I still think Bloodlines 2 can be good, nothing I have seen convinced me of the opposite.

I mean, it could have some good+ish parts but they'll probably be in the single digits.

The combat will most likely be trash, judging by that warehouse section they showed. But some of their other promises sound interesting.

S-Staying true to the original then!!!

India is willing to take back 18000 illegal migrants in return for kwa letting in 380000 legal migrants.

How will this affect Bloodlines 2's development though!?

Sorry, wrong thread.

That was over a year ago, the new trailer, while cherrypicking in small clips, looked more convincing. The idea of an ARPG in the vein of say, Alpha Protocol's mix of cinematic story driven dialogues and mission is still very much cool. That is if some ex-visual novel devs can pull it off.
It's a shame that they are trimming the clan selection and it won't have the unique social interactions each clan had in the original, but if you get past the game being called Bloodlines 2, it might just shine for its own merits

I think that the combat and shooting in the original is very good in itself, being literally a CS mod, with the exception of melee which was servicable. I expect VTMB2 to be better than that purely due to the focus on active combat disciplines taking the spotlight.

Regardless, juggling enemy groups through disciplines and frenzy feeding and managing hunters and Prince enforcers was legitimately fun, and too many normalfags conflate an RPG having shit weapons and early charcters handling guns like untrained shooters with bad gunplay, with VTMB gunplay being actually really good past some bad balancing.

Bloodlines 2 looking to turn out to be the best RPG in 2025.
