Looking back at.....Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines!
There´s a good chance that you´ve never heard of this game, but it´s quite unique so I´m not that suprised if you haven´t. It´s a good game that had some issues and then things went even worse for the developers, which made this game more difficult to get. But it´s one of the few good vampire games where you actually feel and act like a vampire, instead of being some overpowered or just completely weird creature that has nothing to do with vampires. Of course you´ll probably say that there are plenty of other great vampire games and that might be true, but I think that this game actually captured the whole turning into a vampire and then deal with it scenario pretty good!
You play as someone that has just been turned into a vampire, you can decide what type of vampire and if you want to be a man or a woman. This creates unique dialogue depending on the choices you make here, I really like things like this so you can have your own unique story instead of doing what everyone else does. You quickly learn that you have to stick to certain rules, which means don´t reveal yourself in public (as in don´t let everyone know you´re a vampire). Sooner or later you´ll feel the urge to feed and then you have to be clever, you don´t just grab the first person you meet, no you go to certain places where you blend in with the crowd and then seduce someone so you can feed on them. Of course feeding doesn´t mean killing, if you listen to the heartbeat you should know how much you can take without killing them. During the story you´ll have to pick a side and that will influence the story, which can end good or bad for you.
You can also learn other skills, for example lockpicking if you want to break into certain places which can lead you to some good stuff. During the game you get quests but you can also do your own stuff, you´re not bound to following a story, you can also just do your own vampire stuff if you want to. During the game you´ll meet plenty of other vampires but already in your first mission you´ll meet ghosts, which sets the mood for this game pretty good. You think you´re a bad ass vampire until you enter a haunted house where a ghost is trying to kill you, don´t be suprised if a vampire shits in his or her pants!
My only problem with this game is that it never felt finished to me, because I had a lot of bugs in my game. Which made certain parts of the game very difficult to play, but it´s still worth checking out because the story is very good. Also there are plenty of places online where you can buy a digital copy, these are usually of better quality. So if you´ve always wanted to know how it feels to be a vampire then this is a good game to figure that out!
