BloodRayne: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

* [[Argentina Is Naziland]]: Almost a 1/3 of ''BloodRayne'' takes place in a hidden Nazi base in Argentina. Then again, another third takes place in Germany proper.

* [[Artificial Stupidity]] : Mooks getting stuck in corners and vampires slowly dying by standing in daylight.

* [[Aura Vision]]: It helps Rayne find her objective's location and conveniently shows how much health the non-boss enemies have (bosses have their own life meter).

* [[Aura Vision]]

* [[Badass Boast]]: [[Badass|Half her quotes throughout the series]], but her boast to Hedrox is especially epic.

* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Rayne, obviously.

Line 20:

* [[Blood Bath]]: The final boss chamber in the second game has a fountain full of blood in which both Rayne and Kagan (her vampire father) can heal themselves.

* [[Bloodier and Gorier]]: ''BloodRayne 2'' was this to the original. BloodRayne: Betrayal for the series overall. And it's rated T!

* [[Body Horror]]

* [[Body Horror]]: Daemites possessing a soldier to name a few.

* [[Born-Again Immortality]]: A Flower ~~Child’s~~ life cycle is a true cycle. They can die and be reborn a seemingly unlimited number of times, provided they ~~aren’t~~ killed before reaching physical maturity. Once they die, a large plant grows from their grave (that plant being whatever type of flower they’re based on). This plant bears a 'fruit' which is basically a womb, in which the Flower ~~Child’s~~ new body develops. They are then ~~‘born’~~ exactly one year after their death, in the form of a five-year-old child.

* [[Bulletproof Human Shield]]: One of the heroine's special moves is to grasp an enemy goon, bite down on his neck, and while wrapped around him, spin him around to block enemy shots, using him as a [[Bulletproof Human Shield]] ''and'' gaining health at the same time.

* [[Bullet Time]]: One of Rayne's powers/a part of gameplay in both games is the option to use this technique, representing her heightened reaction times and senses.

Line 34:

* [[Creepy Crossdresser]]: Implied in ''BloodRayne 2'':

{{quote|''Mook:''Nice boots miss, after I've kicked your ass I may prance around in them.}}

* [[Cutscene]]: The first two games uses FMV sequences in some parts of the game's story.

* [[Cutscene]]

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Rayne, particularly in the second game, has more snark than even [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]].

** "You saw the blades, what did you ''think'' was gonna happen?"

* [[Dhampyr]]: The title character.

* [[Die, Chair, Die!]]

* [[Die, Chair, Die!]]: Oh ''yes''! Chairs, statues and even pianos aren't safe from Rayne's armblades.

* [[Disposable Sex Worker]]: Well, more like recyclable, {{spoiler|street people are drained of blood to create the Shroud}}.

* [[Disposable Vagrant]]

* [[Disposable Vagrant]]: See above.

* [[Dual Boss]]: The twins, Simon and Sigmund, while {{spoiler|Wulf and Beliar}} are more of a subversion: you fight both at once, but they attack each other, too.

* [[Dull Surprise]]: Rayne for most of the first game talks in a monotone, just displaying enough emotion that you know what's going through her mind. Nothing really seems to shake her (as she said at the start of the game, "I'm just confident in my abilities"), with few exceptions. Then Wulf [[Killed Off for Real|kills Mynce for real]]. Then she flies into an [[Unstoppable Rage]]. The sequel has much less of this, as Rayne does a lot more [[Deadpan Snarker|cracking wise]] and occasionally expressing real horror when she realizes what [[Big Bad|the plan of the Kagan Cult]] is.

* [[Epunymous Title]]: The series title plays on gallons of blood you'll be spilling with the games' titular character.

* [[Epunymous Title]]

* [[Exposition Fairy]]: Mynce in the first game, and Severin in the second.

* [[Expy]]: Originally, Rayne was supposed to be Svetlana Lupescu of ''Nocturne'' fame, but this was scrapped.

Line 86:

* [[Our Vampires Are Different]]: Dhampir, actually. Water, sunlight, healing by drinking blood and apparently having the grace of a Cirque de Soleil performer and the body of a lingerie model.

** The full-blooded vampires are a varied bunch as well, with Ephemera being an [[Intangible Man|Intangible Girl]] who can teleport through shadows, Hedrox, a bestial creature with a [[Doppelganger Attack]], and Slezz, an ancient and monstrously inhuman "Babylonian Winged Shakkab" described as a "born vampire". The only two vampires who seem to match the usual profile are Zerenski and Kagan.

* [[Painted-On Pants]]

* [[Painted-On Pants]]: Rayne's default outfit.

* [[Parental Favoritism]]: Ephemera is Kagan's favorite daughter.

* [[Power Tattoo]]: Ferril's body is covered in ''moving'' tattoos.

Line 109:

** [[24-Hour Armor]]: Rayne's armor outfit.

* [[Stupid Jetpack Hitler]]: Actual jetpack Nazis in the first game.

* [[Third-Person Seductress]]

* [[Third-Person Seductress]]: Rayne in the first two games, who provides some eye-candy while slicing her enemies into ribbons.

* [[Throw-Away Guns]]: In the first game. Once the magazine for the weapon Rayne's holding are emptied, she tosses them out of her inventory.

* [[Throw-Away Guns]]

* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]: The first game is a fixed-camera, ''[[Max Payne (series)|Max Payne]]''/''[[Star Wars: Dark Forces|Jedi Outcast]]'' style third-person shooter which incorporates melee combat. The second game is a free-floating-camera, ''[[Final Fight]]''-style fighting game which incorporates platforming and auto-lock shooting. It's a moderate, but significant shift. The third game is a 2D hybrid of ''[[Castlevania]]'' platforming and ''[[Devil May Cry]]'' combat. Compared to the first two, it's a REALLY significant shift.

* [[Unwinnable]]: There's a glitch in ''BloodRayne 2'' if you don't use your harpoon to open the path before killing some [[Mooks]].
