Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption

I got a thing for nuns so I can relate

The title of my review is because I'd like to point out one of the glaring bugs that this game had: some of the worst hit detection I had ever seen. I almost eschewed any long range weapons, merely because of the fear of running out of ammo before my enemies would be dead. Even melee combat took far longer than it should have, just because the game was saying "you arn't hitting that target standing right next to you". I played the game once un-patched, then replayed with a patch that fixed the hit detection and other things such as the abysmal follower NPC AI. The game took about half the time it had before, all because enemies were dying quicker since they were actually being hit. The story is decent if not predictable, the atmosphere and feeling of being damned kind of lessen once you get to the modern era, and the characterization is not that strong. Being unable to play as any of the clans in story mode was kind of an annoyance, as it stuck you with powers that you may or may not be happy with. The online aspect was ok, it's very hard to get the same feeling you have of playing a pen and paper RPG, though the designers did their best with what they had. 4/10 before the patch, 6/10 after the patch. I recommend this to the fans of VtM (with the patching of course), but to most gamers and those who don't know the WoD (World of Darkness), I wouldn't really bother.

Just started playing but having too many bugs to even play it. It's not letting me save over already saved slots which appears to be limited in number; kinda have to really give up when then also cutscenes want to bug it out to the point that the battle never starts because the foes have dissappeared and are not even there (along with the entire "action bar" or whatever it's called on the bottom). Wanted to play it though so giving it two stars instead of one.

When I first saw the pictures of in game, game play I doubted the game would be good but then as soon as I got a copy later on...The game was amazing! I haven't fully finished it but all I know so far is that your basically this man...and he so looking for a woman that he loves but later on I think the storyline changes the game so far is really...really interesting! Love it and I highly recommend it don't judge because of the pictures only if you've played it.

Greetings to the reader. This was the second game I bought back in 2002 when I could buy my own pc, so It is nostalgic to me. That said the game has a decent plot, and consistent story flow; however it is a bit corny with 17th century chivalry romance. The biggest issue is the point, and click that I found in certain areas location mapping was problematic. On a good note this game incorporates morale choices though cheesy on occasion, or out right silly it is still one of the first games that these choice have a vast impact on your end game. Summary: If you want a game to transport you to a time when games had plot, an on occasion had plot just as this one does then here is your game. However if your used to fast pace tactic strategy do your keyboard a favor, and pass on this one.
