Bioshock. Easily like Vampire.

VTM Bloodlines ROCKS!!

I really haven't found a game like it unfortunately...

 

[Ravenas]

Hmm...I think your best bet would be "The Witcher".

 

[a111087]

Hmm...I think your best bet would be "The Witcher".

I'm thinking about that game too, heard it's pretty good...

Bioshock is great too, I played it until I bagun to have problem with my PC and then I was too lazy to start it again...
May be I will try it with new hardware

Yeah, Bioshock has had a lot of known issues for the PC.

I have played it so many times i dont think its possible to squeeze much more out of it..

have you downloaded the community expansion packs??

 

[a111087]

expansion pack?
it was labeled as patch, but they did say there are a few items and NPC added
but I didn't think of it as expansion pack and never actually played with it

so, may be i even will have to get back to Vampires and see what new they got, although I completed every quest in the game, but played with only two characters.

Hmm, thats odd, I never had a single problem with bioshock.

Nor did I.

I second "The Witcher", best RPG, I've played all year.

It's kinda funny I was about to start Bloodlines since I was looking for games like "The Witcher"

 

[a111087]

well, then I'll try it for sure

 

[a111087]

Just want to update that I'm also going to play Arx Fatalis, a bit older game, but graphics are still decent.
I hope it will be interesting, I will post my thoughts in a few days

just restarted the masquerade bloodlines for the hell of it, i always loved playing. the community patch is 200+ mb in size and highely reccomended, makes the game so much better, addds histories to your character selection screen for additional customisation, aswell as unlocking a hellovalot of new dialog etc..

oooh, Arx, i got that with my first x800 when they came out

really liked the spell casting by mouse tracing. dont think i ever completed it coz my pelt died, melted my acrylic case, my x800xtpe and my mobo, tho interestingly my prescHot cpu survived that inferno

Have you played duex ex invisible war? another oldie but the grraphics were awesome at the time (there is even a v high rez texture patch/mod for it ), or even the first dues ex

I reckon VTMB is one of the most poorly coded games I've ever owned.
Used the community patch and it didn't really fix anything.

Your character goes to answer any phone then you see the phone magically come out of his hand an back on to the hook but your'e still talking to who ever is on the otherside.

The cut scene where you talk to some Asian dude looking for his daughter has a bug where someone calls him up so he pulls out his cell phone starts talking, then it disappears into thin air so he pulls out another cell phone and he does this about five times during the converstation.

There's a cut scene where your'e running to Nines Rodriguez just before he gets taken out by a werewolf.
Anyone notice your player character is running sideways towards Nines?

It's also easier to kill people with melee weapons than a gun.

It sure looked good but the bugs in it just made me laugh at how it was trying to be serious.

i got the first deus ex, but the training was so annoying, i quit right there, may be I will start over...
I have yet to try invisible war

Wow, you can't be serious? Go re-install the first Deus Ex RIGHT NOW

You really don't know what your missing, that game is straight up old school and really just innovated the genre IMO

 

[JC316]

Both Deus ex and Invisible war are great games, both much like Vamprie. I prefer Invisible war, but they are both great.

 

[a111087]

alright, alright, I will play it this Friday

 

[mandelore]

alright, alright, I will play it this Friday

great stuff, now we dont have to kill this poor kitten as punishment for your crimes

 

[a111087]

just want to add another game to the list: Call Of Cthulhu
kinda scary, you explore many places, not as much features like in Vampires, but I think its pretty close
decent graphics as well
I didn't play it much yet, so... will use all my free time to do it

BTW, 1st deus ex is still annoying to me, but I will continue trying

Know what you mean!!

You know there was a prequel to Vampire called

VTM :redemption ?

 

[Widjaja]

Yeah there really needs to be another Vampire game like VTMB but with way better dves behind it who aren't going to abandon it when they can't fix the riddiculous bugs in it.
And of course it will need even more depth.

That Asian Slug woman was a bitch to kill.

Er...Troika went bankrupt because of Activisions FORCING them to release the game before it was ready.

Some of the Troika devs were once part of Black Isle, which I'm sure most of you remember.

 

[Widjaja]

And all this time I thought it was the devs at Troika fighting amongst themselves.
Or maybe this was how it was meant to be portrayed at the site I went to read up about them.

Activision trying to not look like the bad guy.

The atmosphere they wanted to create was tarnished by the hillarious bugs.

I clearly remember a police officer standing at the bottom of the indoor swimming pool in side the mafia type vampires mansion and the dog that were supposed to bite me were just running up to me and watching while I beat the crap out of thier owners.
