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>.

You did it GoG-team!

AND you (somewhat) included the community patches (at least in parts - but fairly enough linked to the full community patch).
I am somewhat flored.
Well done. Wow :)

The price is a bit steep for an old unfinished game. But I can wait for a discount period - I guess.
Let's see for how long... :D

Other than that:
congratulations on a job well done!

EndlessKnight: Does anyone else find it mildly amusing to see a game using the Source engine (From Valve, the owners of Steam), for sale on GOG? I think the irony is wonderful!
Not the first one here.

nightcraw1er.488: I haven't played it in a while, but never had any problems, install game, install patch, maybe install one of the big mods, click game play.

JMich: See the thread. Quite a few people cannot get the game to install on anything later than XP.
I installed and patched my retail copy on two Windows 10 machines in January for a play-through and had no issues at all. I've never had any problems with my retail copy from XP up to 10, especially once the unofficial patch was released.

I've always removed the copy protection, maybe that's an issue.

Finally! It's here.
I have so many questions to ask Jack.....

JudasIscariot: Unofficial Patch 9.5 only works with the English version for now anyways. That being said, we'll make sure to get the missing languages out to all but we had to make sure that the game worked as expected before releasing it :)
Does Wesp get compensated by GOG in some way?

You'd be better off asking him, to be honest. Those kind of details are way beyond me.

Thank you, I went by what was reported previously in the thread.

No the real kicker is Source was optimised for ATi cards.
VTM:B was optimised for Nvidia.

I don't know if this was to blame for it being buggy on both

I can confirm, I had problems getting it working from disc on win7 a few years back. It took a few hours of web searching and testing to get it to install.

Interestingly, new installer doesn't show any progress bar in Wine. Looks like a new regression. At lest it's working in general.

Wait, includes how? Is it already patched or does it ship with a patch installer? Having researched and compared the two available patches - wesp5's and the True Patch - all I can say is the former can go die in a fire for all I care, along with any other such patch that modifies a game to be "some asshole off the Internet" version instead of as vanilla as practical.

Do the "technical fixes" include wesp5's "corrections" of the game itself? Will this interfere with installing the True Patch? Basically, did you guys take apart the patch, apply the technical fixes, and cast off the rest as the trash it is, or did you just install the "basic" version of the patch? Because that one still applies the not-so-technical not-fixes.

I've never played either Vampire game, but this is exciting! I've read countless great things about them. I'm really happy to see them both here. :D

We offer a patched as well as an unpatched version of the game.

Can full Wesp patch be applied to GOG installation? I.e. one that adds additional level, more weapons and etc.?
