Its painfully mediocre. With a few good parts and also a few bad parts
Witcher 3 with less interesting writing and even worse combat. painfully mediocre overall.
I thought pic related was pretty close to VtMB, especially in atmosphere but it plays differently enough to not feel like a clone. It's more of a dungeon crawler, and since it's indie it's pretty janky at times with some strange design choices, but is still pretty fun. And it even has some of the powers that are supposed to be in VtMB2 like mist form, telekinesis, etc.
I'm thinking about this too. No manual save is a killer though.
Imagine wanting to quit the game and go to sleep but you have to find somewhere to trigger a save point.
Stuck with Vampyr for around 3/4th's of the main story, it had some really neat design choices but the lack of variety ultimately killed it for me.
>handful of weapons to chose from, nearly all of them are shit except the 2handed mace
The constantly respawning enemies and level scaling ruins any sense of progression, and the game has god-awful pacing. It's solid all the way to the graveyard boss fight, then it just stagnates.
The combat is pretty neat and I enjoyed the morale system (bite people or dont) but it does gave its frustrating moments.
Still say its at least worth a try.
Good choice.
Its not too long but theres plenty to do, especially if you want to Platinum it.
Good lore too and all the characters tie together well. The game near the ends has a genuinely good moral/practical decision to make.
The game is jank though, keep that in mind. But its jank you can enjoy.
It's a good game, was something new from all the generic shit.
Too much flaws to be considered a "masterpiece though". I hope they release another game that fix's the overall issues. It really had the potential
Couldn't get into it personally. Tried it for about 12 hours but gave up.
Honestly they should've made the main antagonist the graveyard boss and have the story all lead up to facing her. It would've been way more emotional and cool. As is, Johnathan feels aimless and so do other characters such as the Ascalon Sheriff who just shows up, menaces you and then literally the next time you see him you just fucking off him with no explanation. Never gets brought up again.
The game has a beautiful atmosphere, great music and visuals especially considering its only a AA-game. The choosing who to feed on is also neat though with room for improvement.
But while the story can be good its usually too disjointed and the gameplay can become tedious with the constantly respawining enemies, reminds of Far Cry 2.
Also this lady was cute but really could've been developed more.
Hipster shit
>Vampire powers are fucking cooldown triggers instead of being like prototype
What fucking idiot thought this was a good idea? I don't want to use some piece of shit machete and gun I wanna use my claws and super strength that can decapitate a horse in one strike.
You mean like hitting other vampires with a stake and suck the blood out of them conce their guard is down?
The soundtrack is pretty decent too.

It was 7,5/10. Not a masterpiece, but 100 times better than modern snoy 3rd personshooters.

No I mean going rip and tear like in Prototype except with shortsword sized vampire claws.
I liked it more than Witcher 3, but then again I cannot by any means abide generic open worlds
6 out of 7 wrong.

I'm curious.
Great story, good graphics, trash gameplay.
1)You can't fight bare handed, but enemies can punch and kick, your only bare hand attack is a special move in which you slash with your claws, to use it from the beginning you have to unlock it from your talents board
2)You can't jump. Yep, it's one of THOSE games, vampires have superhuman reflexes and agility, but in this game they're stuck to the ground, you can reach an higher spot only if it's marked, in that case you will automatically teleport there by turning into black mist, BUT you can't climb obstacles, so if a shoebox blocks your path you can't even walk over it
3)No savegames. Someone already complained for this, but it's more complicated that simply not having to walk for a quater hour to find a savespot to not replay two hour of quests, each time you save your game a night passes, and health status of some patients or of a entire area get worse, to the risk that if some npc dies you obviously can't get any new quests from it
4)Vendors sells scraps. Not only street vendors but shops as well, this just ruins the immersion
Fuck lads, why couldn't I have turned her into a Vampire?
When I get back from vacation, I might actually determine myself once and for all and finish this game. It's been sitting in my computer since last year.
Because your face wasnt burnt and ugly enough.
The game could have used a fast travel option for sure. It's a solid B- grade game.
Good ideas, poor execution.
