World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 from Hardsuit Labs

[Semiurge]

They will deliver a mega turd, so at least on par with Outer Worlds.

At this point they'd better deliver a mega turd rather than lukewarm diarrhea. If they deliver, it will serve as a warning to future generations and as cornucopia of entertainment. If they won't, it will simply be forgotten (but not by us) as mediocre.

"vampire tinder"

What fresh hell is this?

It's from V5's Camarilla sourcebook and mentioned once in the entire book, in p. 156 to be exact.

Paradox however made a full ARG with it, they even made a big reveal event, ARG and even a real life maze for some hand picked fans to ''reveal the secrets'', it was some big shit show.

Lol, "Ve are Vamily"

I thought this was a Last of Us 2 screenshot for a second

 

[Flying Dutchman]

Don't listen to Roguey spreading fake news implying this game will never see release. Work continues and Paradox is going to make this the best game in the WoD franchise.

cant tell if serious

 

[zapotec]

I think the videogame industry is a big giant catfish

Spotted on the official forums. It makes sense that Paradox was loaning people from Harebrained Schemes to Hardsuit Labs.

He won't be jumping ships to a sinking one, would he?

He won't be jumping ships to a sinking one, would he?

People will keep jumping ship until it is empty with a single blood-stained artifact in the center, the one that it's all about, until Hardsuit Labs is renamed to Elizabeth Dane.

All these shenanigans really makes Bloodlines all the more impressive. They really are cementing it as an all time work of genius by trying to recreate it.

We can see clearly now that:

- Setting is by and for colossal perverts.
- Everything that was once interesting about the setting has been retconned for no reason.
- Nobody gives a shit about gay vampires any more.
- Making video games is hard.

Troika had that midas touch.

He won't be jumping ships to a sinking one, would he?

It's possible that with the new shifts in development, they need him full-time onsite and his work won't be over for a while?

I can't imagine Harebrained wouldn't take a dev back if Hardsuit fails, so I don't think it's a bad move if he's getting paid/bribed more to work at Hardsuit.

Content designer and now a lead narrative designer lol they are probably still building content and tossing away whatever was there.

Edit: Also another narrative designer




Doubt we will see any of the original content.

Are we supposed to know this guy/chick/whatever the fuck it is? The name sounds familiar, but I can't put my finger on it.

We're doomed, to quote Xan. Or rather Bloodlines 2 is.

Troika would have crushed the Kickstarter era

 

[Child of Malkav]

Writer for Mass Effect Andromeda? Oh, joy. They replaced Brian with her. This is just comedy turned drama. Or vice versa.

 

[Flying Dutchman]

A writer for Mass Effect: Andromeda to replace Mitsoda?

Hardsuit, you never fail to deliver.

Edit: Even better, she posts tons of selfies on her Twitter (@StillNotSam) ughhhhhhhhhh

Manic pixie dream girl!

 

[Infinitron]

^Could be worse tbh.

Doubt we will see any of the original content.

Nah, don't think so. They have to try to use what they have, the game is behind schedule.

That's how I know her.

Avellone sure gets around

 

[Delterius]

what if coronavirus was invented by the vampire aristocracy in order to normalize masks and accomodate the "i was embraced with non retractable fangs" lobby

this is from the things i'd post if this thread didn't give me depression

 

[purupuru]

Why does everything have to go so wrong
At this point I'd settle for TOWish mediocrity, but I can't help but think it's gonna be something far, far worse.

[Harthwain]

Looks like the game is right on schedule: crashing before it starts burning.

It's going to be a magnificent disaster.
