they can spout whatever bullshit they want before the game is out.

Is this the much anticipated sequel to the Order 1886?

>>14889158

>We've given you the option to play through the game without killing anyone. We've also put no work into this whatsoever and it will entail you missing out on large portions of the game mechanics.

This is just lazy as fuck. If you're going to hype up a pacifist playthrough in an RPG style game about the players moral choices, you need to put more work into it than "well you can if you want I guess? ;)"

Also nice low effort OP, nigger.

Is there a reason they couldn't call it Vampire or is that just not cool or "distinctive" enough?

>>14889158

How about pirating the game then play it as suggested and draw your conclusions there?

>the only way to get stronger is by killing people

So what, does working out not do anything for "vampyrs"?

>>14889223

Good shout pointing out who devs are, anon. I had no idea it was these cucks. A victorian England vampire game is a cool premise for a game, but now I know it isn't even worth a torrent. Life is Tumblr and Remember Me are two of the most overrated piles of shit to come out in the past 5 years.

>>14889223

To be fair, deciding whether or not to let Chloe live is a Difficult Moral Choice™ because every other character in the game is almost as annoying as she is and you want them to die as well. There's no option to destroy the town and kill Chloe, so you're sadly forced to compromise.

>>14889158

>Might be good?

It's from the guys that did Life is Strange and Remember (or something) so probably not. It's gonna be heavy story very little game and the story is probably going to be how hard it is to be a gay bloodthirsty parasite genius in a cosmopolitan Victorian society directed by dumb white men that are the true evil.

It's not even worth pirating.

>>14889214

It's a lot harder than you realize to make it even possible to complete a game without combat.

IT'S THE SAME DEVS AS LIFE IS STRANGE

>>14889521

It's going to be a walking simulator, I don't see any GAMEplay in the trailer. It's not hard to make a walking simulator beatable without combat, because you only need to press X once in a while anyway.

>>14889236

I guess the closest "Victorian" themed vampire game, is Blood Omen 2, though it is more dieselpunk than full Victorian, but the citizens and some of the architecture does look Victorian enough for me. Though, if you are going to play this game, I urge you to play all the games in the series, in release order, no exception.

Or maybe someone made a vampire mod for Arcanum.

>>14889615

Jews are less fashionable for victim points these days, mudslimes are the trendiest for that and they really don't go well with jews, so their angle has to be something different than vampire jews.

>muh pacifism

>>14889339

Looks more like a Roman nose to me, rather than a hooknose. You can see that the tip doesn't hook down at the end. Also the brow ridge is separated above the bridge of the nose. Jews tend to have a smashed-flat appearance to the brow and upper bridge, a bulbous hook nose, and a rat-like sneer. I'm not a medical student, so I don't know all of the proper terms, but there are plenty of guides on how to improve your jewdar. j-dar?

How come we haven't made a video game about a manipulating jew trying to steal money from innocent investors without getting caught? Something like Wall Street or The Wolf of Wall Street but as a video game.

>>14889941

It'll have gameplay, but I bet it's going to be worse than the likes of Bound by Flame or Mars Warlogs.

>>14889158

It is fucking shit from the looks of demo and early jewtube stars gameplay. And the poz seems to be there, in fact, the metre broke.

>WE WUZ VIKTORIANZ AND SERS AND SHIETZ

>White Christians are cannibals with no redeeming quality, ME:A autistic glowing eyes and face. also wearing St. Peters Cross (upside-down cross) to make them look evil, those dumb fuck SJWs did not even do their shitposting right. (VtmB at least shows that hunters are on the good side hunting monsters down and generally are decent human)

>Abilities are twilight-tier smoke and mirrors poof and teleport strike edgy shit. Not really interesting.

I surmise at best a 7 or 6.5, average of 5; unless the SJW crowds are all over this shit then expects nepotism and shills at work and tries to move it up to 8 like DA:I or other shit.

A damn shame, it has potential to be good. Your cover (which is also your job) is a doctor and you get to play that role. You can inspect and impact the health of your fellow neighbours and acquaintances and increase their blood quality, stop plagues, and stuffs; which affects the whole mood of the entire area. You also get to know who are they related to and who are their allies and enemies and their interesting tidbits which could be used in quests and stuffs as there are lots of talking.

But the pozz is there and combat is shit, the story is up in the air but if there is poz, there will be more present.

>>14890267

>REMEMBER ME

>Another high-concept interesting premise executed in the poorest way possible with terrible combat, zero character and a moronic twist ending.

Jesus that game was a clusterfuck of bad combat.

undertale 2.0, prepare for autism

>>14890267

>moronic twist ending.

I've finished the game, but I seriously have no memory of the twist in the end, I just remember that her ass was better than her face, and the game looked like nicely cyberpunkish or something

>>14889959

Its actually set in the 20th Century after World War I, but you may be right. I woudn't be surprised if they inserted some minor character that spouses Marxism after the atrocities committed by the Bolsheviks in the Russian Civil War. Also what >>14890281 said.

Well, the French can't help but WE WUZ at every opportunity. They love the nigger cock.

>Remember Me

Arguably it was less fucking awful than Life is Strange. At least the music and art direction weren't bad, but the worldbuilding and complete inability of the writers to actually remember the family you help get together is made up of an apathetic autist and his cunt wife that murdered people in the hundreds. Then again, the leftist audience is all about the feels, so who gives a shit a pair of mass murdering corporate reptiles get away with all their crimes so long as they do so as a family?

>>14890774

But Vampire the masquarade and Legacy of Kain exist

>>14890787

And I've played and enjoyed them, I just wish there was more.

>>14890281

>VtmB at least shows that hunters are on the good side hunting monsters down and generally are decent human

Bloodlines never pretends you're anything but a monster. No matter your good deeds, at the end of the day you're still a bloodsucking parasite. About the kindest thing you can do with humans that get involved with you is to push them away.

>it has potential to be good

Not with the French cucks writing it. I knew from the get to it was going to be a shitshow just like every other game they made so far. The only reason anyone cares about them is because tumblr keeps shilling for them, and they only do that because they made a dyke walking simulator.

>>14890318

>absorbs memories

To be fair, there's no set rules when it comes to vampires. They're fictional beings so you can give them whatever powers you like. It's actually an interesting idea, but I know they've fucked it up, just like they turned the main gimmick of Remember Me into a one-solution, trial and error, "puzzle".

>>14890795

Bloodnet?

>>14890800

Reading up on BloodNet it sounds absolutely ridiculous. I like it.

>>14889989

I randomly clicked on the bar to see and extract of how the chars moves (I'm not going to watch 1h of that garbage) and ended up around 40 and at 40:30 the dev says "oh yeah they fear crucifix" and at the same time ON THE SCREEN, the vampire is comfily sitting, and going to sleep on a bed RIGHT NEXT to a fucking giant crucifix…

In case anyone though this was going to be anything else but hot garbage of gameplay "but with nice ambiance".

It's not it's gonna be Remember Me again with a an art department that did it's job, and gameplay guys that failed at theirs and no one to tell them they had to work together.

I think it's something I noticed in other games, and linked to the "no one teaches how to draw thing", there is a lot a french guys in vidya and a fucking lot of french names in art/design categories of any games (even japs games, MGS comes to mind nearly all westerners names in credits sounds french) because french art school (that are notoriously "hard" to get in. Understand you need to show you have actual basis in classic drawing/sculpting, etc… even before getting through the door, which is something they do teach in french high school art classes) might still fork out people that know how to artistically design things and properly draw minute details.

So with french studios you have games like Dishonored 2 or Nu-prey or even EYE/Deathwing or battlefleet gothic with absolutely stylish settings that are extremely well executed but the rest of the game can widely vary.

If you have french autists that like games and have a very specific idea of what a GAME should be, you have good gameplay (Styx, DMMM, BFG, BloodBowl, Mordheim, etc… Also note how the french are trying to save the Warhammer licenses singlehandedly. Them and the vermintide guys) you have fine games (but there is always something that stops them being a 100% good game. Generally they're to small/focused in scope because they're made by studios simply too small to make bigger games).

I can't help but notice for example that Arx Fatalis, DMMM and Dishonored have fundamentally the same core game design but the two first are a pleasure to play, the last one is way "cleaner" but also boring as fuck. In between the studio grew and a whole bunch of burgers names were added to the credits -> casualisation of gameplay.

So while the guys at dontnod are clearly blazing parisian (that's also something to note, nearly all other studios don't seem to be in Paris) homolefties I think it's unfair to extend it to the french in general as so many games that /v/ actually likes are french.

Interesting post, solid theory regarding the art schools not actually interested in pumping out flunkies

>>14891357

A pacifist run in Postal 2 is pretty fun, though considering the studio that is making this I'm not too hopeful that it wouldn't be an even more-so bland experience.

>>14892846

So you agree that zombies should ONLY EVER be people that voodoo doctors drug into a coma and then trick into thinking they're dead so they can use them as slaves? None of this undead, flesh rotting, brain eating nonsense?

And you also agree that unicorns should always be depicted as having the head of a stag and the feet of an elephant of course? Since you believe that changing these fictional things in any way shape or form is so horrible.

tl;dr you have no idea what you're talking about. You aren't mad these things are being changed from their origins, you're mad they're being changed from the versions you are most familiar with. You are a limp-brained unimaginative uninspired troglodyte of a writer who talks about things without doing the most basic level of research of them. Even worse you talk about yourself being a writer like it's some massive badge of honor and we should all fall over your dick in adoration. Crawl out of your own asshole and read a fucking book.

>>14892846

While I think recycling mythos is pretty lazy, and even more so conveniently altering core aspects of those mythos to handwave obvious problems you will run into (read: Twilight vampires not dying from suight), you are real naive if you think mythology just spawns as is without an iterative process behind. For example, Fairy lore is actually real deep and much, much more different than what you are used to see funnily enough, Pokémon of all things seem to acknowledge fairies' weakness to iron, and so and so with many things you taje from granted.

>>14895039

Anon, I don't think you know who you're talking to. He is a WRITER! Bow your thick monkey cranium in deference to his awesome intellect. How dare you address one such as he as if you were equals?! Don't know he WRITES THINGS?! How very dare you.

>>14889339

>jew

>vampire

At least it's realistic.

>>14892846

But Vampires are so varied depending on what culture you're basing them in. Eastern European vampires have like several types according to their folk lore. From memory

>vampires glow in sunlight

>vampires have no reflection

>vampires twitch a lot

>vampires love counting stuff

>vampires are ugly

>vampires can't cross water

There are more but fuck trying to find that old ass book about this shit in this heat. If you notice, some of those characteristics are just autists; there's a theory that people labeled anything out of the norm as monsters to differentiate themselves (like that case where a dude raped a pregnant woman and killed the baby so he got labeled a werewolf and not a man around the 1600's or so). Then there's the southeast asian vampires who are actually just cannibals if you actually analyze it or the chinese vampires which are actually just comedians tbh. The myth mutation where there's such a thing as emotional vampires and memory vampires or whatnot is an amalgam of old western thing from old america going going down south. Someone should really compile a book about this shit because its pretty interesting. Vampires is like the meme monster of old where people just spread it around.

>>14895533

>use of fictional concepts needs to fit into a narrow definition based on recent popular culture or my pointless autism will be triggered because I get too invested in fairy tales

If I write a story about niggers that make bugger transplants on willing participants and call them vampires, they will be just as much vampires as in any other work featuring such non-existent things.

>>14895562

I always forget how full of top tier waifus Bloodlines is.

>>14895607

And then the feels start when you realize that paradox are going to SJW the fuck out of the World of Darkness. Feels bad man.

>>14895725

It had already been ruined by White Wolf, all Paradox will do is make it even worse. At least Troika had a good grasp of who their audience was, and modeled the female characters accordingly.

>>14895039

> Twilight vampires not dying from suight

I Bram Stoker's Dracula the vampire can walk around in bright daylight as well. Dying in sunlight was an invention of the movies.

>>14895533

> Stoker took key preexistant elements and kept them in tact while making something new. Same thing with Tolkien, who was by far one of the most detailed and anal authors in English history.

>

> However, when you write a fiction story involving elves, note how you cannot remove them entirely from Tolkien's elements. That's because the definition of "elf" in this context was defined already, and though you can alter it ala Witcher or Elder Scrolls it will ultimately be a sister to the original definition and share those key traits with it.

What are you even trying to say? The entire discussion came from someone sperging that in this game the vampire could see someone's memories after drinking their blood. How is this any worse?

>>14895442

> Then there's the southeast asian vampires who are actually just cannibals if you actually analyze it or the chinese vampires which are actually just comedians tbh.

I wouldn't call these myths "vampires", let's limit the term to European vampires only.

>>14895958

>Bram Stoker's Dracula the vampire can walk around in bright daylight as well. Dying in sunlight was an invention of the movies.

There are no hard rules concerning what Vampires can and cannot do. In the World of Darkness sunlight is lethal to vampires, and it's specifically sunlight, not UV rays because they are supernatural creatures whose "biology" is not governed by logic. Meanwhile in Blade UV light is what harms them, and it's explained to be a genetic defect which can be fixed.

I unleashed the sperg (abd254) upon the thread, sadly, and I still don't quite understand what he's going for, especially since he himself, and other people, already gave plenty of example of how vampires, what they are and what they can (and cannot) do changes through history and geographical location. About the best one can argue is that there is a loose set of traits that are commonly associated with vampires that have been popularized by mass media, but even that is no guarantee.

Just as another example, the vampires in the Nasuverse are actually Moon aliens called forth by the "spirit" of the planet Earth to wipe out humans. In Hellsign Alucard's main source of power is that for each person he consumes he gains a life, their abilities, memories and can summon them at will to do his bidding. Here's two fairly popular examples of vampires, and specifically vampires inspired by European folklore, that have little to do with how they are stereotypically portrayed.

>>14889158

>it has pacificst running and is therefore maybe decent

Nah, fuck that, it's made by Dontnod, who are mostly forgettable, and it just looks and sounds shit, I want my fucking Vampire the Masquerade sequel god fucking dammit, even if I have to make it myself.

>>14889158

>won’t be able to level up

You fuckin' wot now?

>>14896204

It's all about the masquerade, after all. Are they fucking about trying to skirt around copyright?

>>14896266

Does vampyr game have a Masquerade system?

>>14896363

>It’s possible to go through the game without taking a single life. It’ll make your life a living hell and you won’t be able to level up, learn any new combat abilities or other skills, but it is technically possible. This would be the best way to keep your cover as a doctor, but the question is if it’s worth it. Completionists will almost definitely end up trying a pacifist playthrough, but it’s always hard to fight the temptation of wanting to get “just that one skill”, especially if you have perfectly guilty prey standing right in front of you.

Sounds like there's no real mechanical value here outside of a forced "he can't just fake it" bullshit thing, it's dontnod so don't go expecting anything well thought out.

>>14896398

>it is technically possible

My guess is they've halfassed it and are now pretending it's actually a genuine feature. From the description it seems that going for a pacifist run basically cuts you off from the majority of gameplay mechanics. I can already picture it is an abhorrent, perpetual stealth section crammed into a game ill suited for such a style of gameplay.

>especially if you have perfectly guilty prey standing right in front of you.

>>14895442

> Eastern European vampires

Vampyr in slav = spectre.

Strix/striga in greek/latin is what is described as vampire in RECENT english literature.

There is nothing "real" (ie: mythical) about "vampires", it's a creation of early pop culture that distorted myth largely through ignorance and the appeal to give exotic names to shit for fun.

The same is true for werewolves.

Werwulf in old german/frank -> werwolf but -> virlou/vireloup in older french but it already existed as garwaf in frank.

Garwaf -> Garou.

Vireloup -> direwolf

Werewolf -> loup-garou in french (because nobody remembered that "ou" in "garou" was already "loup").

It's all the same thing, but different names came because it sounded cooler than saying "human wolf".

It can go on forever describing different thing every time a french/german/english author decide it's OCDONUTSTEEL monster doesn't sound cool enough in his language.

There are common indo-europeans myths but pop culture has wrecked a havoc on their identification.

I had fun doing a run like that in postal 2. So might be nice. But in postal 2 is kind of like a sandbox in that regard. You get some situations that get increasingly more frustrating, and are given a bunch of tools to make them easier to deal with, as in, weapons to kill the everloving fuck out of everybody.

And having to make your run out of a redneck rape center with as only defensive tool being able to piss in everybodies face until they puke is pretty fun.

>>14897876

Alright to be fair there are two schools of thought on this A) God's warning to Adam about the fruit was a warning of judgement, not consequence, and God imposed death onto man as a penalty for sin or B) It was a warning of consequence, not judgement, and death came through sin as a consequence of its curse, not as a penalty from God

"A" means that death is itself a punishment/curse from God upon sin (thus a curse of sin and the wages of sin). Proponents for this note how God kept man from eating the tree of life at that time. Death is a punishment of God.

"B" means death is the natural byproduct of the curse/taint of sin ("sin" in both views corrupts everything from body to mind and even taints the soul and perverts man's natural inclination). God warned Adam what would happen like warning someone not to dance on active train tracks. Proponents for this note how in 1 Corinthians 15 the apostle compares describes death not as from God but from man and regards it as an enemy rather than a punishment. The punishment for dying in sin in both views is eternal destruction aka Hell.

So I guess I'm going a bit on with this point regarding death itself being a curse of God but I also realize I'm putting in a lot more consideration than the writers did. They just wanted something that sounded deep. Wouldn't be surprised if they went into "Supernatural" tv show territory with rewriting old bible stories and having some aged vampire going, "And this is how it REALLY went down!"

>>14899788

>it wasn't even them plucking the fruit it was them eating it that fucked them over

Indeed. Its a shame Sadie Frost aged like milk, she was EXTREMELY HOT in that movie. Here are some facts I learned:

>For the scenes where Lucy is writhing around on her bed in ecstasy, Gary Oldman was also off camera whispering seductive things to Sadie Frost. She later joked that the things he said were "very unrepeatable".

>When Mina is caught drinking Dracula's blood, Coppola was shouting "slut!" and "whore!" at her off camera to make her look guilty and ashamed.

>>14899788

I've watched the first three hours and I pretty much stopped at the moment they had an Indian doctor and a black journalist. I seriously doubt that in 1918 that would have been a common sight… And nobody finds this strange mind you. The pooze is definitely there.

I don't know if I want to keep watching this because this playthrough I posted before is focusing on doing side activities like finding medicine in shortage for the hospital and this is just beyond padded. I shit you not, part 3 is just walking and talking to people in order to solve some sidequest with no value except learning more about a potential victim that you might or might not kill. The only boss fights I've seen so far against vampires play the same way.

Probably just their attempt to keep from spoiling people. Might have been mandated by the devs for all we know.

>The only boss fights I've seen so far against vampires play the same way.

Now that's utter inexcusable trash. There should be varied vampiric fights with unique tricks for the player who doesn't drink much blood/human blood or give you the ability to have high octane super-power fights if you do.

>>14897077

I mean, 50 Shades of Gray is literally twilight fanfiction, so

>>14899909

'supernatural' was such a horrible show.

also saging for offtopic, but the idea that the tree of knowledge of good and evil was sacred and holy is a gnostic idea. altho, the fact that these hacks specifically used an apple does make them seem like, well, hacks.

additionally, another school of thought on the eating of the fruit is here, it's somewhat intriguing.

https://christogenea.org/overview/genesis-chapter-1

>>14900107

>the idea that the tree of knowledge of good and evil was sacred and holy is a gnostic idea

Oh, I forgot about that! haha You're right. It feeds into the Gnostic view of God/Yahweh/etc. actually being evil all along and trying to keep man stupid from never attaining knowledge. Also Jesus was never bodily present but was just a spirit, a notion that was being spread around not even a lifetime after the crucifixion.

Man that takes me back. Haven't studied this in ages.

>>14889214

This. Why can't more games me like Undertale??

>>14899938

>in before you wouldn't suck the blood of the muslim because "ew its dirty sand nigger blood"

Well, aside from race issue (which is completely legitimate: if I'm going to have another's genes introduced to my organism, like in a transplant, I'd prefer white genes), there's also the pedophile/innocent angle to take into account, and I'd prefer sucking blood from a girl instead of a man.

>>14900215

Nigger what? First off a transfusion of blood doesn't really incorporate anyone else's DNA into you, red blood cells have pretty short lifetimes and don't even carry any DNA nor organelles. Secondly, when you eat something, you break the components down. If you eat a steak you aren't incorporating cow DNA into yourself.

>>14900233

>If you eat a steak you aren't incorporating cow DNA into yourself.

Well, I wouldn't expect to incorporate cow DNA from a transplant either, can't imagine it would be quite as compatible.

>red blood cells have pretty short lifetimes and don't even carry any DNA nor organelles.

Didn't know that. I guess I probably would just drink the muslim pedophile blood then, but from a glass. Thanks for the biology lesson, anon.

>>14900233

>a glass

On second thought, a blood-bag. Coagulation and all that.

Here is the final boss. At first you fight some disgusting mutant that pukes all over the room and then she transforms into an avatar of blood.

>>14900777 (witnessed)

Yeah pretty much. At least they didn't end this on a obvious sequel bait probably because they don't expect to make another one (with what, being released just a week before E3 no way this game is going to be a hit).

>>14889615

the whole myth of the vampire is a result of jewish practices, so it fits

I hope there's good porn

I didn't even catch that. Yeah, those are real book covers so apparently it was an actual book.

>>14899928

>Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness? I heard the N64 games were shit, but those are sadly the only ones that let you play as an werewolf.

They are but they showed promise in some aspects, real shame that 3dVania was never cracked, as in fucking ever, none of the later ones are good, they are just less worse than the N64 ones.

Yeah, this faggot is roman, no doubts. Not like i am going to ever play any game about vampires after VTMBL though.

This game will unlock in approximately 2 hours

>>14903757

artist is kagami, though i don't know from what game so you're going to have to find that one out by yourself.

Game's out on steam now. What's the verdict?

>>14905201

Last I checked it was Very Positive. It scored 72 on Metacritic. Keep in mind that review embargo was up until the day of release.

>>14891439

Pacifist runs in video games should be like in Yakuza, where Kazuma "That one waiter doesn't count since it was the other guy shooting him" Kiryu can curbstomp someone three times in a row and they'll still be able to say sorry after the fight unless someone uses a gun or a knife during a cutscene.

>>14901387

I found a better res pic

Sadly it comes from goontopia as you can see

THERE IS NO "PACIFIST" ENDING

Apparently the Good End is just if you never killed a civilian. Killing even human who are attacking you first doesn't count.

The devs were shrugging not actually hinting at a pacifist playthrough, which would be dumber since pacifists are the first in the grave for good reason. But no they were making it up that you could be a pacifist. You cannot and it offers you nothing.

>>14906101

Download cancelled.

>>14906101

> Killing even human who are attacking you first doesn't count.

So it's not a true pacifist run, but rather a Non Aggression Principle run.

>>14906473

Trump wants to build a way to separate the rich and poor? I thought poor people voted for him. Didn't Trump sign some feminist legislation? Doesn't Trump hire women in his administration?

What else you got?

It's why I'm making fun of the pussyfest ending, the endings fucking suck along with the writing and story, not to mention the abortion of Bamham combat.

>>14906503

The only thing that is out of place, to someone new to the franchise, would be Yanos Ordrin, or at least it felt to me, when I first played the game at the age of 9-10 and it was my first introduction to the LoK series, but otherwise it's fairly standalone. The first game is also standalone, since, unlike the Soul Reaver entries, it doesn't end in cliffhangers. Defiance, to it's detriment, has so much exposition about what has happened in the previous games, that I guess even a newcomer could pick the game up as his first LoK game, and understand 90% of what has happened in the previous entries, though I would not recommend playing Defiance, until after completing the other ones first.

>>14906526

that guy looks friendly, sure he eats garbage but why should I dislike him or trump based on this image?

>>14906580

Ummm, haha, no, sweetie pie.

There's an interracial couple and theres a gay couple in the game. In fact the MC supports them and says something to the effect of "I am glad theres people like you who stand up to society."

>>14906723

Devs these days can't stop "Deconstructing" shit, we get it, Postmodernist marxist fucktards from Jewbisoft did it first with AssCreed Syndicate.

>>14906732

Oh ya almost forgot about the nurse who bitches about not being able to be a doctor cause she's a fuckin genius and just as good as any man.

>>14906732

You can kill any NPC in the game, yes?

>>14906747

Or the tranny, in Victorian London because reasons, whatever the fuck do these frogs even think.

>>14906790

Yeah, my headcount was 50-80 npcs.

>>14906790

yep but you gotta have enough mesmerize level or whatever for some of them to eat them, but you don't get AIDS from their gay blood you anon?

>>14906823

>>14906810

what tranny?

>>14906823

Is bloodsucking the only way to kill people or can you just cut them down?

>>14906834

It's the only way to kill non enemy NPCs.

>>14906832

This tranny, watch the whole thing to see a tumblrite armchair warrior in Victorian London.

>>14906836

Though you meant in Vampyr.

>>14906842

Was mentioning about retarded inserts into a story to virtue signal, the devs said no unnecessary romance shit like from Twilight, but they went in and did hamfisted and terrible gay romance sidequest shit that felt out of place.

This shit game aside I would love to see a game with a vampire with morality gameplay.

Make a person healed through your blood or maybe alchemy or use it to create a plague among people.

Not a very fleshed out idea as I'm drunk but even then I think its better then the fucking bullshit these wannabe directors come up with.

inb4 Bloodlines

You don't do shit for humans 80% of the time other then not kill them.

>>14906836

The tranny is the least offensive thing about this video.

Fuck's sake assassinating everyone with unlimited range daggers and bodies laying around without alerting anyone.

>>14906883

It took them about 3-4 years to make this game with a AA budget, there's a base to build it up, but god, never trust the French to make a game in London.

>>14906898

That's basic AssCreed gameplay since AssCreed 2, everything else with their Greek and Egyptian Revisionism with Tourist Mode along with this and everything else is offensive to anyone who cares about a series that prided itself with Historical Accuracy.

>>14891439

that would be preferable

>>14906883

This could lead into some interesting bits. Going off of your example, the player character gets turned into a vampire without full knowledge of the mechanics of how and why people get turned into vampires. Perhaps the game throws a slight red herring where the player being turned was somewhat ritualistic in nature the ritual just sped up the process. This leads the player to assume it needs a specific situation to turn people into vampires. The player can expend blood, which should be a precious resource in this game a red herring for the "cost" of saving a life, to heal someone. However, that turns the character they heal into a vampire much later on. Conversely, a character who had some alchemy knowledge could use their blood to create something that would heal them without that side effect down the road, or do a follow up visit to stop the process. However, getting to that point should be difficult. Your character is a monster, so trying to do good things should require a lot more work and thought put into it.

>>14906836

>literally just a woman in a man's suit and hat, they don't even attempt to pass

Is Ubisoft trying to tell us something?

>>14906823

Consuming infected blood doesn't transmit the virus

>>14907346

It's the same as modern trannies not having to be passable. A bearded man in a dress is enough.

>>14907435

Why go for the Good ending and spare the NPCs? everyone you meet in the game, you'll want to kill, and fucking soundtrack ques, goddamn annoying violins.

>>14902905

>>14902968

Not quite: The idea of the book was for it to be a twisted version of the hero's journey in which the transformation our protagonist undergoes in becoming a "hero" is, explicitly, that he becomes a killer, with the book making an implicit statement in its portrayal of that that the "transformation" the protagonist undergoes in any of your more typical hero's journey stories could really be one of becoming a killer as well. Then the way the book made a statement about death or killing in (or as) the hero's journey, the idea of the game was to make a Spec Ops: The Line-esque statement about the way that videogames about war (or death, or killing) tend to be made, described and played - they could be stories questioning war, or even affirming it in their own individual nuanced ways, but what they are instead tends to be stories mindlessly revelling in it; revelling in the killing they portray without ever stopping to think about what would truly go into the acts of killing they portray or about what would truly go into the lives that are cut short by the act of killing. In both works, Artyom has or could have had (via this ending that only a small fraction of the playerbase would ever bother to reach for if via nothing else) the potential to be more than a killer, but where it counts what he's become is just a killer. Where it counts, Artyom the pacifist truly has died. Then the sequels to both book and videogame just stomp all over all of that nuanced storytelling, so I'd just leave them out of the picture.

>>14907806

Another absolutely magical thing about Metro 2033 was how it played with the metaphysics of its world, so while I'm saying all this about Metro 2033 let me just dump this very short story on the themes of death, killing, and metaphysics from an author name-dropped in the book:

>A Problem, by Jorge Luis Borges

>Let us imagine that in Toledo someone finds a paper with an Arabic text and that the paleographers declare the handwriting belongs to that same Cide Hamete Benengeli from whom Cervantes took his Don Quixote. In the text we read that the hero — who, as the story goes, rambled about Spain armed with a sword and lance, challenging all sorts of people for all sorts of reasons — discovers at the end of one of his many frays that he has killed a man. At this point the fragment breaks off. The problem is to guess, or to conjecture, how Don Quixote reacts.

>As I see it, there are three possible solutions. The first is negative. Nothing special happens, for in the hallucinatory world of Don Quixote death is no less common than magic, and to have killed a man need not perturb someone who struggles, or thinks he struggles, with monsters and enchanters. The second is pathetic. Don Quixote never managed to forget that he was a projection of Alonso Quijano, a reader of fairy tales. Seeing death, realizing that a dream has led him to commit the sin of Cain, wakes him from his pampered madness, possibly forever. The third is perhaps the most plausible. Having killed a man, Don Quixote cannot admit that his terrible act is the fruit of a delirium. The reality of the effect forces him to presuppose a parallel reality of the cause, and Don Quixote will never emerge from his madness.

>There remains another conjecture, alien to the Spanish world and even to the Occidental world. It requires a much more ancient setting, more complex, and wearier. Don Quixote, who is no longer Don Quixote but rather a king of the Hindustani cycles, intuitively knows as he stands before his enemy’s cadaver that to kill and to beget are divine or magical acts which manifestly transcend humanity. He knows that the dead man is an illusion, as is the bloody sword that weighs down his hand, as is he himself, and all his past life, and the vast gods, and the universe.

I am surprised no one started posting all the shitskins and interracial couples yet

>>14908053

Actually it's London.

The place has always been infested with foreigners. It's a foreign city founded by foreigners and that foreigners always gather in.

It needs to burn.

>>14906494

i-it's okay nazis had black people in their army!

>>14908053

I'm not actually surprised by non-white ethnic groups in London during that period in time.

>>14906836

In reality she wasn't a tranny.

>>14907346

Ubishit made her into a tranny for good goy points but she wasn't. She was a girl who wanted to join the gangs but the only way to do that was to dress as a guy. She's more of a crossdresser (not in a kink way) than a tranny.

>>14908078

Well it is from DontNOD, the people behind the ironically forgettable Remember Me and Life is Tumblr, so what did you really expect?

>>14908142

Remember London was originally Londinium, founded by continental filth who imported all manner of foreign trash.

When Rome fell, much of those foreigners left and the rest were put to the torch along with Londinium itself. The native Britons only ever choosing to inhabit a small part of the old port.

Then when the Saxons came along and took over they rebuilt a lot of Londinium to make full use of the port.

Eventually Londinium became London and its surrounding settlements.

>>14908491

Got that on BBc laddie?

What the fuck are you even doing here of all places

>>14908053

>you can kill these just not the major ones

There's a silver lining somewhere then.

But it's amazing such a next-to-nothing studio with a budget of chewed gum and duct tape still felt the need to proselytize and revise history as though they're in swell with the big reds of pedowood.

>8hrs

Are you serious? Sounds like a first run of Detroit. I'm sure most of that is built on mandatory fetch quests and weak-wristed plodding.

>>14908053

It's Witcher 3 combat not dark souls.

Oh boy fucking Romanian commies in the game too.

Poz at 0:41.

>>14908536

The existence of Londinium is hardly some great secret.

Britons have never been big on cities.

We're the only nation in the world that contradicts Zipfs law on this front. All our cities outside of London are a lot smaller than they would be expected to be considering the size of London.

And most Bongs hate London. Cos it's shit and full of foreigners.

>>14910382

How is the action and combat? Does playing as a vampire feel good or clunky?

>>14910407

It's not clunky, but it's super basic and doesn't have much variety other than fancy abilities and some enemies are gigganiggas instead of manlets.

>>14910508

When the games are just movies, you can just watch some LPer while doing something else.

>>14896583

Can you give us some examples?

>>14910724

>>14910731

I dont know what I expected, but this is about what I imagined. The only thing I read about the new rules that hit my rage button was the removal of the Malkavians.

>>14910759

for what purpose did they remove the head case clan?

Swift question about his game. Does this contain brown or black skinned characters? When i play games i use mods to delete everyone who looks like black people or indians. I did this in every game yet since im software engineer is just reskin them to white and if they have heavy monkey like feature is usually replace them with placeholder white character. Im just asking if i need to mod this myself or just can safely play this.

>>14910785

it does have a nigger and some indian bitch as far as I know but there could be more trannies and nigaras since the game came out recently so I'm not really sure.

How do you plan on modifying the game without breaking it?

>>14910776

Dunno, guess they just didnt make the cut during the switch-over. It just annoys me cause I have a tattoo of their clan symbol.

>>14910776

If he's talking about the edition that's currently out, they weren't really removed, but they might as well have been. They were moved from a distinct clan of their own into a bloodline of the Ventrue. Effectively, a Malkovian (not Malkavian, but now Malkovian, even God knows not why) is now just a specialized form of Ventrue.

As to why? Search me. They were one of the most popular clans, and I have no fucking idea why they would downgrade them like this.

>>14910799

Did they literally recton the malkavian antideluvian?

>>14910790

Dont know yet i dont have files. It's usually not hard. If this game has good audio i can simply find them by audio radar then find exact pixels and then find the file which are they contained.

>>14910812

The most recent edition is basically its own universe, for all intents and purposes. I don't think you'd call that a retcon, since that would imply they kept the majority of the universe the same and simply changed a few details. Almost everything was changed, and in this new universe there simply doesn't exist a Malkavian clan.

>>14910731

AA low budget ARPG. It's not 'excellent' per se and is rough around the edges but these games are generally pretty unique in their ideas. I've heard good things from my personal circle. If you aren't sure I'd say just pirate it and follow the pirate's code of 'if you like it, buy it.'

Le Chevalier d'Eon was NEVER a trans, not even gay.

He was a french spy that like to mascarade (as in "a bal masqué", a costume party) as a girl supposedly Louis XV saw him and was impressed, recruited him in the "secret du roi" (the first real spy agency) and gave him the mission infiltrate the Tsarina court as a girl and make the Russo-french alliance for the 7 years war. He succeeded, then went to fought in the war (as a men) which brought him honor and a lot of credit with the "secret du roi"… which got to his head as he always was an attention whore, he ended up literally tried to blackmailed France's King…

He was given the boot and exiled, disgraced and forgotten.

To take his revenge and come back to the limelight since he was by then a very well known as an agent and french officer he decided to claim he was declared a women at birth and his father forced him to pretend to be boy for inheritance reasons and is actually asking France to recognize it. Which was utterly scandalous because it meant that Louis XV of France had employed a women as officer and ambassador and doing dirty spying work…

In the meantime the France king dies, and Louis XVI agrees to the blackmail and buyback all the documents d'Eon stole from the french embassy in England, reestablish him to some of his previous honors (pensions).

d'Eon stops immediately dressing as a girl.

However he didn't read the fine prints in his agreement, France had officially accessed to his demand to be recognized him as a girl, he was FORCED to dress and act as a girl or his agreement is void.

Now, being an attention whore, he was always happy to dress as a girl to enjoy the confusion and the attention.

But being forced to always be a girl all he was fucking miserable which was the king vengeance.

So the idea that he's an actual tranny or a symbol for LBGT is laughable.

At best he was an attention whore and mentally unhinged (narcissistic disorder) and worst his "recognition" of his right to be a girl was a terrible vengeance…

>>14913822

He didn't kill enough.

well got 4 mesmerize so now I am gonna go on a killing spree

Anyone figured out the pressure plate puzzle?
