minor technical issues

"The problem with the performance mode though, is that even on PS5 Pro the 60 FPS limit is rarely kept and VRR busting drops are frequent throughout the game – especially during encounters with multiple enemies in Bloodline 2's frosty open world. Throw in some sizable, nearly a second long stutters, the occasional crash which whisks your back to the PS5's front end"

Sure minor ones.

As someone who consumed A LOT of White Wolf material in the 1990s, I decided to not purchase the game the moment they went along with Chris Avellone's bullshit cancellation

Knew it from the start that this game will flop and be terrible.

Review from RPS

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 review

Chinese Room and Paradox deliver an entertaining, flawed vampire brawler wrapped in a compelling mystery. Just don't mistake this for its cult hit predecessor.

They quite liked it, as long as you know what you're in for. Basically a light ARPG, with bad sidequests but interesting main storyline and atmosphere

Cyberpunk 2077's in-game context doesn't matter if its marketing contributes to transphobia right now

During this week's E3, Cyberpunk 2077 developers CD Projekt Red released a new CG trailer starring Keanu Reeves, showed…

JK Rowling not "directly involved" with Hogwarts Legacy, Warner Bros. assert

Hogwarts Legacy isn't "a new story from J.K. Rowling", but WB won't disclose if the transphobic author is receiving royalties from the Potter RPG.

An attempt to pull "death of the artist" on an author who is very much alive and profiting from the world she's created.


Honestly, I don't see why we need a new wizarding RPG. Pottergame already exists, y'all.

Video game publishers are starting to use "anti-DEI" as a marketing meme

Following the Republican victory in the US 2024 elections, several US companies have experimented with "pivoting away" …

HI GUYS LET ME EDUCATE YOU ON DEI

All of which betrays an elementary or perhaps, wilful misunderstanding of what DEI is supposed to achieve. Central to the case for DEI training is that discrimination can be intangible unless it's aimed at you. As such, hiring or working strategies that try to reward the "best candidate" without reflection risk shoring up the systemic advantages that make it easier for some applicants to succeed. Tyminski's promise to hire based "solely on talent and merit", for example, overlooks that "talent" and "merit" are concepts cultivated by humans whose sense of fairness is shaped by their circumstances.

 

[Wildebeest]

I agree with all the sage commentators saying the only problem is this game being called Bloodlines. If this game was called "Vampire the Masquerade: Absolute disgrace of a game, worse than a cup full of sick" it would be easily worth a 10/10.

Thread 'Is nose ring theory true?'

We humans are judgmental. That isn't a good thing either!

But man has this one proved true over the last decade.

Apparently there is a theory about people with "nose rings" and just hearing this blew my mind... yesss So true.

Glad to see what was just an internal thought years ago becoming sort of commonly recognized, at least, judging by the views a video about nose rings gets lol

Pretty sure thats a dude.

I dont care about some stupid ass theory about women who wear noserings. What a dumb notion.

"Lib women"

Man Im so glad I dont live in the USA. Although Netherlands is getting more retarded each year too

 

[Plague Doctor]

My favorite dumb as fuck take I have seen here and elsewhere on the net has been, "It's unfair or we shouldn't compaire it to VTM: Bloodlines 1"

My brother in Christ.... the devs named the fucking game VTM: Bloodlines 2. Marketed as being the sequel to the fucking first game. What the fuck are you smoking to even suggest it is "unfair to compare it to it." They, the developers, wanted you to buy the game under the premise it is a sequel and comparible, if not better, than the first game.

So yeah.... yeah we can compare the two games.

This take is glorious at being so fucking overtly deflective and retarded at doing so.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Should of called it VtM: Nomad because that's what it actually is.

I think you are right, but at the sames time we can have measured opinions.

The game looks like a really disappointing follow up to BL1, that's for certain, but at the same time it could still be a worthwhile experience in its own right
