PC or Console?

[ParanoidHermit]

I got the first two LoK games from the PSN and I've enjoyed them, so I'm considering getting the final three. Between the PC and Playstation 2, which would the trio work better on? Also, I don't care that much about graphics and if people recommend the PC, give me a good reason why, and none of that "PC Master Race" bullcrap.

It does not really matter. PS2 versions have different menus and extra content, otherwise they are almost the same.

PS2 version has a "hi-res" SR1 intro. But you can find it on YT nowadays so I don't know if it's worth the trouble.

Get the PS2 version. It's basically the same game, but it has bonus content in the form of various arts, soundtrack from both Soul Reaver games, and videos from recording sessions (mostly cutscenes, but there are also 3 outtakes videos). Some of those videos you can get by buying SR2 on gog.
You may experience crashes on PC if you're going to play on Windows 7-10. Blood Omen 2 and Defiance work pretty well on newer systems, though BO2 likes to crash occasionally. Remeber that crashes will be painful due to SR2's saving system - much like in the original BO, you can save the game only in the designated places (getting to which, if you haven't played the game yet, can take you even two hours).
I'd recommend you get SR2 for PS2 as that way you get access to bonus content (you have to beat the game to get the code that unlocks it) and lower the risk of experiencing a crash. You should buy BO2 and Defiance for whatever system that suits you best - they're basically the same games. European version of Defiance had bonus content cut from it, which, I think, was later restored in some German edition. Not sure, if it's on PC, though. Again, if you buy Defiance on gog, you will get some of the bonus content included in the US release.
Have fun, whichever version you decide to buy. :}

don't get the steam versions of the games! cutscenes will freeze up on you, random crashes. they really did a slapdash job with the ports. just get a ps2!

I got PS2 versions, and I'm enjoying them. Thank you everyone for your input.
