They definitely need to work on character animations a bit more but so far it all looks pretty promising. Looks dope, but also very different to what they presented at the e3 and more in line with the first trailer. Even if it looks like this and plays more fast paced like this Vtm2B had a ton of (mostly technical) issues. Which is somewhat due to them running the game on an early engine, but yeah. So fingers crossed, but I'll remain sceptical until I see late alpha gameplay. | ||

The first part of the game up until the mental institute is nice when you get to discover everything, try to eat the passer by and get familiar with the story lines, back half of the game ossilate between all right and straight up a pain in the ass. The cool persuation skills and sneeking around to suck people dry get left to the side for batteling endless wave of mobs that you need to shot approximatively 10 time each. Special mention toward the sewers and the chinese temple for being especially bad. I was quite exited to see what VTMB2 had to offer, not so much now. | ||

Till towards the end of Hollywood and never further. Its tragic how hard this game falls off a cliff there. | ||

I guess they would've polished it more if they knew how big of a success it will be (after it flopped obviously, when the fan patches started picking up), but hindsight is 20/20. Unfortunately it was released too early and it shows. The later stages of the game are severely underdeveloped but the earlier portions are an absolute masterpiece. I could replay the Santa Monica part over and over and over again and probably never get bored, it is one of the best designed entry zones in game history in my opinion (right along stuff like Guild Wars Pre-Searing starter area, where some people just never even leave to enter the actual game and there are characters who've been there for like 15 years, max level etc. just stayed in tutorial forever). | ||

Troika wasn't offered more funding to finish it and the company went bankrupt before the game was even released. | ||

I liked most of the Chinatown quests and enjoyed sneaking through the museum and thought the combat part in the non-finished skyscraper was fun especially with the fanpatch making the zero wing joke. But yes the game is much much stronger in the non-combat areas because the roleplaying parts are much better than the combat. And it's mostly combat towards the end, especially once the betrayal happens. I hope that part is more enjoyable in VTMB2, but I also hope it doesn't get too crazy since I don't want the game to feel strongly like a power fantasy. Would be nice if most of the vampire abilities have some effect on vampires in the next installation though. | ||

Seeing the amount of content you get in this collector's edition makes me really wonder how expensive it will be. I mean, even the digital V5 PDF rulebook is like $30 alone if you'd like to get it right now and miniatures aren't cheap either (especially if they come painted). Edit: found out all the info. The Collector's Edition of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 will cost $169.99 and only 3000 will be made. According to a press release sent out by Paradox, it's possible to order the Collector's Edition without a copy of the game or the DLC. This will allow people who already pre-ordered the digital version of the game to claim the physical items, which will cost them $109.99. So, no loss even if you already pre-ordered. Source: https://screenrant.com/vampire-the-masquerade-bloodlines-2-collectors-edition-revealed/ I'll be skipping that, already have V5 rulebook in PDF and physical forms and the other items apart from the vinyl aren't as attractive to me. | ||

Hiring a couple good writers and convincing Paradox to let you use the IP isn't going to make what appears to be a B-rate dev studio that's never made a noteworthy game (and in their previous incarnation almost exclusively made shovelware) suddenly turn out a masterpiece. | ||
