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

or well-done sarcasm.

This. Quotation marks have meaning you know.

Not sure if this is a shill review or well-done sarcasm.



"Cons - we fix all the problems! "

Smells like a shill review, especially the Cons section you pointed out.

Guess Hardsuit HR and the CEO are working overtime to make sure those reviews are glowing!

Who cares about working on the game, I guess, Hardsuit's focus is where it should be: on the perception of the company on review sites, not the delivery of anything of quality, meaning, or even acceptable by PS2 standards.

Yes, I had some contact with Florian and he is a very nice guy, coming out of the modding scene and being a real fan of VtmB. You could probably see that in the clan revelation videos and his participation in the PnP game streams . He told me that he was already removed from Bloodlines before they fired Cluney and Mitsoda...

Way to get him fired, Wesp5, this post might as well be written on a pink slip

"Florian, it's come to our attention you interact with the fans in a positive manner. This will not do. If this behavior persists, we'll have no choice but to let you go."

What I do hope comes out it's a artbook of the game, because the haven/base/apartment of the protagonist was so cool

Wesp5 in Bloodlines at the start of warrens level 4 there's the long vertical duct with the large fan at the bottom through which you're supposed to fall. There's also another smaller vertical duct with a ladder that runs alongside it, but the access to it is blocked by an indestructible grille. Is there any way to open it in the basic version?

Actually I don't know who was behind contacting me and I don't know why Florian left the project. I only had contact with him because we both were at the Gamescom in Cologne at the same time !

No, there isn't but I'm pretty sure Troika planned it at one time so I made it possible in the plus patch. After all why add an alternate way to the map if you can't ever use it?

That review looks like a master level in irony tbh

is this shit even alive? They've been silent since December.

It's alive in the same way a vampire is alive.

Maaaan, I am so happy i managed to cancel my preorder on GoG. Went for the biggest edition, dlc and all.
Phew, dodged a bullet there

I have very serious concerns about the plot of the new Vampires.
As I understand it, they were going to make an allegory of the present, but events are changing so quickly and the White Hats are turning into Black Hats. The conspiracy story does not keep up with a more fantastic reality, when either a double or a real senile Biden sits in the White House (if the White House itself is not filmed in the studio, lol). Do not forget about the under-chrome. Women remain women, conspiracy theorists remain conspiracy theorists (and the entire plot of the World of Darkness is conspiracy thesis), so the developers may have serious frustration on this topic and even hatred of the game about bloodsuckers.
The problems with the storyline were outlined a long time ago when Mitsoda was fired. It seems to me that he insisted on the final approved scenario (whatever it may be), but these people wanted to make the scenario that would reflect the agenda.
It seems to me that now the dialogues are being edited to fit them into a new plot, this is the main brake on development.

I imagined I'm that maniac from the Saw, and the members of HSL are my victims... hehe.
But let's not pretend I'm a fan of VtMB or even played it once - I just want those faggots to suffer.
Usually I'm very civilian...

Does the Codex do betting pools?

I'm not betting on shame, I'm betting on the "near universal acclaim".

Congratulations on your retarded tag. Well earned. I hope you're a low effort troll.

In only 29 post on top of it,this one have a bright future as a codexer.

Was kidding, I didn't ever assume you had anything to do with him leaving or contacting him/him contacting you.

But now that you posted a blatant denial concerning the fate of Florian, am now suspicious that maybe you did have something to do with it.

A hardcore move would have been to block all exits to normal sewers from all the Warrens levels, since the ledgers explicitly state that those sections were bricked off. It doesn't make any sense then to have any of them be separated from the normal sewers by doors, like in Warrens 1, 2 and 3. It would be a major hazard for the Nosferatu. All Warrens haters would of course object to that change :D

Now that's a horror scenario for the ages.

I actually restored evidence of this in the plus patch, but some Nosferatu who might not want to go through Gary's room to enter of leave the warrens broke through them. Found niced models to use that might even have been intended there!
