First Two Hours Of Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2

I like what I see. Will definitely play it. Gatekeeping two clans behind a paywall kinda puts me off from buying day one. If I can find a cheaper key for it I'll pull the trigger.

My expectations were so low I'm actually impressed. I thought it was going to be a linear game but it's actually semi-open world. Very nice.

The combat looks like dumb fun. Punching people across the map lol
 
I've been cautiously optimistic about this game even through all the troubles. Seems like they may have taken the time t o actually make a good game which is great.
 
This looks decent? I'm surprised.

Environments look good, characters look ok. The combat is kinetic, when you punch enemies they go flying.
 
Theres....a....constant....inner...voice....what the fuck. I already got annoyed in the first minutes. Dont tell me the entire fucking game Ill hear someone describing every single fucking thing...Also just an fyi, that youtuber is like the most fake guy ever, he's literally "this is top tier" for every single game.

Welcome to modern videogames. There's got to be an inner voice if there's no permanent sidekick, can't be travelling in peace & quiet.
 
It doesn't look bad yeah, but it looks generic. A formulaic blend of narration, investigation and combat. Seems like this is the most we can expect from this kind of game, to be working.
 
Would totally love it if the city look like the batman knight game . Sadly its look generic af .

I expect this to be as good as Dead Island 2 ended up being after all of its development issues.

That is to say it should be good AA fun.
 
It looks much better than I expected, to be honest. But I will still wait and see. Locking classes (or clans or whatever) behind DLC is retarded though. Loved Bloodlines and Redemption, back in the day, so I hope this turns out well.
 
wtf so its not woke trash!
Alison Brie What GIF
 
Cool, thanks for that video, gonna check it out.
Edit: Opening film reminds me of Thief
So far it looks very atmospheric and nice actually.

Oh my dear sweet Lord - they stuck a fucking disembodied voice in the players head for constant dialogue!?
 
I don't mind it because the voice actor for the inner voice is awesome as far as i can tell.
In my opinion, it won't matter how good they are If they're omnipresent. Modern games seem to have this incessant need to have constant dialogue always forever. I cannot stand it.
 
is there no character creation?

There is character creation but hasn't been show so far in detail.

As far as I know there is no character creation. You'll have some level of character customization but that's it.

You can see a bit of that in the OP video around 22:50
 
Only watched some snippets but I like the night wintery Seattle. Will definitely play it.

Interesting how many games recently came out with that "you have sidekick in your head/hand" trope:

Cyberpunk 2077, Forspoken, Atomic Heart, Avowed, Ghostwire Tokyo, Bloodlines 2, just off the top of my head.

Of course, some handle it better than others.
 
This genuinely looks great,call me pleasantly surprised for once. I expected to be dissapointed after all the troubled news about it. The first one is a cult classic and this looks very promising to hold up to that legacy but we'll see.

It's a Day 1 right now though,unless some bad previews come out or something.
 
Dosen't look too shabby tbh, at least when we take this games development history into account. But not touching this until I see some user feedback of the finalised game.
 
Don't care what publishers think, I honestly can't see anything here that tells me the game is worth $60, it should be in the same category with RoboCop: Rogue Legacy price-wise with such poor gameplay, facial animations etc. But since it's Paradox, it'll take years before the price will be acceptable if at all. Like, it's $30+ here, whereas RoboCop is around 16 and they've almost the same lvl of quality and junk.

I'm not willing to pay that much for Bloodlines 2 and the fact that they're locking factions behind paywall is fuckin' disgusting, but it's Paradox so it's not even surprising to me.
