    if feasting on the blood of the homeless is your type of fun...

    Vampire Bloodlines was a revolutionary game of it's time, it also was a buggy game of it's time. Now some people on the net has spent time fixing it, the Vampire: the Masquerade - bloodlines true (patch) V5.04AT Unoffical patch.
    you may wonder why it is version five point O'four? It's because it took 4 years in the making! Damn!
    This patch has fixed the game and metaphorically renovated the game.

    Why the hell sould I care about and old ass game that has a patch made by some random fan you say?
    firstly, shut up!
    Secondly, this game was groundbreaking for it's time. It had a functioning television, email and radio in the game.
    You can play as a severly disfigured stealthy vamp (nosferatu), a carismatic artsy goth-ish vamp (Toreador), an unhinged loon (malkavian), or a douche who fightes with the power of capitalism And many more. So many more you'd think you can play as your mother. But you can't.

    Speaking of your mother, you can suck the blood of the crazed homeless under the LA overpass. You can also suck the blood of the rich Hollywood clubbers. Hell, you can drink the blood of any human from prostitues to patients.
    If you are like me, feasting on the blood of whores is a dream come true.

    Speaking of nightlife, the places you can go in the game are nice and varied from hospitals and hotels to insane asylums and gangster hideouts.

    The story is entertaining, but goes of the deep end. The characters are intresting, but clichèd.

    I personally enjoyed the style and weapons, but that is personal so I won't comment on them.
    Multiple endings and made by the peoples who made fallout.

    But, good sir, I don't have a time machine, where do I get the game?
    you can look around in swap meets and secondhand stores or on www.steam.com.

      The game begins with you deciding which race you want to play of which there are 6 and each of them has their own unique playstyle. Tremere - Warlock like vampires who specialise in "Blood Magic". Toreador - Traditional seductive vampire, good for a first playthrough. Nosferatu - Best for advanced players due to their sneaking nature which means they have to use the sewers for transport around cities to avoid unwanted attention. Dancing Malkavian Malkavian - Vampires who have become psychotic, h...

      A toothless action RPG facade conceals an immersive and imaginative adventure. 0

      There is a certain burgeoning philosophy that I and several others are starting to embrace regarding how much "game" modern video games truly require in order to succeed as entertainment. In slightly less ambiguous terms, how necessary it is in this enlightened modern era of video games to include the type of scenario where the game might momentarily halt its narrative flow to indulge the player with an extended sequence of non-stop action before coming back around to an interchange with a boss ...
