I think it's because there's a crafting system replacing jewelry stealing. Fuck that.

I do believe that this could be a good sequel to Bloodlines but they really need to fix the jank. The combat at the moment seems broken beyond repair and needs to be replaced completely if they want to sell more than 50k copies.
I could maybe accept this if it was made by 15 Russians in Novosibirsk, but not when they have a real publisher at their back.

I really hope the craft system isn't important ( imo it didn't have to exist, Bloodlines didn't had and was just fine) .. I didn't liked craft on Skyrim , FO4 or DA:I even less in a Vampire game.
But i guess after Fallout 4's and DA:I financial success, every RPG now needs to have super overpowered crafted items that are better even compared to the most unique items because people love to collect literaly trash and flowers that much.

The game looks okayish, worse than Outer Worlds and CyberPunk2077 , but we still have like 9 months to go. I don't want to hype because i don't know this dev team well enough to say if they can make something half decent.

Does that gameplay look at all different from what we saw during E3? I wonder if they just brought the exact same build.

I honestly do not understand why they dropped playthrough number #976 of the very same level/quest we've seen since E3, with almost no variation at all.

At this point I'm starting to believe this is the only level they've done completely.

The song in nightclub is bad.
The original had so many great songs.
Darling Violetta, Tiamat, Genitorturers.

This one should've had at least Hocico (for aggrotech dosage), Actually Huizenga (for vampiric pornopop) and some gothrock or smh.

This song should've been the theme:

I am more curious about the blood spell the PC is using to turn a backpack in to toilet paper,it is at 14:55. Which clan does have this amazing spell???

Also did you people noticed that the whole masquerade thing is not part of this game. In the older ones if you do some shady shit in front of people you loose some masquerade,here you jump from the 4th floor in front of many people and nobody cares lol.

in a world where every conspiracy is true, jeffrey epstein in fact was strangled with the toilet paper the american government wants us to think was actually used to hang him

its more powerful than massive spider webs and it is in the interests of Alkemical Conversion to master the 'canvas to toilet paper' pipeline, just as the classic 'lead to gold'

Clearly an impromptu circus act.

Bloodlines 2’s vampires will flirt with you, but not always “out of genuine care”
bloodlines-2-clans-malkavians-580x334.jpg


It looks like the upcoming, and long-anticipated, Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 will give the player some interesting questions to ponder when it comes to relationships in the game. The sequel to Troika Games’ 2004 action-RPG will see you take to streets of vampire-infested Seattle and establish some uneasy associations with members of the various vampiric factions running the city – and, according to publisher Paradox Interactive’s product manager, you’ll be wondering just how deep your friendships and romances really go.

Speaking at this year’s Gamescom about how deep social interactions in the game will be, Florian Schwarzer says “this is a very interesting and difficult subject for us to talk about, because one of the central ideas of the game is to be a vampire, and to make this whole ‘you’re a predator, you’re a creature that has one number-one priority, and that’s blood’ tangible in all parts of the game.

“So there are definitely people who in the end would call you a friend, and there’s definitely the possibility to flirt, there’s definitely something in that direction as well.”

However, it looks like you’ll want to evaluate all those interactions, alliances, and flirtations pretty carefully in the game, as you never know what your new-found pals’ motives might be: “the question you’ll have to answer for yourself is ‘how much of the people who call you friend, and how many of the people – particularly the vampires who are flirting with you – are doing that out of genuine care, or as a means to an end?’”

These questions and complexities around social interaction could throw up some interesting choices – and consequences – when the time comes to choose which Bloodlines 2 clan you’re going to align with or pick factions you might want to work for during the game’s plot.

It looks, then, like you might have to keep your cards held pretty close to your chest until you’ve sussed all your pals and passions when the game arrives in March, 2020.

One Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 playthrough will last “about 30 hours”
Bloodlines-2-clans-tremere-580x334.jpg


How long will it take to beat Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2? About as long as it took to complete the original, according to the developers. Bloodlines 2 will feature a campaign about 30 hours long, assuming you’re the type to stop and smell the roses – but that number might extend if you’re an “obsessive completionist.”

“At the beginning, we expect that quite a few people will not be playing this only once, but instead play it in one configuration and then choose different backgrounds, a different plan, and go right back in,” product manager Florian Schwarzer tells us in an interview at Gamescom.

“For one playthrough, right now we’re assuming about a 30-hour playthrough on the first go. That’s for somebody who isn’t an obsessive completionist, but who likes to have seen the world.” For comparison, a relaxed playthrough of the original Bloodlines – meaning the main story and some side content – averages 28ish hours on HowLongToBeat.

So it’ll be a meaty RPG, but not quite one that will fill all your nights and weekends for the year,

Schwarzer also told us what to expect about romance in Bloodlines 2 – in short, you should be afraid of it most of the time. The game is set to launch in March 2020.
