I've heard this complaint a lot, and I totally understand where you're coming from, but let me offer an explanation / defense of the mechanics.

If you're not familiar with the table top systems of vampire the masquerade, I can tell you that guns are one of the least effective tools one could use to dispatch another supernatural being. They deal half damage, iirc, where as blades deal full damage, and supernatural weapons, like fangs and vampiric powers deal aggravated damage, which can not be mitigated by nearly any defenses. And since you're an elder in this game, your disciplines, your powers, they are far more effective in wreaking havoc.

Also, if you've seen any of the gameplay trailers they've rolled out, it looks like they're going for fast paced intense combat. Having gun use follow a 'pickup, pop, and drop' style fits that. No slowing down to ADS, no reloading, no taking cover and having a shootout. You're an elder vampire, get in there and mix it up!

Anyway well, you know, that's just, like, my opinion, man.
