Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is richly authentic, intriguingly written, dripping with brooding atmosphere, and… not very fun to play, unfortunately

      Come on, it’s one persons opinion. Let me believe a little longer.

      People put too much hope into it. Personally, as a big WoD fan, I don’t care if it’s mediocre or worse. Thanks to Paradox, there have been many new games of the universe, so it wouldn’t be much of a loss. I don’t mind them being text-based either. It’s a lot better than nothing, which is how it was for many years.

      If you’re looking for a fix of Bloodlines, just play the last Deus Ex games if you haven’t. They’re the same thing but without vampires.

    I checked Robin’s site profile to make sure she wasn’t one of the people who thought Dragon Age Veilguard had good writing first thing. Nope that was Lauren, my bad.

    Still doubt it.

    That said, I’ll find it pretty funny if the combat is truly as bad as it was in the first Bloodline game.

      I believe the developer has practically no experience with action games, so the combat being subpar wouldn’t be unexpected. I definitely wouldn’t be playing a WoD game for its combat though. I’d want a good story, characters, and the right aesthetics.

    Ah yes

    Waiting for the unofficial patch then, true to VTMB1

      One of the best builds to make CP2077 absolutely horrible to play is stealth + tech weapons. You spend all of you time crouched behind boxes, first trying akwardly to sneak your way in, and then shooting through them with the wallhack weapons.

      Meanwhile other players clear the same mission in 45 seconds looking like the worlds biggest action hero badass with sandevistan and katanas and hacks and shit :D

        Hacks is pretty much the same early game

        Stealth is just bad overall, like in most games where it isn’t the main way to do things, as both the player playing stealthily and the one playing like rambo must be able to complete the mission and earn the same rewards
