World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 - VTMB sequel from The Chinese Room - coming Fall 2024

[whydoibother]

Butch MC with Millennial haircut who just woke from "100" year sleep. Forcing you to play as a gypsy armenian

Phyre is a character with a long history, but you will be able to customize them and choose their gender, clan, outfits, behavior, and so much more.

If "and so much more" mean haircut and ethnicity, then am GAME!

I don't like vampires who look like they've just left the runway. It may be true to the everything-and-nothing culture of today, but it's just so anaemic

Clearly someone needs to be phyred.

already massive RED FLAGs are showing. Butch MC with Millennial haircut who just woke from "100" year sleep. Forcing you to play as a gypsy armenian etc... this game is a massive bomb in the making.

To me the biggest red flag is the resonance part. Having a faggot called Fabien living rent-free in your head is one thing, but having to care what your food thinks of your clothing choices is a whole new level of gay.

11:23 And so it sounds like you're hinting at a system that we have in Vampire:
11:27 The Masquerade - Resonance, which is the emotional state of dinner, essentially, of your prey.
11:34 Yeah, absolutely. It's important to Phyre sometimes what the Resonance
11:39 of the character she's feeding on is, and she can push that, and she can change that or attempt it.
11:46 It might not work, as I said, depends how you're dressed,
11:49 depends who the character is and what they feel about how you've approach them.

vampires alluring their prey why i never

To me the biggest red flag is the resonance part.

The blood you drink having an extra effect depending on your victim isn't something unique to V5, it's just turned up to 11 in here.

They're gonna make you suck his dick before drinking his blood

I mean, penis has veins...

Speaking of haircut, the first thing Fabien must have convinced the player to do after sleeping 100 years is go to a barber !

The Man MC in the artwork looks like an emasculated twink while the woman MC looks like she regular takes testosterone boosters & other types of roids.

And to rename xirself to Phyre, because that name probably wasn't popular in the 1600s.

Lily's modus operandi in Redemption

Would have to have been a Tzimisce barber. Otherwise the hair would grow back the next night.

Do nails, hair, etc non-living tissue on undead follow the same rules as the rest of their bodies?

This would be handwaved considering there's not a single moment in Bloodlines where you have to go in for the day (except that bit after the werewolf). It's perpetually night.

The passage of time is referenced a few times, implying the events of the game span about two weeks.

 

[Abu Antar]

After thinking about it, the newest video is mostly disappointment. Voiced character, a dude in your head, seemingly not many dialog options. I didn't have high expectations to begin with, but it was all meh tier for now.

 

[Roguey]

Reception to this seems to be negative across all sites (even among their lib-left target market) so the good news is that it's likely Paradox has yet another multi-million failure on their hands and we'll get to see Paradox management commit seppuku. After the failures of the first iteration, Lamplighters League, and Cities Skylines II, I can't imagine they have much in the tank left. Bankruptcy arc on the horizon.

There are multiple times where rest is inferred

 

[whydoibother]

We need Paradox to survive, so they can release a competitor to Total War and revive that franchise somehow.
Creative Assembly and Paradox dying together would release too many unwashed nerds into the streets, talking to random strangers about how Hitler should've invaded from the south through Anatolia.

So what exactly did the mainstream not like about this?

So what exactly did the mainstream not like about this?

Animations, "Phyre", lack of superficial customization options, a mere four clans with more locked behind DLC.

Maybe she was called back then Phyrenesse.

 

[Bulo]

anaemic

I mean, they are vampires

I only hope it has a story I can sink my teeth into

 

[Moink]

People on the reddit claiming "Phyre" can't be an Armenian name because of the Ph and Y but I can't find a source for the claim the protag is Armenian.
