Revisiting VtM: Bloodlines

That's exactly the point, she\he is talented, but the (bad) effort she put into the mod went way overboard to the point of making it unbearable.

 

Just stick to writing fanfics. It's safer and less buggier.

 

Has Paradox announced anything on E3? That Werewolf game or Bloodlines sequel? Seems strange that such a big company as Paradox would skip E3.

Edit:
BTW, a couple of days ago UP 10 has been released: http://www.patches-scrolls.de/patch/4647/7/74918/download (that version with even more faggotry)

 

Finally decided to sink time into this game and i have been playing for 5 hours or so so far. And i'm honestly enjoying it, specially the writting.

One of the things i love so far is how computers work in this game. You have to manually type stuff and to me it adds serious immersion.

 

Even writing fanfics these days no longer as safe as in the past. Readers of this type got more sophisticated due to long association and much readings. You just never know when some buggers will jump out and point out the detailed bullshits in your writings.

NO wonder the amateurs run to the game development scenes. Whatever gaping holes their writings have, it can be covered by gameplay and the usual very high level of tolerance around here.

 

Why do most people seem to prefer potence to presence? Potence only seems to give a small increase to damage at the top levels while presence is a fairly strong debuff.

 

Buffs are always more fun than debuffs.

 

Even if you're just looking for something "fun," presence is better. In addition to the straight debuff, you get enemies running away from you and cowering in fear.

 

Naw, debuffing something into the ground and then stomping it is teh funsies.

 

Holy crap, i'm having a blast with this game. The whole Jeanette/Therese story was awesome and i also really liked that haunted house quest.

 

haha, I was 11 when this game got released and the haunted hotel scared the crap out of me. such a great game, brilliant atmosphere. Troika really was something special.

 

Yeah, those are the most memorable characters & atmosphere for sure. Rest of the game is good though, and you're just getting started. I almost finished on my 3rd playthru. I keep finding sidequests and shit that I missed before, so that keeps it interesting even though the story is totally linear. The only major letdowns, as everyone says, are the endgame and the sewer warrens; too much trash combat. The sewers are actually pretty cool other than that.

Makin' me want to play again. Once a year sounds right. Just need to make a character with completely different skills to change up my tactics and dialogue choices.

 

Doesn't Wesp's plus patch allow you to skip major portions of the sewers, hotel, etc.?

 

Yes. That stuff gets boring after you've seen it once or twice. But it gets pretty easy, so wahtever.

 

Every time I replay this game I have this sort of optimistic feeling of "eh... maybe it really isn't all as bad as I remember after Hollywood/when you go into the sewers".

And it always proves me wrong, so very wrong.

 

Reached Chinatown and i think i have an unpopular opinion: i didn't find the sewers to be that bad. I guess because i went there with enough ammo to supply a small army, it made that whole section quite a breeze. Specially because Colt Anaconda just destroys enemies that it almost becomes hilarious.

29 hours in and my overall impressions with the game are very positive.

 

My favorite character in Chinatown is Mr. Ox.

 

The sewers are not nearly as bad as the endgame parts. It's a long, boring dungeon, yes, but the endgame is not one, not two, but three long boring dungeons in sequence, the Kuei Jin temple being the ultimate low point.

I almost side with the asian bitch just to avoid it.

 

Yeah but they are only that on the first playtrough,on replays you can just stop playing when you get to it.

 

Going through it all is worth it, just to get to the ending cutscene and then the badass end credits.

 

Damn I couldn't stand the music in VTMB.

 

You mean the club tracks or the soundtrack in general?

I personally love it all, it's a huge part of the atmosphere. The club music isn't really something I'd listen to on my own, but yeah... it's a perfect fit for the game I think, gave it a real identity.

 

That is some pretty good metal metal mate.

 

It's all just fucking punk edgerock or some form of shitty 2000s electronic. I get that this is the 'aesthetic' that VTM is supposed to have, but I just cannot stand it. The entire game is edgy in overly edgy in general.
