Vampire®: The Masquerade - Bloodlines™

I played the crap out of it back in the day just to see all the options and try all the characters. It was also a step up in graphics for the time with the eyes, hands and mouth movements. There was/is nothing else like it especially at the time, and the way things are looking, according to the news, there will never be another that won't be soiled. I wish it had the large community that Morrowind has when it comes to the expansion and mod department so we could have whole new adventures and play the game the way it was meant to be before current year insanity. I would love it even with the old graphics.

Masterpiece and quality RPG like Witcher 3. I hope the next one be the same.

I purchased this game at release, 2004. Didn't get to finish it due to gamebreaking bugs. Then other titles wanted my attention, so I never got to finish this game, until now. From what I remeber, it was a good roleplaying game, and my memory almost served me correct. It's actually fantastic! Well, except maybe for the combat. Others have written better rewievs than this one. I'll just add this little text along with the five stars. Oh, and also. Don't keep the game on auto update if you're using Galaxy. I did, and when the game updated some areas didn't work properly. I tried rollback to an older patch, which worked for a while. Then it became unplayable. All that's was left to do was to start over, after 15 hours! However, it's such a good game, that starting from the begining after 15 hours didn't bother me at all.

This is a masterpiece and a benchmark that all RPG games should be measured against. Absolutely phenomenal! My recommendation is to absolutely buy it; you may love it like I do. The reasons to buy this game are endless. It feels unbelievable that there was so much packed into this game. It must have been developed by people who loved it and were overworked. You get to be a badass vampire in the World of Darkness doing badass vampire stuff, and you get to do it your way! The bad is that there are constant bugs, at times it breaks the game. However, you get past that because of how interesting the game is. The other bad part is it goes on a little too long. The game is maybe 15% or 20% too long, maybe....I don't know. It feels like they ran out of steam developing it. I held off buying this game for a long time, because of how lame some of it's partisans sounded. However, I was 100% wrong, because this game is a giant. It is worth every single penny you pay for it and will leave you feeling struck with awe.

It has bugs and clunky combat, but the atmosphere and writing put it up as one of the best RPGs I ever played and I'm saying that as a new player with no nostalgia attached to it.
