Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

It has so much heart but the combat is game breakingly ♥♥♥♥!!!!

The graphics are way out dated and it very much feels like the late 90s while playing it, but its still better than Bloodlines 2. Starting to think people at home could make a better sequel using bloodlines 1 era assets. Once you get past the quirks this game is still amazing.

Лучше rpj про вампиров и одна из лучших атмосфер

very cool dialogs & characters, great music and atmosphere, ok'ish story, almost ok combat. Didn't like the dungeon crawling parts that heavily rely on combat, which is just not good enough to support it. Also, hated all the mazes... The sewers maze especially, you run in sewers for 30 minutes while train of dark souls bosses chase you, constantly scream and periodically hit you while you circle same places and look for exit & key...

[h1]Flawed but fun.[/h1] Apparently the devs ran out of time and the patience of their publisher, and were working with an incomplete framework, so the final acts are quite an unbalanced grind if your vampire build is more social or stealth, and possibly even for the warriors. The ending is abrupt and does not deliver what was promised. Many of the narrative arcs peter out unfinished, sadly. Still, it is charming and worth playing, particularly the opening acts, assuming you can tolerate some jank and weirdness. This game had a lot of potential, and you can really feel the love and care put into it. It is fun. Software and game development tools have advanced far in the 2 decades since it was first published, so I think this game was a bit before its time. The same effort and talent today would create a much more complete experience.

O elemento RPG é pobre e mal utilizado. Pegaram uma franquia que usou isso de forma magistral e despedaçaram o rpg gerando apenas uma aventura leve e com ação repetitiva. Triste. Ainda sim é um jogo bonito e bem ambientado, pecaram apenas na sua estrutura como a franquia que é. É um jogo medíocre e que sinceramente não vale mais do que uns R$ 70.

10/10. A true cult classic RPG masterpiece. Even today it shows how role-playing games should be made. Modern devs should learn from this and take notes.
