Why aren't there any good vampire games??

Vampires suck..

Yeah no, they really do.

because twilight made Vampires uncool :(Farkeman

Awesome answer! ....and definetely true :D

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

Well, there's Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Xbox which is technically a "vampire" game. I mean, you battle vampires and other creatures. Surprisingly enough the game is pretty awesome.

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

The big game companies like EA and Ubisoft didn't bother to create any vampire games because people would anticipate a lovey dovey, cookie cutter crap game. But i know what you mean, they shoud've released ALOT more vampire games, but the public just couldn't stomach it after the Twilight series. :(

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

Haven't patched it have you? If I recall Redemption had a lot of problems out of the box too.

The Unoffical Patch fixes the majority of the bugs; I've logged 356 hours of play without a single CTD or game-breaking bug.

I can't wait for the upcoming Vampire MMORPG.

I liked Bloodlines, but best RPG ever made? Oh, the imagination of some fans...

MY point: It needed a UNOFFICIAL Patch to fix it.... the game was MADE UNPLAYABLE by the developers..... so it's NOT a "greatest" made game....

FelipeInside

semantics. c'mon, you know what snot_boogie meant when he said "one of the greatest rpgs ever made" (read: of all time).

You've got it backwards: the publisher, Activision, knowingly forced the developers, Troika, to release an unfinished, buggy mess of a game.

I never had to find any unofficial patches or anything for my copy of Bloodlines, and I can only recall crashing once... Maybe twice. Weird.

this thread me think of twilight which in turn made me just a little bit sick :cry: id love to know how one of mythologies most feared beings became oohhhh he sparkles how adorable :roll:

Vampires suck..

Yeah no, they really do.

Read my earlier post....I said it was a shame that the devs had to bring it up in a hurry.

I play all games normally without any crashes, my computer isn't a beast but isn't crap.... but Bloodlines had framerate issues, quest issues and also crashes and bugs.

80% of the critics was cause Bloodlines sort of became a cult classic .... Hopefully the new MMO will be great...

I remember that it was a bit of a scandal concerning the reviews, because you couldn't complete the game without using a console command. And the patch to fix this came out 2 weeks after release. Which meant most of the reviewers didn't even do a whole playthrough.

If i remember correctly, you couldn't travel out of a cave by boat(the one with the prison cells). It just CTD.

Morrowind :)

The OP already said Bloodlines.

[QUOTE="gamer620"] It was unofficially patched because the developer went under... and for the record it was NOT unplayable... maybe your computer was crap but unplayable games don't average 80% from critics.SkyWard20

That's what I mean....

I know it's not the devs fault, but a game which comes out (released) and you can't even finish it cause of crashes/bugs can't be a GREAT made game....

They should give that company another chance...

The last good vampire game I played was Vampire Night on PS2 with the lightgun. Come to think of it I'd love to play a vampire RPG..

Haven't patched it have you? If I recall Redemption had a lot of problems out of the box too.

Sure it is.. If you patch it with community patch it most certainly is.. This is pointless to argue that "clear it isn't because you need to patch it!".. Who cares this is about the experience it presents not how it was years ago.. if you base it off that, then your missing out on many games..

It's not even a good game if you compare it with it's source material. If the games story would be an session in the pen and paper game, most would laugh or just throw the GM out on the sidewalk. The first game is a lot better in both gameplay, story and being faithful to it's source material.

my fingers are crossed for world of darkness being successful

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]

[QUOTE="FelipeInside"] That's what I meant. Yeah, every game comes out with bugs and a few patches fixes them....but Bloodlines was unplayable, and not only did it need patches but also community fixes to make it playable (and hell, still people have issues). I played Redemption without patches and never had an issue (just a few crashes here and there).... If a game has great story, great gameplay etc but it is so poorly coded that you can't actually play it....then it doesn't make it one of the greatest games ever made (no matter the genre)....kaealy

Source material? No game is ever going to come close to what a pen and paper experience is like, until you realize this your going to be disapointed no matter what.

Comparing Redemption to Bloodlines? Really? Only on Gamespot. :roll:

Seriously, if you made that comparison on any other forum (especially a RPG forum) you would be laughed out of the thread. And, for the record, I thought Redemption was an okay game for what it was but, better than Bloodlines? C'mon...

-wildflower-

Twilight, and in general the whole chick lit supernatural romance crap has turned vampires, werewolves, faeries, etc. into pale imitations of their former selves. Heck, women's genre fiction has ruined "Romance" as a viable category of novel. You can't even SEARCH for a romance novel and expect anything remotely worth reading.. You have to look for some other genre that happens to have romance in it.jedinat

amen mrs victoria.. amen

personnaly the last game i played with good lycantheropes is by far primal on the ps2.. nothing yet has been quite as epic in its genre which basically consists of ;ara croft and her whats his face immitator on the ps3.

and for vampirism in general i gotta tip my hat to morrowind big time.. morrowind let you mess around with real vampirism in ways NO GAME has ever done.

here is a fine sample of what primal is capable of..
