I guess they’re hoping no one buying 2 has played the original or has much familiarity with the source material. Not the worst move from a marketing standpoint, but not really inspiring confidence for me since VtMB is probably one of my favourite linear/sandbox RPGs purely because of the atmosphere and dialog.
No, the combat in VtMB wasn’t very good, but that doesn’t mean the sequel has to be an ARPG. I really hope this is just one person’s opinion and it’s not that bad. Also, Phyre is a cringe name that hasn’t grown on me at all, so that sucks considering she apparently fucking says it constantly.
I’m no fan of the public sector unions (especially PSAC), but bailing corporations out only for them to cost the economy millions of dollars per day due to necessary job action ain’t it, either. A lot of these employers have let their collective agreements expire, sometimes years ago, because they know they can get the government to force their employees back to work.
If they’re that important to the economy and they’ve proven they can’t handle the intricacies of doing business without a government handout to keep them profitable (check and check), they should be nationalized. Pie in the sky for a second: maybe the revenue from a nationalized Air Canada would mean lower federal taxes or something.
If we don’t try, this will just happen again.
