World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 from Hardsuit Labs

This game...

What game lol?!

 

[Jenkem]

This game is going to be so fucking good, lads... This chad producer comes in and gets rid of dead weight like Brian (not needed anymore) Mitsoda and kicks Cara Ellison to the curb. Probably removed all the poz and injecting it with a dose of basedonium

The dude is a liberal who used to work for Ubisoft, I don't think he'll be removing any poz.

I think he is sarcastic. Either that or he's trying really hard to convince himself that Bloodlines 2 will be good. At the very least he's consistent about it.

Given the massive amounts of sexual assault going on at Ubisoft, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually did that.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Damn you ubisoft. I can't forgive the MMX butthurt. The unity purchase cost price to mod the game, the stupid steam + ubi launchers... jesus my soul for just a gog release and no online connectivity required ...... plus simple mod making thats not going to cost a paycheck or three.

stick to rayman. And robert.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

You know

er... i mean

UBISOFT RAYMAN

So Mitsoda is out, Avellone is out, even fucking Cara Ellison is out.

Who is even working on this disaster?

[markec]

So what are the chances of this actually coming out in 2021?

Bigger than it actually being good.

The writing is done (barring Ubisoft guy editing what's there if things need to be cut), now they just have to make what they have worth releasing.

Lessons learned from Brian Mitsoda:

 

[Roguey]

Sounds like a Chris "blow up the word budget" Avellone subtweet.

 

[Verylittlefishes]

When a character is written well though, it’s usually because of what they’re *not* saying.

It's not fucking Dark Souls, it's text-based C&C RPG...is it?

 

[Avarize]

Sounds like Mitsoda gave her solid advice. Economic writing is a lost art.

 

[Ol' Willy]

All her incoherent rambling could be reduced to "don't do infodumps" and nothing of value would be lost. Talk about being economic, heh.

 

[Verylittlefishes]

If only people who wrote PoE and Numenera were listening.

Kind of agree but excessive dialogue is not just about infodumps, especially with the current crop of writers.

 

[PulsatingBrain]

Funnily enough, the guts of what she's saying is a legit golden rule of writing: Dialogue and writing in general should always be in service of something. Don't waffle aimlessly.

But she described it in a laborious, elongated way.

 

[Ol' Willy]

If only people who wrote PoE and Numenera were listening.

They had no time to listen, they were busy writing

 

[Gilius Thunderhead]

What if all writing in videogames was done by autistic programmers in their spare time? Wouldn't the world be a better place?

 

[Sarathiour]

Sounds like Mitsoda gave her solid advice. Economic writing is a lost art.

I found it somehow doubly ironic that she post about it on twitter, which limited character's count aimed to force people to voice synthetic thinking.

Nowadays, the average's user found an elegant solution : they skip the thinking part.

 

[Infinitron]

I think you guys might be missing the full significance of what she wrote there. It's not just about making characters not-too-wordy. She's stressing the importance of the behind-the-scenes narrative design that allows you to achieve that and also make them more compelling. You have to carefully plan what characters will and will not say in order to make them work.

Well, that makes sense.
But everything connected to Bloodlines 2 is just provoking unhealthy laughing at this point.
