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

[Space Nugget]

Wesp5 You're probably the most famous figure in the Bloodlines community. You've been interviewed alongside Brian Mitsoda. I'm curious, were you told anything about this game before it was announced?

Yes, I was shown the intro and tutorial during a video web session at the end of January already, but I signed a NDA not to tell anyone before the announcement! Paradox is pretty much aware that the UP kept Bloodlines alive so they want to get the patch credits into Bloodlines 2 . Also they warned me about interviews that might be upcoming, but what I would really like to do is taking part in beta testing the game so there won't be any need for a patch latter !

Played us like a damn fiddle.

Please, give us your impressions of the gameplay demo.

 

[Yosharian]

Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a fucking trainwreck?

The game is officially announced. Why do you still continue to pretend to not be Paradox/Labs employee?

Got fired.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

You mean you didn't want to be an owner anymore?

troika backgrounds

Name 3 devs in there that do

 

[aweigh]

They don’t count, everybody does.

I think the only one who could pull off writing a 2019 VtM game is ContraPoints. She is a perfect yet self-aware incarnation of the Zeitgeist, minus the bit about being constantly offended. And she digs vampires.

Are you being fucking serious?

Forgive me, I meant in the sense of 'troika style background mechanics'. Like those of Arcanum, it was said there's going to be nice reactivity according to which employment you lead so far into the game.

 

[Infinitron]

So, I wonder what are the odds we get to see the VTMB2 gameplay footage as soon as next weekend at PAX East?

 

[Herumor]

Does Paradox normally participate in PAX East? I'm not familiar with all these events.

Gameplay footage is a must in the next few months, if they want to keep the interest in the game alive, especially if they keep up their promise to release in Q1 2020.

Not that I know of, because they have their own events and stuff. But if they're trying to hype something new it probably would be a good idea to show up, so maybe they will

 

[Whiny-Butthurt-Liberal]

It's all very well you so brutally mocking me but I seriously believe that I was born an attack helicopter in a mans body and am currently having propellers afixed to my spine, I may never fly, I may never rain death down upon the masses, or do anything a real attack helicopter can, but I can mutilate myself and play let's pretend and your brutal oppression will not stop that shitlord.

Oh never mind I want to larp as a chest of drawers now.

Not only is the joke pathetic and tasteless(I will not get into why lest infinitron deletes the thread), it is most importantly unfunny. There is no suspension, no punchline, no wit. I understand that your persona on this forum is the lovable clueless boomer with a pint in hand and elf bones under your feet, but you are going too hard on the boomerdom right now.

 

[kalganoat]

I bet normies will hate it because immersive sims confuse them and it bombs.

 

[Arulan]

TheSentinel How dare you include me in your stalker scrapbook!



But really, are we back to attacking developers and other communities? You're the whining usual suspects he was talking about.

In other news, I've seen a lot of people playing Bloodlines for the first time. That can only be . Unless they get forever lost in the sewers...

I don’t know how much DLC there will be, but I do know that some clans will be added to the game after launch, and that these will be free to all players.

 

[Metro]

I will pay $20 for a DLC to patch out Cara Ellison's writing.

 

[Black]

You're the whining usual suspects he was talking about.

Boo hoo, call me when it's the Codex that campaigns for banning of video games. Until then, being called "usual suspects" by tards who feel they're the moral gatekeepers of media is a badge of honour.

 

[a cut of domestic sheep prime]

Here we fucking go again.

Can these fuckers not hire Leftwing zealots for lead positions? Is that not possible? Is not poisoning your game completely from the start not an option anymore?

 

[Terra]

EatChildren's an ex-NeoGAF mod, his "SJWs don't exist guys" stance is totally unbiased I'm sure.

 

[Sukhāvatī]

Yes I loved that stream music, anywhere I can find it? It was really good ambient music.

People were saying it's Paradox's own in-house music; some tracks specifically from Cities: Skylines.

 

[Black]

It's always the same.
"We want to censor and limit what can be put in a video game or any other art form"
vs
"We want these people to fucking stop their meddling in creativity"

SEE, BOTH SIDES ARE EXACTLY THE SAME

Friendly reminder that modern western white women are the most protected and coddled group of peoples to ever exist in the history of humanity.

Name me a single instance where a cult game released decades prior suddenly got a sequel and was good.

Fallout: New Vegas was released 12 years after the last non-spinoff entry.
