A look back at Troika Game's final title: the cult classic rpg Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines. A game full of good looking goth girls, succulent sewer rats and general depravity, but most important of all... good rpg design.
This Dark Souls game is pretty good I guess. Shame about the severs... and the poor remaster... and the bad original pc port... and the severs.

For game details (and text in the bottom left):
- Text should refer to the version of a game being mentioned in the video. If the version shown isn't obvious it should be indicated in brackets but usually what's shown should correlate to what I'm saying (the arcade version is used in arcade sections, console is console sections etc.).
- The date refers to the first release (often Japanese) of that version of the game. For console games this means the console release, not any earlier arcade release date.
- The name of the developer is used rather than publisher, but in-house first party studios are usually shortened/simplified. For example Nintendo R&D1 is listed as just Nintendo, Square Enix Business Division 2 would be listed as Square Enix. Etc.
- Footage from remasters and remakes was (mostly) avoided but lots of what's shown is original games emulated at a higher resolution than the original console. This makes some games look better than they really were, but older games also benefited greatly from being shown on CRT displays so I think this sort of balances out. Regardless, I tried to strike a balance between authenticity and visual quality but don't take what you see as absolute gospel.
- I'm sure there are typos somewhere but it is what it is. Typos aren't so bad, they just remind you this was made by a human. A rather tired human.
