Vampire: The Masquerade® - Bloodlines™ 2

First of, if you're wondering: I have played this game longer than the 5 hours listed here. But I had technical difficulties, so I had to run it without steam. After my first playthrough I have some things to say: 1. Since my pc didn't reach the requirements of the game, I had some problems getting it to run. It crashed at weird intervals from the game itself, sometimes didn't load properly and was overall a technical pain. When I got it running, it run quiet smooth with medium to low settings and still looked nice. 2. I am a real fan of the world of darkness and was an absolute fan of the first bloodlines, which I finished once with each clan. It was such a blast having so many options on how to finish particular quests, with stealth, hacking, dialogue, disciplines or plain combat. I also really enjoyed the roleplay aspect of it. After all the negative reviews I didn't expect much from bloodlines 2. It didn't have all these options for different quest completion. You can only choose your disciplines, not your other skills. The many dialogues make it roleplay-like, but the story is quiet linear. That said, the story is really, really good. I really felt immersed in the world of darkness. It has great characters, lots of plot twists and two really interesting main protagonists. I really enjoyed playing through the story. I even finished most of the side quests. It is not like bloodlines 1, but it is a great world of darkness game. 3. I liked the split gameplay, with Phyre having lots of fights/sneaking and Fabien having lots of detective work to do, which is, giving his Malkavian Blood, always good for a laugh. I would even say I liked the Fabien part a bit better, because it was mainly story and this is where this game shines in my opinion. 4. For all the waiting for this game, the different iterations it went through, the change of the studio even, this game went through development hell. For that it is really good. It is not like bloodlines 1, but it is a great, action-packed world of darkness game, with a lot to love. I would say: give it a chance, when it is on sale. If you have the right hardware, and if you like vampire the masquerade and you don't expect bloodlines 1, you should have a great time.

Почувствуй себя вампиром.

ce jeu m'a plus dans l'ensemble, même si il manquait l'aspect RPG du premier Bloodline. Et je ne sais pas si ça vient des sous-titres Français mais on à beau choisir un personnage masculin les dialogues sont au féminin... étrange

It takes you so much by the hand there's no point in investigating anything. Also not a fan of NO CHARACTER CREATION. Why are the disciplines already at superior level? I feel the creatures don't even know the rules very well. Or the setting.

Vampire Bloodlines 2 est davantage un jeu narratif orienté action qu'un RPG et c'est dommage. Si la partie narration est plutôt bien grâce au personnage de Fabien, l'action devient vite répétitive. Surtout qu'il y a n'a pas le choix d'éviter les combats. Vous n'avez rien contre les anarchs, ils vous tomberont dessus dès qu'ils vous repèrent (rappeler les pires moment de Vampyr) et lors des dernières missions Katsumi vous le reprochera si vous lui proposez de vous allier. Très peu de missions secondaires (hors faire le postier et buter quelques types) à la différence du 1er Bloodlines qui débordait de PNJ vous donnant des missions (le tueur en série, l'homme-requin, Pisha, etc...). Les niveaux manquent de diversité c'est les rues de Seattle la nuit quoi. A part ceux dans la vieille ville enfouie et dans le sous sol du parc aucun n'est marquant. Certains personnages liées à l'intrigue (Fabien, Lou, Tolly et Safia...) sont sympas et ont une bonne personnalité d'autres apparaissent puis sont évacuées au bout de 2h (Nix et Mère Poule) alors qu'elles auraient du être plus importantes. Bref le jeu aurait du choisir son camp: soit être un jeu narratif d'enquête basé sur des dialogues et des compétences de négociation soit un vrai jeu d'action dans lequel il aurait fallu jongler entre les disciplines. Mais l'entre deux ne marche pas. Dommage l'histoire m'a suffisamment accroché pour la terminer.

Эдакий киберпанк на минималках и с другим скином. Про главного засранца игры было ожидаемо и неожиданно одновременно. Интересный подход получился - это понравилось. Есть определенный элемент гринда, но не сильно утомительный. Есть некая система выбора концовки. У меня концовка получилась неожиданной для меня. Решил перепройти еще раз и посмотреть на результат. Для любителей романтических линий - их сюда не завезли. Общее впечатление - положительное. PS: Вспомнить бы геймплей теперь первой части, в нее играл лет 20 назад, так что в упор не помню )

9900원 주고삼. 처음에 개적화에 어설픈 전투에 쓰레기 잘못샀다고 생각해고 접었다가 다시 해보는 중인데 본격적으로 게임 시작되면서 스킬 이것저것 배우고 스토리도 괜찮고 성우들 연기가 좋아서 하다보니 집중해서 하게 됨. 전투랑 최적화 오픈월드 상호작용은 기대하면 안됨. 사실 오픈월드라고 부르기 좀 그렇고 옜날 게임들 처럼 그냥 스토리를 위한 조그만한 맵하나 돌아다닌다고 생각하면 됨.

Is Bloodlines 2 a good RPG? No. Is it a good sequel to Bloodlines 1? Also no. Is Bloodlines 2 a good game? I don't have an answer to that. Do I find it damn charming? I kinda do. If you are going to play this game you need to understand that Bloodlines 2 is a mix of three games. The first was a terrible action game trying to be a modern dishonored without anything that made that game good. The second is what could be salvaged from the first iteration of the game, and it is a barebones in gameplay and is at the time of writing still being updated post launch. This second game has a fairly good (but linear and unchanging) story, a surprisingly engaging combat system and enough meat for me to consider a second playthrough and certainly enough to make me play the DLC. The third game is a series of flashbacks that, I kid you not, got me to play the game through the second act instead of dropping it. These flashbacks are effectively playable cutscenes but they are the emotional core of Bloodlines 2 and damn if Fabian (closely followed by most of the cast of the '20s Court) isn't my favourite character to come out of this game! Bloodlines 2 wont be the next Cyberpunk 2077, but it is a game with promise. Maybe there will be updates that address peoples VALID criticisms and concerns about the game in the future. But as it is, I would say that bloodlines 2 is a game that is worth a chance because you may end up loving your time with it. I know I did

A great game in terms of scenario and intrigue. I was put off at the start with the fighting system and mechanics having expected one similar to the first one but once you've gotten along it it is a blast. Doing the side quests and being able to unlock most of the abilities made it really cool and enjoyable. Definitrely recommend when looking for a solid story with a great ambiance in Seattle streets, even though a bit more variety in the environments would have been nice.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the lag. Also, I got locked out of a room and had to restart a checkpoint. Very confusing, lack of direction in the tutorial too. And, it's too similar to Batman games.
