History YMMV / VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines

* CultClassic
** Why is CultClassic still in the YMMV after all that had happened with this game lately is a big surprise to this trooper.
*** Because [[VocalMinority the people who think it's a "classic" in any definition of the term]] intentionally [[FanMyopia forget that everyone else saw it as a buggy game that, because of said bugs and delays, completely and utterly flopped]].
*** What "everyone else"? Everyone is playing the game, including internet celebrities, years after the game was ignored due to being buggy as hell. Now, with the patches and the popularity, it just seems that every argument against this game that you pointed out in your edit is a fallacy. Don’t put words in other people’s mouths.

** There are two major unofficial patches, and they serve different purposes. They generated some heated debate about their various merits and originality. These patches provoked a lot of FanDumb, including flame wars, a war on TheOtherWiki, and some people taking their balls and going home. Heck, this edit will probably be removed pretty quickly.

** The Thaumaturgy Discipline "Blood Purge" from the Tremere affect almost all enemies, including most bosses. It costs only two points of blood to use and leaves them puking blood while you can whale on them with your melee weapon or firearms. And, once they recover, you can just activate it again and leave them puking again to repeat the process.

* TooDumbToLive: None of the factions can really match the utter foolishness of the Society of Leopold. Not only do their 'field agents' dress like your typical cliche WoD character ( Literally a trenchcoat and a katana), making them stand out like sore thumbs, their base is littered with ammocrates not seen in any other base (not even the sabbat) ripe for anyone to shoot everybody to hogh heaven. The actions of the hunters are also so stupid, it gets lampshaded. But the best example of their foolishness has to be their laser trip-wires, while one might expect the lasers to simply warn the hunters, instead, they are explosive rigged. And why would people fighting against vampires allow their own laser tripwires to be easily toggled between being triggered by vampires (room temperature) and humans (body temperature)? Of course, it could just be LawOfConservationOfDetail and the player character actually does something more complicated to change the settings than pick one in a menu.

*** That's going into "the quality of the game is based on the graphics" territory. Just sayin'

*** He's the single most powerful on the planet, besides the travelling issue, he could also very easily possess someone from halfways across the world and maintain it for long periods of time.

--->"The dead cannot live, but they can survive. Understand?"

*** Actually Brother Kanker pretty much believes in Vick's phylosophy, it's just Jezebel who seems to be doing it for kicks.

This Troper had a blast letting hunters run into their own wires and explode.

** Even the other male Nosferatu don't look horrible, with a hood they could easily live in LA. The male PC Nosferatu is arguably the ugliest of them. However, the FEMALE Nosferatu (PC or NPC) are utter NightmareFuel.

** Your first target in the bounty hunter sidequest chain, Simon Gimble, is a psycopathic MadDoctor who abducts and murders innocent men, women and children, then hacks their limbs up in order to fufil his deranged amputation fetish.
