Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption

This is a game that has not aged well, but might still be fun for some. While it doesn't suffer from control issues, the point-&-click aspect is undermined by the camera viewing angle set by the mouse and the lack of transparency in some areas with regard to the character position. For example, if an enemy is around the corner shooting arrows at Christof, that enemy can still be obscured by walls or even ceiling until I move the mouse enough to be able to see and click to attack. Also, I encountered many issues in which I could not attack a nearby enemy, or one on stairs at Christof's feet but at a slightly different level (usually lower). The same issue occurred with items. Once I gained a character in my party, that character often got in my way such that I could not attack enemies or pick up items until I moved the camera just right. Many of the reviews here and after this game's original release talk about how the graphics add to the atmospherics. Only one post-release review said the truth, which is that the graphics are actually quite mediocre and non-immersive, especially in outside areas. Finally, despite having upgrade points to spend, I was not able to upgrade my characters at all, and it was unclear why. That said, this seems like it could have been a pretty decent game for its time, in terms of content and character development. It had the potential to be a much better game than it is. I don't think it's worth $6, and I'm definitely glad I got it on sale.

I got 3 editions of this game on cd. I had remember cd key to this game :) For thi days, graphics is pure, but weapons, skills and gameplay is wery good, even when compare with modern games. Flamberg - best weapon :) Recomended to all, who like wampire subject :)

a great game with a great story well worth a try

Omg I have loved this game for years and have been looking for years to find it. I finally did one day and bought it from amazon for thirty eight dollars. Well it gets here and it turns out you have to have a lower operating system to install it. I was so pissed. Its not compatiable with Windows Vista. I go online and find it here and on here it can be played with my system and not only that but I found it for the best price I have ever saw. The quality and graphics are great. No problems. Another thing... If gog.com rewrote it for the higher operating systems, thanks so so very much! Fantastic job. Much appriciation. Again Thanks :) -Chris Snyder (Indiana)

This game was soo close to be eternall classic of all times. Some nasty bugs prevented it. Firstly i played GoG version 1.1 and installed mod "Age of redemption 2015" which was supposed to make all things better.As far as i can tell it didn't. Dissapointer number one is retarded AI. It's obviously hardcoded because modders were not able to repair it. The party characters don't spare any inventory items even if instructed to do so with option "use only quick slots". The same for using disciplines. Second annoyer is path finding. Party members are notoriously blocking each other. To make it worse the AI is constantly converting enemies to party side even if told not to so by removing disciplines from quick bar. Once theese temporary party members even feeded on my characters to death! I managed to finish the game only by lowering difficulty with mod - without it it's frustratingly hard in negative way. The keys are also not remapable and defaults sucks. The map navigation is annoying - no position marker. I don't understand all the 5-star reviews. Other than that there is outstanding plot and voice acting. Many new games lack such good storyteling and atmosphere. Although visuals/sounds are old, theese are immersing me better then in many current productions. It could have been sooo much more...
