Honestly, it feels like VtMB's biggest enemy will always be the unfinished Engine it was made on. We need an OpenMW-style overhaul or a remake.

Soooo, I just bought the game from STEAM which mode should I play for the 1st time? I've already installed the unofficial patch 11.5

The game's lead designer, Ed del Castillo was proud that Battle Realms was released first before Warcraft 3 (and the latter had elements derived from BR), but he lamented that since Warcraft 3 has an established franchise, BR sadly was left behind despite its positive feedback. Anyone in SE Asia could attest how popular BR is that rivaled Warcraft 3 in Internet cafes during the 2000s. Ed del Castillo is still very active in social media and has a youtube channel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4uVqXWfeJJgobs

who is that guys saying "naaaasty"?

And now I have to play it again. Thx for the video.

You can look up, it's the z key. That's free look.

The fault of Battle Realms is its information isn't transparent. No numbers showing health points, damage, how much a unit resisting a type of damage, how long a stun last, how much damage poison does. These information must be transparent for the game to be competitive. A 10 years old me didn't know english but could still figured out those information in Warcraft 3 based on the numbers and icons.

The arsenal mod "makes it a little bit harder" wrong. It make it impossible to play

there is a second even cooler part to the warlock duel story, while most say that the winner is the warlock that emerges from the duel, some say that the skull is the real winner, since that warlock transcended his mortal form in order to gain greater knowledge of magic and can whisper it's secrets to the other warlock and thus has power over him

I do find it very funny how most of the weapons are post-WW2 weapons. I know its not easy but the fact they added custom modern guns instead of WW2 guns confuses me since its not just base guns but adding stuff that doesnt fit.

I have not yet arrived in China-Town. But for me as a Tremere this mod has been very good but the quest which I was waiting a long time to perform seemed very meh; The quest lends itself to much more content but is only limited to give me a walk through my mind, in the end I learned nothing about the Malkavian, I can not tell anything to Max and I could not diablerize the twins :(

God damnit I did it again!

From East LA and I agree with what you said lmao, great mod suggestions

I love how the game introduces you to this vampire world little by little. Yet it never does more than scratch the surface of this society.

I got this and freaking MORROWIND for a single price back in 2003 or 4. I grabbed it because it was the only other thing that looked half decent...but it was fantastic and one of the only RTS' I was any good at, along with Red Alert 2 and Majesty.

Nice game, with more TTRPG setting things and disciplines, I also love how we travel from past to modern times, and story... story is fine, but choices that affect humanity are too hidden and in some cases stupid. Combat are annoying, and I don't understand why they change Abilities and Skills system.

God that main theme still kicks ass. I love when games don't try hard to sound like film scores.

I wish we could get a battle realms 2 😢

if you don't want to go drinking with fat larry and smiling jack.... you're wrong

Its ncie to hear somone who shares my view that the OST's perfectly reflect the mood

Here we go again, reinstalling bloodlines

My Battle Realms disk exploded inside my pc over 15 years ago. only time something like that happened. I did play that game for the day it came out to the point the disk exploded non-stop. I had 3 more disks after that... still got the last one.

Hopefully the mod-author releases a new version soon. Updating the unofficial patch is a must and he could even use AI nowadays to fill in the blanks for the missing VAs and replace the less stellar performances. Thanks for the review.

Underrated

ty 4 the info dollface

I loved the diablerie part of the mod. I didn't much like having to go all the way into hollywood to get to enjoy it though. I also disagree with you about East LA, I think the hub is too big and empty and lacks character. For me it felt like I was inside a big square populated by smaller squares.

Is there a mod that lets me play as the good side?

Would like this game re-released on the Virtual Console for the Switch or get an HD 2D remake.

I also had the experience of no one but me and my brother know of this game it was such a pain to beat but i could get past the like third stage as a kid im glad its not some fever dream and an actual game If i remember correctly this is one of those games that can work with the snes mouse

Havent played 2 yet but I for one am glad now they included a time speed up option. Im having a cuppa tea right now waiting for the tattooist to open in sm1.

What graphical mods are you running? Or is that from the Clan quest overhaul as well?

For a low poly game, it lags on mid end or low end systems.

Yollak Bluderat!!!!

I respect everyone’s opinion on anything but for me personally you’re so wrong about shenmue series all 3 stand the test of time and still great to this day, shenmue changed the game made or developers to get better

Dont quit your day job

Shenmue is one of those game franchises that from the first time I played it back in 2022, I'll never forget. There just isn't anything like it. And there won't ever be anything like it.

Ive played this sooo much as a kid and got a pirated version as an adult.... Ive never known about the peasant horse O_O WTF sooo cooool

After playing for a bit, I would agree with this review. Not a bad game at all, but buy on sale.

Song of Horror is an extremely innovate game and not just in the horror genre. It combines certain mechanics and gameplay premises that I've never encountered before. I love the differing perspectives from multiple protagonists within the same sandbox. It's both interesting in how they present information and effective in the possibilities of how you play the game. Scardycats do not want those encounters that test serenity so you can mitigate the chances of them happening to an extent by how much noise your character is making. You want the low serenity characters to be extra quiet. Multiple characters exploring the same environments has huge potential for innovative gameplay mechanics, especially with the introduction of RPG style stats. I wouldn't be surprised if this game is hugely influencial for many years to come.

"Crusader Kings influence". more like KOEI games back in 90s.

Man, I love this game so much! And to this day, there is no alternative to this game. It is a shame.

For the Lotus!

Great game cant wait for them to update it for mobile

I don't understand why so few games like this have been made? Maybe they sell too poorly? But outside of that, an rpg in a vampire setting seems like a homerun. the amount of gameplay mechanics you can play with, the cool power fantasy but with added politics, and the limitations of moving through a human world. Its SO FUCKING COOL. LEMME RUN ON ROOFTOPS AND DRINK BLOOD!

Daikatana will probably forever be my guilty pleasure number one. I love half of it and have to scratch my head about the other half, it's truly half trash and half treasure. The problem with Daikatana, besides the hype and the inflated game it became, is that its flaws aren't subtle at all, they're up in your face and you have an idea to fix it within a second and often this idea would resolve in less work than how it's in the game. To the detriment of the game a lot of that is in the first episode, this one especially doesn't feel like being headed by not only an industry veteran but the father of the genre and a legend in level design, it's truly baffling. The other half is the game it could have been, that still can be seen through the trash. It's basically the last classic shooter for a while, this really shines at that time, I love the art design and variety of the four episodes, the levels, weapons and enemies while not quite working that great are in concept very interesting, the mix of sci-fi and fantasy, different time periods in countries all over the world. I also have a soft spot for the blocky models of that time, so glad this style has a resurgence. It's a game where you feel the passion behind it but also the chaos around it, in a lot of ways but in scope it feels backwards, as if this should have come out before Doom and Quake, having honest beginner mistakes, the design dialed back and focused to Doom and Quake. Since the story of The Fight For Justice was out before them this feels quite fitting...

“And new cutscenes” *stripper ass*

We need a Definitive Edition

Omg I loved the council. I’ve played thru it so many times. If it’s anything like it I’m gonna love this game

so... how did you like the third game? :D

I love this game! I would pay $200 for a sequel.
