If I had one criticism, I think the combat system could be a bit better tutorialized within the game itself. It takes players a while to get the hang of it, and better tutorials could help that. Heck just integrate this video into the codex.

I can't stand first person hand to hand combat. Since there are no weapons, i'd rather play full stealth/social because i will absolutely not play some faggot ass magic caster.

>IGN: This is further limited by the fact that you can only equip four Disciplines at a time, and only one from each category – so, for example, you can't mix and match two different clans' movement abilities to create your own hyper-mobile playstyle. I don't see the wisdom in these restrictions at all. I also don't really enjoy that each Discipline can only be used once in battle before having to feed again, since they each have their own separate pool of power points, instead of having them draw from a common pool of stored blood that I could spend however I like.
That basically killed any hope I had for the game, holy shit, how can developers be THAT stupid. Power fantasy was basically the only thing this game had going for itself

The difference is that critics nowadays somehow have less of a spine and will give you a 8+ just because they got a review code.
The fact they're giving it all sixes should tell you something considering how much they let slide.

It's blatantly unfinished, man. You usually have animators do the important (key) frames, and have juniors do the inbetweens (transition) frames, while you step in sometimes to make sure the intent carries into the finer motion. Whereas here, it looks like someone stopped the juniors mid-work and just said whatever, ship it.

It's completely unfinished, only key posses frames and basic computer calculated movements between those. Artist is supposed to go back and keep adding and tweaking frames, to smooth it out, but I guess they've ran out of time lol

guys my game flopped what do i do now
reminder that this website runs on unmaintained 10 years old code the current team inherited from moot and they treat it as an ad farm
the only recent updates to 4chan has received:
- removing IP counters in threads to hide and empower samefagging
- removing the public bans page to hide unjust moderation
- removing the mod feeedack option from the feedback page to hide mod abuse
mods have no accountability, bans are arbitrary and vague, the ban page often doesn't even show the post in question
therefore you are ethically obliged to shitpost and ban evade as much as possible

Players can't be trusted. They will use 1-2 abilities and then say game is boring. Gotta make them play the as intended, force playstyles and variety. Look at Skyrim, it's all stealth archers. Developers know what's fun for you, shut up and eat your peas.

>Other than paranoid schizophrenia
The funny thing about you saying this is there is a link to your last thread where you went apeshit and showing that you not only ate the same retard that’s in every thread but that you can edit you replies. So ultimately you are a samefag and you can’t prove other wise. In short get fucked you pathetic retard. The games going to flop and you spent all this effort for nothing.

Correct. Jannies are faggots who farm engagement from bad threads to keep the site afloat, and jerk off to interracial pornography in IRC. Completely delusional troons that contribute nothing to the site.

Paradox hijacked WoD and attempted to replace all of the old content with V5, because they wanted a money generating property that's cheap and requires off-hands approach. As you see, they mismanaged it like they do their other games.

Based and correct. By the way, IDs are a one click toggle for rapeape the Indian admin but he refuses to enable them on /v/ because schizos and discord cliques drowning out legitimate users with spam artificially increases engagement stats for ad revenue. The IP counter was removed so your favorite boogeyman can push a thread to 500 posts without getting called out and jannys make and protect fetish porn threads while mods will always approve their ban requests for using nono words because /v/ is a discord colony moderated by transsexuals like naemuti

40% of the game is a rehash of the first game down to winking at you with signs going "well, this is a reiteration of the popular level..." and some story bits along with the OST, 30% of the game is interesting shenanigans with liquids and Extra Hard Levels and another 30% is complete shit where it takes a detour from the actual game and makes World of Goo's chapter 4 but shit to make a commentary on how a World of Goo sequel would be bad, actually, replacing it with gravity puzzles, golfing and a mediocre point 'n' click adventure. The ending ends in absolutely fucking nothing. I wish the entire game was the optional Extra Hard Levels because that was the game at its best. Also the OST is the best part of the game throughout it and it's just the community banding up to remake the OST of the first game.

I still remain positive but cautious. It looks solid at the very least, might even prove to be good. It's not Bloodlines though that's for sure. Then again, part of it has to do with the time and circumstances the 1st game was made if we want to be realistic.
At the very least it managed to warm its way somewhat, based on what's been known and showed compared to the circus it was few years ago.

I'm pretty sure there's quite a few videos of people playing the first couple hours of the game. They're mostly fans of Vampire the Masquerade (or World of Darkness in general) so they'll be hyping it up but you can see how it looks and runs.

kek squared. I’ll spell it out for you ESL. A schizophrenic like Barry can go into an FF thread, reply to literally every post with some incoherent garbage about FF14 or 15 and keep the thread bumped with ragebait. Nu4chan is engagement farming like twitter and rapeape would rather use hiroyukis money to pay a dev to try to stop vb than tick a box for IDs on /v/ or implement a implement a minimum character limit for OPs to stop threads beginning with “.” and a twitter screenshot. You’re white knighting for a lazy and moronic indian currently begging the FBI on twitter for help stopping the ban evasion site while his staff are troons with cp collections.

As I said, this isn't gonna happen unless somebody esle replies, you can't continuously bump from one IP. And if somebody else DOES reply, how the fuck does an IP counter or addition of IDs help? You think a schizo'd stop posting and others'd stop replying if everybody could tell that the posts originate from one IP? Fucking delusional is what you are.

Of course it wouldn’t stop them posting. Like I said, the point of removing the IP counter and not using IDs is artificially boost activity by enabling the worst people on the site as well as culture war ragebait and twitterers coming here to make le epic shitposts. /v/ is the second biggest board on the site and activity collapsing because it was actually moderated for once, like bring back the primary/secondary/tertiary content rules, would be bad for hiroyuki’s ad revenue and paying his debt to goodsmile.

>enabling the worst people on the site as well as culture war ragebait and twitterers coming here to make le epic shitposts
It didn't change a thing. Actually, no, it did, it made posts crying about samefags whenever the IP counter didn't go up far less frequent, so that's a positive.
Another positive thing they've done is adding a cooldown to make ban evading on cellular networks harder, though for you that's probably a negative going off what you posted earlier.

So now you’re back to simping for the trannitors and explaining why nothing needs to change and that’s a good thing. Kek, that’s why there are multiple communities and innumerable autists that do nothing but shit up this place. Clearly adding more captchas will work if we pretend most of the spam isn’t caused by the fact that everyone knows the jannys make the porn and chuds lost threads. The issue is trust in moderation and people here have none because they know the janny applications are fake and used to cover up discord nepotism for people who hate them. You’ll probably make some faggot point about how I’m just suggesting more moderation in a different way, I’m not. I’m suggesting things that staff would do if they didn’t hate you, even /pol/ is treated better lmao. People like you encourage the ban evaders even more than the actual mods do, this place is full of beaten animals that are happy so long they get their janny approved brap, fat fetish or 3D black woman ERP threads.

Let’s not forget gacha threads. Janny protecting all of those except the horse girls one is perfectly fine with the mods since the only thing they care about is posting rate and fighting the culture at against their users. Some janny hating a particular game or squatting in an erp thread that’s permanently on the board is fine if they do the important things like making the board worse

But the good news is that RPGDrivethru is still selling V20 rulebooks as print on demand, so you know what to do.

Outstar works for Paradox, can't trust anything she says
>>723491570
It's slimier than that. She was running interference by harping on a specific aspect that a series newbie didn't understand.
Years ago, when Brian Mitsoda was suddenly fired without any (public) explanation, she made one off-the-cuff remark that implied he deserved it. Something to effect of, "you don't know what was going on behind the scenes" in response to someone complaining about his firing. /r/ing a screenshot, if anyone has it.
I get it, shilling is literally her job, but there has to be better ways to handle these things. The Discord messages she was responding to in THAT screenshot were deleted by mods shortly after, even though they were correctly spoiler-tagged and included a "these are unsubstantiated alleged leaks" disclaimer. That server's a fucking cess-pit.

I read the latest WTA CYOA novel and it's wild how they write their politics into the story. Werewolf as an IP is pretty receptive to that I suppose since werewolves are a bunch of retarded rejects from modern life but even if you accept that some of the stuff they write just jumps out of the page and screams "this was written by a crazy person".

The main antagonist was a wyrm spirit or something like that and a black spiral dancer. I don't remember exactly how they worked but it was somewhat obscure/esoteric but in a good way. Then there were the Get of Fenris guys who like you said are right wing now. I didn't mind it as much because I was never invested in the old lore. It's lame but it is what it is. What really got me was how much contempt for polite society the characters had. Like, I remember they were building a police training facility which apparently is basically demonic (wyrm tainted) and pure evil on every level. Or like how the spiritual conflict neatly lines up with mean right wingers being rude to all the homosexuals, trannies, and other freaks who are of course the good guys. I kinda buy it, even though it's annoying. Werewolves are modern mortals who are forced into the periphery of society by their conditions. I buy a crazy hobo high school dropout who spends his days with other social rejects being into all that stuff.

I played VtMB 1 at release here when I was far younger. I would have honestly bought absolute dogshit if it had been done half way competently. As in, "we tried", participation medal award tier. Put some skills, some mechanics, try to get a half way VtMB 1 successor. I would have bought the new game if it had shit quests, shit maps, and shit characters, as long as they did.
What anger me is that TCR didn't even try. Or failed so much and so hard it's as if they didn't even, once.

So let me get this straight. The game is short as fuck and barely has any content. To make this even worse, half the content is taking you away from the character you created to play as the developer's retarded little pet character Fabien. Now the DLCs, instead of making up for the lack of main story content as Phyre, all force you to play as OTHER other characters again, further splitting the content between multiple fucking nobodies? Why didn't they just, I don't know, MAKE A FUCKING RPG WHERE YOU PLAY THE CHARACTER YOU CREATED?

That's probably why they ditched her imo. Same with Mr Damp, that long haired cleaver dude on the promo material. They're too distinct and people associate them with HSL vision. Thus they got the axe.

looks surprisingly pretty decent, i just wish some of those npc attacking animations were a bit better. i mean some are good, but they clearly used an intern or something for stuff like 0:35. Fucking baby steps, no dynamic posing, distance moved isnt matching the urgency or movement of the animation, just weird amateur shit. which is bizarre because some of the other npc attack animations look fine. must be a wide array of animators working on npc combat

It comes with being a walking simulator company, and not a RPG. Two completely different mindsets. With a RPG you give players the choice and mechanics to create their own stories, and to play their own characters. You're happy when they do so. In a walking simulator, instead you embody a very present main character which talks about himself in a narrative that talks about himself with disembodied voices talking about himself in long walking sessions.
TCR were nominally forced to create a RPG but really didn't want to. They "fixed" this contradiction by having you spend 50% of your time in flashback playing as Fabien in the Fabien walking sim. They really didn't want you to play a RPG.

this has indicators of a potentially decent animator, because the key poses are good, but like the other guy said, this reads like he was rushed or ran out of time. they are letting the computer interpolate a lot of the performance without having proper breakdowns. given the decent composition and story poses, im willing to believe this was someone being rushed rather than outright bad at their job

Which in itself is grim when you consider that they were made to make a sequel to a game they've never played, from a genre they've never developed in and with themes they've never explored. "Bloodlines 2" is a Chinese Room experiment where Paradox tells them what they're supposed to make but they never once understand the thing they're making.

The issue is, they're not good at books either. There are some walking sims with genuinely pretty decent writing, like Edith Finch. TCR never managed to land one of those.

Yeah, they're kinda just bootleg vampires until plot setting forces you to be a real one. TBF v5 is sort of drawing a logical conclusion from the offset of the first vampire saying blood is getting weaker and weaker but nWoD is shit because it's trying to have their cake (simplify game mechanics, write new lore, remove "problematic" lore like the sabbat or the rapists and whatever) but also they want to eat it too (keep the same continuity so that it's recognizable instead of some whole new setting like DnD did)

eh... even Malk is more unique in terms of it's adding some neat foreshadowing and responses but the majority of the game is fairly similar. It's a good approach to a class system where each class gives you unique-ish opportunities but it isn't it's own wildly different game they have to program and design separately. When you combine that with the character specialties of your social stats and what you can put on it does end up fairly unique but even then the events don't change. It's got replayability but it's not a
>wizard/int class is entirely separate game and series of events into the endgame
Which never happens either other than VN type of games like Disco

In early 2000s, Thinbloods were basically the character you rooted for because they were at the absolute bottom of the vampire hierarchy, the sad reflection of _you_ because you were at the absolute bottom of the vampire hierarchy while still being a vampire, a source of envy for some because of their resilience to the curse of Cain, and plainly well written. We had rules for playing those, not that most players wanted to play those, but they were like an ideal. Like Golconda: you're not supposed to play a Vampire Buddha in normal play, but they still exist, and by their own existence they shape the world and the setting, etc.
How did we go from "Thinbloods are more pathetic than you and that's very pathetic" to fucking Thinblood alchemy and collecting disciplines like pokemon and V5 expecting you to play Thinbloods and fucking getting all the Elders jailed in a castle just to make it happen.

Hard disagree. The Pyramid is neat for lore, but terrible for character-building in an actual RPG. "Woah, unsanctioned fledgling!" like VTMB's magebab is the only way to do it with the Pyramid in play, and that gets boring quick.

Thinblood were well written back when they were a natural part of the game's coming doomsday scenario but then WW was like "muh metaplots" and actually went through with it, so the only conclusion left is playing perpetual victims and leftovers. Surprisingly Night Road handles the whole v5 post awakening thing rather well though the game fucks up at the later half. Someone said it was because Paradox and WW took the leftist copium and decided you should either play victims permanently or pay for being privileged like with W:tA. I can only shudder at how terrible any 5th edition that comes out for Mage and the other splats will be

People really don't understand mage, you don't need to show every single aspect in a Mage story, it's kind the point to have too many stuff for one single story to ever cover it all.
Even the extreme reality destroying magic isn't really supposed to be in the hands of a player character either, it's like if every vampire game was about antideluvians.

Vtmb's unsanctioned fledgling was an exception and there's plenty of ways to work or start in the pyramid and then have your character divorce himself from it later. It was somewhat stifling in terms of how your Tremere was forced to participate in it but it made them unique instead of just being "vampires, but wizards" and supplemented the Tremere having a relatively mediocre clan curse in relation to them getting many different types of magic

For one the destruction of the Vienna Chantry was a 5d chess keikaku by Lord Tremere, and the Camarilla branch of the Tremere recreated their own Pyramid anyway. And everybody in Camarilla is keeping tabs on those Carna retards and even support her movement, hoping she will just kill herself eventually and save the Tremere the trouble.

Consensual reality breaks all crossovers with Mage and anything else in oWoD. WW tried to patch it, badly, by saying consensual reality only impacts real humans (supernal something something whatever real reality vampires are real whatever whatever God), but it is a fact, that MtA, utterly cancer everything it touches in a crossover in the oWoD, badly patch put aside.
I don't think it's a bad thing. I happen to adore MtA. But let's not pretend it's not a shitshow when you want to integrate it into a crossover with Vampire, Werewolves, fucking Gheists, Mummies, oWoD Changeling, etc.

No, he didn't. BJD reveals that while Saulot took over his worm body and took control of the Council of Seven, Tremere managed to transfer his consciouness to Goriatrix. Again, because he keeps doing that.
Than the nuking of the Chantry was the final "fuck you" from Tremere to Saulot, that solved the Salubri problem once and for all. Now Tremere is living in Gortiatrix's body, supporting his clan from the shadows.

The Wyrm and Cain can coexist in the same setting with few bolts and nuts being bolted on forcefully. Nothing a few good midnight oil will not solve. The fact that the entire reality is dreamed on by normies and the laws of physics are literally written by humanity is far more intrusive in any crossover.
NWoD threw all of this to the bin for "you're a mage, you get magic powers, stfo" and is far more easy to understand and crossover with. I wouldn't say it's an improvement, but many people are loudly speaking it is so. I think NWoD mages are a waste of space and anyone playing it is retarded, but I must regretfully admit that there is a decent sized amount of people who just want to play a dude casting fireball, not entirely rewriting the rules of the universe.

Awakening mage is not exactly bad, but to me it feels like if you took one single tradition and made the entire splat about it pretty much, it's very limiting, also the metaphysics are less interesting, it's basically gnosticism but instead of the demiurge, it's a small group of super powerful Archmages that control the physical world and don't want anyone to ascend to their level.

No lmao, either market Vampire 20 to them as a Noir-ish vampire game heavy on politics or Hunter as a Supernatural RPG and introduce the vampire stuff. V5 has a lot less cool stuff in it and it's a bit of a mess to run
I would have pirated if it had at least one cool or hot vampfu like the original tremere girl but TCR only added brown middle eastern ugly women.

Lou still remains hot in a "dimitrescu mommy vamp" kind of way. For the rest though I think might agree based on what we know, unless you like ebony or mulattos since there's also that Toreador leader with the big butt and pretty enough face.

I do think there's some kinda paid review cabal in the games journo industry. People pointing out that the eurogamer reviewer gave veilguard a 9/10, but that just reminded me of shillup's video where he said that all his journo friends hates veilguard as well, but he was the only one to give it a bad score. maybe the critics only get to say how they feel because paradox didn't want to pay the toll

No, it doesn't, because the rest of the game isn't animated so poorly. Did you forget? That's not a short film, that's the cutscene after the final boss of an entire game.

Realistically, it probably is a "first draft", given the lack of key frames. Animations take time to make, and it's not uncommon for developers to put less effort into the later stages of the game. It's the early shit that gets hyper-polished.

It actually is plot relevant that you were the baddest motherfucker around even getting called the "Slayer of Cairo" and everyone knows who you are and what's your deal and you need to get your powers back because surprise some Tzimisce bitch marked you. The only reason why Phyre is an elder despite having to go through the same journey a neonate does is just to have him diablerize Fabien so he can be in your head.

I'm not talking about Caine or the Antediluvian or even a Methuselah , and neither was that anon. You took it too literally. Phyre is supposed to be the most powerful vampire in all of Seattle, just that he was handicapped through shitty plot contrivances. You could've very well been a neonate but they needed Phyre to be an elder so Fabien could exist in his head.
