Whats the Holla Forumserdict now? Anyone still buying? Personally , WoD vamp LARP is my favorite LARP bar none so I can't resist. That's not even touching on the prospect of genociding the Tr*m*r* scourge. Pre-order never canceled.

>>523621692Not even hyped anymore after all the shit that happened. I already lost hope when they ruined my daddy, but all the following stabs, the pozzed shit, the men fired and the delay just makes it not worthwhile, i'll just pirate it when it comes out, or not and wait for the DLCs and stuff to come out so i pirate it, play it once and never touch it again.

>>523621692Who cares let's talk about drama.Did we find out why whatshisface got removed from the team?
Isaac Edwards
>>523623172No reason given. I'm assuming he added shit that wasn't sanitized and politically correct enough and refused to remove it so Ellison and the other landwhales and their simps colluded to get him removed however they could to commandeer the game.
Ryder Young
>>523621692I really want it to be good but my faith in it is pretty much shattered at this point. The gameplay shown looked kinda shitty then they fired Mitsoda in favour of some Ubisoft hack that worked on shit games like Farcry and Assassin's Creed

Ian Robinson
Do we have ANY reason to believe that all the libshit garbage isn't being funneled into the Anarch and "Newcomers" factions? Surely the Camerilla and Pioneers are still based with the Baron being a non-political, all business option.
Austin Davis
>>523624315They can't. The curse will just revert it back to its original state. The best that they can do is max Obfuscate and learn its ability called "Mask of thousand faces (the thing that you saw your sire in vtmb1 using if you played Nosferatu)".It is basically an illusion ability that makes others see Nosferatu using as a normal/attractive human being. The more powerful the nosferatu is, the more people he/she will be able to fool others (including other vampires) with that ability. It's a good ability for when they wish to either troll unsuspecting humans (like how vtmb1 Nossie sire did with you), or to troll Toreador sluts.>>523624501They still can't unfuck Nossies though. It's stated in lore that if Tzimisce were to try and give Nossies a makeover, it would just reset to its original state since the curse is much stronger than Tzimisce's abilities.
Lucas Taylor
>>523624741>Surely the Camerilla and Pioneers are still based with the Baron being a non-political, all business option.They still need a villan, cammy elders will fit in this position like a glove.
Ayden Reed
Thanks for cluing me into the horse shit.And here I was, still excited for a game I knew was too good to be true.
Brody James
>>523624501They can't though. It will just reset if they do it.Even if tzimisce's antediluvian did it, it would not stay. At best he and other low gen tzimisce might manage to make few changes that they did stay on nosferatu's of higher generations who are one step away from being thin-bloods. Even then, the changes would not stay as they would gradually revert back to its original state. You just can't unfuck nosferatus. They either learn how to use motf ability, or they are doomed to be forever in sewers.
Dylan Perez
I'm going to wait for reviews. Is there even a confirmed release date? I thought it was supposed to release in January.
Cameron Brooks
>>523624741Baron literally has one of the antagonists working for them. I don't know how will that play out when you join them, but Cara "VIRTUAL RAPE IS A RAPE" Ellison made it sure to be known that guy on the cover is not your friend, and that he is meant to be the most deprived person in the game.
Gabriel Thompson
>>523625180>And here I was, still excited for a game I knew was too good to be true.Even if you disregard all this pozzed political crap there's still very little chance that this game would be good, you are literally banking on the fact that a studio that has literally done nothing noticeable in it's career before to recreate a cult classic RPG.

Mason Diaz
>>523624501Not even they can do anything about it. It always reverts back to its original state no matter what. Lower gen the nosferatu is, the stronger the curse is. Meaning, that tzimisce can't even start their "makeover" in the first place since it will revert back in matter of seconds.On another hand, should they do it on nosferatus of higher generations whose blood is thin and curse not as strong; it will only manage to stay like that for short time (minutes, hours, perhaps even days depending on tzimisce's own generation compared to nosferatu's), but it will still revert back to its original state in the end. So tzimisce can't do a damn thing about changing nosferatus.To be fair, that's probably for the better since the type of "makeover" that majority of tzimisce are interested in is fucking you up even more. Which is why it is probably for the best that tzimisce can't do shit to nosferatu, since they would most likely end up looking even more fucked than they already are.
Julian Ortiz
>>523625826Isn't he working for blacks? The Baron is literally black owned faction, with only him being white. So, are they trying to say that "the most evil character" is evil because he is working with blacks? Damn! Didn't realize that Cara was secretly redpilled like that.
Eli Nelson
>>523623172Boring but ultimately likely answer is that he's probably difficult to work with and he just got blamed for the shit state of the game and all the delays
Carson Hill
>>523625826You might be joking, but I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being the case. Instead of the game villainzing for real reasons (like him being psychopath that enjoys the act of murder), they end up villainzing him because he missgendered you that one time. Or said that virtual rape isn't rape. Or that he liked old voice (Mitsoda) for news better. Or some other dumb shit that Cara considers as her worst nightmare.

William Wilson
>>523621692hahaha no, there is no way im buying it.This game will be garbage, which will still sell I imagine due to 1 and people not knowing better, like TloU2, but its sales will also drop like a fuking rock when normies get the memo, like TloU2.Might still catch it at the seas for old times sake, 1 is a marvel, but there is no way im supporting the company who is producing this atrocity,

Justin Jenkins
>>523628212i dont know ... the original still is pretty nieche and VtmB2's ties to the original were their major selling point. I dont think the lackluster marketing is appealing to alot of zoomers and the last months definitely have been turning off a lot of fans of the original. game consists of nothing but red flags at this point with everything pointing to a massive failure both creatively and commercially
Dominic Adams
>>523628374>white wolf writing is insanely cringyI understand that it's not for everyone but I do enjoy chunni powerlevel shit and WoD fits my cup of tea, also I think the pre-revised mage books are pretty well written.
Gabriel Ortiz
>>523627889In that case, it is correct. Although, still not completely. If they do plastic surgery on a vampire that is much lower gen then them, then their work can still be undone.Overall, tzimisce are not that good with vicissitude, despite that being their clan ability. Only very few tzimisce care to learn how to use vicissitude properly. Toreador antitribu (Zantosa) are unironically far better at using it since they are usually artistic by nature, which makes majority of them invest in vicissitude as their main ability.
Jackson Gomez
Now that both Mitsoda and Avellone are out, I cancelled my preorder and bought Wasteland 3 instead. No idea what the fuck is going on with development, but the game is not gonna be even funny bad.
Caleb Walker
I'm 100% going to finish this game no matter how bad it gets. If I actually enjoyed it after finishing it I might drop some bucks on it.I think it's mainly just Holla Forums contrarianism and wanting to find faults and flaws in everything.

>>523621692There's a WoD mod for crusader kings 3 btw. I saw a vid of it and its pretty neat.
Colton Collins
>>523624501Unrelated to whole plastic surgery talk... I'm kinda surprised that Tzimisce don't have some kind of fucked up embrace ritual like how Baali do. You'd think that No.1 WOD edgelords would have something fucked up for their embrace, but nope. It's mostly as normal as embrace can be. Even non-Sabbat clans (like Gangrel) tend to have more sadistic tendencies when embracing someone.
Jace Russell
>>523630630Less than 10 pornos. I dare saying that it will be less than 5, let alone 10.
Blake Long
>>523631073I think the Baali are just paying homage to their birth and a shocking/violent embrace can weed out the weak and undesirables before they become embarrassments of the clan or expose the existence of the clan into the open when they are planning something big. Tzimisce usually embraces people who are already kind-of fucked up or share the same hobbies as the sire so there's no point going all out with the edginess
Brayden Hughes
>>523624262I feel like if sexual harassment were the case we would have heard stories come out by now. Hardsuit's press release about his firing was pretty blase about it, simply wishing him the best on future endeavors. If there were any kind of crime related I'd doubt he'd be given that boilerplate send off. I don't think his departure was good natured because even the community manager for WoD just retweeted the article and didn't have anything to say about him leaving. Weird fucking situation.
Henry Ross
>>523631586Gangrel only want "strong" in their clan as well and will only ever get interested in embracing someone they think of as "strong", yet this doesn't stop them from:>1. Stalking their childe-to-be>2. Attacking them>3. Mutilating them in extremely brutal manner>4. When they are at the door of death (either from huge blood loss or shock), they finally drop their blood as a sadistic game to see will death or unlife win in that last second>5. If their childe survives this traumatic ordeal, the said sire will fuck off without even explaining them anything. Which causes many of freshly sired Gangrels to die in less than a weak (either by the sun because they don't know who they are; starvation because they don't know about feeding; hunters; Camrilla's agents because they probably broke masquerade without even knowing that they did)I dare saying that even Baali embrace isn't as bad as Gangrel's. At least Baali's sire will stick around to explain his childe what the fuck they are, unlike Gangrel one that is constantly playing test games with their childe.
Jose Hughes
>>523630812Thats gonna be my 5th playthrough this year
Lincoln Thompson
>>523632180>less than a week*
Jack Ross
>>523631586Gangrel torture in their embrace just for the sake of it, and Gangrels aren't meant to be seen as fucked up clan. Tzimisce on another hand love torture in general. So them not pulling Gangrels or Baalis during embrace is pretty surprising.
Thomas Wood
>>523621692I admit I was hyped until a little while ago when they even fired Mitsoda and then I just threw up my hands and went "well then", cancelled pre-order and I'm holding onto the refunded GoG buxx to buy the next Pathfinder when it comes out
Camden Thomas
>>523627650You take her for a fool, but cultural-Marxists are rarely fools, they are crafty little shitstains that hide their plots, gaslighting, deception, and treachery behind a veil of apparent stupidity.What will REALLY happen: the antagonist will be a proper antagonist with all the actually negative traits you can imagine, and it will be SHOWN, while the things you mentioned as "Cara's worst nightmare" will be endlessly SPOKEN OF. This is the oldest trick in the book, linking negative traits according to the writer to objectively disgusting traits, to create a subconscious association in the head of the consumer.
Kayden Johnson
Lucas Diaz
is the Tzimisce antediluvian really spreading a parasite throughtout the entire planet and is in cahoots with cthulhu?
Camden Sanchez
>>523624026>>523624321Clearly they didn't even play the first game either.Nos aren't 'ugly'. They aren't even just ugly. They are hideous goddamn monsters who break the masquerade with their very presence. No amount of virtue signalling will remove the instant revulsion and fear they cause, not jsut visually but often against every sense.The faggots writing for the game think they are just giant progeria kiddies to be fawned over for facebook good boy points.
Camden Morales
>>523635136The thing about him though is that I find it odd that they decided to describe him in particular as pure evil? I'm not claiming that he is a nice vampire guy since his bio literally states that he loves deranged shit that he does. However...He is not random Sabbat lunatic either, since his bio also states that he only will ever hurt people, let his deranged side free, if they are on his list. So, how is he meant to be the worst thing in this game? Is he crazy? Sure as hell is. Is he deranged and creepy? Absolutely. But is he the worst thing? Unless you are on that "list" of his, nope. Seems that you will be absolutely safe. In short, he is just a hired gun. So, what's so bad about that? Why isn't the Baron (who is totally not black), or people who hire him in general considered as worse since they are the ones giving him the said list? The gun won't shoot itself unless somebody pulls the trigger. Do you blame the gun, or the one that pulled it? So, why is Cara trying to make this guy in particular as the worst thing ever in the game when he seems to be pretty controlled for a psychopath?Unless there is some shit that we don't know, that his bio didn't state, I find statement about him being "pure evil" and "the worst" as absolutely laughable since he sounds as standard for the world of darkness. I dare saying he is less fucked up than majority of Camarilla's elders since he at least cares to restrain himself and only hurt very specific people instead of hurt others randomly.
Ian Cox
>>523625826No. He is the worst of the worst because he is the only white guy in baron's faction.
Chase Bennett

Elijah Gomez
>>523624817>>523624659So are Nosferatu the worst clan then? It sounds horrible.
Thomas Walker
>>523638427See >>523628442. Samedi curse is way worse. Imagine eternity in which you wake up, only to rot again and again every time the night falls. The pain just never ends for Samedi, and they can't even disguise themselves like Nosferatu can by using mask of thousand faces, because another curse that Samedi have (apart from rotting) is that they have very strong smell that gives them instantly away. Which causes them to constantly be on the move since they would be extremely easy to track if they dared to stay in one place.
Jose Baker
>>523638240They are also fucking amazing in tabletop. The sheer breadth of uses of fleshcraft is silly, especially if you take the splats containing promethean clay (self fleshcrafting is reflexive) and body arsenal (can grow gangrel claw-tier weapons from any bone in your body). While Tremere outpace them in utility, Brujah in damage and Ventrue in mind games, they meet halfway perfectly.
Samuel Brown
>>523638427Samedi are the ones that win the most JUST prize.For Nosferatu, their pain ends if they survive the embrace. They can also learn the ability that allows them to trick others into seeing them as normal.Samedis on another hand are just JUST'D in every single way. They lose their skin, limbs and organs every single night without a stop. Then they smell really bad to the point that you can smell their scent from miles away, and that smell will linger on places that they will visit, which makes them an easy target for hunters to hunt down. Even if hunter doesn't find them, there is always a chance that some Camarilla agent will gun them down in order to preserve masquerade since everything about Samedis breaks it.
Ethan Davis
>>523638929>>523638614How do Samedi ever work in this world? I read the wiki and it seemed like the most dumb of explanations “yeah they ruin the masquerade but they’re like assassins and stuff”
Cameron Foster
>>523639121They live like gypsies in constantly being on the move. Never staying in one place. They are treated as unicorns in vampire society due to how rare is to even come across ones since they are always hiding from everyone for obvious reasons.Not sure what's lore on them in V5 since I never cared to pay for that trash, but in old lore they were treated as myths even among vampires due to how impossible they were to find.

Jacob Green
>>523639121They don't since you can't even find them. Baron is the most notorious samedi and the only one that does actual work from time to time with other kindred, but even he hides a lot and doesn't linger for too long in one place.
Landon Parker
>>523639514That still doesn't hide the smell, which is the biggest issue for Samedi. Even bigger one than rotting.
Alexander Edwards
>>523639514Only useful if they want to move quickly and not linger for very longer since their stinky asses will give them away instantly to anyone that has working nose.
Ethan Myers
>>523639514Not enough to fool trained hunters who are aware of what their smell is like. So that skill is not that useful to make them waltz on the street without the care in the world like how Nosferatu can hide with Mask of Thousand Faces. Samedi don't have that luxury since they have to be quick if they don't want the entire place to smell like them, which will obviously bring the unwanted attention to them.
Jeremiah Rodriguez
>>523639514Doesn't work on kindred and hunters that know what they are looking for since the bad smell that is iconic for samedi gives them away.

>>523639514>they can't even disguise themselves like Nosferatu can by using mask of thousand faces, because another curse that Samedi have (apart from rotting) is that they have very strong smell that gives them instantly awayOnly ones that would be fooled in this case would be mere humans that aren't aware of vampires. Any hunter on another hand would be able to pick up on it since their smell is their worst bane. No amount of baths, perfumes or deodorant would be able to ever get rid of that shit.

>>523639345In V5, they, the Giovanni, the Nagaraja, and the remnants of that clan the Giovannis Shoah'd came together in a "family reunion" and created one clan, and not much later, their respective clan curses also vanished and got replaced by a brand new one. TL;DR: they've been soft-retconned out of existence along with 3 other clans.

Benjamin Williams
>>523642919I knew that V5 was bad from what I heard about it. How they fucked up Nosferatu lore, and even fucked Malkavians as well. Still, that is even worse than what I heard about these two other cases.

Verdict is avoid like the plague then buy complete collection two years later for $10-30.I was still hoping it would be a good atmospheric experience and it still could be, but firing Mitsoda makes it a matter of principle now.Boycott.

>>523651541To be completely fair, dense morons are the ones that turned the Malk curse in "lolthey'reCRAZY". They were always supposed to be afflicted with something that was allegorical or similar to a human derangement, but the root cause wasn't the same.
Justin Powell
>>523639449At least Tremere have something more to them and their lore then being their antediluvian's bitches because vicissitude is the thing that keeps them on the leash, yet these retards keep using it. Old clan on another hand (that has brain enough not to use it), has nothing unique to the table to offer and they come across as poor man's Ventrue or giovanni, except less interesting.On another hand, Tremere are bunch of losers. That is true. However, they still offer a unique part of the lore as those that have became vampires on their own. Then how they also managed to rise in vampires' society that despised them and still does. How they keep surviving no matter what, and how they often hold high positions no matter in what organizations they find themselves in, despite being hated by every single organization. You can meme Tremere and make fun of them all you want, but the fact remains that they are INTERESTING faggots.So I'll take loser ex-wizards now turned vampires who are mega kikes over boring clan of edgelords whose entire lore comes down to them being edgy for no fucking reason and being cucked by their own antediluvian. Fact that Dracula is the only not-shit Tzimisce that is worth anything, says a lot about that clan.
Wyatt Turner
>>523652213What I find odd is these people disparage the first game's Malkavian when even random things they were saying to themselves were foreshadowing their inability to process and control their own prophetic visions.
Adrian Taylor
>>523651735It's ironic since this is the same chick that defended TW3 when SJWs were attacking it. Now she sounds just like them ever since she got hired. Her entire twitter went from her being just a fangirl of certain games that talks about them, to tweets about how women have it hard, muh minorities, men being assholes, and oh, Brian not being that important.
Josiah Gutierrez
>>523652541The interaction you have with the TV news announcer actually had some meaning but people thought it was just random humor. I think it's okay if you can do it like that. But the game still had two (three?) other Malks that weren't meant to be funny with Grout and the sisters, but that gets ignored for some reason.
Sebastian Edwards
>>523652541It's nufag / old writer phenomenon. VTM was massively popular after it released, and they got a lot of random writers with very little quality control, and the writers dumped tons of unneeded shit into the game, and misinterpreted shit. The old writers tended to just lean into it because it was popular.Now we've come full circle and the old writers are questioning their own writing as offensive when it was originally created specifically as unrelated, because it was misunderstood for so long that the misunderstanding became the norm.Pre-v5 Dementation is the perfect example of this.
Isaiah Reyes

Thomas Moore
>>523623430The fact that this exists is proof that White Wolf and their IPs are fucking over. There's literally no redeeming it.Best case scenario is that some alt-right goth lifts all the best elements of oWoD and creates their own version that isn't pozzed and cringe.And before some retard says>b-but they were always lefty and political!understand that WoD (like the scene it came from) wasn't just leftist, it was specifically anti-establishment.If the establishment is now consistently pro-feminism pro-trans pro-muslim faggotry because it's found a way to commodify and commercialize those things in a way which generates the political and economic wealth to further the enslavement of (You), then you can't claim to be anti-establishment and simultaneously radically leftist. This kills the crab.Also, speaking of being riddled with contradictions: how does this shit writer justify the characterization of not only a gay muslim - which may be stupid but actually exists - but a gay muslim VAMPIRE in a setting where GOD IS REAL? It boggles the fucking mind. It's beyond the point of saying 'this is a square circle' and into the territory of 'this is a square circle in a triangle-only universe'.

Now that the Technocratic Union has been split away from Mage and become its own setting, what are the odds of a game in the next decade? Considering they deal with every other faction and creature-type in the franchise, they(and perhaps Hunters) would be the best way to introduce newcomers to the World of Darkness in general.

Michael Carter
>>523654383I legitimately tried to listen to this interview off and on over the last few days, but I just can't push past the 2 hour mark. Even getting there was a screeching chore. Politics aside, the interview format is presented in the most meandering way possible, there is no real direction from the interviewer whatsover, so Cara gets to go off on her headcanon and Brian gets very little chance to to in depth on certain questions, unless they are directed towards him. And even if he answers, Cara goes full hipster and spins a tale so irrelevant that nothing of value is gained. You have 3 hours ask these people questions, fuck man use that time efficiently.

>>523657938The whole thread is a major sperging though. We can't have normal VTM threads anymore in vidya. First there was the Rudiposter, now there are these kinds of threads. VTMB2 is going to likely be some shade of dumpster fire, but that doesn't mean that we should keep sperging out about it until 2021 like bitches. It's mentally unhealthy. Then again this is Holla Forums.But sure, go on. Get it out of your system. Over and over.
Anthony Ward
>>523657718VtMB2 was delayed multiple times and people gave them the benefit of the doubt and said they're glad it's being delayed to polish it up. Once they fired Mitsoda then people stopped giving them the benefit of the doubt.I also feel like they were either way too optimistic about the original release date or just lied about how close it was to being done so they could start taking preorders. They were still doing basic parts of the game when it was originally supposed to be released. Wonder if that's going to become an intended practice.
Nathaniel Russell
>>523658490/v/ has always had a huge soft spot for VtMB so it's not surprising that people are sperging a bit. I don't think it's completely unwarranted. We have started to get regular VtMB threads again when 2 isn't the topic in the OP though. Kind of hope it'll be that way through Halloween because they were always my favorite part of being here around that time.

My only interest is in seeing how badly they butcher Vampire: The Masquerade this time, as they already did that with We Eat Blood. Just like they butchered Mage: The Ascension with that one game with some Swedish girl who was molested by migrants as a protagonist.

>>523643226Any edition of a /tg/ game that isn't Shadowrun or Warhammer 40k goes to shit past 3rd Edition. Mostly because these seem to be the exceptions to the rule. At the rate things are going I'd rather play FATAL or Racial Holy War over 5th Edition Vampire: The Masquerade or Dungeons and Dragons.
Justin Mitchell
>>523660813Since the original deluxe editions said "dev commentary with Brian Mitsoda" and they changed it to just saying "dev commentary" after he got fired, you could add "it doesn't need to give people what they originally paid for".
Angel Hill
>>523643226I played the game and it good for a narrative based system and you can use your powers more freely.V20 is more crunchy with all its rules, exceptions, broken builds and really bad combat system.
Mason Lee
>>523625517Pretty much, people are blinded by their sense of nostalgia and thus unable to think straight. Then again humans are largely emotional and tend to be governed by said unimportant biochemical reactions. So it's unsurprising.
Luke Powell
>>523643226I'm a casual when it comes to Vamp lore, and I'm sure V5 has some shitty things in it, but from what I know about the Nosferatu, the mortals in the NSA managed to crack SchreckNet and got their taste of the supernatural. I don't see how something like that is unreasonable. Sooner or later, that seems like that's an inevitability. Or is there something else people dislike about it? >>523661665>Shadowrun not complete and utter trashif I need to be able to read german to fix broken game systems, that's not a solution
Logan Richardson
>>523662350You're allowed to be wrong.
Jayden Cruz
>>523662090I guess it's a good thing the game was delayed to give more people a chance to see how bad it might be before they finished handing their money over. Kind of hope it's a wake up call to more people that remakes/sequels of classic games can be awful. Can't blame people for wanting to be optimistic though, would've been nice if we did end up with a worthy sequel.
Aaron Green
>>523662350There is a bit more to it than what you have said but the Nosferatu are very important to the Camarilla as they have always been.Just now they are more hands on and cannot rely on tech anymore because of the Second Inquisition, basically every intelligence agency on the planet is aware that supernatural shit exists and are rooting them out.Sabbat got fucking annihilated by them and the survivors went to the middle east because gehenna.
