Santa Monica - Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines (Rain and Thunder for 1 Hour) - Re-Upload

[@alarex8204]

This game helped me when i was living in a lonely city on my own for the first time. Felt so real when it was the only thing to come home to in a really overwhelming part of my life. Love to all those who enjoyed staying in this place as well.

[@khajiit5556]

I'm so impressed with atmosphere of this game it was so very well captured, its so unnerving and creepy but strangely comforting in someway. For me it gives the uncanny valley type feeling combined with 2004 textures and the source engine it just feels so creepy and aged yet it feels right. Truly a masterpiece like I have to replay it...

[@linuxtuxvolds5917]

this was on source? God wow....

[@LuckyBide]

There's no better atmosphere in a videogame than a rainy night one. Thank you for this !

[@JaxomNautilus]

You're welcome! It is indeed a great atmosphere, especially in this particular game!

[@ohnowendigos8804]

Creepy or comforting? Can't decide. But it is one hell of a mood that really takes me back

[@JaxomNautilus]

Haha. Could be both? :)

[@Azmina_the_warlock]

Familiar but still unsettling. The music really set the mood in this game. Like some areas felt like it was supposed to be chill but you couldn't quite relax. Always felt like you had to keep looking over your shoulder or something. A real masterpiece

[@Noxims47314]

since 2004, and still a delight.

[@marcossanmillanfadrique8190]

It is amazing how good this music is but, more than that, how good it fits the game, especially the part it represents. It first inspires calm, but a somehow tense one, with some intrigue, like the game itself at this part, where you have to investigate at a slow and careful pace a plot still covering seemingly minor ordinary stories. It also has a taste of nostalgia, like the one the character might feel looking back at a world of humans he used to know but he does not entirely belong to anymore. And there is even some very subtle touch of horror at times, deeper, to remind you about the mysterious and dark nature of the new reality of the vampires you are now. And with all that, there is also a little bit of despair, of rustiness, of decay, but with some grace, like the satirical but also kind perspective of our modern society and its most sordid aspects the game has.

[@Phanatic89]

Pleasantly surprised that this exists.

[@JaxomNautilus]

Hopefully it's what you wanted.

[@angreyalligator3811]

This game has aged like a fine wine... blood wine that is! the soundtrack is legendary!

[@autastic1]

Such a good song. Perfectly fits the tone of the game, gives off that perfect aura of mystery.

[@JaxomNautilus]

Indeed. The soundtrack in general was paired very well with the game's story and environments.

[@gregoryvn3]

Nice. Straight into the summer playlist you go.

[@sonicology]

I'm playing through VtM: Night Road at the moment, and this is perfect ambient music. Thanks for the upload!

[@JaxomNautilus]

Happy you could find some good use for it!

[@drunkenwoodelf]

Is it weird that this is really comforting to me whenever my anxiety disorders are kicking my ass? I'm curled up in a ball like a malkavian in deep "introspection", somehow this helps unfurl my dumb ass.

[@zerandril]

Many Thanks - I love the VTMB soundtrack and especially this track - I was hoping to find an 1 hour version of it - perfect for studying =)

[@JaxomNautilus]

Glad to hear it! It is fantastic music. Enjoy and good luck with your studies!

[@Violet-wj5fc]

Noch einer der die Soundtracks gerne beim lernen hört ;)

[@sadneet7087]

Thank you so much for posting this! I listen to it every night when I sleep. Feels like I'm home

[@JaxomNautilus]

Aww. No problem. Glad I could help!

[@doraszucs5099]

Jeeez, this is my favourite track, and I really liked that when it was rainy in the game. I love it! Thank you for this video!!

[@JaxomNautilus]

No problem! Bloodlines has incredible ambient music.

[@kennyfauste6901]

Honestly using this a white noise when I sleep nowadays lol

[@SerMattzio]

This is awesome, well done. I could sleep to this! This game has relatively simple environments but such solid atmosphere

[@JaxomNautilus]

Agreed; it works well because it doesn't try too hard! There will never be another game like this, even if BL2 ever comes out.

[@majormoo1]

the rain would lag my computer hardcore had to look at floor to stop it ahhh shitty computer throwback whoop whoop

[@JaxomNautilus]

Hahaha! Nice.

[@BubblewrapHighway]

Same here! I remember leaving the apt building, getting up to make dinner for 20 mins and still coming back to a loading screen.

[@gvoah]

Comfy

[@JaxomNautilus]

:)

[@holden6104]

I just realized Bloodlines needs a weather mod lol.

[@f17coolplane]

Came here from the FFXIV vids, never expected you to have covered VTMB. I love it.

[@JaxomNautilus]

[@Yendorion]

I still play this in my car stereo while driving at night especially in rainy weather

[@davidmarshall7390]

Tell me the story of the Lady by the Sea....

[@murdokb2246]

You re a new kindred in this city

[@777Janova]

This single handedly helped me fix my sleep. I don't think I have to talk about the atmosphere, it's *sefs kisses.* Also pro tip: now I feel badass when I walk home through Prague alone at night. Try it. (I mean if your city is safe)

Vampire beats to feast on kine and discuss Camarilla politics to.

[@DrSmashBest]

Теперь я буду засыпать под это саунд

[@JaxomNautilus]

я рад это слышать *Hopefully translated correctly through Google Translate

[@NetPathfinder]

Обожаю гулять по старой части своего города под треки из ВТМБ.

[@Etymon-jt3zw]

I kinda like to make my own playlist for video games. When I was playing this one VTM. I would often listen to The Queen of the damned or blade soundtrack. Even though they had a great soundtrack I didn't shut their's off. I just listened to them both at the same time. But I find myself using this soundtrack background music for cyberpunk. They're both glitchy masterpieces so it fits well. I know it's probably weird but it's fun. It would make sense if you were a MaLkAviaN although I've always liked the Toreadors better.

[@JaxomNautilus]

Whatever makes you happy! I can definitely see the VtMB soundtrack over some of those Cyberpunk scenes for sure.

[@Elburion]

I am selfish. I want a remake of this game.

[@JaxomNautilus]

I think that's perfectly understandable. With the right team, this could be a phenomenal modernized vision.

[@tonylife94]

It's funny that Santa Monica from the 2004 horror computer game looks nicer than the real one from modern times.

[@leilanipunanimania6815]

Can you maybe do a long version of thunder and rain coupled with dark organ music like Bach or another composer with dark ominous organs?

[@JaxomNautilus]

Oooh. Interesting. Any song in mind, or just so long as it is "dark ominous organs?"

[@leilanipunanimania6815]

@@JaxomNautilus l really like toccata and fugue in D Minor by Bach, so something in that area. I want to feel like I’m in my castle mansion while it storms outside and I’m doing spellwork to these ominous pipe organs lolol.

[@JaxomNautilus]

I'll see what I can do! :)

[@HuWhiteDeath]

What's the haps, bruh?!

[@matthewc877]

Would be great if it wasn’t for the ads… on an ambience track…

[@JaxomNautilus]

Agreed. There is no monetization on my channel (and there never will be), but KZbin still throws ads wherever it wants to make money. I'm sorry that this track has been hit with them. :(

[@matthewc877]

@@JaxomNautilus ahh, that’s really bad on their part. Thanks for the upload though!

[@kerimoz4206]

What's the name of tje background music in 5:10???

[@madman19979]

You can barely hear the music, man
