I love it because you'll feed on someone you didn't think was too important to only find out that you ruined the life of someone innocent by taking that person out of their life

[@taheemlewis7627]

thats works well if your play a villain role. guy pisses you off so you stalk his daughter and munch on her neck or something.

[@NoMaG5pc]

yup, I fed on someone whom I thought was irrelevant and some other random person in her social circle went missing and afterwards became a beast

[@brandonhinton2073]

I wonder how far you can take learning about someone can you go all the way then know how it would effect everyone before you feed on them or do you always take a risk. Another thought is on a "NG+" playthrough they could change the relationships to always force us to investigate/take calculated risks.

Honestly, if they had a bigger budget and more time to finish up and polish the game, this might've been one of the best RPGs. At the moment, the most people say "it's not bad".

[@meurer13daniel]

Ezkii Mehh it's that we are used to AAA games. When you see a very well made AA launch with a few minor erros, people like to use "sounds ok". If you think about, it actually shows how good the game is. For a low budget, being slightly compared to AAA is quite impressive

[@toribarron5700]

I love it. Gets better the more I play. But... it is probably 60% adventure game, talking to people, looking for items... and about 40% exploring and fighting. So be prepared. It is more of a Telltale style game than most RPGS. This gives it a LOT of story... which makes it more interesting... but slows the pace down. As double A games go, it is really stable upon release, and even though the graphics are dated, it is atmospheric and suspends my disbelief frequently. The game is made to give you a bunch of hard decisions and let you decide what to do from there. It is far from perfect but it works often enough, and is truly unique. Definitely worth a buy, but if you don’t need a game immediately, you can certainly wait for a sale.

Its easy to go along with a doctor who specializes in blood as a vampire, because story wise, it could lead to him having a passion how to find new alternatives to satisfying his thirst for blood since it saves lives and allows other vampires to recognize his expertise and how to coexist in a city with humans and vampires working together. Could lead to a very good story where vampires can be everywhere without having to constantly have a mob rioting after them. Maybe the best vampires are all doctors since time isn't relevant to them and this is their way of "agriculture" or farming to upkeep their lifestyle. Makes you think if the last doctor who help you out at whatever clinic or hospital lives a hedonistic blood sucking life. Nah...that's just me imagining this.

I have played a little of the game so far. I don’t know why but it kinda in my mind is put in the same spot as Hellblade.

Not a dev, but the combat animations looked very loose and jarring compared to the solid animation in other points of the game. It's almost as it combat was not give the tender love and care other game aspects got. Some updates may help but it might be too labor intensive to add more combat animations to completely address the issue. But again, not a dev. May just be full of crap.

[@p4p3rb4pu55y]

Big Boss >> I definitely agree combat looks a bit floaty..and that dark souls lock on mechanic doesn’t lend the protagonist any favors either..the reason “nioh” worked so well was because the fighting system was solid...who the hell cares how enthralling the story is..if the gameplay is off...I can’t roll on devs just pushing titles out the door and fixing them later...that seems to be a trend now...hellblade looks volumes better than this...and is alot more polished gameplay wise...I think they should’ve sat on this one for like a half a year just to fine tune it...

[@codyvandal2860]

Ness Holla I was thinking the same thing. It has lock on, dodge, attack, power. Basically the control scheme of soul reaver from 15 years ago. No roll, no heavy attack, no block - well your feral zombie/vampire enemeies can block but you cant apparently. I enjoy the story aspects but I just keep wondering what the devs were thinking when they put this combat together.

This is a channel I just found recently which I just got another Xbox one S at Christmas (had one after Xbox one launch but had to sell, years since I played). But I used to get frustrated in trying to find a review, especially with Xbox gamepass, in deciding whether I wanna actually try a title out. This channel does a review as it should be done, roughly 6-7 minutes, no bs. I will note the metal gear solid V phantom pain review was bias and generally a review should be emotionally separated. He said he's a huge metal gear fan and after spending hours upon hours with it, it's great.... I downloaded that and will be playing tonight or tomorrow. So even his one *biased* review sold me.

[@KaneTemplar]

Loved Vampyr, so much so I played it through 3 times, got the Platinum, saw both endings and I am longing for more vampire games of this type, though hopefull with slighlty more polished combat and some bug fixes. I loved how characters reacted to certain deaths, and how districts we're impacted by the choices made. It made me feel conected to thr situation and like the reviewer made me very selective (on mt free for all playthrough) about who and why I chose to kill, on occasion the dialogue felt long winded but overall kept me engrosed and interested, as doughtfull as DLC or a sequal would be I would find either/both most welcome, and even though this title had a low budget they produced in my opinion a great triple A game, more deep narative single player games are needed.

[@editorrbr2107]

I really, really liked this game. Dr. Reid’s backstory, and the post-Great War London, is really an interesting premise. I’m a sucker for story-driven games. But he is right, this game has a *lot* of talking, and the combat isn’t anything special. Like Hellblade, the combat isn’t the draw.

The voice acting in this game is pretty solid. I don't remember any stand-out moments, good or bad. The dialogue itself can be a bit circuitous with optional dialogue like asking a question, receiving an answer, then proceeding with the primary option only for the character to ask the same question he just got an answer to. That kind of thing really got under my skin and began to feel like those extra options were just wasting my time. The combat is enjoyable at the best of times and rage inducing at the worst. Blinking from left to right while a lone human desperately tries to reload his crossbow in a dark alley is pretty exhilarating; it really captures the feeling of the nocturnal apex predator. However, at least on the Xbox One, enemies have a tendency to close wide distances between themselves and the player during attack animations that result in unfair hits. If I had a dollar for every time an enemy started an attack from across the street and slid into me for some cheap damage I'd be as wealthy as a Dawson (ha). Stamina is a vital resource in this game's combat system and you want to use it as judiciously as possible. If a target is outside of melee range, you don't want to waste stamina by dodging or parrying an attack that shouldn't have a chance of hitting you. Sometimes that works, but a lot of the time it doesn't. A lot of the deaths I suffered during my playtime were a direct result of this particular enemy behavior. The game was under a tight budget, so it's understandable for the combat to take more of a backseat role during development. It definitely feels more functional than it does enjoyable. Sometimes it just feels like filler between story bits. I would have loved to see the combat and exploration expanded into a more stealth-action style like what we see in titles such as Horizon: Zero Dawn or Dishonored. Walking down the same street and encountering the same group of baddies just got a bit tedious for me. I'm about 90% of the way through the story right now. Looking forward to finishing it. Just waiting for the game to recover from it's latest crash. :P

I'm on my 2nd playthrough and that's rare for me. I have to really like a game to even get to the end of it once. This is up there with the Witcher 3, God of War, assassins creed odyssey, resident evil 2, as one of the best single player experiences of this Gen. I got it for $20,its free with game pass if you have Xbox but it's one of those games that after I finished it I would say for sure it's worth more than $60.i feel fortunate to own it for $20 and have recommended it to everyone I know

[@sundawg911]

I agree about rpgs, ppl complain but if it doesn't look like God of War level of graphics they dismiss it. I ordered it and so excited it to get my copy. Glad the story and progression holds up.

Watching after I've been playing it on Xbox Game Pass. I really enjoy it. It kind of reminds me of an old game called Nightmare Creatures which I believe was for PS1. I find myself watching reviews of games I've already played all the time. I just like to get other peoples opinions on the games I'm playing. I usually try to see if Angry Joe has reviewed the game, but if not I'll look for other popular game reviewers like I did with this game.

[@dezharpetgar2396]

I would have preferred walk being the default with a run button on the trigger just to hold Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

[@falx94]

This flew under my radar until I randomly came across it while researching early horror fiction out of sheer boredom ("The Vampyre", a short story from 1819 if anyone's interested). Reading a gameplay synopsis got me interested and watching this video basically sold me on giving it a try. The combat looks like it sort of resembles Bloodborne combat. As a diehard Souls fan, Bloodborne is the only one I never really could get into gameplay-wise, so I might share your lukewarm reception to the combat here, but the roleplaying elements all look really good. Obviously not Masquerade good, but worth a try. Good video, by the way. I love seeing actual gameplay as opposed to ten-minute cutscene ads. I'll have to check out this channel more.

[@ExMachina70]

Bloodlines was freaking awesome. I went into it not expecting much, but have actually played it multiple times with each class just to see how each class played out. Malkavian by far was the best, but each had their own merits. With that being said, every vampire game I play will be undeniably compared to that one.

[@Hundokan]

One of the best games I’ve played for years, since like Breath of the wild. Don’t miss out on this one folks 🤜🏻🤛🏻

As a new gamer I watched a fellow gamer play around on it and although it wasn’t my friend’s kind of game I truly am looking forward to playing it for myself. For as you said us one player gamers it’s perfect for figuring out strategy of where exactly to hold the gray line.

[@PulaskiSkater71]

Calamity Jones only a couple hours in but I'm loving it. Talking and interacting with characters and learning secrets is fun. Passive combat, decent skill tree to unlock new moves and powers. Graphics look a little dated but I don't find that distracting. It's different and linear which is what I been looking for. If you're on the fence about it, just wait for a deal they seem to happen all the time. Digitally anyway.

I had the opposite reaction. I had way more fun fighting then exploring in this game. I didn’t kill any interactive NPC for experience and was living off of mission exp and had a wonderful time fighting. After running around the map for the 100th time and sometimes to give out medicine to the sick, I got tired of how difficult the map was to get around to the various groups of civilians. I also had a lot of loading issues on my Xbox One S. Long load times and a lot of loading screens mid map.

[@Zzerberus]

There is also a looot of running around, backtracking, no fast travel to the hideouts. Locked doors everywhere so if you forget to open a door from one district to the other you are in for a lot of running through respawned enemies. Combat is simple but a pain in the ass against groups especially with keyboard and mouse cuz the target switching is not working. Very limited movement since you can not jump at all and the teleport only works on predefined locations. Other than that, its fine so far.

[@RollingxBigshot]

I was kinda hoping for some legacy of kain defiance mechanics where you’re constantly losing health unless you feast every now and then

[@donncamulos6191]

Also have to remember, the 2 games that you mentioned before this? They are the developer's only 2 other games. This is Dontnod's third game. This game is by no means perfect; but shows how much the developer has, well, developed. If nothing else, I'm getting this to support their growth.
