"Ooh a crafting table. Make a tesla coil and a jetpack."
I like you priorities, Andy.
Jane says to use the "vampire nitrous" to get across the water. Don't you mean . . . NOS-feratu, Jane?
i applaud you whole heartedly.
Damn-Stoker sun that's one good pun had me (un)dead
Lol
Luckily for the vampire doctor he happens to be a vampire doctor in a time where people thought letting blood had medical benefit. "I prescribe... more bleeding!".
Shannon Olivas except his claim to fame is blood transfusion, not bloodletting...
Well now he doesn't need tools to transfuse blood... as long as he's putting it in himself.
no ig was the time period of 1917-1921 not literally anytime before, shtoopud
@@A_328FL woah woah woah, there's no need for name calling my good man.

When I wake up stumbling around like that I need a good Bloody Mary too.
Damn
Wait, so "I can feel your fear, madam" isn't an effective pick up line? Well, that does explain a lot...
That Dr. Acula joke wasn´t sufficiently appreciated
Iván Rangel I don't think the Scrubs got it.
I wonder how many times that particular joke was heard during development.
Agreed
WHOA. I feel it is very necessary to draw notice to Andy’s very clever use of the word “sanguine”. I noticed and applauded your clever word play.
Why do I feel like Mike is gonna be that one Vampire that constantly goes into the sunlight to do something stupid, like eating a tomato or something.
I'd love a film about a newly turned vampire who is constantly questioning what he can and can't do because of superstitions. Like he's having a chat with someone but stops dead in his tracks because they've just reached a bridge over running water and he doesn't know what to do
Bailey Alexis Snow or maybe because the company behind it is French which uses vampyre, and they simply dropped the e because yr is a common ending for the word vampire in most languages.
hmm, i guess technically he should have feared that holy symbol
Have a look at "What we do in the shadows" it's a mockumentary about some old vampires and a new one in today times. The new vampire struggles to adept to the vampire life. It's quite fun
and don't forget he also chose to change the i in vampire to a y, cause it looked more sophisticated
Bailey Alexis Snow The film 'Interview With The Vampire' based on the Anne Rice novel is almost exactly what you describe and is often heralded as one of the best vampire films to date.
Probably worth a watch, I'm a big gothic horror fan and love anything vampires, it's the best I've seen that truly captures the struggle of a newly made vampire.
It took a whole 35 seconds for Andy to reference “Vampire Masquerade”. I’m disappointed in you Andy.
Beth Bloomer it was actually like 5 seconds since the 30 seconds before that was footage from later
I thought this was the sequel lol. Guess not yet
It's clearly heavily influenced by Vampire the Masquerade rpg already, considering it seems to have different clan types of vampires, powers like boiling your victim's blood, and aggravated damage (which is the same gameplay term used by the White Wolf game).
Surely Andy sees the irony in his bearded barista bants. He seems pretty self-aware. ...Unless his reflection doesn’t show up in a mirror so he can’t see that he’s...
Oh My God! Andy’s a vampire!
I thought the same thing when he said beard hair combo. Except the vampire part.
nah dats a fictional falsehood
Andy...that "hipster barista" haircut and beard style is yours
Realitea Ohansi Andy's style is less hipster barista and more nostalgic former goth
Lacon Herland i always thought his hair was more post-colonial?
daafaev15 I guess Andy's hair is a lot of things to a lot of people
I'm loving that a videogame about vampires spawned a debate about Andy's hair...
lol
"I want to play more of this, this was fun" - Andy
*(never to be played or spoken of again)* 😂
Maybe only the second one, they probably have played lots of games that they haven’t shown us.
I love how Andy's first thoughts after becoming a vampire would be to wear some sweet clothes. I wonder if he already has some clothes ready, in case it happens.
Are you saying that you don't?
[about vampire guy covered in blood]
"He seems remarkably... sanguine"
Ahh Andy, that brand of high-brow etymological comedy would have killed in the Victorian era! Truly you were born too late :(
That, and "lol, my dudes"
Ironically, when Mike mentions boiling people's blood, it's not Jane, but Andy who replies, "Oh that sounds AMAZING!"
Kathy Aird her work seems to be done. The corruption has spread
That's because Jane is working on conditioning both of them into her willing minions.
she's a vampire
We lost Ellen long ago. Now Luke is our only hope.
Ravenite I, for one, welcome Jane as our vampiric overlord
Loved Jane's Scrubs nod to JD's script for Dr. Acula
It seems like every piece of vampire lore should just end with the word. "Sometimes"
Yeah, when some can change into bats, some can't handle sunlight, and some can't handle garlic.
You have to let a human bite you to turn them into a vampire? I wonder what that tastes like for them, probably really irony!...
Is this thing on?..
Andy Mcp ba dump tss
Nice.
Wow just wow
Honestly that hurts my brain
*giggle* good one :D
Daaaaaaamn, video games already have a problem with male protagonists always having dead female relatives and/or significant others but this game just went straight into it and had you murder your sister personally within the first five minutes. I'm both aggravated and impressed with this efficiency.
Nobbie It would have been even more efficient if he’d have proceeded to literally stick her in a fridge 😉
Beth Bloomer I feel awful for laughing at your comment just take my like
I don't remember a dead female relative/significant other in Red Dead Redemption. And look how that turned out
No, but Abigail Marston was abducted before the beginning of the game. And Jack does by 1914, of course, have a dead relative. Or three.
If I remember correctly I thought John mentioned having a daughter too.
The wording of Jane "Go through his drawers while he's looking" lol
... You guys should do a full LP of Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. You love to talk about it, and it's been awhile since you finished up the Red Dead one.
I miss Vampire the Masquerade. I was hoping this game was going to be in the same spirit. But they focus so much on their crappy combat that it ruined it for me. Awkward combat with a bland world to explore, no thanks.
That's a good idea
Eve Cleroux They clearly love the game, and they were talking about doing another full LP of something. It just fits so well.
Vtm:Bloodlines, in my humble opinion...is a CLASSIC!
It must suck to be the hero in this game
bilbo_t_ baggins *Andy voice* boooooo!
Andy's Voice: Jane, no
Wasn't 1918 more Edwardian era than Victorian? Is there anyone on the team with a keen interest in history who could advise?
Yep, definitely not Victorian - It’s generally referred to as “interwar Britain”. Andy definitely loses a history point for that one! 🙈
Yeah, I knew Andy should have known, was sort of my point lol :P I did think at first maybe I'd just heard wrong about when the game was set, but then I realised they'd literally put it in the description lol
I mean, the description for the video comes after the video is made. He still may not have known when it was actually set at the time of recording. Or the most obvious answer, he was too busy wanting to be a sexy vampire.
No, no, no! Kids didn’t collect bodies and throw them in the river. That would have been wasteful. Instead, they would collect them and take them back to the shop to get their recycling deposit back. If you took two corpses back, you’d get enough for a packet of polo mints... or something. I don’t remember exactly as I didn’t really pay attention to history in school.
Or, if they're feeling a little peckish, take them to a Pie Shop.
Did you guys know the guys who made Vampire: The Masquerade *Bloodlines*
Are making another game based on the The Old World of Darkness Tabletop RPG Series.
Werewolf: The Apocalypse.
... You have my attention
You're doing God's work
Turns out he could do the mist thing before he was a vampire that's why he's used to it. lol
Convenient!
Jane: "My eyes are up here".
Two minutes and I'm already nominating best call of the video.
I'm surprised Jane didn't ask for a closer look of the victim's face when biting them...
Ah memories
Side note. The old staff of White Wolf are now mostly in the company of Onyx Path. The name White Wolf and the licenses to World of Darkness have passed through a number of hands. Onyx Path is still making Chronicles of Darkness (NWoD) but only under allowance by the new White Wolf.
"He seems remarkably sanguine" - Andy had prepared for this pun in advance and been waiting for an opportunity to deploy it.
Whenever I see this game all I can think of is that line from Carpe Jugulum after a paragraph about how uncooperative vampires are: ‘Vampyres are just the same, the only real difference is that they can’t spell properly.’
Yes you can bite people, but is it a true vampire game if you can't seduce your prey with a sexy dance Masquerade style?
Max Littlewood Is it a true vampire game if I can't charisma check a giant samurai gargoyle or bring a prostitute to a zombie hunter like in VTMB
Lacon Herland Exactly these questions need answers
Or a sexy, erotic
dance for your friends like What We Do In The Shadows?
Can see the vampire going: "I'm going to drink you dry!"
Then I'll respond "I'm afraid not"... Then proceed to throw a frayed knot on the ground as a distraction
"Considering the only person we've met has been my sister, I'm glad I haven't done any romancing" "Yeah, but what about the corpse pile?" You heard it here, folks... Necrophilia is better than hitting on your family before you eat them.
Omg I spit out my tea laughing at this😂😂
Andy knows he's sporting the same 'Hipster barista' haircut and beard combo, right?
I mean, it looks great and everything, it's just the way he said it.
Fun fact: the word Vampyr is not actually misspelled if you're speaking in the Medieval Southeastern Romanian language. It's debatable where the word "Vampire" and "Vampiric" first came into use, but the when is not so mysterious. For more information please read The World of Lore Monstrous Creatures, the first section of the book is entirely on the undead and the first two chapters on Vampires. It's also an amazing book by an amazing author. And oh man I cannot wait to play this game!!!!
Ally Fazio and there was me thinking it was an attempt at sounding edgy and cool. The more you know, thanks!
Vampire is the normal spelling? Where I live everyone says Vampyre.
That was a fun fact
That isn't a fun fact, everyone knows that. They were being sarcastic.
CoffeePoweredAuthor "everyone knows that" seems like a bit of a stretch
I know it's silly, but I grinned gleefully each time you made a Vampire: The Masquerade reference. :D
Is it just me who thinks Andy looks like the main character wait, is Andy a vampire
Well Jane, of course Vampyr is cooler than vampire, it is the Scandinavian way of spelling it. I think we can all agree, that a viking vampyr is much cooler than a posh vampire.
Søren Hougaard Rasmussen A "Viking vampire" would be a Draugr or a Haugbui.
Still cooler than a posh vampire.
Søren Hougaard Rasmussen Not disagreeing, just providing context :-)
Søren Hougaard Rasmussen it is in fact the Romanian way of spelling it, not Scandinavian...
Yeah, I know. Just made a joke.
Funnily enough, one of the problems the police faced in trying to figure out who Jack the Ripper was was the amount of butchers and fishermen and so on who would be walking around covered in blood with a bunch of knives on them, so someone saying that they saw a man covered in blood would be basically worthless.
They should make a werewolf game
Lucas Caetano they'd call it Werewœlf probably.
But their combat engines have been SOOOO bad in every game they do, why the hell would we want an even more combat-centric game that focuses on melee. You know every hit would lack that "weight" feeling behind it, leaving you wanting and unimpressed.
And win over others by using cute doggy eyes. ;)
I love Andy's idea of slamming the barkeep's head into the bell while questioning him.
"I'm definitely the best looking corpse in this plague pit" - me @8AM on the tube every morning *badum-tsss*
Please play more
What an odd family dynamic. Last time I saw my sister after climbing out of a corpse pile, she drove me to the airport and I didn't give her a deadly bite.
Yeah, but is there a giant shark man that kills me because I'm a toreador that put all his points into seduction? Vampire the Masquerade bloodlines reigns supreme.
Lacon Herland Ventrue for life
+Vincent Rather You have a funny way of spelling Malkavian.
SaitosaBard those are the crazy ones right? It’s so hard to tell the difference when your scraping what’s left of them off your feet.
Man, Elder Maxson has come a long way from the brotherhood of steel
Please please please do a full Let's Play of this! As someone who can't afford nice things, I want to see all the cool vampire shenanigans vicariously, damnit!
32:09: "It's been a hard day's bite, and I've been sleeping in a coffin"
Geralt would ghost you fast.
Fun fact. In most cases (Like 95% or so) doctors don't take the Hippocratic oath. But they do take legal oaths of practice.
This is one of the best outside Xbox letsplayvideo I've seen in a while
I have gotten a new pick up line, ''I am the best looking corpse in this plague pit''. :D
Waking up in the corpse pile reminded me of Kingdoms of Amalur. Maybe Orca is a vampire too?
As a real life vampire, the worst weakness is Garlic, the sun is easy to avoid, between clothing options, sunscreen, keeping curtains closed, and wearing sunglasses. Crosses don't really do anything, that is just silly. But garlic... do you know how many foods, meals and restaurants have garlic in them? Or onions, onions are also deadly... ugh... and most none meats are kinda bad, some worse than others. But garlic and onions are in everything nowadays, and they can kill me. ;~;
Also sharp teeth are a bit of a worry, constantly chipping them as a child and the constant cuts and sores from cutting the inside of my mouth is horrible, so that is kinda a bad weakness.
In the modern era though we can get injections, a few years ago I would have had to have a blood transfusion once a week, but nowadays I can get an injection every 3 months instead.
Also Vampires aren't even infectious, that is a lie!
Hmm, hearing is also a weakness in a way... super sensitive hearing is horrible in such a noisy world, like the migraines the difficulty concentrating, it is all horrific, I literally find myself wishing I was deaf at times because it is horrendous, just so much noise, leaves me crying in agony more than I wish recollect. Also heat... the sun and bright light is kinda annoying... but heat is much harder to escape, air conditioning is rare in britain, but any temp above 15℃ is like the flaming pits of hell. Like aghhhhh. Why?!
Being a vampire has a few advantages though, like cold resistance, strength, endurance, being able to see in very low light, being able to hear really well, fast healing.
(I legitimately have a number of heath complications that basically make me a vampire as described above. Probably people like me that inspired the various myths in the first place. But yes garlic and onions are the most inconvenient weakness of the modern "vampire")
Jane's vampire power is telling Mike (lovingly) what to do
Ah, the ol Kingdoms of Amalur start. Welcome to the corpse pile!
Aww Mike, you'd be the best looking corpse in any plague pit 😄
The whole "no reflection" bit is due to the fact that mirrors originally used to be backed by silver, which is why Vampires would not see a reflection in one. Any mirror without silver in it (most modern ones, for example), would show a vampire's reflection, no problem. Not that I'm speaking from experience...
Medical oath: "I shall not kill"
not even 5 minutes after coming back to life and killed 4 people, and only one of them was necessary.
Doubt anyone will see this but I've been subscribed to Oxbox for 5 years and I watched every video up until this year... Been so busy between work, uni and other commitments I just haven't watched any new videos until this one. Hearing the voices of Jane, Mike and Andy feels like coming home :')
Mike : "I will end him" rightly. Wait, that's different Channel
"I have so much left to accomplish" doesn't really seem fitting as last words go. Something like "Bloody hell..." or "Sod this!" seems a lot more appropriate for the situation -.-
SirMethos Famous last words:
"Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii..."
_splat_
I love how much the gang knows about Vampire The Masquerade, it'd be cool if they ran a special VtM D&D session.
Wolfencreek I believe there's a tabletop... If not, Worlds of Darkness could work
David Stepanek yep theres an old tabletop system and supposedly an anniversary edition on the way at some point. Critical Role did a fun little 2 parter in it for Halloween last year.
This made me think of a Powerwolf song called All We Need Is Blood.
Judging by that hair and beard combo? Andy it's called deference and it's okay we understand if you wanna be a hipster barista. We love and support your dreams.
Straight up andy just roasted (eheh) himself with that hipster barista joke
I like how Andy called them a Pridwin gunner. This isn't Fallout 4
Haven't even played this yet but I had a feeling they'd end the video when they got the fancy suit.
Great video guys. Any chance of a full play through?
According to your description the game is set in 1918, and Victoria died in 1901.
Thé Saxe-Coburg changed their name to Windsor in 1917.
Me and the guy I’m watching this with are getting ticks from you calling it Victorian London.
Dr Reif, Dr. Acula, wow never realized how much I missed scrubs
This game looks like the Vampire: The Masquerade game I've been hoping for, or at least the closest thing to it. I have hoped for so long for a new vampventure.
Would a vampire leave fingerprints? If their skin doesn’t produce the same oils as a regular living person’s, then it would probably require some other kind of medium (ink, grease, or dare I say blood) in order to make the impression to stick to an object. I never considered forensic study in regards to vampiric physiology, but I would definitely go back to college for THAT course!
Not going to lie, I was interested in this game before, but watching this has made me all but decide for certain that I'm getting it when I head into town later today.....
This truly is the dark souls of vampyr games
It's got to be a celebrity vampire...
Tom Cruise? He never ages...
I want a full series of this.
Vampyr looks so good! Please do more!
Jane in vampire lore you have to drink the blood of a vampire, then you die and are reborn as a vampire. The only creature you become when bitten is a werewolf.
Jane didn't do her vampire game let's play trademark of demanding the camera be postioned to see the victims face while the bitening is happening.
That coat at the end looks exactly like one of Jacob Frye's coats in Assassin's Creed Syndicate
I know the extent of Vampiric powers and attributes are pretty fluid throughout popular culture but even the obviously Dracula influenced ones are still burned by sunlight when Dracula goes out in broad daylight on several occasions.
A quest for clean clothes should be the tag line for this chapter
I'm giving all those blood type jokes an A+
I'm staying up so I can play this game asap and now I get a video about it from my favorite channel on all of CZcams. Andy and Jane the Best # fight me.
Mike is great too
I was always hoping for more vampyr
This genuinely looks awesome! Didn't seem that interesting, but seeing the story and gameplay, I may get this myself...!
We want more of this
Been excited for this game hopefully it holds up
He only thought he was being psychologically tormented... Then he looked down and saw his shoe laces all tied up and he looses his mind with the stress.
Really making me miss VtM:R :)
It's not WW, but has a lot of similarities. I laughed for a bit when it said "Aggravated damage" (a staple of all World of Darkness games)
Simple but fairly deep ability trees, seemingly intuitive combat, investigations and a bit of crafting.
It seems like I might enjoy this game.
Just my opinion, I thought the opposite. Boring ability trees, awkward combat/camera, crafting looks more like a chore that's not needed, and the world looks bland and uninteresting. I'll wait for a bundle of sale. You know Steam will have it with some Gothic bundle in 3 months.
John Snow That's fair, I don't know if I'll like it but based on my preferences it looks pretty likely, but to each their own.
Quite fitting that I should watch this at 1am. And no I wasn't waiting for you to upload.. Okay maaaybe I was...
I really hope this vampyre game has a cocktail recipee hidden somewhere. I love the cocktail videos oxbox does. Everybody search the pubs as soon as you start playing lol
“Tell me, who are you?”
Turns out Hadvar is in this.
If the people start complaining about your dictatorship, eat them.
Caitlin RC Seems legit 😅
Or if you’re in Oxboxford, abolish their houses. Either works!
I'm watching this on my PS4 so that notification at the beginning really confused me for a second. XD
