Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

The ocean manor mission...
Well I just finished it in less than half an hour for the first run, it's not even spooky at all, at least not as some of you talked about...(before starting this mission I was kinda hesitant cuz I remember that someone of you even asked about how to skip that mission. - -!)


Btw I was super suprised that the background music when you finally picking up that pendant is Pilots by Goldfrapp, just as I found out that the menu bgm is Angel by Massive Attack for the first time...I guess the developers are quite into trip-hop music...

It's definately one of the spookier experiences I've had in gaming. Many of the missions I found in this game were able to set up a creepy atmosphere that not many other games have acheived. The gimble mission being one of them, I must say the feeling of being in a creepy, chop shop dungeon was quite unique.
It is spooky because of the tense atmosphere. In your case, you kinda had it ruined for you because you went into it already with expectations and the spooky bar had been set very high for you. Therefore, you found it underwhelming. But believe me, the first time doing that level 'blind' was very scary for me.

That mission was how i first found the game. It's nowhere near as good coming back to it, but the first time was amazing.

I'd never seen anything like it. Now we've got Amnesia and Penumbra, so the experience is pretty dated. Still a great mission though, and remember it's over 10 years old now.

Was curious what that music at the end was though. Knew there was a reason it reminded me of Monkey Dust.

The Gimble mission wasn't very scary to me since I'd already sensed there must be something happened in his basement, also I think today's gamers are way too familiar with this kind of plot, that kinky dude killing people underground while disguise himself as a medical professional.

It makes sense, though I would say that even back to 2004 the Ravenholm level in Half-life 2 may scares me alittle more when doing it "blind" lol...

I totally agree, no matter how for an rpg this is also a quite refeshing experience for me.

I agree the others- in my opinion it was the most eerie part of the game when I first stumbled upon it. I think it's also because the rest of the game isn't scary- there are creepy parts implied, but nothing to make you jump. The Ocean Manor made me jump when I first played it YEARS ago, and when I replayed it as a different character I remember dreading it. However, since then, many more games with a creepier atmosphere have come out- therefore making a new player more likely to be underwhelmed. Still enjoyable though!

That's it, I found sometimes even the littlest scary memory in my childhood will make me like can't help but shivering once they have been recalled, though I found no reasons to do so in today lol.
It was the only part of the game that made me feel tense.
It isnt that ghost's are scary(please how many games allow ghost of the dead to accauly hurt you)
But the question: how long must i endure her creepy voice and anoying lightshow before i can leave this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ place.
I was more tense from frustration then fear.

Lol I felt the same. I actually kinda enjoy the atmosphere of this game, the music (like most dark-ambient music)..also I like the setting of being as a vampire, and vampires are meant to be in darkness lol :D
