Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines Review

[YuriPRIMEpoland]

However the ending can be different if you ally with Tremere and Straus

[CDTheBookMan]

@YuriPRIMEpoland Yeah, I didn't have time. I wish I could redo this one, but these new computers don't play old games well. Thanks for the comment.

[YuriPRIMEpoland]

I have no problem with the spoilers, so I'm fine with this review :) Thanks a lot, cheers.

zim-eats-ee

[CDTheBookMan]

@Gamelover383 Thank you as well.

[Gamelover383]

@CDTheBookMan :)

[complacentnation]

Oh come on. This was a fantastic review, you'll forget all the spoilers by the time you start focusing on the game. thanks for the review, the arnold sample made me lol. That's my favorite arnold sample!

[CDTheBookMan]

@complacentnation Thanks. Arnold is always funny.

[woog757]

Whew o__o Thank goodness I didn't watch the whole vid...

[Valdezb6p]

And all of you fuckers get off the man's back! I played this game 100 times and I still can't get bored. If he spoiled it for you than either you're a vampire and know everything about vampire world(which means you shouldn't play the game) or you are idiots without a life. Once again Carmine, you rock dude! xD

[CDTheBookMan]

@Valdezb6p Why thank you again sir. I appreciate the support, and the threats.

[Valdezb6p]

He didn't actually tell much though he shouldn't have mentioned the endings. But still guy's lotta fun ; you gotta give him credit for that :D Go Carmine!

[CDTheBookMan]

@Valdezb6p Thank you, my friend. I wasn't trying to ruin anything for anyone.

[Valdezb6p]

@CDTheBookMan Hey you made my day. I see we have experienced the game in the same way. If I haven't played it your video would make me want to. I'm not much of a gamer but I like RPG with good storyline. Plus the game is so out there that only way you could have spoiled it was to explain everything about clans, main story and goals. And that would take about a 100 min video. xD (my english ain't the best so forgive me if I made any grammar mistakes).

[germani181]

I'm glad I always read the comments before watching, if this cunt spoiled the game for me I'd be pissed...

[minipaganini]

Wait, did you just spoil the game? Holy fucking shit and I was going to get this game. Way to ruin everything.

[CDTheBookMan]

@minipaganini I didn't ruin EVERYTHING. There's still so much you can find out on your own.

[sahmlockhart]

you already have the humor but u tried too hard, and review should just be about the gameplay, the graphics, the sound, etc.... dont spoil the game too much and u'll do just fine

[CDTheBookMan]

@sahmlockhart Thanks for your commentary. I appreciate it.

[dragatus]

Actually 3 XP would bring your lockpicking from 0 to 1 just fine. :P

[CDTheBookMan]

@dragatus That is true; yes.  You're absolutely right.

[fagiomcleperacy]

Goon.

[iamsnail]

Yes Boss, He is.

[CDTheBookMan]

@iamsnail We're having a rat paaaaaty for the Misfits: Cast and crew only boss.

[UniqueSatire]

This is suppose to be a freakin review man. thnx for the spoilers anyway

[CDTheBookMan]

@UniqueSatire Oh, you're welcome. I didn't really spoil EVERYTHING for you, I hope.

[rlazera]

YOU HAVE VIOLATED THE MASQUERADE

such a fun game deserve such a fun review. seriously man, well done!

[CDTheBookMan]

@rlazera Thank you sir.  Have you called the bloodhunt on me?

[ninjagirl9490]

Hehehe, awesome. Loved the review

[CDTheBookMan]

@ninjagirl9490 Why thank you.

[533pm]

you know i get 12 xp for my videos. :p

[CDTheBookMan]

NICE!

[fisksallad]

Uh... you spoiled the entire game. It's a review, not a walkthrough, right?

[CDTheBookMan]

I didn't spoil the ENTIRE game. There's a lot of stuff I left out, and I didn't show you all the endings.

[KevinEdwardMiah]

why do u have to spoil it? god! i was going to buy this game!

[CDTheBookMan]

I didn't give you all the endings. There's still hope.

[pundewhee]

Wesp5's unofficial patches (latest is 6.7) fix most glitches, practically all typos and if you so choose, add unused content like quests, items and dialogue. Definitely a must!

There's mods like Clan Quests, which adds completely new fan made quests, all with voice acting. And there's some kind of Camarilla Edition mod that changes the gameplay quite a lot, haven't tried that one though.

Gosh, I think I have to begin my probably like 10th playthrough soon, this game is just so excellent.

[CDTheBookMan]

Thanks for that info. If I ever get my laptop back, I'll be sure to look all of that up. Thank you again.

[pundewhee]

@CDTheBookMan Sure no problems. About the review itself, Arnie's comment about discipline(s) was the highlight, still makes me laugh :)

[CDTheBookMan]

Yeah, that's the first thought that pops in my head when I hear the word "Discipline" now.

[DarkMasta95]

theres also a mod being made called Antitribu...dunno if you heard about that mod but if you want to check it out just wirte on google Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines Antitribu Mod...looks kind of nice

[CDTheBookMan]

That sounds good.  What is that one about?

[HardWarUK]

Can you tell me the sense of reviewing a game positively, if you give so many spoilers, there is no point in playing it!

[CDTheBookMan]

I didn't give THAT much away: Just three of the six endings and the fact that the Malkavian twins were not twins at all, unless you're referring to the one woman's cans.

[Ausdoerrt]

Aactually, there is a non-explosive ending. You can side with Strauss.

[CDTheBookMan]

Yeah, I finally did that one. That's my favorite. I still haven't sided with the Kuei-Jin though.

[Ausdoerrt]

My personal favourite is the no-alliance ending. Blow the prince up and tell the anarchs to go to Hell. Love it.

The Kuei-Jin ending is supposed to be pretty bad, but I haven't triesd it myself.

[CDTheBookMan]

Yeah, but I like the Anarchs and Nines too much to appreciate it. It was cool though, don't get me wrong. From what I've heard about the Kuei-Jin ending, Ming Xiao interrupts the final meeting with LaCroix, kills him, then ties you up to the sarcophagus and sends out it to sea.

[Rorschach1212]

Does this work with vista? And is it hard to find?

[CDTheBookMan]

It does work well on Vista, just as long as your specs are good. You need at least 2 Gigs of RAM in order to keep it from lagging. It's highly affordable and you can order it online from direct2drive: That's where I got it.

[kruegda]

i have a hard copy of the game that my sister gave me cuz she got it from this jerk at school lol. I got it to work on xp but not vista. I didn't bother looking for any patches though.

[CDTheBookMan]

You have to download a patch from the internet in order to play it on Vista. They have one for regular and 64bit Vista. Just look it up on google and you'll see a few websites for it.

[kruegda]

thanks.

I found the game again and it turns out that it's the older version, Redemption.

This dude at school gave it to my sister for secret santa cuz he was trying to piss her off. But I thought it looked cool. I'll have to give it another shot

[CDTheBookMan]

I'd love to see how Redemption plays. I saw screenshots that looked pretty good.

[kruegda]

yeah it actually looks pretty awesome for its time. It kinda plays like a diablo game with the camera in third person behind instead of birds eye. The only problem is that the hit detection is terrible and the combat isn't as satisfying as it should be. Speaking of which, if you like diablo, sacred (original), or titan quest you should check out Torchlight. I can't put it down. wayyyyy too much fun!

[CDTheBookMan]

I never heard of that game before. I should check it out.

[dave00dance]

oh yeah one more thing have u ever played vampire redemption i might consider getting it if the story is good the only thing that puts me off is the old graphics and mechanics maybe?

[CDTheBookMan]

I never played redemption, but I'd love to see its gameplay. I'm sure that it wouldn't be compatible with my computers.

[dave00dance]

cant believe i nearly missed out on this game it was fantastic if your into vampires this is top stuff

[CDTheBookMan]

Oh it's incredible. I'm still playing through it, and I've beaten it with every clan.

[dave00dance]

wow every clan! is there much deviation in the story or added conversation pieces,

going with a diffrent clan?

i was going to go through it again with the nosferatu clan just because i can 

imagine it to be a very diffrent experiance since u cant even walk on the surface,

[CDTheBookMan]

I still did it. Just avoid people looking at you. Each clan does have their own signatures. For instance, when using a Gangrel, Beckett will help raise one of your disciplines a point if you speak to him about it. Bertram Tung gives Nosferatu a special quest, Malkavians can argue with a Stop sign and see visions in their TVs, and the Tremere can live in the chantry Downtown. The best though is hearing Gary go off on you when you are a Toreador.

[4PeacexDarkness]

this game is so good! my fav part is how malkavians talk...with a stop sign puahahhaha...thats a spoiler alert btw

[CDTheBookMan]

Yeah that's awesome. Malkavians are great. Thanks for the comment.

[Kyrogirl]

im getting this game on steam :D VAMPIRES FTW!

[Superplexmusic]

nice vid cant wait for the second one. i cant quite put my finger on it but that guy with the moustache who lost his wallet looked awfully familiar

[CDTheBookMan]

Thanks. Of course he looked familiar. That's Mr. Combstache; you know him. And by the way, he MISPLACED his wallet, not lost.

[guyver77]

ha for watching this video i got 10 exp =)

[CDTheBookMan]

NICE!

[guyver77]

why am i not surprised you chose this game...you lack discipline!

[CDTheBookMan]

That did factor into the decision making.

[fastestcarintheworld]

zZzz

[CDTheBookMan]

Oh get up.

[SteveB258]

I'm DYING for someone to pick up on this franchise. This game is like a movie that you can watch over and over again and not get tired of it. The storyline, sidequests, plot twists... everything is just so well done.

[CDTheBookMan]

This is the best game in the world, no doubt. I want them to expand on it: Expand on the clans, the customizing of your character, the paths you can take, the locations, and you have to expand on that cab driver and his relationship with Jack.
