>Sees you for the first time>Immediately straddles you in her bed and bites your neckWhat is wrong with vampire women?
very disappointed in the outfit selection
How's the crack going?>but it has denuvoI know, I'm just hoping for the best.
No panties? Guess I'll wait for a sale or pirate it
>>731762297A few outfits show them, though they're rather leathery in texture. The shopkeeper also wears a leotard-esque piece of clothing beneath her dress.
What kinds of builds are you guys using?I've been spamming Josee's big katana special attack against everything. Hits absurdly hard.
this gamr flopped and slopped lmao
>>731762110I can play starting tomorrow. How is it so far?
>>731762625I'm levelling the starter blood codes and trying out weapons. Using Halberd+Guardian Heart while dying to Alexis.
>>731762861It's an expanded Code Vein. If you like Code Vein 1, you'll probably like Code Vein 2.
>>731762861Fuckin' abysmal.
>legs kicking to struggle before eventually just accepting your fate
>>731762625where do you get the big katana?
is the bell ghost supposed to be a huge bitch that you have to fight later, or is it like the cat mecha and there's a trick to damaging it?
>>731763023if there is a trick then i havent figured it out yet. they are just very tanky enemies id rather avoid fighting if given the chance
>>731763082>>731763023The lower half is heavily armored, while the upper half takes regular damage. Wait for it to do the bell slamming move to attack if you don't have any ranged options.>>731763017Buy it from Jadwiga after killing the Blind Hero
>>731762951>AlexisI swear, the runeblade guys are the worst miniboss in the game. Almost no room to punish besides their big jump attack.
>>731762625I am just leveling different things and regretting not speccing any particular way
Don't forget to master those Blood Codes, anons
>>731762110Looks worse than the 1st one in every way. Might get it in a couple years when its $5.
I feel bad for Noah. If I go save him, will I disappoint mother?
Do you unlock new outfits as you progress or is it like the first one where every fashion piece is in the CC?
>>731763549Seems to be like the first one. They might add in new outfits with later updates, though.
>>731763543She gets kind of upset for a second then is actually fine with it.
>>731763543She'll be disappointed, but she'll respect your decision.
>>731763586lame
>>731763152Ok I tried again but still can't seem to do any damage. Though I did learn it can attack other enemies if they cross paths. I saw some health bars in the distance getting drained and then some free haze popped up as I approached one.
>>731763786You might just be too low of a level. If you're still on MagMell Island, that thing is going to drain you of all of your regens before it dies. What build are you currently running?
>>731763864No build really, still playing around with weapons trying to find my groove.
>>731762110it really does sound like a nice 6/10 game, but I just can't justify the price and shit performance
>>731763152thank you anon
>>731762110
>>731763919Well, what are you using right now?
>>731763368why is it that my rank C blood Codes get zero progress?
>>731763960Yes anon, we know and are pissed off about it. We're still going to enjoy the game though.
>>731762110Torrent when?
>39 hours leftAt least there's Nioh 3 demo before that. I think.
>>731763986Codes stop progressing based on where you are in the story so you should be switching them to keep leveling them all up
>>731762110>that bulge>womanAre you sure, op?
>>731763986Probably have to progress the story before it starts getting XP again.
>>731763961Bayonet and spells with Lavinia's blood code. Will probably try hammer and Iris next.
>>731764107>>731764134i see, thanks guys.
>>731763986You have to fight harder mobs. Each areas is a different level. For C undead forest is the fastest if your still early in the game

So what's with random bits of gold on everyone.
So in theory to have an optimal damage magic build I'd need a code with super high mind stat and a decently high willpower stat but not too high so I can overburden will for more damage. Well this could be funny
Why everyone neck so long? Are they new race? Long neck race? Or are these just new art style?
>>731762989GIWTWM
>>731765240all the revenants have long necks, its a stylistic choice to make them see a bit more uncanny i assume. revenant hunters and (You) are normally proportioned
How the hell do you get that buff item in sunken city north of Josee's base that is on the big building with the weird cult shrine? You have to go through a mini dungeon to reach the area. I looked around for a ladder or stairs but found nothing.

>>731762625Just using bat with the simple engraved blade with severing abyss, phantom assault, iron will and forestall while I level codes. I got gap closing i-frames, ranged attacks with bat and forestall and I can hit tall weaknesses with severing abyss on a weapon that barely adds to burden so it doesn't matter what code I use. I guess I could switch to a gun or DB but I haven't found the engraved ones for those

I was onboard the first game since it was announced and it was fun, altough cheesy. 2 really catch me that well. the detachment from the first game, open world and some of the design choices have me worried, but I would lie if witnessing a glimpse of the gameplay didnt spark a small itch. lou is so cute too...>70 yurosyeah I dont know about that, being poor and all.

>>731769161when i first fought him i realized the devs didnt learn from the first game and still have bosses with 0-2 possible opening for you to sneak a attack in
>>731769161ah did it, just parried his first stage, then second stage run around and let noah do most of the work
>>731769448did that yesterday and I was confused by that too kek

>>731762110I thought its out in 2 days?

Any tweaks to improve performance?

>>731762110Shit gave me a boner.
>>731769161Hes so hyperaggressive that i had to just parry him nonstop to get any openings, real slog of a fight.
Thing that's shitting me off about the customization is that the earring placement isn't even 1:1
>>731770025Code Vein boss acting like a Code Vein boss in a Code Vein game?Oh no.
Can you eventually strengthen boss codes or do those just become useless immediately?
>enter corn field>find broccoli
>get josee as partner>not in menu>miss out on her traits, upgraded blood code, and boosters from laviniaCool. Guess I'm done playing.
>>731772475Do note that when you first get her she's only available as a partner in the past.
>>731772559I figured it was people misunderstanding something rather than actual bug.
does going solo grant any bonuses in this one?
>>731772580I can understand the confusion considering how easy it is to "fully unlock" the first companion, Noah, compared to the second (typically Josee).
>>731772627You get the whole, undivided attention of all enemiesDepending on your partner, also some random buffs
>>731772627I dont know if "true solo" has anything special, but you can slurp up the AI companion to turn them off in exchange for bonuses. Not sure what all it gives, but something like double damage at least.
>>731772672>>731772734I see. never played the first game without a companion since I enjoyed exploring with them and the game being balanced around it.
>>731772559oh shid, really. That's good to know. Guess I'll get to experience some more open world slop.
Josee's katana is strong as fuck compared to Lou's shitty axe that exists only to apply a status effect.
>>731772796The REAL Code Vein experience is making the conscious decision to play solo and apply other restrictions on yourself and then complain the game is unbalanced and too hard
Just finished lyle as my 2nd hero. Felt kinda dumb that I didn't realize hero lyle wasn't using his actual arm until phase 2 and thought the moniker was just weird . Lyle's follow-up time intervention was so blatantly pointed out on how to do that I also managed to do it. Still can't figure out how to do josee's I had assumed I needed to wait until later to get the chance too but if I can do it now I assume I need to find something related to her sister
>>731772972pipe is sold by a merchant behind magmell btw
>>731772956Really? I havent gotten the katana but the axe has been my go to for clearing out a bunch of weak adds. its slow to come out but the aoe ticks multiple times for solid damage that kills basic enemies, and then usually slows anything left over.
>>731773060Actually wait I just remembered. If its the fucking curry from her free exploration side quests I'm gonna crash out
>>731769448I ran all over the place looking for some hidden path or some shit because i was sure there had to be more to it than that. I was pretty dissapointed.
>>731772972yeah, or the other end of going solo with pipe only no leveling, claiming the game was easy despite not even playing a single minute
>>731773090my clearing out weak groups of adds tool is chain lightning, big fan

How do you upgrade Frantz's bloodline?
>>731762110STFU nigger, your game already flopped and its gonna cratered so badly on release day
>>731773142i will have to give that a try
The bonus wallpapers are waaaay too fucking big. Its actually crashing Explorer and setting the screen to a default black.My CE finally arrived. Thankfully Bamco sent me a digital key because of the delays.Turns out though, the two keys are different so I guess I can try sell an ultimate edition key. Do you think they would rescind the key at all?
So who is Lycoris? Was it just a young Holly after all?
>>731762625Same Forma with VK Hammer. It has the GE2 infinite spear combo (my beloved dear darling)
>>731773494you can send me the other key, thanks!
If you skip Noah do you still get the bike?
>>731773401>he didn't launch the bike into enemies as his only source of damageYou didn't beat the game.
>>731769161Phase 1 is free once you learn how to parry the dash attack, he only has 3 moves when not in melee so its super easy to bait. Phase 2 has a lot more moves where he's locked in animation so you don't need to parry it. Default longsword is also plenty good since it has phantom assault
>jump off some train tracks on my bike>dont glide because they aren't really high and I can survive it like i could if I was on foot>bike explodes killing me instantly
There is a little blue dot all the way to the south of Josee's island but i don't see anything there and i can't find the entrance to any dungeons nearby.
Sometimes I forget I made my character the same height as lou since most present day cutscenes look normal and uniform. And then I get a cutscene with literally any of the male companions(valentin's lanky ass in particular) and it looks weird how mismatched we are
>>731774068IIRC there's a locked door there somewhere. No idea when you get access to that area though.
>>731774135Manlets... will they ever learn?
>>731774186Hey I might not be a brick shithouse but I want someone to tell me that valentin's proportions and tiny head are remotely normal
give it to me straight EA bros, will my i5-13400f shit itself trying to run it?
>>731774452Lmao look at how small this lil guy is. Oompa loompa headass.
>>731774452Valentin and Noah have yaoi proportions with lanky gorilla arms.
>>731774452Look at this MANLET
>>731773381>Weapons when you got hands? Cheatingspeaking of, I really like how using rune blades makes your character do martial arts and when you throw them to spin in the air using an ability it’s just your character kicking and punching all that’s left.
What is your favorite Jail type? For me it's the tail.
>>731775262I always was a hands type of rev

>>731775442You forgot:>Hair clipping through pillow>No blanket>Bed positioned in the middle of the room>large room that is probably cold as fuck
>>731773494So I'm this guy and it turns out you can't fucking sell keys on any major sites anymore. They all want you to be signed up as a business or post government ID and shit to register.No wonder Bambo didn't care about an extra key, all I can do is give it to a friend regardless. Thought I'd be able to save some cash on purchasing the CE too. Man I fucking hate the modern internet, can't do shit anymore.Unless someone knows a website. I haven't had to sell a key since Shadowbringers
>>731775737sorry to hear about that anon. what are you planning on doing with it if you cant use a website to sell it? ask some friends?
>>731774452I don't care if its a style choice, Valentin looks fucking stupid
>>731775737Does G2A not allow key selling anymore?
>>731775843I agree.
>>731774491Works fine on my i5-12400Running on the default settings which were set to high, lowered global illumination to medium and using DLAA which doesn't use upscaling.Open world exploration can dip and look choppy sometimes but the rest is smooth for me on on 1440p with a 144fps cap set.I think the biggest improvement both in visual clarity and performance was using this ini https://www.nexusmods.com/codevein2/mods/5?tab=description I also added some extra lines to it to disable foliage physics and ray tracing. And then I decreased the motion blur a bit more.

>>731775840I have one friend I know would play it for sub 2 hours and never touch it again because he's addicted to WoW lmao.>>731775889I tried Ebay, g2a, kinguin, cdkeys and gameflip and they all require business accounts now. Only gameflip just required government ID and I'd never used the site before either.
>>731776236most of my friends except one would probably also not play the game for more than 2 hours, but the one friend would finish it no doubt.
>>731776016aight, that sounds good. i didn't bother playing around in the settings in the character creator demo and the game was struggling while running around the hub but i've had it maxed out on native 1440p, guess i'll have to turn off the fucking lumen bullshit
>>731776315Its funny because they'd all gobble up any From game but souls-adjacent? Won't touch a single one of em.

>Negative tits and retarded thighs>Skip
>>731762110Please tell me they don't have the church area like they did in the first game.That shit was hell and not even in the fun way.
>>731773685Yes. You can come back to him later anyway.
>>731762989>mia if she yakumo
>>731777036im pretty sure nothing like this is in this game, the first major area was quite fun to explore.Also, they stopped putting a enemy around every single corner
>>731777053>laterTechnically, it's earlierFucking time travel
>>731769004To be fair she had zero breasts
I played 54 hours of the original game, and I can't summon a single fact about the plot of the game.
>>731776863you genuinely cannot win against the mildly retarded kuudere albino titcow that loves (you). Shit was doomed from the start
Is there like a Paladin class or group of skills or weapons or whatever? I'm gonna buy the game on the way home.
>>731777367im not that far into the game but theres a status called sunblight and im sure theres spells focused around that status. you can make your weapons apply them as well
>>731777367Like an anon said in an earlier thread, you'll always be some flavor of blood sorcerer.There's big swords and hammers, and support spells.

>>731779710Ehhhh
>>731780272Funny how in the first game everyone had some kind of special person while here they just went all in on (You) pandering, but Io was the most popular character in the first game and she was purely for (You) so it kind of makes sense.
>>731780272>confined to keeping causality and being a spectatorShe can't unfortunately.
World changes too much just by saving noahI guess this is where route is decided?
>>731780654Based on the ending guide. There is only 3 endings and each ending requires you to see the previous ending in order to see the next one.
>Lou gets scared>Josee reminds you that she's still in the backseat>Iris gets pissed>Jadwiga tells you to take things seriously>Valentin gets motion sicknessCompanions reacting to your awful driving is funny
>>731775737I'll give you 20€ for it.
Once again, blame CERO, not the company, unless it's about localization.
>>731780837yesterday i was thinking "what if the sandwich is in this game again"
>>731780746They could and should have just accepted a higher rating.
>>731780617Yeah it's a given. Any male would prefer all the cute girls be for your self insert like in my harem manga. Having characters shipped off with other side characters is shit only woman find appealing.
>Metagen remnantIf Frantz was kicking your ass good luck when you reach this spastic thing.
>>731781469>zero openingswhat were they thinking?
>>731781567The cherry on top is that you get a DOT for just getting behind it.
Tell me about Iris, is she dumb!?
>>731781469I had way less issues with that.Maybe because I was a couple hours back into the game and less rustyMaybe because I switched to Greatsword with Josee Code and spammed Blow of Madness to avoid killing myself from ichor OD
>>731781669She is the most normal girl you could possibly imagine.
>>731781669Worse: She's RUDE and a NORMIE
>>731780272
>>731781469Not reallyFrantz is literally late mid tier boss in early game, fuck even in demo you were way more powerful when facing him(could knock him down like 3-4 times during battle, while in actual game on 20 lvl with bleed weapon it's 2 times at best, once per phase)nothing else is compares Fuck, berserk bitch in city gives you less souls than frantz
Who filters better, Franz or Butterfly?
>>731780618Poor girl. Of she didn't have the domain expansion for breeding, she would have nothing else...
>>731773914I found phase 2 way easier because all his range attacks are free opening thereAnyway, how do you get parry so early in the game?
Holly's tits are way more impressive than the previews showed
>>731782007Butterfly is intended story boss and pretty fairFranz is "you should come back 2 zones later, but game will scream at you how you need to decide now"

>>731782531/v/'s interest on her plummeted once we found out she's not a virgin
So, what's the top 3 of for (you)?
>>731782557Not really, Margit was message from devs that you should go explore.But for Franz devs screaming at you that you should do him before following Lavinia down, but turns out situation is opposite and doing him early would actually rob you from content(not important one, but still)
>>731782531People haven't even gotten past the Sunken City, dude
>>731782607many such cases
>>731762110mc is just too irresistible..
>best mage weapon is Holly's gunI didn't go to wizard school for this
>>731782879Pretty much everything at the beginning of ER pushes you to Stormveil.The message gets conveyed by Margit beating your assFranz does the same thing and it shouldn't take a genius to figure out this is not time sensitive because you have literal time travel at your disposal.Then again, people got lost in the cathedral despite having a map available...
So has anyone got any fun builds so far? I didn't get the early access version so I can't play until the day after tomorrow but I can't wait to dick around with builds. Is it still as easy to change things up and respec as it was in CV1?
going to guess there are 0 god eater references this time around....they didn't even give us a weapon?
>>731783298Bloodreaver Blade is super based>Slap on the Blind Hero Blood Code>Slap on the associated booster>Learn the timing>One shot everything
>>731783298Levels still just make numbers go up.Stats still happen via blood codes you can change at will, but so far it feels there are less different ones available
>>731783298Guns are breddy gud so far>spam power shot>use bat>spam more power shotBullets are only really used for finishing mobs off or countersniping
>>731782531>>731782914Yeah I'm taking my time instead of rushing the story.
>>731762110guess I'll never see this because I don't play censored games
Does height actually effect hitboxes? Had a couple of bosses now I could just stand in front of and have their attacks go over my head because I'm playing as the smallest height possible.
>>731762110The first game was a 6/10. This one is a 5/10. The director needs to retire from video games.
>>731782879>But for Franz devs screaming at you that you should do him before following Lavinia down, but turns out situation is opposite and doing him early would actually rob you from content(not important one, but still)Wait what? He was the last thing I did before coming off yesterday, what did I miss by going straight back?I did notice he was a bit tankier than the other two bosses on MagMell but he still went down first go without any trouble so he didn't feel like something done out of sequence.
>>731783857>what did I miss by going straight back?Different monologue about hunting heroes down, boat to city instead of bridge, different dialogues at base
>>731781107But it is higher rating in Japan?Code Vein 1 and 2 are both Cero D
Is the game worth picking up right now or should I wait for a discount?
>>731784558Absolutely wait for a discount, game will be 80% off in 3 months
>>731784558That depends on your tolerance for kusoge.
>>731762251I would agree. Maybe in 2 years we will have some nice outfit mods but as of now it's pretty bad. They even added censorship for no good reason (what's wrong with showing panties?)
>>731784558better to wait for them to improve performance and for modders to add good outfits for it. Makes 0 sense to buy this at launch to be honest (even if a lot of people are going to do it anyway).
>>731782607>/v/'s interest on her plummeted once we found out she's not a virginSo she is a MILF?
>>731784891not even a mother, she's just an old whore
>>731782607Used goods
>>731784946>she's just an old whoreSound fine to me since this is apocalypse and shit, what's the problem?
>>731784946>>731784951>not even a mother, she's just an old whore>Used goodsSource?
>>731785164It's just the new schizo spam now that people stopped having melties about the censorship and are actually talking about the game. There's a line that you'd have to jump through 10,000 hoops in mental gymnastics to think implies she's not a virgin but shitposters gonna shitpost.
>>731785164Holly, who is very old, has a conversation with the protagonist about the assimilation thing and says she didn't think she could have any more first times at her age. She always speaks in a sexual way so it's heavily implied she is a filthy sex haver. Once the conversation gets posted or play through it yourself you can make your own mind up about it.
It's going to be HighGuard2 isn't it?
>>731785164This anon>>731785513 is literally lying by the way. That is not what she says. Notice shitposters have to change the wording so it sounds closer to their schizo narrative cause posting what she actually says isn't enough evidence.
>>731764030>Yes anon, we know and are pissed off about it. We're still going to enjoy the game though.
>not actually related to code vein despite being code vein 2>has time travel like scarlet nexus, thoughI BET THE MOON IS BEHIND THIS
>>731762110new number who this
>>731785513Nigga, take your meds

>Holly simps exist in-universeThe spectral revenant guarding this portrait was scary
>>731786226Yeah. ME.
>>731785164Source is >I made it the fuck up
Found a cool spellBiggest downside is that it clips into everything, which causes it to despawn
>>731786490Looks like the one from rune bladesAka worthless because enemies jump across arena and don't stand in it
>>731780707Now pop a wheelie and see how they each react
>>731786676It stunlocks most smaller enemies and can deal decent damage against bosses. Again, the biggest downside is that it keeps despawning because it hits uneven terrain.
>>731784951Into the trash
>>731762251the worst thing as a footCHAD is that out of all those outfits only like 2 of em can actually be made barefoot with nail polish, most outfits you cant change the boots and there are no open toe'd shoes either.
How does the game run with a 3060 ti?
Does the mask stay on or off during it?
>>731787658On obviously.
>>731787658Why do they wear the masks?There's no miasma, so is it just a fashion trend?
Ferris Wheel spotted
So for anyone who has played the game, is Jadwiga an actual follower you can take into missions or is she just a hub npc?
>>731788060It's a covid mask
>>731788318She's kinda a follower but too lazy to actively do stuff.She just backseats in your head and criticizes your short comings.
>>731788318She's a follower but she's permanently assimilated with you so she doesn't fight she only gives you stat buffs. She will still talk like everyone else though. Lavinia is the same.
>>731788318She's a non-combat follower. Most your party members have two forms, actually taking part in combat and assimilating into your jail to give a stat boost. She can only do the latter.They give commentary either way though.
>>731788449god. shes perfect
>Meet Holly>She immediately shoves your face into her tits and takes you on hot spring datesLadies are going crazy over the MC
>>731785973not liking used goods has nothing to do with gachashit, newfag

>get married to Josee and do our honeymoon around the Sunken City>suddenly remember Lou exists >go to the conflux room to talk to her>look around the room, don't see her anywhere wtf>finally find her crouched behind a vase looking mad as fuck>talk to her and she says she totally isn't bothered by Josee proposing to youAwww Lou.

Woke game
Anyone got comparison screenshots of CV and CV2?
>>731788814>>731788629>>731787658Despite being rated T, CV2 feels a lot more sexual than CV1
>>731789578What're we comparing?
>>731788901Denuvo won because they have succesfully create a DRM that inst intrusivePerf issues was caused by UE5
>>731789659Also more brutal at times. First boss literally picks up his own head and uses it as a gun.
So this game is really have NO connection to Code Vein 1 at all ?? Whats the point making this game titled Code Vein 2 then ???
>>731789691Graphics
>>731789948It's so people know it's gonna be another shitty game right off the bat
>>731789948Trying to bait (You) with the name to pre-order it, honestly, they could have called golden something instead of the code vein 2, but much less people will buy it.
>>731789948>So this game is really have NO connection to Code Vein 1 at all ??It's doing the Dark Souls 2 connection route.The events of GE/CV happened such a long fucking time ago that people don't remember what an Aragami is and think Revenants are a natural species instead of supersoldiers created by the American government.
>>731790071Between that and Frantz we have a pretty strong filter going. Gatekeeping normalfags can't get any easier than this.
>>731790153>>731789948Actually, it's connected to scarlet nexus.
>>731789948To fuck over all the people who asked for a sequel all these years as revenge for Scarlet Nexus being a flop
>>731790354the WHAT!!?? is real? last thing i know about soul eater was the yuri spin off.
>haha what if we got married as a joke but for real to make it even funnier>haha what if I teased you by saying everything is a date then got naked in the bath with you wouldn't that be hilarious Being Lou is suffering
>censored>used goods >woke translationI miss God Eater times.
>>731790465
>>731790424Read the manga or watch the anime Yes Fire Force is prequel to soul eater
>>731790527Grim.Also fuck this new captcha
Man i wished they would have made the game in criware engine, not only run smoothly but also looks really good, just look at digimon time starnger I’m coping ok?
Immortal Wanderers are freaking crazy, good Lord
Beloved pear shaped double amputee wife is my favorite.
For a mute protagonist, I'm appreciative of how expressive the MC getsI'm assuming the tradition of the MC getting a single voiced line still happens and I hope people don't spoil it
>>731792232>For a mute protagonist, I'm appreciative of how expressive the MC getsI don'tLiterally fucking retard, way worse than the one in first game, who actually got choices
Is the world map too big
>>731791910Sorry Lou but I think Josee is peak after all. >>731792390Maybe, getting around with the motorcycle isn't too bad. I'd say it's not annoyingly huge.
>>731792524>Josee is peak after all.Really?How the fuck wouldn't you want to leave her for dead after that cringe intro?
Where do I get the customer bond that gives you Crimson 2?
>>731792641>complaining about cringe while playing Code Vein Could've fooled me.
anyone doing a ''let everyone die'' playthrough
>>731792812I only had the heart for that in CV1 after finally deciding to cheevo hunt. Is there an alternate ending or achievement locked behind it in 2?
>>731792812Outside of Noah everyone is too unlikeable, so maybe I will do that on the next playthrough
>>731785263>"To think, I can still have a virginal experience at my age..."
Scarlet Nexus 2 when?
>>731785263Ever played Dragon Age Origins? Do you think Morrigan is a virgin?
>>731762110That's when the game went from 8/10 to 10/10.Talking to Cuckqueen Lou immediately after that scene brings CV2 up to an 11/10 game.
>>731789691Jadwiga's boobs vs Io's boobs
>>731785759>>731785513lmao he's not lying but who cares? she's still cool.
>>731793214Better use webms then, so you can also compare the breast physics.
>>731792641Don't talk about my future wife like that
Send in.... the cloooooowns.....
>>731791910Did she actually lose her legs?
>>731782879Franz isn't that hard, you just need to find an upgrade for the katana and the lightning ball AOE, BATS fuck him up big time.
>>731793586No wonder Holly is pretty. She's half white.
>>731793643You can see through her prosthetics.
>>731792812No, that requires not fighting the fun bosses like Franz.
>she sells Tyrant's Labrys, Hanemukuro, Nagimukuro,...Hmm...
>Beastlust Addict>Duo fight with a werewolf and a white womanWhat did Shift mean by this?
>>731792641Given her entire design. Cringe is a feature.
>>731762110love my silly wife
>>731762110>censored slop
>>731792641She lost to Lou anyway
game is good so far>censorshipi choose to believe this time there's no underwear underneath the towel
>>731792641Because of my penis.
>>731782607You would think nips would be more cautious about this kind of thingjust sent her out to die...
who chooses to dress like this
>>731796075Most of the outfits are kinda ass in this game. Whoever designed them should be fired immediately.
>>731796223there's a 100/10 dress
lmao
>>731796363AIIIIIEEEEEEEE!!!
>>731794870>i choose to believe this time there's no underwear underneath the towelA little mystery never hurt anybody
they really just let you say this to his face. guess i'm obligated to add holly to the collection.honestly, i don't get why people are so upset over the holly stuff. it's hilarious and they don't paint her as a raging whore or anything. it's just a silly situation.
>>731796363Did you really think it was possible for a woman to not commit any acts of thottery in the span of centuries. Even the most innocent looking women today have had miles of cock before they even reach 20.
>>731796864i really don't see that and i think people are getting overly upset.
Everyone talking about how sexo Josee is (which is valid desu) but no one mentions how much of a bro Noah is. Love this dude like you wouldn't believe. Using his Blood Code and just shanking some shit like we're in the back alleys of London is peak as shit.(I haven't actually met Josee yet. Maybe I'll hop on the train when I get there)
>>731796363She's a doctor, isn't she? Wouldn't she already know?
>>731797104it was just a lot of virgin births
>>731796847How does Lou takes it?
>>731797191in the pussy
I feel honestly bad for Lou. She gives (you) half of her heart to save your life, create a space of intimacy and tranquility in a post-apo world....And yet, here (you) are, marrying Josee and sharing a bath (no towels) with Holly....
>>731796223You have to do a little bit of work with character creation, mix and match parts, most of the sleeves and pants legs can be removed, play with the accessories and colors/patterns. you can make pretty good looks with everything.
>>731797191i dunno. i didn't check immediately after. right now she's just telling me we gotta gank her at her cocoon.
Josee is literally hideously ugly and unappealing, both face-wise, body-wise, voice-wise, everything. I genuinely refuse to believe anyone here is actually attracted to her and not just ironic shitposting.
Josee is literally stunningly beautiful and appealing, both face-wise, body-wise, voice-wise, everything. I genuinely refuse to believe anyone here isn't actually attracted to her and not just ironic shitposting.
>>731797062Everyone who partners with you basically becomes a ride or die within a few minutes. Lyle being cold and arrogant? Next thing you know he's calling me partner and that we can do anything together. Iris being a stickler for the rules? Give it a little bit and she'll be talking about our future together. Also are people jumping at holly before lyle? Isn't her area higher level than lyle's?
Lou, Josee and Holly are sex. My dick says so.
>The glowing enemies regen>Minibosses can have this effect
>>731764030>we

>>731798405Is that what that is? For a bit I worried they might be the self destructing enemies or something.
>>731798613WHERE
I'm really scared right now, bros>>731798674Crimson Scar, past a really annoying miniboss. You have to pass under the bridge to the big castle.
are link/trade points important? do i need to giftmax or can i just complete everyone's quests
That blood code of yours?Yeah, I put it in a box...
>There's another one in the Corroded Scar
>>731798854Why did they give it such large tits?
>>731798593Agreed, or actually improve the hair customization so you're less reliant on accessories to give your character bangs.
>>731798951the better to smother you with
>>731798854>You have to motorboat her titties to damage her>They made sure she has boobs physicsBased. If only the camera wasn't so ass.

>Greatly increases defense>Its 7.5% compared to ~4% of slightly increase defenseHounds please. Also how many veils are there? I got the OG 4 + bat and puppet, and on a sidenote ivy did not win the mask style department
Anyone know where I can get some Tender Crimson Stone 2? I need one more.
That last thread saging? That was gobbo's fault
Why is Reaper the only (maybe?) jail with a built in parry? Against bosses, it's like it is the only jail that will not lead me to getting punished heavily.
>>731798843anyone?
>>731799715Sorry, anon. I also don't know yet
So has anyone got far enough to see what the deal with Holly and Lycoris and how they're connected yet?
>>731762110So what is the plot of the game? How does it end?
>>731799715I think gifting unlocks new partner traits but don’t quote me on that.
Holly isn't a virgin cause (you) took it in the past with Lycoris
Man, the motorcycle needs a much higher top speed. Figured out how to improve turning angle by drifting with the brake controls, but the speed line effect on-screen when it goes like 30mph at most is bizarre.
political implications of jadwiga's tits?

>>731800562i'm still cracking up that they've chosen to give her THE most granny name ever holy shit
how does everyone have the game already i thought it doesnt release until friday
>>731801015goycattle edition has 3 day early access
>>731801015Coughed up the extra money for advanced access.
>>731801015you get it early if you buy the deluxe
>>731762110Game looks damn good, I'll gladly buy it for $40 a year from now on.
Poison is stored here
>I will always be by your sidefuck its Io 2... lou
>>731801015Purchase the Ultimate edition for a ton of extra outfits! And then be disappointed when you can't change the color of Io's dress.
>>731801318Hey Eva's underboob is still intact
>>731799887Well it involves a lot of touching hearts and the pain of killing/losing your friends is no longer optional
>>731801418True. Still worth it. Just might've considered using Io's dress if it wasn't color locked.
Wow, you can dress up as a tree?
>>731801883I beleave so.
Nice reference, Shift
>>731802024I hope lou doesn't turn into a treeOr at least she turns into a fuckable one with a similarly bottom heavy shape
>>731802123Is that...
I don't like the male faces in the character creation.Gonna have to be a flat lanklet yuri participant with really short hair.
>>731802816Just make a faceless dude with one of the masks and pretend you're not a twink.
>>731802891No
>>731802156>I hope lou doesn't turn into a treeIt depends on whether the devs want CV2 to return to the series roots or not.
>mutant berndwhat a fucking cunt.
I don't like how quickly you can get knocked down by bosses immediately after getting back up or healing
>>731803689Which one is that again?
>>731802816Have you considered facial hair?
guys i just got married!
>>731804968the one gatekeeping josee's cocoon.dead now, thankfully.
>>731762110I pre ordered the special boy version of the game, but I've barely had time to play because of stupid shit.
I never played CV. Should I jump into 2? I don't want to spend money thinking with my dick though.
>>731805293Congrats! Welcome to the club.
>>731799306>puppetyou mean scythe?
>>731806210What do you like in a Souls-like?
>>731806358Rewarding exploitation, self pace, armor types, weapon types, a hub with cool characters, big optional areas with optional bosses, collecting shit (like spells?
>>731806505Hmm...Well, I think CV2's exploration has some very nice rewards since it gives you skills, weapons, location buffs, etc. Code Vein is also known for having excellent build crafting.
>>731802123Shio and Promised Consort Soma will be the final boss
>>731806841I know the game isn't out but any idea on post game? PvP? I like where I can spend time in building my character without having to go to waste when the credits roll.
>>731806210I played the first game and I would say the $8 that I paid for it was a fair price. 6.5/10 game, decently entertaining but absolutely full of problems at every level.CV2 looks like its falling into all the same pitfalls of the first game's without really improving much.
>>731807028No pvp
>>731807028No multiplayer at allThe game is pretty big, so you'll be spending a long time playing.
>>731806210buy both
>>731807138CV 2 is open world and the combat is much more fluid with more options.
>has to play as a ningen in a game full of vampires
>>731807338doubt it
>>731807338>the combat is much more fluid with more optionsI'm sorry but based on what I've seen I simply do not believe you, and I am not paying $70 to see for myself.
>>731806210It's a Final Fantasy style sequel.The stories and characters are unconnected outside the terminology of various game mechanics and world lore.Both games are about anime vampires in a post apocalyptic future, that's it.
>>731807581Could care less about the story. Story and sex aside, is it worth it from gameplay alone?
>Lycoris just disappears when you batheI am dissapoint.
>>731806210If you're jumping in via your dick, buy 1 first better fan service and cheap as chips
Can you actually "romance" the girls or it's all just teasing?
>>731807338>more optionsyou mean less. bosses are all turbo fast with fuck off combos that give you very little margin of error. monster bosses all have a scream that you can interrupt they can whip out at any time, you rarely get super armor of your own, everything does a billion fucking damage, whips stuff out in an instant, and they can all move around the arena way faster than you.
>>731807886Holy shit, really? What about Josee? they censored the shit out of everything here
>First game's demo lets you play the game and get a feel for it to see if its to your liking>Second game's demo just lets you dick around with the character creatorThe most damning no-confidence vote a developer can cast.
>>731807436Not that anon, but CV2's combat is miles above CV1 combat.
>>731807786First game plays worse than DeS, honestly. On the plus side of the level design is genuinely pretty decent, sometimes even good. But the combat is subpar for a Soulslike.
>>731807959Josee is in a towel
>>731808119Is there a lore reason for Lycoris being the ONLY companion not able to enter the bath or is it just pure censorship?
>>731807931Dialogue doesn't change whether you select a male or female, that should tell you
Any obnoxious enemies like the Yeti's from the first game?
>>731808081Demon Souls is the best souls game though.
How do I kill the fucking faggot bird in the corroded scar? He heals every 2 attacks
>>731807987>but CV2's combat is miles above CV1 combat.fFor me it would be enough to give it a chance if it wasn't for the performances
>>731808316In terms of atmosphere, structure, level design and lore? Absolutely. Mechanically, its the most primitive and it shows. Every one of FROM's Souls games after it plays better, to say nothing of the more recent offerings we've seen from other developers.I still fucking love DeS, though.
>>731807218>>731807203>>731807138Does CV2 have photo mode?
>>731808326I just burst him down, but I'm pretty sure there is an enemy in the nearby dungeon giving him a regen buff
>>731808463Yup. I use it as a pause button.
>>731808476Oh that's what those things do
>>731807931it's a harem anime, they wrote the game with a male mc in mind>noah wants valentin senpai>lou gives you her heart>josèe "marries" you but then falls in love for real>holly has a sudden aversion to wearing clothes when you're with herit's a shift game
>>731808679Male MC is canon and prominent in the marketing material. You are a dude, and the game gives you waifus, this is not subtle at all.Female MC is non canon tranny cope option
>>731808679all games should be like this
>>731808540How far is the zoom in? Is there an barrier when you try to zoom too close? Is there clipping or does characters disappear completely when you hit a certain length?These are important questions people need to be asking more in vidya
>>731808285CV2 has obnoxious roaming mini-bosses that are purely ridiculous. You can't compare them to anything in the first game. Otherwise the tougher overworld enemies are mostly recycled from CV1 but they all have new looks and a new move or two. Haven't seen any Yetis yet.
>>731808679I'm just glad that Joseebros won hard.
>even her legs are fucked up because 70% of them are prosthetics
is CVII fun? i tried playing the first one but got bored when I got to the Anor Londo-looking place
>>731809309Plump nugget.
>>73180930970% of them are her ass and thighs
>>731809374>i tried playing the first one but got bored when I got to the Anor Londo-looking placeThe real question is if CV2 has a hole
Can you change NPC outfits?
>>731809620No, but they do lose eyes or limbs if you fuck up.
>>731809309>prosthetic hizamakura's with Lounot the comfiest, but it's the thought that counts.
