Vampire the Masquerade Bloodlines 🎃 SEXTERITY CHECK | Hallowstream 2022

[@sarahbrivio4159]

Please just have Jane play the whole game from scratch and stream it , we would 100% watch the whole thing !!

[@katfromthekong414]

Agreed

[@JameSeraphim]

I concur

[@luismunoz588]

I fourth this motion!

[@thompse412]

Right?

[@nelsonandrew8]

I second that ✋

[@gaylerichardson7828]

But consider, Masquerade Mondays, Andy, you know you want to!

[@thepiedpiper3034]

I would watch it!

[@ohhoworiginal]

Aye!

[@jeramycurtis3872]

I would watch it

[@ChristianDeLarge]

For real, please create a full play through starring Jane or Mike or Luke or, really ANYONE in the office. Your loving fans will watch the whole thing repeatedly. Thank you for the makeup stream! You guys are the best. Love, the guy in the wheelchair from the VOD Squad.

[@AngelBeatYunara]

Stream bites off at 1:15!

[@katfromthekong414]

Reliable as always 😁👍🏼

[@CodaBlair]

Booooo!!!! (Thank you)

[@spankyavalon]

40:38 The 4th wall break could just mean that the nameless guy was a Malkavian, crazy but with a sense of greater knowledge, like he knows he's in a video game.

[@ArkaneStephanie]

I like how Mikes stealth technique is: Turn on all the cameras Set off the horn Start the engines of the ship he is on Go in completely the wrong direction And most importantly, repeatedly smash a wrench on a metal container. I'm sure nobody will notice the *CLANG CLANG CLANG*

[@nathangoedeke694]

Jane on seduction: "You can do it out in the open if they are into it"

[@BogeyTheBear]

Remember the Jackbox game about imposters-- and Jane's answer to how many dates are needed before the clothes come off?

[@lock376]

No what was it

[@MSte21]

@@lock376 I think it was 1? Not sure.

[@typacsk]

I think her initial answer was "zero," but the others convinced her that that was the same modus operandi as a flasher.

Jane: "Can't eat him now he's dead." 14:21 Me, someone who's currently playing a Hecata with the Graverobber predator type: "Not with that attitude you can't."

[@darklord884]

Ah, a V5 joke, allow me to answer with a joke from Revised: Jane: "Can't eat him now he's dead." Giovanni with Wasteful Consumption Flaw equipped: "Heheh, waste not want not."

​​@@darklord884 Or splat books. Nagarajah: They're best when they're dead.

[@haravikk]

1:39:55 while it's logical to keep the deck cams off, it's a shame they didn't realise early they could just use the cameras to complete the quest (as there's a camera overlooking the sarcophagus), and the manifest is in the records room below. Do it this way and you don't even need to do 90% of the forced stealth. Also, next Hallowstream *please* try to do the quests A Plague for the Angels, Calling Dr. Grout, and Necromantic; they're the best horror quests at this stage of the game (before you eventually get to the really horrible Snuff is Enough questline).

[@patrickj]

Necromantic was the first one I thought about, when they entered Downtown. Would've been quite fitting for Hallowstream. A Plague for the Angels is the one with the "cancer lord" guy and the fight in the very red, very gross room? Perfectly on topic too!

[@haravikk]

@@patrickj Yeah, there's some nasty stuff in downtown!

[@TheWindii]

I love how it looks like Jane is constantly looming over Andy's shoulder.

[@Borderlines]

I can't believe Mike badmouthed the Camarilla in front of Jane. What a madlad

[@katfromthekong414]

The great dumpster confusion made me laugh out loud 👌🏼😂

[@madphantompixels6478]

I see Mike has renewed his membership to "bad at stealth by default". 😆

[@despotguyver]

I'd love a Jane lo-fi playthrough of this.

[@nightmarethrenody8232]

Lo-fi vamps to seduce to

[@artry93]

What happened with Henry Cavill as the main protagonist in the Witcher?

[@benoevil]

@@artry93 he's doing superman movie again

[@BogeyTheBear]

41:28 I played this game on a clunky old laptop that was heavier than a neutron star... which apparently did not have enough computing power to render a half-decent framerate. I never saw the Sabbat actually run up to Nines-- he just blinked into place and I thought it was just a case of vampiric celerity.

[@chuiduma]

OMG. I'm so glad I started watching all your Hallowstream videos. I had this game when it first came out and loved it. Between then and the next couple years I lost the game and my desktop from high school fried, so I lost all my files and couldn't figure out what it was called to replace it. I've been trying for like the last 18 years to figure out what game it was! 😅

[@HellenaHanbaskit]

I would absolutely watch a full playthrough of this classic game and your hijinx :)

[@WorldWearyAngel]

Andy gets me I absolutely DID put up a tiny Christmas tree with Nightmare Before Christmas ornaments and purple and orange lights and leave it up till after Christmas xD I feel seen!!

[@thepiedpiper3034]

Ah, watching these 3 play VtMB is always brilliant! Helping us fulfill our cravings while we wait Bloodlines 2. After which, of course, we will presumably also get video games for all the other great game lines. More, better games for Werewolf, Wraith, and Hunter. Some new stuff for Demon, Mummy, Mage, and Changeling would also be wondrous. Perhaps even something for Orpheus despite its subsumption into Hunter as one of the big monster corporations. Hope with fingers crossed while praying for the perfect timeline!

[@thepiedpiper3034]

Can’t wait until we meet the Giovanni and Tzimisce

[@sywrexile3078]

This was "Mike-ing" in the truest sense 😅

[@Rmat7]

I will never get tired of OX streaming this 😂

[@jlp11889]

Don't forget to use Fortitude. It reduces the damage you take for a time and costs 1 point.

[@Pbmarron]

Vampire the Masquerade should be the next Oxventure series the gang plays in tandem with DnD.

[@alexandersmit4256]

I quite enjoyed the (basically) flawless Mike stealth. I also noticed that the aggro guys on the beach were the drug/bomb dealer from up the stairs and 2 of his thugs. I thought they ate him the last time.

[@mykene2035]

OMG! We're those ppl who have a Halloween tree. We just bought a ghost tree topper and some orange string lights for it.

[@bigbadgrun8821]

I have been waiting since this game came out for a sequel. I am so excited and nervous at the same time. I just want thank you all for streaming this game and bringing it to the attention of the next generation of gamers. I patiently await the sequel.

[@thepiedpiper3034]

Hopes for Bloodlines 2; playable Tzimisce and Hecata. Maybe even join the Sabbat, join a path

[@alphamike87]

I love Mom’s Got a Date with a Vampire, is has Mr Sheffield from The Nanny as the vampire, he also did my favourite Voice Over in Saints Row and Laura Vandervoort and Caroline Rhea are in it

[@junta812]

Thanks for the awesome Vampireing Outside Xbox. 🙂

[@gamepassghost]

Hey Andy! it could be worse, my self made demo reel for the Witcher casting has me now banned from the local Taxidermists. In hindsight, sticking the party hat on the horses head might be what did it....

[@nightmarethrenody8232]

There are worse Witcher-related things you could’ve done with a stuffed horse…

[@nickgreen3266]

I used to work a few blocks away from the Limelight Gym and it is very weird that it's a gym. Haha

[@Icam_here]

great stream, nice to see some more VtMB and maybe we can get some more between now and next hallowstream also i have to question towards the end if Jane was asking Mike to save scum or telling Mike save and calling him scum

[@mudohanma]

I too have a black Halloween tree covered in jack o lantern bell ornaments and it stays up year round.

[@BogeyTheBear]

The first year I moved in, I decided to go all-out for Halloween so I could hand out candy. Lucked out big-time at Party City that year because they sold these resin-stone skulls that were too good to put away in November. The skull has been sitting out on the bookshelf ever since.

[@djbayr9516]

Ventrue seem like the corporate managers in the White Wolf world of vampires.

[@anthopea]

Mike should do a Malkavian run as totally fits with how he plays

[@ndld4955]

Jane why did you kill that businessman.? Jane: my finger slipped 😏😈🤣

[@oxfanblink4115]

😏😈🤣 Wonder how many of us instinctively looked at her with suspicion watching live 😅

[@chillhour6155]

VTMB always feels like home

[@rashkavar]

So...the entire Elizabeth Dane mission can be done from the computer. Deck Cams On lets you see the sarcophagus you need to see from the security camera on the other monitor. unlock records unlocks a room with some records you can steal right below you, which is completely unguarded because it's locked....it's an extremely easy mission if you poke around with the computer a bit. Or you can go out and see it in person and have it be a nightmare in the patch because it fixes the absurdly forgiving stealth mechanics that the horrendously unstable base game had. Which, y'know, is a good thing because some of the instability would corrupt multiple save files or something ridiculous like that. But it does mean stealth actually needs you to pay attention now.

[@philmorton4590]

Please give me the sequel, I no longer care how bad or not, just get it done, you'll make alot of money either way!

[@douggiles7647]

Mike: 3 minutes is plenty of time to get out Also Mike:*panicking after wandering around lazily* There's no time to get out! There's no time! .... And final death

[@michaelmarix8257]

Funny thing about the ship mission. Just turn deck cams on and cycle through them, and the mission is done

[@connorburton1009]

Could we get a link to the failed stream of this in the description? I'm sure I'm not the only person who would still like to watch it, even if it had massive technical issues.

[@freddiehoy7224]

A lot of it was just dark screens while they tried to get it all working

[@MySerpentine]

If you're a Malk there are many, many 4th-wall breaks. Also arguments with stop signs.

[@BogeyTheBear]

1:05:15 And the most hilarious mind control option you can use in this instance-- "You're a hungry bear. Don't you want to eat the juicy salmon standing beside you?"

[@Bobsikus]

I can remember playing this on old computer, took ages to load

[@kieranshorten5135]

Saw someone online suggest Mads Mikkelsen as the replacement for Cavill as Geralt and I think that would be really cool

[@thrasherxv2061]

Yay me and Andy have the same blood type! I gave blood when I was in high school but haven’t done it in a while.

[@persephoneunderground845]

If you have never played the Clan Quest mod (which most notably adds the Sabbat clan as a fully joinable faction) for VtMB it's *almost* like having a sequel- or at least a solid DLC. If you join the Sabbat, pretty much the second half of the game has a whole new section of quests, a fleshed-out faction with different people vying for leadership, and its own neighborhood. It feels like it was part of the game all along, no obvious seams between the mod and main game really. Plus you have the option to burn LaCroix in the sunrise on top of his tower (and not get killed yourself) if you get the best Sabbat loyalist ending. I also want to see the chaos that is Jane and/or Mike cut a swath as a Sabbat. Masquerade, pah!

[@connorburton1009]

Also, I can't help but notice we skipped the conclusion of the Jeanette and Therese arc. Was that intentional, or was that part of the privated stream?

[@nightmarethrenody8232]

It wasn’t in the failed stream.

[@tjyork7928]

Was any1 else hit with the Witcher recast knowledge bomb, ruined my whole night!

[@jennifermay6990]

In all fairness, as a native Los Angelino, Downtown was a lot more shady in the 2000s. It has been a ton more gentrified since then.

[@phifflon]

Still an amzing game

[@ak43darkhell]

lol i was here no dude you missed the left turn lol

[@Joestone1984]

I think she learned her dance moves from Carlton Banks.

[@darklord884]

At this point I wonder when they'll play the actual tabletop version on the Oxventure channel. Imagine, Oxventure of Darkness.

[@nightmarethrenody8232]

Just imagine all the Bestial Failures Mike could roll

[@starminoui]

I’m a little sad you guys didn’t play the Outlast Trials beta. I watched someone stream it last night and looks great, I think you guys will love it.

[@erynnelken]

Please please do a full play through! Or at least take the test at the beginning of the game to see what clan y’all get!

[@Avatar1977]

I am flabbergasted that Jane didn't play as a Tremere so she could Eldritch Blast people

[@musicjunkiie2393]

what happened to the first part of this? i had it saved to watch but then it was removed

[@nightmarethrenody8232]

They tried to stream it, but there were lots of technical issues

[@The_Jester_Kissed_Fire]

A bit sad they didn't visit the "abandoned" hospital. Hopefully next Halloween.

[@matwetton]

too early in the game. need to get downtown for the hospital. they did do the ocean view hotel on a previous hallowstream though.

[@The_Jester_Kissed_Fire]

The did make it Downtown but got sidetracked. Anyway, it was fun.

[@miscalotastuff733]

does this work on steam deck?

[@KopaXTani]

Tried playing this game on Steam myself, then I started to realize that older, more fully open world games aren’t my thing. 😅

[@LungsOutJem]

I took a blood test. I don't mean to brag, but I scored the highest.... A+ 😁

CBGBs is now a corporate trendy cloth shop.

[@Airin1823]

My one advice is be careful of which class you make fun of. I always made fun of Bards, little did I know that I would end up playing Bards due to the fact my playstyle leans heavily to AOE (Area Of Effect)

[@katemoseley5522]

So slow to this, please please have Jane do a full play through series from scratch 👏

From playing the tabletop, seduction is usually a function of Manipulation rather than Appearance or Charisma. As statted, I fear that your sexy vampire is cute, but extremely basic.

[@VoxParanoia]

I guess Im confused. You guys are talking about waiting for a sequel but.... didnt a sequel just recently release? Or was it just a spin-off? I played the battle royale mode and wasn't very impressed.

[@TheNosnets]

There is a masquerade boardgame and VTMB2 playtest from a few years ago i think but the actual sequel to this game basically got scrapped and given to another company and presumably delayed further.

[@outsidexbox]

Yeah Blood Hunt is a battle royale only spin-off

[@dewtain1363]

[@dariendepalm8964]

Long-time OX watcher, first time commenter--I've watched the OX channels since before Andy could grow a beard and adore this team. I unsubscribed a couple of years ago though because, for some reason, only Mike & Ellen have the controller while the other three spectate. Those two are obviously valued members of the team but would it kill the brand if the ones who are actually good at video games played them? Fear Academy and Souls Academy are grand and all but do we really need two series watching Ellen learn to play a game three others members already know and are good at? I know this sounds a lot like b*tching, but after three years of watching the same two people struggle through game tutorials is, well, exhausting. Can we just get a mercy Andy Hitman or RDR2 stream or Luke playing literally anything? Please? 🥺

[@TheNosnets]

Watching Mike piloting the vampire frustrates me.
