why people even like it

it is boring

Why?

Mee too. /v tricked me into buying it. It's just unpolished and boring.

This. they re-use character animations, the hubs are tiny, the combat is fucking awful and unbalanced and the horror sequence in the old-house goes on way too long.

What a bunch of faggots.

the fucking writing is amazing
hubs are too small as said.
But i really love it.

this is because you have shit taste and you should feel bad

I bet you skipped the training level with Jack

If you bought, you din't listen to /v and got more than you deserved anyway. The fucking thread pastas specifically tell you to pirate and not buy.

It was only $3 on GOG tho

And it was free in any of the links in the pasta, and you still gave money to Activision. Your point?

I'll bite.

>they re-use character animations
Like every game in existence? Also if we're talking facial expressions, I doubt there's any game that has matched them in video game history, maybe Witcher 3.

>the hubs are tiny
To explore? Sure the volume isn't large, but they're packed with quests. The game is quite long for a single player game as it is. It would be quite a stretch to call them "tiny".

>the combat is fucking awful
No, it's simply mediocre. Frankly, the combat in VTMB doesn't stand out in a bad way relative to Deus Ex, the Fallouts, the witcher series etc.

The combat being extraordinarily bad is an overblown meme.

>horror sequence goes on way too long
What the fuck are you talking about? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're being intentionally contrarian here considering the level is agreed upon to be one of the best ever designed.

>hubs are too small
I guess compared to open world games they are, but they're also mostly filled with unique and interesting side quests. There's no point in making bigger hubs if it's just empty or has a bunch of filler content.

It is a bit unpolished but it does plenty of things well that most people can overlook it. Combat isn't amazing but it's still fun when combined with combat disciplines.

i more compare it to deus ex 1. like hong kong has many streets and alleys and buildings packed with shit, to do and steal and people to talk to while vtmbs first area only has like two streets.
still it's packed and you can easily spend 5-10 hours in the literal first part of the game.

>tfw I still have my physical copy
>tfw I can still install it on whatever I want without gog/steam/malware
Life is good.

>nu-Sup Forums

Actually you can't on any up to date Win7 and beyond machine. Well you can install but it won't run unless you run a fan patch that will actually crack the game.
MS removed a component of their OS used by some old DRM schemes as it had become a vector of attack of the OS, and as such all old games that used it have become unplayable unless cracked (let's not delude ourselves in thinking publishers would offer patches for 10+ year old games, none did).

But then you know, DRM only hurts pirates.

Yep
>simply mediocre
Nice way of putting unplayable. Forcing me into third person so I have to watch the shitty punching animation is vomit inducing.
>you're being intentionally contrarian here considering the level is agreed upon to be one of the best ever designed.
Yes everyone agrees. I'm sure you think that everyone loves Ravenholm and didn't think it went on far too long as well.
see I'm 28. You honestly sound like your trying to fit in way too hard.

Your age is irrelevant. You could be 68 and still new to the board.

Odd, it works fine on this win7 machine without the patch.
Haven't actually tried it on 8 or 10 because Fuck 8 and 10.

uhh both
were me, dumbass
i like some parts and dislike others

I didn't mention age anywhere you fucking pathetic tryhard. Ironically, you saying that basically confirmed your teenager status. Kill yourself.

It has a soul. Unlike most games being shoveled out today. If you genuinely can't appreciate this game for what it is, you're either underage or new to video games.

oh shit, read the post wrong ignore

Are you up-to-date on security updates?
Did you perchance install the fan patch? (in which case you unknowingly installed the crack too).

Nigga just use guns then

The guns are fucking shit at the start of the game and ammo is low.

nu/v/ hates good rpgs, pretty sure soon we'll have deus ex threads with "was it overrated" as the OP

The first area in VtMB is pretty densely packed with side quests and people to talk to though. The dialogue system in VtMB is also more in-depth than it is in Deus Ex. There might not be stuff to steal in the hubs, but there are side areas during missions and a ton of items like research books, occult items, weapons and ammo, and blood packs to find.

>I didn't mention age anywhere you fucking pathetic tryhard

>I'm 28. You honestly sound like your trying to fit in way too hard.

???

Yeah, up-to-date, no patch.
All I've done is set it to run in compatibility mode.

Are you actually retarded?

he didnt do anything wrong

Can we turn this shitty bait OP into a proper bloodlines thread? Who /toreador/ here?

Honestly I too didn't like the game it first because I didn't understand how leveling in this game worked. Now it's one of my favorite games and have spend 60 hours on it

ISOLATED

???
we're discussing the game.
people just have shit taste

You can get it to work with some command prompt stuff. It's still a good idea to use a patch to fix bugs and stuff but you can even run the game with only the last official patch

pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Vampire:_The_Masquerade_-_Bloodlines#True_Patch_Gold_Edition

Weird, should crash once you try starting the game past title.

Piece of shit Such a fucking waste of otherwise good carbon

>true patch
nice try tessera

Reminder that the sabbat did ABSOLUTELY nothing wrong

>Nice way of putting unplayable. Forcing me into third person so I have to watch the shitty punching animation is vomit inducing.
Ok... sure? Nothing is "awful" or "good" in a vacuum you troglodyte. For a western ARPG, this is par for the course. Unless you can prove that many aspects of VTMB's combat are actually awful compared to other games in the genre, then the gameplay can't be called "awful".

>Yes everyone agrees. I'm sure you think that everyone loves Ravenholm and didn't think it went on far too long as well.
You're not seriously comparing the length of Ravenholm with the Ocean House, are you?

Anyway, even then, the Ocean House got its awards DESPITE being one of the least popular games when it came out. That alone makes its claim as one of the best levels ever much more reliable than popular games getting awards.

You were implying he actually asked about his age, when he hadn't.

I only linked that because it shows the commands required to reactive the DRM that Microsoft disabled but I do prefer the True Patch because Wesp still makes unnecessary changes in his basic patch that cause confusion and spoil the atmosphere

>faggot OP desperate for (You)'s
>retarded posters eager to give him some

Meanwhile, I started my 2nd playthrough immediately after my first.

I've seen that people don't like how the Malkavian are portrayed in this game but I do appreciate the unique dialogue. I'm seeing new sides to some of these characters.

>but I do prefer the True Patch because Wesp still makes unnecessary changes in his basic patch that cause confusion and spoil the atmosphere
like what for example?

I usually play Malk, have done probably 6 or 7 games with them over the years. Dementation and Obfuscate are just really fun.

Gonna do a Brujah next time I play, but I want to do a True Brujah type. Obviously going to put some points in melee/Potence/Celerity, but was going to focus a bit more on getting a high research and trying to use all the dialogue skills.

Did you know werewolf eyes move after he's killed ?

plus patch eyes are fucked and disappear when you get too close to them

I always really liked the concept and setting but felt like it was too unpolished. It sucks because I don't think a newer and more refined sequel could ever be made and still retain the spirit of Bloodlines nowadays.

Is Toreador good? Male toreador is so cute but i don't want to ruin my first playthrough with shitty disciplines.

this must be the game I was thinking of the other day. I was trying to remember a game where when you killed certain enemies their corpse's heads or eyes would still follow you around as you moved.

Wesp "restored" some dialogue to Mercurio near the end of the game about him acquiring a SWAT sniper rifle that he'll sell you. However, your only responses are to refuse it, with one response being something like "No thanks, I like to kill up close" even if your character is built to use firearms. I looked it up because I thought something was wrong with my game, and I found a thread on another website with other people being confused and wondering what was going on. Wesp posted in that thread saying since the SWAT rifle isn't in the vanilla game, he doesn't let Mercurio sell it, but he wanted to "restore" that dialogue anyway. It just confused a bunch of players.

He's a friendly guy and I've talked to him before about various things relating to the game, but I really wish he would finally leave the vanilla game alone in his basic patch and just leave everything for his plus version.

And that people would stop saying he's "continuing the devs original vision with his plus patch" because it's not all bad, but it's definitely not the same quality as the vanilla game.

my cock is sooo fucking hard

Yeah I've seen that. The eyes roll around a bit like every 10-15 seconds. The wolf also looks oddly happy after being crushed to death.

Is there anything else?

>what? someone dislikes a game I like?
>he must be shitposting

Toreador has Celerity which is basically the most OP discipline in the game. It turns you into Neo from the Matrix where you can literally dodge bullets with it.

>Celerity
Does it work with melee? Guns are awful in this game.

It only happens with the werewolf, no other enemy does this.

Another "restored" dialogue issue with Jack in the very beginning of the game. During his introduction he says "Uh, why don't we step out back here?" when you're already outside of the theater and there isn't really anywhere to go. Your player says "I'm fine where I am" which seems like an odd refusal. It was cut from the game because it doesn't make sense.

Fuck off to your moba trash of choice you retarded underage

The early pistols and SMGs are bad, but the shotgun is decent. Guns get to be a lot better and more powerful than melee once you get a few points into firearms and get the Colt revolver in Hollywood though. But yes, Celerity also works with melee just as well.

You are crazy, playing for the first time right now and it's the only game that makes me feel like New Vegas.

>moba trash
implying i dont think that is also trash

What's should I set money to?

The Chad Fledgling

>becomes stronger than ancient hundred-year-old vampires in like, a week
>the literal first vampire is his chauffeur
>gets jumped by a werewolf, leaves
>completely disregards the masquerade

-10

setting it to negative numbers gives them wings

t. zimisce

One more thing is that for some reason, Wesp made it so bumping into female NPCs makes them say "buy a watch". I don't really understand the point of that, and it's pretty strange. If they said get some eyeglasses or something it might make sense.

>noclipping around just to make walking around some hubs faster
>go to lucky star motel
>accidentally clip through a door
>werewolf decapitated head on the bed
Shit, i got spooked, i though after the velociraptor i wouldn't be surprised like this.

Is the head always there? i don't remember it from my first playthrough

It's supposed to seem like you asked them the time, but they are pissed off so they respond like that

Join the anarchs at the end game to find out.

If you don't care to, the head is there for when you enter the room after Griffith park if you tell the Taxi driver to get you to join up with the anarchs. Damsel and Nines are holed up in that room and it is revealed that Nines blew up the werewolf he fought and took his head as a trophy.

I love Nosferatu!

It's always there but you only get to see it if you side with the Anarchs

noclip straight up your ass

Ah I guess that makes a bit of sense but still seems weird to be asking that over and over, it was better IMO when they didn't say anything

Fuck tremere and fuck white worms.

There's also Giovanni, Followers of Set, Ravnos, and a bunch of other smaller clans.

I don't remember, that was long ago.
Spent tons of time in Redemption multiplayer

I started my first playthough ever as a Tremere a few days ago. I feel ready to scam and backstab

You can diablerize other vampires.

Blood theft and Blood boil will carry you whole game, op

>You can diablerize other vampires.
wut

my only problem with this game is that there are like 10 NPC models tops, I mean the ones that are walking around in hubs, the prostitutes etc.
otherwise very good, love it

Who is your non-Bloodlines vampirefu, Sup Forums?

noice, will focus leveling on that. Do you suggest upgrading the dialogue focused ones?
