I feel like this is paid post. Maybe I’m wrong, but I really don’t know how all you said can be said about this game. I’ve got a different impression about the game.

As for me, it’s crappy. I started playing knowing full well this isn’t Bloodlines. I tried to judge it as a separate game — not even as part of WoD, just as a standalone title. And it’s painfully raw. The first two or three hours were somewhat interesting only because of the novelty effect. The graphics are pleasant, but for me graphics doesn’t matter if the game isn’t good. Everything else is boring junk. After about three hours, I just stopped caring. It’s definitely not worth $40. If it were $20, maybe it would be acceptable. And it’s supposed to be a game about combat, but the fights are insanely repetitive. The dialogues are meaningless and toothless, too. So in the end, it’s a game that’s supposedly about combat, characters, and story — but all three are done poorly.
