resident-adam An update on my post. Bought the game but it says that vampire:bloodlines.exe won't load or whatever :/ I have a decent pc that runs Star Wars: Galaxies and World of Warcraft with like no lag. Is there a fix for this bug? Please help and thanks.

Dr. Boogie Yeah you do.
Aug 24th, 2008 07:12 AM
resident-adam I'd have to try this game, sounds fun.

OxBlood But White Wolf scrapped the whole world of Darkness and re-imagined it. Wonder if there will be another game with the old system...or another Vampire game at all.

naardejood As much as I adored this game, I really hope someone makes a new one with updated graphics and, more importantly, includes the Sabbat clans, bloodlines and maybe even Kindred of the East. I typically played Tzimisce, though I had some short spats with the Giovanni, Cappadocians, Baali and Assamites in the taletop game. And who wouldn't love playing a game as a vampire that can craft weapons out of his own bones and hide them in his own organs? Hell, if worse comes to worse, one could always remove their own arm and use it as a bludgeoning implement.

OxBlood I...think IŽll play it again tonight...maybe this time as a sane clan...even though nothing can be as much fun as being a Malkavian :D

Nick I miss Troika.

Kitsunexus This game was pwn.

Copper *laughs* Back when I bought them, I had a P.O.S. machine. Now it's just me being lazy and not installing them, mostly because I want to play Neverwinter Nights 2 instead. I try not to run too many RPGs at once or I forget where I am. That, and I worry my mother when she:
1. Comes home from work to see me sitting in front of NWN
2. Goes to bed, seeing me sitting in front of NWN
3. Gets up at 7am to see me sitting in front of NWN
4. Asks me if "That game you're playing all the time actually has an ending..."

So, yeah, I try not to get into too many games you can play/replay for hours on end, especially when I have to get up for work in the morning *laughs*

Dr. Boogie Seriously. And your computer can't handle Redemption either? That's a 233mhz game, for god's sake. Buy a new computer!

It needs a 1.2 Ghz processor, 512 megs of RAM, and pretty much any video card of choice.

A toaster oven could run this game.

Odworthy One of my favourite games of all time, in spite of all the bugs, glitches and random crashes. The Ocean House level still gives me a chill down the spine when I play it. Thankfully, it's nowhere near as bed-wettingly scary as the Cradle level in Thief III...

Copper "Likewise, the dialog in the game is fantastic, especially if you choose to play as one of the terminally-insane Malkavian vampires. "

According to friends who have played the game before me, you should play the game twice. Once as clan of choice and another as a Malkavian, just to see how vastly different the game is.

Sadly, I've owned this game for years (and it's precursor, Redeption) but I've yet to actually install and play it. Mostly, I've been needing a machine to handle the two of them and secondly, because I'm just lazy *laughs* Not to mention I'm a chicken and I've been told about the "Haunted House" portion. There's a reason I don't play Ravenloft and Cthulu.

And for those of you ragging on the LARPers, just remember that the few do not represent the many. I belonged to a couple groups in the day and they were a lot of fun. And remember, too, that if you're in the presence of *good* LARPers, you shouldn't even know it

Rebel Without a Sauce I remember the Ocean House! Great level design! And the escape from the werewolf was a pretty fun set piece as well. In fact, the whole game was one big awesome set piece.

My favourite part was blatantly using cheats to win the game... stupid fighting system, I can't believe a game about vampires expected me to have combat abilities! VAMPIRES ARE THE FRIENDLIEST OF ALL CREATURES OF THE NIGHT. O
Jul 22nd, 2008 12:44 PM
Dr. Boogie Yes, the Ocean House sequence was really well done. It even scared me when I played through it again years later.
Jul 22nd, 2008 09:05 AM
MetalMilitia The only thing I really remember about the game is some level set in an abandoned hotel that scared me.
I might re-play it one of these days now that the bugs have seen sorted out a bit.
Jul 22nd, 2008 04:33 AM
OxBlood Great game, thanks to the fanpatches. One of my favorites. And yes, OF COURSE as a Malkavian.
Jul 21st, 2008 09:05 PM
LadyMage yay another whitewolf world of darkness fan (yes I have a few of the books) though honestly I wish they would make a promethean game for the computer next
Jul 21st, 2008 07:47 PM
Dungeonbrownies thank god these come out in videogame form, which
I like to imagine helps to retard the rise of actual LARPERS.
as for other role players though,
D&D represent!

Doctor_Who I actually used to play the VTM rpg for a while. I have been a D&D freak for over 13 years now, but back in high school we moved to a godawful redneck town whose inhabitants were more interested in shooting beer cans and cow-tipping (seriously, I saw it happen) than dice rolling. The only other rpg-ers around were the local goths, and VTM was their game of choice.

Oh well, at least it wasn't LARPS.

Sleazeappeal I could never beat that fucking giant bat!
Jul 21st, 2008 01:13 PM
RevengeVirus Some of the best voice acting in any game, ever. Oblivion could learn a thing or two from this game.....like, hire more than 10 voice actors for thousands of characters.

Arcanum is tits as well.

Mac Brookman Flaws and bugs aside this is one of my favourite games of all time. Combat was wonky, but the stealth kills made up for that. The little sound bytes like hearing a crowd cheer when you bash someone on the head with a baseball bat was a nice touch.

Mainly though, it was the story that drove the game for me. That and the dark humour that popped up here and there. The "argument" between a Malkavian and the STOP sign is one of the best reasons for picking that bloodline.
