dnovraD: The fact of the matter is, Blizzard is dead and Activision (vis) Microsoft is wearing their skin.
It's been dead/irrelevant for well over 10 years, if not longer. It's just a husk, shambling along kept alive by its core normie fanbase that would buy a literal piece of poop as long as the name Blizzard was slapped on it. I'll give them Starcraft 2. That was their last decent game. After that, they switched exclusively to online multiplayer money extraction schemes.

Activision is just a useful scapegoat, to those who haven't been paying attention before.

Cavalary: Indeed. But it may sell before disappointing, and that's what they care about.
Wasn't that Blizzard philosophy though?

dnovraD: And we all know how well that's been going for them. The fact of the matter is, Blizzard is dead and Activision (vis) Microsoft is wearing their skin.
It worked well enough while it was the policy and they were actively developing.
And, regardless of whose policy it is, would be even better if you'd just be looking at the quality of the product and not market requirements, the latter leading to rushed releases and cancellations.

Not that I'd think that any positives about this may apply to this particular title, mind you, but speaking in general.

Atreyu666: And while we're waiting, we can play our massive backlog finally :D
So far I dont even know if I will actually get Bloodlines 2 in the end, so I dont rely on the game being good at all.

I'm just saying its a possibility that this is a good, maybe even a great game.

And I dont agree with these strange food analogies at all. There is no such thing as "cooking" of games. Games are programs and any non-trivial program can be improved. And a lot of the possible improvements are simply bugfixes, because any non-trivial program also has bugs.

Haven't looked into it myself yet, but could be a good way to let the folks over at WoD/Paradox know what you think of Bloodlines 2 resp. if that is the direction you'd want future Vampire: The Masquerade titles to take.
Or rather not.

Haha how about stop firing Brian Mitsoda. I saw some footage lately after the "redesign". This game will bomb.

2025? Seems a bit long to add in more bear ghoul sex :\
That survey was dog and had no games from before the turn of the millennium. But at least I got to be honest about what a joke Wizards of the Coast is nowadays.

Well, technically Redemption is from the previous millenium, 2000 counting as such. And were there WoD games from before 2000? I can't think of any...
I just found this game was first announced in 2019! True undead!
I think I'll try the first, to begin with, no matter how bugged they say it is. It's a well beloved game and with much potential. Probably someone has slowly fixed one issue at a time in all this years. That's quite vampire-like as a progress, if you think about it...
