World of Darkness Vampire: The Masquerade - New York visual novel series from Draw Distance

[Heroic Liberator]

That's directly copy-pasted from the rulebook, there was a bit of a row about it from the "no nazis ever" crowd.

Matthew Dawkins (Gentleman Gamer) who is nowadays working for White Wolf has also went out of his way in one of his YT streams to say not only that they don't cater to 'nazis', but also that they aren't welcome and should fuck off from White Wolf products.

bought this have impressions in a bit

first thing I am noticing is that you can choose 3 characters, all pre-defined (what the fuck?)
a male brujah - Eric
a female ventrue - Amanda
a male toreador - Lamar
(names can be changed)

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Of course that the Ventrue PC is female and the Prince of the city as well.

By the look of the Steam achievements, game seems quite linear.

And the game ain't that short either:

 

[Burning Bridges]

A camera pan simulator?

A bad one at that by the looks of it.

Still tempted to impulse buy it.

Yeah still in the first part after getting embraced and not sure how much C&C this will have, I know it has multiple ways to fuck up and die/bad ending but it's probably pretty linear.. I would assume the three different character/clans have different stories though, so that's where potential replayability comes from..

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Which clan did you pick, Jenkem?

 

[Jenkem]

I always pick Ventrue as first playthrough since VTMB

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Likewise, although that'd be Tremere in my case.

Fuck it, I'm gonna spend the shekels and get it as to contribute to some fresh 'dex trashtalks. Gonna go with either Toreador or Brujah for thread variety.

Less than a minute in and I've already got my first cringe:

Bourgie-friendly... As an Eastern European, their twisted (mis)appropriation of Marxian language is truly infuriating.

 

[Jenkem]

Magnat which clan?

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Faggot clan.

the mets are the national league baseball team in new york. in baseball when you are at bat you get three strikes then you are out, you are a pup because you've just been sired

also the devs are from poland but the game takes place in new york city

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Well, decided not to cuck to an interested party during my trial...

Also, game should've implemented a skip to next choice function and/or proper save game one instead of just a save & quit.
