think...suppose i have chosen fury & starts blocking attacks then
the rage bar fills up when it reaches 3/4 or full kain starts glowing in pink :D
then again pressing the dark gift key will unleash a powerful attack :rolleyes:
So the pink tube is different which only fills up when kain is sucking blood or taking
powers from the blue or red boxes thru out the game...:cool:
& when the pink tube bcomes full the kain stamina,power,health increases...also the
length of the tube :)


tips: u can use ur super jump to kill ur enemies(just thought u might've ignored)...........select it and select an enemy it'll become red............use it.......

ya i know this it was taught by the onscreen instructions...:lol:

r u near the spiders??
dont know,i m on 5th chapter & using the awesome charm ability

how do like sucking blood??:D
:cool: ya pretty cool ha...

[rhitwick]

But this is rage bar i think...suppose i have chosen fury & starts blocking attacks then
the rage bar fills up when it reaches 3/4 or full kain starts glowing in pink :D
then again pressing the dark gift key will unleash a powerful attack :rolleyes:

Egzactly;) Thats how u should use..............I forgot diff b/w the full bar and glowing thing.........I think as u start blocking it starts glowing slowly, right?
When d full bar is glowing then only u can use d power else it will be of no use.......

About sucking blood................don't leave anything live or dead.........if alive kill n drink...........its ur health n u've noticed ur pink part also grows slightly when u drink..........if already dead ur task is half done:D

[bassam904]
