Because you think Troika games are inherently good? That's a good argument.
That it is a bad adaptation of world of darkness, as anyone with any knowledge of the setting, beyond basic, can attest? Naturally, you are just defending it because it's made by Troika, not because you have any knowledge of it.
VTM is bad because it had a hengeyokai instead of a werewolf.
Were did i said that? I never said it was bad because of that, and i never said it was bad at all. It was more along the lines of
good for what it is. I criticize, regardless, both an obscure and retarded crossover and a contrived and cliched one when given some events on the plot some other forces on the World of Darkness would have been much more in-theme and have
actual reasons to become involved.
One random example: There's a film going around with pretty realistic fleshcrafted monsters torturing and eating people in a pretty gross setting and no one got a copy, said
smells Nephandus, and came to investigate? Heh. Instead you'll have a bunch of MiBs and Euthanatoi, at the very least, possibly working together and fine combing hollywood (while probably running simulations back in their bases about the possible outcome of just laser cannon'ing the general area from orbit and report
an asteroid did it, which is always plan B when it comes to possible Nephandus activity). And that's actually a pretty normal and in-character cameo to have on any plot regarding the Tzimisce somehow ignoring the masquerade, since the Tzimisce and the Nephandi have somehow matching, say,
artistical tastes, similar minions, and in some cases similar modus operandi, and it follows the setting and the lore instead of just being some retarded anime joke/reference thrown in for the lulz.
Let's not talk about how contrived and uncomfortable the entire
let's pull a werewolf out of our butts part actually is. Not to mention vampires openly using their disciplines to hunt you in a
fucking city, just in front a
bloody hospital and
a bloody night club? Camarilla Vampires? Good one.
From a world of darkness perspective Bloodlines is awful and done for the lulz.
Except that it had both hengeyokai and a werewolf. Plus an African elder vampire who turned into a monstrous bat-like creature. And a Tsimisce. And a hundred other boss fights, each of them unique and thrilling in its own way.
So? If you think most of those
unique and thrilling boss fights were really unique and thrilling you need to play more games. Also, by cameo i meant things alien to the basic setting of Vampire, to which the Nagloper belongs no less than the eastern kindred, as using them counts as crossover by World of Darkness standards. Also, Tzimisce as a unique boss fights? They are a dime a dozen, man, being one of the
basic sabbat clans. The hengeyokai and the werewolf both do count as a crossoversih cameo and are both kind of stupid in the general plot, the others don't count as one to begin with since they belong to the particular sub-setting.
