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

[Lambach]

They should give me millions and the IP. I could make a masterpiece in two years for sure!

The best part is that you could blow all of those millions on cocaine and whores and the end result would be functionally no different compared to what a professional dev Studio did with their budget of millions.

Well, who knows what HSL were doing all this time? Maybe Mitsoda, Kaai and Cara got fired simply because they refused to participate in yet another crazy orgy with drugs involved? Elisson was the last one to leave tho, huh. Figures.

I'm just surprised more CRPGs haven't been made using WoD material. I mean, vampires and werewolves are at least kinda mainstream IMHO.

Both have been ruined to the point where even their mass appeal is finished. Werewolves are best as a plot device for murder mysteries with a Jekyl/Hyde element. Vampires are about Faustian bargains and everything around that. Both are unmistakably evil and to be reviled. I haven't witnessed any of these elements in media for a very long time. Rather than being creatures of horror that embody savage terror and existential dread, they are now a platform for inept degenerates to self-insert their perversity. Vampires and werewolves both been simultaneously sanitized and fetishized beyond recognition. Nobody cares anymore.

What did you expect? "Interview with a Vampire" was written by a woman who has several full-length BDSM porn novels behind her belt. And I mean really hardcore stuff.

One good thing about Anne Rice was that she was a full proponent of rape on her novels.

Too bad most of it was gay rape.

By the by, Codexers, her novels are living proof that a lot of women are into this kind of "entertainment", even if they vociferously deny it. About 50-60 percent of the "action" in her novels are either gay males or bisexual males with a sprinkling of women.

Her older erotic novels is basically 50 Shades of rape.

You have to wonder what took Paradox so long to realize this thing is a colossal clusterfuck, when it was obvious to fans nearly from the start even before all the leaks and drama started. I mean fucking hell, you could nearly hear wind blowing during development updates, it was always either big vague pile of nothing or Ellision yapping about some ridiculous woke shit.

 

[fantadomat]

They should give Wesp5 millions and the IP. Wesp5 could make a masterpiece in two years for sure!

FTFY

LoL no,he is good modder,but he won't be a good at running a pyramide sheme of a AAA development studio.

LoL i would be ravaging whores and snorting white for those two year like a fucking animal! Also i will just hire Wesp5 and a bunch of other decent devs to make the game,maybe MCA too for marketing .....and drinking/snorting/whoring company . I will be dropping by the basement office once a week to take my bonus and whip the devs for stimulation. Also i will hire Spacer's Nugget as shitposter pr dude,will whip him to.....for funzy. By the end i am sure that i will be able to deliver a great successor to the Vampire franchise and buy a bunch of side businesses to diversify my income . Also i will post semi-erotic photos of whipped devs.

LOL! No, I couldn't. Patching up a game is hard enough, making something new is even harder! But as the patch is more or less finished now, I am helping EntenSchreck with the Prelude mod, which is a prequel to Bloodlines. Part 1 is already out and it's half old maps to give the Bloodlines feeling and half completely new maps which you never saw before! So for everybody longing for a Bloodlines fix, check it out! But beware, this time you will start as a hunter : https://www.moddb.com/mods/vtmb-prelude

 

[Nephilim]

I'm surprised that they even reached to this conclusion since Swedes lack balls. Things must've looked pretty grim for them to discard a whole studio.
The World of Darkness community definitely fueled this delusion. Nowadays it's full of degenerates who obsess over pronouns, shit on BL1 and suggest studios like Ubisoft and Gearbox to take over development.
It's sad that this game didn't come out in it's disgusting form. Some people need to be raked over the coals.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

I've totally missed this. Thanks, Wesp5

I see where this is going and it already sounds like it's gonna suck.

They're Swedish. Not the brightest of bulbs.

I cannot believe women are into men.

It's the mechanics of the WoD setting that make studios hesitate. A pity, since the deep lore and shit is what makes the franchises unique.

It's known that most people, not just women, are aroused by violent sexual imagery. But a lady will not discuss such matters in the presence of menfolk, it could give them ideas.

They were taken by the proud fenno-ugrians.

 

[Lovely Feather Pillow]

Not sure if old. First time I’m seeing it.

 

[Lambach]

Old and famous enough that "RUDIposting" is legitimate, recognized jargon.

 

[Semiurge]

Not sure if old. First time I’m seeing it.

Combine Rudi with Ruth Bader Ginsburg and you have a half of a political totempole already.

 

[Spacer's Nugget]

That's Woke Rudi (Gangrel clan). Have you seen Based Rudy (Nosferatu clan)?

There is nothing above but the stars, above...

Prepare for downcount ?

The 18th of April 2019 relatively shortly after them announcing the game, i said this on the official forums :

"Well, if one wants to be the party pooper here, there is nothing to even remotely suggest that Hardsuit Labs is a triple A company. Their tagline of "we make great games".. no they dont. They haven't made a great game yet. Or indeed any game, much less games, plural. They were born out of the defunct Zombie Studios, which made indie games for 20 years before its owners retired and shut down the company. Games that were at best mediocre, and at worst, downright awful.

So the question isn't really their passion or dedication, etc.. but their ability to make a "great game" at all. They've never done it, and their pedigree is at best, very questionable.

I *really* want this to be a worthy successor to Bloodlines. Until i see the game in action, all i can do is hope really".

yeah.. hoping didn't do much... i am guessing that whatever new studio takes over is basically going to make the game over, more or less from scratch.

 

[mondblut]

At this point I'm ready to give this game over to Ubisoft, out of all companies. At least THEY know how to successfully milk a franchise.

With ubisoft, you won't find any kind of entertainment either with the drama OR with the game.

I reckon Seattle is witnessing an influx of onlyfans accounts, and the sales of dildos are booming.
