The Other Vampire game

[Phelot]

Vampire The Masquerade.

I played it a lot a looong time ago and don't remember too much, but I remember that I enjoyed it. What does everyone think of it here? I don't hear too much about it.

Total shit.

And it's called Redemption.

Oh yeah... Redemption.

Why was it so bad?

 

[racofer]

Play the game and find out, you lazy fuck.

Why was it so bad?

linear hack n slash without anything that makes hack'n slash games nice. the only thing remotely good about it were the endings but totally not worth playing the rest of it for.

It's a pretty linear game but worth a play through at least once I think. I got all the way to the end and the last battle is awe inspiring fucking insane (you fight one of those second gen vamps at the end instead of opening a coffin with a bomb). But once I lucked out and managed to finish it, that was it. The game has virtually no replay value IIRC. It has some decent levels though.

There was this one level (pre-modern times) in which you invade some sort of structure, but the sun is out so you have to avoid all of the sunlight spots in order to keep from burning up. I found that one particularly amusing.

You're mean! But strangely... I'm attracted...

Ahhh... I remember I was really interested in the map editor thing, but it was actually just a tool that let you place crap around existing maps IIRC

I actually like Redemption, and regularly re-play it from time to time.

At the time is was the ONLY V:TM available, which gave me a gigantic hard on, and I played the game with rose colored glasses on, ignoring all it's faults.

It is NOT THE GREATEST RPG of all time, no. It's what I would call an ok action RPG, set in the V:TM setting.

And since there are so fucking precious few Vampire RPG's out there, I find it worth it.

And you can even decide how the game ends. Good stuff.

The zulu form boss in this one is tougher than the sherrif in troikas vampire game. The troika version just takes freaking spotlights to kill.

Also, the engine used in redemption is better.

There's a demo if you're curious but are too lazy to download the whole thing. I looked at it and I'm no longer curious.

 

[Ch1ef]

If you like"the World of Darknes", you should try it.
If you like vampires, you should try it.
If you like "the old games",you should try it.

Also, the engine used in redemption is better.

Lol, what?

OMG,i just foud out when did Redemption came out..2000,lol.
Awful desighn,awful...

 

[Shannow]

Awesome game. Replayed 3 times. Good fun.

Don´t expect a serious rpg. It´s a partybased Action-rpg with a linear cinematic plot (with 3 different endings). But I enjoyed the game. It has a nice story with a plot in the dark ages and in the present. World (levels) was very restricted but felt more realistic than Bloodlines.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Play 'till you get out of the Dark Ages and uninstall. No, really, the first half is enjoyable, but the second is astonishingly boring

 

[Haba]

It's worth playing. I think actually bought a retail copy myself. If you don't like the combat, then probably not worth the effort though.

 

[ghostdog]

Not as good as bloodlines, but it's worth playing. Combat gets repetitive but the atmosphere and story are good.

 

[Ammar]

you fight one of those second gen vamps at the end instead of opening a coffin with a bomb.

Vukodlak is just an methusaleh, meaning 4th or 5th generation.

 

[Lim-Lim]

Redemption is one of those games that have aged pretty well, taking in account that you actually liked the game back when it was released.

Vampire The Masquerade.

Play it, for god's sake!

Still the best story I played in a RPG (and that includes JRPGs) - and yes, I played Torment.

Wonderful setting. Dark ages and and absolute mega cool present day scenario. Hacking your way through London is a blast.

VERY linear game, though. The devs didn't even bother to fully realise their dungeons and give dead ends some meaning (closed door or such) - those tunnels just ... end.

I love how your behaviour plays out in the ending. It depends on how much humanity you still had.

Beautiful design, looks way better than Bloodlines artistically. The Stephan's cathedral in Vienna is something to be marveled at.

 

[Panthera]

I liked it as a hack and slash. The first few levels when you're still human are unbelievably boring, and nearly made me quit the game then and there, but it gets better. I got pretty hooked on the plot.

As for the modern half? Being a 600 year old vampire wielding a chainsaw is its own reward.

 

[Jasede]

I really liked that game, but only played the first half of it. It has a fine plot, very good atmosphere (to me) and lovely settings. Yes, the genre is more of an ungodly Diablo/jRPG hybrid, but the story and art design I think excuse that. I regret never having completed this fine game.

In fact, I believe I like it more than Bloodlines, maybe /because/ I have never finished it.

Vampire The Masquerade

This game was awesome, i love all of it, i remember the part when you sleep for hundred years and wake up on actual time, that game was totally awesome.

 

[Phelot]

So are the people that hate it just comparing it to bloodlines or something? I can't seem to find my CD of it anymore otherwise I'd install it. Last time I played was probably 2002 or so.

Anyways, I've never even played Bloodlines, I really should get it. I didn't originally because I don't really like vampire settings too too much, but since everyone masturbates to this game...

What was that girl's name....the Aerith of Western RPG was it? Christoff is Cloud of Western RPG in my book.

[Jaesun]

Oh, and the opening video is the worst intro OF ALL TEIM! Seriously, watching it can make you gay. Look what happened to me.

OMG SI VAMPIRE!!!11!

Just quickly hit escape when it comes up. The rest of the cut-scenes in the game are pretty cool.
