I don't have high hopes but this might be ok.

Like Vampyr, there is also a sizable skill tree to work your way through, in addition to the expected array of improved weapons, armor, or other gear you unlock through story progression or by finding the many hidden chests throughout your travels. It’s not a groundbreaking formula by any means, but all of our combat encounters felt suitably smooth and provided a refreshing change of pace between heavier story moments, if nothing else.

After Vampyr, I don't trust these guys to do a fun role playing game, or do fun action combat.

Vampyr was a huge stack of ass. I dunno, I guess this might be worth a try if it's very cheap (or just pirated). Looks nice visually at least.

Goyslop or not, Vampyr's story was actually decent (saved by the ending) and the combat was simple but fluid. In fact a couple of boss fights were actually between mediocre and good.

Also I remember that the codex was quite positive about the game on release probably because there were so few decent arpgs in 2018.

Vampyr is not a great game but it's not complete shit either. It can be fun within a specific range of expectations.

Anyway, now it seems that retardation rules supreme therefore it's cool to shit on the game for brownie points.

I tried to like it, to be honest. I gave it a fair 7-8 hours, but I wasn't feeling it.

I found the clip which will definetly sell the game to the codex.



Buy the game or you are racists! :smug:

edit:

Shahara Hasan (played by Amaka Okafor), is a Muslim woman who wears the hijab, and without a doubt, her character is the Muslim representation I've been waiting to see on screen.

edit 2: she has all the qualities of an entitled cunt. who is brave enough to miss her performance?? :)

Oh hey look, garbage Ubisoft UI again. Is there like a school where UX peeps go to design this trash or is there an AI that churns these out?

My UI is bad but at least it's not cookie cutter.

Muh item rarities so we can fucking chisel our playerbase. Also super cool % shit on everything!

At least it has stats so it's already more of an RPG than VtMB2:

This whole time reading this I was confusing this dev with the one that did Outward and was generally confused why they would make such a fudge packed game.

Then I looked at this devs game list. It makes sense. It's going to be shit, move on.

Yeah. It's bland shit.

The cretins released it one day sooner than expected. Steam: 60% positive rating atm.

edit: it's not like the release date matters in this case but still. they said 13th of february
