    Why am I here? Because I am dissapointed about new information for Bloodlines 2 and need to remind myself what made Bloodlines so great.

      Yeah, doesnt seem like the devs (and publisher) dont even remotely get why Bloodlines is so beloved. Probably just gonna be another cashgrab... Thats the gaming business for you nowadays. Its all about the money.

      ​@@muchossaugus9927You are right. The vtmb2 train wreck is the result of the deliberate actions of companies that don't care about their customers. Sad times...

      I feel like most CRPGs of late have lost their way of recently. The streamlining of the experience was the opposite of what made them great. The many choices of dialogue,the skill checks and the varied playstyles you can do just to mess around.

      ⁠@@ZX-GearDisagree, I can't think of a CRPG of late that missed the mark. Pathfinder (both), BG3, the aussie-Fallout demo, all were great. Not sure what you're on about.

    It goes without saying that the devs of this game and pretty much everything Troika made was gold and they were passionate and talented at their art it is just a damn shame that corporations had to ruin them.
    That said them working without pay to try and fix the game before shutting down shows you how much they cared about the game and you can also see that passion in WESP5 who has been for years working on not only fixing the bugs but also adding in many things that were only partially done so he deserves a lot of recognition as well for all the tireless work he has done for the game.

    I'm always there for a Masquerade review. This game is so good. I doubt the sequel will be able to live up to this. Not because I'm bias but the story,dialogue\choices are just so good. It still holds that gritty,gothic 2005 setting to it which I just love.

    The hotel mission remains one of the most memorable missions for any game, up til today. First time I played it was at night. Holy crap, it scared the be jeezus out of me. I actually had to take 30 minute break before resuming.

    This game is always my first to install on a new system (alongside with Heroes 3, but I digress). I love the tabletop RPG, it gave me and my brother and friends so many sleepless, adventure filled nights (Revised 2nd edition FTW).
    It is unfortunate that game is an absolute messy masterpiece and not a flawless masterpiece. It is a huge heartbreak that the game did not get the extra 6 months it needed and was actually scheduled for originally. I am still glad for the hardworking, crunching, blood-seating people who worked hard despite all difficulties. I am probably on my 30th playthrough and I still can't get bored. That captivating dark magic is still there at it will be there always. I just wish I could turn into a vampire, don't age, and play this game till Gehenna comes.

    Troika may have been given the engine from the start, but they were given a weird beta version that was constantly updated. It was an extremely difficult technical challenge, it's amazing we got it at all.

    After doing like 8 playthroughs, I can say that I actually enjoy the combat, if you build your character around the disciplines it gets silly. Punching people into the air when suing celerity is silly fun and abusing obfuscate to kill everyone is really fun, even if it gets too easy, it is a great power fantasy style of gameplay.

      I keep hearing over and over how bad the combat is, but I don't think I've ever heard a real reason why, it's just stated as a fact. What perplexes me even more is the complaint that there is any combat in the game at all. What do people expect from a video game?

      @@patximartel I've never used firearms myself, I find that melee is superior, so I guess maybe that's a fair point. But as far as I can tell, it's mostly the early guns that suck, which makes sense. Why is button mashing a bad thing though? It's an RPG, so it makes sense that your character's stats would be the determining factor in combat outcomes. I find the simplicity refreshing, but I guess for some reason it turns a lot of people off.

    Good video, the only nitpick I have with it is that you call Bloodlines an immersive sim, which it's not. Immersive sim is not even a game genre. Contrary to popular belief, it has little to do with having multiple approaches to a problem. Immersive sim are active and reactive system elements from which emergent gameplay and unscripted interactions are born from thanks to player creativity. Games with well-done immersive sim elements would be Prey 2017, BG3, Divinity Original Sin 1&2, and Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. For example, packing a chest full of heavy items in DivOS and then using telekinesis to drop it on a boss because weight is 1:1 with physical damage is a perfect example of utilizing immersive sim logic.

    Where are the developers, and by that I mean the very people who developed the first Bloodlines. Paradox should hire them as soon as possible. The story of the first game was awesome. Also, the being able to choose your clan and gender...I mean, come on. What could be more in the spirit of the times than being able to freely choose your gender. ^^
