General World of Darkness Discussion Thread QQ Edition

Reader mode
I'm expecting it to flop, hard.

The fans are all upset because it's not a Bloodlines game, and it's got problems when it comes to being a VtM game.

But VtM may gain new fans.

Just not enough to matter.

Not after the years of development hell. Not after the mismanagement. I'm willing to put internet bucks down that PDX already knows they're going to take a loss.

I'm hoping that maybe they might learn lessons from VTMB2 and WTAEarthblood and we might get a decent game... eventually.

But it will not be this game.

being fair from what I hear of the Wraith VR game it's apparently pretty great

I also heard the Wraith game is pretty good for what it is.

Considering we now have the reviews for Bloodlines 2 and a few days before release, what are your last minute predictions?

Mine is: Average for WoD fans, bad in general. If I didn't love WoD, I wouldn't have spend a dime until it is 50% off and continue playing the new Digimon game.

my prediction: "okay-ish" for general folks, bad for WOD fans and really bad for fans of the original bloodlines.

As WoD fans, we have been living off text games, Earthblood and...Wraith VR game :D

There also was a Vampire VR Game, called VtM Justice that nobody played because it only released on the Meta Quest. Oh and there was also VTM: Swansong, which wasn't great and VtM: Bloodhunt the Vampire Battle Royal game (It still baffles me that this game has been made). So Bloodlines 2 will probably join the set of recently released VtM games that would have probably been better off without the VTM license attached to it and instead being normal "vampire" games.

Which shouldn't be that surprising, since I'm not sure if anyone making decisions at PDX actually knows what made "WOD" be "WOD" instead of just generic "urban fantasy".

I think it's shut down now, which is a shame, because while it wasn't a particularly wonderful VtM game, it fucking slapped as a battle royal.

Ah, I heard they shut down or were planning to shut down the servers.

My computer and internet are now shit, so I haven't been able to play.

I couldn't tell you. I never played Battle Royals but from what I read on the internet it seems like it was a pretty good one. Still from my understanding they tried to market it towards "WOD fans" which I don't think is the right target audience for a battle royal.

Oh, it 100% came out of left field. Most WoD fans were flabbergasted, from what I can remember.

And it definitely came out way too late for battle royal fans.
