Vampire®: The Masquerade - Bloodlines™

This game is absolutly exeptional. It is one of the few role playing games where it it truly possible to play a role. The writing, the voice acting and the dialog options are mastercrafted to a point, where i have yet to see something that comes close to it. The grafics are surly aged, but the well designed faces and the immersion and atmosphere the game gives you make it easy to look over its age. The gameplay is honestly neither exeptionally good or bad. It certanly feels a bit wobbely at times and doors can be really annoying some times. Also the world Itself is more in a noir setting. Sure you are a strong vampire, but you cannot bent or destroy most things (not even donut and pizza boxes. The Leveldesign is somewhat bad with many invisible walls and the catacombs... But very atmospheric. Combat is simple and fun most of the time. It also has a high replay value for its genre because certain vampire clans play totally differen (with own dialogs, missions (so much work must have gone into this). HINT: If you play first don't play Nosferatu or Malkavian unless you really want to. Nosferatu come a little short sometimes and Malkavian are in my opinion best enjoyed when you already know how every thing play out (references and such). This game probably would have been the best selling role playing game and a milestone for everything that would have come, if it hadn't that many bugs. From what I've read (I was curious, why it wasn't in ever best game chart) it was (almost) unplayable at it's release not finished and launched next to HL2. The good news it that it has to this day a active comunitiy (I've played the pen and paper games for years) and thanks to the Unofficial Patch most bugs are fixed and a lot of conent is restored and even some added. You certanly should use it. For the record I am not someone who came over by nostalgia or something. I started that game for the first time on the 12th of march 2017 and finished it yesterday.

Ok, where to begin... I hadn't ever heard of Vampire the Masquerade or World of Darkness before this game. I bought it on a whim before I deployed to Iraq in 2005. We didn't have much in the way of entertainment over there, but some ingenious soldiers threw up an ad-hoc lan network so people could play Halo and other console games in our dusty hovel infested with rats and scorpions. Even so, I would usually have a sizeable crowd of soldiers at my back watching me play. It is a very compelling game. Flawed in many ways but no other title can scratch the itch that Bloodlines satisfies. All clans are viable and fun but those Malkavians! So awesome! Get this game!

Originally when this game 1st came out it had afew bugs that could stop you from beating the game. But thanks to dedicated fans that's all taken care of. Almost all of the bugs are gone, cut content has been readded. Even some ease of use options have been added like being able to buy skill books multiple times. The atmosphere is involving even with it's age. The voice actiing is top notch. The only places where you might find issues are the combat. It could be more fluent, but again for it's age it can be overlooked. If you're into White Wolf or the supernatural, this game will world filled with lore and keep you up at night. A must play if you are looking at getting VTMB 2.

This is the best vampir game

I have problem with price here, what we actually get for our money as bonus, in comparision with other store, where game was for 4,5 EUR? 17 EUR for such old game is joke, more when you already own it. Its shame that game is still full of bugs and even gog version i afaik dont game has game code fixed.. I have problem with unofficial patches, i prefer vanilla game as state of something which authors wanted to express. Unofficial patch i my eyes changing too many aspects of this game. Otherwise is great game with a bit too much fighting and too much enemies, dialogs maybe in games ever, same as player characters variability and game replay value. Also game world lore is reused from one of best paper rpg settings.
