With no Brian Mitsoda and not Rik Schaffer I have a hard time seeing this ever being a true sequel, no matter how much extra dev time they get.

I’m gonna be real, as just a casual follower of this game, I kinda assumed it already came out a while ago and was just so meh nobody talked about it. I’m shocked it’s still not out yet

Don’t be, this game won’t quietly peep its way into obscurely, it will be an uproarious fart all the way across the halls of the internet.
It will come out and literally nobody will like it because a) it has an impossibly high bar to clear even in the hands of competent devs and b) it’s been made by walking sim developers as their first attempt at a real game with gameplay beyond simple puzzles.
I will literally slice off my own asscheeks, cure them into honey glazed ham, and serve them on rye if it comes out as anything resembling the success of the first.

Is there a preferred metric to measure this by? I didn’t play the first one, but Wikipedia says “polarizing but ultimately positive,” and there’s an 80/100 metacritic score, for whatever that’s worth.
Your word picture is just so funny that I want to root for the game’s success just to be the person that quotes this comment and @s you, even if I tend to agree with your assessment.

Paradox Interactive has too much money into Bloodlines 2 to let it die. But we all know this is dead. Even if it comes out.

Paradox didn’t spend $18 million dollars making a dick and boob slider in Crusader Kings 3 for just one game. Let them cook.

I’m excited to see it have less content than the original even with this absurd amount of delays.
ampersandrew@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
You’re thinking about it wrong. How much content it has is not the problem. The problem is we’ve seen gameplay and it looks nothing like its predecessor.
SupraMario@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Hasn’t it been bought and sold a bunch now? I want to say this is like the 4 dev or something to take it over.

I wrote this game off years ago. As far as I’m concerned, even if they ever release something, it doesn’t exist.
Modva@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Well, rather this than a bad release

I thought it is already out.

If you want some Vampire to tide you over in the meantime, ttrpg.network/c/vamp_tm

Maybe the real Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 was the friends we bit along the way.
