Not going to happen. The longer a game is in development past like 3 years the worse it is going to be. If they just released the dev tools and what they have done now, i am sure the fans would finish making the game and it would end up better than what they might eventually release.
All the Nosferatu fun in this game come from their dialogues and how because they're tired of being insulted all the time they roast every single character they otherwise would have an option to seduce. That and their obfuscation powers made them great for stealth playthroughs.
The malkavians have obfuscate which is what i always play as and the one malkavian abilty the one that turns enemys crazy is great if you need to distract for a stealth kill
Playing Nosferatu was the most fun I've had playing this game, and that's the first clan I've ever played. Kinda wanna try a Malkavian run one of these days too.
i honestly have never played the game as anything other than nosferatu they look cool and have amazing dialogue + i like stealth playthroughs. i know some people complain about not being able to do certain quests but as far as i know no quest is locked off just some ways to complete quests are locked off but they usually have an alternative that leads to the same result anyway.
Absolutely adore the dialogue in this game. Malkavian class have one of the most fun dialogue, ability and interaction in this game. Thanks for unlocking a memory core of me enjoying this game back in the 2000's
A Malk player-character also realizes who the taxi driver is if her "Dementation" skill is high enough. Which is the best dialogue skill that's ever existed in any RPG ever, btw. Imo, a Malk is the only proper way to play VtM: Bloodlines.
This game is pure jank with its bugs, rough combat, and a rushed finale, but man it's one of my all-time favorites. I love the character writing, art design, and atmosphere, just as much as I hated the obligatory sewer level.
I have beaten the game a Nosferatu. A *lot* of things are wrong with me. Too many to list. After a while, you just sorta get a sixth sense about where to go in the sewers.
The nosferatu run is interesting in how it reshapes everything into a stealth run, but I feel like it's only playable after you've won the game several times and already know what characters you're supposed to talk to. Otherwise I have no idea how you'd tell the difference between merchants, quest-givers, and normal NPCs you're not allowed to let yourself be seen by.
Discovered you about 4 months ago and have watched through everything you've posted. So funny man. Clicked on this quicker than roadrunner. Keep up the good work man!
@@Lankyblankman yeah found myself coming around to rewatching vids already. Big gamer but i have no interest in streamers/twitch etc, find it cringy. But pongsifu's hilariously honest (and also somewhat hapless) playthroughs hit the spot
“You can shape-shift into anything you want, and *this* is the form you picked?” Well of course, dude; she’s Chinese so obviously she picked the form of a tentacle monster. No. Wait. …that’s another Japanese thing.
IIRC the lore Kuei-jin don't actually get to pick their Beast Mode looks and just have to make do with whatever their subconscious puked up or something so it's kind of a crapshoot. Given their literally-crawled-out-of-Hell background the nasty kind of irony is a frequent occurrence.
yes thats an ingame mechanic to not use supernatural stuff in places where normal humans can see you or else they go and like scream vampires are real, if you break the masquerade 5 times the game kills you by starting a bloodhunt on you. its actually a fun game over where you can fight back lol.
Best dialogue, voice acting and facial expressions of any game to be honest. Modern AAA games DECADES later still can't compete and fuck up facial animations during dialogue all the time.
@@coneberry6905 true I personally believe "saving" the serious "sister" is a good ending. She's clearly a person so traumatised by her past events, that she developed a second personality to deal with it- if this status quo is allowed to last, or her delusional personality takes full reins, her mental state will never get better- she needs to let go of her past, throw away her father's painting and understand it's not her sister, it's all her- and she must come to terms with her sister's death. If you allow her delusional side to take over, things will get even worse- she'll, as seen in her dialogue, constantly shift between quircky personality fans love and complete loneliness and misery. This is what I got on my first playthrought, and I felt horrible about causing it. So yeah, my opinion changed since I've written this comment. Compared to death of her serious side, this is still a good ending- but one that leaves the main problem unresolved. Unless... now that I think about it, once her two personalities come to terms, she's no longer shifting between them- she's always herself, just keeping two faces at the same time, so they might merge together eventually- that's recovery, rather than status quo. What a great game, I can't decide which option is the best after all.
@@starhalv2427 Having a split personality is very tame for malkavian standards. I still think killing half of her personality for the sake of "balance" is comparable to a lobotomy. Yeah, you're not as moody anymore, but at what cost?
Glad to see you playing this treasure of a game, Pongsifu. And hilarious video as always. Though, I thought you’d be more of a Toreador type, but then again…no one can resist the goth chads Tremeres. I’d love to see you play Fallout New Vegas next, or any game really that’s full of meme-able moments. That wouldn’t be much of a problem since you can make any game entertaining to watch :)
@@Pongsifu Damn, that is some serious dedication. And yeah, tbh I'd probably skip F3 as well. Story and lore wise, it's easily a pass (no offence to F3 lovers, I do love the game...but FNV handles the comedic and serious tones better). Though the mod @Shorewall suggested is pretty good as well since F3 does have its moments. Now I can't wait to watch your video on F2 and FNV :)
Love your humour! Cracks me up every time. Your transition to the outro is on point every time as well. I keep meaning to find out what the outro song is but it is kind of nice to only hear it in Pongsifu videos. Gives me goose bumps when the transition comes. You manage to make it feel like an epic coming to end. Like finishing a good movie or good book.
Overall, you just made me spend 22 minutes and 9 seconds laughing at a game I love. I was not expecting this today. Loved the Saren death theme, btw; nice touch among many others.
Thanks for adding subtitles in your videos. I like to watch youtube stuff on my phone while my wife sleeps next to me and the subtitles allow me to keep the volume way down. Love your stuff!
Only rewatching the video after 2 months i noticed the screen at 7:34 showing a tease to the fallout video. Your videos are truly gems to age like a fine wine.
5:01 The Mass Effect critical mission failure music with the dead body, really made that better. Call of the Night! That anime looks really interesting. Thank you for listing where stuff comes from. This part is so well done, really great editing. 10:39
I played as in Nosferatu and I disregarded the rules about traveling through sewers and walked straight into a diner, and old lady saw and had a heart attack and died. It was funniest shit ever!
My first playthrough was a blind one, I picked Nosferatu. Did the entire game with a stealth/melee build and saw a LOT of sewers. I didn't know how much dialogue I missed until I replayed it.
I am instantly realizing how much dialogue I'm missing doing this, haha. Also I'm not so sure the sewers are that necessary despite Bender's assertions. You have to be practically an arm's length away from these humans for them to even care.
Also, that's a common misconception: A MAZE has usually only one correct path to an exit from a start, whereas a LABYRINTH has only one, SUUUUUPER long and winding path.
Wow, this was an unexpected treat! Two of my favourite things, Pongsifu and VTM: Bloodlines, rolled into one? Clickety click I have played a Nossie and enjoyed :D People don't bother you all that much, especially in Hollywood. There, they even compliment you on your body modification feats. But the insults received elsewhere are great too. The Sheriff: maybe he had a bit of werewolf blood from Twilight and got allergic to shirts halfway through dinner. Tragic
As a fun of old shitty video games i had heard about this game for years but never played it or watched a video on it. However after watching this video when it first dropped it finally inspired me to pick it up on GOG because it came with the basic fan patch. It instantly became one of my all time favorite games. 11/10 would recommend
Goddamnit, man! This was hilarious! I was just replaying this game for the millionth time, and it still holds-ish. Good vid! PS: I only play as Nosferatu. You don't really have to hide that much. Just walk a distance away from people and you can waltz right down the streets like everyone else.
I kinda wish they had made the Nosferatu play more differently than the other clans. I get the feeling that was intended, like everything else didn't get fully fleshed out because of the development hell
Therese: "They're perfectly harmless." Clearly Therese is _not_ down with Vampire: The Masquerade's sister game, Wraith: The Oblivion. You know how vampires have Disciplines? Wraiths have Arcanoi, and maybe half of those Arcanoi are all about fucking with people, vampires, werewolves and other inhabitants of the Skinlands (the world of the living, if you will). Embody? You can go all 'Ghostbusters' by manifesting fully in the Skinlands, scaring the shit out of them and smacking them around (while opening yourself to their attacks in return, alas). Outrage? Yeah, remember that scene in 'Ghost' where Patrick Swayze's smacking his murderer Eddie around the apartment, slamming doors and shit into him, throwing things at him (like Ed the evil wraith in Bloodlines here does) and shoving him down the stairs, and Eddie still can't see him or do a damned thing to him? Outrage is like that. Inhabit? You possess machinery and electronics, which you can use to send messages (like turning on a TV and putting yourself on the screen...even if the TV's unplugged) or kick people's asses (like steering their car off a cliff or using an animatronic as a new body and moving it around, Freddy Fazbear style). Puppetry? Now you're possessing _people,_ and the weaker their willpower, the less they resist, so you can hijack one of their weak-willed flunkies and make him shoot his boss in the head. Pandemonium? You get to recreate the 'Poltergeist' movies! Fun, fun, fun! Keening? You can start singing or playing music that people in the Skinlands can hear, and you use that music to alter people's emotions...and yes, fear, rage and panic are still valid emotions. Max out your Keening and you basically become a banshee. And Phantasm? Well, you have to wait until they're asleep, _then_ you can jump into their dreams and make like Freddy Krueger. On top of that, you can take Embody and combine it with _other_ Arcanoi to wreck people in _even more_ ways. Embody + Moliate? You can make like 'Beetlejuice,' manifest, turn your hands into huge carnival mallets or Freddy Krueger finger blades and lay into people _that_ way. Embody + Intimation? "Hey, you know what you should do now? Stick the muzzle of that revolver in your mouth and squeeze the trigger! I bet it's not even loaded!" Embody + Flux? "Nice longsword. Mind if I make it immediately crumble to useless rust right there in your hand?" Embody + Usury? "I just stole all of your Willpower, all of your Blood Pool/Rage/Quintessence/other fuel for your supernatural powers _and_ a few of your Health Levels. Now the _real_ fun begins!" Embody + Fatalism? "It looks like you're scheduled to die from a sudden heart attack on August 10, 2055. Let's see if I can bump that date up a bit...." Embody + Mnemosynis? Send them on a one-way ticket to Amnesia City, then stick those stolen memories in their worst enemy's brain for bonus style points! But like how the vampires have the Masquerade, the wraiths have the Dictum Mortuum, which specifically outlaws wraiths who fuck around with mortals in any way...like, even in _good_ ways, like saving some mortal's life when they're fated to die. So while you _can_ mess with mortals, _don't_ get caught by the wrong wraiths, or you can look forward to getting Soulforged and being forced to spend eternity as some ancient wraith's wingback chair or whatever. Fortunately, not-quite-mortals - like vampires, werewolves, changelings, et al - aren't covered by the Dictum Mortuum and are fair game...but some of _them_ have some very powerful friends who can wreck _you_ just as hard. In summation, 'harmless,' my ass!
I'm just depressed that they dropped the writer from the original game for some reason. That was the main reason I was holding out hope the sequel regardless of any other jank going on in development.
Honestly when he got to the haunted house I thought he'd be like me: ripping on this game for being old, then one and a half solid hours of brely intelligible pants shitting.
Pong, I've been following you for a long, long time. But starting the video off with Angel makes me love you. Nothing screams 90's vampire goth more than Mezzanine.
dammit he miss the monster fight in Chinatown, you team up with katana wilding girl with a robot arm. you can even make a tentacle monster joke in the final dialog
@@Pongsifu yea man its wild, there is also a weird quest that involves an npc that use to be a dude but got soul transfer to a girls body. and there is also a fight with a stone gargoyle with a giant blade that was harder than the final boss, oh and the hole depending on your clan questlines they added in the non oficial patch i think.
@@jesusgasperi123456 The dude who became a girl ate his own body after he rose from the dead in her body after they died together from some spiked drugs. God I love this game and the community around it
Helpful tip: You can actually kill the werewolf, but it takes a lot of finesse. Here’s how you do it: activate the power in the shack behind the observatory, run inside, go up the metal stairs, pull the lever to open up what appears to be 2 cement doors or columns behind that lever, and then just basically try to lure the werewolf through there, and right when he’s trying to get in through that opening, close that shit, but you have to time it right, or he’ll either stay outside, or worse, get inside without getting killed.
It might be added by the unofficial patch or clan quest mod, but you can also kill it with conventional weapons. It's just really really really hard. Really
@@BL4CK-L1ST Oh yea, that is definitely the easier way to do it, I was just pointing out that it can be done. I think it might have been invulnerable (except for the scripted death with the door) in the base game, it's been a while since I played without patches and mods.
I recommend you give bloodborne a try next, the game is really good and the story is beautiful as well as the environment, I think you'll have a blast.
@@CognizantCheddar to be fair we didn't get a PS4 pro version of GTA V but now we got E&E so anythings possible. what I don't understand is dark souls 3 got a 60 FPS update without needing a PS5 upgrade.
@@CognizantCheddar Yeah I doubt it will be a free patch at this point, they'll monetize it somehow by either being a PC port or console remaster/remake.

All the Nosferatu fun in this game come from their dialogues and how because they're tired of being insulted all the time they roast every single character they otherwise would have an option to seduce. That and their obfuscation powers made them great for stealth playthroughs.
Fat Larry's reaction to meeting a Nosferatu about had me in tears the first time I saw it.
The malkavians have obfuscate which is what i always play as and the one malkavian abilty the one that turns enemys crazy is great if you need to distract for a stealth kill

Clearly Therese is _not_ down with Vampire: The Masquerade's sister game, Wraith: The Oblivion. You know how vampires have Disciplines? Wraiths have Arcanoi, and maybe half of those Arcanoi are all about fucking with people, vampires, werewolves and other inhabitants of the Skinlands (the world of the living, if you will). Embody? You can go all 'Ghostbusters' by manifesting fully in the Skinlands, scaring the shit out of them and smacking them around (while opening yourself to their attacks in return, alas). Outrage? Yeah, remember that scene in 'Ghost' where Patrick Swayze's smacking his murderer Eddie around the apartment, slamming doors and shit into him, throwing things at him (like Ed the evil wraith in Bloodlines here does) and shoving him down the stairs, and Eddie still can't see him or do a damned thing to him? Outrage is like that. Inhabit? You possess machinery and electronics, which you can use to send messages (like turning on a TV and putting yourself on the screen...even if the TV's unplugged) or kick people's asses (like steering their car off a cliff or using an animatronic as a new body and moving it around, Freddy Fazbear style). Puppetry? Now you're possessing _people,_ and the weaker their willpower, the less they resist, so you can hijack one of their weak-willed flunkies and make him shoot his boss in the head. Pandemonium? You get to recreate the 'Poltergeist' movies! Fun, fun, fun! Keening? You can start singing or playing music that people in the Skinlands can hear, and you use that music to alter people's emotions...and yes, fear, rage and panic are still valid emotions. Max out your Keening and you basically become a banshee. And Phantasm? Well, you have to wait until they're asleep, _then_ you can jump into their dreams and make like Freddy Krueger.
On top of that, you can take Embody and combine it with _other_ Arcanoi to wreck people in _even more_ ways. Embody + Moliate? You can make like 'Beetlejuice,' manifest, turn your hands into huge carnival mallets or Freddy Krueger finger blades and lay into people _that_ way. Embody + Intimation? "Hey, you know what you should do now? Stick the muzzle of that revolver in your mouth and squeeze the trigger! I bet it's not even loaded!" Embody + Flux? "Nice longsword. Mind if I make it immediately crumble to useless rust right there in your hand?" Embody + Usury? "I just stole all of your Willpower, all of your Blood Pool/Rage/Quintessence/other fuel for your supernatural powers _and_ a few of your Health Levels. Now the _real_ fun begins!" Embody + Fatalism? "It looks like you're scheduled to die from a sudden heart attack on August 10, 2055. Let's see if I can bump that date up a bit...." Embody + Mnemosynis? Send them on a one-way ticket to Amnesia City, then stick those stolen memories in their worst enemy's brain for bonus style points!
But like how the vampires have the Masquerade, the wraiths have the Dictum Mortuum, which specifically outlaws wraiths who fuck around with mortals in any way...like, even in _good_ ways, like saving some mortal's life when they're fated to die. So while you _can_ mess with mortals, _don't_ get caught by the wrong wraiths, or you can look forward to getting Soulforged and being forced to spend eternity as some ancient wraith's wingback chair or whatever. Fortunately, not-quite-mortals - like vampires, werewolves, changelings, et al - aren't covered by the Dictum Mortuum and are fair game...but some of _them_ have some very powerful friends who can wreck _you_ just as hard.
In summation, 'harmless,' my ass!
Jiub talking about computers made my day
Cieling vampire almost made me spit my drink on my phonne
Amazing!
Another old game you might enjoy would be "The Mystery of the Druids", it's just flat out crazy xD
"If you ever wanna set them gay. I will be right here or here or on the desk." Yeah, I felt that.
I shit you not, just yesterday I thought "Pongsifu should do a vtmb playthrough, the game's a perfect fit for his channel" and lo and behold...
The mod to skip the damn sewers is vital.

I'm a clown with a prepurchase of the second game. Wonder if it ever comes out.
I'm just depressed that they dropped the writer from the original game for some reason. That was the main reason I was holding out hope the sequel regardless of any other jank going on in development.
I have backed System Shock remake, I feel you.
They later released bloodhunt which is what the game end up to be.
One of my favorite TH-camrs playing my all time favorite game. I have been blessed this day.
Coincidentally enough, I just watched a joke about a dude pissing so much and so loudly, the other interlocutor asks him if he was frying chicken.
Jesus christ... when the werewolf broke down the wall when you hid in the bathroom, took me off guard watching it... xD I jumped in my chair...
8:55 That one got me good, haha!
me:* patiently waiting for the new vampire: the masquerade game*
By far the funniest horvy man I have seen on TH-cam. Glad to have found and subbed
Gotta say this video had very spooky timing, because 2 days ago I randomly decided to buy and play this, and here you are uploading a video on it.
Honestly when he got to the haunted house I thought he'd be like me: ripping on this game for being old, then one and a half solid hours of brely intelligible pants shitting.
Idk why the puppet edit at 17:00 was the one that broke me. I love your edits.
Hey now. The ghosts are harmless. The pots and pans they hurl at you, however....
I have never expected to see Pocho Lavezzi in one of your videos 😂. 10/10
When Pongisfu drops I listen. Simple.
Tucker saying KYS is pretty great meme
Blood magick makes this so much easier.
Things I say every day at work.
i really enjoy your videos Pongsifu, never change
I genuinely did not expect this tbh,
But hey,now I can enjoy watching a pongsifu video about a game i never heard about
For anyone who hasn't actually played this game, the actual ending is equally incomprehensible. And you should probably play it.
Well, that was a great time. Made my day better
Pong, I've been following you for a long, long time. But starting the video off with Angel makes me love you. Nothing screams 90's vampire goth more than Mezzanine.
"E is talk, it's also apparently execute with a katana." Well I mean we did establish that it's Chinatown, I've seen movies.
Don't! Open it!
The fortune teller by the beach try to warn us xD
dammit he miss the monster fight in Chinatown, you team up with katana wilding girl with a robot arm.
you can even make a tentacle monster joke in the final dialog
WHAT?
@@Pongsifu yea man its wild, there is also a weird quest that involves an npc that use to be a dude but got soul transfer to a girls body. and there is also a fight with a stone gargoyle with a giant blade that was harder than the final boss, oh and the hole depending on your clan questlines they added in the non oficial patch i think.
@@jesusgasperi123456 The dude who became a girl ate his own body after he rose from the dead in her body after they died together from some spiked drugs. God I love this game and the community around it
Boy they sure don't make games like that anymore.
You playing this game was long overdue.
Also caught the meme template you used for the thumbnail 😂
Why are you wearing sunglasses indoors?
"My vision is augmented."
-Vampire the Massachusetts
coming back from playing this game for three routes makes it that much sweeter
When I was 13 playing this game - hotel ghost mission was literally the scariest shit ever.
I've been ready for this video. I got my chips and Madeleines, everything, my enema, everything i tell you.
5:15 Yup... step into the back of the diner and BAM! Dead... by pistols. Umm...
Missed a Kevin Malone opportunity with the mummies line
okay but I need a copy of the lil nosferatu spinning outta the sewer that's fuckin class

0:56 You can pick up that hand and use it as a weapon. It's pretty handy.
12:01 funny that you mention that when LA is one of the few cities in the US with a Little Tokyo
Hell yeah new video, always love watching your stuff dude.
Helpful tip: You can actually kill the werewolf, but it takes a lot of finesse. Here’s how you do it: activate the power in the shack behind the observatory, run inside, go up the metal stairs, pull the lever to open up what appears to be 2 cement doors or columns behind that lever, and then just basically try to lure the werewolf through there, and right when he’s trying to get in through that opening, close that shit, but you have to time it right, or he’ll either stay outside, or worse, get inside without getting killed.
It might be added by the unofficial patch or clan quest mod, but you can also kill it with conventional weapons. It's just really really really hard. Really
@@moonunit7417 Don’t know about the conventional weapons, but you’re better off trying to kill it with the way I said.
@@BL4CK-L1ST Oh yea, that is definitely the easier way to do it, I was just pointing out that it can be done. I think it might have been invulnerable (except for the scripted death with the door) in the base game, it's been a while since I played without patches and mods.
i recently discovered your videos, super funny stuff man, keep up the good work
I recommend you give bloodborne a try next, the game is really good and the story is beautiful as well as the environment, I think you'll have a blast.
Bloodborne is the game I want to play the most but I've already waited this long so I'm stubbornly waiting on a 60FPS release or remake.
@@Pongsifu I feel you, but I doubt a 60fps patch for the PS5 is ever happening because BB never even got a PS4 Pro patch.
@@Pongsifu trust me lol we all want that 60 fps version and I hope they release it soon, if they have to just launch it on PC 😭
@@CognizantCheddar to be fair we didn't get a PS4 pro version of GTA V but now we got E&E so anythings possible. what I don't understand is dark souls 3 got a 60 FPS update without needing a PS5 upgrade.
@@CognizantCheddar Yeah I doubt it will be a free patch at this point, they'll monetize it somehow by either being a PC port or console remaster/remake.
Damn this game reminds me so much of my High School years in the early 2000s with all the weird emo and goth kids.
Can't wait for the 20th anniversary
It's really a rare moment when a 20 year old game makes a meme joke with the Kool-aid man part and it's still be good and well known
19:48 well...she is Chinese
Fuck it. You and Sseth making videos on this on top of me going on a Deus Ex binge has me convinced to play this, or at least try it. Need me more RPG/immersive sim games.
Should have pulled a master Jiraiya for your older self and wrote a coded message on a toad that she’s multiple people
Ouhyes man hellyes i needed you so hard to make a vid on these games hahaha. Man i srsly love you and all of your content. Your mate from baldur (for example) is also such an awesome character 🙏🏻
