Right version will be Будущее возмездие and even google translator shows it, so idk what’s their problem.

If it actually was intentional and devs wanted to point out she’s a feminine force of retribution, a la your feminists, they could dive into gender gaps - feminist attempt at creating neutrally gendered Russian language, similar to adding x to gendered words in Spanish. It’s not like I like gender gaps but at least i would understand what they were after.
 
Looks like ADF two months off the welfare. Just bring back Deb of Night and can the rest of the cast.
 
The anarch where loudmouthed idiots fuck them and fuck this shitty game. Bring back Theresa or fuck off.
 
I used to play the shit out of Blacklight: Retribution. It wasn't a half-bad game. I mean, it had some P2W bullshit in it, but the whole "toggleable wallhack" mechanic with the HRV actually led to some surprisingly tense, raw, twitchy gunfights. Then, they harmonized the PC build with the PS4 build and it all turned to dog shit. The guns in the PC build had totally different recoil mechanics from the console version.

I've also played VtMB, and it was pretty good, but this? This game looks like shit. I never thought Hardsuit Labs would turn out a turd like this, but here we are.



Weird, janky, rigid animations. Awful writing and acting. In an RPG, that last one is a cardinal sin.

Unless they delay this long enough to unfuck it, I can already smell the 6.5/10 review scores.

also some of you felt bad for pre-ordering a game more then year ago, and ever since no normal gameplay reveal/release date?
You can now get a physical special edition too! Still no idea when you’ll get it, tho

Wasn't the Anarchs ending cutscene bugged and didn't play?

I thought the Anarch ending was just your character walking away from the tower while it burns. Was there a "real" Anarch ending? Personally I like the lone wolf ending the best follower by the Camarilla ending. At least Strauss had the intelligence to lead his faction and he had a clear vision to protect all vampires

I remember there being a bug that prevented the secondary cinematic, but I dunno. Been a long ass time.

Anyway, today we‘ll get some more info on bloodlines 2 on Guerilla collective stream.

And do you know about Werewolf: the apocalypse-Earthblood game? New cinematic looks damn good, shame it’s an epic exclusive, but I understand a decision here - game was in development he’ll for way too long

I hope this is legit good, the world of darkness has great lore for video games making.

Looks cool and all but no werewolf will be as terrifying as Bloodlines werewolf coming at you double speed while you wait for that damn cable car.

I know right? It made me recall fleeting from Mr X, except my point blank shotgun to the face only made 2 points of damage
Cue me using my toreador speed to run super fast like a sissy

Could just be a bad shot/pains of still being in development. I really hope they keep her accurate to how she was in 1, she was a violent commie but she had nuance in how she believed communism wouldn't work for humans and only within the vampire society, which I always found to be a really interesting angle.

Always found disappointing you couldn't drop some red pills to utterly piss her off (or snap her neck when no one is looking)

She is a vampire, she cant "grow up". People like her never change.

Half the reason people love the first game is for it's portrayal of Malks, you cunt. If people have a problem with it you wouldn't be given the opportunity to shit the bed with the sequel.

Yeah the Malks were one of the best parts. I have to be homnest I avoided them at first because the description made them a bit unatractive to play. But when I played them I was like "Holy shit that's great"

They shit on first game for wrong portrayal of mental illness, but “speech worded so weird you can’t understand what person tries to say to you” is something I experienced when I encountered people with blooming schizophrenia. I started to appreciate bloodlines writing more after that experience.

im almost certain that in stock vtmb, the anarch ending just abruptly cuts off to the jack + caine scene after lacroix gets his ass blown up and the "lone wolf" ending is the only one that explicitly shows you walking away from the burning husk of venture tower and flipping off nines. if you have wesp's plus patch installed you get to watch an additional buggy 3 second long scene of your character walking in place outside venture tower. fortunately every single ending in vtmb is pretty fucking weak so i guess it balances out
 
What is it about the media completely skipping over any complexity or nuance in politics. The only thing these people understand is identity politics and picking sides. They cannot comprehend anything beyond an us vs them mentality and it's ruining every piece of media it's in. Games like fallout and vtmb are incredibly political but they actually go into detail about these concepts and don't shove everything down your throat. Caeser isn't just fasc man bad and the anarchs aren't just cool epic lefties. Any nuance is completely lost on numedia and it's nothing but a detriment.
 
Does anyone have the 3 new unused songs that came with the vinyl?
Everything else got posted on youtube, but those three apparently come as a code.

Just from seeing how all the schizocows type I've gained an appreciation for Malks in the first game. The twins were treated very seriously, too, as I've written further up, so this bitch was beaten out by a game that was released 15 years ago.
 
Jesus, that whole Tourette story is just pure heartbreak when the two of them talk about "their" childhood. Their two personalities are also the absolute classic response to that sort of trauma, one ice cold "never again" bitch, the other a quite literal "Fuck me harder, Daddy!" ageplayer complete with schoolgirl getup. That whole convo you have is about the two personalities reconciling their responses to the CSA and learning to live together instead of in competition (at least the good ending). Worst part is, she's a Malk, so she's stuck never able to heal, reconcile, and move on, the personalities always going in and out of conflict and preeminence.
