Bloodlines was hardly pozzed by modern standards. It implied that Hollywood was a bunch of literal vampires. There's tits in your face all the time. The communist broad was played for a childish stereotype, and the black dude in the same faction wasn't having it. There's a female character that submits to you completely. A funny and subtle bit I noticed was how the netcafe didn't have a female restroom. Actually what WAS propaganda about it? Maybe it had a line or two about how cuckservatives and Bush suck ass? (they did)

That said, the new game is going to be completely disgusting, of that I have no doubt.

You might think she was a demeaning mocking caricature, but the fact that literally every character in the game is an sbolutely retarded, cringy archetype and the fact that they actually tried to pass Nines off as cool and badass is proof that they in fact played her straight and the people who wrote the characters have zero self-awareness.

Not him, but the difference is like this: in Deus Ex, basically every single non-soldier/grunt character is unique and has a few lines of their own. Graphics are recycled and sometimes the differences are minor, but they're still there. For the major NPCs, there are full conversations that give one or two choices in interaction per encounter.

In VtMB, 95% of NPCs are basically walking zombies with generic passive "Hey watch where you're going" encounters. However, the 5% you can talk to have full Baldur's Gate/Fallout-style complexity, with many conversation choices per encounter, and a bit of a reputation system and all of that.

imo Deus Ex has superior interaction because the whole world feels dynamic and as if the NPCs exist to gain or lose from you. In VtMB it has more traditional RPG depth at its deepest, but there's a lot of filler character, and the deeper NPCs are just objects you use to extract things (items, missions, etc), and exist for you to use at your leisure.

Paris was a huge letdown compared to New York and Hong Kong. It didn't truly implode until you get to area 51 though.

I play both westeros and nihon games folded 1 million times and enjoyed them. Even Moraff's World. This is just a shitpost b8 thread. A true HARDCORE GAMER like me, tries to play every game from all over the world at least once. I can prove because I drink doritoes and eat redbulls everyday.
