I agree with Luvian to some extent, they had really nice ideas and should have continued thinking up games and ideas, but left the programming to some others.

Vampire is however a good game when it comes to atmosphere, feeling and such. Really nice story but the ending could have been better and so could the programming.

There are unofficial patches still comiing out from the fan base which are doing an incredible job and that Activision didn't release a mod tool in its simplest forms is just a shame and lack of goodwill.. But I guess that the media business all in all seems to consider their customars too much of hooligans, pirates and criminals these days...

Sum summarum, if you like vmpires, are ready to do alot of changes in the configs and want to read up perhaps an hour or two in forums to get help to get the thing running rather smoothly, it is definately a game worth the time.

If you lack the "stamina" and want a thing running smoothly out of the box, I would give it a three out of five.

And so I dig up my Bloodlines, and I feel like playing it. Anyone know a good site to download a patch that works from?
EDIT:
Nevermind, I was stupid so i asked before trying to search on PlanetVampire.

I thought the Vampire game was really cool. It did make my computer run hard--poor thing! And it was annoying how long it took to load a new area, but I worked around that. The graphics, animations, ambience, scariness and humor made it all worth it! I agree--the hotel was SCARY!!! There were other buildings I explored that scared the daylights out of me, too (such as the area with blood dripping from the ceilings, the prosthetic area, the lunatic place, etc.) The music in those places really added to the scariness! I played a Malkavian (and now I realize--who didn't? lol), and it was quite funny the stuff she said and did! I'd suggest buying the game, part. at the lowered price it is now.
