Vampire: The Masquerade® - Bloodlines™ 2

Dear Paradox Team, First of all, I would like to congratulate you. You are, without a doubt, the most brain-dead company I have come across recently. Thanks to you, I have finally realized that the people running such large corporations are not as experienced, knowledgeable, or cultured as one might think. You have proven to me that life and becoming an executive at a company have nothing to do with intelligence or knowledge. Due to the stance and decisions you have taken regarding the events surrounding a leader like Atatürk, I will no longer buy any of your games, nor will I let any of my friends buy them. Even so, thank you for proving that even if someone is completely dumbass, they can still become an executive at a major company.

If you look at my other reviews you can see how i usually do them, but in all honesty not for this one. I never have played the first game so i went into this without any expectation on whether or not it was going to disappoint the franchise or make good of it. the game is meh, i wouldn't buy this if it was on sale unless the sale was 95%, but only to try it out. the combat sucks and wonky, the leveling up system and skills are linear, and the only thing that makes this game enjoyable or two characters, the protagonist and his partner, Fabian. every other one sucks, the story is good but its heavily carried by Fabian and the past memories segments. i do not recommend this game.

Had fun, is that not enough?

A deeply flawed entry that should never have been named as a Bloodlines sequel, more about this game fails to land when compared to the original, honestly comparing the two is quite unfair. As a stand alone World of Darkness game I actually think it has some pretty commendable elements, the core characters are decently well written and portrayed well by their actors, but most of the dialogue occurs between very few of them, I guess you'd call it extended cast characters, they really didn't get much to do other than participate in or hand out a few side quests. This is really Fabien's show and he steals it wonderfully, though I can't imagine it having the same impact on repeated playthroughs. If I have issues with the writing I'd say it feels very targeted, it's clear this game was pandering to a specific audience, and I don't think they were VTM or World of Darkness centric, it certainly is at the forefront and I can see that rubbing people the wrong way. The combat is just engaging enough and just varied enough to make it enjoyable, but it gets a little repetitive towards the end as every major section is flooded with combat encounters, usually against the same two or three enem…

Dude I missed this game :(

The game is awesome! I enjoy playing it and now that they've made 2 DLC I'm enjoying them as well. I am playing all the vampire clans and find that every clan has it's energy in the game. I hope they make Vampire: The Masquerade-Bloodlines 3!
