>I loved the combat.
The combat in VtMB is decent if you actually paid attention to how the melee system works. Different directions doing different melee combos keeps it varied and interesting, and then you still have feeding, Disciplines, blocking, maybe stealth, etc. and it's fun. If you just button mashed and never put points into combat stats of course it's going to seem shitty. I actually enjoyed it and never really understood all the complaints about gameplay until I realized so many people could barely follow the tutorial's instructions.

It's so fucking weird because I decided to play it because it was collecting dust in my steam library, and 20 hours in the game this guy makes a video about it and suddenly everyone I know is playing it. Same thing happened when I was playing DeusEx.

>Primarily, we are trying to deconstruct how gender and sexuality works a little bit more in this game so that it is much more complex, however 'attraction' still works on a he/she structure currently because of the way the system has been built. So if you choose a she pronoun, for example, vampires who are usually attracted to someone who is a 'she' will have dialogue specifically written to convey that, regardless of what your body has been customized to look like. If you are a 'he', you might get completely different dialogue.

Just like in my Vtmb

I never thought that the sequel was going to live up to the original in the way that old fans wanted. Even if it's good by its own merits, its still been over a decade. It's a new team, with a new studio, with a new style of game.

Why are we acting like goth culture wasn't always SUPER liberal?

Vampire the Masquerade is a tabletop game in the World of Darkness, there are five editions of vampire: 1st, 2nd, Revised, 20th (anniversary), and V5
Bloodlines took place in the 1st-3rd game setting, the new game takes place in the distinct and selling horribly 5th edition which is where all these screencaps are coming from
It's beyond terribad for more reasons than the political stuff and everyone who plays WoD hates it because Paradox smote the original writing staff who were White Wolf (the original publishing company) and replaced them with their shitty gender studies retards who don't understand settingbuilding or game design and it shows

everyone defending this with >b-but the guns sucked in the first game is ignoring the part where enemies would fucking react when you shot them, and you couldn't miss at point blank even with 0 firearms and the shitty starting gun

Same thing with melee. Enemies "reset" for the next hit from what we've seen in the demo, which looks really odd.

Liberals might've been a bit more rational in 2004. The original VtMB still criticized the left in some ways, and wanted you to think for yourself. I don't know if that'll happen again with 2, and Cara Ellison doesn't seem to be the most rational.

Man, there is something wrong with not being even slightly interested in VtMB 2. There's something deeply wrong with where popular entertainment went. Not just with this. In the eighties and nineties you had the reason to be excited for sequels. Aliens 2. Terminator 2. Doom 2. MGS 2. Etc. All mediums have gone to hell by way of committees and social justice commissars, crony capitalism and commie gobbledygook enhanced by social media. But what really takes the cake is how the general public just keeps consuming. Most franchises have been driven into the ground forever (Diablo, Deus Ex, Thief to name just a few). And the games that buried them sold well and brough profits. Most people don't even remember or care which is fine I guess. I just find it wrong that there isn't a shred of possibility that anything connected to this game will be good.

It might still be worth playing if I can be a White Male Ventrue and oppress all the poor immortal superpowered predator minorities with the power of Whiteness and Mindrape.

apparently a lot of people were unhappy about that because they just wanted to see movies with influence from WoD. it's also funny because i really think vtmb took some influences from the blade movie. blade's intro with the club isn't too different from vtmb's intro and walking into the asylum.

play bloodlust shadowhunter if you want more vampire vidya, closest thing i've found to vtmb. it has some dungeon crawling stuff and more puzzles, and you get telekinesis/mist form like vtmb2 is supposed to have, so it's still interesting and not just a vtmb ripoff.

By DAMSEL saying that, and you were supposed to take away that Damsel (like all vampires) was trapped and defined by their embrace: she's still a dumb ranting college kid with no big picture (like Skelter is still fighting authority as a 'Nam vet, and Nines is still pulling people together in the Depression). It does rule that communism would never work by simply showing that Vamp society always degenerates into power struggles and hierarchy, however.

The problem is not the flamboyant faggotory, they are avoiding the concept of beast and monster in the recent versions, one of the important aspects of VTM is how close the vampire is to his own humanity, and the older you are, the less human you are, neonate will have problems killing a baby, while an elder will slit the throat throw to the dogs without blinking.
Which its concept related to goth media.

you could seduce a couple other males as a male player too. it just wasn't ever really thrown in your face.

>

I have one question : is triggering people one of your concerns ?

100% yes, we are absolutely concerned that some content in the game could be difficult for players living with trauma or a mental health issue. For the Malkavians we will make sure to describe to the player what they may experience when playing. But what may be difficult for us is making some of the systemic or scripted events turn on or off selectively. We are moving away from the 'fishmalk' portrayal for this iteration of Bloodlines, so we expect the Malkavians to be a much more unsettling or scary experience this time around.

Rachel and I have discussed some ways to be kinder to players who might have PTSD issues in particular, and one of the things we are considering pitching to the team is a part of the accessibility menu where we outline the thematic content of each mission so that you can prepare yourself ahead of time for a particular mission, choose not to play a side mission that might involve some issues you feel uncomfortable about, or grab a friend or partner to play through certain content with you. What we may do is give players a run down in that menu of what to expect from Malkavian playthroughs so that you can make a more informed choice about whether you feel comfortable playing that way. That way, we are not changing the experience, but we are giving you space and time to consider when you'd like to continue.

Does that sound like a good idea to you? This is all still being worked out of course, but we really care about it, and I hope that our game can be considerate in a way that works for you. I'd also love to talk to you over email about what you personally experience as difficult in games, it would be wonderful to know more about how to design a game from scratch for these issues, so we begin from the start to make the system work for you.

Based, who needs good functioning gameplay?

With regard to the Voermanns, we know they are fan favourites, but culturally we all have a better grasp of how mental health issues affect people now and we wouldn't use such a trope again. However, though Malkavians do exhibit some aspects of what look like human mental health difficulties, they are also supernatural, and the 'voices' that Malkavians hear are other Malkavians talking to them, or flashes of the future, for example. We also know that many people with mental health difficulties appreciate Malkavians and like to play as them. So what we'd like to do is put more depth to these portrayals, and instead of the player just meeting 'wacky' Malkavian NPCs, we'd like to expand what it might feel like to be limited by your perception of the world as frightening or threatening (often with good reason), or how you might interpret things differently than other people. I think this would go a long way to respecting how mental health issues reconfigure your life, often in ways that are unpleasant or provide an obstacle. But we are still writing the Malkavian layer as it always comes last in the script, so it's all just plans right now. I hope that you will be happy with the result. Brian Mitsoda and Rachel Leiker have been instrumental in supporting and designing these better ways to accommodate the player and look at making a more immersive experience and they have always listened to my design input.
