is truly a 6/10 souls slop ?
>>

the ananta of souls slop

>>722301092
It's 10/10 because I can play as handsome chuuni OC with big titty Ayanami expy vampire girlfriend.
>>

Linear
Cel shaded
Anime
Dark Souls
With Walking Segment flashbacks
>>
>>722301092
id give it a 7.5

also its just wearing a souls disguise. actually playing it like a souls game(hit, roll, hit, hit, roll) is very miserable. in the same way that playing nioh like souls will make you hate the game.
>>
>>722301092
all I remember of it is seeing a guide on how to make chloe from fate in the character creator
>>
>>722301092
Its a 7/10, not 6. Game is both way better and way worse then a souls game all at once.
>>
>>722301092
The only good part of this game is character creation. The gameplay is the same hit and quack style, where you play like a damn chicken instead of an actual combatant
>>
>>722303167
chickens dont quack
>>
The different classes felt very distinct, and you won't even regret using them because you can bring some of their stuff to other builds.
Its literally Dark Souls with guns.
Like the other guy said, it is simultaneously much better and shittier than Dark Souls
Its awesome
>>
It's budget as fuck, reworked god knows how many times budget Dark Souls
There's fun to be had in it, but goddamn is it made out of duct tape and styrofoam
>>
>>722301464
The walking segment flashback parts are so fucking bad.

yes.
and this is me talking as a fag who 100% this game twice (once on pc and ps4)
I will admit i bought these games because of Io's tits years ago
The blood code system and character customization are good, but everything else is 'okay' at best
Game is basically hinges on horny purchases.
You notice how fags were getting excited when they revealed the giant vamp mommy and chocolate milk in the last trailer/update? that's how they are going to makes sales again
>>
>>722301092
Maybe a 7, there's a lot of jank and the way lore was dumped on you was the slowest way possible. They could've done them as cutscenes like the pre-boss/after-boss animations, but nope you crawl through a ugly dark dead hallway basically.
Also some of the midboss arenas are so tiny, the enemy basically slams you into a corner instantly
>>
>>722304882
>>722305106
It's funny to me how this was copied by another soulslike last year, except you can run and fall to your death so you had to redo the level from your very faraway bonfire
>>
So what do we want from the sequel besides more anime titties? Personally if we're still vampires i want to finally see us drink blood, instead fading to black
>>
>>722308325
>if we're still vampires
Everyone but the main character is a vampire this time, lol

Builds are kinda fun
Dungeons and level design suck
Enemy design is passable
Bosses are enemies too
Story is present
The game looks bad
Music is pretty meh
Sorry. It’s a 6/10 yeah.

Lmao this game wishes it was a 6/10. Honestly it's a 3/10.

it is indeed painfully mediocre
at the very least Io is precious

Gonna buy 2 before the superior Soulsclone comes out?

Dumb anime vampires killing retarded zombies in a geographically accurate representation of Detroit.

Is fun.

Yes, anon, it's worth the fucking $5 it is right now. Easily.
>>
>>722301092
The worst parts to me are the floatiness and kinda lame animations. 2 looks like it has better animations, it still has a little bit of that ice skating feel from the look of it though. I hope there's more feedback when enemies get hit.

It sucks if you play it like dark souls but if you engage with the mechanics a bit and spam magic skills it's a lot of fun
>>
>>722301092
Yes. Bamco reuses animations directly from souls without any of the weight the animations deserve.

As someone who hasn't played any of the Dark Souls games, I enjoyed it enough to finish it. Pretty fun overall.
>>
>>722308779
I remember there's a poledancing big tits boss
and I think the Ornstein of this game is female
>>
it was good anime fun
The DLC was so phoned-in it sucked...they couldn't even wear Alt Outfits in the home base, only in combat zones. Also you had to clear challenges to unlock those Alt Outfits something which I found soulful but i bet a lot of people would've preferred to just have the outfits they paid for without having to jump through the hoops to earn them. Io's Alt Outfit in particular for all those homos who complained about her boobs...Alt Io got a proper dress
>>
>>722301092
It's a 9/10 dragged down to 8/10 by Anime Londo
You might be disappointed by character creation though, lots of accessory options but only few clothing options

Are you retarded? Magic is called gifts in code vein.

its 10/10 because it's the only souls clone i play and it's fun
>>
>>722301092
4/10, its "we have soulslike at home" but anime
Pros: anime tiddies, super detailed character creator, ridiculously huge swords, sliding down ladders looks cool
Cons: Very flawed gameplay, lots of cringe and foreseeable plot, lots of "memory" walking sim passages, absolute ass and aged level designs, ugly worlds, feels like they had low/no budget for a lot of things

You can try it if its on sale and you got nothing better to do, but dont expect a good game. Its really forgettable
>>
>>722314631
Not that anon, but I usually play mages or hybrids with a strong leaning on the magic side in Souls games. I haven't played CV yet, can I play a character like that, like a character that primarily relies on magic and maybe has like a sidearm for trash mobs that aren't worth casting something?
>>
>>722317485
Gifts are perfectly viable.

>>722306931
I liked it and played it a couple of times without being hornt from it at all. The music and anime sentimentality works on me though, e.g. saving the little brother of ushanka girl made me feel good.
>>
Too many biggers in this thread
Post the flat mechanic girl

It's fucking trash. I bought this game expecting anime souls and what i got was not a souls experience. The balance of the game is a complete joke, playing solo is way too hard for the wrong reasons, and playing with the AI companion is way too easy because it's way too OP.

The only saving grace of the game are the waifus.
>>
I'd say it's closer to a 3 or 4 than a 6, and that's being generous. The character creator was the best part of the game but even that kind of sucks because you have such limited clothing options and you're forced to wear one of like, 4 mask options during actual gameplay so you have to mod that out.

Not quite the same as souls. I'm pretty sure an enemy legitimately oneshot me from full health near the tutorial boss which is crazy because I remember some dark souls games even at SL1 you only start getting oneshot at like midgame
Once you get kitted out though you can stack buffs and shit all over everything in the game

Not dodge>r1>dodge>r1 gameplay but constant use of abilities. At least that's what I remember
>>
>>722301092
Its decent if you can grab it for 10-20 bucks. No more than that. Theres some nice giant titty monster bosses but the story is Kingdom Hearts-tier despite characters being cybergoth vampires who should act like they're in a Devilman show.
>>
This isn't really a souls-like in the usual sense. If you're expecting Dark Souls 1 but anime, forget it.

Basically, the game is balanced around having an AI partner at all times, and the way you build your character has to do more with weapon/armor/style affinities and skills than pure leveling. Although until midway you can sort of play the game like a normal souls-like, the fun stops once you reach the butterfly boss. Your +4 sword will do basically shit damage to anything, and the gameplay shifts to stacking a ton of buffs before every fight and one-shotting the bosses (or being one-shot back).

About the story, it actually has a pretty nice amount of twists, but at the end of the day it's just very generic.

Anyway, I've played some 40 hours of it. It was somehow enjoyable, but the middle part, specially the cathedral, just drags on and on.

The final boss was great and then the final final boss was dogshit. What was up with that? It was disappointingly easy once you caught on that purple glow = run and screech = go to the edge asap and roll-mist-roll exactly 5 times

I never used the companions for anything. They're basically an opt-out lower difficulty, the bosses and stuff are clearly all designed to be 1v1'd in terms of AI

This shit wishes it was 6/10. I was cautiously optimistic when it released but then tripped over the refund window before I realized it was never going to be better than a mediocre game. Unable to get a refund, I decided to just play through the whole thing (and then an NG+ run for true ending) because I had nothing else to do and hoped it would redeem itself. It didn't.
I can tell you now that Code Vein 2 is going to be a $15 sale only game from what I'm seeing of the game already, just from my experiences with Code Vein 1.

Yeah can't do that because heavy weapons(and really every weapon) have no range, dodge and attack and find yourself not hitting the enemy because he's 1 inch away

Literally the most kino hype button skill I have seen in an RPG game ever. We need more of this shit.
