Hardsuit Labs Atrium:https://youtu.be/_oYJAnhvgNk?si=p1DOVH5sQ79i4nNv&t=66The Chinese Room Atrium:https://youtu.be/mgjpbeY294I?si=uJAR6AG7Lba2yKRm&t=6349Game looks absolutely peak. It is a shame how they keep murdering all the hot women, though.
Ahh... Safia is directly connected to Lou's sister. I wonder if that's significant.
why does each individual area have a completely different single colour filter? one area is purple, another area is orange, etc.that's so strange
>>723358153Nobody cares about this game, Stephen.
She's in btw.
Okay, so that's weird. Lou's sister ends up decapitated not long after she brings Safia into the court. I will say that the game despite being about 20 hours long really doesn't draw out the reveals.
>>723358773Nerfed tits
>we want the cyberpunk audience
>>723358630>why does each individual area have a completely different single colour filter? one area is purple, another area is orange, etc.>that's so strangenot really, it's relatively common for games to be switching the color filter for different atmosphere
>>723358630Because it creates a vibrant, striking art style. Same reason each area has a different musical style.
>>723358950>>723358982it is incredibly lazy to just use a different colour to signify something different, instead of using different aesthetic styles to signify itmass effect 3 ending
>>723358937>Cybernetic vampiresHas it been done?
>>723358808>another lore inconsistencyIt's pretty clear at this point that HSL just wanted to make a game about vampires, and saw an opportunity. They seem to know nothing about Vampire.
>>723359158Unless you count Bloodnet, not really seen it in vidya.TTRPGs yeah
Ysabella dies a lot earlier than I'd expected. I must confess being a bit disappointed that you have no choice in killing her or not. I had hoped you could drag her back to the court and let them deal with her. Still, to be fair, you never had a choice in the original's boss battles.
>>723359264What lore inconsistency?
>>723358808Shouldn't her body have disintegrated?
>>723358491That's because "Safia" is actually a secret antagonist, likely a Tzimice, that killed and replaced the actual Safia.
>>723358153>Game looks absolutely peak>shame how they keep murdering all the hot women, though
>>723359410That's not entirely true. The gargoyle could be handled in a few ways.
>>723359462Fabien's memories can't be trusted. Any oddities in his "flashbacks" should be viewed as super sus.
>>723359069MGS3 does it so no its kino
>>723359713So the Safia connection can't be trusted either.
Okay, I laughed.
>>723360059>The architect bait is actually vamp-anorexicSoo deep and poignant
I do notice the game has some slightly awkward transitions. Like it cuts from deciding Benny's fate to being back at the tower. I get why this was done, but it does give the impression of the plot undergoing structural changes and being a little bit glued together.
>>723360238Ventrue can only feed on high class blood, so not rats and whores, but some Ventrue have a much worse case of this than others.
>>723359840True, but I think you're meant to weigh his flashbacks against the current day and try to make sense of why he might be distorting the past.
>>723358153The person playing in that clip is one of the dumbest players I've ever seen. HOLY SHIT, EXAMINE THE POOL TABLE WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? STOP LEAVING THE BAR.
>>723358153>Rhomboid UII FUCKING HATE MODERN GAME DESIGN AHHHHHHHHHHGH>>723358773why did they give her a man jaw
>>723359752MGS3 kinda has the same piss filter throughout the entire game though, in that case it's aesthetics rather than >please clap color>le sensual color>we fight color>boss fight color>flashback color
>>723358773>>723361464That's her Hardsuit Labs model. We don't have any leaks of the Chinese Room version yet.
>>723361464>why did they give her a man jawGlad that wasn't just my first thought. She had a bit of it in the original but that much?Also both nose and tits seem too big dont know what >>723358868 is on about
>>723362172>a man jaw in bloodlines 1Ehhh... I think she's actually rather normal female faced in that one. Pretty angular. A lot of the dudes have the chin bone box jaw thing going on. Her tits seem fine too in this one compared to masquerade so maybe it was just a very rough model
Oh, no. Safia is even cuter in the 20s.
>>723360238I'm not interested in going to bat for BL2, but then I go on /v/ and see people who either: A) haven't played the first game and just want to shit on the sequel for nebulous, probably politically-motivated reasons; or B) hate BL2 so much that they twist every little detail into some reason to hate it, even in circumstances like this one where it's just playing with established Ventrue fluff. Like, shit, man, did you really forget Ventrue's clan bane?
>>723362787She should have kept the look
>>723358773I'm hoping they reworked the model because to me it looks like somebody cosplaying as damsel
>>723362860Seems to go a bit beyond that in her case
>>723362787Now it bothers me why she uses glasses today but not then.
>>723363375>Now it bothers me why she uses glasses today but not then.I would be on the lookout for other... inconsistencies between Safia in the 20s and Safia in the modern day.
>>723358153Other than the concentrated soullessness modern UI it almost looks like the same kind of janky crap as the real VTMB. Shame it can basically be taken as a given that it'll run like absolute fucking dogshit despite barely looking better than human revolution
So the vampire killer that is running around killing people who are not vampires, but connected to vampires, is "scentless". What could that mean?
>>723364262I've been watching PS5 footage, and performance seems generally good but there's noticeable lurching when opening doors and when an objective pops up like an in-progress masquerade breach.
>>723364475Why do some people post screenshots of the old dialogue system? Have they not been paying attention at all?
So what's wrong with Lou?
>>723364475Voiced protag so they had to slice the dialogue options in half.
>>723365054>>723364475You guys do understand that none of those dialogue options worked, right?
>>723365054VTMB1 had no voiced protag and it had fewer dialogue options than VTMB2.
Well I know what clan I'm starting with when I play this game
>VTMB1>given an ID card as a lead to track down an asian vampire>actually inspect the ID card in your inventory>look up the name on the card in a crime database by manually typing it in>discover the guy is dead>use speech or larceny to get access to the morgue and follow up on the clues>VTMB2>given an ID card as a lead to track down an asian vampire>can't look at the card at all, have no inventory>instead Fabien Silverhand tells you his name and that you can probably look up more information on the Krimeputer>objective updated: check the Krimeputer>Smell-O-Vision shows a bright red trail to the Krimeputer>press X on the computer, not even a cutscene of Phyre typing>Fabien the Faggot starts blabbing again, "Huh I guess he's dead. Well, he's not the only one. Except it says this corpse we can find... in the morgue.">objective updated: go to the morgue>Smell-O-Vision shows a bright red trail to the morgue>press X on a cabinet>Flaming Fabien starts barking into your ear again
It's anime as fuck.https://youtu.be/mgjpbeY294I?si=ZZYHj64YLshMmnk3&t=8859
well lmk if this is good or nah.
>>723365852>Dead Eye hitmarkers
>>723365478Wrong. More like.>given an ID card as a lead to track down an asian vampire>Fabien starts talking to the card, and it starts flirting with him.
>>723365925It's probably going to be Okay, possibly better than earthblood, worse than 1 Unfortunately, I expect it to do well enough that paradox won't learn their lesson. Might be hard for this game to turn a profit though considering the 15 year dev cycle
>>723365852christ that looks bad
>>723366038Every piece of evidence has a different voice, and it's clearly Fabien ripping off movies he's seen.
>>723366326It looks absolutely awesome, though. There are a bunch of "holy shit, this is incredible" sequences in the game, but the Atrium fight is one of the best. The lighting, the music, the fact you can choose to not play along and do the entire fight without your powers like an absolute boss.
>>723366394i'll be nice and assume there's a way where you can make this segment look cool or fun but this footage does neither
Every VTMB2 thread is just this on repeat.
>>723359462Kindred don't do that in Bloodlines 2.
>>723366473Name a single uncool thing about it.>Awesome combat mechanics.>Awesome music.>Fighting a black vampire with a katana. (I do notice her moves are later reused by those hooded female cultists, though.)Maybe explain why you think this isn't really, really cool.
>>723366521shills are saturating these threads lately
>>723366604Do we have recent v5 materials that confirm or deny what happens to dead kindred? Because it sorta seems like White Wolf never really had a clear policy about this.
>>723366674Why do you think they're coping so hard about such a self-evidently cool game?
>>723366648is this your first video game?
>>723366707That depends. Do you consider the V5 core rulebook to be recent? It's now 7 years old, but definitively states that vampires become a corpse of their same age when they suffer Final Death.
>>723366947Have you never played a first person game before?
>>723366991you didn't answer the question
>>723366648well the boss seemed to do no damage but he did half her HP with one use of his fist of the north star attack. and then the boss had no other mechanics. and you're saying her attacks are re-used too?
Awkward combat, stealth, and traversal in a game whose only mechanics are combat, stealth, and traversal.
>>723363146>Seems to go a bit beyond that in her caseIt seems pretty in-line with other Ventrue. In order for them to drink the blood of someone outside their preferred target type, Ventrue have to exert a great amount of willpower or will literally vomit it back up. This makes a lot of Ventrue naturally picky, so Lou isn't really unusual.
>>723367092>well the boss seemed to do no damage but he did half her HP with one use of his fist of the north star attack.That's the entire reason she locked your powers. If you want the fight to be difficult, you don't choose the dialogue options that makes her unrestrict them.>and you're saying her attacks are re-used too?More that there are female cultists later in the game that do similar things, including teleporting around.
>>723366976I noticed Ysabella didn't do this, either. Does HSL not know the Vampire lore?
>>723367428Seems not. There's a lot of inconsistencies if you watch the footage that's been released.And no, Bloodlines 1 also having a lot of such inconsistencies doesn't excuse that fact.
>>723367428You mean the Chinese Room? That's the developer. HSL is dead.
>>723365478>Fabien Silverhandlol
>>723367415is there footage of it with your powers restricted somewhere?
>>723367092I skimmed the stream, and he's playing on Easy mode.
>>723367746Literally a few minutes back. She unrestricts your powers if you tell her that you will play the part she has prepared for you. There's an achievement for beating her without powers.
>>723366345So the took the one-off gag with the stop sign from the first game, and stretched it out until it isn't funny anymore? Lame! I'll be staying away from this game, and telling all my friends to do the same.
>>723359410So why did they choose her as a DLC character? Already awful idea made even worse.
>>723367850ok but that's not what i asked. i asked if there's footage of the fight somewhere with your powers restricted.>>723367791that would explain a lot, still think some actual phases would have spiced it up. when i saw the health pips i assumed she'd get more intense but she doesn't.
>>723367791actually i just looked through it and i don't see anywhere that he's playing on easy, where did you see that?
>>723368321Go back to Part 1.
Why didn't VTMB1 have any Lasombras? Will this be fixed in 2?
>>723368638Yes, 2 will have Lasombra so that the game can better cater to VtM's new target demographic of troons
>>723368470I could have sworn there was a difficulty selection menu somewhere that pops up during the prologue, not just in the options menu. Can't find it, though. I'm probably just a dumbass though.
>>723368778>Lasombra are troonsWhy do you say that? If anything it'd be Malkavians and Toreaderes that are trannies.
Lawd, those are some tight pants.
>if I get a shot at that sheriff they are deadWhat the everliving fuck?If devs are that afraid of misgendering the snowflakes, add their precious pronoun salad. But making some nervous thug talk that soi shit is just jarring. Better to not let them talk about the MC at all instead
>>723368858Tremere are the trans clan because they're hecking legit but some bigot vampires like Lou say they're not real vampires and have to use the other bathroom.
>>723368858Because troons play them more than any other clan. Toreador are probably #2, in fairness. And the whole IP is targeted at troons and fags now anyway, of course.
>>723368935kek
>>723368886I feel the urge to cup that crotch.
>>723368978Lasombras are my favorite clan from the VTMB games I played recently because of their disciplines (Potence, Oblivion and a bit of Dominate if you feel like it) and their non-weakness which is that they make technology glitch out. That's a good weakness cause technology is gay and unvampirelike anyway.
>>723368638They didn't let you pick Sabbat clans (Lasombra, Tzimisce, others) because the Camarilla would NOT spare you if that were the case, let alone the premise of your sire being subject to a blood hunt would be silly for a sabbat clan
>>723369078>the VTMB games I played recentlyUh-huh.
>>723369078wow what an organic post this is
>>723369360They're likely referring to Vampire: The Masquerade - Shadows of New York, and calling it VTMB for shorthand.
Part 1https://youtu.be/ZlsT4Gi3jH0?si=ob1Kw5SuSMzsbt-aPart 2https://youtu.be/mgjpbeY294I?si=Uy7-dulc9qLuLdd1I think it looks really good. Do wonder about pacing when replaying, though.
The models in this game look so good, I don't blame them for reusing them over and over and over.
the lack of clan banes is EXTREMELY fucking gay. they're a huge part of the clan's identity, more than disciplines for the most part.
The cool thing about Fabien is that they have an excuse to jam in a bunch of extra conversations with characters like Ysabella who die in the modern day. The impression I get from older press releases was that they felt VTMB2's story was undercooked and its characters and arcs weren't fleshed out enough. So they've basically gone and done flashback reshoots to give each character more depth.
>>723369739I do like the leather skirts. I'm annoyed I can't wear a leather skirt because someone at The Chinese Room was fixated on only allowing unisex costumes.
Rope awaits.
>>723370446The unisex options are pretty lame. I'm surprised they advertised female phyre so much in the early builds, because most of outfits seem suited for males. Even the toreador outfits with the exposed boobs look weird because of the shoulders.
>>723359158there's an official set of vtm & cyberpunk crossover rules
In fairness, the costumes are the one case where #modswillfixit is actually the case.
>>723358773Can I beat the shit out of her and then dominate+blood-bond her
>>723371638>mods will reskin the character's face and body and clothesYES
>>723365852looks dope
>>723368978>nowI never played a TTRPG in my life but I was the impression that these people were always overrepresented
>>723371708uh..yes?
haha ya..im gonna play it.
>>723372031NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS WOKE SLOP BLOP FLOP DROP
Damn. Lots of inexperienced shills out tonight. Please let this go to page 10 already, no one cares.

>>723372382You stand out like a sore thumb faggot. Get a real job.
I preordered. I'm so gonna have a blast. I have a feeling it's going to be a return to form it's probably gonna suck but I feel like it'd be fun to complain about it
>>723368105Because she's very important to the story. Both she and Benny know something, and are some kind of sacrificial pawns by the evil puppetmaster.
The game structure reminds me a lot of RoboCop: Rogue City.
>>723372382this "everyone is the shill!" guy getting more and more mind-broken by the day

>>723369732>full game>5 hours
>game shown for the first time>everyone agrees it looks like shit>skip foreward to near release>daily threads and always screenshots praising the game>looks exactly the same as the first revealReal fucking organic. I have been convinced to pyrchese this product.
>>723373260Better in what sense?
>everyone agreeshow to get noticed as a foreign invader
>>723373538That's because it always looked pretty good. Some people were just bizarrely in denial. Exact same thing as the Silent Hill 2 remake. Remember how angry people were at that?
>>723373620No anon, I wasnt there. I didn't see it get universaly get shat on.
>>723373654>looks goodIt look like veilguard you dishonest faggot.
>>723359713yo I would fuck the shit out of her
>>723362860I have nothing against the game aside from no playable nosferatu or playable kiasyd. No one gives a fuck for lasombra or the banu, and even then at least the former two I mentioned would fit in a lot better. AT LEAST WITH KIASYD IT'D BE MORE INTERESTING
>>723359713That is very unappealing.
WHERE ARE THE TITS?! THE TITTIES?! THE BAZONGAS! THE BOOBS?! THE BREASTS?! THE TITFLESH?! THE SWEATER PUPPIES!? THE SWEATERMEAT?! I look around, I scour the horizon, and I see nothing but barren plains of disappointment! Not a single jiggle, not a single bounce, not even the faintest shadow of a cleavage line! Where are the divine orbs of comfort, the pendulous heralds of joy, the twin suns around which the universe of my expectations should revolve?!Everywhere I go, I’m promised voluptuous bounty — thumbnails, titles, trailers — all whispering sweet nothings like “fan-service” and “tastefully mature themes.” Lies! Deceptions! A conspiracy against the human soul! I click, I scroll, I wait for the payoff — and what do I get? Plot. Character development. Emotional nuance. Curse these high-minded pretenses! I didn’t come here for “meaning.” I came for mammaries! For the age-old, time-honored, anatomically generous tradition of tiddies presented without apology!Bring me the milk-mountains! The gravity-defying miracles! The physics-breaking, spine-shattering monuments to artistry and poor posture alike! Do not hide them behind robes, behind armor, behind “creative integrity.” Show me what the people demand! Let the world know that subtlety is overrated and restraint is for cowards!WHERE. ARE. THE. TITS?!I will not rest. I will not scroll in silence. Until the day the light returns to this forsaken land of censor bars and tasteful framing, I will cry out into the digital void: show me the bazongas!

Man, finally some interesting posts now

Every time it switches to Fabien, it sorta feels like this is the game they wish they were making instead. I cannot imagine what the story pacing was like before they added these sequences.
>>723374159It’s not, and it’s going to flop the same and you’re going to have a massive mental breakdown when it does just like the trannyguard shills.

WHERE ARE THEY?! WHERE ARE THE GIANT BREASTS?! THE TITANIC, WORLD-ENDING, COLLISION-COURSE PLANETOIDS OF GLORY THAT ONCE DEFINED OUR DIGITAL CULTURE?! I boot up game after game — hundreds of gigabytes, teraflops of raw computational power — and for what? Flat disappointment! A wasteland of “tasteful design choices” and “respectful portrayals.” I didn’t spend $2,000 on a GPU to admire restraint. I want chaos. I want curvature. I want to feel the gravitational pull of polygons rendered with such mass that my framerate drops out of sheer reverence!We once lived in an age of greatness — the era of jiggle physics, the blessed time when developers said, “Yes, we could simulate cloth movement… but what if… breasts?” That was innovation. That was artistry. And now? Every studio hides behind “representation.” Bro, I’m represented just fine. Represent the bazongas!They nerfed the boobies. They patched out the passion. Every female character looks like she was carved out of pragmatic oatmeal. Do you understand what we lost? A generation of heroes guided by bounce, uplifted by elasticity, inspired by sheer digital volume! Now the new protagonists look like they’ve been designed by a committee of HR interns sipping chamomile tea.Where’s the danger? Where’s the spectacle? I want to boot up a game and have the camera physically recoil from the sheer kinetic energy of those things! I want shaders struggling to calculate the path of glory! I want to hear the fans spin up when she turns around!This isn’t progress. This is tragedy. This is cultural sterilization by patch notes. We were gods once, architects of the jiggle, pioneers of bounce! And now… shadows. Hollow polygons. Soulless restraint.Bring them back. Bring back the bazongas. Let the people remember what we once were.
>>723374416I'm expecting it to flop like Bloodlines, not like Dragon Age.
We know PS5 copies are in the wild. Take some screenshots of Damsel and her delicious milkers pressed up against the straining fabric of that stylishly rebellious t-shirt.
>>723374579It will flop like trannyguard since it will be forgotten outside of people making fun of it. Unlike Bloodlines.
>>723374717You keep saying stuff like that, but where is the material people are going to make fun of?

>>723374976People here play games, not baby shit that plays itself. Go back to r/vtmb
>>723375058It was made for three different audiences. They talked about it in the dev diaries. They knew that Bloodlines fans were bad at combat, so they added easy mode (which the guy is playing on) so they can breeze through it. But they also knew some people would love a meaty, timing-driven combat system so there's Hard. But there's also Normal for middle of the road difficulty. Journalists respond better to difficult games, so Hard is for them.

That's because journalists have a tendency to strongly associate high difficulty with clarity of vision. Elden Ring is a bad game. A total mess. But it got amazing reviews.
now the attention whoring is at desperation level
>>723376465It's because gamers have always had this cope about people who play games for a living supposedly being bad at playing them.
>>723376403>That's because journalists have a tendency to strongly associate high difficulty with clarity of vision. nah they just too ashamed to admit they couldn't beat it so they just opt out for "great game"
>>723376569There's also some truth to that. The huge difficulty spikes in Bloodlines 1 explain why so many people give the second half a pass on being terrible. They simply gave up and pretended to play the second half.

>>723377409>doesn’t deny it>just cries schizo and posts reddit memeAre you congenitally malformed? I can’t think a normal healthy person could be this retarded. There has to be something seriously wrong with you to do shit like this.
I already bought it.
>>723377674>paradox shill still has to buy copy of game he’s shilling lol, of course they made you do that.
>>723365852This seems pretty sick as long as it's actually harder than that, I assume it's on giga ultra easy game journo modethe movement is weird but might be interesting if you actually have to counter enemy movements
>>723365447Toreador for sure, lacking Malcavian (aside Fabien in our head), seems to be most fun to play with unique situations and dialogues.
>>723377745Yeah I bet you’ll have a blast, right faggot?
>>723377795what did he mean by this?
>>723377747>MalcavianThis is who they’re paying to shill this fucking trash>seems to be most fun to play with unique situationsIf you eat paste and suck dick for a living.

>>723377739>paradox shilltake meds, schizo.
>these threads still have the same extremely butthurt guy bumping them nonstop for hours on endkekHe's gonna shart himself when the game comes out and there's more than one thread on the catalog to bump at a time, wtf is he gonna do bros
>>723377672You are fuming because of the numbers.
>>723377916>>723377962>n-no stop replyingYou always try to say this and it never works since these threads stay up no matter what. Your last thread went past 8 hours. >nooo don’t point out how I’m samefaggingThe numbers have a meaning. But you have to say the opposite because it shows what a pathetic faggot you are.
>he thinks the game is going to be praised and not mocked endlessly when it releases, if anyone gives a shit about it at all

>>723377895Kill yourself, shill.
>No Elif>No Mr DampThe new ocs TCR added look so boring in comparison, you can tell which npcs are leftovers from the old version of the game
I boughted the game
>>723378128Malkavians aren’t real you unhinged faggot. Are you so mindbroken that you have lost touch with reality? Maybe stop watching those shitty dev diaries with the Polish tranny on loop.
>>723378196post receipt with date and timestamp so i can laugh at you even more
>>723378084You are literally (literally) a paranoid schizophrenic. And clearly this is not your first schizo fit, too. >>722128875
so hear my theory anonsParadox is actually playing 5d chess here.They hired one mentally ill guy to shit on this game here 24/7, generating free publicity and showing everyone how miserable haters are?Kinda working not gonna lie
>>723378394>browser extension What the actual fuck is wrong with you? How retarded do you have to be to not only get caught samefagging but show proof that you’re doing it?
>>723378448The more you cry about me the more I know that what I’m doing is working and that you’re genuinely being bothered by me pointing out that you’re some faggot shill.

>>723378596>strawmanYou shouldn't dox yourself like that
>That's not an extension, you tech-illiterate schizophrenic retardIt is given how mad me saying it was made you, and the fact you have no counter aside from flipping the fuck out.
>>723377747I don't get this shill's strategy. Why does he talk like a fucking dork pretending to be a normal gamer? All his posts read the same. This >>723358491 and this >>723365447 or even this >>723377747 it reeks of faux enthusiasm that seems rather phony.
>>723378776Its all he can do whenever he fucks up. And the he goes quiet waiting for everyone to leave before starting the same bullshit all over again. Same shit for the last month.
Shill or no shill, a week after the release it will all be evident.
>>723378978>reduced to posting screenshots with no texthaha oh wow
>>723378978>yes>sarcastic (yes)>no (yes)>tell me more (yes)Six fucking years and two developers.
Why does she scorch me with her lustful gaze?
I don't think this game will be very successfull, but I really hope it is just so I can see another BG3-level mindbreak. The amount of schizoposters is already so high and the game's not even out yet, It'd be one glorious meltdown.
>>723379120>>723379097Fabien's inability to remember names could be relevant to the plot.
>>723379129Why haven't you blown your head off with a shotgun, you pathetic waste of oxygen?
>>723374847The first game was worse
>>723379186Writing seems too shit for any real success, but if you can make the Malk shut up it might be some comfy nightstalking
>>723379120Are you illiterate?
>>723379187and nobody cares except you
>>723379212Too busy admiring the absolutely BADASS shotguns in Bloodlines 2.
Need a mod to replace female Phyre with Aeris
>>723379324If you don't care then how come you keep posting in this thread?
>>723379187>i-its okay the shit design is a plot point
>>723379120its about the name you illiterate faggot lol
>>723379302No, just pointing out shitty design. stop samefagging, you pathetic tard
>>723379340this cant be real>>723379370>mock dialogue>this means you're invested in it the same way as the person attempting to make it look attractiveman you are dumb as fuck, you really thought that was a gotcha moment too LOL
>>723379468What shitty design?>samefaggingEvery accusation is an admission.>>723379475What are you babbling about? If you don't care about the game, why are you posting here?
>>723379370He is always in the right place (in every VTMB2 thread) at the right time, it's really hilarious
>>723379410Not sure what you mean. Fabien's sequences are all muddled up. He remembers things wrong. I guess it's a bit Lost Highway-ish. I imagine there is so much odd foreshadowing that will make sense once we finish the game. Even his mistakes mean something.
>>723379596>>723379426>its about the name you illiterateYou already replied saying this whoreson.>What shitty design?The retarded dialogue wheel, looks like you're still the kidn retard that has to forget his posts when he gets btfo.>Every accusation is an admissionSays the retard that posted a pic showing he is using a browser extension.
>>723379596>noooo you can't just post in this thread and make fun of the game i'm attempting to promote...because...because you just can't, okay?!>p-please leave..lol
>>723379475I know, it's too good to be true.
>>723379701>Not sure what you meanSo youre the illiterate one. Every accusation you make seems to be a concession, ironically.
>>723379743>The retarded dialogue wheel, looks like you're still the kidn retard that has to forget his posts when he gets btfo.What a strange complaint. Just play on PC if you don't want the wheel.
>>723379370Not caring about the game is not the same as caring about some faggot shill, shitting up the catalog.
>>723379743I replied once, actually.>The retarded dialogue wheelWhat's "retarded" about the dialogue wheel? Aren't you the retarded one here, given you haven't caught up on the fact that every dialogue option has a different name? You just saw the dialogue wheel and defaulted to your kneejerk contrarian reaction >>723379120>Says the retard that posted a pic showing he is using a browser extension.There are more than two people in this thread.>>723379762Who are you quoting?

>>723378776Same.VtMB is my favorite game of all time, btw.I replay it every year, including finishing it this week.The fact I don't care about the sequel lets you know exactly how badly they've dropped the ball.

>>723380123>shitty dialogue system in a game that has lots of dialogue is nothingSo you have no counter and are coping.
>>723380179Give me a single example in Bloodlines 2 where the dialogue system doesn't represent what the character is actually saying.
Thoughts from someone who had already played the game
>>723380179Nope, I replied once asking if you were illiterate. (turns out you are)>Simplified bullshit that doesn't represent what the character is actually saying.And?
>>723380174>doesn't know how image hashes work.wew lad
>>723380141damn are you me?? ive literally been doing the same thingits not my fav of all time but its definitely got a spot among them somewhereanyway have fun on monday brother
>>723380286Of course I do, that's why it's also filtered by filename ;)
>>723380241The only problem is that he's a complete retard because the game constantly references you clan, and there are heaps of clan-specific dialogue choices, far moreso than VTMB1 had.
>>723380241>>723380296>>723380345Every single post seems to be "I wanted a CRPG and they made the exact opposite of a CRPG and I can't wrap my head around that". Which is what you expect from a Codex poster.

>>723380241>>723380345Is that rpgcodex? That contrarian shithole is worse than /v/ or /vrpg/. Literally "old good new bad: the forum."
I'm forever stuck with the game since I bought in during hardsuits reign, so I'm seeing this piece of shit to the end of the line.
>>723373542You got your job through nepotism.

Imagine having a worse dialogue system than a game from 20 fucking years ago.
>>723380463nigga get a refund
>>723380353You mean the file name that is just repeating what is said in the image? Yes very specific no one but me could do that. That's sarcasm btw, I know you have a hard time reading.
>>723380485Seek medical attention. I'm not engaging with you until you confirm that you've been to a doctor.
>>723380454I think that poster doesn't seem to understand the point of sidequests in Bloodlines 2 is to be given a target in a semi-open area. It's literally opportunities for sandbox combat chaos. Doing the sidequests also makes major NPCs like you more/increases their sway.This is an action RPG. Emphasis on the action. Before the rewrites with Fabien, the game was even MORE hyperfixated on combat. If you approach this game viewing the combat as something to rush through to get back to RPG stuff, you're going to be in for a very bad time. What he sees as pointless filler is a really important part of the game where you flex your powers and earn XP to learn more powers and use them together in cool ways.
>>723380621damn that sounds exciting
>>723380613Its always the same pattern with samefags like you. You get called out and get pants shittingly angry and cry how the person calling you out is crazy. Only to show that they're right by acting like a belligerent retard. >'m not engaging with you untilYou will, you'll just pretend to be someone else like you have this whole time.
>>723380685I primarily play videoGAMES for GAMEplay, so it does actually sound exciting.
>>723380734I'm not seeing that medical bill showing you've been prescribed medication, so I'm gonna once again lean on the assumption that you are in fact illiterate and can't follow simple instructions.
>>723380332Thanks, dude.Next week is going to be tight. I'm seeing Pendulum live on Thursday, so I took Thursday and Friday off from work to get a long weekend.
shills here are still working overtime?
>>723358491>>723358630>>723358773>>723358808Jesus Christ, It's so obvious that you guys are shills.
>>723380839nice! all the best, friend
>>723380621Boy, I can't wait to dive into action combat designed by a walking simulator developer. What joy...Also, I agree with everyone disagreeing with you.>t. university graduate with 1st class honors

>>723380930>Boy, I can't wait to dive into action combat designed by a walking simulator developer.Technically, by one of the leads from Crysis 2. Hence all the verticality and sliding, I'm guessing.
>>723380621Thanks mr. marketer.
>>723378978>>723379120>Dialogue system like Fallout 4Fuck off with this shit. Why not a simple bar with choices to pick from?
>>723380749you have an exceedingly low bar for excitement, then because it sounds like absolute garbageespecially when there are better videoGAMES releasing in the same window and the franchise this one is attached to was never known for exciting gameplay, but has rather been gutted of the elements that made it worth playing despite thati await your latest cope
>>723380174>it's even got the same "DA NUMBERS MASON" spergout you can see in this very threadlmao
>>723380982Because that would be more effort, I mean its not like devs have done it before with clear indication of what the player character will say
>>723380982>Why not a simple bar with choices to pick from?You mean like this? >>723379910
>>723359410>>723359556How do you even know all of this? The game isn't even out yet. Fucking shills
>>723381083>That picWhat the fuck is that thing!
>>723381086>How do you even know all of this?Someone has been uploading footage of the PS5 version. I'm guessing either this is someone getting a copy early or they accidentally broke a second media embargo that lets them show another few hours. >>723369732
>>723358153It's insane how much better this game would be if the millenials writers could lay off their soƴ-lattes.>"This character calls you out how STUPID the name "Phyre" is! Get it? It's self aware because we, the writers, wrote this name in the script!"
>>723381000>especially when there are better videoGAMES releasing in the same windowNothing I'm interested in, but even if there were then what stops me from being excited for several games at a time?>this one is attached to was never known for exciting gameplayI fail to see your point. If the first entry had shit gameplay, does that mean the 2nd one should have shit gameplay too, otherwise it's not TRVE?
>>723381053Oh hey, I remember that thread. You did the same shit there you're doing here. You even shut down when your retardation was called out
>>723369732Looks fucking amazing. Sales are irrelevant. This is a stone cold classic. The greatest vampire game ever made.
>Antediluvian>Calls itself "Phyre">Because it's the only thing it can think of based on the poster of a bandWhat the fuck were they thinking?
>>723369732>>723381360samefag
>>723381409>>AntediluvianYou have no idea what that means.
>>723381264Phyre was created by the guy who made Dear Esther in 2008, so absolutely not a Millennial.
>>723381321>I remember that threadno shit, that's your posting history and that post is from september 8th. if you hadn't remembered it you'd just admit to having alzheimers>You didI only started visiting these threads a week ago after lasombra trailer came out
>>723380406its true, he expected an RPG from a game based on an RPG license purporting to be the sequel of a beloved RPGutterly insane
>>723381464>The guy responsible for Dear EstherOh that shitty walking simulator with a pretentious plot. This game was doomed from the very beginning.
>>723381551It is a sequel. It takes VTMB1, removes the stuff everyone hated, focuses on the good stuff.
>>723381458Is this your attempt to get people to tell you shit you don't know by accusing them and hoping they will say it to prove you wrong?
>>723381534>if you hadn't remembered it you'd just admit to having alzheimersSays the faggot that forgot shit that was said in it an hour after.>I only started visiting these threads a week agoA horrible lie, espesially given you're acting the exact same way as you were then.
>>723381574Don't worry, he was replaced by the guy who wrote Amnesia: Rebirth, so you can expect there to be a big "we've done this all before and are just retracing our steps" twist.
>>723381575>good stuffnot the writingnot the character creationnot the worldnot the atmospherenot the roleplayingnot the combat
>>723381605You claimed that "Phyre" is an Antediluvian.Anyone who has a surface level knowledge about VtM knows just how retarded that is.
20 hours seems short.
I'll be real. I had no hope for this the split second Paradox got involved and my interest has gone from non-existent to annoyance and now to straight up glad this will fail because every step if the way the parakikes have shown why this can't succeed and everyone involved deserves to fail. It's the most insincere, greedy crash grab I've ever seen in my life and the shilling on top of it all is unprecedented. They really managed to find THE scummiest, most vile little rat dick sycophants to shill this shit and I'm repulsed knowing that any money this inadvertently makes goes to funding their continued and completely unwarranted ability to stay alive.
>>723381697That is a good point. Bloodlines 2 has better writing, better world design, better atmosphere, way better roleplaying compared to the "none of the dialogue options do anything" roleplaying of 1. And the combat is better. What it ejected was the bland, vestigial CRPG cruft that dragged VTMB1 down.
>>723381575>removes the stuff everyone hated, focuses on the good stuff>removes dialogue system>removed guns as inventory items>removes malkavian and nosferatu pc>removes skillsremoves good writing >removes fun and interesting characters>badSo rope or bleach? How will you off yourself?
>>723381756Eh, it's more like 25 hours. But a lot of people will finish in 20. Basically, it's like the original. It's paced like the original, has similar arcs, literally ends with you opening a box.
>>723381264>millennials writersYou mean Gen X.Millennial writers simply followed their lead and added leftist literary theory to the underlying faggotry they grew up with.
>>723381734You don't even know what an Antitribu is.
>>723358153They both look like pretty average, maybe even a little terrible. But is there not any dancing in The Chinese Room version? taking the game out of the hands of Hardsuit Labs actually made no difference at the end of the day. I don't really see a massive jump in quality. But i will remark that I believe the world map in the Hardsuit version looked better in the sense that it looked more believable. If we're judging what looks more like real life Seattle, it's the hard suit version that looks more accurate. I prefer how VTMB1 did themes for the clubs/bars. Neither of them captured that aspect well.
>>723381668how many people did you accuse of being the same person so far itt, three? it's hilarious how I've only joined these recurring threads a week ago and you're literally in every single one of them spinning the same narrative where everyone's out to get you. you have such an unhealthy obsession with a videogame you hate that it's taken a toll on you mentally
>>723381818>>removes dialogue systemVTMB1's dialogue system was shit, though. I can't believe anyone tries to defend it. People just liked the writing. The actual mechanics behind the writing and the non-existent branching were not highlights.
>>723381809I'm sure they're hiding all of it in the parts of the game they're not showing us in the marketing material then because everything we've seen manages to actually be a downgrade from a hjanky 20 year old game
>>723381809Brother, please.I've gotten paid by Paradox in the past, but it was to fix the trash localization on Russian games they publish. Don't degrade yourself with such terrible bait.
>>723381860The lighting in the Hardsuit version looks pretty atmospheric. The chikroom club looks like a purple warehouse.
>>723358773holy manjaw lmaothey really can't help themselves these days
>>723381915The writing is better from the opening monologue.
>>723381869Just you (just like now), and you didn't deny it once, just played dumb until the mods came in and saved you. Its funny how despite claiming that multiple people were arguing with me both here and there you're the only one that ever replies consistently. I mean they always seem to just vanish after you get called out.
>>723381856This term is quite literally irrelevant to the conversation and your knowledge about VtM is even worse than of the devs.
>>723381987if I was desperate to earn just a few more rupees than the average dalit sure
>>723382005I see I see. truly you're onto something, brotha. CHECK YOUR WALLS
>>723381908>VTMB1's dialogue system was shit, though>showing what the character will say and how they will say it so there is a clear understanding of both content and intent is shitThe shill is crying about the superior game from 2 decades ago again.>The actual mechanics behind the writing and the non-existent branching were not highlightsAre you so desperate that you have to say that shit from you garbage is in VtMB?
>>723381915Something I've noticed in the past few years is that despite the technological progress we've made, games aren't really much better than they were in 2004.In fact, they tend to be more shallow, offer less variety in terms of environments and NPCs, and even the most refined modern games are merely adequate when you compare the gameplay.The only things that are "better" these days are lighting, textures, and 3D models. None of which are a valid replacement for the style of older games since damn-near everything goes for a photorealism look.
>>723381673>Don't worry, he was replaced by the guy who wrote Amnesia: Rebirth, so you can expect there to be a big "we've done this all before and are just retracing our steps" twist.That's just as bad. I liked Amnesia Bunker, though.
>>723382106>doesn't deny it>just cries schizo copeImmediately proving me right yet again. Special kind of retard you are.
>>723358153Some of the animations, especially in ingame cutscene are very stiff. Still I enjoy the mystery of the story.
>>723382186no denying it, brotherman, you got me. it is I, one of your many gangstalkers. start dismantling your walls right now and you might just get rid of me until it's all too late
I get huuuuuge Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs vibes from Bloodlines 2. More precisely, it feels like someone else trying to imitate Dan Pinchbeck's purple prose. I.e.:>"Redeem yourselves! Redemption is at hand! Enter the cleansing and set your souls free! For you are born into filth and will die as pigs. Only through my redemption can you ascend to the skies and claim the heavens as your kingdom. Fall on your knees! Ashes, ashes, bones and ashes. For the pile will reach critical and we can have such a burning that this city will shine as a beacon of redemption for the world!">"I have stood knee deep in mud and bone and filled my lungs with mustard gas. I have seen two brothers fall. I have lain with holy wars and copulated with the autumnal fallout. I have dug trenches for the refugees; I have murdered dissidents where the ground never thaws and starved the masses into faith. A child's shadow burnt into the brickwork. A house of skulls in the jungle. The innocent, the innocent, Mandus, trod and bled and gassed and starved and beaten and murdered and enslaved. This is your coming century! They will eat them Mandus, they will make pigs of you all and they will bury their snouts into your ribs and they will eat your hearts!"
>>723382272>gets btfo>has to act flippant to copeWhat makes this even better is that before you insisted that it wasn't true and now you're pretending that you don't care. I'll tell you a secret, doing this just make you look like a faggot thats mad he lost.
jesus fucking christ I can't wait for the game to release, get lukewarm reception, get a few more desperate threads on this fed honeypost for some god damn reasons as if the people here won't just pirate it so that theses barely organics shills fuck off and we can more one to the next flop with maybe less robotix marketing fags
>>723381668>>723382005>>723382186Nigga, you're insane. Nuts, even, perchance.
>leave to play a game>come back>shill still talking to himself
>>723382140there hasn't been any real innovation in gameplay for the last decade and everyone is reigning back mechanical complexity because the more complex (but shittier looking) modern graphics techniques need that CPU poweryou know its bad when you could pick up most of the AAA catalog from the past decade and change and probably know how to play before your first button promptwriting could have made up for it the way good writing was used to really elevate some of the classics but in the modern industry its all reddit faggotry the whole way downsome niche devs are still around to scratch particular itches if you can put up with the differences in overall production quality and pace of releases but even now they're starting to get tainted by the poisoned well water little by little anyway
>>723382478As said by the desperate shill that has to samefag to cope with getting called out.
>>723382448aiiiieeeeeeee my master plan has been fouled
>protag is still a androgynous faggot>strip club is full of women in bdsm gear but also wearing full sports bras because dont sexualize muh women>all rpg mechanics removed>no branching paths or dialogue
>Shilling your shit on /v/ of all places.Pure desperation. Go to reddit you'll have more luck there.Anyway steamdb peak prognosis? I'm guessing 10.000 but I'm being generous.
Hm... I have the art book preordered.
>>723382338>shit ui>awful dialogueSix years for this, huh?
>>723382580that is extremely generous, even if you consider casualfags who will buy it and forget about it as soon as the next slop releases
>>723382580It's the thing I don't get, you'd think they would shill harder on sites where people just consume shit like the vtmb reddit. Yet they keep posting here, as if the few anons who don't just shit on it will not pirate it because why bother paying 60 bucks for a game stuck in dev that barely reflect the original title it's based on ?
>>723382465We'll switch to posting sexy costumes made by modders then.
>>723381915The people shilling this game genuinely take the position that Amnesia a Machine for Pigs was a good horror video game. When on release its reception on Steam was 'mostly negative' or just 'negative' or however it was rated back then. Over time apologists changed it to 'mixed'. But I digress we have a machine for pigs apologists shilling VTMB2. So that's bad enough if you believe it was suddenly organic that VTMB1 was being talked down by a bunch of nobodies. I'm fine with people who dislike vtmb1 because you can levy criticism generally at it's combat and we've had that over the year, but then seeing a connection with marketing about how VTMB2 'improves' is what hasn't ever sit right with me over this past year, it's fishy marketing bullshit.
>>723382506>poorfag writes 2 paragraphs of vaguest shit possibleWhan an amazing post. You even threw in reddit as an adjective in there, you're so kinopilled and cinemabased.
>>723382559>>no branching paths or dialogueThat's simply untrue, though.
>>723382506Those are precisely the reasons gaming has sunk into the background for me as a hobby.I play a couple of indie games every year and maybe one AAA if the industry decides to actually release something more than a video game simulator. This year, that's NG4, and that's about it.
>>723382743no its true, i can tell by how dogshit the game is just from the screenshots
>>723382607Yea, so that's sorta the issue. Is VTMB2 the best written VTM game ever made? Yes. But it's nowhere near as good as the old stuff The Chinese Room used to make. This has clearly been rewritten by much less talented and visionary writers.
>>723382542All I need to do is reply and you'll keep throwing a tantrum. You've made this too easy. I mean you can say its trolling, but you've done this before and no one believed it them. Also of course the retarded shill for wokeshit game is into pretending to be a small child in a shitty MMO
>>723382589I'm not buying a game with black women in it. It's an incredibly simple policy but one that has never failed me and never will. It guarantees I will never play shit games.
>>723382726A Machine for Pigs isn't really interested in being a horror game. I can see why people expecting a horror game might be upset at it.
>>723382784absolutely basedi too do not consume media with brown people in it
>>723382737I can afford any entertainment product I could ever want. The game isn't expensive, it simply won't be good because of the people who made it.
>>723382782>Is VTMB2 the best written VTM game ever made? Yesseething so hard you can't even make a coherent sentence. Just endless shilling.
>>723382768>gaming has sunk into the background for me as a hobby>still religiously posts on a videogame board>in a thread of a game he isn't interested in at thato i am laffin
>>723382782>Is VTMB2 the best written VTM game ever made? Yes.It's not even written well to begin with. Come on, now.
>>723382860Are you ESL? That's a very straightforward sentence.
>>723382828Is that all the chink room can do? get their hands on an IP and then make a game that is nothing like its supposed to be?
>>723382867>still religiously posts on a videogame boardI participate in two or three threads per week. Hardly religious.>in a thread of a game he isn't interested in at thatThe original is my favorite game of all time. It's fair to participate in threads for the "sequel" if I feel like it.
>>723382920would explain the choices when making vtmb2
>>723382768is NG4 even considered AAA industry anymore? I don't think its budget is bloated enough
>>723382897It's just that the bar is pretty low. VTMB1 is hugely overrated in terms of writing quality with a terrible story, and people just like the characters, who are mostly one dimensional cutouts. The VNs are okay. Swansong feels Google translated at points.
So are he hyped for nu-Damsel written by a woman?
>>723382907>That's a very straightforward sentence>Yea, so that's sorta the issue starts out alright.>Is VTMB2 the best written VTM game ever made? Yes.completely off the rails, and has nothing to do with what is being said, just you being a whore.>But it's nowhere near as good as the old stuff The Chinese Room used to makeMore you sucking dick.>This has clearly been rewritten by much less talented and visionary writersAnd one last bit as cum dribbles down you chin. None of this has anything to do with what i said and is just you mindlessly shilling. Every accusation is a confession with you illiterate faggots.
>>723382946what bullshit loljaded fucks like yourself are literally half the board, endlessly bitching about "new bad" and saying they don't play "modern slop" while continuing to post on a videogames board. why don't they fuck off to /vr/ where they can freely circlejerk "old good" until they croak is beyond me
>>723382991Its not an RPG and it lacks most of the shit from the original game.>inb4 thats good *gags on paradox's cock*
>>723383101>p-please go away and let me shill in peace
>>723383080I'll break it down for you. The writing is awful because, while it's obviously a lot better than Bloodlines 1, it's just so much worse than the likes of Still Wakes the Deep.
>>723382726well they have to pretend machine for pigs wasn't trash it was made by the chinese room and its part of the as seen on youtube 15 years ago amnesia franchise that everyone loves still apparently even though the average person couldn't name any of the games that came out after it got handed over
>>723383135Its all he can do, He's most likely going to cry to the mods soon to shut everything down.
>>723383080ah yes, crying about "shills" is one of your greatest feats too, how could have I forgotten about that
>>723383158>constantly shitting on vtmb1Alright miss, calm down now we know you hate the source material but it wont make your game sell better
>>723383158>retard does'nt deny being an illiterate cocksucer>just deflects with more dicksucking and crying about VtMB
how do i get a job shilling shit games or is it all pajeet offshore
>>723383101>unironically endorsing "modern slop">unironically implying "old good" isn't truemindless consumers like you are why most games are trash nowkys faggot
Could you imagine what the counterparts of these threads must look like on cock gobbling shitholes like reddit and resetera?The jeets assigned to those sites must be having such an easy time compared to the sad sacks that have to constantly try and pretend to fit in here.
>>723383213>so btfo by being called out he has to samefag againDo you ever get tried of being such a pathetic faggot? How do you even look yourself in the mirror knowing you bullied and btfo by people on 4chan daily?
>>723383295its a market totally cornered by jeetcels saar
>>723383346ah well.
>>723383295Its mostly just the job of interns that work for the community manager, or firms in the third world.
>>723383306I had the morbid curiosity to check the reddit and you can see that some people here a cautious and some thread even calls out the really hammered down marketing but over time theses users seemed to have disappeared, they probably left when they realized they wont like the game.Nowaday it's split between shilling and vtmb memes apparently
>>723383295pajeets climb over each other for these jobs because using a computer and talking to westerners puts them decently high on the social laddera daily wage of about 5USD puts you above 60-70% of the population in terms of earnings
Reminder, that the shitposters didnt even play original game. Its just Discord of criminals who blackmail devs demanding crypto payments or they`ll spam and shitpost their their games on all platforms.VtmB, Homm:Olden Era they target games without massive marketing campaign where such shitposting might have an impact in theory.Basically, a criminal sindicate - /v/ mods are on it hence why they arent banned and let persist.They hadnt succeeded to get paid even once yet, so i assume this will only lasts a while, since even such imbeciles arent wired to do the job for free.
>>723383475yeah i looked awhile ago and it was just non-stop shilling if you dont like it you arent a real fan etc etc everybody with an opinion that isnt flat out gushing gets shut downdesu there are very few places where that doesnt happen with new releases one way or the other but it was so blatant there it was embarrassing. the whole place is like a constant salespitch
>>723383135of course a brairotten jaded faggot is gonna twist what i said to fit his narrative lolno, sweaty, your strawman quote that you pulled out of your ass isn't what i meant at all. I'm just appalled at the fact that you keep bitching about new bad, yet keep voluntarily coming here to get offended. you're literally addicted to being mad, often over something that you youself dream up or, as seen by your tone-deaf quote>>723383298what a brave, unique statement. never seen this one before
>>723383535this is one of the most jeetoid coded things i've ever read
>>723383531Not just pajeets, SEAmonkies do it as well as chinks. Imagine something like this but with computers.
>>723382828What's funny to me is that The Chink Room shills like yourself tried talking down about the original Amnesia too. But let me ask you this: what game had more fan content and modding related content released that is associated with it? which led an actual legacy? because Amnesia The Dark descent total conversions still happen to this day. A Machine for Pigs left no mark of its own. There's barely anything. That's because you couldn't even do much with the Machine for Pigs engine. It's actually LIMITED in functionality compared to TDD. And The Chinese Room's game will also not leave a legacy in comparison to VTMB1. All they do is hijack existing things and do nothing special of their own. VTMB1 modding is good because there's a good game associated with it likewise.They have no mark on the industry except for making the first walking sim in Dear Esther, they pioneered a title of mockery.
>>723383609didnt read, you're a seething faggot posting gay little reddit comics lol
>>723383101The fuck are you talking about, bitch?I'm not your boogeyman, and I won't fuck you, no matter how hard you try.
look ranjesh buddy for future reference its spelled "syndicate"
>>723383675figures>>723383704talking about tryhard /v/ermin like yourself, obviously, since it seems like you took offense at my post
>>723383675The best part is that when he's seething like this he's not shilling the game.
>talking about tryhard /v/ermin like yourself
>>723383830>/v/erminOh looks like the shill is picking up troon lingo. Guess what retard, that won't make you fit in either.
>>723383848he's probably out of premade posts from his marketing documents to copy pasteendlessly hilarious to me that they think they can keep trying to name characters from a game nobody is able to play yet and seem organic
Out of all the games in the world, why shill for this?
>>723383830I said I won't fuck you, bitch. Stop trying to get my attention. My dick is spoken for.
>>723383848>he's not talking about the game while replying to a post that hasn't said anything about the game!11splendid detective work over there palwhat else is on your agenda today, publicly shitting yourself while being angry at videogames? oh wait, you've done that already
>>723384019Because that's what the swedes are paying him to do. Don't worry though in 20 minutes it's lunchtime in Sweden and you'll notice the shilling stop completely for an hour.
>>723384047>so mad he had to reply with passive aggressive faggotryLooks like I hit a nerve, gonna cry? Or just keep replying like someone that's trying to say they're not mad while their face gets redder and redder?
>>723358153>devs piss volumetric fog everywhere these days>can't have a bit of fog in a disco
>>723384047>replying to someone who posted a reply to one of her postsfat girl shilling shit games confirmed
>>723383639>But let me ask you this: what game had more fan content and modding related content released that is associated with it?AMFP was not intended to spawn mods. It is a vehicle to tell a story. Unless you have award winning British actors, what are you gonna make?>which led an actual legacy?Bloodlines 2 isn't mimicking the original Amnesia. It's mimicking Dear Esther and A Machine for Pigs. Same with P.T., Layers of Fear, and really the entire narrative walking sim genre as a whole and all the games that cribbed from it.
>>723384019paradox really needs this game to sell well because its been in the burning garbage landfill at the depths of development hell and they've been burning their goodwill with their main moneymakers a bit too much recently
>>723384174bitch, please, you've been shitting yourself and crying for the past hour at leastit takes one positive post about the game, no matter how mild, and you're instantly typing away with anger. literal outrage-addicted cattle
Im reinstalling bloodlines 1 instead of playing this.
>>723384387spooky month is a good a time as any
>>723383639>They have no mark on the industry except for making the first walking sim in Dear EstherI'm not sure you appreciate how profoundly influential Dear Esther is as a game. It is one of the most important games ever made, completely redefining what people thought a videogame could be, and the kind of story it could tell.
>>723373654Despite looking good for normie eyes, a lot of us here can spot bullshots or marketeer tricks. We already saw gameplay of it which looks tedious at best. The atmosphere will be killed often by fabien silver hands because modern gamers cannot be trusted to have an ounce of attention. Combat is a floaty mess of unity assets and the protagonist looks hideous, be it as a male or female. The devs didn't even made a difference what sex you play, you'll be addressed as a sexless blob anyway. But a shill will try to spin it in a positive way.Game looks mid at best but is rather somewhere in the lower echelons.
>>723384343>no ulol, you are to predictable. But I thanks for proving me right again and showing I struck a nerve, Oh and go on a diet you fat fuck.
If there's no equipment in game then there's no need for currency. Then what's the point of side quests? Just for leveling up?
>>723384343>the saar called me the bitch and none /v/ermin gave the negative (you)>I am to be calling the saars "bitch" to look more the natural>bloody benchod bitch bastards
>>723358153Soulless vtmb tranny shill thread
>>723384456>influential Dear Esther is as a game.You mean the journo circlejerk that says its great because it lets them pretend that they're gamers?
>>723358153Unironically looks like shit. Only absolute peak gameplay and writing could save this slop, but we all know that it is going to be pure garbage.
>>723384497>Then what's the point of side quests?The enjoy the immaculate action combat, of course!
>>723384472>>no uthat's strictly a (You) prerogative, fella. everyone can scroll up and see that you're the initiator of every shitposting chain itt
>>723384459>us>weYou hired several people to write that post for you? Preachy soapboxing clown.
>>723384686>n-no no uThis is too easy>everyone can scroll up and see that you're the initiator So you admit its "no u" and you're just repeating what I said like a child.>shitposting Oh look the shill has to say its shitposting to cope
>>723384775>we>usAs nonmarketeers, shillkun.
>>723384775Multiple people in this thread have called you a shill.
>>723384453i also acquired pic related to do Vampire but with the playstyle/gameplay i actually like in TTRPGs.
>>723384849an actual live deluded schizophrenic, god damn. they really shouldn't have closed mental hospitals
>>723384459>gameplay looks tedious>hideous characters>certainly not winning any points for writingwell well well, it IS a Paradox game after all
>>723384902>>723384904How many people have participated in making of that post for it to say 'we'? You do feel that it comes off as annoying soapboxing, right?Or are you implying that multiple people actually did coordinate to post it? Wouldn't that be a dreaded discord raid - something that 'shills' do? Captivating, very interesting. I am eager to hear your responses.
>>723385004>n-no you're shitposting>NOOOOO YOU'RE SCHIZOChanging copes like this just further shows how hard you're coping. You always cry schizo when a nerve gets struck. Cry moar faggot.
>>723385256>How many people have participated in making of that post for it to say 'we'?Moving the goalpost? How pathetically predictable.
>>723385420every post authored by a schizophrenic is a shitpost, you can't produce anything coherent a priori
>>723385469????That's pretty much the same thing I asked in my first reply. You doing ok there, bud? Lost the plot?
>>723385569>its a shitpost because... IT JUST ISIts good to know I have fucked with you so badly you've devolved into the kind of gibbering mess that says stupid shit like this. To think you tried being passive aggressive only to immediately trip up like a toddler.
>>723385646>That's pretty much the same thingNotice how the shill can't say it is the same thing thus showing he is in fact moving the goal post. He will now cry that me pointing this out is not fair because he has nothing else.
>>723385740>yet more schizophrenic delusions of grandeurok
>paradox shill has resorted to calling any pushback against her marketing efforts shitpostingembarrassingtake a lunch break, it's been 12 o'clock for all of 8 minutes noweat a salad, fattytake a walkcome back in an hour
>>723385914>gets btfo>waaaaah schizolol, cope harder, faggot.Your need to avoid everything that proves you wrong just proves my point.
>>723385859It is the same thing. It is asking how many people participated in making of that post. Why are you so adamant on arguing semantics and avoiding answering such a simple question? Are you actually buttbuddies with someone in discord, and accidentally tripped up like that almost exposing your coordinated efforts to shit up the thread? Would be hilarious if so.
>>723366604Because V5 is only interested in fucking thinbloods that are barely vampires. Yeah, because that's who the VtM players want to play as.And this character I assume is not a thinblood but a legit elder.
>>723386048>It is the same thingThats not what you said before, If it was you would have said this prior. All you can do now is cope.
>>723358773Kek, she joined the Nosferatu
>>723386058Why do Thinbloods get sucked off so much in V5? What the fuck is the point of playing a bitch tier vamp that can't even fucking feed properly..
>>723386058>Yeah, because that's who the VtM players want to play as.Well, yeah, Kindred are too powerful, impersonal, and amoral to play as. TBs are the closest playable character that has special powers but is on the victim stack to play for and as a libtard.
>>723386006it's not waaaaah schizo, it's just schizo. you are having a meltdown over a videogame, chasing around imaginary shills and samefags throughout the thread, and then declaring victory, hence delusions of grandeur. you're even doing it now on two fronts
>>723386196see >>723386210Easier for homos to self-insert and not as icky as Kindred.
>>723386113>still avoiding the questionInteresting. Alright then, I'm noticing something peculiar ;)
>>723386216>waaah schizo >nooo let me shill my gameNah, cry more faggot, You lost and this trash will flop. All you can do is throw a tantrum is say everyone else is as unhinged as you.
>>723385256>How many people have participated in making of that postare you mindbroken or is it normal for you to not write your own thoughts? If I talk about "we" or "us" i´m talking about the people who are gamers but do not need to being called that. The non shills, the people who think this game will be just another try to politize a renown IP and make a easy buck with the nostalgia bait, because thats what the devs are clearly trying to, to bait in the people who loved the real VTMB. I also use the "we" and "us" for people who adored the firstt game but are not interested in this putrid piece of propaganda.I´ll probably pirate, even for a few hours, just to shitpost better about it and see how right i was about my prediticions of this trainwrek.Thanks for reading MY post shillkun, hope you´ll be fired soon.
>>723386262You said that it was "That's pretty much the same thing" thus showing it was not the same. I answered you there. But since you can't handle being wrong you have to ignore it and get passive aggressive to cope. Looks like baby is crying yet again over me striking a nerve.
>>723386242So its just inserting victim complex shit into a fucking RPG? Let me guess they consider Diablerie to be "punching up"?
>487 replies>page 2
>>723386356>If I talk about "we" or "us" i´m talking about the people who are gamers but do not need to being called thatNah, when you talk about 'we' or 'us' that means you're being an annoying preachy faggot, thinking that everybody around you is, or should be, sharing your opinions.For the record, I am also not particularly hopeful about the game, so your 'heheheheheheheheheh gotcha shill' is falling on deaf ears.>>723386431>still trying to argue semanticsNow that's a real mindbroken drone.
>>723386671>don't point out that I contradicted myself from jump let me be rightAccusations still seem to be confessions with you.
>>723386161That's Hardsuit Labs version of Damsel
>>723366759I think it sucks.
>>723382478>that webmWhen will someone dub this little fella? We're all secretely asking for this
>>723386761>Accusations still seem to be confessionsThe anon who hurled that at you must be proud of having mindbroken you so hard you've been repeating this like a broken record ever since lmfao
>>723381409pretty sure they came up with the poster excuse after everybody made fun of the name
>>723387053Nah, you're just seething that I keep bringing up how you were projecting. The fact you know that someone else said it shows that since why would you a supposedly random person dig through every reply. But good job outing yourself, again. How's the lunch break going btw? Enjoying seething between downing you chicken tenders you mom packed you?
>>723386671look, if i talk about "we" and "us" i´m talking about people who wouldn´t eat shit even if others would tell them it´s good shit.you on the other hand...
>>723358153Repulsive aesthetics. The clubs in the good game were very basic and rundown. It showed that vampires may be immortal but they aren't magical gods who can run clubs flawlessly or have the money to spare for renovations. All this supposed wealth of vampires is kind of a LARP and their power isn't as secure and absolute as they may present themselves. At the end of the day they are all grimy little blood suckers hiding in shadows and crippled by the fact that they can't go out in the sunlight so they can never really get that much power and influence.The shitty ''sequel'' has Cyberpunk clubs with every surface of the club covered in LEDs and thousands of spotlights with giant screens on walls.Retards.
>>723387205He knows, but he can't argue that so he has to pretend you mean something else.
>>723387053I've no feelings towards that. With the frequency he's taken it on I actually think he's already forgotten that I said it to him literally in this very thread. Don't forget that he shows his face in every single vtmb2-related thread, so in his warped mind it could've felt like it's been days since that moment already.
>>723383306it's an absolute shithole, shills started ragebaiting everybody with a negative opinion until the new mods banned anybody that didn't leave of their own volition so the shills could circlejerk in peace.it's basically the WoD discord 2.0 at this point
>>723387264>has to talk to himself to copeSo mindbroken you have to go back to pretending to be another person just to cover your ass after I pointed out how absurd it was that you know about something I said in a chain hours ago, really what part of your brain tells you that this shit will work. Its like seeing a cop walk up to you and saying you didn't kill a specific person that was found dead that morning.
>>723387317Unsurprising, subreddits are notorious as just being places that companies can use to market shit. At least here they have to pay gookmoot and even then people can't get banned for calling them out (most of the time anyway).
>>723387205I think WE ;) have already established that you're just being an annoying preachy faggot. I can say with certainty that you're a regular in idpol threads, THEY ;) love that style of speech in there.
>>723387579>admits this is an idpol thread while being a passive aggressive retard
>>723387516yes but it was a recent development after they got some new mods, before that the subreddit was actually useable
>>723386505>Let me guess they consider Diablerie to be "punching up"?Yes, literally "eat the rich" to them.
>>723387651That's how it usually is, I suppose the subreddit will die once the game flops given no one is going to want to use it and the old mods won't come back.
>>723387624Unfortunately, you can't tell nowadays what is and what isn't an idpol thread on /vee/, until after you've taken a look inside. You're to thank for that.
>>723387693So I suppose if I play a thinblood mary sue and drain Nines then I will be fighting da power, that is if he's still there and didn't fuck off to the middle east.
>>723387757>doesn't deny this is an idpol thread>/vee/You made the thread faggot, you're the one responsible for this shit show.
>>723387783Another aspect of it is the lack of clan.Thinbloods are like a "class" of vampire, while clans are like "races", so it appeals more to their broken psychology.>if I play a thinblood mary sue and drain Nines then I will be fighting da power>LA Anarchs are mostly of clan Brujah>but anarchy is for everyone>fuck those fascist Brujah bastards hogging all the anarchy for themselves
>>723388013I am genuinely baffled why anyone would not just play V20. Is V5 super streamlined and normalfag friendly?
>>723387843>>doesn't deny this is an idpol threadNot quite, it's more of a schizo gathering thread where every 'unsanctioned' opinion is met with screeching about DA SHILLS. But these often overlap with idpol threads as far as their regulars go.>>/vee/Yes, /vee/. Got a problem with that, sissy boy?>You made the threadI didn't.
>>723388115>it's more of a schizo gathering threadThe only schizo here is you, you've gone insane trying to shill this retarded cash grab to the point where you just default to sucking dick and talking to yourself. You even dropped crying semantic and all the other gay shit just to bitch about how you were btfo yet again. Now the mods are autosaging the thread so you can leave.>Yes, /vee/Tourists really are retarded.>I didn't You did, only you get so invested in all of this shit and cry about how some random thread isn't going your way. Like a toddler.
>>723388409Sorry to hear about your mental state, get well soon ;)
>>723388467You always resort to passive aggressive seething when i hit a nerve. Also ironic you say sissy boy while winking like a faggot.
It's apparently 21GB on PS5. Crazy good optimization size-wise.
>>723388604No wonder it looks like shit.
>>723384174>>723384472>>723385420>>723386431>>723388523>hit a nerveOne of the symptoms of various schizoaffective disorders and autism is constantly repeating the same phrase over and over. Just throwing it out there, sissy boy ;)
Holy shit, what a tweest. Verona is actually one of Ysabelle's main ghouls. The black succubus feeding on the pure bred Christian white girl from a good Southern family.https://youtu.be/0EQOW4XcHXU?si=VKrsVKyIZNLveP4D&t=6823
>>723388742Ironic, but thanks for proving yet again your projecting you mental illness on everyone
>>723388854>one last shill post before the mods kill the threadGod you're pathetic.

Game looks fucking amazing.
>>723388860>7 amthis unemployed faggot literally sat here all night shitting himself over a videogayme HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>723389001Yeah I figured when I posted that you would cope and say what you used for you screencap before. Didn't use that though since I don't need to pretend to be other people to argue or online. nor do I need to act like a passive agressive faggot when I get called out.
>>723389134It's my day off, what's your cope, lunch ended a while ago for you. Unless you get paid to do this

>>723388854RACEPLAY DETECTED.
I'm watching a playthrough of the other Chinese Room game, Still Runs the Deep or whatever the fuck. Now every retarded decision in this filth makes sense. You can't bring stuff between areas because every door hides a loading screen and they don't know how to have a character load into a scene with something in their hands. The movement and world interaction is basically identical and in the worst way. This puffed up indie reskin will be such a fucking shitshow I can't even begin to imagine it.
