I wonder how much of the Bloodlines 2 run rate these visual novels are covering.

I just saw a playthrough of TCR's latest game "Still Wakes the Deep" and it's a walking simulator with a weak story. That could describe every game from them. VtM2 going to break the trend? lol :rip:

I stopped my watch after 40 minutes because I was bored out of my mind.


-Insipid smalltalk with NPCs I don't care about, delivering clumsy exposition
-Linear as ****
-Walkthrough player clearly getting annoyed that 90% of all doors cant be opened despite being interactive
-Obnoxious hand waving whenever you run
-Protagonist comments on every goddamn thing (generic swear factory style)
-People getting merked offscreen like 5 times in a row
-Surprisingly janky

Not a game for me.

There's a hint of platforming and the occasional quicktime event. But yes, a walking simulator :turtle:

Even gayer than just being a walking simulator.

The platforming is a straight line covered in yellow paint. I'm not even kidding.

Here's hoping you will mark interactable stuff yellow too. Otherwise I ain't buying that ****.

A video appeared on the webs showing a few minutes of the pre alpha gameplay before the game had been handed from Hardsuit Labs to Chinese Room.

Not half bad for a pre alpha. Certainly better then whatever Chinese room is cooking so far.

Phasmophobia has an abandoned asylum and the prison map has a medical section with hospital beds.

The actual article title is even more scathing holy ****

'Bloodlines 3 [Will be] Done by Someone Else:' Paradox Is Done With Vampire: The Masquerade After Bloodlines 2 Debacle

https://www.ign.com/articles/paradox-ch ... meone-else

Imagine having a product so **** you can't even shill for it yourself.

I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

clearly pre-alpha, unpolished, mediocre etc.etc.

yet looks more appealing than the cringe inducing piles of **** TCR has been demonstrating. They really really ******* suck.

TCR is next level ****.

Literally giving it to some rando on the streets would have a better chance of being good at this point.

Hopefully Bloodlines 2 kills the Chinese Room.
