It never fails to impress me, how a game released more than 20 years ago, can be superior to it's sequel, in almos EVERY aspect. First, the technicalities: -You can't save, no kiding, the game autosaves in some certain checkpoints and thats it. Making you go through ALL the F*CK*NG DIALOGUES AGAIN -Oh and you CAN'T SKIP CUTSCENES -There are no hotkeys for anything, map, character, nothing... you have to press ESC for everything. -There is NO MISSION JOURNAL -Dialog choices are often misleading, sometimes making you say the oposite of what you intended. -Disciplines are a generic joke (with barely or no resembelance to what how they actualy work) being basically, combat abilities. -There is NO INVENTORY. -PS3 Graphics. Second, the writing: -The writting is simplistic, with very limited choice repercution or character interaction. -The flirting is CRINGE. -The game often contradicts itself and VtM lore. -There are some good moments playing as Fabien. And at last, gameplay: -You have the poor cousin version of the Witcher Sense. -The sound track is so bad, it makes for some funny moments, like when I was fighting 10 enemies at the same time and the combat music sounded more like a dentist waiting room. -Combat is repetitive. As are the models you'll be fighting. There are only 3 boss fights (including the last), but they are ok, all things considered. -Disciplines have no impact on dialogs (except on Fabien flashbacks). -Side quests are useless and irrelevant. Being olny useful for navegation. -The exploration mechanics are fun (but the map is beyond diminute). -Something tells me (the 21gb) that the game will be extremely short. (and I was right, just about 20h long). To summarise, this doesn't feel like a VtM at all, much less a sequel to the first VB, if you are looking for anything like that, AVOID this game.
