There will be blood. Delicious blood.



<span class="bold">Vampire&reg;: The Masquerade - Bloodlines&trade;</span>, the timeless RPG masterpiece that has sucked many a gamer's time, is now available, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Intoxicating. Macabre. Vital. These are both traits of blood and of Vampire®: The Masquerade - Bloodlines™, the RPG that forever changed expectations on how the creatures of the night should be depicted in videogames. Was it the ridiculous replayability? The versatility of our vampiric abilities? The gripping visual and sound design? Perhaps the memorable NPCs and stellar writing. One thing is for certain: much like the daunting Antediluvians, this is a game whose allure only grows stronger with time. No point in resisting it any longer.



Sink your teeth into the definitive bloodsucking experience that is <span class="bold">Vampire&reg;: The Masquerade - Bloodlines&trade;</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.

Note: This version includes third-party technical fixes, courtesy of Wesp5. The full unofficial patch, which also includes additional content, can be found over at <span class="bold">Patches Scrolls</span>.


Twitch alert
Want to watch some entrancing nightly exsanguinations? Join Memoriesin8Bit as he launches a series of Bloodlines streams on <span class="bold">twitch.tv/gogcom</span>, starting Monday, 6 PM UTC.

shmerl: UPDATE2:

Nope, older Wine doesn't help. I guess it's Nvidia driver issue. Oh, well.

deonast: I sometimes find that too much use of wine can impact visual fidelity, and often gives slurred speech.

shmerl: Nah, too much Wine can create special visual effects ;)
There are two detailed AA methods here:

I don't remember trying either one myself, so looks like I will have to do the same yet...

Edit:

Should of made is clearer that it looked like most of the visual effects could be enabled with SweetFX, which is why I brought up the AA methods. More info can be found here on that:

You should be able to get anisotropic filtering working with the above help.

A right shame I bought it on Steam already. Good show on you guys for making it all bright and shiny like that.

JudasIscariot: I played the game stock and I had fists in my inventory. Check the stock version of the game first :)
That bug is random, i.e. it shows up only sometimes. In most new games fists aren't missing :) In general the stock version is so buggy, it shouldn't be even tested ;) The minimal base level should be community patch. Patch+ is already optional.

All the above seems to be for Windows only. I'm playing the game in Wine on Linux. In the past, forcing anisotropic filtering through Nvidia settings used to work. But not anymore.

Where did you hear this? Through the grapevine?

It'd be awesome to have Diablo I here. Removing this title from the Battlechest must be one of Blizzard stupidest decisions.
Warcraft I would be fucking great too, I had no luck making this work properly in emulators...
But being realistic, I'd be VERY surprised if Blizzard releases anything HERE. And especially not soon, because that word has no meaning to them!

JudasIscariot: Did you mention something about Wine not showing the progress bar in our Windows installers? Because the installation progress bar works fine on my Wine 1.9.8, see the attached picture :)
I just run the installer for Bloodlines using Wine 1.9.8 from PlayOnLinux. Progress bar isn't showing up during installation. In fact it's stuck on the first screen with path selection, but in the end, installation succeeds.

Instabought again. People who are complaining about the price? why? It's worth $20 easily. One of the best games ever made.

I'm hoping you're referring to more than just the "It's True or False" list. ;-) Don't get me wrong, I definitely hope it's true, but only one reference to "Warcraft" isn't much.

Except authors will get nada from your purchase ;) And whether Activision really deserves these $20 for not releasing it here for so long is quite a moot subject.

^^^ They did spend the money to make it done in the first place.

MacArthur: ^^^ They did spend the money to make it done in the first place.
Which they recovered multiple times already. By now it's pure profit for them, with literally zero input. I'm not saying you shouldn't buy the game. I'm just not convinced that such high price is justified. On the other hand, it can be a way for GOG to attract such legacy publishers here. They see $$$ and are more eager to do something. So it's kind of a price that we might need to pay to get it DRM free from the likes of Activision.
