Why do boomer unc games always become so shitty the further you get in them? This game and Gothic are big ones. Have they even played them all the way through?
>>
Hot take but this game has no replay value. Once you've beaten the game once (and at most maybe ONE more time for a Malkavian run), it's too janky to want to play again. Modders had to add a sewers skip for that reason.

This game massively flopped on release because it was dogshit btw. You can throw 50 well-known hollywood jew writers in a room and give them total creative freedom and THIS is what they come up with. Evil can truly never create, only destroy.

its a troika game, the same guys who made arcanum, mechanical jank is the price of admission
nobody plays vtmb for the combat you retards

you judge them on the writing and the atmosphere and the choices

>>
A lot of older games are very front-loaded quality wise and the reality is that most fans do not play them all the way through. They primarily fixate on the opening hours of these games. A good example would be Deus Ex. Deus Ex rapidly declines in quality once you reach Hong Kong. Almost all the things people praise about the game are from the opening couple of hours.

Is is interesting to note that Bloodlines 2 has the opposite problem. It improves in quality the more you play. It's kind of obvious that they didn't have the money to retool the opening hours of the game, but they did have the resources to rework the last few hours in a way that would create an emotionally satisfying finale. But the tradeoff is that Bloodlines 2 has a very disjointed and slow opening 2-3 hours, and this isn't great for first impressions.

Bloodlines 1, like Deus Ex 1, benefits from having a strong opening hour even if the game basically goes to complete shit and never recovers.

My problem is that the writing of VTMB1 is actually very smarmy and one-note and nobody feels like an actual person. Do I prefer the pulpier style of VTMB1 over VTMB2? Absolutely. But the character writing itself is not actually very good. The characters are paper thin, and the game equates infodumping exposition at you (you are a complete non-character) for writing depth. There's a kind of childishness to the game as a whole. I do really like VTMB1, but fans have created this version of the game that really doesn't line up with the reality.
>you play it for the dialogue trees
The dialogue trees are not anything special. You just pick one of two options and the character rants at you for three minutes. The atmosphere is peak. I love the music. I love the art direction. I love the sense of place. But the story is terrible and the writing is overall kind of weak.

If they ever remaster VTMB1 it is going to cause incredible whiplash as fans play it for the first time and discover how flawed it is.

>VTMB only gets shitty in the last quarter, after you finish chinatown and move on to the last missions
No, the problems with VTMB begin basically with the first boss fight. The first genuinely bad section is the sabbat warehouse. By the time you reach downtown the game is in freefall quality-wise.

Depends on your character. I played a Toreador with no any useful skills (lol) and boss fights were a breeze... maybe except the cemetery I accidentally wondered into at low level, and that fucking shark jump-scare that I only won by luck.

>>742096527
Because it was rewritten late in development by a new writer/director, the third act of Bloodlines 2 is absolutely exceptional, and far higher quality than the rest of the game narratively as the rewritten plot threads converge and the truth of what Fabien has done reveals itself. They had a very limited budget and they sank it into the last 2 hours of the game. This is the complete inverse of how games like Bloodlines 1 and Deus Ex 1 were written where the first hours are completely front-loaded quality-wise and the finale is a complete afterthought. It's fairly rare for a game to dramatically improve in terms of writing quality, your choices having an impact and stuff like that in the last few hours. Usually it's the complete, total inverse where the writing quality drops off in the second half and it all feels way less polished.

With VTMB1, the last half of the game has increasingly terrible writing and mechanically it goes to complete shit.

It's not that kind of game. The climax of the story is the culmination of everything that has brought you to that point. Jumping out the window into the sunlight because you have faith that Fabien will do something, anything to save you. That said, it is kinda of jarring how oddly constructed the game is as a result of the rewrites because it's like 3 different games stitched together back to back.

i like the gameplay in vtmb. gangrel protean kind of sucks and maybe 2-3 of the final combat areas are a bit too unbalanced but otherwise i enjoy playing it.

Problem with the entire sunlight part is it MASSIVELY glosses over the vampire lore in Masquerade. Vampires are supposed to be comatose during the day with only massive surges of willpower getting to move and in tabletop mechanics that's on per-turn basis. Talking or complex actions are out the question. Looking back Redemption fumbled the same situation even worse.

yeah the magic of VTMB is that you can larp as a right wing, a left wing, your profession, your childhood, your whatever... it doesn't judge you, but it serves enough material for you to chew and judge (either the world or the developers, doesn't count, it's high quality chew-stuff)

this is what they didn't get when making VTMB2... being human... ironically

The fact there's no option to side with Safia is extremely annoying. I know they were working under extreme scope limitations, but Safia flat-out says that she would prefer to work with you because she has grown fond of you. (It's almost certainly a blood bond caused by her fucking around with potions made from your blood to give herself superpowers.) Phyre being this die-hard sabbat hater who refuses to compromise in any way was a trait that the writers regretted because it railroads the story, and they primarily had money to do Fabien rewrites, not Phyre rewrites.

To be fair, Safia is AFAIK staying awake during the day using thinblood alchemy. This is doable in v5. She's actually incredibly doped up on various potions to give herself various abilities she doesn't have naturally, and the DLC explores this a little bit more. Also, despite being bug-nuts crazy Safia does actually seem to be a relatively high humanity vampire. A lot of her problems sorta stem from going crazy because she was so high humanity in the 20s and she lost everything. But the fact Ryong, who is a 90s vampire, is able to open her eyes and speak to Safia is really a stretch.

The problem is that the combat is never fun in any way. It's not about being difficult. It's about being un-fun. It's boring.

VTMB2 inherited some really weird narrative baggage where they decided early on that the game was going to be about vampires as an allegory for the mega wealthy and thus utterly devoid of conventional human interactions. For most of development they had no romance, they had no concept of friendship between the characters because of the belief that vampires cannot actually have friends.

Now this is not exactly misaligned with VTM. The tabletop does portray elders and powerful vampires as being disconnected from the human experience and from traditional interactions, but this does not really work in a videogame. It produces a kind of sterility that you also find in VTM Swansong where the characters just interact with each other in this very flat, business-like style.

it's practically the CP2077 philosophy, pistol and blade being top options

>>742098773
nigga that ain't an excuse for vtmb2 being an absolute piece of shit (even if the setting and characters were actually cool)
at the end of the day u have the game in ur hands

not complicated

Bloodlines 2 does have excellent writing, excellent gameplay, and fantastic music, atmosphere, art direction, all that stuff. It's almost laughable how much it mogs the other WoD games mechanically.

Frankly, I'm not a fan of v5 VTM writing in general, and I think a lot of people are not prepared for how much it's going to infect the tone of that new CRPG they announced. I think v5's world building and approach to vampires is a problem in and of itself, and it's VTM without the goth and punk elements that made VTM interesting to begin with.

Holy fuck you are dumb. I pity you

>>742098913
In my experience a lot of people who hate VTMB2 basically just hate it because it refuses to be an RPG and they kind of assumed it would be an RPG.
>>
>>742103496
Its named after a rpg its based off a table top rpg faggot how can people not expect it to be a fucking rpg they should of listened to the room and changed to name. But then they'd had to refund people who pre ordered it.
>>
>>742103496
Yeah and also it sucks.

>>742091867
On god these uncs are completely delulu its why after all these 3 years of hardcore intense retro gaming the only good franchise trilogy is Risen
>>
>>742103672
Because of the budget and scope problems, the devs told Paradox that they probably shouldn't call it Bloodlines 2 because this would create the impression the game was an RPG when really what they were making was a linear action game with some dialogue choices. Paradox felt they knew better.

I'm playing it currently. I got it during the Steam sale, and it seems like a very decent game, and while I think the pacing is kind of weird I really don't see any particular reason why people got assmad about it. It is absolutely a better game than the first Bloodlines, and it's not even a contest. This is better written, has better characters, better everything, really. It's just not an RPG. And I can't fault the game for wonky pacing when the original has even worse pacing and an entire second half that just sucks.

Because before the vidya industry was bigger than the film industry, game budgets were smaller than movie budgets, fag.

Boomers had no attention spans. They were too busy watching MTV and playing Snake on their phones to finish their games.

>You're 100% right but these old faggots on this board will never admit to any of it. They'll play their crusty old shit forever because they're jaded, cynical, and think they are the only authority on quality.
how can you understand good game design if you don't expose yourself to different experiences? if the only things you play are modern games, your opinion is worthless to me, and you should fuck off to reddit. if you haven't spent a few thousand hours on games made between '85-'05 you have no place posting on /v/ or commenting on shitty modern vidya made by and for retards like you.

VTMB is choiceslop
>AHHHH I'm chooooooosing! what build should I do this time?
>malkavian? nosferatu? putting all my points into "stealth" that the devs forgot to playtest?
>which characters should I spare or kill? which waifu should I choose?
>what do you mean the entire 2nd half of the game is a linear combat slog where 50% of all possible builds are invalidated? git gud! should've read a walkthrough before you made wrong choices!
>>
>>742108302
There's not that many choices. Yes, unless you have Obfuscate, you should put points in stealth, there's no choice there. There's also no determining waifus, what are you even on about, and no "who to kill" that I can think of.
Also both melee and ranged are viable for endgame.
Really the only choice is clan.

I think you might have played a different game

didn't they just announce a CRPG like two weeks ago?
also that Hunter game
>>
>>742108856
tbf it feels late if you do all the downtown sidequests before you bother with the dane. In that case you do two full hubs before grouts manor.
