Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, Thread 2
melkathi replied to Katphood's topic in Computer and Console
Read an article saying development of the new version of the game is already far along, past alpha (which should mean it is in beta), and that we'll see a gameplay trailer in January. They need 4-5 months of beta to get it to a point where gameplay is presentable for a trailer? -

With a name like that, I would not publicly admit ever coming across that development team. What would people think of me! -

I just assumed it was a Sherlock Holmes short story. The Hound of Baskerville The speckled band The Chinese room -
I have played through that a few times. Some missions are annoying. Others super fun.

The Chinese Room Devs talking how awesome TCR is. Then you realise that TCR is short for The Chinese Room and that they have been talking about themselves the whole video. It's a bit awkward. -

In general I would advise against holding one's breath when it comes to games development. How much more when the game is already many years delayed and on its second Dev team. -
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, Thread 2

Hey, you could be a nekkid hot woman in Saint's Row reboot. People still review bombed it for being woke but Vampire always had a bit of eroticism in the genre, and you can't cut that out. It isn't a vampire story without some seduction. Some forbidden promises whispered in an ear. The lips slowly traveling lower. Without the goosebumps as they brush the neck. And the white flash as the fangs come out and pierce the flesh. and you know why they only let me paint cats and not write anymore -

I am open to them proving themselves up to the task to make a fun game. It turns out even Werewolf: Earthblood was actually good (in an AA or possibly Aa kind of way). The WoD has potential for good games. -

Interesting change of protagonist. Could be fun. -
In the good old days that personnel record would be in the physical rulebook, and the game would ask you to enter your Employee Number at some point.

Random video game news... the critical eyes have it

My PC can't run it anyway. By the time I upgrade, digital distribution will be a thing of the past, so I won't be able to buy it even in the bargain bin. -

Up to 12 years. They are facing 2-12 years. So the full 12 is highly unlikely. -
I saw it in the newsletter, but I said "If Mamoulian War doesn't inform us, I don't click the Claim Button."

As gameplay goes, Neocore did something unheard of for many early access Devs: listen to feedback. I strongly disliked early builds, but the release version I had more fun with than I expected. Played the game through once. I don't know if I'll return for a second play through, but I am not much interested in a Christian run and not at all interested in a tyrant run. My main problem is that the game has the biggest disconnect between writing and gameplay you ever encountered in gaming. The premise is that Mordred and King Arthur kill eachother, and when Arthur's body is sent to Avalon, something goes wrong and the dead can't rest. Nobody dies. The game has permadeath of your characters. Also, people get killed the all the time. For me this takes away some enjoyment. Other people won't care. I'd rate it somewhere between KA1 and 2. So with the BruceVC game scoring system that should work out at 65, with possibly higher for anyone who isn't bothered by that story problem. One of the good things is the many characters who can join you in Camelot.

@Keyrock you should see boardgame geek. There are basically roaming boardgames hunting for games to downvote or upvote. "Rating this 10 to balance out the inevitable 1 review with intent to balance out 10s" Ran across an account who had rated 6000 games 1 out of 10 -

melkathi replied to Hurlshort's topic in Computer and Console
I wonder if review bombing games that did a year long epic exclusive might be counter productive. So let's say I am a money person at a publisher and I see the game made X on epic and then I try sell it on Steam and get a lot less than X. Will I look at the negative reviews and say "ah, a crowd of people didn't like me selling on Epic, so I'll now only sell on Steam to make them happy and get more than the X I made on Epic from Steam" or will I say "Steam sales were disappointing. The platform is not performing anymore. Let's sell more on Epic" or will I say "Oi, Steam, get the reviews in check... Please" -

Saints Row is now on steam at a deep discount. Getting review bombed by the anti-epic and rightwing crowd. Even has reviews with the text: " Only bought it to reviewbomb and refund" I had forgotten what a cesspool the Steam community is. -

The old mmo thing has gone into single player. Honestly don't know how or even if I feel about it. On the one hand, not a fan of companies selling nothing. On the other, if my game purchase does not increase in price because someone else is willing to shoulder that cost so they can play a few days before me - I have other ways to pass the time those days.
