This isn't Bloodlines 2. -REQUIRES Paradox launcher. - Voice acting is bad, lip sync and character expression is non existent, even though the original from 20 years ago we had STELLAR voice acting, character expression and lip sync. - Gameplay is a plain punch + skill tree trash loop. - Story is the typical "voice in my head that guides me and is already my friend 40 seconds in" garbage i'm starting to get tired of. - Characters are stiff, faces are really off. - Performance is meh like all games made in Unreal Engine. - Very (EXTREMELY) limited character customization, even though again 20 years ago every clan had different unique looks. I hate it. To both Paradox and The Chinese Room: Have some ****ing respect for actual games that left a mark in time like Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines, change the name of this abomination to something else like Vampire: Seattle or something like that. Don't take a sh*t on the series and its fans that, mind you, are the ones that kept the original up and going with mods and love.
Just done with the first playthrough. Tactician difficulty, 165 hours. This is not a good game, this is one the best games of all time. I will not stop playing any time soon. There is only one complaint I have about this game, which is the camera. It's awful. Everything else is a work of art. This game has literally ruined every other game for me. A solemn vow to Larian Studios, thank you for this master piece.
If you want a good cyberpunk game with actually good gameplay and good story-telling, then go buy Deus Ex. This game is over-hyped garbage. They spend time trying to apease all the weird gender by adding dickgirls and what not, yet BAIS character customization is garbage, gameplay is garbage, game's buggy, NPC AI is 2000-ish, graphics are whatever, the story is weak, predictable and overall stupid, city a-life is hollow as hell as you can watch cars and people spawn and despawn in front of your very eyes. Sound is the only good thing about this garbage-ass, boring game. Next time instead of adding shemales and whatnot, try making a good game.
