Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades vs Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines
Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades
Dark Souls III: The Fire Fades is possibly the last in the game series and it only seemed right for it to return to its roots with lots of throwbacks to the original game that had made the franchise famous. Dark Souls 3 has a gameplay that many would say is quite similar to the first game thought the developers do attempt to spice it up with a Poise mechanism which frankly kinda fell short. The game also gave the dungeon crawling genre a nod by providing the most in-depth and impressive character customization system where you literally can design whichever build you like.Of course, there are still the usual stuff like fun quests, a compelling storyline and a well-made co-op mode. However, some players have given the developers some hell for the insane amount of latency they are experiencing in the game's multiplayer PvP.
Despite some of its flaws, Dark Souls 3 is still a great game to end a brilliant game series. Fans of the franchise should definitely get this game. Newcomers on the other hand should get the first two games before getting this one.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines offers a pretty unique, story-driven, first-person action RPG, partly because it features the exciting theme of vampires - who doesn't love them? - that is set in modern-day Los Angeles; and partly because you get to play as a vampire who has an incredible range of vampiric abilities and special weapons yourself! The cast of characters in this game is pretty amazing and well-fleshed out too.Not many players would know about this but Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is actually based on White Wolf's popular Vampire: The Masquerade pen-and-paper RPG series. So, although this game might be old, you can still be sure to have an amazing time due to the rich and immersive storyline that it is sure to have!
However, if you do plan on getting the game, be sure to grab the unofficial patch and maybe some mods to fix some of the more glaring issues, along with the rather aging graphics, just so you'd have an even better time playing the game.
