This game any good?
Yes.
>>724777189I've started it a week ago (stop spying me you motherfucker)It starts incredibly solid, it gets you interested in the story and the character, then towards the end of Chapter 3 you realize that 90% of the characters don't actually matter and the gameplay will stay the same for the entire game.It is not a bad game, but it's like the most aggressive 3/5 I've ever played.
>>724777189Meh, it's alright. Skill are story locked.
It slipped in from an alternate universe where Dontnod actually made alright AA games instead of Life is Strange 40 times.
It's pretty good but you're going to spend 10 hours talking to irrelevant NPCs who dump their lifestory on you.
I like it. Though Dr Reed should have been gay, the weird gross romance with the empowered short hair feminist who talks non stop about how she wears pants and her black adopted daughter is "a strong independant woman" is lame.The concept of "your ending depends if you're a vegan vampire or if you feed" is somewhat interesting but at the same time... what's the point of being a vampire if you're just gonna be vegan? Let alone it's very inconsistent because you constantly feed around in combat. So i guess you're not so vegan if you're sneaking a fucking burger every mid combat.Combat is alright, some story points are alright. Vampire hunter character is super hot and had a lot of chemistry with the protag but of course Dontnod makes sure to make games about trannies and dykes but never about gay men.
>>724777189Is it my or that cover looks like Zelensky?
>>724777189Yeah, just don't be an anti-social retard
>>724777189No, it could have been good but the pacing is awful, the story doesn't help either.
Did they like forget to put a main antagonist in the game until they were working on the final chapter?
>>724777656t. pederast
>>724777189solid 9/10
>>724777656woke ruined it, I agree
>>724777189Not really. It was made by dontnod so it has shitlib politics everywhere. There's a foid suffragette that stands on the street screaming at you whenever you run by, she's the daughter of your love interest that's forced on you, there's a trump analog that the game all but forces you to kill, etc. Also there's walls keep people divided commentary which is funny because the entire city in game was put in quarantine to prevent a virus from spreading. If you have to play it just pirate the gog version, don't give those woke canucks a cent.
>>724777189That's Margarine Flomen's voice actor.
No, but the aesthetic remains interesting. You are suppose to grind out EXP by waiting so the named NPCs can get sick, so you can cure them. Which you won't do when playing it naturally. Its somewhat subpar.
>>724777656>The concept of "your ending depends if you're a vegan vampire or if you feed" is somewhat interesting but at the same time... what's the point of being a vampire if you're just gonna be vegan? Let alone it's very inconsistent because you constantly feed around in combat. So i guess you're not so vegan if you're sneaking a fucking burger every mid combat.The most stupid thing about it is a lot of the people you kill are vampire hunters who are genuinely needed right now because there's a bit of a vampire epidemic going on. These are noble people risking their lives to fight supernatural creatures that prey on humans but there's no moral consequence to killing untold numbers of them. No, all that matters is if you kill that thieving polack. Kill them and society completely collapses. Kill a million vampire hunters and society has no problems withstanding the vampire epidemic.The district system should have counted combat kills as something that affects the district and who you kill in combat should matter, e.g. kill thugs and things get better, kill vampire hunters and things get worse. That might have actually made stealth a worthwhile thing to do in the game.
>>724777189Its mid at absolute best
>>724781556>You are suppose to grind out EXP by waiting so the named NPCs can get sick, so you can cure them.No.You're supposed to either kill important people for easy level ups or not kill them and have the combat be really hard as a consequence.That being said, I did a completely pacifist playthrough and the combat never got that hard. Because of stupid RPG mechanics like too big a level gap between you and your enemy resulting in you do much reduced damage and they do much increased damage they had to make it so that you can actually beat the game with a fairly low level. So it's less "The game is really hard if you don't kill people to level up" and more "The game is stupid easy if you kill people to level up".
>>724782151>No.Yes.The level gap is only brutal if you don't ever rest to advance time. If you do, there is a shitload of EXP to be had.Same with letting the NPCs get sick, so you can cure the higher variants of the diseases for more EXP
>>724782247Did you miss the part where I said I did a completely pacifist playthrough and didn't grind exp and still beat the game without much trouble? I even finished the game with a bunch of skill points I never bothered allocating because most of them are gimmicks and aren't really needed to beat the game. It's like souls where being able to do the basic moves of combat and having a decent weapon matters more than leveling up.
>>724782247>>724782151The game's piss fucking easy, you shitlords. The XP you gain by maxing out the NPC dossiers is pretty much all the XP you need. Fun fact: the endboss actually gets harder the more people you fed on.
>>724782494>Fun fact: the endboss actually gets harder the more people you fed on.It's level scaled.
>>724777189Nothing special really, the areas are all very similar to each other and the combat was ass, I don't remember any of the characters names, I barely remember anything about the protagonist and I finished the game and did pretty much all of the side quests too. That being said, this is one of the very few Vampire rpg games out there, so if you like vampires, it's either this or VTMB.
>>724782482>or not kill them and have the combat be really hard as a consequence.LookI am quoting that part, because the game pussied out of doing that.You always had the option of grinding via doing medical stuff in the game.
>>724782665>You always had the option of grinding via doing medical stuff in the game.Technically yes. But it would make for a very boring playthrough. You don't get a lot of exp from curing people and sickness is random. You just don't need to bother.
>>724777189better than vtmb2
>>724782768What I am getting is that you didn't interact with the system, and you don't understand how it scales.And since the game only force you to advance time like 3 times, why would anybody figure it out?
Better than Shitlines 2
>>724777189no. not really
>>724782881>What I am getting is that you didn't interact with the system, and you don't understand how it scales.I used it. I cured everyone whenever there was someone sick. But I just wasn't being challenged by the game despite doing a completely pacifist playthough so I never felt the need to grind that shit. And it would be a lot slower than just drinking blood. As I recall drinking blood nets you somewhere between 20 to 30 times the exp you get from curing. I can't even imagine how boring the game would be if you're trying to keep up with a bad playthrough by grinding cures.
>>724783076>I cured everyone whenever there was someone sick.See?You didn't.You are suppose to wait so everyone gets sick, and then you go a round curing the higher level diseases. Which is only really viable once you unlock enough NPCs that the chances of making the rounds are extensive enough to catch up on the EXP>bad playthrough by grinding cures.You only need to do it like twice or thrice once you unlocked most of the NPCs
>>724777656>The concept of "your ending depends if you're a vegan vampire or if you feed" is somewhat interesting but at the same time... what's the point of being a vampire if you're just gonna be vegan? Let alone it's very inconsistent because you constantly feed around in combat. So i guess you're not so vegan if you're sneaking a fucking burger every mid combat.i wish the game was more like dishonored. it sort of has a similar morality system in place, even to the point of it affecting gameplay through how much of a plague spreads through the city. but the level design was kind of garbanzo beans, felt like there should have been more stealth capabilities and intricate level design rather than mostly linear dungeons/combat areas where you get into forced combat encounters that are a poor-man's facsimile of souls combat. had they made the level and encounter design a little bit closer to dishonored and maybe had a little bit more variety in the enemies, it could have been a great game. but as it stands, it is barely even scraping mediocre.
>>724783239Not really. People getting sick depends on you passing the night, which happens when you level up. If you're playing pacifist or just smart about it you want to minimize the number of level ups aka doing everything in a single go.
>>724783239So I looked it up and you would need to 60 cures for it to be equivalent to one low level kill. There is no extra exp for waiting for the more serious disease. It just means you need to use harder to obtain shit to cure them. Also, cures aren't free so you have to grind for that shit too. For it to be equivalent to a mid level kill it's about 120 cures. For it to be equivalent to a high level kill it would be over 200 cures. This is a really fucking boring way to play the game. You would have to be a complete fucking moron to play this way because none of it is even necessary. You can easily beat the game without killing anyone ever and curing is definitely optional.
>>724777296>gameplay will stay the same for the entire game.I always find this a bizarre complaint. What do you expect? Game to do a genre switch at some point?
>>724783654>You need 60-120 cures to catch up to the games intended level curve of diablizing one NPC to give you the mid ending>THATS INSANE!11!!1!!!Pick one
>>724779304/pol/ has rotted your brain.
>>724783750lmao you're so proud of your closed mindedness.plenty of games chage things up with some kind of movement ability or something like that so the player isn't bored to tears by the end
>>724783814>to the games intended level curveBut it's not.I don't how many times I have to say it but I beat the game without ever killing anyone and without grinding cures at all without much trouble. It's not a hard game. The devs absolutely intended for you to be able to get through with a pacifist playthrough. They designed the game around you being able to beat it with a pacifist playthrough. A non-pacifisct playthrough just makes it stupid easy as opposed to just easy. How bad are you at video games that Vampyr was so hard for you that you needed to do the worlds most stupid grind?
>>724777189Solid. Make sure you have all your bases covered with damage types.
>>724784027If a game bores me I'll stop playing it. You're the weirdo here, anon.
>>724777398>you're going to spend 10 hours talking to irrelevant NPCs who dump their lifestory on youare their life stories at least interesting?
>>724784239No, not really. It's just an endless stream of "woe is me". You can tell Don't Nod is French because they made out like living in England is absolute misery for everyone.
>>724784571Not wrong though.
>>724784239Some do. The game basically has a mechanic where an NPCs blood becomes more nourishing to you when you figure out their lore.Problem is that entire mechanic becomes unrewarding when you do a pacifist run since you don't drink their blood.But the aesthetics and vibes of the game are peak, voiceacting decent and combat is...servicable i guess.
>>724784638If England is so awful and France is so great then why do all the illegal immigrants leave France for England as soon as they can?
>>724784964The UK benefit system is more generous
>>724784964Why do you have to ruin the eternal anglo frog banter with this shit, man, get help.
>>724784964The got rejected by the EU but thanks to Brexit they get a second try in Britain. Well done for that btw retards.
>>724777189The most 6/10 game ever, not bad but nothing special.
>>724784964France found out the hard way that if you do enough gibs, you will get a flood of people fromt he colonies, and not just the Masters and PHDs to longterm braindrain them.
Has anyone tried it on switch 2? The switch port was awful
>>724784964greater number of goat fuckers in england and more madarsas in england, and you don't need to speak french.
>>724777189>This game any good?Watched a full play through on yt a long time ago, but iirc, yes. It's a good game with good mechanics and story. At least it kept my attention to watch it start to finish.
>>724779304agreed brother. ignore the tranny seething at you, thats all they can impotently do
>>724777189I like the game. Really janky but fun.
>>724782786not exactly a big achievement...
