7 days left. Which clan will (You) pick?https://strawpoll.com/eJnvV579xnvprevious: >>723134474
the one that talked gibberish if it's in that game because it was the one i used in first one
>previous:
I can already see how hideous, revolting and fat all the incels who will play Toreador are. What a sad bunch of virgins. Also, go to /vg/ for your shitty generals you pathetic retard.
It's gonna be great
>>723188471>Schizo faggot that calls everyone a shill is about to lose his mind againBased thread. Going Lasombra and fucking Onda.
>>723188471Is there blood in those?
>>723188609>t.Projecting assmad Nosferatu
Torn between Lasombra and Assamites for that first run.The dumb contrarian in me wanting to play a ridiculously nice Lasombra just to go against type means it's probably going to be Assamite for that first run, though.>>723188694The Lasombra trailer really sold me on Onda as a character. I like NPCs with a mouth on them.
>>723188745Not anymore after I'm done with them
>>723188694im gonna enjoy it more knowing that the antishill retard will seethe
>No Salubri optionM-Maybe in the next game haahahahaha.....
>>723188471
>>723189078So like the first game?
>>723189017>>No Salubri optionWouldn't really work since you're a affront to the tremere and diablerie bait. You can't even go 'what about muh bana haqim, you don't need the tremere for magic' since the muzzies would drink your soul in a heart beat.

This is your radio host for the eveninghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WCPOuW4c6U
>>723189132Having played a recent V5 game with both a Salubri and an Assamite (yeah, yeah, new name; I'm old) the combination of both banes can go into hilarious catastrophe mode real fast.
>>723189345>She relaxed
>>723189623No, I don't think I will press play
>>723189623remember when things were cool, not lame?
>>723189127No, because now everyone looks lame and gay.
>>723188973did they make them smaller
No Ravnos no buy
>>723189623"Community ambassador"? According to who?
>>723188471Brujah looks pretty fun. It's between them & Lasombra.
Totally not trannies be like "i'm gonna play as female Phyre but i'm not trans"
>>723189864Maybe? They really thickened the dress material which makes them seem smaller at least
>>723188931Talking like that to elders, especially lasombra, is a quick way to meet the final death, neonate
>>723188931>The dumb contrarian in me wanting to play a ridiculously nice Lasombra just to go against typeSame. But I will make it a first run
>>723190149There is no point in playing female since 1) you can't make her hot, 2) there is actually no male/female, only 'they"
>>723188471>ZERO (0) votes for Banu HaqimWhy?
I'm planning on moving back to Washington early next year. Playing a game with Seattle as a setting is gonna feel pretty trippy
>>723188471Thread has a very weird vibe.
>>723190491>moving backWhy? Isn't Seattle a drug den now.
>>723188609I had this notion of a Toreador who hates the two faced politicking faggots and the uninterested uninspired bitches of the Anarchs and just fucked off after blowing LaCroix up. He instantly shitted on VV for being a manipulating cunt, but enjoyed hanging out with Isaac and felt sorry for Ash.You can have Toreador who are straight and are just as repulsed as you by that black chick's club "art exhibit", especially if they're elders. They'd have been admiring the art in Byzantium..Alas, Toreadors in Bloodlines 2 are faggots who smooch guys and dress like homos, so it's gonna be Ventrue for me
>>723190497ya the crazy dude yelling shill isn't ruining it
>>723189864yes
>>723190601Say what you will, but she looks better now
>>723188694>Onda means wave in spanish>Lasombra are connected to the seaCool.
You can tell how little sex someone has in real life by how much sex and sex appeal they wish to have in a videogame.
>>723190707the image I posted is the big titty in-game modelthey reduced her bustline in every future iteration of gameplay video, and now they're disastrously minuscule here >>723188973
>>723190707I'd like a version with TCR's face and Hardsuit's body

>>723190428I'm not voting, for one.>>723190260I didn't say I wasn't going to kill her, just that I liked her, childer.>>723190330Good luck with that. Hope you have a fun run.On an unrelated note, reading a book on French history mentionning a local gnostic sect named the Caïnites that made caine their hero as a symbol of working class vs Abel that just profited off the life of others...Going to have to dig into that.
>>723191317what?
>>723191317THERE HE IS!! THERE'S OUR SCHIZO!
>>723191102very important post
>>723191415>reading a book on French history mentionning a local gnostic sect named the Caïnites that made caine their hero as a symbol of working class vs Abel that just profited off the life of othersGot the name for that sect? Love to take a look myself
>>723190428>playing as a Muslim
I played it at Gamescom and I had a blast
>>723190149Playing as a female does not make you a tranny just like playing as a man does not make you gay.
I'll be playing as the "torrent" clan and pirating this slop to make shitposts for several weeks.
>>723188471>Lasombra dominatingThe REAL Clan of Kings
>>723190549>Isn't Seattle a drug den now.Only marginally more than your backwoods trailer park, MAGA schizo
No Tzimisce, No play
>>723188471I was gonna go Lasombra but the preview looked lame (makes sense for day one DLC turned into content I guess), so probably Tremere
>>723191814Ventrue on their knees. Oblivion stocks going up.
>>723191945>MAGA out of nowhereWhat....?
>>723191574They literally took the name from the original sect (which makes research a bit of a bother): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CainitesTied to the city of Lyon. I don't have much to go on but a paragraph mentionning them as a side note for now. Hopefully the digging in the bibliography will give better results.
>>723191720It truly is a return to form
do vampires like to do butt stuff?
Would there be borderline abusive ghoul romance?
>>723191726Cope.
>>723191814>No FortitudeFragile!
>>723188471Trenere because the leader is voiced by Sienna from Vermintide
>>723188471Nigga you're crazy I'm not playing this shit.
>>723188471This is gonna be hilarious lolRudi sisters we finna be eatin good
>>723192220They can do anything a normal human can do in bed by expending blood to reanimate their own bodies into a sort off living condition.
>>723192284It seems like they skip the ghoul thing and let you emrbace someone.
>>723192220Since they have to actively try to be lubed up one would think they are big fans of it. Like, what's the difference at that point?
>>723189819No.i always tought the West Coast was lame disguised as cool.
>>723192284There should be.
>>723192220Anarchs do
>>723192558Really, did they talk about it in like the trailers or something?I didn't watch any of them.
>>723192625It's in the trophy list
>>723192042You're not reading this in Irenaeus of Lyon, right?
>>723192625Nope.we know due to leaked achievements, apparently you either embrace a black glowie working for the second inquisition to fuck with her, or a little chink girl.
>>723188471>Which clan will (You) pick?Can't decide honestly, they all look pretty cool and distinct in both abilities and narrative flavour. Most of the time i play as goody two shoes warriors in RPGs, but it's WoD here, so no one is really "good". Toreador is yet to be revealed, so i'll postpone my decision until i'm actually making a character in game. Banu Haqim sounds cool, but they're muzzies, Lasombra is cool for that Church charade and preacher's outfit, but they're dicks and former Sa**at too. An idealistic old-school Brujah trying to solve problems without bloodshed, failing, and resorting to high power brawling? Sounds good.
>>723189642I like the Salubri. They have a lot of potential for stories, more than people think, but oddly only as pets and vampire gf for the other types of beings. My Mage had a Salubri GF and the raid on the Chantry when we had to rescue her was amongst one of the best encounters we have we ever had as a party, not just me saying it either...then again our Storyteller was big into anime in a GOOD way for our campaigns so things got very Pink Mohawk half the time.
>>723192805oh wait she's not chinese, huh i remembered her having slanted eyes.
Either Lasombra or Tremere
I hope the game flops badly
>>723192996You don't have to hope, retard.
Oh, no. She's adorable.
Based on achievement leaks>Damsel comes back>You can kill the Prince>5 endings based on who you side with, one of them involves Phyre ruling Seattle
I wonder when reviews will drop.
>>723192889>Toreador is yet to be revealed, so i'll postpone my decision until i'm actually making a character in game.Their abilities were revealed but it was all lame. Ventrue does everything they do except better in every way. Weird.
>>723193086Why would I want Phyre to rule Seattle? Being a prince sounds fucking awful.
>>723192996I hope it's good
>>723192805>>723192973Okay, but who would ever choose to embrace a fat ugly monkey over this tiny asian girl?
post the black girl, I want to see the queen.
>>723193086>Yes Man ending where you ruleCool, I like being a power hungry bastard.
>>723193042It mist feel weird for the people who designed the original cast of Bloodlines 2 seeing them warped and completely rewritten like this.
>>723193249Here's your Current Year Safe Horny Heather for VTMB2, anon.
>>723192220Can Vampires even have sex? Do they still have the desire?
>>723193187This, lol, no one sane would want to be a prince. Well, maybe if you are a meth or something.
>>723193308I have thought about that too.
>>723193356damn, that's not shawty, that's someone's aunty.
>>723193389well yeah, she's a federal agent.
>>723193356I kinda like her design, but it's telling that this design was done by Americans while Onda's design was done by Brits.
>>723193356>>723193389>>723193436Here's the original Heather from back when everyone was a heckin misogynist male gaze chud! Say YAAAASSSSS for social progress and civil rights! We're on the right side of history!
>>723193356Yeah she's dying
>>723192790No no, supposedly it's an 18th century thing.The bit is weird though, I find no other trace of it, and the bibliography holds no actual mention of source, so might be a dud - won't be the first time in the field. Currently trolling Gallica.I'll be disappointed if I find nothing. >>723192947There's also the Salubri = "not-paladin" crowd that flocked to the Salubri-antitribu when Revised was released.
>>723193356I throw up
>>723193523I don't like glasses on girls
>>723193389dat aunty is unc cuh
>>723193138Yeah, i also like high CHA persuader characters, so Ventrue is also on the table. Would really suck to lose all those Dominate attempts. Maybe being a Ventrue unlocks some unique interactions with Lou, who knows. A penniless Ventrue smooth-talker, or a idealistic short-sighted Brujah brawler? Decisions, decisions.
>>723193587bad taste
>>723193469We're a mentally and spiritually raped nation, plz understand.
>>723193565Fascinating! Strange with no addition of a footnote for such an interesting claim, but hopefully something turns up, potentially.
>>723193523brother she looks like a chudjak on a dress, i like Heather but she is not pretty.
>>723193604Depends if you want to cast more or be up close too I guess. I can't stand Brujah on a conceptual level, myself.
Pictured: me, the prince of Seattle>>723191720my blood blound wife>>723193356my childe, whom I turned into a vampire as a joke
>>723193587good taste
>>723193587>>723193668>akshually heather was always ugly so ugghh MIGHT AS WELL be a black baboon granny ANYWAY it's not like it makes ANY difference rightWhat did they mean by this?
Since this is a guaranteed flop, i'll just wait for the inevitable discount on steams christmas sale
>>723193771When we have mods that make her a hot black slut then I'll do a playthrough where I turn her
>>723193741>Priest VampireHow would they rationalize their existence? A test by God and they somehow need to become human again? Vampires are Gods chosen? Jesus was a vampire? They committed some mortal sin when they were still human and this is their punishment?
Do retards really not know how to pirate?
>>723193587she has alternate outfits where her glasses are removed>>723193668she was supposed to look somewhat average, she's not supposed to be like vv or jeanette. but to say she's ugly is wild.
>>723193771no idea what you're yapping about, i'm embracing the other one.>>723193741>>723193356>Lasombra>is a niggerbravo Kojima
>>723193871She will be perfectly sculpted to be built for the main characters BWVC
>>723193848>Since this is a guaranteed flop i'll spend money on itwhy tho
>>723193883It varies, but WoD DA had a path of Christhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Path_of_ChristI also remember one vampire who supposedly witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus and grew deeply religious as a result.
>>723193883Some think that God acts through them to tempt and scare humans
>>723193684One of my latest VtmB playthroughs was a Union Boss high humanity max Fortitude, Dodge and Melee Ventrue who liked to be up close and personal with his sledgehammer when shit's go down.
>I'm the only person to pick Banu Haqim so farI understand they're relatively obscure, especially compared to many of the clans from the original game, but am I missing something here? Isolationist Middle Eastern vampires that are perceived as being assassins and diablerists by outsiders, while really just being concerned with trying to stay as uninvolved with the Jyhad as possible is a pretty cool aesthetic. Even in previous threads for the sequel, I never see anyone who seems interested in them, whereas they have been my first choice ever since they were confirmed years ago.
>>723194071Hmm
>>723193883Lasombra were heavily involved with the Catholic Church in the middle ages, seeking to gain influence and power.
>>723193936i don't think she's ugly per se, just think she looks weird and mannish with the way the hair looks like a wig and the shading looks like a 5 o' clock shadow.
>>723193893zoomoids can't even comprehend folders, piracy is way beyond them
>>723194086>all those brujah4chan is antifa now???
>>723194223I can't be bothered with piracy anymore, especially since I'm sharing games with my gf.
>>723194086Cause everyone knows them as assamites, instead of nu-wods "banu-haqim", and Lasombra were always a fan favourite
>>723193359They can but they'd much rather bite.
>>723194187I don't care what their face looks like when their tits look like that
>>723194363ew...I don't remember her tits being those fake bolt ons....
>>723193993>Feeding from an innocent without permission. >Failing to spread the Gospel of Christ. Kek. I'm just imagining a monstrous looking Nosferatu wearing a big cross around his neck going up to a strung out hobo, explaining what he is, asking permission to drink the hobos blood, and also proselytizing the good word to him.
>>723194279same, my big tiddy goth gf is excited to play I'm not going to deprive her.
>>723193523She had a very trashy design and was a retarded boring characterTHe only people who like her are underage porn addicts.
>>723193356>We went from sovl hunters like Bach to generic gov. goon Grim
>>723193356The achievement icon is ambiguous. Also, I feel like if you only had one embrace option it would just say that. Same with the agreeable companion.
>>723194234'member 'nonymous? i 'member
>>723194542that's v5 for ya
>>723194361I thought they couldn't feed on each other because it's haram
>>723194547what *is* Onda's secret?Blade of Mercy implies some act of kindness or something. >>723194681That's only diablerie, which is sucking out the soul too
>>723194642i regret pirating that shit
>>723194681Vampires can feed on each other to create mutual blood bonds and there are achievements for that in this game.
>>723194720So you can bite your vampire gf and she bites you? Neat.
>>723192973She doesn't look too bad desu, if you can change her clothes, she'd be really cute. I'm already interested about her role in the story and her personality. The other sheboon is a hard pass though.
>>723194720Onda cut some kind of deal to get i to the Camarilla, and Tolly.sends you to find out what it was. (From the Lasombra trailer.) No idea what the secret is, though.
>>723188471Can't wait for this to flop Dan Pinchbeck's cumslut
>>723194853she looks like a 12 year old did her make up
>>723194681only if you drain someone dry to take their mojo
>>723194853Lou wants her. You can either persuade her to go to Lou, or warn her off. It's possible there's a third option where you embrace her, but who knows. She could be one of the characters who only appears during Fabien's sequences.
>>723194547>Finish the game with an agreeable companionWhat's that supposed to mean? Such wording can imply a number of different things and different characters. Is it about Fabian? Or your childe? Or someone else entirely?
Is this a bunch of shills just talking to each other. I can't believe people are excited to this play this after the numerous delays AND changing studio to the walking sims devs.
>>723194418it was the style at the time
Lou has a nice ass
>>723188471Never heard of it.
>>723195131When xe gives you the dyke stare.
>>723195063It means character you "romanced" insomuch as the game has such a thing.
>>723194418getting a bit too obvious there, buddy. take it easy, we'll all play the game the lasombra way of course
>>723195119VtmB is one of my favourite games, there's no way in hell i'm skipping this, no matter how shite it might turn out to be. I'll be pirating it day one.
>>723195119Would it even be a Bloodlines sequel if development went smoothly?
>>723195225My dick can fix her.
>>723188471I'm not playing this dogshit, nice try dev
>>723195341>pirating good
>>723195341based
>>723189017There's like 7 of them in the lore of Revised. Not sure how many in V5.
>>723195119It looks like a pretty serviceable narrative game given the dogshit development cycle. The game will live or die by the performance of "Phyre" being a voiced, forced protag which honestly doesn't seem too great, but we'll see
>>723194086For me it's between lasombra and banu haqim but lasombra seems to be the basic bitch clan this time around. Their abilities seem more fun though and I never liked stealth gameplay too much.
>>723188471I think I'm just going to play the original.
>>723195862i wish i could desu, gone through so many times i don't feel the magic anymore, it's just work.
>>723194419Jehova Witness nosferatu with the Infestation clan bane variant.
>>723195843wait, mc is voiced?It's over then, voiced MC does so much bad shit to story and interactivity
>>723196270It can't be any worse than the first game.
>>723196270Yes with a forced shitty name
>>723196406*chokeslams you*
>>723188471Nobuyor clan
>>723188471the Nonbuyseratushehehe
>>723196270Yeah, no two ways around it. Fallout 4 will forever remain a testament to that. But a non-voiced protag means they can't get lazy with the writing and the amount of it, and i don't think TCR have the writing chops for it, so maybe they also knew that and are playing to their strenghts, if they even have any. We shall see soon.
>>723195956Just wait a few years.
>>723196482Bloodlines 1 dialogue options are>Yes.>Yes (Initimidate)>Yes (Seduce)>Tell me more.
>>723196406>>723195251
>>723188471None. This is not a Bloodlines sequel.I'm sticking with the 1st game.
>>723195226Not necessarily, it could just mean being friendly with Fabien. The romance achievement is Blood Betrothal. Patience and Onda also get their own achievements since they were originally DLC.
>>723188471>no one wants to play the designated stealth clan in the brawler gamelol, lmaoLasombroads are in for a bright sunrise when they realize how shit Lasombra abilities are.
>>723197129Blood Betrothal is for when you drink from skill trainers to unlock the clan tree.
>>723197129It could refer to Fabien, true.
>>723190601Wasn't she based on Christina Hendricks? The in-game model looks nothing like her.>>723188973
>>723197007Bloodlines 1 will never be a bad game shill
>>723197326Drinking directly from their veins makes you bound to them.
>>723188471None faggot. Nobody is buying this obvious trash.
>>723188609fakecels pick toreadeor, truecels know tremere is the only way
>>723197476Xhe is so beautiful...
>>723193356Ginger into a nigger cause they are the same lmao.
>>723197398That was just the first cinematic trailer, none of those models were for the game.
>>723197398The character is based on an actual person. The resemblance to Hendricks was maybe coincidental. The one line of her dialogue we heard sounded an awful lot like her.
tremere are meme vampires of course troons love tremeres
>>723197476trvke
>>723188471Man. The last time i got hyped for a game was... shit. Damn probably Batman Arkham Knight. Any other game that should appeal to me turned out to be shit. I doubt this game will be any different
Someone needs to leak a physical copy and post screens of my wife Damsel immediately.
>>723197419Which could be a problem for you later, I suppose.
>>723193224It's not a "choice". The art for the cheevo/trophy matches the hairstyle, so people are speculating Verona and/or the nigress are valid Embrace targets.
>>723188471>almost no assamites|you better belieeeeve that's a dingdong banuend of rine
>>723197418>shillhe said the line! you're such a loser LMAO
>>723193086>You canNo, dude. It already happened.
>>723188471not playing this trash, shill
What's with the lasombra votes? Do people just want shadow powers?
>>723193108I wonder when we get our first dim-witted streamer mongoloid with an early copy that posts to Twitch instead of Catbox.
>>723198027Lasombra are Ventrue, but better
>>723189819... have you seen the devs of the original game? why are you fake fans like this?
>>723197806Doing it once just makes you feel strongly about them. Doing it three times in a short period of time makes you lose your free will.
>>723198027yeah just edgelords probably
>>723198154show me
>>723193308better writers got a hold of the characters, don't feel too bad.
>>723198027The only appealing thing about Lasombra is the Church aesthetics. If you can equip the preacher drip on any clan for extra dialogues that would be sweet.
>>723188471>vtmb1 on release, buggy pile of shit with terrible combat, shitty rushed ending and barely any side questsvtmb2 sure will have a high ceiling to aim toward!! KEK.
>>723189623You can hear the fat, god I was hoping for more Deb of night. But not like this man
>>723198402Her Bet voice is pretty good, I can pretend she's not fat.
What class lets me be as /drac/ as possible? I want to be Dracula as fuck.
>>723198027new thing cool
>>723198452No it isn't.
>>723198452I'll try not to hate it anon, but no promises
>>723198467Like is it so much to ask? You already cut out the open world. Theres like no RPG. This game is about to be a fucking disasterpiece. Just let me be a proper vampire
>>723198354i can fix herand by fix her i mean turn my life into flaming wreckage
>>723198467which version of dracula?the one who seduced all the chicks?the one who impaled a shitload of turks?the one who was a noble ruler?
>>723198694The one thats a respectable Count in the day and a monster by night. I'll settle for Vlad the implyer too.
>>723198803Ventrue or Lasombra would be closest
>>723198694which one is the turk impaler
>>723194234Their clan abilities are tied with Toreador for best matching the high-speed, low-defense, brawler combat system.Anyone choosing a clan based on anything other than mechanics is a retard. This is a video game, not a TTRPG.
>>723188471>check the pollWhat the fuck? Is Nosferatu not in this one?
>>723199264Anon, I.....
>>723198580>You already cut out the open world.What are you talking about?
>>723199128tzimisce or brujah maybe
>>723199140Not playing your fake brujah clan
>>723199264sorry bwo.they took the time to develop eight unarmed styles, but not a Nos Clan.
>>723188471>No TzimisceDisappointing.
>>723199264Nos was never on the table, too much work for an ugly clan most people don't want to play.
>>723194720Her secret is obviously that she killed someone, specifically, someone that it'd be bad news if it got out. As >>723194893 said, this was a service to the Camarilla so she could get in.
>>723198354>barely any side questsretard
>>723199290>>723199431I haven't interacted with this game at allAll I was hyped for was playing as a female NossyFuck
>>723189345This is one of my favourite moments in the game. Unintentional comedy gold
>>723199431To be fair implementing the Nos well would take a lot of time and effort, but the last game had playable Nos (came out 21 years ago btw) so there's no excuse for this game to not have them as well.
>>723197007You get plenty of options to insult and refuse or outright kill various NPCsI can't tell if this is shilling or trolling or maybe it's just the same thing now
>>723199412The fact you can put Lou in charge shows TCR understood the assignment, unlike BioWare's last few games.
Tolly the raging fag seems like the ironically obvious choice for Prince because it seems like he's the only character being straight with you.
>>723188471this is the first time a shill thread convinced me to buy their slop
>>723197418>shill
>>723199579One has to wonder whether this is some meta-ironic shill-troll because at this point it's getting kinda funnyAnd if I can just say, the original Deb of Night was completely uninspired and dull and frankly sounded unsexy. This Bet girl is much better and the new commercials are much funnier. I also believe it's good that there's no hacking or lockpicking, since those were just in the way. It's a good thing that they removed computers in general, come to think of it.
>>723198354VTMB1 was like a poster case of aim for 100 land at 70. And art through adversity.Like I once apocraphialy heard it was initially imagined as something like GTA with WoD vampires. If that's true you can clearly see elements of the imagined super in depth open world and a vague overline main quest but the meat of the game being sidequests and just running around. The first hub being the most in depth and open to making your own story, and at the end Chinatown mostly just being a collapsed string of quests with a hub theme. It's a crash landing, but it's a great crash landing.
>>723194234a lot of brujah are also skinheads and shit, not all of them are libtard antifa wannabes
>>723199774The last game was overscoped which was the reason why even the first version of this one had stripped out features and content by comparison. On release, those nosferatu were playable up until the point when you'd hit a gamebreaking bug. The game would just crash because the location you were supposed to be transported to wasn't scripted correctly and it shipped like that because no one had QA'd nosferatu at all.
>>723197946you think its one person, retarded shill
>>723195226They haven't shown A SINGLE man flirting with you in the entire game. Guess they are really pandering to the incel toreador and transbian players.
>>723198467Tzimisce, which is not playable.
>>723188568There is no Malkavian, incidentally why I won't buy this slop
I'm surprised so many people like Brujah and Tremere. Why? they are so fucking boring. The "mage clan" doesn't have any special "lore" all vampire clans have magic, and Brujah is so lame and... ugh... black.
>>723201182No special lore? They literally stole their Vampirism by eating an antideluvian, most other clans hate them for this fact. But they don't care because they're fucking wizards with sunglasses nigger, and are so powerful that despite not being one of the original clans they have been accepted by the camarilla. How is that boring.
>>723194086they should be way more popular now considering ur-shulgi kicked all the muzzies out
Reminder that this game will be nothing like the original, won't have any of the things that made it great and will barely improve on its flaws. If you genuinely are excited to buy this you disgust me.
>>723201478im not gonna lie the character design looks woke and retarded nothing like the hypersexualized kino we had, completely misses on the "sexy vampire" thing the first game did so well
>>723201575there's more characters in bloodlines than just jeanette and vv chud
I’m probably gonna play it anyways
>>723201645theres no one like jeanette and vv in this game, nigga, the whores don't even look whorish
>>723201686im gonna wait till it gets cracked then enjoy the slop
>>723201708Oh shit you've played it? Lucky guy
>>723201792you know perfectly well that if there were a single sexy girl they would've showed her already specially in 2025 with the chud reich in power, don't be dense cmon
>>723201912>>723199412
>>723201978now compare that to jeanette or vv or even heather, spoiler, it's not even closeshe literally has a fridge body with some cleavage slapped on top, i don't care if you wanna play the game or you think it will be good but you can't disagree on it being a lot more tame and safe than the original
>>723201182I'm ancient so I actually played Vampire Redemption and it kind of set the tone for me that Brujah are the main character clan.I maintain it's a good clan with a varied character that allows for individual heroism. You can be a devout high humanity christian that views vampirism and its shadow society as an evil blight and be Brujah, fighting for independence. You can be a tyrannical edgelord and be Brujah. You can be special snowflake academic and be Brujah. You can be a simple no nonsense lol I punch them with my fist street fighter and be Brujah. You can be Camarilla, Anarch, Sabbat, or autarkis and be 100% Brujah.Tremere I'll probably play. I don't particularly like their vibe as mages or absolutely love the clan, but they end up being a good safe haven if you can't stand the other clan's bullshit baggage. For whatever reason, Tremere always seem to end up some of the least cringy in characters. Maximillian strauss, Aisling Sturbridge, Etrius, even their generics and fails are pretty cool and vampirey. When Brujah characters go bad, it's very, very bad and cringe. 90% of Ventrue I wouldn't want to be around. They have a good aesthetic. They're very European, kind of gothy, cultured and stylish without going to extremes. And blood powers are just fun, even if they are kind of weird for vampires. Especially fitting for a game that won't let you hold a gun for some reason.
>>723188471>Phyre the Vampire>Fabien the MalkavianGood job, chink room. I'm sure the writing in this game will be excellent.
Trannies already seething that the game forces them to play as male due to Fabien
>>723201478I have 0 hope for it but I will be pirating it as soon as I can, maybe the mods can unwokeify it?
I wanna be a werewolf. Can I be a werewolf?
im here for my government assigned vamp gf
as an obvious monkey's paw, after 21 fucking years I'll take what I can get
>>723202331>female character is actually a man deep down
this game's gonna suck but hopefully we'll get some good blender porn of lou
>>723201472Other way around. Playable ones are muzzie refugees that dindu nuffin.
probably wont enjoy it, but ill still pirate it to take a look at it for a cup of hours
They should make the next game set in the 90s or early 2000s with grungy, edgy leather clad vampires.Bloodlines 2 isn't even out yet and I'm already tired of its character design and setting, romantic goth and nu goth fashion are fucking trash
>>723202175LOL Brujah are just the designated antifa turbofaggots. You know I'm right.
>>723203152WoD vampires should look like this
WoD vampires should look like this
>>723201472one simply knows
>>723202175>Brujah are the main character clanwell this is definitely a brujah mindset thank you for this insight into who plays them

>>723206293poorfags sure have some imagination
>>723205867That's not Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust nor episode 2 of Cyber City Oedo 808. You keep picking the wrong shit>>723206000Malks aren't autistic and the in-game model isn't as cute as your fanart
>>723206384can you help me understand how you guys manage to undercook some nuggets when they all come from the same fryer?
>>723206459I'm sure that would fascinate you to no end, being the fat, food obsessed gf-less loser you are. Unfortunately for you I do not work in fast food, apologies.
>>723203923is this a girl walks home alone at night? did they release a colorized version that i missed? i loved that movie
>>723206440Bloodlust and Episode 2 of Cyber City didn't take a decade to make and aren't the greatest accomplishment of modern day animation. (cool as they are)
>>723188471every "woman" in this game looks like a tranny
>>723206570wagecucks sure have some imagination
>>723206728maybe if you paid for some things girls wouldn't find you so creepy
>>723205867the first anime is way better than the second

>>723206815got plenty more money to spend on them because i don't buy games, you on the other hand, blow your fast food shekels on a children's hobby, i'm sure women love that
>>723206614No that's Humanist Vampire Seeking Consenting Suicidal Person, a lesser version of the movie you mentioned. Which is a lesser version of The Addiction>>723206659Hellsing fell off once it changed studios which is why it took so long to finish

>>723207657oh so you just have a cuck fetish
>>723207332Watch Near Dark or Let The Right One In if you want some real vampire kino. Near Dark is the go-to movie if you like the SabbatThere's also this german movie called Blood Red Sky which isn't that good but has some cool wassail representation
>>723207657>tinder first match meat>gfoh no no
>>723207657thats a slampig with floppy tits but im gonna jerk off to your whore of a gf anyway thank you cuck
What even is this game? What's your goal? Is it vampire fallout? Expected length? Can I spend my time turning people into vampires and breaking into buildings? How come they were going to put clans behind a pay wall and wtf was the game going to be like without them?
>>723207949I've seen the OG swedish Let The Right One In & that was fantastic, despite my partner at the time not being into it lol. Near Dark has been on my list for a while, I'll check that & Blood Red Sky for sure soon
I seriously feel like the only motivation to go from one objective to another is to get to the next part where you can flirt with/fuck Lou. And any time Damsel shows up it's going to be wondering why you can't fuck/help her.The desire for such things is only because I know it isn't going to happen. It is so beyond any expectation that these people making video games today will actually make the thing horny men want. Because they sure as fuck can't make a fun game so all we can pray for is porn, because it's so easy to make but the industry is so fucking useless it can't even do that.I also want the protagonist to be completely baffled by civilization because they went to sleep just as the Europeans were discovering America. Like metaphorically YOU are the thing that was in the sarcophagus.
>>723208146You will follow the fag-malks detective vision and act as the Ancient gopher for thinblood who at least know how to use an cellphone and you'll like it!
>>723208146You're a vampire who has awakened after a century or two of sleep into modern Seattle, and need to find your place into vamp society without breaking the "masquerade" of letting humans know your kind exists. Your character also has another vamp's presence & memories in your head that presumably will help you fill in some story gaps/give you insight into the vampire clans & how they've grown into their modern age versions. Plus you feed on humans and have cool vamp powers
>>723206459The nuggets sometimes are frozen together. If you throw a huge lump of nuggets into the fryer the frozen sides, not fully exposed to the oil for the cook duration, will not cook at the same rate. You're supposed to break the nuggets up into individual pieces before throwing them into the fryer but some people don't care or there are too many orders and they have to rush.
>>723208557I'm still confused. Does this mean you'll face vampire hunters and the police and shit? Is there werewolves? Is it a big open world? I have the first game but I was looking at buying something new for the winter
>>723188471incoming fotm flop strictly for sub 70iq normie faggots who will play for a week and forget about itreal vtm fans are playing ng4
>>723188471Anyone who pays for this is unironically an idiot
>>723188597Yeah you don’t know? There is a shill pushing this shit hard. He’s paid to post this trash here and create these generals. He even goes on lunch breaks and shit. His only defense against this is crying “anti-shill” and showing that he is in fact paid to do this. He even started preemptively seething and talking to himself here >>723188694>>723188993
>>723209281>spoilerNINJA GAIDEN 4?
>>723209281Flavor of the month implies that anyone is going to give a fuck about it. This game is DOA and the only fag that says otherwise is the retard that makes these threads. He’s been at it for months and gets more retarded with every thread.

A poster on RPGCodex claims to have the game. They do say some odd stuff. For example, "Your choice of clan matters very little compared to Bloodlines and rarely pops up in dialogue (and I think once in total so far as a dialogue choice)." Your clan is mentioned all the time by Fabien and Lou and other characters. So it's possible the person is just a retard. Also, the poster doesn't seem to understand why you would flirt with the clan contacts, so he's probably also autistic.>Quick impressions after 15 hours: combat is okayish, but suffers from a lack of enemy variety (it's 99% a handful of variations of ghouls). Traversal mechanics are fine, allowing you to either jog around on the streets like in the original, or use alleyways and rooftops to quickly get from A to B (using vampiric abilities while in sight of mortals breaks the masquerade, obviously). You also have a lot of mobility in combat with dodges, jumps, slides and - depending on clan and build - various vampiric abilities like teleport, bullet time etc. Which is needed, because the combat is harder than I expected. Not that it's terribly difficult, but even on Normal you will die if you just button mash as soon as you start facing more and/or powerful enemies. And Hard is, well, hard. Overall, an improvement over Bloodlines when it comes to traversal and combat. Though that isn't saying much, as combat was always the weak point of the original. Still, Bloodlines 2 is alright in this regard. Unfortunately they bungle it by throwing way too many enemies at you so you have to grind your way to your objective, artifically inflating the game length.
>>723209596>A poster on RPGCodexGo back there and stop making shit threads on shit games
>>723209596>Conversely, the writing is the weakest part of this game, as expected. Your choice of clan matters very little compared to Bloodlines and rarely pops up in dialogue (and I think once in total so far as a dialogue choice). You can at various points elaborate a little on the Nomad's history, tailoring it, but it seems like complete fluff as I have yet to seen any of it come up a single time after establishing it. Dialogue is filled with Telltale-like indications of the effects. "X liked that, X was aroused by that, X was irritated by that" and so on and just like in Telltale games I'm left to wonder how much (or if at all) it affects anything. The bigger problem is that the game fails to establish interesting characters (perhaps aside from not-Christina Hendricks), and I struggle to get invested into the plot. Most egregious of all here is, very much as expected, Fabien and his incessant chatter, constantly demystifying everything that happens and making sure to destroy any attempt at atmosphere and immersion with his never-ceasing "banter". There's also lengthy flashback sequences when you play as Fabien before he ended up in the Nomad's head. Somewhat paradoxically, this is the part I get the closest to engaged in because it focuses purely on story and dialogue, and Fabien's Malkavian powers allows him to do everything from make people think he's someone he's not (with the caveat that you don't know who they think you are either, so you have to try to play along), to talk with inanimate objects like a telephone (cue Ralph Fiennes) and gain insights by prodding your subconscious. Unfortunately, this is also very railroady. Side quests are mostly pointless filler content given out by the various clan contacts (whom you can also unlock clan powers with and, for some reason, flirt with). Don't bother with this shit.The fact they don't find Safia interesting tells me they're a complete brainlet. Codex has always been like that.
>developed by a team whose greatest achievements are glorified walking simulators who value diversity and inclusion above all else>remove one of the few people on the original development team who worked on the first game>template character with the dumbest fucking tranny friendly name on the face of this gay earth: PHYRE>customization limited to hairstyle, eyes, clothing, skin, you will look like a dev self insert no matter what>utterly devoid of anything that made the original bloodlines memorable>nostalgiabait "hey remember the original game you liked so much" DLC>neverending backseat tutorial presence, the possibility of drawing your own conclusions or solving anything is all but impossible>dialogue that makes fallout 4 seem like it had depth
>>723209528>proof is schizophrenic I posted literal archive links of you doing this shit and you have been at this for over twelve hours and literally linked the last thread you did this where you denied nothing and just had a mental breakdown for hours. Not to mention you have admitted to being a paid shill among other pathetic shit. You have no leg to stand on whoreson. You’re just going to devolve into a gibbering heap spamming all you retarded ugly characters and trying to force engagement and talking points you get fed.
>>723209165Since you supposedly """have the first game"""" then you should be familiar that yes, you'll have consequences for breaking the masquerade around police or other humans No clue on werewolves, but probably not as nothing in the pre-release material suggests it. It's an "open world" with a few instanced hubs and connecting NPCs like the first game you supposedly have.
>>723209405yes>>723209462touche>>723209483lol no
>Advertising (all forms) is not welcome—this includes any type of referral linking, "offers", soliciting, begging, stream threads, etcFunny how spamming the same dick sucking thread and trying to force conversation while advertising every single retarded detail doesn’t count as a form of advertising? I mean I guess shilling doesn’t count as advertisement. Actually let’s look that up.Shill: noun, an accomplice of a hawker, gambler, or swindler who acts as an enthusiastic customer to entice or encourage othersSo yeah it’s definitely a form of advertisement since the purpose is to manipulate someone into buying a product by making them think it’s good and that other people want it. Yet the mods and jannies do nothing? I mean I know why, it’s because they’re paid not to (the mods are anyway) since this site needs revenue to stay afloat.
>>723209662>The world itself is very dead and static. It's basically designed exactly like it was in Bloodlines, and feel reminiscent of it, but with prettier graphics and worse atmosphere. And it's 2025 now, not 2004. Static open worlds are pretty fucking out of date (ask Avowed). At least the Atrium level and boss fight was a thumbs up, or would've been if Fabien could SHUT THE FUCK UP.>Anyway, we'll see if it can salvage itself towards the later stages. Not expecting it to.>TLDR: Not as shit as I had expected it to be, but pretty bad all the same.The Fabien we have in the game is written the way he is because that version tested well. So I'd wager that people who don't like him are going to be in a minority. It's really a demographic thing. RPG Codex is full of the kind of people who are not at all the demographic for these kind of franchise revivals (Deus Ex Human Revolution is hated there).
>>723188471Can you bang this woman in the game?
Does the game have older women?
>>723209815they all look like men in drag if thats your thing
>>723200916>no MalkavianFucking ridiculous, who the fuck decided that?It was the most soulful part of the game.Guarantee they did it because the writers aren't creative enough to come up with shit like the broadcaster talking directly to you, without turning it into reddit-tier bullshit.
>>723194363everyone's tits are the exact same in that game.you have to imagine how flat she is.
>>723209838the whole game is guaranteed to be totally redditfriendly full of capeshit level quipping and other fag dialogue, just go look at thechineserooms website and see their priorities
Here’s a better strawpoll that’s asks a real question https://strawpoll.com/40Zm4WdOAga
>>723209792>The Fabien we have in the game is written the way he is because that version tested well.With who?>So I'd wager that people who don't like him are going to be in a minority.LMAO it's already fucking annoying having to split player content with that Gary Stu Silverhand ripoff instead of just letting you play the character you created. Fucking stupid.
>>723209838>Guarantee they did it because the writers aren't creative enough to come up with shit like the broadcaster talking directly to you, without turning it into reddit-tier bullshit.Instead you talk to your evidence and the evidence talks back to you.
>>723209918>With who?other shills, dev team members, and jeetoids
>>723209834But can you bang?
>>723209483wait is this the BR, its still running?there was another vampire/monster BR-moba thing i actually really liked but it got immediately shut down, i think before full launch even
>>723208414You are literally the elder in the sarcophagus in the warehouse from the Tremere ending!Oh noes, Fabien! Why did you opened it! :<
>>723209918>With who?Playtesters. The original version of Fabien was seen as too whiny, downbeat, and self-righteous.
>>723209962i dont knowwhy would you want to? it would be extremely lame even with actual decent looking characters. just go play an actual porn game or some shit if thats what you're preoccupied with
>trying to ad-sell the game based on a model>completely avoid talking about how bad the combat is
>>723200916>>723209838Ummm akshually even though you as the player can't be Malkavian that doesn't mean Malkavian isn't in the game. You see, even though YOU can't choose it for your character you're forced to play as a safe-crazy Malkavian Johnny Silverhand named Fabian that's the developer's pet of the game! Isn't that a nicr consolation prize?! Giving the developer's pet Gary Stu a clan that you're banned from choosing?! Wouldn't the players of VTMB1 just love that?!
>this dude is actually unironically talking to himself>he thinks this is somehow going to generate sales as if it isn't totally transparent
>>723210003>Oh noes, Fabien! Why did you opened it! :<To kill Prince Campbell.Do we know who the hooded vampire killer is yet? Is it Pyhre? The vampire killer appeared around the same time Phyre went into torpor, which seems sus.
>>723209989yeah it is still going, not many players around but pretty fun on weekends
I'm pirating regardless unless they add Denuvo so I'm immune to shilling
>>723210075>>completely avoid talking about how bad the combat isThe combat is very good. There's possibly a touch too much of it, though.
>>723209936>Instead you talk to your evidence and the evidence talks back to you.Yep.And it tells me you're a queer. And I told it to stop calling you weird and it explained that it meant you're a faggot.
>>723209936>Instead you talk to your evidence and the evidence talks back to you.this sounds extremely gay and generic
>>723210046No fuck you. You can't tell me what to do. If I want to play a game to romance a girl character that looks like a guy with big boobs then let me waste my money.
>>723210259For better or worse they basically do the same generic Malk shit as VTMB1. The game seems way too concerned with pandering to fans of the first Bloodlines instead of VTM fans.
>>723210271it was a suggestion anondo what you want but you have better options than supporting this trash just to get your nutat least pirate it
>>723210075Complaining about the combat like the first game's combat wasn't hot, steaming dogshit that was tertiary to everything that made the first game great, outs you as a disingenuous anon & invalidates your opinion. No one played the first game for its combat, which for all its faults this game seems to be much more involved if nothing else
>>723210176It's a day 1 GOG launch.
>>723210293very believable
>>723210368Fabien literally pulls the "You made a powerful enemy today, sign!" shit.
>>723210293Is that why they took most of the shit out that was in the game and made it inferior in every way?
>>723210394wowee thats so heckin based! i just preordered!
>>723210312Fine I'll pirate it. Will wait until reviews are out.
>>723209596>>723209662>literally no info that couldn't be gleaned from previous vidsgosh this sure is going out on a limb here
>>723210427Inferior in what way?
>>723210564Shit dialogue, voiced character, retarded named character, no Malk (no gaybian isn’t a Malk option, that’s just retarded roleplay killing shit), no nosferatu, V5, no inventory, retarded hokey magic and floating gun shit, shit characters.
i think Malkavians are garbage and i hate that we're spending half the game on one.
>>723209792This post doesn't make sense because Avowed's open world is static. Nothing reacts to you. Bloodlines 2 has an open world that is similar to Bloodlines 1, sure, but when you punch someone, they attack you, the police get involved, there's reactivity. It's not just people standing in place waiting for you to walk up.
gangrel?
>>723188471>you will love your tranny waifus and you will be happyevery western game
>>723210698malkavian was my favorite clan in vtmb but i still wouldn't want to be forced to play one every time. i can't imagine this game is going to have much replayability.

>>723210864>all subjectiveNo, you just know you can’t argue how it’s not shit so you have to say this to cope. Voiced protags in RPGs are cancer since they take away the amount of dialogue options available. And no Phyre is not a good name, it’s something some special snowflake on tumblr would think is clever. >and nothing of value was lostTerrible cope, Nos are one of the best clans and provide a unique experience due to being effectively unable to walk in public. >yes there is you dumb faggotThere isn’t, stop lying and acting retarded every time your trash gets called out.>wow just like the first gameNope, you could actually use guns and lock pick. Not some retarded whacky horseshit. >all subjectiveThe gun shit is literally shown in the trailer you fucking cum stain. But thanks for proving that you will cry that it’s subjective when you can’t argue something.
>>723210864>all subjectiveno lol
>>723210914wait wouldnt it actually mean they pay them very well if they persist in the face of your overwhelming and persuasively presented evidence
>>723209596He is a reviewer and has been proven truthful about truthful when previous games came out
>>723210914It’s more that they NEED this game to succeed. Like if it doesn’t they’re fucked. So much time has been wasted on this.
>>723211114Yea, so he's probably telling the truth -- he's just a complete moron.
Why do these fucking retarded devs and shills keep trying to push MUH FABIEN like he's going to be some kind of memetic heckin based character beloved by everyone? RPG fans don't fucking want some Poochie piece of shit to constantly steal the limelight from them, they don't want to constantly jump perspectives back and forth with some retarded motherfucker to the detriment of their own character's screentime, they don't want the fact that Poochie has exclusive access to a popular clan they USED TO BE ABLE TO PLAY in the previous game of the series! Unbelievably fucking stupid!
>>723211167What makes you say that; because he was negative?
>>723211175Worked for Keanu in Cyberpunk.
>>723211242Because he's clearly wrong about basic details.
>>723211245It unironically didn't
>>723211175>RPG fans don't fucking want some Poochie piece of shit to constantly steal the limelight from them, they don't want to constantly jump perspectives back and forth with some retarded motherfucker to the detriment of their own character's screentime, they don't want the fact that Poochie has exclusive access to a popular clan they USED TO BE ABLE TO PLAY in the previous game of the series!but they do? they like Johnny SIlverhand, the heckin wholesome rebel that the entire narrative of CP 2077 is centered around and the only Rockerboy in a game with no classes.
>>723211341For you maybe but normies loved him.
>>723211315care to elaborate
>>723211245That’s because that was at his peak of the wholesome chungus shit and normalfags eat that shit up. Gaybian doesn’t have any of that. Most normalfags don’t even know what WoD is let alone VtMB.
>>723211101>every character that has been named & voiced in vidya has been shit slit your wrists
>>723211410I already did. We've seen the first two hours of the game where there are frequent references to your clan and dialogue options, and where the backstory you chose is referred to by other people. If you claimed you were a pirate when talking to Fabien, then Lou brings that up. Same with any of the other backstories. He claims that he never saw the backstories acknowledged. He's clearly wrong, and doesn't know what he's talking about. Being a dumbass doesn't make him a liar, though.
>>723188471>game has Christina HendricksI will now buy your game
>>723211342Normalfags cared because it had a celebrity and even then they still needed the fucking anime to draw more people in. Only midwits praise Johnny.
>>723211498>strawmanJust getting more and more unhinged. Do everyone a favor and drink some bleach.
>>723211549Are you being paid to shill your shitty game? Because nobody buys it. We all know the game is exactly the same regardless of your clan. They couldn't even bother with an extra personal clan quest.Clans don't matter. Your pathetic "but in the trailer Lou has a comment for each clan..." Is embarrassing.
>>723203185some brujah are skinheads/nazis though, the only really consistently defining factor for brujah is that they have hot heads
>>723211789Did you not see the last thread that’s linked in the OP?
>>723210089He's not a Gary stu just because you don't like him. You sound like a tranny seething the game will force you to play as male lmao
>>723208414You lonely incels are so weird.> I only play videogames to flirt with fictional characters
>>723188471I'm not buying it or playing it It's slop
>>723211789Clan choice shifts how various characters are predisposed towards you, which makes balancing the character dynamics trickier.
>>723211856He's a Gary Stu because he's forced in like Poochie yoh stupid fuck. No matter how hard you shill he's not going to be some beloved character. And trying for that NO U TRANNY angle when the game you're shilling is full of woke garbage is laughable.
>>723211498in rpgs? usually.
>>723212032> Muh character dynamics They have no depth you stupid bitch who are you fooling?> But muh trailer showed some chink liking me more if I'm ventrueeeeee Fuck off
What's the coolest thing about vampires in this shit, redpill me. Also how do you kill a vampire in this setting, I'm guessing right angles and garlic don't work. Sunlight?
>>723212173>Also how do you kill a vampire in this settingOrbital sun lasers or if you're a true Christian then Holy Spirit-empowered Kamehamehas. No joke.
>>723212173>how do you kill a vampire in this settinga stone suffices
>>723212113They have a lot of depth, actually.
>>723209483>vampires engaging in super powered combat in the middle of the night (with guns)Genuine instant masquerade breach tier retardation
>>723212173>Garlic? Worthless. A cross? Pfft. Shove it right up their ass. A stake? Only if it catches you in the heart, and then it just paralyzes you. Running water? No problem. I bathe... Occasionally.>Now a shotgun blast to the head: That's trouble, boy. Fire? That's real trouble. Sunlight? Well, you catch a sunrise and it's all over kiddo, get it?>I don't use guns much. They're noisy, they're clumsy, practically useless against vampires.>Well, some are more lethal than others, of course. Watch out for those shotguns. Those things smart, I tell ya.
>>723212173>What's the coolest thing about vampires in this shit, redpill meProbably the shit involving Caine, Vamps are on the low end of powerful when it comes to supernatural creatures. Don’t get it wrong the strong ones can do damage and Caine himself can’t be killed. But if you put your average Kindred up against your average Garou (werewolf) the woof is going to win most of the time. >Also how do you kill a vampire in this setting, I'm guessing right angles and garlic don't work. Sunlight?Guns, fire, sunlight. Holy symbols only work if you have True Faith.
>>723200916Honestly crazy that they did that.Wait, is that why they left it out? Because not having Malkavian in the game is the most Malkavian thing you can do?
>>723212519>>723212503So is it just shotguns that are effective? Or anything high enough caliber to disappear the head or large chunks of the body?
>>723201645True, there’s Damsel and that one bartender too. Oh, and Heather.
>>723212605High caliber, and the head is the most effective place to get them. But if you really want to do damage use fire. They have an instinctive fear of it and it fucks them up.
>>723210259>>723210293>play a cop so evidence talks to youThat's not really as compelling as>minding your own business>your schizophrenia manifests a personality for the stop sign>it tells you some crazy shitIt's a safer version of that the first game had, and a lot more low effort
>>723212605In VtMB at least shotguns are more common early on and do a lot of damage, but automatic weapons, high caliber handguns, sniper rifles, they're more dangerous too. Basically just regular pistols aren't much of a threat to even a weak vampire like it would be to a human. Vampires also take reduced damage from blunt melee weapons.
>>723212825>>723212728neat
>>723210734Static open world more in the sense that things in open world don't have more going on than reacting to player violence, there's no unique encounters, real sidequests, actual missable content
>>723212173heres your redpilluse the term bloodpill next timeit sounds cooler and more in context
>>723188471would have picked malk...
>>723212947I was actually thinking about that lmao
>>723188471Clan Notbuying. Gonna role play Another Game class for my first character. Did that with the first game and it was great.
>>723211245>>723211175Keanu works because1. he doesn't steal your moments or contribute in ways your character should be able to2. he's actually funny with how much of an irredeemable shit he is 95% of the timeJohnny doesn't steal your moment, or do random meme quips most of the time until after the moment has passed or having a genuine reaction to something. It doesn't work sometimes yeah but generally you can tell the devs wanted the character to actually contribute something of value to the game. Fabian though is sort of just>players wanted RPG mechanics in dialogue so here you go (only for Fabian)>players though having no feedback during exploration combat is boring so here's dude speaking in your ear>said guy is pretty safe and doesn't actually feel that different from something players themselves would saythe most annoying thing is Fabian really just being a dev mouthpiece at times instead of a character
>>723211549These responses are nothingburger statements meant to provide lore your character should already know so that players aren't confused. Making the PC an Elder is just fucking retarded because of this, or they can just embrace that it's a sequel and cut the retarded introduction lines. Too bad they can't because this is also a soft-reboot
>>723213163>Keanu works becauseshouldn't you be in an earnings meeting or something you cockgobbling yuppy?
>>723213163also a Malk protagonist without actually committing to making a Malk protagonist>>said guy is pretty safe and doesn't actually feel that different from something players themselves would sayi hoping(coping) that him being from the 1920s actually leads to interesting dialogue.
>>723212605Any sufficiently large and lethal violence in V:tM is enough. Though aggravated damage (fire, sunlight, sometimes silver) is the most effective. I think caliber rarely matters except for a BB gun or something
>>723188471>https://strawpoll.com/eJnvV579xnvWhich one's the crazy one? I want that one. Not too much will change.
>>723190149https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go80rdV24ts
>>723190601I don't like her outfit
>>723212605because vampires don't experience blood loss or hypotension or anything else related that kills people, only raw tissue damage matters.
>>723213318Johnny unironically works as a voice in your head because he's so different from player mentality and what your character can do. He's actually just a genuine piece of shit, and it's somewhat enjoyable. Like I said sometimes it doesn't actually work though>>723213331I was hoping that too but his Malk quirk is just thinking he's a noir-styled detective, he doesn't really play it up often enough for it to be interesting I think. It's neither offensive or cool, just a bit boring
>>723192013Anon if you say anything negative about Seattle you're a Proud Boy.
>>723213445I do not like her at all.Gib pervy daddy issues girls, not that mommy shit
>>723212817>>play a cop so evidence talks to youTo be clear, Fabien is probably not actually a cop.
>>723213635He thinks he is one, or a detective. Either way, I just think it's somewhat boring compared to if it's like the first game with seemingly unrelated or perhaps more topical items. Like perhaps the dartboard speaking to you instead. Thematically it's disconnected from the identity thing but it's in theme with being close to the mark/solving the case. This is just my idea though, I don't dislike Fabian but the character is a bit too safe
sara rue > christina hendricks
I guess review copies must have been sent out this week.
>>723214123jessica chastain better
>>723215002Vica Kerekes better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ectZfH2ntf4
>>723215118holy fuk
>>723215118ok you win this one
realistically what would be the role of the mc from first game in this one?
>>723215835wouldn't you have to make one of the endings canon
>>723215835boss fight i guess?the Fledgling is fucking bullshit and can easily keep up with an Elder.
>>723215859pretty sure Independent has been canon for a while, since last i checked Anarchs control LA but don't have the absolute beast that is the MC.the real problem is choosing a canon Clan.
>>723215002> jessica chastain betterI was about to say Bryce Dallas Howard, but I think she got on Ozempic.Jessica Chastain does skinny better.
>>723215835Unlikely, but Damsel will probably drop a reference.
LEAK DAMSEL PICS ALREADY YOU FUCKS.
>>723188471Lasombra is a troon clan
>>723218338They likely know that her new appearance would kill 90% of what interest can be scrounged together
>>723218517No, she's going to be incredibly hot, I just know it. The right mixture of angry, disinterested, and sardonic.
>>723189017That would require them to put in more work to make the character experience worthwhile, which isn't going to happen.
>>723218517Why, just because they race-swapped her? You guys are so weird about that. Technically Damsel was Indian in the original concept sketches so they're just fixing her back to the original vision.
>>723190890I Can't wait to see her get plowed in those SFM and blender animations.
>>723188471>no malk>no nosferatuwhy?
>>723212173The way that they can cast a spell to troon out when they need to
>>723218801Day 1 DLC.
>The Bet of Nightthis shit is dead on arrival.
>No GangrelBrujah it is
>>723190601No they didn't you need glasses, anon.
>>723218909thought all the day 1 DLC stuff was removed now
>>723191720>>723192052This is some of the lowest quality shilling I've ever seen lmfao
>>723218763>Why, just because they race-swapped her?Yes, even if the made her look like Beyonce troon
>>723190149whats wrong with the right? you aren't taking hormones and chopping your cock off, so that's a win
>>723204145>>723204408>>723205176>>723205689All of you faggots go watch "What We Do in the Shadows" (2014) and shut up. The movie, not the series.
Come home, white man
>>723219063She's a vampire, so yea, dead on arrival.
>>723221284Great concept, shitty implementation.DONTNOD in a nutshell.>>723211789I think the trouble here is expectations depending on the player profile. The codex being what it is, I imagine that tester wants clan to offer direct impact on systems, even if only adding a single option that solves a quest differently, while NPCs otherwise mentionning your clan and having different things to say depending on it will be filled as meaningless fluff/noise.Conversely, players with a profile that focuses more on story will very much be satisfied by those same content variations.
