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

[The Wall]

I mean Atom:Trudograd is closest thing ever to Fallout 3, with just gorgeous isometric graphics and Codex is: "yaaawn, cool...I guess?"

Vampire Bloodlines 2 probably doesn't get talked about as much at Paradox quartal bussiness meetings as it gets on Codex. If 10% of Codexers donated 10$ every month for 1 year, we would have more then enough starting capital for opening of RPG CODEX game studio in some Balkan country with good programmers that work for laughable wages for the West. No, not kidding, my rent for good 30m2 appartment in Belgrade center is 250€. That's considered posh. Realms Beyond would have been EASILY made in Belgrade for 100k€, but that's story for another thread and some private messages...

Anyway, Codex gonna Codex

Codex LOVES drama, trainwreaks and decline

Atom: Trudograd and Vagrus: The Riven Realms, two excellent new cRPGs released this year barely get talked about. Even Colony Ship Early Access thread is ghost town

Threads about forum drama, situation in Middle East or Russo-Ukranian border, Todd Howard Temple or Cyberpunk funeral get updates and hundreds, upon hundreds, upon hundreds of pages. Let's stop lying ourselves, Codex loves FIRST PERSON, OPEN WORLD, AAA games and cuckold porn

If everybody had prestigious opinions, it wouldn't be called prestigious anymore.

The player character can't even join in fights. What's the point

Exactly. Seen that, done that case. Basically, there's nothing to discuss. A few cool quest ideas, whether to like or not the overall wacky turnip humor, praise the graphixx.

Compare that to "DE is not an RPG!!11" meltdowns, for instance. Or "does it matter if there's trannies in there as long as the game itself is good?" WotR flame. Or this epic clusterfuck. Yes, this is way more fun, imagine that. You don't have to like first-person games for that, after all, there's no fucking game.

I'm just here for all your creative and enlightening posts. Never was interested in the game. Bloodlines never needed a sequel.

It would have been nice to get another quality Vampire the Masquerade RPG and if it had to be called "Bloodlines 2" to get the greenlight, then so be it.

 

[Sarathiour]

It was never supposed to be a sequel, it was just marketing.

Which is extremely retarded, because the license is vampire: the masquerade, but it's the marketing department being big dumb dumb for the nth time.

 

[Morgoth]

They'll reannounce this game as a Remake, 'cuz sequels have become taboo.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

It was labeled a sequel entirely because Mitsoda was involved.

Brian also wanted to bring back some characters that had no business returning (like Damsel). Hopefully they will quietly forget all that.

With Mitsoda's exit, is there anyone (of importance) left that has a connection with the first game?

Lol, in this day and age, should probably expand that question to "do these people even know how to make rpgs?"
