What went so HORRIBLY wrong?
Vampire The Masquerade 2
Brandon Murphy
Matthew Cruz
Hardsuit Labs

whats wrong, havent kept up with it
Adrian Price
Trying to make a sequel in the first place when it should've been obvious one would never turn out well.
Nathaniel Harris
This. Mitsoda thought he made the right choice when he approached Hardsuit. Maybe he played Blacklight or watched a video about it and thought "oh sick gunplay dudes". He didn't account for the fact that Hardsuit probably doesn't have the people that worked on the Blacklight games. Paradox OK'd the project because HL showed them a working prototype, they've got a script and the game shows Seattle in all it's glory. They've been working on it for five years prior to their meeting with Paradox. Paradox probably thought they were 99% done already.
The moment Alexandre Mandryka quits is when I know Bloodlines 2 was never a thing. He's a taskmaster, his task is to whip niggers hard enough to make a product. That, and everyone else is gone except for the new girl and the last few coders that stayed.
Julian Roberts
Paradox interactive and SJW subversion.
Mason Watson
I agree with pretty much everything but where did you get this "Mitsoda picked up Hardsuit to make BL2"? I don't think he's ever had this kind of power.
Eli Scott
>They've been working on it for five years prior to their meeting with Paradox.
I forgot about that. Ends up being kind of sad, if they had just not called it a sequel and said it was set in the same universe more people might've been receptive to it. Seems like Paradox thought it would've been easy money if the game was already made.
Julian Sanders
Vampires never existed in America
Josiah King
>the VtM: Battle Royale is actually real
>the fucking pixie German dyke Outstar is responsible
I actually hate the world so much
Jaxon Cooper
There was an article back in 2019. It's basically less about power and more like Mitsoda going "Hey I like you guys, wanna make a shooter?" and Hardsuit said yes.
Ethan Hall
Vampire the Masquerade became irreversibly pozzed and attracted the worst kind of people possible. This very same people, who often lack both ability and work ethic wherever they go, became part of the project.
Things started going south when they clamped up about details, potential demos and so on. The game was probably just a proof of concept with no direction and it had to be reigned in, which lead to friction between the few people who knew what they were doing and those who didn't.
The two dudes who could have made it work got booted by the SJW majority. Now we have the ME Andromeda writer taking over for the guy she herself accused of sexual harassment.
Colton Ward
Cara Ellison seems like an SJW and she got the boot as well though. I think it was just due to incompetence, there has mainly just been negative reception to everything after the first trailer with people begging them to delay the game because of how bad it looked.
>Now we have the ME Andromeda writer taking over for the guy she herself accused of sexual harassment.
Thought it wouldn't surprise me if this is just a PR move to try and pander harder to other SJWs hoping that they'll throw money at the game because they're more interested in virtue signalling than having decent games.
Joseph Gray
This seems likely. I remember being big into blacklight years ago and hearing about how so many people responsible were leaving the studio towards the end.
Just like bioware you have these parasites that inhabit the shell of a once beloved name and then turn everything about it to shit.
Liam Sullivan
>thats real
what the fuck that sounds so stupid but im actually excited because I miss playing Nosgoth so maybe it'll scratch the vampire multiplayer itch
Jacob Ward
They rejected my pitch.
Kayden Wright
It will be interesting in years to come to see what went on behind the scenes that caused this trainwreck.
Jonathan Butler
Paradox, lack of talent (Hardsuit Labs), SJWs, it's a horrifying concoction
Eli Harris
>try and pander harder to other SJWs hoping that they'll throw money at the game
When will they learn that these people just complain, and don't actually buy games?
Ayden James
if you want to make a decent game about trans lads and other pop culture issues, well, you have to have a decent game to start with, you just cant have a team full of "ideas man" and then some awful developers
Brody Turner
WTF AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAH
THAT'S CLOWN WORLD
Jaxson Garcia
I knew it was going to be the failure of the decade the moment they named it "Bloodlines II" instead of giving it its own title as part of the Vampire the Masquerade game franchise.
Vampire the Masquerade: Redemption
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
Vampire the Masquerade: __________
It's not hard, but they had so little faith in the project that it could never be anything except the game equivalent of a family sitcom clipshow episode.
Jose Taylor
Almost everything. It’s only saving grace is having Rik Schaffer back to do the OST. That’s it. Everything else about this title is a huge monkey paw disaster.
Joshua Hernandez
>What went so HORRIBLY wrong?
Paradox buying White Wolf.
Onyx Path was bad, but Paradox absolutely fucking destroyed it.
Isaac Rodriguez

Disgusting.
William King
Social Justice and DLC oriented design.

I once had a great dream that a fundamentalist Islamist shot everyone at the Swedish Paradox HQ.
Logan James
Whens the release date now?
William Johnson
I thought they catered to islam.

companies seriously need to grow a spine and tamp down on SJWs. when it gets to the point of imploding projects because of nonstop whining from females and s oytards and constant shuffling of people due to this, it's time grow some balls.
