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

[Latelistener]

They've been making so much money first with hats from TF2 and then with CS:GO and Dota 2 that they can effectively remove any other game from Steam except their own and still be profitable.

Also, Steam has the advantage of the competition being incredibly retarded, like Epic that ended last year with a 300 million loss while their store has an interface that looks like it was made by someone that wanted to make the simplest things the most incovenient possible and Microsoft that practically begs you to not buy on their store. Honestly, can someone explain to me how Epic burned 300 million dollars and cant create a fucking user forum on their store?

Aren't they practically burning money to bribe developers to sell their games exclusively on their store?

Also - they aren't interested in creating user forum:

Max Bialystock : How can a producer make more money with a flop than he could with a hit?
Leo Bloom : Well, it's simply a matter of creative accounting.

I can understand not making a forum since forum means needing mods and potential for breeding uneeded controversy. Lack of a shopping cart is sheer retardation (like this "game") though.

It also doesn't help that if you want to sell on the Epic store you need to either lease your butthole to Tim Sweeney for several months before other people gain access to it, or sell it for his exclusive use. This is in contrast with Steam and Gog, who gladly share between the two platforms and let the user decide where they want to buy.

Lack of a shopping cart

They seriously don't have a shopping cart? What is this, 1994?

 

[Immortal]

Hardsuit were a bunch of clowns who didn't know what they were doing.

I can almost picture the endless meetings discussing real world political easter-eggs they could litter in their unfinished concept game whilst shovelling publisher money into a fire to offer employee's free craft beers from a local immigrant brewery or a salad bar Tuesday.

Time to go back to their barista jobs at Starbucks - they had a good run playing pretend as developers.

Pathetic.


(That trailer they released that looked like something a 14 year old would slap together in Gmod still makes me laugh)

Rather jerk off to this

Too bad 3D version has a horse's face because of lazy asset reuse.

absolutely NOTHING about the studio working on bloodlines 2 and absolutely NOTHING about Swansong... why the fuck did PDX even buy this franchise?

This is why

So that it rests safely in woke hands.

With the advent of sparkly Hollywood teenvamps and subsequently women infesting and taking over the internet a few years after the release of VtMB, any hope for a proper sequel was lost long ago. What was the last piece of popular media that featured dangerous, cool and sexy vampires? Blade Trinity?
I hope everyone knows that no matter who picks this up it will be utter dogshit. Best to reminisce over the past. Let's pay Wesp to remake VtMB from scratch (throw in some extra for therapy as he seems to genuinely like CP2077, huge problem).

Bloodlines, sadly enough.

True Blood? It was very woke, but also edgy. The plot twist of a politician suggesting that every human should have a personal vampire "guardian" that was supposed to keep the human safe from "rapist" vamps and who would be paid with blood tickled my funnybone.

Interview with a vampire is the only good vampire media ever produced, due to Tom Cruise and kristen dunst acting

To try and make big money, but the one-two of nearly causing an international incident with Chechyna (and through extent Russia) and the game not coming out any time soon, they won't be making back their money any time soon.

Wouldn't even come close to qualifying as popular media, unfortunately.

... I'll admit that irritatingly gay abomination of a series did have some ok elements. But they were too few and far between for it to count. On the occasions when they took a break from advertising faggotry or hating on smalltown America and focused on human-vampire politics/history it was decent.

Too gay.

First Underworld is cool, but every new movie in the series is worse than the previous one

That just might be for the better.

First Underworld has a plot thinner than institution grade tp. Without a latex catsuit in it, who'd bother watching? It's got nothing on Blade II.
