Redpill me on this game. Is it really as good as they say? Is it a bit of a meme? If it's good...

the patch I'm talking about only fixes bugs and similar stuff, possibly adds widescreen support but I think source has that already. There are patches that add content but I wouldn't recommend them for a first playthrough.

It's incredibly janky.

For some reason people pretend that chinatown is bad and the "boss rush" on ming xiao and lacoix is 1/4 of the game despite only lasting like 15 minutes of a 30 hour playtime.

>gameplay was literal shit
This is what I made the thread for, people telling me that melee is better or something. I am a story fag, but I do appreciate when it is not a chore to play.

okay, and yet some of the clans are made to be harder than others, so it is not an unreasonable question user.

play toreador, max celerity, max firearms
combat becomes fairly fun

That's good, added stuff is not my bag, I want the authentic game as much as possible. Cheers user, any tips for starting out? Someone told me melee is infinitely better than guns and magic. Clan recommendation?

Dude, you're too dumb to have fun yourself. Go watch a streamer playing it or something.

It's shit from the sewers on because it just becomes killing waves of mobs. The only good quest in China Town is the one with the two old guys.

Guns stop being useful after a while and become a chore to use
And they're also janky to aim
Melee is just click click block click until it dies and it's the only thing that'll do actual damage as you progress through the game

>tell me what to think!
"No."
Now go play the game and use your big boy brain.
