Lol it is and I admit...I'm towards the end, but I guess I ate too many people?

Legit..just roaming the streets powerful vampires try to murderize me.

I just ate folk. Why is this wrong 🙁

Decent bit of gameplay:

That dude needs to work on his speech. Pauses are better than uuhs.

Anyway, the AI looks a little retarded but the game still looks phenomenal. I'm waiting on the first to go on sale but the second it does I'll grab it and give it a playthrough or two before this comes out.

The first game really is awesome.

For anyone interested, the first is on sale for ten dollars rn

Hmmm

Vampire The Masquerade 2 to Include Trigger Warnings

Delayed until next year:

Some bad news for this title. Both the lead writer and creative director have been fired.

Saw that. Wonder what happened, considering at least one of them, iirc, worked on the original.

Yeah, the writing is on the wall.

I'll pass on the game until I see it in the equivalent of the bargain bin: on some steam sale.

The game was SUPPOSED to be released in December. All the writing should have been done.

I swear this better not be some woke shit. The signs of it infecting this game have been there for the last year or so.

Now if it's to fix the wokeness inserted? Okay good.

From what i heard it’s because the writer made the story too dark and the publisher didn’t think an audience would like it.

Jesus christ it's supposed to be dark.

This is a setting where merely not going insane is considered a win.

I mean it's literally called the World of Darkness.

Yeah. Just a rumor so take it with a grain of salt.

I mean okay but with their past bullshit about trigger warnings and all this I think these fruitcakes would be sad enough that your reason is the actual reason

I should probably play the original sometime. I’d probably like it.

Damn right you should play the original. Great game.

Make sure you install the unofficial patch though. I do think it is automatically included with the steam version though.

How much does it cost on steam these days? Probably pretty cheap yeah?

I guess it depends on how you define "cheap". It's $19.99.

If that is too much then you could always keep an eye out for a sale. But it is worth it. And make sure you get the unofficial patch too. It fixes things and restores certain items and features that weren't active when the game shipped(like choosing a history for your character). The reason is because towards the end of development the game was rushed out.

Speaking of that, because of that the final couple hours of the game are more combat heavy than they might have been if given more time. I only point this out because you can create a character who barely has to lift a finger and can make people do things, etc. There are a lot of ways to avoid a fight, until the end. So make your character one that is decent at combat. My character was a blood mage so I was fine.
