How many times did you play it? After all, a short length can be supplemented by replayability.
Let me put it this way: I played and finished the game with every single clan, with the exception of Brujah (which I did play but didn\'t finish the game with). In fact, I even played as a tremere multiple time. And I still enjoyed it^^ So yes, i agree it can be supplemented with replayability. But the thing is, when I was done with the game, I felt like part of the story was missing; I kinda wanted the game to further, show us what happens to your character after that, how the city evolved. I also kinda wanted to see more of some of the characters. And obviously, I was kinda sad that I couldn\'t keep playing with my character since the game was over... basically the game left me wanting more. I guess it\'s not that bad, since it eventually caused me to start playing the actual tabletop game^^

A really good game, but I wish it had been longer
I have heard about this game after watching a review of it on Atop the Fourth Wall, and since playing a blood-sucking creature of the night has always been something appealing to me, it wasn't long before I found a way to get the game. Now I have played it, finished, and frankly, I am glad I did. This is definitely one of my favourite RPGs, along with Dragon Age and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines is a great game, and got me really interested in the World of Darkness. The various vampire clans you can play are all distinct and original, and can genuinely change the way you have to play, rather than just being cosmetic. The characters are fun and memorable, and some of them are really well-developped (the Voerman sisters deserving a special mention). The game is dark yet funny, finding a good balance between horror and humor. And while I can understand some players being frustrated by the final parts being mostly fight, I personally did enjoy fighting through armies of enemies.
I do, however, have some complain. Mainly about how long the game is.
I heard the game was released unfinished, and it kinda shows. While I did install the unofficial patch to correct most of the flaws, and I really did enjoy playing, in the end I felt like it ended too fast, and unlike Skyrim, there is no Playable Epilogue. This left me kinda underwhelmed, feeling like I was missing part of the game. Frankly, I am sad Troika had to close, because I really would have liked an extension, or at least a sequel.
Regardless, it's still a really good game, and I highly recommand it to any vampire fan.
