If Bloodlines 2's mixed reviews are putting you off, here's where you can get a sweet launch discount

It might be rough and showing its age by now, but Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is one of the best RPGs on vibes alone. The 2004 classic oozes atmosphere, with a story that's so good it almost makes you forget about its numerous game-breaking bugs. While Bloodlines 2 doesn't capture that same magic, it's still a decent Vampire: The Masquerade experience, but if the mixed Steam reviews are putting you off and you'd rather wait to grab it at a discount, I have good news for you.

One of Bloodlines 2's biggest issues has a workaround, so hopefully my headaches will stop

If there's one thing I immediately turn off in videogames, it's motion blur. As someone who gets headaches far too regularly, the melding of colours immediately begins to mess with my head, so while I like the fast-paced feel it adds, I'm very quick to yeet it into the sun. That, however, isn't an option in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2, which, given the speed at which my Toreador moves, doesn't help me fend off the migraines. It's a feature that a lot of players have been asking for in the past 24 hours, and while The Chinese Room has offered a workaround, there's no immediate fix.
