Gorth Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 The last two were clipping problems.... I got sucked out of the map at one place, and caught in a loop in another. I do seem to remember falling through the street in Chinatown somehow... I just kept falling and falling, seeing the town disappear above me. Of course, it was my first game and I was a Malkavian, so madness *could* have been part of it, but I doubt it “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darque Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 I had it happen at the warehouse, if you feed on someone near the entrance (of the building itself) after you dismount you'll fall through the ground I had it happen twice, so it's a definite bug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenghuang Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Okay guys, super secret time. Since Bloodlines is Source engine based there really is no reason to let clipping bugs mess up your day. Just pull up the console whenever this happens and type in 'noclip' without the quotes and you'll go all floaty and be able to pass through any surface in the game. Also you move a lot faster than walking, I use it sometimes to travel fast because I'm lazy. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atreides Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 If they fixed the memory overflow issue I'd seriously bump my rating of this game from 8.5 to 9.5. That's what's holding it back. Spreading beauty with my katana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkreku Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I gave it 7.8/10. I reviewed the unpatched version. It's really annoying when you genuinely like a game but you have to take every aspect into consideration. The two worst offenders of this are Vampire: Bloodlines and Boiling Point. At least I could recommend Bloodlines.. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atreides Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 The memory issue really made me feel reluctant to continue playing the game, especially when it kept repeating itself. If I didn't find the quicksave/quickload trick I would have quit, which is unfortunate. If there's something that would make players not want to continue playing I think it should be very significant in the game's overall rating. Spreading beauty with my katana.

mkreku Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 I did. It's a crappy platform game disguised in fantastic storytelling, characters and hippie graphics.

mkreku Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Hey, you still recommended Boiling Point...(which I should consider playing again now that I have a more powerful computer). Yes, I did.. a few months later after they released that ~200 MB patch. In the review I wrote that the game had serious potential but in its current state it was too buggy and flawed to be recommended to anyone. I also made sure to tell the readers look out for patches because the game might become great if the developers fixed most of the bugs. I can recommend it now, to anyone with a powerful rig. Also, it is really cheap now. I actually bought it to get the nice box and a prettier, prepatched DVD instead of my ugly, box-less, buggy review copy.
