The plot will be a protagonist who's a non-binary vampire faggot with a trans ghoul for a lover who rebels against the Ventrue patriarchy and then joins the commie Anarchs. The non-binary protag diablerises an ancient straight male vampire and then becomes a Mary Sue who steamrolls everyone along the way.
 
I reiterate that this game is going to be significantly worse gameplay wise compared to how CP:2077 was on launch. It might have a similar or greater amount of bugs, too, lol.

This is pretty standard now, these are paid off shills that market the game to the clueless retards that need their own opinions read out to them on a flashcard. In other words, the only potential VTM:B2 customers. No doubt they will be flocking to /v/ now to make totally organic posts about the game, assuming they haven't already done so.

I can't wait for the flood of similarly worded hype tweets with the same set of gifs from the game that no one has been using.
 
I wanted to play as the Malkavian girl from the first game.

I preordered the 89.99$ version of the game again on September 17 2025, they had refunded the preorder on September 16. I been waiting for this game for a long time. This almost reminds me of when I would post on forums and people were talking about Fable and we were waiting for Fable to come out. Fable was supposed to be like Morrowind but have more rpg elements and be a lot better. I remember that Peter Monlyex guy he was hyping up fable like 2 years or longer before Fable came up. I didn’t even know what the word hype meant back then until people kept saying Peter Monlyex was hyping Fable. He made the game seem like it was going to be really good, then it took forever to come out. I had really high expectations for the game for like 2 years but then right before it came out I wasn’t as excited anymore because I had a feeling it wouldn’t be as good as he said it was going to be. Fable 1 wasn’t as good as I hoped it would be but it was ok. That’s kinda how I’m feeling about Vampire masquerade bloodlines 2. I was really hyped up for the game but now I’m worried it won’t be as good as they said. I remember in September 2023 they said vampire would release in late 2024 and then in late 2024 they said early 2025 and then in march 2025 that guy made a video saying it would release October 2025. That’s like 2 more year of waiting plus the waiting before that. And it’s later October, October 21. October is almost over on October 21! I thought he meant like a early October release and then people would be playing it all October and maybe it would have a Halloween theme, but irs going to have a Christmas theme? Dragon age veilguard was released on October 31 2024. That’s Halloween. I bought that game the day it was released at GameStop. Less than half a day of playing it in October. It was horrible game too. Dragon age veilguard wasn’t a real rog game at all. I hope Vampire Masquerade bloodlines 2 is more of a rpg game than that. But they keep saying it might not even be a rpg. The preorder has story packs. I don’t understand why they make you play as a different character in the two story packs? I wanted a custom character you create yourself. Fire is a voiced protagonist. But at least you can change her hair and clothes. But I don’t understand why it’s first person only.

Yeah, I mean, I knew this game was going to be a trashfire when I saw that gameplay footage a year or two ago. Awful fucking combat, and that alone is enough to sink it, because we all know that this game is going to have plenty of combat in it.

I'm not talking about the first Bloodlines, but the sequel, the topic of this thread. You know, the game that looks like it's somehow going to suck and blow simultaneously?

Are you talking about the first Bloodlines? If so I agree, but if you're talking about the gameplay trailer from the second, then all I have to ask is what color is the sky in the unique and interesting world that you inhabit with the other crazy people?

pretty sure it was in context of veilguard

I had a feeling dragon age veilguard would be really bad but I thought it couldn’t be as bad as some people thought it would be, but it was. But with vampire masquerade bloodlines 2 I’m honestly hoping that the game will really be good and I think it will be.

Im curious to see how many tourist this sequel will bring.

I'm wondering the same thing. Ultimately, I think it'll fall flat even for the normies. V:TM had some degree of tourism back when normies flocked to D&D in the mid/late 2010s thanks to Stranger Things, Critical Role et al...but now, with tourists beginning to fuck off from tabletop RPGs again, and the visual novels they released being a niche product at best, I don't think they'll be able to draw much from the "I heard of V:TM, but not enough to know this is a complete turd" crowd.

As for uninitiated normies, I really don't think they'll get much: Just from a pure gaming perspective, it looks like the worst parts of Cyberpunk 2077 and Fallout 4 put together. If it didn't have the Bloodlines label attached to it, it'd be relegated as "Generic vidya slop #424324".
 
If "Vampire The Masquerade always had bad gameplay chuddy" in this thread is anything to go by, it will be much worse.

Agreed, hardly anyone who didn't already know about the source material is going to see and play this videogame, hear that it's tied to a TTRPG, and then actually put any time into attempting to play it. Cyberpunk saw a bit of a boost from the videogame and netflix show, but bloodlines 2 isn't either of those and won't have the same amount of resource thrown at it post launch to fix it like CP 2077 either.

It's also not going to be interesting enough to draw a crowd for the videogame alone either. This shit will be forgotten about in a month. And based off of all of the messaging from Paradox about Bloodlines 2 over the past year and a half, even they're expecting it to be a dead-end for the IP.

As far as bringing in tourists, it'll probably be a net negative turning off people permanently who had been interested in the franchise at one point or another ages ago. So any temporary gain would be immediately off-set and I'm pretty sure this will be visible due to a lack of noticeable increase in slop youtube videos once the game has been out for a month due to no remaining audience. An example of the opposite of this would be all of the eyeballs that Space Marine 2 drew to the IP.
 
I like to run contrary to the cynical doomsaying of literally everybody else on KF, so mark me when I say that it would take a fucking miracle for VTM:B 2 to not suck complete and utter dick.
Should've made a Mage game instead.
