Vampyr - vampire action-RPG from Life Is Strange devs

[mondblut]

Can we finally romance a Nosferatu?

Only of the same sex and a different race, I reckon.

 

[Life of the Party]

I had only one pillar survive and I also killed a few citizens once they turned hostile thanks to a choice I made.

However, I never fed on anyone and voted Hillary and so got the best ending.

That leads to a sub-optimal build. Where is the minmax in that?

The universe just shrank a little from the pure suckage...

 

[Durian Eater]

The main difference between final endings is based on the number of people you embrace (besides enemies in combat)

So if you kill a citizen you actually embrace them? Because the enemies in combat just seem to die...

"Embrace" in Vampyr parlance just means kill. It doesn't mean turning them into a vampire a la VtM.

 

[Santander02]

Oh, life strange devs, that explains the drama, well at least I know what to expect, but it will only be worth it if it is as fun as bloodlines.

Is it as fun as bloodlines?

It's more competent action rpg but I don't think they varied up the gameplay too much.
The flow is always the same - go to a district (usually have to clear trash to make it) - settle stuff - boss fight - make a choice.
Side quests aren't that great - there are some decent twists in the writing - but you can ignore NPCs and don't miss too much.
Itemization is pr. bad.
Abilities limited to 4 active slots.
The more you rest to spend EXP on level ups, the more tedium the game throws at you (npc get sick, needs medication, trash respawn)

Paused teh gaem for a while and don't remember how ze actual fuck I give a potion to sick people.
I remember from the throat guy I have to press some special button, right?
But when I talk to someone with an illness and hammer all buttons like a maniac, nothing happens.
(I have the necessary potion btw.)

[Joni Odin von Hassenstein]

Pressing E it was indeed. Thanks!

Now there is this sidequest where I should get three ingredients and make some placebo potion for one of the doctors.
I think I have all ingredients, but when I interact with ze potion table there seems to be no corresponding Option!? Am I missing something?

It's not the same table. Check the other table next to the plant.

Nice, they responded within a couple weeks to console control issues annoying PC players, something Arkane hasn't figured out for years.

 

[Life of the Party]

Walk can now be used as a held input or a toggled input.

i like the game

 

[Adon]

Vampyr was alright for what it is, but eventually talking to NPCs got old; especially when you realize unlocking hints only serves the purpose of increasing the amount of XP you get if you mesmerize them. No resolving any issues or doubts that these characters are having. Worst of all, I found no reason to ever mesmerize anyone so that's a a wasted mechanic with no real purpose other than making the (dull) combat easier. It is a nice touch, tho, to make the game harder on people wanting to avoid mesmerizing anyone as if to mirror the struggle of a vampire who's depriving themselves of drinking blood -- being weaker as a result. I only slept a handful of times, and with the way that works, you really want to sleep as little as possible lest you want everyone to die from getting sick, or you want to be making trips to every district to heal them.

I did enjoy some of the boss fights, but regular trash mobs got tiresome to the point that near the end I just started running away from everyone.

 

[Belegarsson]

8.3gb patch available, mostly technical fixes.

I just reached the part where Jonathan goes to his family's house's section and it's been such a drag for me. Should I continue? Does the game get better from there?

I think everyone is doing that towards the end.

You know the answer: No.

 

[Herald of Durance]

I thought I'd give it a try. It managed to make me raise an eyebrow in the first five minutes. I'm in the warehouse, cops all around me. I try to run, since I'm a doctor, not a fighter. And killing cops is generally a bad idea, right? There doesn't seem to be any escape. Well it turns out I have to kill the cops for a door to open. For no reason at all. Great job! Let's hope it gets better.

 

[Plisken]

changed my mind, this game kind of stinks

at ~20 hours i started finding myself wanting to skip dialogue and avoid talking to another boring cunt, which is always a bad sign for a story driven rpg. Its an even worse sign for this game in particular since at least 95% of the game is talking to boring cunts.

They are not cops. They are a street roaming militia of vampire hunters.

Haven't played Prey yet but Dishonored 1 and 2 are some of the better PC ports I've played. What exactly bugs you about them?
