An incredible but technically broken game

User Rating: 6.2 | Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines PC

Its not uncommon to see a game be brilliant in idea and design, but lacking completely in the technical aspect of the execution. vampire: the masquerade is an excellent pseudo rpg, with some great music, fantastic graphics and an addcting gameplay. It could honestly easily overshadow its sibling Half life 2...if only it wasnt one of the worst technical nightmares ever.

What do you say when a game in released in such a buggy state that it not only runs pathetically on very high end computers, its actually impossible to complete because of a game breaking bug that remains for over an year before a path is officially released (and that patch coincidentally fixes almost none of the major performance problems). The pain may be traced back to an absolutely broken hl2 engine, an early buggy version that is light years away from teh final one. its a pity that such a fantastic game was butchered so badly as to be unplayable.
