Tales of the Aggronaut

Jeg gjorde noget i hår som jeg ikke har gjort i lang tid. Jeg købte et nyt spil på Steam til fuld pris. #shock

Jeg har ventet på det spil i over et årti og nu kommer den endeligt i denne uge.
Det drejer sig om Vampire The Masqurade: Bloodlines 2.

Jeg var rigtig glad for 1'eren, så jeg syntes godt jeg kunne bruge €60 på efterfølgeren der er blevet kælet om så længe.

Ugh, my fears for the new Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines 2 were confirmed. It's deeply flawed and RPG lite, most choices don't matter, it's more like flavor text.

Surprised this game still came out, it should've been cancelled once the years of development hell set in. The Chinese Room was not the right developer for it, and we ended up getting a poorer game due to this bad decision.

While Seattle looks good in this game, everything else is quite mid and poorly thought out. I kept my expectations low, still rather disappointed by this game, though.

Bloodlines 2 cuts character creation, RPG systems, and guns — what’s even left?

Bloodlines 2 is finally releasing — but fans are already mourning what’s missing. Here's everything that's been taken out.

Windows Central

Man, Vampire: The Masquerade-Bloodlines 2 seems to get less interesting the more I read about it. Day One DLC which unlocks the ability to play as either Lasombra and Toreador (big yikes, as these should be base game clans, Paradox is tripping balls).

What's worse, not being able to play the whole game as a Malkavian. I believe the freedom to play the game as any Clan and also experiencing narrative divergences based on your Clan would've been far more enjoyable. An upgrade that I feel was due is being able to define the hairstyle and clothing of the player character. Phyre has a decent design at the very least, as a masc presenting individual...The aesthetic of the character leans heavily in nonbinary territory. If the Chinese Room handles that aspect of Phyre well, I see this as a win!

Still, I long for the freedom to play as a Malkavian and to experience the unforgettable prospective of a Madman; I never believed that The Chinese Room should've been chosen to handle this game, as it was already in development hell. It was a desperate play by Paradox, as they knew something had to be done to salvage it as fans were frothing at the mouth for another Bloodlines game. The backlash will likely come either way now.
