I simply prefer better graphics (because they're better), and I never play "myself" in a game. Why play myself when I could be somebody else? That's why I play games.
Also, any RPG worth its salt has character customization, so that point is moot. If you want to play yourself in a story-driven third-person game, I think you misunderstand what "story-driven" entails.
Also, where do you get off proclaiming that old graphics are inherently better than new ones, give us ONE (flawed) POINT to your argument, then accuse US of being shallow?

VtMB is a good game. If graphics are your concern they aren't bad. Gameplay wise you may hear some people tell you guns feel clunky, but I never had that problem due to being a proper vampire and tearing things apart with my hands (or just making one of them kill the others then drop dead, or make them think I disappear then assassinate them). There are still some bugs, and if you run the widescreen patch it creates a few visual bugs, but the experience is still great. Also it has a mission fairly early on that even without being a horror game is better at it than games that are actually supposed to be horror.Gabanuka said:This seems relevant and I dont really feel like starting a new thread for it:
Does Vampire the masquerade: Bloodlines hold up both graphicly and gameplay wise? I'm thinking about buyying it since I cant to go around being a vampire and what not.
Yes! Remember kids, losing is fun! Haha but seriously, it can be intimidating to try and get the hang of, but Dwarf Fortress is certainly the kind of thing half the people in this thread seem to want.accipitre said:snip
Is taking a charisma route viable then? Also where can I find these patches?Xangba said:snip
I actually have a persuader/seducer character (among others of course), and it works well. Doesn't even have much combat training due to being able to make everyone think I'm gone, then slitting their throat from behind. Boss battles are kind of a ***** that way though, so plan ahead. You can't talk your way out of everything.Gabanuka said:Is taking a charisma route viable then? Also where can I find these patches?Xangba said:snip
Correction, they will just find it bad because they are not looking at it through nostalgia goggles.Quaidis said:If I hand a kid today a game from forever ago, they get confused, can't think themselves into the game, and put it down for something more shiney and pretty.
Well, HR was not nearly as expansive as the first one, now was it.Dr. McD said:Don't you mean MORE expensive.Lugbzurg said:Games are becoming shorter and LESS expansive, mostly due to more attention to the graphics. (This has been brought up in cases involving certain games like Deus Ex: Human Revolution..
