Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

amazing rpg

It's a very fun game. I recommend getting the unofficial patch and another separate patch that will have the display fit your computer screen. Also, if you have an apple computer, I recommend getting an app or something like that for the game to properly transfer over to because, from what I have found out, this game is meant for windows type computers. Other than that, everything is the bees knees.

Overrated piece of buggy crap (yes, even on Unofficial Patch). Also, some spoilers: + Some decent story ideas and elements. - To their (or just my) detriment, however, I feel like I didn't experience them to their fullest because I lost interest in the world and characters halfway through bc of how boring the gameplay loop and experience was. + Some decent lore, I guess (although it didn't seem like anything revolutionary) + Wide variety of quests, quite a many different characters with their own stories to tell. + The skill tree is fine, I guess, although progressing it is very slow. There's several skills for various applications. + Female toreador has sick-ass nails to show off when lockpicking doors + A bit clunky but good dialogue system. - Clunky combat in every way possible. Melee or gun, doesn't matter. - Buggy as hell - Accumulating ammunition gets overly difficult and the lack of became such an obstacle that I had to resort to cheats to speed through the final 1/3 of the game - No actual sprint system. Was there dodge either? I dont even know, nor do i care at this point - Very limited clothing options - No character creator - Tiny, boring maps. The streets barely feel lived. Yes, vampires live in the shadows of the night, but this is LA; where's the nightlife, where are those bustling streets regardless of time of day? The whole city felt dead (and no, it doesn't suit the game's themes, bc its still ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ LA.). A more alive setting would've been great for immersion. - The whole hunter chapel chapter was totally random. The hunters barely had any plot relevance at all. Why? They could've literally made for a way more interesting faction in the whole story. - A few extra animations and methods for feeding would've been nice. - Money is so hard to gain that it would've been nice if there was at least some option to gain more via searching streets or stealing from people. Especially as ammo costs quite a lot when bought. - A few bosses where you can literally softlock yourself if you don't come prepared enough. The gold medal goes to that one sabbat / vampire leader guy on Downtown. I don't even remember his name anymore, lol.

fun, with the unofficial patch because combat has bad balance early game

It's rushed, buggy as all hell and is held together with duct tape and community made patches and yet it is one of the best RPGs I've ever played. If you're willing to put up with the quirks of an older game, this is a great game. Farewell, Vampire.

sosexy so fun

if i could i would definetely have say gex with this game

Yeah audio clips, cameras go out of bound constantly, combat encounters and resource management is a total pain, the end of the second act is really like Orientalist... but, BUT, it's still like some of the best immersive RPG gameplay you'll ever find...

It’s a one-of-a-kind game with a great storyline, very well-written dialogue, a significant impact on the world, many classes to choose from that truly change the gameplay to a large extent which provides a lot of replayability. Interesting side quests, characters you’ll remember for a long time, and the best adaptation of the World of Darkness to video games. Unfortunately, it also has not small amount of flaws poorly made melee combat, tons of glitches, and practically every main mission after Chinatown turns into a shooter with an absurd amount of enemies. But despite these flaws, it’s definitely a must-play for the experience alone arguably the best vampire game till this day, with a damn good written story and characters. (Also dont know how does the game work without unofficial path ive only played with it)

This game is truly amazing. There are some very minor flaws, though to be completely fair no game is perfect by any means. But despite that i think this is THE best game on Steam i ever played. It has an amazing soundtrack, atmosphere, combat, leveling system, an expansive world, unique and funny Non Playable Characters, a fantastic story, and replayability that is sorely missed in this current year of gaming. As this is my first time ever playing Vampire The Masquerade, i wholeheartedly believe that other games of a similar genre most likely wont ever feel the same like this one. I highly recommend anyone who is a fan of RPGs to experience this fair yet challenging game for the first time as i did
