Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption

Quite frankly, that's the game that brought me here, I've been looking for it for a long time, especially for version compatible with newer OS'. First of all, it's full of flaws, game mechanics are imperfect, bah, they weren't too "flashy" even back in the day, overall presence is at best above 2000's games' average (except really good soundtrack), and storyline is horribly linear, sometimes even boring. There are two things I always loved about this game though - first is unparalleled atmosphere, giving you everything that's best from original World of Darkness, second is marvelous plot, even if linear, it features dozens of rich character profiles, throwing you in various epochs, from medieval Prague to the dark streets of New York in our times. At certain point you're just flowing through consecutive action turns with Christof, like it was your own story. Simply delightful game, though I realize it's possible that it won't suit everyone, especially people making silly faces at vampires/werewolfs and similar mythology creatures.

Compared to modern day RPG's this is probably a bit dated but it's story is everything I look for in an RPG, it's gripping and very enjoyable. the characters are fleshed out and it feels like a lot of time and care has gone in to developing them. The game play has it's flaws, some battles are ridiculously hard even after patching. (mercurio springs to mind) and sometimes is becomes a bit repetitive but the story always made me follow through to the end and enjoy it. To pen and paper players this may not be exactly what you expect but just like pen and paper the story carries the game and that it does well. I'm well chuffed to find this on GoG as my second disk has a rather bad scratch on it and I've been itching to play this one again.

This game is well worth a buy. True, it does have some annoying bugs, and true, the combat system can often get tedious and is a a little flawed; however, the story and script more than makes up for it. This game has perhaps some of the most well-written dialogue of any game, which in the medieval portion of the game seems reminiscent of Shakespeare (another review goes into this in much greater detail). Also, the graphics are great considering their age!

This game has both a really good story & excellent voice acting. My wife bought this game for me back when it first came out & I've played and replayed it numerous times over the years. The only reason I don't give it a 5 star rating is the game is a bit glitchy. Coterie members get stuck in areas while moving around. The game engine isn't the best, but definitely worth adding to your collection.

I enjoyed the game up until the point i died. At which point i realized only my very first save, two hours prior, was the only one available. Irritated i restarted the game. All the enemies i had killed after making the save were dead and i was unable to even continue the game. Restarting the game did not help. After looking for help online this is apparently a common issue on Vista/7, so i tried the usual solutions. Run the game as administrator, no luck. Enable indexing on the vampire the masquerade install folder, no luck. I cant give this game better than 1 star, because it's unplayable on my modern operating system. First encountered this problem several months ago when i got the game, clearly nobody wants to fix it. Money well spent -.-
