EARLY* VIDEO: VTMB2 is a Mess that can't be Fixed (Patreon)

Jeez, talk about last minute, I hope it's worth the wait.

I gave Paradox, Hardsuit Labs, White Wolf, and The Chinese Room all the time they could possibly need to get Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 in the best state it can be in after six years since being announced and almost another year on top of that for them to patch and fix things through the DLCs. Let's see just how much the silly adventures of John/Jane Nomad can make me crave the sweet oblivion of Gehenna.
