[Tyranicon]

 

[normie]

jesus christ, bla bla bla bla
FUCK. THAT.
HE'S HIDING SOMETHING
ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA

 

[Roguey]

The most-liked comments are complaining about the name of the protagonist and and how said protagonist and the voice in her head won't shut up.

 

[Lanxs]

Can't say I like the way the game is looking, but I already figured I wouldn't a while ago.

 

[bionicman]

Nothing like the original

 

[Hellraiser]

+xp for kills

 

[ropetight]

Females and adjacents that are into Twilight and Interview with the Vampire will love this!

 

[Grunker]

"HE'S HIDING SOMETHING"

No shit, sherlock, he just said so himself

 

[Shaki]

Looks like a generic normie action game with very light RPG elements, and not having anything in common with bloodlines other than setting/title. I don't think continuing to share the news about it on Codex even makes sense anymore. Might as well start covering new Call of Duty.

Yeah, this is gonna be the dealbreaker for a lot of people. Unlike Fallout, which was fairly obscure before Bethesda bastardized it, Bloodlines has an established fandom with certain expectations. We expect quirky writing, colorful characterization, black comedy, welcome subversion of tired cliches after heavy misdirection, cartoony jiggle physics…

This is bland and generic af. The plot is probably hugely predictable and has none of “oh no they didn’t!” moments that Bloodlines had.

Females and adjacents that are into Twilight and Interview with the Vampire will love this!

This is nothing like those either. Fans of that won’t enjoy it. There’s not enough hot dudes.

 

[normie]

what discipline is this?

 

[Lagole Gon]

Zeno Clash spinoff sequel looks pretty cool!

 

[likash]

 

[Shin]

the combat looks less janky than VtmB's combat.

there, the only positive comment concerning this POS you'll find in the thread!

 

[deuxhero]

Who asked for this?

 

[sser]

6 year old me at JCPenneys.

No they won't, girls want to be sexy blood(cock)sucking vixens and fuck chad dracula impersonators, not whatever this shit is.

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

So feeding is now always an autokill? Just a quick attack? Gone is the style of the dramatic spotlight. These people have no understanding of the source material or the era that created it. Also, why does the player keep attacking and feeding when they know they're illusions? Punch, punch, sip, dead. Very lame. In Baldur's Gate 2, one of the first quests has illusionary werewolves attack the player. If the player doesn't respond, they don't do any damage. The player can even detect them to dispel them entirely. This is a game that is over 23 years old. I don't usually jump on the Codex bandwagon to dump on games, but this one is doomed.

Females, lol, where do you think you are, resetera or something?

 

[frajaq]

I fucking hate how the protagonist looks

 

[Raghar]

Why are killed people exploding in random light flashes?

Raghar [Rolls Perception] Result: 1

Hey I flew 1.3 meter trough the air and hit chair by my forehead. I have concussion and doctor in hospital forbade me to think, doing work, or doing anything stressful.

I assume it was tutorial where a but ugly elder was manipulated by vampire with inferior power... And she was brain dead because of multiculturality.

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

It's shit and the protagonist looks like a tranny.
