>>
All the criticism I've seen so far centers around how it compares poorly to the first game, while having rose-colored delusions about the OG.
I've seen people (probably zoomers who've never even played the game but watched some faggot ass youtube essay) pretend Bloodlines 1 was some kind of sprawling, deep RPG with tons of player agency when in reality the RPG mechanics were half-baked, half the skills and attributes useless, and the combat complete dogshit. The walking simulator hub exploration where you go around talking to people and soak in the atmosphere was always the only good part of the first game. VTMB was never actually a good RPG, and if you think it was you're a zoomer retard that needs to play some real RPGs.
>>

You like unfinished slop with racist caricatures and bad gameplay?
>>
>>723869260
I ws alright with the initial hook of playing a fish out of the water old vampire; that would have made a nice paralel to the first game; but they had to put a not!Johnny Silverhand voice in your head; and the game visuals and general polish feels like cheap; really shows the development hell.
What made me uninstall is that half of the bindings didn't work correctly, either didn't show correctly or reverted; just buggy as shit in general; that's unacceptable

What I don't really get is why they insisted on the fabien gameplay sections. Not only do they suck, but they nuke any and all potential replayability... not like you want to replay this piece of garbage, but still.
>>723870763
The fact it can't measure to a 20 year old game, made on a unfinished engine while they were rushed by executives is embarrassing on so many levels. Gaming has regressed so hard bros
>>
>>723870890
>why they insisted on the fabien gameplay sections
They're a walking sim dev and they fucking HATE that video gamers expect gameplay
I remember the Machine for Pigs video by Mandalore, one of the quotes was something like "they despise that they have to put in gameplay parts"

The first game was also dogshit you retards. No one liked it until they saw someone else play it for them.

They were a way of fixing the game's story and pacing without blowing the budget more. They realized that a lot of people primarily want to play VTMB as a walking sim, and all the combat that Phyre was doing was going to annoy them. So they killed two birds with one stone. First, push the game towards being more of a walking sim. Two, cram a lot of world building and character development into flashbacks.

>>723871056
>They realized that a lot of people primarily want to play VTMB as a walking sim, and all the combat that Phyre was doing was going to annoy them.
There was huge segments of VTMB1 where you just walked around and explored shit with minimal combat, I don't get why they didn't focus on that instead shoving flashbacks through your throat that will murder anyone's desire to replay the game after they realize it takes 1/3 of the total length time while being on-rails garbage.

It's just Paradox trying to create a narrative that will save them from their stocks dropping once it's time to face the investors
"The game failed because no one ever actually liked Bloodlines" sounds better than "The game failed because we couldn't give the fans a good game that would satisfy 2 decades of demand".

People (not just the shill) have said for years that VTMB combat is shit and I'm tired of this slander
I would look a lot more kindly upon VTMB2 if I could ragdoll people with a baseball bat. The retarded dropkick is a good start but not enough
>>
Pirated it and only just started playing, but the dialogue seems really stilted/sometimes outright doesn't make sense.

Had the first conversation with benny but it felt like he and phyre weren't even directly talking to each other, it started as phyre just asking him about thin bloods and then he's suddenly threatening phyre, saying to get out of the city by tomorrow even though they're just a random stranger and not one of the thin bloods he was hunting?
>>
>>723871583
Yeah a lot of the conversations can best be described as non-sequiturs and wildly changing tone every other line
At least Fabien pointed out he was acting weirdly in this case

It's VTM stuff. Vampires are not allowed to enter cities without permission. So he's on a thinblood murdering rampage. The old prince is dead. He realizes you're not a thinblood, but tells you that you have 24 hours and it's open season anyway.

He is talking past Phyre because they have completely different objectives.

Yeah VTMB is a rough but ambitious game that tried to do a lot with the limited tech and hardware at the time.
You'd think 20 years of advancement in game development would let you capitalize on the original game's vision instead of just making a shittier version of Dishonored (which was already a dumbed down version of Thief).
>>
>>723870651
As we can see the shill is back to shitting on and crying about VtMB because his game has been outed as abysmal dogshit. Notice how he has to say its just nostalgia yet in the same post claim the people defending it haven't played it. He can't keep his narrative straight since he himself knows he is full of shit and is reeling and grasping at whatever he can.

Yes, I know. Safia should've been Gargoyle food decades ago. The plot only works, because the writers want it to work.
That's the larger issue with the Tremere antitribu. They tend to die very quickly and you need some watertight explanation how the fuck Safia survived this long as an antitribu.

from what i've seen the guy isn't so bad, cool voice, dialogues were alright; its just on the principle that I find it to be a very basic way to do exposition/guide the player; being an elder vampire lost in time and having to adapt by yourself and being wary on who to trust in a new era would have been a much better follow up on the initial hook; but that would have required writing a good rpg.

They literally ran out of money and the only reason the game is """playable""" at all is because a bunch of devs worked for free to get it finished.
Whether or not Activision should have gave them more budget is debatable I suppose. As much as I love the game, I think the project would've went on for a decade if they didn't put their foot down.

>>723870651
You're 100% correct, the game is over 20 years old. Anyone that played it and enjoyed it hasn't done so for decades. It needs a fan patch to fix almost everything.
Every little depressive zoomer cocksucker turns everything into a rebellious "cause" after they are told to do so by some fucking faggot youtuber, /v/ is the perfect place for these depressed gooner pukes so they can whine endlessly about how everything is "slop" and everything needs to fail and burn because they have literally nothing good to remember and nothing to look forward to.

Gaming turned into a hub for mentally ill freaks 10 years ago and its just getting worse and worse, the actual trash here that gets recommended as "kino" is fucking insane. 90% of this chan's userbase is going to troon out in 10-15 years because their dopamine receptors are literally gone from gooning and porn addiction. They have objectively no idea what 'good' or 'fun' is because they feel nothing, that's why they need to told what to think and what to do by their faggot e-celebs.

I suspect that the walking sim version that TCR originally pitched was just the Fabien flashbacks that are in the final game and everything else came later.

Silverhand was the worst part of Cyberpunk for me. I also didn't care for a celebrity's face staring me down for 50+ hours, all it did was remind me that the video game isn't real -- even though I like Keanu a lot, there's just something wrong about putting actual celebrities in video games. Just don't do it. If you have to do it, don't put in A-listers - I've watched Keanu in movies for 30 years now, what's he doing in Night City man?
>>
>>723875139
Stop talking to yourself, the fact that you have to seethe this hard over people that like it even more than the game shows that you're the pathetic retard doing damage control for this shit because the game isn't calling you a mentally unhinged retard.

what part of what I said is damage control? I just didn't mind fabien. the combat is garbage, lots of missing QOL features, tone is way off, writing is generic as shit . i would not recommend anyone buy this full price at all
>>
I played 3 hours so far, now I'm saving my energy up for Dispatch in a few hours.

I went in not expecting Bloodlines 2 but another game like Swansong, and that's pretty much what I got, with a mediocre combat thrown on top.

I also like Fabien. Good voice actor and some pretty funny lines. There's a lot of soul to this game, it just isn't an RPG, let alone a game anywhere near the caliber of the original Bloodlines.

And yes, I already know you'll accuse me of being a shill. To be fair, Paradox would be retarded enough to hire shills for /v/.

That's literally how Keanu sounds in 2025.
Watch John Wick.
I'm not sure what happened to him but he always sounds like he has to put in a lot of effort to say anything at all.
I imagine reciting a soliloquy from Shakespeare would take him 2 weeks.
>>
>>723875242
Every character in the game felt too tryhard and edgy. It almost feels cartoony. Voice acting ranged from mediocre to downright shit.
Took me right out. Didn't help the gameplay and RPG elements are shitty and half assed. Writing was pretty dumb too. I really never got the appeal of this game. Always felt like GTA from wish.com but set in the future.
>>
>>723875360
That's just how Keanu is mainly, not really known for his emoting but yeah his performance in 2077 was just monotone. If you're going to have a voice in my head or a hallucination talking to me for hours on end, they need to be a really strong and emotive character or the appearance of it needs to be toned down. Even though I don't like Mark Hamill I thought his Joker hallucination performance throughout Arkham Knight was great, but he doesn't appear nearly as much as Silverhand does.

You answered your own question, Gaybian is a shit character. Fucking poochie tier retard that never shuts the fuck up and exists soley to belch exposition to phaggot. He is probably the worst fucking character in this game

Notice how the shill needs thinks this is a good cope but he had to throw in that little caveat of saying "full price" implying that people should still spend money on this trash despite his own claim of pirating it.

It idolizes degeneracy, it somehow became "safe horny" for normies, like BG3 did. So every normie tard loves it.
There's a dildo or an anal plug on every shelf, on the ground, in a window, every square foot in the entire map. When you're not looking at a dildo, you're looking at a neon sign of a troon's erect cock.

It was meant to be seen as dystopian, but normies jumped the shark a long time ago.

Westoids literally seethe at slant eyes creating and controlling the video games industry. They cannot stand it. I like Assassin's Creed and decided recently to swallow my pride and play Shadows to form an actual opinion of my own on it, its clear the Frenchies couldn't make a game in Japan without disrespecting it with filth.
I've played games for over 30 years now, I can probably count on one hand a game made in the west with an Asian male protagonist, the only two that come to mind are Prey and Ghost of Tsushima, both of which are pretty decent and respectable characters but Prey is kind of an empty vessel insert.

I'm not even Asian but its obvious the amount of westoid corpos with a stick up their ass that they didn't come in early on video games, now that it has such major spread bigger than the movie and book industries combined, you can see how badly they want to control it for influence and idpol reasons.

They're like a stealth mage, so they use shadow tendrils to attack from a distance and can mask themselves when they feed to make themselves harder to spot. They can also create a shadow realm to move around without being seen or interacted with and can shadow teleport behind enemies, which will require some actions from other clans to take full advantage of, like that Banu Haqim slice attack.

I don't like those strange hand gestures they do when they perform Lasombra skills, but it's whatever.

Currently playing Banu Haqim. You’re given a single attack out the gate that one-shots dregs , multiple kills if you line them up, takes a chunk of health out of Big guys and bosses.

Slow down time for 7-9 seconds? Good for re-positioning and instakilling a dreg

Hush silences a target movements, voice and gun sounds. OP because you can practically feed on anyone because NPCs wont be able to detect any action.

Invisibility practically makes you undetectable for 30 seconds to just one-shot a group.

I’m not even a big VTM fan, but how can you give this game 2 stars? One of the most atmosphere-rich game I’ve played in a long time. Besides Arkham Origins this might be the Christmas game for years to come. Seriously if you love ,, Let the right one in” you will absolutely love this game. I’m 10 hours in and the game runs incredibly, the dialogue is top notch, the city ( the best thing about the game) and the snowy roofs are incredible. There seems to be too much focus on combat but the combat is ok, not incredible or baka, but if you are really creative you can make it fun. Also the attention to detail of interiors, is out of this world. Since Bioshock 1 and Dishonered I haven’t been this focused on everything in interiors. I know that some OG fans( which I respect because without them we wouldn’t have gotten this sequel) really despise the change in direction with this one, but if you are a Dishonored/Bioshock/Prey fan you should really give it a try. This will be a cult classic in 5 years, exactly like the first one .

Nigger, your brain is malfunctioning. I've played 20 minutes of it since my torrent just finished and I'll play some more of it later because as I said I'll speak about how shit it is with real authority. Which you don't have since you admit to never playing it. I'm a professional hater and you're a poser.

Is the guy actually a paid shill or just mentally ill?

>>723877476
Mentally ill shill. He's been extoling the virtues of his lord and savior TCR for over a year. No one would pay a shill for that long

There's so little combat in this game I've no idea what you guys are talking about. I just had an hour long talk with the girl boss Prince then ran home with no combat then one hour Fabien cutscenes with no combat.

Couldn't he just shill A machine for pigs instead of a soulless "sequel"?

>>723877256

In terms of atmosphere, putting it during a blizzard in Seattle was a nice touch, it reminds me of Indigo Prophecy a little bit in terms of vibe. The gameplay reminds me of Thief or Dishonored. Atmosphere wise I wouldn't put it next to how VTMB felt just yet, the two radio voices I heard aren't as good as Deb. The first voice, the male radio guy, reminded me of Andrei a little bit, very ominous for a radio guy.

The criticisms of the role play element is a little over reactive I think. The original game's inventory was never that big a deal and the character sheet for it was quite restrictive. I'll keep playing this to see if they have anything as good as the haunted house or some of the other stuff from the first bloodlines in it, but gameplay wise switching to this style was probably for the best.

I do wish the Lasombra felt a little bit better to play, but what can you do.

It weirds me out that it's like Fabien was written by someone else. Not that his dialogue is good, mind you, it just feels like he was written by a bad writer in 2010 whereas everyone else was clearly written by a bad writer in 2020

It's absolutely better written than Bloodlines 1. Much better characters, much better plot in general, much more interesting story with actual themes you can dig into. Everyone in VTMB1 is a cartoon, a one dimensional clan stereotype cutout.
>>723878232
Fabien was written by someone else. The Fabien in the game was created in 2024 by the game's new narrative director Ian Thomas, replacing the very, very different thinblood character of the same name. This rewrite also involved completely restructuring the game and reworking the entire plot so that Fabien is part of a conspiracy spanning a century. You can see Ian Thomas's influence in Fabien on a conceptual level. Thomas wrote Amnesia Rebirth, about a woman who has forgotten that she already gave birth and is retracing her steps. The big twist that Fabien has solved the rebar killer murders dozens of times and had his mind wiped every time, leaving him to pick up the pieces yet again, decade after decade -- he's one of the greatest detectives to ever live, but everyone is convinced that he's a fraud, is the game's central tragedy. But as the end of his life approaches Fabien makes a wonderful, wonderful gambit. He's going to open the box.

Are you inexplicably trying to claim the ending is badly written? The ending is fantastic. It's crazy because it was clearly something the writers made up on the fly as they pulled the game apart and put it back together late in development, but Fabien, the master detective, winning even in death, is masterful. The game has very obvious anime influences, and this feels inspired by L setting the pieces in motion that will result in his victory in Death Note.

Jack is a cardboard cutout. He is not a character I would characterize as well written. A lot of Bloodlines 1 fans mistake the one dimensional personalities and cartoonish performances for good writing on a game-wide scale. The reason nobody cares about the second half of Bloodlines being shit is that nobody really cares about the game's plot.

Jack is more memorable and had more personality than any of these characters. None of the characters I've seen so far in this game have any real personality and they're all dreadfully boring. You sound like you just have a bias against the first game for some reason. Admittedly, I've only watched this game for about an hour but I'm not impressed so far at all. Someone else ITT said that the dialogue and characters sound like they're written by AI and I have to agree with that anon. Maybe they get better 20 hours in but I'm definitely not going to buy it if my first impression of the game is this bad. Jack was immediately interesting and humorous as soon as you meet him and it compelled me to learn more about the game and the weird ass characters in it.

Fabien voice actor is the only okay-ish thing in the game. The game is so shit it's unbelievable. The writing is repulsive. The Unreal Engine 5 breaks any immersion in the game as you feel the environment is so static with little to no feedback. Even trying to jump somewhere to explore doesn't quite work. The re-use of the same animation when talking with Fabien got old after the first dialogue. I rushed the tutorial just to get out in the city, and it was so tedious. The city and snowstorm sure look good, but it feels a little odd. It really shows they forced the snow to avoid having moving traffic. If you've been to Seattle you know it has more of a Pacific North West rainy city vibe. Anyways, I climbed on some building with red lights just to enjoy the scenery a bit before closing the game.

Awful game. Not even worth 0.001/10 just because I was FORCING myself to keep going and every new thing made it harder and harder to keep going. By comparison, games like S.T.A.L.K.E.R SoC, HL2, RDR2, Sekiro, Elden Ring, and obviously the first VtmB, all hook you from the very start and make you forget what time it is. This Bloodlines 2 crap made me look at my watch from the very first few seconds.

This shouldn't even be legal. There should be something like the Food and Drug Administration to regulate video games. You can't just sell shit like this and call it a video game. It's like mixing 1% orange juice with 99% water and selling it as "orange juice". This is illegal in other industries, so why don't they apply it to gaming?

Thank god I didn't waste a penny on this shit, but I'm still bitter I reduced my HDD's lifespan for THIS.

Nobody is comparing it to the first game in the Vampire the Masquerade series, because that's Redemption.
But let's compare.

Redemption has:

>Better music
>ACTUAL atmosphere
>An inventory with weapons, armour and items

"Bloodlines 2" is a VN with extra shit thrown on to distract you from the fact that it's completely empty and without gameplay.

I see, thanks. Maybe if they're going to throw tutorials at me the whole time, they should do it when I first encounter a concept, rather than putting a marker on the map without explanation
Still mystified that a random dude on the street has cross-clan blood but okay. I would have thought I'd need to take down a vampire for that

Is this your first time encountering a The Chinese Room game? Don't their games always have a vocal hatedom who get incredibly pissy about them removing all the survival horror mechanics from Amnesia? But nobody remembers the plots of the other Amnesia games. They remember:
>I lay there, and watched the god I had created die. At the end when we were cold as the stone we had hewn his body from. When the lights were nearly all extinguished, we heard in the silent distance, the Manpigs singing to one another. Then, as the last lights were gone, and we lay together in the deep, they drifted away, and all was silent. Such a silence, I have never known. And as the dust settled on my open eyes and we lay together embraced forever, I heard miles above us, the sounds of the city turning over in its sleep. A church bell ringing out. And in that moment, the new century was born.
No matter what happens, Bloodlines 2 is going to become a cult classic loved and loathed in equal measure. Maybe patches will tip the scale. It matters not. This is the power of their antagonism. Seizing things you love and claiming them, warping them, making them their own. This is why The Chinese Room endure where others fall to the wayside. Vampire the Masquerade will forever be entangled with them. You cannot discuss Amnesia without A Machine for Pigs crashing the party. You cannot talk about VTM without Bloodlines 2 seeping in like a sickness.

Incidentally, The Chinese Room wanted to make a STALKER game. Their vision for STALKER was really about getting rid of the A-Life and stuff like that and focus on what really matters -- atmosphere and exploration with, at most, very, very rare combat. I sorta feel like maybe Chernobylite realized that vision?

Unironically this. Gib me some money, I can make a half decent successor to VTMB. Like people wouldn't call it a masterpiece, but they'd say it's ok

It won't for the fact that it is forgettable dogshit that gets mogged by a 21 year old game and has to have faggots like you suck it off just to make people think its average. You literally can do nothing but say 'NOOOO ITS GOOD I SWEAR" while everyone picks apart the retarded plot and characters.
>This is the power of their antagonism. Seizing things you love and claiming them, warping them, making them their own. This is why The Chinese Room endure where others fall to the wayside. Vampire the Masquerade will forever be entangled with them
No, it will be forever seen as the Postal 3 to VtMBs Postal 2 and either forgotten or mocked for that fact and all you can do is cope as I and other redownload the game again.

Ending was likely (re)done by a skeleton team post-layoffs. That's my feeling. It's so much rougher than any other scene in the entire game. Given a month or two they'll probably refine it.

Frankly VTMB1's facial animation has always been a meme. Characters jerk between extreme poses, nothing looks natural. It's just passable because the game has a very cartoon-like art style for human characters. The facial animation in VTMB1 is rather bad. Fans have gaslit themselves into thinking it's amazing for decades. But just look at how half their faces is frozen when they speak. How their eyes just roll around randomly. How they snap between expressions in a frame or two. Jeanette looks like she has a hand up her ass puppeteering her.

The first 15 seconds of this are better than anything in 2. There is LESS snapping between animations than in the game that came out 21 years later
The only good animation I've seen in 2 is on Benny's mouth, that looked quite realistic for having fangs in your mouth

I think you're coping really hard about the fact that Bloodline 2 is basically the STALKER 2 of the series and it's totally going to become the face of the brand long term, and any remake of the first game will take a huge spoonful of influence from it.

Yes. VTMB2 has a very similar animation style, and they even mimic the odd head bobbing. But it looks kinda weird with photorealistic faces.
>>723880320
The animation is literally non-stop jerking between poses, what are you talking about? Her right cheek repeatedly jerks sideways at the end of lines. It's good for 2004, but there's a reason Half-Life's facial animation style got kicked the curb for the Crysis style.

>You have schizophrenia, you got baited
Thank you for admitting you don't know how schizophrenia works while doubling down on your retarded cope.
>You still think we're on different sides, so I've won by default
You said I won earlier, also we are on different sides, mainly because I don't need to throw a tantrum like you do every thread.

>It really wasn’t you looked like a bitch.
Cope as you will

>when they get btfo
Never happened, this dumb nigger mistook me for being on the opposite side of the argument when we were on the same time. That's only embarrassing.

>You said I won earlier
Man, you have no reading comprehension lmao.

>also we are on different sides
Nope, you're a retard is all and you happen to be on my side but are too stupid to see it.

It’s not a cope, you are literally sperging out again in the point below and getting mad about this. You know you fucked up and are just impotently raging. I’ll let you and the other autist sort out whatever the fuck this is, but just know you are probably the most pathetic faggot on this board right now. And that is saying something.
>Never happened
If that was the case you wouldn’t have sperged out for the last hour and then pathetically tried to say it was bait. For fuck sake he even called out that that is what you would do and you still did it? Are you really that fucking dumb? Whatever have fun crying, and don’t forget to take your meds.

>the Bloodlines schizo is still at it
You don't have to do this to yourself, bro. Bloodlines 2 is bad, flopped hard, it's over. Your work is done. Just do something that makes you happy for a change.

Post hoc cope you didn't say this shit when I first brought it up.
>Nope, you're a retard is all and you happen to be on my side
No you are just some retarded schizo that has failed to shill a shit game.

See, I keep winning because you're wrong every time you say this. I know you're too insane to realize it, but that doesn't really matter honestly. All that matters is you're wrong and a retard and I'm right so I win. You'll not play this shit game but you'll spend fucking hours here crying about how shit it is. It's sad but hilarious.

>>723884172
u mad

>>723884220
People that are winning don't need to say how much they're winning. Only insecure retards do that because they have nothing else.
> You'll not play this shit game but you'll spend fucking hours here crying about how shit it is. It's sad but hilarious
Not really, I made some faggot that is paid to shill it throw a tantrum. and samefag just to say how totally not mad he is. It doesn't get anymore funny than that. I do this to make your life harder, and you let me because you are too retarded to prevent it.

Loser cope

>I made some faggot that is paid to shill it throw a tantrum
Delusional schizo, as usual.

>I do this to make your life harder
You're brightening my life m8, I'm loving every laugh here.

>you are too retarded to prevent it
I hope that when you die God lays out the truth of my position on this matter so you can see just how wrong you are. As I've said over and over, your insanity will not allow you to see the truth and that is sad but funny.
