Welp, it's shit

>>723936037 (OP)
to the surprise of literally no one.

>less content
What did you fucking expect????

>>723936037 (OP)
If journos are turning on it that means it's Certified JankKino.

I assume the reviews are just OG fans crying about how they Amnesia A Machine for Pigs-ed Bloodlines?

It got even lower

>>723936157
It doesn't have less content, though. Bloodlines 1 and 2 are basically the same length in a typical playthrough.

>>723936272
Looks like the shill is here.

>>723936318
Are they wrong? I saw a longplay of both games and both were 14 hours.

>>723936362
Yes, (You) are given given it has it doesn't have shit that VtMB did and its absolute ass in comparison.

>>723936653
What do you mean?

>>723936723
>no gun or melee weapons (no that retarded floaty shit doesn't count)
>no humanity
>no malks
>no frenzy
>no malks or nos
>no inventory
>no skills
You out the fact you haven't played VtMB, shill.

>>723936037 (OP)
It had so much hype leading up to it too, even with promising gameplay footage. I expect this will be the case with Crimson Desert also. 5/10, maybe 6.

>>723936653
Makes sense. Bloodlines was a game so devoid of quality that I despised it by the time I finally reached the end. It drained all the initial goodwill that I had for it. Sounds like the sequel doubles down on everything wrong with the first game instead of fixing it.

>>723936953
>It had so much hype leading up to it too
Where? Where specifically?
> 5/10, maybe 6
Score dropped already from 4.

>>723937064
More like you have never played it and despise it because everyone compare your dogshit to it so you have to say it was bad to cope. Now stop samefagging and start looking for a new job.

>>723936037 (OP)
I see multiple reviews talk about source material. I'm not sure these people understand that the source material has radically changed since 2004.

>>723936953
>It had so much hype leading up to it too
lol
>promising gameplay footage
LOL

>>723936037 (OP)
The 5-10 rating system is real and journos are effectively scoring it at 30%.

>>723937283
Changes so good their entire writing team has been fired multiple times.

>>723936037 (OP)
I still planned to play the game, but the dealbreaker was r**dit nospeheratu, he is unbearable even on short clips

>>723937283
V5 sucks shit.

>>723936037 (OP)
>all of those delays and updates
>it's shit
man what a complete waste of time for everyone involved

>>723936037 (OP)
woah....

>>723936037 (OP)
Vampire: The Massive Shit 2

>>723936037 (OP)
Jesus Christ. You basically never see games journalists go below 8/10. How fucking terrible is this game? 65 average critic score like does it CTD on the intro screen?

>>723936037 (OP)
'z-a won

Mid at best
Toothless

>>723936037 (OP)

Anyone who watched the Lets Plays could tell it was going to be shit. This is a surprise to no one.

>basically the same score as Forspoken
Grim, grim, grim.
>>723938386
there are tons of game-breaking bugs and CTD on intro or right after it, yeah
There's also a bug that depopulates the entire town, so you're just walking in an empty town
It's a mess

>>723937703
I know nothing about V5 other than the rudy meme, what's the deal with it?

>>723936196
The Troika game was jank kino
This is wokeslop

>>723938386
Journos go much lower on "safe" targets that have zero hype. Euro arpgs usually score like 5-6.5/10.
Nothing goes below 5 unless it actually doesn't work so that entire half may as well not exist.

I mean, I WANT a good Masquerade game, but that's just wishful thinking.

>>723938468
Did rigid3d animate this shit? Lmao

>>723936219
>crying
why do so many people act like you can't criticize a product

>>723938521
There is quite a few things but aside from Rudi there is this thing called the Beckoning. It is a supernatural call for all vamps 9th gen or lower to go to the Middle East, which means those left are higher gens. And for some reason V5 pushed Thin Bloods and a lot of them ended up being super special oc donut snowflakes.

>>723938587
Leftoids only engage in bad faith arguments. Worst of all, they have no business in anything, but they're busybodies.

>>723936037 (OP)
No way

Here is your Fat of the Night, bro, pic is the VA, a literal rando fat fuck "community ambassador" (meaning unpaid shill) doing the worst Deb of the Night impression as a new character "Bat", they probably let her write the lines too over how cringe it is and blatantly it is trying to copy Deb.

>>723938661
Wasn't there some thinblood leader in oldwod that could use multiple disciplines allegedly? What are they all like that now or something? Is Gehenna still thought to be happening any day now?

>>723938716
I remember shills telling me she's actually pretty entertaining lmao.

>>723938716
Man, HOW are these people so fucking confident?

>>723938716
gruesome acting

>>723936037 (OP)
If youbwere expecting something good you are deluded.

>>723937064
>Zoomer wants to fit in and accidentally admits he has shit taste
many such cases

The first one is also a shitty game so I’m totally not surprised

>>723938468
jesus that's bad

>>723938468
>the clipping on the hand at the end
like a cherry on top

>>723938661
I can't believe that all vampires are jewish and participated in the palestinian genocide!

>>723939061
so are you a werewolf or a hunter

>>723938468
Pretty crazy that nowadays in big 2025 we have smoothly animated SFM porn videos with crazy detail made by one (1) guy and then big studios with a mountain of money make shit like this.
It's gotta be on purpose, right?

>>723938468
I now feel sorry for any people who had genuine passion while working on this game. The shills have no excuse and need to be beaten to death on sight, but developers are bottom of the industry food chain with retarded suits calling the shots.

>>723936037 (OP)
I despise mob mentality. I still playing it.

>>723938468
Pure Kino
(theatre actually)

>>723939151
Most likely low skill and lower funding. Take some random people fresh from university or even those still studying, give them scraps and watch them predictably underdeliver.

>>723936037 (OP)
niggas waited 20 years for this

>>723938571
rigid3D does better work than this
This reminds me of 90s prerendered cinematics it's that bad

>>723939168
anyone with genuine passion for this game/setting were fired with hardsuit. Those left are all quirk chungus, failed normie DnD fans who never played the original but maybe spent an evening playing V5 on a stream with some other fat faggots.

>>723939252
i had been hoping it wouldn't get a sequel because obviously it would be crap

>>723939252
Please anon stop...

>>723939252
No, everyone with a lick of common sense were doing what >>723939323 described.

>>723939313
I haven't been following this so I have just guessed. There are usually at least a few people who want to make a game they're working on actually good.

>>723936037 (OP)
I refunded it, shit can't even run without stuttering on low with the framegen turned on and lower resolution. I'm able to play most games on ultra too. Zero fucking excuses.

>>723939151
consider the 1 guy gets all the money and has job security
whereas there are multiple people in those studios who get some money and have no job security
one environment just doesn't engender much passion

>>723938468
I don't know what you all are bitching about, vampires are supposed to be ferallike and faster than the human eye, if anything they are too slow and should have motion blur on their movements

>>723937283
I'd sooner play requiem than fucking V5.

>>723939474
>vampires are supposed to be ferallike and faster than the human eye,
not all of them all the time. did you even play the game? only certain vampires have abilities that let them move faster like that

QUICK recommend me a cool vampire game. I recently played Cabernet, it was an alright adventure game. What else? V Rising was shit.

>>723939272
Nah, animation quality is almost the same, with retarded head movements. All porn animators are amateurs who can only polish shitty loops.

>>723938893
theyre delusional

>>723939450
They don't have job security because they make shit games that flop and they don't get much money for the same reason.

>>723939834
bloodrayne is vampire kino, legacy of kain series has the best writing/voice acting in video games.

>>723936037 (OP)
>>723936236
So was the first game and it eventually turned out great. I'm still willing to give it a shot. The big difference is that I have far too large of a backlog and I'm not buying new games, especially at full price, while I'm working thru it all,

>>723940102
>So was the first game
can you prove that?

>>723940059
Yeah, but I played almost all of the old ones already, even the last Bloodrayne. Hell, I even tried to play VtM CYOA text adventure games (they mostly sucked both narratively and mechanically)

>>723940102
The first game was said to be great, just buggy. 2 is being criticized for more than bugs. Mods aren't going to save a game that is just kind of shit at its core.

>>723939151
i cant wait for ai to start doing 3d animations

>>723940216
unless there's mods that add weapons and stats it's not going anywhere

>>723936037 (OP)
Why the fuck did they give this to the Chinese room? They've never made a """game""" with actual gameplay and probably should've gone under about 10 years ago. I can't even really blame Chinese room as Paradox should've known from the start they weren't up for this kind of challenge.

>>723940596
Wonder if they lost more money funding this game twice then they would have if they'd have just let Hardsuit continue working for another 7 years

>>723938468
lol wtf is this shit

>>723936037 (OP)
The voice acting is DOGSHIT. I can't stress this enough.
Also every male character looks like a 13YO child. What the fuck is this trannery?

>>723939445
>I'm able to play most games on ultra too
No you fucking can't. This piece of shit game has a trillion problems, performance isn't one of them.

>>723936362
>they
What the fuck do you think you're doing?

>>723941564
desu i say they because it's an easy way to make someone mad for no reason

>>723936037 (OP)
QRD?

>>723939474
you are coping extremely hard if you think that's why they're moving like that

>>723939252
No, I was hoping for Vampire the Masquerade: [New Title] until 2021 when I realised the IP was so poisoned that it had become impossible to make a good game.

>>723938716
gold standard of videogame voice acting BTW

>>723936037 (OP)
>Bloodlines 2 unveiled
>has a lot in common with Bloodlines, but it is shit
>development rebooted
>4 years later it has nothing in common with Bloodlines and it is even shittier
Whoever is responsible for Bloodlines 2 at Paradox needs to be fired.

>>723941665
But it just makes you look retarded.
And that means everyone will disregard anything you write.
Because you're retarded.

>>723936037 (OP)
I didn't get that far but so far the game is just middling.

>>723940596
TCR asked for it. Paradox wanted to cancel the project after Hardsuit Labs fucked it up.

>>723939834
>7239
I'll also suggest Bloodrayne.

Hope locking the VAMPIRE main character to brown skin was worth the mass layoffs that'll be coming soon :)

>>723936037 (OP)
I did not need metacritic to tell me that, it was obvious it was going to be shit the second it entered development hell

>>723941815
>get mad over a word like "they"
>claim someone else is retarded

>>723939834
Not AAA, but still better than bloodlines.

>>723936037 (OP)
>it's a flop

>>723943053
that's arisu

>>723936037 (OP)
Wow what a surprise the troon game is shit..kek

>>723942753
This is 10/10compared to this shity bloodline games..

>>723937283
I hate V5 so much it's unreal. Even fagged up the fucking card game too.

>>723936037 (OP)
I already knew it was going to be shit on day 1 when it was announced, you really need to work on your pattern recognition skills

>>723936037 (OP)
I pirated it and isn't completely awful, just middling and bad, but it's insane that it's a full priced game.
Maybe it worked out for them idk
