As posted on the {BOHICA} forums! (http://bohicagaming.com/) </shameless plug>

Aside from a couple of bugs the game is a must-buy for it replayability. Anyone else currently playing it? Shit I'm at hollywood and I don't think I'm half done, currently playing a Nosferatu wich is fun and not fun at the same time since walking on the streets is complicated without people screaming "OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL!!!".

I think I'll make another game once this one is done but on the other hand I'm not sure I want to... one of the first mission (the haunted hotel one) scared me shitless.

Just to give you an example of the game: At one point I had to kill a hunter for a vampire toreador stripper called Velvet. She told me to do it quiet and that she worked at a peep show to find vamps in the locals.

Well I go and I could just have shot thru the civilians watching and then the dancer to get to her but instead I sneaked in the managers office and locked all booths wich prompted the leaves of all the customers. After that I went to the dancers that just got out to their lounge (aside from the hunter that was smoking on the stages. I ask them for "favors" and they freak out because I'm ugly so they leave, leaving me clear of civilians to kill the damn bitch.

I open the stage door, slide in invisble (obfuscate) and go behind her to use my SPAS shotgun. She dies pretty fucking quickly and I leave by the backdoor. I go back to velvet and she's pissed. She heard my shot from across the street and she says it brought even more hunter attention to me and seeing me enter her bar they might make a connection and come slay her. None the less I did the job and she's mildly happy with me so gives me another job.

The game is long I think I've played 20 or so hours up to now and it's great!

Get it.

I saw a video of the character creation process and some of the missions and i have to say i was impressed with what i saw.
Has it gone retail or do you have a beta etc?

It's out, been out since HL2 but since it's from Troika it passed incognito like Arcanum wich was a huge sleeper hit.

Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines is just simply awesome. Stock up on food if you start playing cause i doubt you'll be able to put it down afterwards hehe.

Troika games are just awesome, guys who made the fallout universe and such in it for those who wonder (or even know wth fallout is hehe).
