Looks absolutely kino.

Campbell being the anti-LaCroix is an interesting subversion. LaCroix is the Ventrue archetype. Sophisticated, powerful, scheming. Campbell is a thug. He talks like a thug. You're left wondering how the hell someone like him was allowed to become Prince. I believe that his thuggish personality is a mask, and he was secretly trying to help the thinbloods as best he could, which is part of why he got killed. But that's just a theory.

ok but I want to shoot guns

why does Dominate give them Hepatitis

>>719755880 (OP)
What an organic and natural thread talking about shit people really care about.

>>719757742
definitely not a shill for a game that's just gonna be a waterered down cyberpunk and a bastardized sequel to the original game hahaha

>>719758052
No no, not at all a shill thread but think about the implications of Count Fagula lying to Scrimblo Blimblo this is really interesting and wow I can't wait to learn more about this intricate plot haha

>>719758469
absolute downgrade in every way

>>719758469
honestly every outfit in this game feels like it was made for the male MC.

>>719758469
>vampire game
>clan is the cream of the crop, the proud ventrue
>put her in hilary clinton outfit

LMAO

vampire paizuri

>>719758692
I wanna make my vampire dude look like Kurt Cobain since it's in Seattle

>>719758928
...fuck that does sound cool.

>>719757742
It's a GOTY shoe-in so a lot of people are gonna talk about it.

>>719758692
IIRC in-universe you get all your clothes out of Dale's closet.

>>719758692
Some of the clothing is buttoned left over right, others are buttoned right over left. Almost all female clothing is buttoned on the left side. It's something you notice.

>>719758469
These devs don't fuck.

>>719755880 (OP)
I like how the Older Ventrue are tossing around Dominate to get their way but with how they're talking to the player and with powers now seemingly to be one at a time abilities I'm wondering why they made her an Elder.

It's like a reverse of how the first games protag talked shit nonstop and was Elder tier (Triple simultaneously disciplines) and yet the Prince and Primogens often just took it.

>>719763212
>player
>her
no

>>719757060
Yeah for Ventrue it's a loss. Pulling a Magnum out of your suit and executing someone you just Dominated fits a lot more than getting into fist fights. I really hate the telepathy

>>719763212
aren't you like ultra-cursed in this one?

>>719763486
Isn't it female only protag?

>>719763681
No
you're stuck playing as an eastern european, but you can choose male or female.

>>719763620
Yeah but they call you Childer and stuff, even though Princes would typically be around the same Gen as the protagonist. I assume they know who you are and that you're just recovering power after getting fucked so why antagonize your pier? Based on their gen Dominate shouldn't even work on Phyre so maybe they're doing the Ventrue thing where they turn it on whenever they want something without noticing.

>>719763749
devs and advertisers will shove the worse option aka the female one as the main one like in cyberpunk when the male character is objectively superior (Boston boy Vincent) just like fallout 4 (Nate the war criminal) and mass effect (john shepard).

>>719763749
I can't tell if these are different characters but okay I'll take your word for it. Is it that Fabien guy? Because he sounds a lot less interesting and I'm annoyed they're inserting a "Voice in your head" companion.

So are thin-bloods still a thing in the lore or what?

>>719763851
could also be a (likely unintentional from TCR's part) contrast with the vtmb fledgling who was an 8th gen embraced in the modern day, MC is a 10-12th gen embraced in the 1600s.

>>719763749
so which one is the male and which one is the female

>>719755880 (OP)
SHILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

>>719764005
judging how this game will go they'll sideline them to sidequests in shit which is kinda fucking lame it would nice to see some underdog stuff against the faggot head vampires

>>719764005
yes, you just aren't one like you were in the Hardsuit version.
>>719763935
Fabien is a Bruce Willis lookalike iirc, you apparently play as him in flashbacks.

>>719758469
One of the shill said this "sequel" would appeal to Tiktok zoomies. No idea how when you compare the fashion.

>>719764268
>appeal to Tiktok zoomies
I fucking wish the y2k revival would be absolutely sick and sell this game. but no they have to appeal to bugmen millenials and catlady hags with a boring Arkane studios style. Fuck corpos let their buildings and money burn to the ground.

>>719764216
i mean, what could you even do to fight other vampires?
spam Thinblood Alchemy for buffs like you're playing The Witcher?

>>719764689
go in the sun and laugh at their faces

>>719764514
Bloodlines appeals to the current y2k buzz too. Its very funny.

>>719763935
Rumour has it, this is what Fabien looks like.

>>719764005
Yes. There's some thinblood conspiracy at the center of the story.

>>719764076
The one with facial hair is male. Tell you what, though, this is one of those games where Paradox's PR people are always gonna say "masc" and "fem" and "female presenting". It's dumb shit, but it doesn't bleed into the game too much.

>>719765779
i was genuinely shocked that they didn't use "body type" in the gender selection screen.

>>719765779
They have a video on the 1st of October where they introduce the main actors. I wonder if they'll have them identify themselves as "I play Masc Phyre" or if they'll have the good sense to realize people will relentlessly make fun of them for that.

>>719755880 (OP)
Man they really nerfed her BOOBA huh

>>719766085
That was a pre-rendered CG model done by a Polish VFX studio for what it's worth. The Hardsuit ingame version was always a bit different.

>>719766140
The BOOBA,
*breathes in*
was NERFED!

I wish Cyberpunk flopped as hard as this is going to.

>>719766140
>>719766085
it still fucks me up knowing Hardsuit was lying about a bunch of stuff.
like how tf am i supposed to know what is real and isn't anymore?

>>719758469
Fuck. The old ventrue was perfect. Sexy but not vulgar like the malkavian. Sassy and cold. New one is.... Oh wait the new one is the same as the rest because is a fixed protagonist.

>>719766484
Lied about what? The new game is built 99% over the hardsuit version, including same characters, animations and maps. The new one will have near to 0 RPG elements.

>>719766597
it's more like 40-50%, and from what we know now, the Hardsuit version's RPG elements were more of an illusion than anything, they were still having troubling with making them work at all 3 years into development, they weren't anywhere close to done yet were still promoting their 3 DLCs and preorder editions.

>>719755880 (OP)
There are no beautiful kuei-jin women here...It sucks.

>>719768173
Kuei-jin as a race don't exist in 5th edition bro, they're just asian kindred now.

>>719768237
Then my money doesn't exist for the 5th edition of Paradox

>>719766829
>40-50%
They're using Hardsuit characters and locations. The verticality is also from hardsuit labs but worse because they cut the power of turning into mist.
>Illusion
They showed their own demo.
>Demo
The new version cut every RPG element to turn the game into a beat em up with long cutscenes.

>>719755880 (OP)
>Looks absolutely kino.
lol

>>719769679
>They're using Hardsuit characters and locations.
Some of them. A lot of the map is pretty unrecognizable.
>They showed their own demo.
The demo was smoke and mirrors. Hardsuit never got past a bunch of bullshit vertical slices.

>>719768173
They have a problem with showing Asians in games, but they continue to use racist stereotypes or remove Asian representation altogether, calling it "fighting" racism.The 5th edition is a clear example.

>>719758692
Correction: made for an androgynous model. Despite what they claim about always planning, TCR suspiciously didn't show male Phyre model until people started making noise about it.

>>719755880 (OP)
why are the women so hunched forward? golem get ye gone
also as you're on the marketing team please pass along to the devs to turn down the SSS radius holy fuck it looks bad

>>719755880 (OP)
is that scott adkins?

>>719770259
>Some of them
Most*
They're using Seattle and most of the important characters shown are from hardsuit. TCR is not even in America.
>Muh smoke and mirrors
The whole demo was shown and outstar said she completed the game. You're a shill full of shit.

BLOODLINES 2 is:
>visceral first person combat
>stylish action
>badass Discipline powers
>choice
>story-driven
>open world
>socially conscious
>brilliant dialogue
+ epic Bloodlines 2 characters!

>>719772638
>is
shit

>>719770259
How many times are you going to write smoke and mirrors

>>719772638
how much are they paying you because i wouldn't mind making a little biz from this

>>719772638
1-No way to avoid these fights and keep the masquerade
2-Repeating other games does not make the game stylish
3-Minimum of all abilities
4-Limited choice
5-Story orientation limits choice
6-World with closed rooms during fights
7-Maybe ALM?...nope, we will close our eyes to it, and in the game you will have black friends and an Asian enemy
8-Dialogue options that have no effect
+woke/censored Bloodlines 2 characters!

>>719772638
>+ epic Bloodlines 2 characters!
Such as? No, I'm asking for real because I'm curious what characters the game will have.

>>719772638
don't worry anon i recognized and appreciated your borderlands marketing reference even if these tourists didn't

>Looks absolutely kino.
thats a good one

>>719755880 (OP)
Jesus Christ this game is going to be shit.

>>719772610
>They're using Seattle
The layout seems different to the HSL version. There was no Chinatown in HSL's game.

>>719763928
They do it specifically because they know most players will choose male, while they can get good boy points in the process. Two birds with one stone.

>>719776187
Why are some people so desperate to think a great looking game isn't going to be great?

>>719755880 (OP)
kino, how will doomers cope?

>>719755880 (OP)
Why is this shill posting names of characters from a game that isn't out like he expects me to know who they are?

>>719778391
because he's paid to keep up with the marketing but hasn't figured out most ppl don't give enough of a shit to do the same.
or he's figured that the only ppl who give enough of a shit to post here are all autistically following the game

>>719775805
I can't tell if OP is just eliciting a reaction from us or if the team that is trying to advertise/shilling this can't read the room.

>>719778391
The only people who don't know who Campbell is are the people who haven't watched the gameplay demo. So not a lot of people, I assume.

>>719778391
I'm sorry but what kind of underage fuckwit doesn't know who Prince LaCroix is?

>>719773162
hopefully not much, since he's just editing battleborn marketing by randy pitchfork

>>719779215
no the other guy named after a food brand

>>719755880 (OP)
Remingder that male Ventrue was the goat of Bloodlines 1. Bloodlines 2 outfits look like shit compared to this kino. This looks like a vampire lord straight out of Underworld.

>>719755880 (OP)
Do not reply to the thread, do not give this streetshitter money.

>>719764689
Wasn't the OG plot going to be about you, eventually, diablerizing vampires. IIRC, it was going to be how you'd choose your "clan" in the HSL version.

>>719763749
From listening to their voice acting, the female sounds terrible compared to the male. Her voice is too youngish and sounds too tryhard to take serious.

>You're left wondering how the hell someone like him was allowed to become Prince.
Lou *is*, technically still Prince. The titled "Prince" of Seattle is just a glorified Seneschal. But ultimately Lou is still the one in control.
As for why Campbell: he /is/ a thug. Lou's. Remember how she mention her particular tastes for security personel in her message for Ryong? And then Campbell standing behind her in the flashback.
He is the pet security boy that got embraced and given the crown so that she can rule without the hassles of court.

>>719758851
Therese is still the GOAT Camarilla stuck-up bitch

>>719755880 (OP)
looks really bad

>>719780996
true and real

Reminder that Bet of Night is almost certainly a Second Inquisition snitch, and not working for the Camarilla.

>>719780091
Yeah, you "legally diablerized" someone, making you a full vampire

>>719758469
"gen z boss in a mini" type of outfit

>>719763749
>big head and narrow shoulders
fucking why, can't these people model for shit. You don't need to be a designer to see how this is retarded looking

>>719786405
I look like that irl tho...

>>719786489
my condolences

>>719758851
>You will NOT cum on me!

>>719775705
Giddings me? It was that uuuuuhhhh the fuck was that Gearbox game called

Wide shoulders are too patriarchal, sorry

>>719755880 (OP)
You deserve this job, anon.

>>719787285
borderlands..?

the only good thing that might come out of this shitshow is when you-know-who rips the female models for you-know-what purposes

How about a little truthposting, faggot? Like early reviews from actual people who've played VtMB 1 and now 2?

>>719763212
>>719763620
>>719763851
I think that scene with Lou dominating the PC is a flashback where we play as Fabien in the past, like the Campbell scene. It would make sense that they would be able to dominate Fabien.

Do vampires nut blood or is it white

I can't tell if this or the silksong shilling is worse

>>719792207
Blood, probably.

>>719792207
Blush of life makes them function as humans do.

The Second Inquisition is cool
I just wish the rest of V5 wasn't pure distilled faggotry.

>>719793664
The Family Reunion is cool and only cousin/dog/corpse fuckers dislike it.

>>719784939
>The Bet of Night
why is it called that

>>719795795
Obviously as a nod to the Deb of Night, but in-continuity we don't know yet the justification or if there'll be a payoff.
Gonna have to take a gamble on it.

>>719793664
It’s kind of a tidy in-setting reason players can’t just solve everything with smartphones. The more I think about it from a theme standpoint though it’s like being in a game where Delta Green is the antagonist.

>>719792207
Probably whatever your jizz was like when you were embraced. (Hopefully you took some zinc and ate fruit that day.)

Fuck Paradox for daring to call this piece of shit Bloodlines 2, Cyberpunk is more of an RPG game and less linear than this crap

>>719786317
Thank you

>>719797772
I kinda see what you mean (and interesting take) but at the same time, Delta Green doesn't really have the means to deploy death squads all other a global city for a prolonged period of time (unless things changed that much in CoC and I'm out of touch).

>>719799441
Yeah not precisely in reach but in terms of how it’s a mess of alphabet agencies that sorta knows something is wrong but not the whole truth about what they’re doing.
