Game News Bloodlines 2 no longer being developed by Hardsuit Labs, delayed past 2021

Needless to say Codex hivemind was right in this case also:
*snip*
Kudos for PorkyThePaladin for a smart poll back in the day.

Nah, Codex was retarded. Notice how VtMB2 had less than 99% of the vote? How 34 people actually voted for KM2 and BG3? Yeah.

2021 more like year of the incline, now I'll wait for ME Legendary Edition to be a total disaster.

 

[Tyranicon]

If I didn't already have so much on my plate, I'd make a porn parody for you guys. Probably still less shit than whatever this was gonna be.

…and they’re hiring!

 

[Polyphemus]

No one could have seen this coming

 

[Raghar]

Wait, why was Mitsoda fired? What about the Kai Lord, why was she fired? And then the other femme 'narrative designer'? Were they having coke induced consent based 3-somes in the studios?

Because of his nose. Have you seen his picture? He's too little milennial... ...and he has big nose.

 

[grimace]

No Brian?
No Bloodlines

Know Brian
Know Bloodlines

Its funny that this game about vampirism is neither dead nor alive.

 

[Blaine]

"Consent-based vampirism"? Is that the new "Refugees Welcome"?

Post-modern progressive politics in the office make for dogshit games. I don't even know why I'm wasting thirty seconds writing this; if you haven't realized it by now, then you never will.

 

[GloomFrost]

And for the second time I sincerely congratulate everyone who pre-ordered Bloodlines 2 .

 

[Night Goat]

With this in mind, the first piece of news we have for you is to confirm that Bloodlines 2 is still in development.

Translation: it's cancelled but if we admitted that we'd have to refund the preorders.

 

[Murk]

Somehow this "game" keeps getting more and more pathetic.

 

[Burning Bridges]

Paradox will now hope Hardsuit does not turn into Lawsuit Labs.

 

[Zed]

Makes me wonder if Mitsoda and the other dude weren't just fall-guys for an incompetent team.

I like this trend of woketards being so incompetent that they cost millions of dollars to the companies that hire them, really want them to continue on this trend so natural selection will eventually do its work. About Bloodlines 2, "The game was rigged from the start" so nothing personal Hard Suit Labs, I wish you a good bankrupcy and be careful with the hobo used heroin needles on the way out.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Go figure. Stupid woke crap. Funny gog still has it listed though.

Standard Edition $59.99
Unsanctioned Edition $69.99
Blood Moon Edition $89.99

Time for BG3 now.

 

[Morpheus Kitami]

I didn't expect the conductor to come out of the trainwreck, insist it wasn't a trainwreck, then try to push the train back onto the tracks. Its going to be interesting to see just what happened when someone leaks the never released game twenty or thirty years down the line.

 

[Flying Dutchman]

Makes me wonder if Mitsoda and the other dude weren't just fall-guys for an incompetent team.

They probably were part of it.

While a Mitsoda fan, Mitsoda track record with development doesn't seem that great beyond setting the stage for him getting new wives and girlfriends.

And there's no way the Creative Director could have been blind to Mitsoda's problems... and if he was, then yes, both deserved to be fired.

That said, it's pretty clear they weren't the only problems, and it seems like many of the problems were still there after the firings and quittings and shittings.

 

[commie]

They need to hire Trine Games to make it, the Pajeets that made the epic success that was Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods.

If you're going for maximum fail lols, why not go all the way?

I'd suggest a joint venture with the Arcania dev team as well.

[GentlemanCthulhu]

"Consent-based vampirism in a neo-liberal setting"
Does this sentence actually have a meaning? Feel like it's just a random string of "Twitter-approved keywords". Can anybody, including the writers of the game, actually tell me what a neo-liberal setting is?

 

[hellbent]

So what Eurojank shovelware dev team is Paradox gonna hire to shine up the shitpile of code that Hardsuit left behind? Of course Paradox will make sure the game is finished, they don't want to refund the sweet filthy lucre they've already collected from pre-orders.
