Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines. Gameplay Video. Casual Fun. Episode 1.
2First episode of a two part short let's play of Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines. This is really just a game showcase as I did not really like the game. After hearing so much positive things towards the usage of vampires and their myths in there, I found myself at odds with a mostly GTA (Grand Theft Auto) style of game play with some better options for play styles here and there, but not for a whole lot, and also a inclusion of a lot of dark and Gothic material that desperately tries to make this title into the darkest most depressing material you can ever play in a game. It also doesn't help that you have to do things at a linear rate, with little actual vampire mythology or choice for the player of what faction he wants to partake in; this is boring as a Western RPG, and dates the title so much, especially when at the end of this game from what I've seen, you do need to re-buff your characters based on guns as the ending sequences are terribly designed with the Half-Life 2 engine included here, which turns your nicely packed stealth or Melee character into a joke for the sake of "let's blown shit up boy!" level of condensed dialogue. It's not good for these reasons, and I'm quite disappointed and ashamed that this was nothing like some of my favorite vampire themed games were the narrative takes center such as the Legacy Of Kain series. Such a bad title for me... you might like it though, if you love dark and gloomy stuff.
