>>723525516>he thinks vtmb needs to be shilled, on fucking /v/ of all places
A troubled cult classic that cost WAY too much to make, and isn't nearly erotic enough.
>>723525628>vtmbThis isn't vtmb, its a shitty cashgrab thats using its name. Get fucked and kill yourself subhuman.
Next week a lot of people on /v/ are going to be defending Bloodlines 2 after playing it. But there's going to be a combination of acknowledging the problems and feeling a sense of regret and perhaps anger at the studio for making pig-headed choices. Not about things like the voiced protag, not really. More about how they've fundamentally misunderstood what people want from a vampire RPG in terms of really feeling like a vampire (with meaningful agency).The writing in most of the game is good. The voice acting is good. But that's not enough. The rest of the package has deep issues, and that's going to cause a lot of controversy.
>>723525820>when the reviews come out you'll see its good>when it comes out you'll see its good>when the sales come in you'll see its good
>>723525951There were people who defended Cyberpunk (and Bloodlines 1) when it came out because they liked the writing and characters.
>>723526059bloodlines 1 was good despite being 4/10
>>723526390The thing about Bloodlines 1 is that it avoids being repetitive. Bloodlines 2 is a game that is 20 hours long when it should have maybe been a tight, focused, 10 hour experience.
>>723526059>and Bloodlines 1You can spot the shill by the fact he always cires about VtMB its usually>NOOOO ITS THE SAME AS VTMBor>NOOOO VTMB WAS SHITAlso Cyberpunk had years of hype on not one pathetic schizophrenic faggot spamming thread on 4chan and talking to himself for hours. But is suppose the "people" that will defend this trash will just be you samefagging and talking to yourself as usual. You even said you would do this a few weeks ago.
>>723526523Unfortunately, some of VTMB2's problems are precisely because it mimics the structure of VTMB1, like the generally lifeless hubs. I don't think the game actually needed an open world. I think the game as a whole is trapped between conflicting creative visions. There is so much walking, so much running. The lack of a fast travel system was okay in BL1 because the hubs were tiny, and you changed locales completely every few hours.
>>723526759>open worldVtMB wasn't open world shill, imagine immediately outing yourself like this again.
Absolute kino.
>>723525820>The voice acting is goodWhy do people keep saying this? I literally muted the clan trailers because of how grating the voice acting. Everyone is hamming it up bad.
>>723526953He didn't say it was.
>>723526759It doesn't mimic the hubs though. VTMB1 had a few different hubs, and most story missions sent you to a separate level.In this game, its one large hub you backtrack over constantly and all story missions except a couple take place in it.
>>723526953VTMB2 has basically five hubs that it stitches together into one world. They took elements of the cancelled version's hubs.
>>723527123You did by saying it mimicked VtMB you stupid fucking faggot, and it doesn't even do that since again there are no hubs in an open worlds.
>>723527071>Everyone is hamming it up bad.That's a huge part of VTM's appeal.
>>723527071Yeah I remember watching the demo that streamers could play and the voice direction was totally off. Even if the actor was technically competent, they were being directed in such a baffling manner where everyone has a weird vague accent and puts emphasis on the most baffling words. The writing also gives me major tonal whiplash. Granted all online discussion about this game is going to be poisoned on account of the shills. This game is the reason Paradox bought the IP, and it's been a shitshow. They're willing to burn some extra cash to try and astroturf it enough to recoup the losses.
>>723527216It doesn't its an open world like you said, kill yourself you backpedaling retard.
I always had a feeling it would be floating around a 6.5 just factoring in all the delays and developer changes that happened.
>>723527257>NOOOO ITS THE SAME AS VTMBPredictable
People want a good vampire story. Why don't they just do an rpg like disco elysium in the world instead of forcing open world shit and bad combat? The fanbase basically just some vampire lit and some hotties to goon to.
>>723527071>Why do people keep saying this?Who is saying this?
>>723527404Because modern writers in the industry are manchildren that need to have their special donut steels need to have a special story and be fellated by the PC.
>>723527404We probably would have gotten something like that if TCR got a hold of the game initially and didn't have it thrown at them years into development.
>>723527552>walking sim dev>writing good vampire RPGThis shill is so embarassing.
>>723527696I liked the story of machine for pigs, sue me.
>>723527807>I liked the story of machine for pigs, sue me.
>>723527081holy shit
>>723524842An absolutely abysmal time that'll leave you disillusioned at just how bad it was and with a sense of dull anger against the devs and publisher that you can't explain beyond the fact that it's basically a mockery of the game it shamelessly preys on through nostalgia bait but could never begin to live up to, and in turn a mockery of anyone who liked VTM: Bloodlines because nobody in the long, embarrassing struggle to squeeze out this fetid turd ever stopped to care what fans would like. It's an abortion made icky for wrong reasons, custody chief among them greed and spite. Between VTMB and this game, the franchise took an extremely ugly, poisonous turn and became indoctrinated with US leftist ideology which is antithetical to fun, creativity and good narratives. And it is on this revolting, rotten basis that Paradox (an absolutely Satanic studio by every definition) told one studio to create a cash grab, which it failed to do, only to tell ANOTHER studio to try. The result is the most grotesque frankenstein monster of bad ideas, poor management, unrealistic expectations and failure imaginable. A narrative clusterfuck of terrible ideas executed obnoxiously simplistically by a gaggle of ideologically poisoned scum with neither the skill or talent to make something fun, so they had to settle for provocatively ugly and insulting to those unlucky or dumb enough to play it.
making these threads is funny because that one guy gets so fucking buttmongled pissed when you do. we all know this game is soulless dogshit
>>723528216Easy with the well poisoning shill, Its a turd, but you saying "icky" like some troon with severe arrested development gave you away.
>>723528350>making these threads is funny because that one guy gets so fucking buttmongled pissed when you do.Which guy?
>>723528350Why do you always pretend you baiting when you get btfo? You literally went apeshit earlier over being called a shill.
i preordered the deluxe. get hyyyyyyype!
>>723528520lil bro the psyop shills are coming for youuu ooOOooooh
>>723528595>shill immediately spills his spaghetti and drops the actToo easy.
>>723528425I said "icky" because I'm writing in my phone while taking a huge stinky shit (that will nonetheless be better than this game when it's out) on the toilet and it wrongly autocorrected "only" you sperg.
>>723524842Mediocrity
>>723528672dumbass lol i hope you’re stuck here forever guarding vtmb2 threads
>>723528679>samefag>acting like a toddlerLike I said arrested development troon.
>>723528724>23:55:14>23:56:18Samefags are so retarded.
I don’t know the franchise. It looks cool theoretically and aesthetically, but there’s an entire canyon between what I see and what anons say about it. I don’t mean to be a downer, but I’m expecting a sewer fire.
im bored, do something
>>723528738How can someone be a samefag with only one post in the thread, Anon?
>20:56:34 >20:57:35
>>723528806>I don’t mean to be a downerWanting it to fail is the opposite of being a downer
>>723528786>>723528845>>723528724>>723528679If you’re a samefag, show me.
>>723528806I like the franchise and this is definitely sewer fire tier
>>723528845>>723528862I'm not pretending to be two different people, samefag. But thanks for showing yet again you're a tourist and a shill.
I got paid to shill this game I’m sorry
Update on my big stinky shit:It's much larger than I anticipated and my anus is hurting. I'm going to need to contact a second developer to get this one out. Pray for me.
>>723528892>samefag has to sperg out and reply to himself and quote me once>doesn't realize i can just post a screencap. Your turn faggot, and if you refuse you're proving me right
>>723528926You aren't very good at this
>>723529039I know you use dev tools faggot.
every single bloodsucking faggot vampire in this thread should be crucified and left in the sun
>>723529076As expected of a Paradox developer.
>>723528947>>723528965>so buckbroken he has to ironically admit to shilling and talk about shitting his pants like a toddlerDon't feel pity for him, he chose this. Don't get any feces in your axewound.
just make a visual novel or walking sim.It'd be a lot cheaper and focus on their core strengths.You think people play VTMB for the combat? lmao.Although I did enjoy the original VTMB werewolf chase level, shit was spoopy.
>>723529148>>723529076STOP IT
DOA
>>723529178>WAAAAH STOP POINTING OUT HOW I SAMEFAG
There's just something about autists seething this badly about a game that makes me want to get it just to piss them off. I can't really explain it.
>>723524842>~12 hour game>~6 hours as Phyre>~6 hours as Fabien>DLC with ~3 hours as Benny>DLC with ~3 hours as Ysabela>Playing as your protagonist unironically has less content than playing as other charactersWhat did they mean by this?
Ngl I never played the ttrpg I just like to shit on retards
>>723528947I'll see if maybe I can forgive you in a hundered years anon.
>>723529325>>723529406>autists seethingYou literally sperged out over being called a shill and admitted to seething for 24 hours.
>playing mulatta clan vampire with crippledyke background>meet Hexenfyre >try to romance him/her>s/he refuses because I'm already romancing the english-somali guy I feel othered. How could they have overlooked romance options for ENM individuals? Any mod to fix this?
>>723529514You're quoting two different people again
>>723529370They meant that self-insert fags are subhuman
>>723529148This guy has officially gone insane and it's legitimately Paradox's fault for paying for these threads.How can they be held legally accountable?
I would rather jerk of to Gianna Michaels blowjob compilation
