Description
Los Angeles always had a thriving night life but no one really knows what lurks behind the glittering lights and seedy nightclubs. While mortals live their normal lives, clans of vampires conspire and scheme to further their own mysterious goals. As a newly-sired vampire, you are put to trial by the Prince of the city for your sire’s wrongdoings. A lone voice spares you from the Final Death and you become a pawn in the Prince’s plans.

Traverse the dark world of modern-day Los Angeles in Troika’s swan song, Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines. Visit raves and explore the secret underground caverns of Downtown to seedy hotels and exclusive mansions on Hollywood’s infamous Sunset Strip. Embark on a variety of story-driven quests as you explore an open world filled with side missions, multiple paths, and strange denizens to interact with. Yours is a living world, even though you cease to be.

Still holds up after a decade

Even after 14 years, the game still has its magic. Playing with the unofficial patch, the game is super fun, and the endings are awesome. The characters are great and the voice acting is lit. The Deb of Night is probably the best ASMR I've ever heard. All in all, a great experience, especially for the 20$ pricetag. Recommended.

Probably 4-5 Playthroughs

After purchasing VMB on release and playing through it in a two day solid rush, with maybe some sleep mixed in here and there, can say that this in my opinion is the most atmospheric game ever created. It was ambitious, and way ahead of it's time in regards to character interaction and branching ways to handle situations. Recommendations for first playthrough -- Brujah with Celerity maxed, attributes of hacking, subterfuge or persuasion, and brawl which will make many tasks more enjoyable since you can hack pcs to get info, seduce people into doing what you want, and feed on enemies in combat if your unarmed/strength is high enough, silent assassin never lacking blood pool.

Decent game with some major flaws

14 years after it came out Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is still a decent game, but I'd argue it was never really a great one. You see, if you play a really similar action/RPG hybrid such as the first Deus Ex today (and that came out 4 years before Bloodlines), the gameplay feels a little bit dated, but it's still a lot of fun with a ton of engaging options and just works. Bloodlines, on the other hand, was a complete mess when it came out and its core mechanics are still garbage after all the years of fan patches. The melee action is barely passable and extremely boring, the shooing only works (somewhat) once you max out all the relevant skills, and the sneaking is a complete embarrassment as you can literally assassinate a bunch of enemies in front of all of their buddies without them noticing. Even the storytelling is pretty cumbersome at times with convoluted dialogue mechanics that make it a bit annoying to go through the otherwise excellent dialogue. The main story is pretty basic too with the side quests providing most of the real fun. The appeal of the game is pretty obvious, of course. The vampire lore, world building, and overall atmosphere are spot on. Some of the character classes offer unique play styles throughout the otherwise linear story. The music and voiceover are spectacular. The side quests are all unique and for the most part interesting. However, a big part of the game feels like a chore because of the badly broken gameplay. While I didn't really hate my latest playthrough, I really didn't love it that much either. I think it may be time to move on...

One of the Greatest RPGs of All Time

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is not only one of the greatest rpgs ever made but one of the best games in general. It has good rpg mechanics, great characters, an immersive world and atmosphere, and some of the best writing in any game I've ever played, perhaps only rivaled by games such as Legacy of Kain or Planescape Torment(both of which are masterpieces in their own right). If you are interested in a great story, this game is worth buying for that reason alone. However, not everything is perfect, this game was rushed out the door in an unfinished state and is still buggy to this day. Despite being launched in an unplayable state, this version of the game includes a version of the Unoffical Patch that will enable the game to run on modern systems without as many bugs, if you want a version to restore cut content you will need to get the latest version of it. Also, it is worth mentioning that this game is rushed in the last 20% or so of the game because of the hectic development of the game, leaving you with no options to resolve conflicts other than combat even if your character isn't skilled at combat. Be prepared for this by investing points into combat skills, it will save you a great deal of trouble if you do. To sum this all up, it is an amazing game that was unfortunately hindered by a troubled developement but it is well worth playing through for anyone who likes RPGs or just likes vampires in general.

One of the best games I've ever played

I love this game so much that I bought it a second time (first on Steam and now on GOG). I have tons of hours playing this game. It has such a unique atmosphere that no game can match. The story is quite interesting with incredible voice acting that even modern games have trouble matching. The combat isn't anything too amazing but that's not what you are getting this game for however the combat is serviceable. The soundtrack is also fantastic with a goth vibe throughout. I would highly recommend this game to any fan of RPGs or good stories.
