It's like someone read previous thread about this steaming pile of shit and all the bad things we pointed out and decided to do a remake of the same fucking gameplay. You can see it at the end of the video - they wanted to climb that wall, but gave up and used the stairs like normal Masquerade abiding vampires do. They didn't kill Slugg and there were less of his followers around to fight. Too bad they did not work on subtitles because they don't show half the stuff that chick is saying. I can't even bother to point out the rest of old (and new) mistakes.
This game looks awful.

Just finished VTMB for the first time, I don't see any reason to bother playing this. The first game's strengths were its writing and aesthetic, which are mediocre at best here. But the gameplay improvements seem marginal at best, this is just going to be a really shitty Dishonored but with more dialogue.

small complaint, but the fact characters you've never met before have their name thrown on screen is annoying, especially this character since the player is hunting him. The devs put in a dialouge option to ask who this character is, but since anyone paying attention will notice the name above the character's head at the start of the dialogue, most players will just jump into combat with this guy or offer him asylum with the nosferatu even though the character doesn't actually know who the fuck he is.

IN CONCLUSION
I know it's prealpha gameplay, but it's garbage so far. The only thing I expected them to do better was the combat, but even that looks floaty and boring. Throwing people around in hand to hand in the first game was janky but it made you feel powerful. In this game you punch someone several times in the face and they shrug it off. Also looks like there are cinematic combos in the game which is garbage. The bat spell he was using felt really shitty. Where are the screams as people get picked apart by bats? It didn't even seem like he targeting most of the people he killed, like it was just a fire and forget ability. This game so far appears garbage and is looking to be Watchdogs/Assassin's Creed/Dishonored in a different skin rather just taking the original game and improving what made it great.
tl;dr
just replay VtM:B

The combat was pretty bad, he's not wrong. It's probably the worst aspect of the game, honestly. There's a reason why everybody who has played VtM:B will tell you to go social for literally the entire game except once you reach endgame, when you're told to dump all your remaining points into a combat stat. Granted, the endgame is just one big awful combat gauntlet, but everybody acknowledges the endgame is absolute dogshit.

In the newest edition (the shit one this is based on) thinbloods got access to one discipline at increased cost (you can actually pick from three "merits", but two of the options are "you can pass for human, even to medical tests, and can eat/drink/sex" and "you're only weakened in sunlight, not instantly dead" which are effectively mandatory). That at least is rational.

I just watched a few minutes because I've otherwise been ignoring this game thus far. The animations look beyond fucked. Like they try to do the 'look down and see your feet' thing but then whenever you fall you just look down and see your feet walking on air. The blood-sucking animations never work, your victims' character models are just ragdolling from the moment you grab them. Visual effects are overabundant and confusing. NPCs don't seem tor react to anything vampire-related you do. Loading zones have no kind of transition–no doors–you just walk past a point in the map, get a really long loading screen, and then appear in a visually dissimilar location with no sense of space.
They will fix none of this by launch.

Now that I think about, I recall reading that vampire bodies always return to the state of their "death" over day. Their bodies even push out the ink from tattoos they got in unlife, so a piercing wouldn't make any fucking sense.

Looks to me they intended to show him using Obfuscate (invisibility) to run the fuck away, which thanks to its true nature as a mental trick rather than actual invisibility sometimes looks that way. Add to that that even the greenest Nossies are masters of stealth and trapmaking and always have sercte exits and such prepared beforehand. The problem is that they fucked up the execution. Had he had more of a head start and had the devs put some subtle environmental clues, it would've looked a lot better.
>multiple bosses competing for a newbie's attention
That is by far the most galling thing about this. I know comparisons are inevitable as they're done to death, but in the OG Bloodlines you start your unlife by narrowly dodging your own execution by someone else's grace, talked down to, kicked to the curb without so much as an explanation (Jack has to fill you in) and made an errand bitch boy without having so much as a say in the matter. That set the tone for how vampire politics work and had you by necessity claw your way up. But no, modern gamecattle can't stand the very idea of effort or adversity and need to have everything served to them on a silver platter.

Thin-bloods could create new disciplines even in old VtM. They're just not able to reach the same level of power in actually using disciplines that true vampires can (unless they diablerize their way to a lower generation, in which case they lose all the advantages of being a thin-blood).

you're right, it's a buggy game due to running an alpha version of the source engine and Valve being huge faggots about not helping out the developers with it's buggy mess, and the combat as well is shit.
but people don't like VTM:B for it's combat or engine, they like it because it's a solid RPG with great storytelling and ways to complete quests, choices actually mattering and tidbits of easter eggs that do the source material justice
>You didn't need to play it to see the gameplay was horrible and hence a "hipster" movement surrounded its main praise.
VTM:B fans like the game for it's quest and writing, not it's gameplay.
you can see every VTM:B fan bitch about the sewer mission where there's no way to go around it but do combat, which is horrible.

You make checks in dialogue that can effect your game.
That is why its praised, also yes the writing is good objectively if you disagree you have shit taste. Seeing as you didn't play the game you wouldn't know and can't argue against it.
If think combat is the only thing that makes a good game you're probably a fan of that Rabbit furry fighting game.

i literally just saw the player obtain a gun. miss every single shot because the sensitivity was too low and the slowly sidestepping enemy was too fast. the player ran out of bullets missing every shot and went back to melee, and the melee autolocks to the enemy so the player was able to win.
this shit never ceases to amaze me. this is worse than the duke nukem footage.

The gameplay of the first one was janky, but I loved it was a great sandbox with great worldbuilding as opposed to randomly generated assets. Every single one of your choices mattered too.
With the SJW writers though? It's not going to be good since they write their games like PSAs. They hamfist anti-trump allegories, NYT/WAPO opeds, and leftist twitter hot takes. As opposed to having multiple routes, you're going to have a homogenous one with a different coat of paint.

The original Vtm Tabletop rpg made it so Thin bloods could get disciplines just they couldn't level them up to 5 points like regular vampires could. The blood was essentially too far removed from Caine. To what extent they could was usually 1-2 points. On the flipside the player didn't have the same weaknesses like you didn't feel the Beast as much and you could walk around in sunlight. There were logical reasons to play one in the tabletop since you could do things for the party that other players normally couldn't. I have no idea why you'd want to in a vidya.

Without Fortitude, nope. Celerity is pretty damn sweet (downright broken sometimes) but if you actually get hit and you don't have Fortitude and the other guy has Potence or any other offensive discipline, you're toast.

Opening move from the Gangrel would be a tornado of aggravated damage coming out of stealth. Fight would probably end right there. and if it doesn't then Protean let's them turn into mist and obfuscate let's them disappear so they can and do hit-and-runs to wear them down. Aggravated damage are hardest to heal and defend from so even in a prolonged fight they have a potent edge.
Even without the cheese, the claws and celerity alone make them top-tier melee fighters.

City Gangrel (and clan Assamite) are fucking traps designed for players who think VTM is about combat. Regular Gangrel beats them every time, hands down.
Heres how a Gangrel vs City Gangrel showdown goes.
Step 1: Gangrel use's animal scouts to find out where the city Gangrel sleeps during the day, while laying low to avoid ambush.
Step 2: Gangrel proceeds to burn the city gangrel's fucking haven down at sunrise when he falls asleep. Fortitude protects the gangrel from the fire he spreads, and from rays of sunlight as the sun starts to creep over the horizon. Alternatively, if the City Gangrel uses Protean 3 to sink into the fucking ground, the regular Gangrel can leave a timed explosive set to "Excavate" him once the sun is up. If the bomb doesn't kill the City Gangrel, the Sun will.
Step 3: Gangrel uses Protean 3 to sink into the ground once fire/bomb is set. No need to try to find a haven as the sun is coming up, risking further damage.
Get mad combat fags. VTM isn't about how many dice you can throw in a fight. Its about outsmarting your opponents. Thats why the best combat disciplines are Auspex, Animalism, and Thaumaturgy. And in those rare instances where you DO need to do a straight up fight, social characters STILL do better, because they can bring fucking friends. 4 hotheaded brujah neonate anarchs manipulated into a fight against a city Gangrel by a smarther Gangrel socialite? My money is on the Gangrel socialite.

Because the start is retarded. You start not as just a caitiff, but a thinblood as well, and your future clan is the one you get into when you leave becoming a thinblood, which iirc can only happen by decreasing your generation by diablerie, which can cause a stronger vampire to take over your body and turn the tables on you. The premise of the game so far as i've seen it is retarded.

I should add this is taking into account that almost all vampires despise thinbloods so I can't see why anyone would want to even associate with a thinblood protagonist, other than by virtue of the fact that you're the protag, and are by default special, rather than just being a cog in the machine in the first one debateably, at least a first before you start to get stronger exponentially, to the point you outpower all other vampires in the city, except maybe the taxi driver
But at least the first had the advantage of believeability as to why you were working for lacroix and his cronies, and then branched out through first your affiliation to lacroix, then your own proven talent/strength.

I think it's operating on the new pozzed lore, where thinbloods are donut steal special faggots that aren't killed on sight for being an embarrassment to all vampires or used as cheap cannon fodder.
Still, it's beyond retarded to make the protagonist one of the weakest and most marginalized kinds of vampire around, and then have them take central place in very significant events. At least with Bloodlines 1 you were a vampire of an unspecified generation (and definitely not a thinblood), which gave the writers a certain degree of leeway in explaining how you could do all the shit you did.
Hell, there's not even a gameplay reason to make the protagonist a thinblood other than the developers being lazy shits that can't be bothered to make unique content for each Clan - mostly because they know their audience only cares about the homosex and won't replay the game after finishing it once.

It'd actually be a cool concept if done right, like if you were starving and were attacked by some low rank vampire, barely above you, and you drain him dry on instinct, accidentally diablerizing him, and consequently getting yourself marked, and then having a hunt called on you, where you're constantly forced to diablizerize more and more vampires, slowly travelling down the chain of generations, with side quests or important activities to hold onto your soul/consciousness, before another vampire robs you of your body, with a multiple choice ending, detailing whether or not you did all the required prerequisites to hold onto your self/soul, or lost it to a stronger vampire you ate, or accidentally merged with him, or several of the vampires you've devoured over time. Could even add in clan factions to side with at the same time. Course, I doubt they'd do anything as cool as this, instead opting for some retarded sjw nonsense about trump, how great the lgbt community is and a time for the future.
>>16695663
That's so stupid. But then they do give you the option to somehow join different clans, despite clans being essentially distinct races, especially so for nosferatu. And yeah, the whole thinblood thing feels like such a cop out and retarded plot device to not have to make visually distinct clans, as well as potentially merging together all the clan trees for you at once.

Like dracula or whatever made your guy to just to fuck with the other vampires and see what they would do and that's why you get all these awesome new powers that they've never seen before and they think you're thinblood but it's really because you are so powerful you don't even have any weaknesses and then you find out that dracula is really a homophobic bigot, at the end of course after he tells you that he's your dad, and you get to choose to accept his love and be the prince of all the vampires forever, or you can be like "fuck you dad! I'm gay and proud!" and then you diablerize him and become, like, the Goku of vampires and enforce eternal lgbbqt rights on all of vampirekind forever?

"Can" being the operative word. Some get minor enhanced physical strength and speed, some get a little taste of some of the more obscure powers of their clan. Then again, some are basically just regular humans who can even stand the sunlight, albeit still not full-blown out-in-an-open-field daylight.

>I thought thinblood meant you were a loser who didn't get access to shit.
It's not you. You're correct.
Technically Camarilla hunted thinbloods on sight as they were both considered a sign of the end of times (for the nodists) and a walking mascarade violation (especially since some of them could walk in daylight or even have kids).
Sabbat also considered them a sign of the end time, but produce the most of them through shovelhead-ism (mass embrace for fights). Now in theory the best shovelheads in sabbat could be rewarded by diablerizing a captured enemy (or in fights) allowing them to break free of their thin bloodism and becoming a full fledged vampire (as you get gen-1 for drinking vampire blood at least gen-2 from you).
But we're talking about when vampire was cool (which VTM bloodlines was drawing upon), aka early 90's vampire, 3 or 4 edition before current year vampire… and 3 or 4 edition before it turned to shit.
So basically for a thinblood to gain power you have to be a Sabbat char (and a snowflake already) or the most snowflaky snowflake char ever written.
It's the reason why the thinbloods are terrified of you in VTM:B and one of the coolest interaction in the game.
For everyone else you're a gofer (because you are), humans is just cattle you shouldn't care but neither do they.
Meanwhile the thinbloods know what you are.. and are properly terrified because their interaction with vampires is usually to be chased off (by nightmares, enforcers of a local superstitious baron, sabbath monsters, sheriff of a prince conducting a purge because there is too many) as they're seen a bad luck in a territory or outright killed in the worst case scenario.
While at the same time they barely have clue what the rules are.
All the thinblood quests in VTM:B are great as they all come with a plethora of decently written moral choices.
Are you fine with one of the more human specimen being used as a bloodbag (as humans are)? Should a guy that is breaking the mascarade but is just trying to make meets end of his terrible situation be killed?
Etc…
So yeah if you had to retcon something it shouldn't be that.

No. First a "mascarade" (brits writes it with "que" to make it sound more french than the actual word french is, it's from back when it was cool to speak french. Except the french took it from the italian mascherata/mascarata… so no "que").
Mascarade is never a "joke" in french, in it's most pejorative form it's an hypocritical nonsense of a situation, a farce (and not a farse). A farce is not innocent, the current year world we live in is the textbook definition of a farce. It's funny but there is a serious underline of grim in nature.
In it's original form it's a masked-ball/carnival.
In it's figurative form it's an assembly of people that all have different agendas (wear figurative masks).
In it's pejorative for it's an assembly of hypocrites.
In it's derogative form it's a situation were people are so two faced it reaches absurdity.
And all of this is the same in english.
And which is why it fits the vampire society rule so well.
Because the vampire Masquarade is all of those things at the same time.

You're probably going to be diablerizing some 13th gen neonate loser, not an elder, so possession isn't a big risk (the better question is why the fuck the Camarilla would accept a diablerist, but apparently in V5 they're slightly more lenient about that during blood hunts).

this is the true and correct use of the word in most context.
But there are some instances (even if they are language abuses) when pleople use the word in a much lighter way and remove the grim part of it: keeping just the ridiculous aspect fo it and the sense of a figurative joke.
It is, trully a stretch, but you could in a very specific situation with a certain intonation, use this word instead of "joke" when you are speaking about a whole situation.
But your post says the truth, i can't deny that. And i am not saying the title is inappropriate, it is, as you said totally apropriate to the game.

Apparently this game was spawned after a few drunk jokes.
The guy who runs Hardsuit Labs was at some point speaking with the license holder of Vampire while they both were having a drink.
The joke just went around
>Wouldn't it be funny if we were making a Vampire: The Masquerade sequel?
>Yeah it would!
And then it took off from there.
Granted this could be bullshit as this was told by my friend who extensively followed Hardsuit Labs, I actually couldn't find this story so i'll ask him about a proper source later.

vamp/vamp "sex" is implied to be foreplay and swapping blood, leading to mutual bloodbond. Generally viewed as the reckless actions of younger vamps trying to feel human again and underestimating the dangers of being bloodbonded.
Vamp/human (which Jeanette is rumored to engage in as well) is worse than someone fucking a dog. Because 1. They are for all intents and purposes dead, their libido died with their body 2. Even if they could orgasm, it is nothing compared to the pleasure of feeding (even for the humans, being fed on is on par with having sex) and 3. It's unseemly to play with your food.
