Vampire®: The Masquerade - Bloodlines™

The graphics look really old. Many games looked much better back then (like Half-Life 2, which was made with the same Source engine). The combat is messy and uninteresting. The story feels like it was made by three boomers. This was my second attempt at playing this game, and I fear it will be my last, considering the number of good RPGs out there.

You're better off pirating this because the GOG version still have game breaking bugs that force you to start over. Game is 10/10 in the first few hours then goes downhill to a 5/10 with generic level design and skippable dialogue/lore dumps.

Prepatched with some awful mod that can't be removed If you want to buy VtM bloodlines, you have to go to steam (or find a reseller of a retail disk I guess). This release is literally unplayable, and false advertising. GOG aren't distributing VtM even though they're saying they are. It's surreal that this blatant fraud is still up

While the game itself is amazing for some reason the people at GoG decided to not include the sewer skip. The people behind this decision should be taken out into the street and [redacted]. Game is great download the upgraded verison of the fan patch and skip the sewer level. Why include the fan patch at all if you aren't going to include the fucking most important part.

I used to play the first part of the installment and I loved it. So, this time, many years later, I bought the second part. And I'm disappointed. While the plot, the core ideas and dialogues look interesting, the implementation is quite horrible. Battle mechanics is one of the worst I ever seen: I don't like infinitely spawning cops that just appear out of the air, etc. There are bugs, there are hard-scripted NPC, etc. One of the most annoying things is that levels a very-very small. Every time you go through the door, enter the room or just go to another end of the map etc the game has to load. And this process is not instant, this wastes a lot of time for me. So, buy it only if you used to play and want to bring "good old memories" of the past. Otherwise, take something better (like, uhm, witcher?).
