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

I doubt anything good will come from this.

A clusterfuck of a game can also be very entertaining.

For instance: never played Fallout 76, but it's probably the most fun I had with a BGS game.

It's too niche for its failure to be even that entertaining like andromeda or fallout 76.

Mark my words: the butthurt will be glorious.

There actually seems to be an overwhelming amount of fabulous optimism in this thread.
I can't really see why

What a shitty boring ARG! A total waste of money.

Agree with those who say that the gaem will be shite.
Because, you know, it will definitely be shite.
It is predetermined. Predestined.
Perhaps, by the Dark Father himself.

I'm puzzled at how much effort they're putting into this.

It does seem like way too much for a single player game.

Unless it's the next Skyrim, I guess.

 

[Jenkem]

it's going to be a mobile game.

11 nights days remaining... until the Decline Gehenna is upon us all, my fellow Kindred!

99,99% fake... but I would like to believe this is legit:

https://boards.4channel.org/v/thread/454023037

Confirmed fake because it says main writers are Brian Mitsoda and Leonard Boyarsky. Which is a big lie considering Leonard has been working on Outer Worlds at Obsidian and he has no time for other projects.

Sorry it was my cat.



This is bullshit!

He could pretend to be anyone on that site and he chose to be an employee of a Swedish video game publisher.

Don't know about you guys/gals, but I'm gonna miss the hell out of typing shit on computers.

It's a small thing, but it helped the experience feel a bit more... "wholesome", immersive. It felt right.

(FUCK console UI/UX )

Regular people using a text-based operating system in 2004 when GUI-based OSs have been the norm since the early 90s? Bloodlines' computers weren't very realistic.

As far as I know the WoD is not our world, but some more dark and gothic version. Like look at the buildings downtown LA with all those gargoyles! So they old style computers fit right in. I read somewhere that with VtM V5 the WoD is actually our world, so this would be some kind of difference...

They had a George W Bush presidency. Just a bit of creative license. Mitsoda noted in an interview that they knew porn wasn't actually made in Hollywood, but went with that plot anyway.

in the world of darkness the technocracy driven desire to instill absolute skepticism into human mind has caused a general stagnation of creativity and technical progress so it makes sense

the writers were geniuses

you wouldn't want to shoot porn in a city full of pretty but talentless people who dream of making it big on screen


wait what

Agreed, and I find screwing with technology somewhat to be kind of essential for this setting. Not only because the actual state of the world would make the Masquerade impossible, but for artistic reasons as well.

I've noticed all the best horror movies lately have made themselves difficult to pin down in time, with a disorienting mix of modern and outdated tech. I've kept hoping WoD would pick up on it; seems like it would be a perfect choice. Creates a sort of uneasily semi-apocalyptic feeling of a stagnant society in a ghost world, somehow unaware that it's coming apart at the seams.
