Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines for PC Reviews by Gamers

Alright this predates even the twilght books but I started playing this again one becuase it finaly got carried over from the D2D merger, still waiting on a good 6 other good classics to trasnfer over, and two its got a rich story line. Its not the worlds most epic RPG its very dry at first, but its got a lot to offer, and as you get going you get caught up in the story during good chunks of it.

Of course I played Malkavian my first go, that alone gaurenties some laughs, and intrest. They are mad, but also have a creepy insight to things because of their warped minds. I love the fact that this game has diffrent lines meaning something more then what cool coven they hang out in. In fact I like the setting in this game better them most past and current vampire movies.

It gives a little something for every one since there are diffrent types of vampires to use. There broken up kind of like classes except they all have the same skill point sytem, your line just determines your 3 powers, and your starting traits. Of course there is a couple little things as well like how you are treated and dress, Malkavians as I mentioned before dress like there on drugs, and pretty much mental are on a permant drug trip. Most find the Malkavians speach and mandness a little off puting, some out right hate them. They also put in the nospherto type, where your gremlin looking, the old school feral vampire. With them you have to use stealth and creep around the sewer, and you are not welcome above ground for obvous reasons.

Over all thats the jist of it slow passed at first story, then it kind of hooks you if you got the right char build. Its not the worlds greatest, and not for every one, there was quite a few areas to creepy for my tastes, but over all your just creeping around the seedy parts of town at night.

This game is great but if your running it on an xp pc you will have to run in compatibility mode or you will get the 15 mb memory error and game resolution will be stretched if your using a widescreen monitor ther eis a res patch but compatibility mode also fixed this for me.

Beware! When running the game on a non-xp system you must download a patch for the game to function, otherwise you will get the "only 15MB of memory" error. Just google "vampire the masquerade bloodlines unofficial patch" and do a little searching around. (I'm not sure what GameFly's policy is on posting links or I'd just post it for ya.)

That being said, this game may be nearing 10 years old but it still shines. A definite must play for any avid gamer. The gameplay is well-designed and downright fun. The storyline is well thought out, and with multiple vampire clans you can end up using vastly different play styles for each one.

I highly recommend this game.

When I try to play it says there is only 15 mb of memory. Please fix or give me a refund please.

can not run this from gamefly says memory less than 15m. looks like a good old school game wish i could play it fix plz

this is the only game of its kind and i LOVE it. so get your fangs ready!!!! and enjoy!!!!

Bought the game, very excited to play it. Then pop up less then 15 g memory or what not thanks alot so I got a game that I can't play awesome reallly awesome.

Just bought the game (ive owned once before back in the day) so i bought it on sale for 5$. Downloaded it off gamefly thinking they'd give me a good copy but apparently not. Brand new 3d XPS 17 can't run it due to lach of memory BS. I'd like a refund if I cant get it fixed. otherwise the gameplay when I used to own it was great but you'd think they'd work out the bugs before selling.

I download this game just to play the Haunted Hotel level but discovered that this game is addicting and fun. an rpg worth a person's time and money

This is one of the few games (rpg or othewise) I've played through more than 2 times. In fact, I've gone through it at least 5 times (Brujah, Malkavian, Ventrue, Tremere, and Nosferatu runs come to mind). Bauldur's Gate 2 is probably the only game I've played more hour-for-hour. The character developement, intrigue, and plot are all top notch. A little older at this point, the graphics are still pretty nice. Even if you've never played before, I recommend getting Wesp's latest patches from his site (just google: Wesp Bloodlines Patch).

Truely a memoryable game.

This game is soo good. I think I played it 3 times or more most of the way...which is rare for me. Choose one of the 6(?) vampire classes, each leading to different enough possible play styles and conversation options. Beautiful atmosphere, great setting really pulled me in. If you choose Malkavian...all of your options in conversation will be in semi-crazy, but sometimes prophetic, and sometimes hilarious talk. This is beautifully thought out game. But you should be able to really get into the game. I recommend trying it.
