I get why people are disappointed BUT...

I really enjoyed the game. I loved the story, the vibe, the aesthetic and the characters. The main questline and the narrative framing were right up my alley and the atmosphere is amazing. I liked Phyre, I loved Fabien and I had fun with both their story arcs. That said, Bloodlines 2 doesn't even really try to be an RPG, it fails to be a good immersive SIM, it is very linear and the side quests are dreadfully repetitive. Outside of dialogues, you don't really get much of a choice in anything and overall, Bloodlines 2 isn't very interesting in terms of gameplay. I probably will replay it a few times and still have fun with it, but calling the game Bloodlines 2 does feel like a slap in the face to the fans of the original - and it isn't doing the game any favours either. Because there's no way this one could come out of that comparison looking good. I'd still rec it to the fans of the WoD setting (or of vampires in general), especially those who focus on the story and the narrative in most games, because that is hands down Bloodlines 2's strongest point. If you enjoy this game for what it is instead of hating it for what it isn't, it's actually pretty neat. (You might want to wait for a discount, though - all things considered.)

SOOO Much Lost

Rock 'Em Sock 'Em vampires does NOT a sequel to one of the best RPGs ever made. It DOES suck, but NOT in the good way.... = _ [ Gone is everything that made the first EPIC, to be replaced with bland blah.

Not The Bloodlines

It’s not a terrible game, though it’s a terrible one for something called Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. The lack of budget and time is obvious everywhere; the game keeps only the MINIMALLY necessary elements to stop the design from collapsing. Consequently, the story and setting are more or less fine — the main issue there is the dull, repetitive quests that offer zero intrigue as you complete them. From a gameplay perspective, however, it’s bleak. Everything that could be cut was cut. Large, varied locations with anything to explore - nonexistent. Character creation, and really any ability to play as different characters at all - nonexistent. Inventory, weapons, meaningful consumables, and even money - nonexistent. Character progression, social skills, technical skills - nonexistent; all that remains is the option to buy a few abilities that heavily overlap in function, using four (!) different kinds of XP. Given all this, quest - path variability was naturally gone as well.

A not unexpected disappointment

Lets face it, it was in development hell for a long while and it it went through more foster cares than most problem children. I consider Bloodlines 1 a masterpiece (almost), despite all of its buggy flaws. Bloodlines 2 is not a masterpiece. Its a mediocre game plain and simple. Get it on sale if you must, otherwise avoid it. I feel sorry for all the talented people/developers who had to handle this mess, without getting the time and resources to actually give it the love and care it needed.

If it wasn't called Bloodlines 2...

Sadly, it's everything what I was afraid of when I heard back then the game is changing developers. It's a vampire game for sure, but it has nothing much to do with the original Bloodlines nor the Vampire: The Masquerade. It's like the game uses the Mask of a Thousand Faces, only to fail miserably. It pretends to be an RPG, but it's closer to an action adventure game with a lot of brawl and a noir mystery. With acceptable, occasionally cringe writing and no inventory, hotkeys or whatsoever. The snowy Seattle looks ominous and moody as expected, but it feels lifeless. No matter how many people walk the streets, they are just props like the tall buildings surrounding you. And the characters... They are the positive points of the game, definitely. Talking with them breaks the monotonious cycle of roaming the streets and rooftops to find the next clue, beat up some ghouls, then head back to your haven to sleep, so you can progress the story... Only to do all this again and again, unless you roam around in flashbacks as Fabien, playing detective and talking to things with colorful personalities. I wanted to like this game, and it's not unbearably bad per se. If it was marketed as Bloody Nights in Seattle or something similar, devoid of the Vampire: The Masquerade label, it would be fairly acceptable. But it isn't the case, sadly...
