Why aren't there any good vampire games??

The only vampire game that is worth playing is vampire bloodlines and to be honest it isn't that good. Combat is not good, pretty unbalanced and there isn't alot to do in the world. Does anybody know of a good vampire game other then bloodlines?? Romeo00z

Haha, Twilight has eclipsed all other vampire fiction and media? Please, that doesn't stop other modern vampire series like Anne Rice's from fading away. Seriously, it will ruin vampire fiction if you all don't let go of it. For such a mediocre series, Twilight isn't even worth complaining about.

Back on topic, I wish there were more vampire games too. There wasn't much left for me to play after Bloodlines, which I finished not too long ago.

Mm... Blood Rayne comes to mind.. even thou the game had issues, it was fun.

In all honesty, Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines still remains once of the best Vampire/Rpg games.

Redemption>>>>Bloodlines

Bah, it's sad that a lot of people don't know about the Legacy of Kain series

Now whenever I hear the word "vampire" I instantly think of Twilight. ):

Vampires are badass, those sparkly, gay vampires in twilight are nothing compared to "real" vampires. God I hate that movie, if you can even call it that. The vampires in "The vampire diaries" are cool, they have amazing powers and a game with vampires with powers like that would be really cool. I guess you can't get everything you wish for.. :(Romeo00z

I enjoyed Blood Omen 2.

Castlevania i guess is a vampire game... but yeah thats PS3 =/ Pretty sweet game though.

Prexxus

Edit: There's also one on the PSP - though there is a Konami compilation containing the 3 NES Castlevania, along with Contra and Super-C on the PC. MSX and X68000 were also technically "Personal Computers" anyway.

This sort of sums up why I think Bloodlines isn't and never will be one of the greatest RPGs ever made.

Once you patch it up, Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines is an excellent and scary game with plenty of atmosphere. But, I agree, we need a new Vampire game.

I wish some smart game developer would tackle Bram Stoker's Dracula.

And here's an article that pretty much refutes most of the stuff in the one you posted: Forever Young, The Tragedy of Bloodlines

Yes, I think everyone would agree that the last act of the game really suffers and is broken to some degree but that's what happens when you team up with a greedy publisher like Activision who shoves the game out the door before it's obviously been completed.

Yes, I think making them hurry up for the release was the big mistake and why it suffered...

And that I think pretty much sums up the ultimate Tragedy of Troika. They really did hook up with some awful publishers. Activision, Sierra, and Atari were all terrible in their own, Ninth Circle of Hell, sort of way.

• IGN: Bloodlines is a much stronger game than the previous one in the series
• Atomic Gamer: an action-RPG that's on par with System Shock or Deus Ex
• Cinescape: I don't know that I've been as immersed in an RPG since Knights of the Old Republic
• CVG: Had the melee been more refined...and the niggles ironed out, then you'd be looking at perhaps the finest RPG of all time
• RPGFan: If it hadn't been for the bugs, this game would have been one of my favorite RPGs of all time
• GameChronicles: You're going to love the original characters and the quality dialogue and how it all comes together in one of the best narratives of our time

Cool story bro... :)

1) I actually met Anne Rice - she's extremely mentally ill, and a quick read of her other books about sadism pretty much confirm that. I wouldn't want to play any game that she had anything to do with.

2) Twilight? I don't watch much TV, and I stay away from teeny bopper pop culture, but from what I understand - it's like some emo vampire soap opera. Again - doesn't sound like it would make a very good game.

3) What would you do in a vampire game? Hunting them would possibly be alright, but playing as one seems a little weird. . . depressing even.

You need to play Vampire The Masquerade: Redemption as in RIGHT NOW !!!

The OP already said Bloodlines.

DeadlyWormy

Nobody on GS bothers to read anything past the subject line much less the thread. This whole thread has just degenerated into a pointless debate over the merits of a game that the Op has already played.

To the Op, based on what you've described it doesn't sound like Bloodrayne/Soul Reaver style games are really what you are looking for but rather an RPG that's in the spirit of the Pen and Paper RPG. Beyond the ones actually based on the White Wolf RPG that have already been mentioned (Bloodlines and Redemption) there aren't a ton. I can name several poor quality games like Nightwatch (based on the Russian horror novel and movie of the same name, the characters are "others" which are similar to vampires). Unfortunately this is a bit of a niche category.

If you don't mind playing something a little bit older, I played a game a long time ago back in the DOS/Amiga days called Bloodnet. It was a Cyberpunk/Vampire genre adventure RPG. As for current titles, I can't think of any beyond those mentioned.

You were owned, Felipe, just owned......

Bloodlines >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Redemption for me also, and yes, I played both games 'til the credits

As for the OP: No, there are no good vampire themed pc games besides the Masquerade ones. Morrowind GOTY has Vampire themes in it, yes, but it's more of an addition to the whole fantasy setting.

because twilight made Vampires uncool :(Farkeman

I believe Castlevania: Simphony of the night is the greatest vampire game ever made. After all, you play as a vampire.

Next, the Legacy of Kain series., then i would say Vampire: The Masquerade.

There are good vampire games, you just need to search for them, i guess.

thee has NEVER been a good vampire based game really and im thankful their never will be.. okay so thats a bit of an exaggeration but there is nothing recent and twilight and angel both suck.. terribly

you want this lost.. okay..

the bloody rayne franchise

vampires: the masquerade

dracula: legacy

legacy of kain franchise

you can also argue primal is another due to her.. "lycantherope like" abilities.

oh and youg otta paly painkiller.. nothing quite like pankiller.. hehehe

We can only hope that World of Darkness will be the reincarnation of Vampire TM.

ehh...forums are not about "owning" other people flukki, it's about expressing your own opinion and the basis of that opinion, and then discussing with someone a different side or aspect of same topic. FelipeInside

In theory of course that's a great idea but...

vampire the masquerade redemption begs to differ..... an amazing vampire game. makes bloodlines look retarded.Roland123_basic

Then you get comments like the one above and the whole idea of discussing things in a civilized manner grinds to a screeching halt. So, people then take the, "when in Rome" attitude (I know I'm guilty of this) and the flames ignite. What can you do?

You have no idea what a discussion/debate is about.

Of course you have to respect other people's opinions, or else there wouldn't be a discussion in the first place.... you're opinion would be ALWAYS correct and everybody else would ALWAYS be WRONG.

[QUOTE="Roland123_basic"] or the forums get people like you that are overly sensitive and completely absurdly emotional. redemption is the better game. it makes bloodlines look bad. my opinion. get over it. i do not have to agree with others, and i do not have to respect their opinion. its the internet, my opinion and the opinions of those that agree with me are the only ones that matter TO ME. your opinion matters to you. thats great move along. discussing videogames is like discussing politics. some people like certain things that others dont.... it is pointless to debate.Roland123_basic

The only good vampire games i can recallare Bloodlines and Redemption. Since this topic (I mean vampires) is not so famous along the RPG gamers, there aren't many vampire games. Bloodlines is really buggy, since it came out unfinished and redemption is hard to make playable, because it freezes or comes up with an error message for me, or just simply forgets my save games.
