Game's is a great VTM game, not unlike Redemption, it's fun and the story and characters are interesting throughout. It is, however, a poor sequel to Bloodlines as it is less of an RPG and is not stat driven (sadly). I'd recommend to others get this game at a discount.
Nonetheless, I'm happy to have this game in my library.
P.S.
To start the game without the annoying PDX launcher, delete the Launcher folder from the game's root folder
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.
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.
Bloodlines 2 feels like a completely different game than what was originally promised.
There’s no real RPG depth here – no proper character creation, no inventory, no real freedom in how you build your vampire. It’s basically a linear action experience with a skill tree and some flashy powers. In many moments it feels more like “Vampire: Dishonored” than a true successor to the original Bloodlines.
Yes, the combat can be enjoyable, but the soul of the franchise – choice, identity, role-playing, weirdness, clan impact – just isn’t here. With everything that happened behind the scenes (HSL being replaced, Mitsoda gone, direction shifted), it’s hard not to feel like this is a different project wearing the Bloodlines name.
As an action vampire game: acceptable.
As the sequel fans were waiting for: it feels like something important was lost along the way.
First the game needs the stupid paradox launcher and then what follows is an absolute disapointment to all the fans of the original! Watch a few hours of gameplay and you will see what I mean!
