Not going to happen. The longer a game is in development past like 3 years the worse it is going to be. If they just released the dev tools and what they have done now, i am sure the fans would finish making the game and it would end up better than what they might eventually release.
All the Nosferatu fun in this game come from their dialogues and how because they're tired of being insulted all the time they roast every single character they otherwise would have an option to seduce. That and their obfuscation powers made them great for stealth playthroughs.
The malkavians have obfuscate which is what i always play as and the one malkavian abilty the one that turns enemys crazy is great if you need to distract for a stealth kill
Playing Nosferatu was the most fun I've had playing this game, and that's the first clan I've ever played. Kinda wanna try a Malkavian run one of these days too.
i honestly have never played the game as anything other than nosferatu they look cool and have amazing dialogue + i like stealth playthroughs. i know some people complain about not being able to do certain quests but as far as i know no quest is locked off just some ways to complete quests are locked off but they usually have an alternative that leads to the same result anyway.
Absolutely adore the dialogue in this game. Malkavian class have one of the most fun dialogue, ability and interaction in this game. Thanks for unlocking a memory core of me enjoying this game back in the 2000's
A Malk player-character also realizes who the taxi driver is if her "Dementation" skill is high enough. Which is the best dialogue skill that's ever existed in any RPG ever, btw. Imo, a Malk is the only proper way to play VtM: Bloodlines.
This game is pure jank with its bugs, rough combat, and a rushed finale, but man it's one of my all-time favorites. I love the character writing, art design, and atmosphere, just as much as I hated the obligatory sewer level.
I have beaten the game a Nosferatu. A *lot* of things are wrong with me. Too many to list. After a while, you just sorta get a sixth sense about where to go in the sewers.
The nosferatu run is interesting in how it reshapes everything into a stealth run, but I feel like it's only playable after you've won the game several times and already know what characters you're supposed to talk to. Otherwise I have no idea how you'd tell the difference between merchants, quest-givers, and normal NPCs you're not allowed to let yourself be seen by.
“You can shape-shift into anything you want, and *this* is the form you picked?” Well of course, dude; she’s Chinese so obviously she picked the form of a tentacle monster. No. Wait. …that’s another Japanese thing.
IIRC the lore Kuei-jin don't actually get to pick their Beast Mode looks and just have to make do with whatever their subconscious puked up or something so it's kind of a crapshoot. Given their literally-crawled-out-of-Hell background the nasty kind of irony is a frequent occurrence.
yes thats an ingame mechanic to not use supernatural stuff in places where normal humans can see you or else they go and like scream vampires are real, if you break the masquerade 5 times the game kills you by starting a bloodhunt on you. its actually a fun game over where you can fight back lol.
I played as in Nosferatu and I disregarded the rules about traveling through sewers and walked straight into a diner, and old lady saw and had a heart attack and died. It was funniest shit ever!
Discovered you about 4 months ago and have watched through everything you've posted. So funny man. Clicked on this quicker than roadrunner. Keep up the good work man!
@@Lankyblankman yeah found myself coming around to rewatching vids already. Big gamer but i have no interest in streamers/twitch etc, find it cringy. But pongsifu's hilariously honest (and also somewhat hapless) playthroughs hit the spot
@@coneberry6905 true I personally believe "saving" the serious "sister" is a good ending. She's clearly a person so traumatised by her past events, that she developed a second personality to deal with it- if this status quo is allowed to last, or her delusional personality takes full reins, her mental state will never get better- she needs to let go of her past, throw away her father's painting and understand it's not her sister, it's all her- and she must come to terms with her sister's death. If you allow her delusional side to take over, things will get even worse- she'll, as seen in her dialogue, constantly shift between quircky personality fans love and complete loneliness and misery. This is what I got on my first playthrought, and I felt horrible about causing it. So yeah, my opinion changed since I've written this comment. Compared to death of her serious side, this is still a good ending- but one that leaves the main problem unresolved. Unless... now that I think about it, once her two personalities come to terms, she's no longer shifting between them- she's always herself, just keeping two faces at the same time, so they might merge together eventually- that's recovery, rather than status quo. What a great game, I can't decide which option is the best after all.
@@starhalv2427 Having a split personality is very tame for malkavian standards. I still think killing half of her personality for the sake of "balance" is comparable to a lobotomy. Yeah, you're not as moody anymore, but at what cost?

Glad to see you playing this treasure of a game, Pongsifu. And hilarious video as always. Though, I thought you’d be more of a Toreador type, but then again…no one can resist the goth chads Tremeres. I’d love to see you play Fallout New Vegas next, or any game really that’s full of meme-able moments. That wouldn’t be much of a problem since you can make any game entertaining to watch :)
@@Pongsifu Damn, that is some serious dedication. And yeah, tbh I'd probably skip F3 as well. Story and lore wise, it's easily a pass (no offence to F3 lovers, I do love the game...but FNV handles the comedic and serious tones better). Though the mod @Shorewall suggested is pretty good as well since F3 does have its moments. Now I can't wait to watch your video on F2 and FNV :)
5:01 The Mass Effect critical mission failure music with the dead body, really made that better. Call of the Night! That anime looks really interesting. Thank you for listing where stuff comes from. This part is so well done, really great editing. 10:39
Only rewatching the video after 2 months i noticed the screen at 7:34 showing a tease to the fallout video. Your videos are truly gems to age like a fine wine.
Overall, you just made me spend 22 minutes and 9 seconds laughing at a game I love. I was not expecting this today. Loved the Saren death theme, btw; nice touch among many others.
Love your humour! Cracks me up every time. Your transition to the outro is on point every time as well. I keep meaning to find out what the outro song is but it is kind of nice to only hear it in Pongsifu videos. Gives me goose bumps when the transition comes. You manage to make it feel like an epic coming to end. Like finishing a good movie or good book.
Thanks for adding subtitles in your videos. I like to watch youtube stuff on my phone while my wife sleeps next to me and the subtitles allow me to keep the volume way down. Love your stuff!
My first playthrough was a blind one, I picked Nosferatu. Did the entire game with a stealth/melee build and saw a LOT of sewers. I didn't know how much dialogue I missed until I replayed it.
Also, that's a common misconception: A MAZE has usually only one correct path to an exit from a start, whereas a LABYRINTH has only one, SUUUUUPER long and winding path.
Honestly when he got to the haunted house I thought he'd be like me: ripping on this game for being old, then one and a half solid hours of brely intelligible pants shitting.
Therese: "They're perfectly harmless." Clearly Therese is _not_ down with Vampire: The Masquerade's sister game, Wraith: The Oblivion. You know how vampires have Disciplines? Wraiths have Arcanoi, and maybe half of those Arcanoi are all about fucking with people, vampires, werewolves and other inhabitants of the Skinlands (the world of the living, if you will). Embody? You can go all 'Ghostbusters' by manifesting fully in the Skinlands, scaring the shit out of them and smacking them around (while opening yourself to their attacks in return, alas). Outrage? Yeah, remember that scene in 'Ghost' where Patrick Swayze's smacking his murderer Eddie around the apartment, slamming doors and shit into him, throwing things at him (like Ed the evil wraith in Bloodlines here does) and shoving him down the stairs, and Eddie still can't see him or do a damned thing to him? Outrage is like that. Inhabit? You possess machinery and electronics, which you can use to send messages (like turning on a TV and putting yourself on the screen...even if the TV's unplugged) or kick people's asses (like steering their car off a cliff or using an animatronic as a new body and moving it around, Freddy Fazbear style). Puppetry? Now you're possessing _people,_ and the weaker their willpower, the less they resist, so you can hijack one of their weak-willed flunkies and make him shoot his boss in the head. Pandemonium? You get to recreate the 'Poltergeist' movies! Fun, fun, fun! Keening? You can start singing or playing music that people in the Skinlands can hear, and you use that music to alter people's emotions...and yes, fear, rage and panic are still valid emotions. Max out your Keening and you basically become a banshee. And Phantasm? Well, you have to wait until they're asleep, _then_ you can jump into their dreams and make like Freddy Krueger. On top of that, you can take Embody and combine it with _other_ Arcanoi to wreck people in _even more_ ways. Embody + Moliate? You can make like 'Beetlejuice,' manifest, turn your hands into huge carnival mallets or Freddy Krueger finger blades and lay into people _that_ way. Embody + Intimation? "Hey, you know what you should do now? Stick the muzzle of that revolver in your mouth and squeeze the trigger! I bet it's not even loaded!" Embody + Flux? "Nice longsword. Mind if I make it immediately crumble to useless rust right there in your hand?" Embody + Usury? "I just stole all of your Willpower, all of your Blood Pool/Rage/Quintessence/other fuel for your supernatural powers _and_ a few of your Health Levels. Now the _real_ fun begins!" Embody + Fatalism? "It looks like you're scheduled to die from a sudden heart attack on August 10, 2055. Let's see if I can bump that date up a bit...." Embody + Mnemosynis? Send them on a one-way ticket to Amnesia City, then stick those stolen memories in their worst enemy's brain for bonus style points! But like how the vampires have the Masquerade, the wraiths have the Dictum Mortuum, which specifically outlaws wraiths who fuck around with mortals in any way...like, even in _good_ ways, like saving some mortal's life when they're fated to die. So while you _can_ mess with mortals, _don't_ get caught by the wrong wraiths, or you can look forward to getting Soulforged and being forced to spend eternity as some ancient wraith's wingback chair or whatever. Fortunately, not-quite-mortals - like vampires, werewolves, changelings, et al - aren't covered by the Dictum Mortuum and are fair game...but some of _them_ have some very powerful friends who can wreck _you_ just as hard. In summation, 'harmless,' my ass!
Wow, this was an unexpected treat! Two of my favourite things, Pongsifu and VTM: Bloodlines, rolled into one? Clickety click I have played a Nossie and enjoyed :D People don't bother you all that much, especially in Hollywood. There, they even compliment you on your body modification feats. But the insults received elsewhere are great too. The Sheriff: maybe he had a bit of werewolf blood from Twilight and got allergic to shirts halfway through dinner. Tragic
Goddamnit, man! This was hilarious! I was just replaying this game for the millionth time, and it still holds-ish. Good vid! PS: I only play as Nosferatu. You don't really have to hide that much. Just walk a distance away from people and you can waltz right down the streets like everyone else.
I kinda wish they had made the Nosferatu play more differently than the other clans. I get the feeling that was intended, like everything else didn't get fully fleshed out because of the development hell
It's really a rare moment when a 20 year old game makes a meme joke with the Kool-aid man part and it's still be good and well known 19:48 well...she is Chinese
As a fun of old shitty video games i had heard about this game for years but never played it or watched a video on it. However after watching this video when it first dropped it finally inspired me to pick it up on GOG because it came with the basic fan patch. It instantly became one of my all time favorite games. 11/10 would recommend
Pong, I've been following you for a long, long time. But starting the video off with Angel makes me love you. Nothing screams 90's vampire goth more than Mezzanine.
Now we wait to find out if Bloodlines 2 can live up to a game that was released so unfinished and buggy that it had to be fixed by fans.
but will there be another hot harley quinn vampire? If not 0/10
Not going to happen. The longer a game is in development past like 3 years the worse it is going to be. If they just released the dev tools and what they have done now, i am sure the fans would finish making the game and it would end up better than what they might eventually release.
Pongsifu will you reupload your older video like dark souls 3 one? I see some clip of it in your kingdom come deliverance video
No, it won't; you and I both know it, Mr. Still Puts Cookies Out For Santa
Could’ve sworn 2 was cancelled
Just to clarify something, Jeanette was the first to have that look. The redesigned Harley Quinn that resembles Jeanette came after Bloodlines.
Damn Straight.
I blame this game for my taste in women.
@@sayxxdx which type of woman? Vampires?
@@conq1273 Crazy

The TV talking to you at various points of the game was the best.
@@MrRjh63 and the ability to turn enemies against each other is just wonderful, since the combat in this game is wonky

A Malk player-character also realizes who the taxi driver is if her "Dementation" skill is high enough. Which is the best dialogue skill that's ever existed in any RPG ever, btw.
Imo, a Malk is the only proper way to play VtM: Bloodlines.
"this is a actual labyrinth why did they do this to me"- a perfect summary of a first experience with the sewer level in Bloodlines tbh.
Thank god the unnoficial patch adds a shortcut in the sewers
I experienced this my first time playing a few days ago. I almost quit without looking at a guide haha

Just use the community patch, it makes it sooo much better.
@@ExceedProduction Yeah, I think that's pretty much mandatory with how many game-breaking glitches they managed to iron out. Hahah
that's basically all Troika games lol chad game designers

I played this game a lot in Highschool brings back the good old days 🤣
My best experience with Malkavian - he's talking nonsense until you beat the game, then realize that (s)he was feeding you with spoilers
I have beaten the game a Nosferatu. A *lot* of things are wrong with me. Too many to list. After a while, you just sorta get a sixth sense about where to go in the sewers.
This is true, plus you get so good with stealth & the obscure/ invis ability that you can just move unnoticed above ground.
Completely immersed yourself into the nosferatu ways
The nosferatu run is interesting in how it reshapes everything into a stealth run, but I feel like it's only playable after you've won the game several times and already know what characters you're supposed to talk to. Otherwise I have no idea how you'd tell the difference between merchants, quest-givers, and normal NPCs you're not allowed to let yourself be seen by.
Sigma nosferatu grind
Played with that class too.
Living in the sewers it's not that bad, I have internet connection
Actually Harley Queen looks like her, she came first, harley still had the cartoon art style when this game came out
They directly cited this game as her design inspiration for Arkham City
oh yeah, CAME first alright
Not only that, they said the gameplay mechanic of being a predator was inspired by Manhunt.
"Ever lose so much blood that you just disappear from this reality?"
Yes, but only twice.
>Get home from work
>run errands
>finally sit down with snack

The relief....just immense. Team Pong always comes through.
Imagine actually watching 22 minutes of " Pong gameplay "
“You can shape-shift into anything you want, and *this* is the form you picked?”

Goddamnit, man! This was hilarious! I was just replaying this game for the millionth time, and it still holds-ish. Good vid!
PS: I only play as Nosferatu. You don't really have to hide that much. Just walk a distance away from people and you can waltz right down the streets like everyone else.
I kinda wish they had made the Nosferatu play more differently than the other clans. I get the feeling that was intended, like everything else didn't get fully fleshed out because of the development hell
I am still terrified whenever I play the Ocean House quest even though I know it's harmless and I know whats gonna happen
Blood magick makes this so much easier.
Things I say every day at work.
Hey now. The ghosts are harmless. The pots and pans they hurl at you, however....
Pongsifu got the most excellent selection of games he uploads on the channel.
Jesus christ... when the werewolf broke down the wall when you hid in the bathroom, took me off guard watching it... xD I jumped in my chair...
When i played this game as a teenager i imagined the future of gaming to be glorious. Sad how i was wrong, and nothing better has released yet...

0:56 You can pick up that hand and use it as a weapon. It's pretty handy.
It's really a rare moment when a 20 year old game makes a meme joke with the Kool-aid man part and it's still be good and well known
19:48 well...she is Chinese
Cieling vampire almost made me spit my drink on my phonne
By far the funniest horvy man I have seen on UA-cam. Glad to have found and subbed
i really enjoy your videos Pongsifu, never change
"Is it because of the Republican thing" really got me. 10/10
As a fun of old shitty video games i had heard about this game for years but never played it or watched a video on it. However after watching this video when it first dropped it finally inspired me to pick it up on GOG because it came with the basic fan patch. It instantly became one of my all time favorite games. 11/10 would recommend
Same. After watching this video I finally completed a playthrough and it was great.
10:55
Vampire: "What is that smell?"
Pongsifu: "Axe body spray."
*BA DUM TSSSSS*
5:15 Yup... step into the back of the diner and BAM! Dead... by pistols. Umm...
Conkers bad fur day at 10:27
Tucker saying KYS is pretty great meme
One of my favorite UA-camrs playing my all time favorite game. I have been blessed this day.
When Pongisfu drops I listen. Simple.
16:10 ngl 90% of the experience watching this was spent wondering when you actually added a sound effect and when not
Jesus Christ, HOW?! I literally just completed this game for the first time in my life only to go to UA-cam and find this in my recommended.
I was waiting for you to finish it.
@@Pongsifu And you even also played Tremere and chose the same ending, now that's considerate, thanks.
Gotta say this video had very spooky timing, because 2 days ago I randomly decided to buy and play this, and here you are uploading a video on it.
Hell yeah new video, always love watching your stuff dude.
I've been ready for this video. I got my chips and Madeleines, everything, my enema, everything i tell you.
Play it again as a malkavian! Not only is it hilarious; it also (surely) gonna give you enough material for another vid.
> plays best clan
> doesn't keep an Odious Chalice on hand
A.k.a. going from story mode to easy mode.
12:01 funny that you mention that when LA is one of the few cities in the US with a Little Tokyo
For anyone who hasn't actually played this game, the actual ending is equally incomprehensible. And you should probably play it.
I genuinely did not expect this tbh,
But hey,now I can enjoy watching a pongsifu video about a game i never heard about
"E is talk, it's also apparently execute with a katana." Well I mean we did establish that it's Chinatown, I've seen movies.
13:09 I almost died chocking on my food, god damn XD
Missed a Kevin Malone opportunity with the mummies line
I played as a nosferatu and I will tell you, that I learned to navigate in each conalization.)
I think I found another content goldmine! This is the first vid of yours I stumbled upon and 8mins in I'm subbed!
i recently discovered your videos, super funny stuff man, keep up the good work
I have never expected to see Pocho Lavezzi in one of your videos 😂. 10/10
I shit you not, just yesterday I thought "Pongsifu should do a vtmb playthrough, the game's a perfect fit for his channel" and lo and behold...
This video is the exact reason I am subscribed to this channel.
That house on the tape is literally Luigi's Mansion.
Well, that was a great time. Made my day better
dude your channel is gold
Pong, I've been following you for a long, long time. But starting the video off with Angel makes me love you. Nothing screams 90's vampire goth more than Mezzanine.
