Why are you guys buying this? Are you all zoomers that can't into torrents or something?

Ok first boss was pretty fun, I wish there was more combos but I enjoyed beating the shit out of him like it was some first person final fight. Combat is extremely fast paced and you need to make liberal use of vampire run and jump to dodge shotgun blasts and pistols. They have plenty of shit you can gravity gun into enemies but combat is so fast it's difficult to see let alone use without the slow mo power.
Guns are pretty terrible. They are good for maybe one guy before you miss or throw them away because fire always empties the entire clip rapid fire. ( Or just fires one shotgun shell)
Im gotten a large amount of enjoyment out of the fact the MC can wear Neo's glasses while dressed up like a priest.

That's exactly what a buying thrall would say. I would know!

Yeah I do remember the twins use sex quite regularly throughout your interaction with them. Most of what Jeanette leads with when you talk to her is implications she's turned on by you. She also keeps a score list of people she's screwed too but they're Malkavian. They do whatever they want which might include playing at being a hornball and intentionally messing with your sex repulsed split self.

I've beaten the game. If we exclude some of the Fabien segments dragging on too long, I actually enjoyed the last leg of the game the most. I legit can't see myself playing anything other than Banu or Lasombra, the clan stealth effect rips, the only genuine fun part of the combat gameplay was abusing that plus the really good movement system to tear through enemies across rooftops. Haven't felt a game deliver that good of a predator experience since AvP2, except it only really kicks in for the last few hours, so eh.
Didn't dislike the plot as much as I thought I would, changing Fabien to not be a clueless thinblood was a good call. Detective Malk Fabien isn't exactly perfect but he wasn't too bad and I felt like his ending was executed really well. I'm also glad the fan theory that Fabien would actually be older than Phyre wasn't a thing, I've always found it to be a nonsensical idea. The most unfortunate part of the story is probably how static all the Primogen are, they feel like total window dressing and completely worthless to the Court. Also Onda can go fuck herself, easily the worst written character in the entire game and I'm glad I picked Lasombra so I didn't have to drink her rancid blood and got to make her seethe.
Also I find it hilarious that TCR decided to add that feature where clan icons light up for completed previous playthroughs, only people with severe mental illness are going to replay this game much. The Fabien sections that play out only one way and involve a ton of running around the map alone are good enough deterrent, but then you also have the lack of meaningful ingame impact of choice plus the ridiculously low amount of clan reactivity.
Overall I'd rate it a 5.5 or 6 out of 10 on PC, if I played it on console it'd probably be a 3/10.

Does anyone know why normal guns were cut? Is TCR trying to make some kind of faggy anti-gun statement, because I don't buy the whole "the nomad was in torpor for a century and is too boomed out to comprehend firearms" excuse.

I don't think those faggots can code functional guns desu

Unlike many many modern games I don't think it's political.
Based on the extremely poor animation quality of the rest of the game I think they were just too lazy or too incompetent to code ranged combat or make animations for the guns.

Was all of Hardsuit Labs' code scrapped and this version built from the ground up, because that version had guns.

I think so, this game was in dev hell for like a decade and I think I read somewhere it was completely rebooted 2-3 times like Dragon Age The Nonebinaryguard.

I finished playing the game, and honestly its a very average game. When you fight the hunters thats when the combat becomes fun. I don't know why, but it clicked with me. It made me feel like an actual elder vampire, very Kino, especially the shipping area. The ending was shit, when I joked about the twist 4 hours early. The worst offender was the Fabian sections. At first, they were alright. But by the end of the game, where you have to leave and enter the same building 4 fucking times, twice to continue the quest and twice again to suck blood because for some fucking reason he can't suck randoms like Phyre can. Very fucking gay, and homosex but thats usual for WOD. Legit a 5/10 game. Pirate it or get it when its on sale. I have no reason to buy it. Somehow I got the anarchist ending when I made it clear to be the prince, and Damsels appearance was shit. Felt tacky. Safia's reasoning was shit too, her accent was hot ngl.

The multiple endings are so one note they might as well be all the same. All you get is a sentence or two describing how x controls the city and a little fluff for it. Overall the game is very disappointing in terms of reactivity, almost every choice is irrelevant and there are barely any branching paths.

the funny thing is that the outer worlds 2 - reddit boogaloo is more reactive than vmtb 2, although both games are less reactive than vmtb 1.

Its so depressing everyone saw how great Fallout: New Vegas was for dynamic story telling and a reactive environment in an RPG, and has never been able to do it again.
Pretty much only Grand Strategy Games like EU IV or Crusader Kings have that dynamism that makes every playthrough different. But its spread sheets and strategy, not an RPG. Its so depressing. Is this what people in 700's Italy thought about the Aqueducts? They still worked during that time. People still used them, even fixed them up a bit. Remasters if you will. But nobody was building NEW Aqueducts. They were relics of a better time. Never to be made again in a lesser time.

I think its from normies that forgot to pre-ordered it years ago or because they are like "oh neat, bloodlines 2!" and buy it because they think it will be as good as the original and have been living under a rock.
Tho Im sure even they are asking for refunds.
I agree with everything but the fucking standard attack sending the dude flying and slamming against the wall unironically got a chuckle out of me.
It belonged in a better game.
You know its bad when the shill channels arent bothering defending this.
And of course they'll claim that the reused music is a "call back for the fans" when we all know thats a fucking lie.
The funny thing is that ancient vampires would def. be based mfs who wouldnt be afraid to call faggots and niggers for what they are because they're usually from a time where treating them that way was the standard.
"Fuck me, society has taken retarded pills. Its time I bring order back to this clown show."
What the fuck are they going to do? Cancel them? Attack them with attacks that aint gonna do jack shit (human or Kindred alike) ?
I once again must remind leftists "your favorite character wouldnt just dislike you, they'd go against your ideology"
For reference, this is Dale.
I dont know Dale
But I already hate him and will try to kill her at the earliest opportunity.

Someone told me he has a somewhat large role in the game, he doesn't and I was lied to.
He's just literally dead in a Fabien flashback, and then you let his dead cat rot in the apartment while you sleep in it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this the game where one of the devs gave an interview in his cringy black gloves and super cool white hair combover or am I thinking of another dev team?
The devs themselves ooze homosexuality so I can see it bleeding into the main game.
