[Luipadre]

Looks great imo and now all clans are included in the base game as it should be.

 

[Arsic]

Tremere looks based.

Good looking AW game. Looking like a day one for me unless there's serious performance issues.

 

[corgiix3]

Game looks solid. They reversed that day 1 DLC as well. Looks like I am in.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Glad they overturned that bad decision. I've pre-ordered it from CDKeys just now. Will play as a Tremere.

 

[Madonis]

I guess it's looking better, but any purchase from me will require a mix of good reviews and interesting spoilers. Either that or a decent sale. That's all I can really say.

 

[MDSLKTR]

Somebody here brought up Dead Island 2 type of redemption arc after being stuck in dev hell, fingers crossed.

 

[Gonzito]

 

[Punished Miku]

Definitely getting this on sale. Still Wakes the Deep is possibly my favorite horror game ever so it'll be interesting to see Chinese Room branch out with more traditional gameplay systems. Hope it's good.

Vampires in October is like PB&J.

 

[xrnzaaas]

It's good they've come to their senses with locking such a crucial part of the game, but for me it changes nothing and it's still going to be skip or deep sale.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

We GAF we going in now or nah? Won't be as good as Bloodlines and I'll lament the loss of Avellone and Mitsoda but it still looks decent enough.

Go play Cronos

 

[Punished Miku]

Go play Cronos

I bought it. I'll try and play it before the end of the year.

 

[R3TRO]

That looks good.

 

[Sticks]

I bought it. I'll try and play it before the end of the year.

I just bought the Premium edition for Xbox. Im a sucker a for vampires

 

[DKehoe]

There was a period where I figured this was never coming out. So I'm glad to see that they managed to finish it off and that it's looking solid. Nice to see the Toreador and Lasombra made available for the base game too. I played the tabletop game a little while back and played a Lasombra for that so I guess I've got an affinity for them from that.

What clan are you going to play as?

 

[Punished Miku]

What clan are you going to play as?

Interested in multiple clans.

Salubri
Toreador
Tremere
Thin-Blood

 

[GymWolf]

Now that crimson desert is a 2026 game, this is by far my most hyped game for the rest of the year.

Please be at least a good 7\10.

 

[Braag]

Game finally looks really good. New story expansions coming next year and no day 1 pay walled clans are all great news.

 

[Krathoon]

Oh great. They put all of the clans in the base game now. Great. I guess too many people bitched about it.

 

[GymWolf]

Glad they overturned that bad decision. I've pre-ordered it from CDKeys just now. Will play as a Tremere.

Same.

Standard or deluxe?

I hope i can buy the deluxe content separately if they are good enough.

 

[Punished Miku]

Leaning towards just waiting for the premium edition to get some discounts since it looks like you need all the DLC still to get the whole story. I'll be interested in reviews and impressions for sure.

 

[Sticks]

What clan are you going to play as?

Tremere because purple

 

[Mister Wolf]

Same.

I bought the standard. Not sure im interested in the side character stories just yet.

 

[AltruisticFormality]

Same.

To avoid confusion. The "deluxe" content is only cosmetic stuff.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 - Santa Monica Memories lets you relive the nostalgia of the original Bloodlines. To decorate your haven, this cosmetic pack features iconic items, including a Stop Sign, Ankaran Sarcophagus, and Voerman Portrait. Additionally, with Santa Monica Memories, your haven will be adorned with a clan neon sign each time you complete the game as a new clan.

The story content is part of the expansion pass with the "premium edition". That's 90USD on Steam.

 

[The Cockatrice]

It's still giving me mediocre vibes not sure why. Sure VTMB wasnt a masterpiece either, especially its last half, but those were different times, nostalgia, etc. I'll prolly get it unless it's a massive performance turd.

 

[Killer8]

Gone from a will never buy to a wait for a sale. Once they got rid of the idiotic clan DLC plan, the game can finally speak for itself.

 

[Krathoon]

Same.

Standard or deluxe?

I hope i can buy the deluxe content separately if they are good enough.

That is what I am planning on doing. I only bought the standard edition for now.

It seems like that way to go with a lot of games. Just get the standard and find some discounts on the DLC later on.

 

[Donkaapo]

Great, now that the premium clans come with the base game i can just buy the standard edition.

 

[mdkirby]

Go play Cronos

I second this….tho I'll def be playing this

 

[Null Persp]

I am liking the new videos so far and I'm glad that the two other clans are in the base game now. Let's hope for the best, I hope it'll be decent.

 

[Von Hugh]

If it's over 85 Metacritic I'll jump in.

Never have pre-ordered a game, and never will.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Don't miss the Malkavian Fabien Gameplay Trailer for Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, an upcoming vampiric RPG developed by The Chinese Room. Players will awaken as Fabien in 1920s Seattle to solve the mystery of their own murder. Through the Malkavian blood, he's able to gain unsettling insight alongside a flawed perception that blurs truth and delusion. Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is launching on October 21 for PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam, GoG, and Epic Games Store).

 

[The_hunter]

Interestingly, in the video they said the story was done by Chinese Room. Wasn't sure if the story was the same as the cancelled version of Bloodlines 2.

 

[Laptop1991]

So far, i'm all in for this game, i like what i've seen and hope it delivers on release then i will buy the game.

 

[Sticks]

Im hoping it'll be a surprise hit like Deus Ex Human Revolution.

 

[Von Hugh]

Interestingly, in the video they said the story was done by Chinese Room. Wasn't sure if the story was the same as the cancelled version of Bloodlines 2.

Probably not "exactly" the same, but they do share some characters between at least.
