>>720686621How about comparing your game to a 21 year old RPG made on an alpha version of the source engine by like 10 guys in 3 years? You can't even beat that?
>shills xer own articlekys jewdy
>>720686621its not gonna have the scale of the original bloodlines either
>>720687179no thanks, I can shill whatever I want
>>720686621>MacgregorEvery time
>>720687179I forgot you retards still get mad at this.Here's a screenshot.
Nobody thought that's what this would be, but also we didn't want what it is.
>>720686621BG3 just lives rent-free in shitty developers' heads, doesn't it?
>>720686621>>720687501Is this the new normal? Garbage devs complaining about games with nothing better to show?
>>720686621But BG3 IS just a module? Who writes this shit?
>>720687150Apparently not. And unlike Troika, they won't have a loyal fanbase willing to make community patches for them.
>>720687747Jody Macgregor, says right on the byline, anon.
>>720687709yes? Have you not been paying attention since Silksong's release date was announced?
>>720687709Sadly, yes. Seems game devs would rather waste money on articles bitching about expectations than try to meet them.
>>720686621How can I possibly lower my expectations lower than "this looks like shit, i'm not buying it"?
>>720687501Journalists, not devs. The journalists are the ones who keep bringing it up.
>>720686621That's fair. So it'll cost $40 then?
>>720686621When there is a next game, the bare min comparison is the prev game. And other than not having "zones" with loading screens, this new one looks ass in every possible way with much fewer features.
>>720687987And who pays for articles whinging about high expectations for games? Shitty devs.
>>720686621>it's not going to have the scale of Baldur's Gate 3Why not?
>>720688198That would cost money that could instead be spent on informative articles explaining why customers are stupid for expecting anything from the games they buy.
>>720688162That's not it, mentioning Baldur's Gate 3 is clickbait, they don't mind burning devs in the process.
>>720686621Boy is this game super dead.
>lower your expectationslolhow long now before we get to the 'spare a thought for poor bloodlines a 2, and kind and earnest rpg sent out to die' articles??
>>720688198It's a much smaller team and they've never made an RPG before.
>>720686621I'll lower them to nothing and not buy it. Not clicking your link btw
>>720688521Why is a team that never made an RPG before making a sequel to a classic RPG?
>>720688492Roughly a week after release, like all the outlets that called Veilguard a "return to form".
>>720686621Its not even going to live up the first game
>>720687150>How about comparing your game to a 21 year old RPGBecause the interview didn't ask about that. The interviewer asked specifically about the impact of Baldur's Gate 3 on their game. How on earth is this hard for you people to understand?
>>720686621why is the protagonist so ugly? vampires are one of my favorite themes. i've never seen, such an ugly vampire protagonist
>>720686621Jesus Christ
>>720686621I'm sure they are going to lower their price accordingly.
>>720688663You never played a Nos run? It's basically a stealth game.
>>720688647Seriously. One job. Expand on an ancient PC game. I'm thinking they got overly ambitious, from all I've seen. Hell I would have been fine with them keeping the same graphics ffs.
>>720688839This game features no playable nosferatu.It would take too much effort so why bother?
>>720686621Bloodlines has shit gameplay but good art direction and writing. Bloodlines 2 has...?
why didn't paradox just cut their losses?
>>720689078Because they’re retarded
>>720689078>protag looks borderline like a bull dyke>God willingI'm not sure he does, chief.
>>720689078And do what, eke by on the millions of dollars of Crusader Kings and HOI DLC packs they sell?
I sure can't wait to play a...role-playing module.
>>720689078They want the 5 dollars this will make
>>720688993Both of those, but also good gameplay.
Ignore all doomposters.
>>720689316>>protag looks borderline like a bull dykeReally?
>>720686621>it won't be the scale of a shitty, unfinished gamefuckin' woof
>>720689524There are no doomposters, just people being honest.
>>720689536This is what people are mad about? Really?
>>720689524how when it's the dev doomposting their own game?
>>720689617ew a pajeeta i can smell the shit from here.
>>720689617>>720689536Marketer-san, your pictures still look like shit. Ask your boss for better ones.
>>720686621I love how this game basically had one thread every 2 weeks at most and now that it's getting closer to release we are naturally and organically getting these multiple daily threads. on an unrelated note how much do you guys think the jeets make per shill thread and why do they do it?
>>720689536>>720689617Yeah they really nailed the ugly middle aged lesbian that hangs out at dives bars and chain smokes aesthetic.
>>720689685She's Turkish I think.
>>720689646You should ignore the devs and everything they make.
>>720689646I'm confused. They were asked if their game was like Baldur's Gate 3. They correctly noted that (just like the original) it's not a game like that. VTMB was always about playing a fairly specific kind of character in a fairly specific kind of story. They also said that they didn't want the game to have a big, empty open world so they've gone for a more focused open hub world.
>>720689617>>720689536No TCR shill Phyre is ugly
>>720689821The secret to understanding is that none of the people commenting have played the original Bloodlines.
>>720689821It’s more that they’re telling people that the games aren’t going to be well made or very good.
>>720689828So are you faggot
>>720686621>VTMB2>expectations
>>720689536>>720689617
>>720690018>It’s more that they’re telling people that the games aren’t going to be well made or very good.What are you talking about?
Fine. Sell it cheaper then
>>720690393Asking me to play it for free it's already asking too much, anon.
>>720690356VtMB2 will be shit. Cope
>>720689715Does it count as shilling if the overall consensus is "man, this game's going to be complete ass"?
>>720690141You should be asking yourself that
>>720689828>PhyreCan't believe they stuck to that name
>>720689715As soon as the marketing campaign started, like exactly 2 months before release, the passive agressive shill has been posting the same defensive threads asking people to take interest and not judge this dumpster fire too harshly.
>>720690570No, there is some fag spamming threads sucking it off and basically advertising it.
>>720690769There are a couple of almost decent jokes already in the dialogue options. Are you trying to make The Chinese Room remove content?
>>720686621Why compare it to GTA?What an odd thing to say...
>>720690769They think its cool lol
>>720689078It's way too funny how the executives desperately want this nightmare project just to end and finally forget it.
>>720690996No you don’t, it’s some shitty name you would expect to see with someone’s super special snowflake tumblr OC. Don’t lie.
>>720686621Wait, why not though, you had like 3 times longer development and resources? This is that shit people talk about where noone was demanding this much shit be put into a game.Genuinely, they fucked up massively by trying to make a AAA game out of this. Its going to be "ok" and forgettable.
>>720686621
>>720691081he said THEY think it's cool you illiterate tard
>>720691085>Its going to be "ok"I think you still have delusional high hopes for it.
>>720691275Why are you replying for other people faggot? Did I upset you?
>>720686621And they will still charge more than BG3. Funny.
>>720691085tbf tcr had about half as much time as BG3, considering the game had to be entirely retooled from the Hardsuits Lab version
>>720691362Yes, you upset me by being an unintelligent pajeet and I have to live in a world where God hasn't put you out of your misery by hitting you with a train or something
>>720690347As a drinker, that guy probably felt so fucking good. As well as he should have slowed down if it's midday and he needed to vom that bad.
>>720691635>Yes, you upset me by being an unintelligent pajeetHuh? The projection here is really bad. Go eat some cow shit. It will make you feel better.
Okay shill anon, try to sell this game to me. As someone who doesn't care about Bloodlines but loves Temple of Elemental Evil and Arcanum, why should I buy this game?
>>720692019I don't give a shit. Don't buy it.
>>720691920>SAAAAAR DELETE DELETE DELETE THIS SAAAR YOU CAN'T SAY THIS TO ME!!!kys pajeet
>>720691920You are a stupid ugly fucking queer whose mother should have dumped then flushed after shitting you out.
>>720691920look at those weak faggot hands kek
>>720692210>>720692261>>720692332>pajeet goes into a rage when he is reminded of his own shit colored complexionlol, seethe more dalit. I wish the Black Death on your mother.
>>720692527it's insane that you are shameless enough to not only stay in the thread but also type this with your poorly-groomed chronic masturbator hands
Where did this meme come from that gta was big?4 ends very quickly and there's nothing to do. 5 is even smaller, there's nothing to do, some shitty mini-games and there's just the highway and desert. 2 places to go, really.
>>720686621What the fuck is this marketing strategy? >our game will shit just so you knowNobody expects the game to have the scale of GTA but if you just come out and say that you're scaring off customers for no reason. It's marketing 101 to focus on positive aspects of the game instead of making negative comments like that. If these retards can't understand this simple concept how do you expect them to make a good game? It's going to be Concord level of shit most likely.
>>720692527I'm disturbed when I see Indian cartoons where all the characters have light skin.
>>720692727Indians value pale skin like most places but vtmb?
>ugly vampire protagonist in a setting where vampires routinely seduce humans to drink themOne fucking game that would narratively justify gooner characters and they make the ugliest dyke imaginable. VTMB was made made commie sympathizers and yet they had no issues making the game horny as fuck. Why must everything today be ugly even if the plot itself demands otherwise?
>>720692986I thought seduction was mostly a Toreador trick? Other clans rely on hypnotism, stealth, or brute force.
>>720693150They specifically have the clan skill to seduce but any vampire can and does seduce humans by normal (and supernatural) means and it's part of the setting with its focus on night life and clubbing.It's like saying only Ventrue can persuade people.
>>720688663Real vampires are supposed to be ugly. You never seen Nosferatu?
>>720687501bg3 is the new skyrim
>>720692974indians with jewish handlers go the dark skin route
>>720692727Yeah they consider lighter skin to be a sign of wealth and purity. Which is why they seethe so much about white people.
>>720692670>poorly-groomed chronic masturbator handsIt’s amazing how even after you failed to project before you still have to put your disgusting shit on me. Really how vile are you going to get?
Paradox is known for making ugly PC games focused on some specific gimmick, why did just make a straight AAA RPG instead of focusing on what made the original VTMB so beloved? I don't think people would mind if they went cheap on the graphics even if it looked straight from PS3 and X360 era.
>>720693638It's funny considering like 20-30 years ago pale skin was considered poor and sickly and everyone wanted to get tanned
>>720694065Because they contracted a studio that made shit and hemorrhaged the budget so instead of cutting their losses, they decided to hire a fucking walking sim dev.
>>720694248Yeah fashion trends tend to be retarded. And the uptick in skin cancer put a damper on that one.
This game is going to be complete shit and everyone is coping and shitting and seething and dilating about it
>>720686621All of these west coast tranny-saturated dev studios are the laziest, least talented pieces of shit in the industry. They want to work for an hour or two a day and then fuck around on their phones and chill on bean bag chairs until 5PM. No passion. No ambition. Hope it flops and this scum gets fired
>>720694248Also wide shoulders and narrow hips on women were considered ideal and everyone deepfried their hair
>>720692670>poorly groomed handsI have never seen someone have "poorly groomed hands". Do you not trim and file nails in that village of yours?
>>720686621as long as you can have gay sex with a giant bat or some other animal bgtroons will eat it up
Would I be correct in saying it's over?
>>72068662150% discount during the Steam holiday sale and added to PS+/GamePass early next year.
>>720694491Stop encouraging crunch culture you fucking incel. Be thankful for our hard work and stop being entitled
>>720688603Because they got the rights and think they're smerty smert and can do it so much better.
Remember when /v/ shat on how DEI and ugly bg3 was?
>>720693696Lol looks like I hit the nail on the head
>>720688649So this interview is not fucking relevant to anyone who actually played Bloodlines.How fucking hard is this for you shills to understand?
>>720694387>saaaar
>>720688603Any established studio would cost more than what Paradox is willing to spend.
>>720686621Isn't this by Chinese Room? People's expectations should have already been low. They don't make games with gameplay
>>720694065What that made the original VTMB so beloved was the writing, like they had the lead writer of VTMB in charge of the sequel at first and then fired him.
>>720694725By me pointing out that you were projecting again? Are just regurgitating shit you’ve heard other people have said to you that pissed you off when they said them so you assume they work the same?
>>720695165>No but actually YOU are projecting despite you pointing out photo evidence of my disgusting hands that i posted myselfkek and bur
I’ve already seen the footage. I wasn’t expecting it to be GTA or BG3? I wasn’t expecting the Hardsuit version to be that either
>>720694672I still do.
>>720691920why are your fingertips so red? looks like inflammationalso fingernails aren't supposed to have visible segments
no one buying that shit with dyke on the cover lmao
>>720686621So that means they'll charge less, right?
