We have black chick, white chick with cringe hairstyle and a middle-aged guy .
Let me try this again since it seems nobody can understand me, or they don't want to. There is a fantasy black woman, an obvious lesbian and some gay bait. My point was that this decision was made to sell the game to people who would play urban fantasy games about vampires, that it was the market that helped with this decision, they aren't making a documentary game. There's also nothing wrong with some guy buying a vampire game because he feels homosexual attraction to the vampire guy in it. Do you disagree with any of this?
There were clearly factors other than appealing to likely buyers that went into those choices.

The hordes of totally-not-closested-homofascists on the Codex have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

You get bossed around, lectured and given quests by a man in a dress who is the "prince" of the city. One of the characters you play with is a lesbian woman with a child with butch haircut and clothing.The game is full of such disgusting degeneracy, and I fully expect the dialogue and plot to represent this. Hard pass.

You're the guy complaining that the vampires in Twilight are too sparkly. This game is not for you and that's ok. It's not for me either but there's nothing wrong with that the people who do like vampire princes in dresses and butch lesbians get games too. Vampire the Masquerade has always been for those people.

VAMPIRE: THE MASQUERADE – SWANSONG :
PRE-ORDERS START NOW

The night has come for Boston’s Camarilla, announcing the beginning of pre-orders for Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong

Lesquin, April 7, 2022
– The night has come for Boston’s Camarilla, announcing the beginning of pre-orders for Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong, the Narrative RPG of Big Bad Wolf studio. The game will be available May 19th on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC (Epic Games Store).


Click here to watch the new Trailer of Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong:


Mysterious assassins have attacked the Boston Camarilla - a secret society comprising most of the vampires in the city. Galeb Bazory, Emem Louis, and Leysha are tasked by the Prince of the city’s Kindred with learning the identity of the attackers as well as the motives underlying the large-scale attack. The orders are simple: infiltrate, investigate and get answers, using supernatural powers if necessary.

In this adaptation of the pen and paper game, players of Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong take control of three heroes with their own character sheets. Through their choices, they will shape the stats of their characters. Using their Skills, it is possible to pick a lock, intimidate an NPC or make more efficient deductions based on hints. The protagonists also have vampiric powers, known as Disciplines, allowing them to reach inaccessible areas, conceal their presence, or foresee potential futures.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong combines the exploration of a wide variety of environments, skillfully-crafted dialogs, clever puzzles, and a branching story where every choice comes with a consequence. The characters are finely developed and, faithful to the World of Darkness IP, reveal that they are monsters in spite of their human appearance.

With more than fifteen different endings for the main characters and the fate of Boston’s Camarilla, each Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong player will experience their own adventure in this unique Narrative RPG.

Vampire: The Masquerade – Swansong will be available on PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox One et Xbox Series X|S and PC (Epic Games Store) on the 19th of May 2022.
Nintendo SwitchTM will be available later in 2022

They actually managed to select a "song" as retarded as the game for that trailer. Makes BioWare's Dragon Age trailer with Marilyn Manson look like high art in comparison. :lol:

Nacon? Epic Games Store? Say no more, I’ll pirate it.
Wait, did I know any of this before just now? Seems like I would have complained about Nacon upthread but apparently I haven't. I also feel surprised and unhappy that it's Epic exclusive. One of the few titles I would have preordered, but ... no.

So your choice of characters are a faggot, a monkey and whatever that thing with half her hair missing is supposed to be.

I thought the whole point was to make being a vampire look cool? Until the setting pulls the rug from under you at least.

When I saw "narrative RPG" and when I saw "from devs of The Council" I immediately knew I'm gonna pass

but such degeneracy only makes things worse

Fuck this gay Earth. Now the question is: is the title a self fulfilling prophecy for the developer or the IP?

Edit: Who am I kidding, it's a self fulfilling prophecy for the IP. The developers probably got a comfy kickback from daddy Epic and his Chinaman dollars. BBW probably killed their game with their last trailer. I know WW is woke as fuck but they have to see that this isn't a good look for their IP.

So this game is going to be Epic, huh? I guess I will pass for now and wait for that sweet 95% discount. Assuming it is even worth playing. Epic is saving my money again.

You mean the pre-order trailer? It's a confusing mess to me, but why you said they "probably killed their game"?

Nacon??? The only thing I know them from is the aborted fiasco/scam Paranoia game. I look them up and find... they're in another completely separate legal dispute over a game called The Sinking City. And they recently changed their name from Bigben.

I'm gonna preorder this, but first I have to buy 50 ships in Star Citizen and some black market organs from a Russian mobster who pinkie-swears that they weren't taken from IV drug users.

I've just never seen you mention The Council before.
