play it, although you probably should not buy it from Steam because both Activision and Valve tag-teamed Troika Studios in its trusting virgin mouth and rear end and destroyed the company, so giving them both money seems kind of like you're enabling their past bullshit. Also you should totally get an unofficial patch for it because the game is nigh unplayable because it was rushed out the rear end thanks to Valve/Activision. But anyway it's a very fun experience and it feels like Deus Ex but with cool vampires voiced by that one dude who voiced Bender in Futurama, the dad from Dexter's Lab, and that one girl from Avatar the Last Airbender and I wanna talk about it with other imps.

Sewer level is super easy depending on what type of vampire you pick.

I don't think the problem is that it's difficult or easy, it's just really long and boring and unexciting.

It's like the first three hubs are super good and awesome, and then after Hollywood everything goes down the tubes and it gradually becomes more and more of a hack-and-slash.

This game is good, but I got to a segment where I had to fight a powerful vampire in the sewer and my combat skills were next-to-nonexistent and there was no alternate route, and all my saves were inside the sewer which I couldn't exit. So I stopped playing. The haunted house was pretty cool.

I was playing this recently, and yeah that sewer is super bad. Love the rest of the game though. The way you level up your character with a pool of points you increase every now and then feels really great.

It's a bad game with good walking around and talking to people bits, like most RPGs I guess, however the non walking around and talking to people bits in this games are really unbearable. I doubt I'll ever finish it at this point.

Its got good story,characters, writing, voice acting, character design, the rpg mechanics are lifted from the pen and paper game, and despite being rushed out the door and buggy as hell,its still really good, and fun.

Those octopus things freaked me the gently caress out as a kid and with a limited flashlight... gently caress that level.

I am disappointed that no more World of Darkness RPGs have been made since VTMB, although to be honest I doubt that there are many studios that would make a good game of it.

I played a Brujah and jacked Celerity all the way up. This let me enter hyper-speed mode, where I could stroll pleasantly around a hail of bullets, kill everyone who was shooting at me with a hedge trimmer, then grab the last guy and completely drain him of blood before the bodies hit the floor. I quite literally ran rings around the final boss. anyways this is a Good Game and you should play it.

The best thing about it imo is that you don't get xp for killing grunts so playing a stealth/conversation based character is viable. Also making people strangle themselves to death.
