>Meet Holly for the first time>She immediately starts taking you on hotspring dates and insists on getting completely naked
If you're surprised then you didn't play the first game. Shan't buy thoughever. Retards removed coop for no reason.
corporate censorslop for fascist trash who hate women and men bodies
>I bet I can glide down with the motorcycle>it despawned the moment it left the groundshimata
I wasn't expecting them to go all in on the girls being horny for you after the first game was just all in on the power of friendship and the only people actually getting laid were Yakumo and Jack and maybe Nicola
>>731855937>not having frantz as op when people without early access can finally experience him on the 10lvl>reposting old stale coomer webmdisgusting
>>731857040I fought Frantz twice and decided to come back later.
>need to level up friendship to get recipes>fastest way to level friendship is to buy hundreds of eggs and feed them to every character
Are there any good str bayonets in the game?
I haven't left the starting island yet and found the underground ruins dungeon in the west. Is there any other area I should find that isn't marked on the map?
>>731856025Love the irony of you saying this while exposing that you've never played the 1st game.
>>731857470Most locations are shown on the map in the form of defined looking buildings or brackets to indicate openings.
>Iris's Questthat church fight was cancer though
>>731857253There's a strength scaling grenade launcher a merchant sells in Lyle's region and then when you get to Zenon's region riotbreaker from the first game is back but now it's a strength scaling shotgun.
>>731857684Does she fall in love with you too?
>>731857801The only 2 that don't are the tall bitches.
Game is excellent and the fact that I get to play DQ and Nioh 3 after it makes me happy
>>731857786>Zenon's region riotbreaker from the first game is back but now it's a strength scaling shotgunThat sounds sick but pretty far into the game. I've just gotten to Josee and I've been using Silver Shot.
>>731855937it's quite a fun game, I'm only an hour
>>731857859Nice. I like that she doesn't just instantly fall for you like the others though
>>731857943>tfw 35 hours in and just got to Holly
>seen only two genuinely negative reaction>one is a guy specifically telling you there are better things to spend your money on, the other guy genuinely can't read and doesn't like anime shit>everyone else is either mixed about the game or outrigbt positiveHonestly way betrer reception than i expected.
This is what Holly doesn't want you to see
>>731858115How have you played so much bro? Are you a NEET?
>>731857656You have no idea what you're talking about retard. Typing "no u" is the most brownoid behavior imaginable.
>>731858167it's hard in the beginning which is also going to cause some asspain. Some bosses are real difficulty spikes
>>731858216>hes not working 100% from homelol
Still can't decide if I should be doing all the optional dungeons whenever I enter an area or wait until I go back to the past to do them with that companion. Also some dungeons just being completely story related and you don't get a boss at the end of you do it early like the substation makes me think I should wait to do them until after I finish the past
>>731858324I can tell that starting fresh is going to be a pain in this game. It really gets going once you unlock Free Exploration, and that's only available once you kill Josee.>>731858216Early access + I don't have to work for this entire week.
>>731858426I do work fully remote. I actually work during the workday. Even if there's downtime I don't enjoy gaming as much while I'm mentally in work mode.>>731858487Nice.
>>731858426nta but I am and I can't play because I have so much to do at work I actually stayed up way too late last night playing because I was having a good time
Has anyone found a shotgun bayonet yet? I only have the ancient bayonet and Frantz.
>>731858674Silver one from the shop guy near the pier on the Noob Island
so does "margin 14" just mean "have more than 14 between the current burden and your max stat"?
>>731858735Is it any good?
>>731858810Yes. If your max is 20 then your stat needs to be at 6 for margin 14.
>>731858897all bayonet arts do absurd damage so far so yes. I also value the big close range damage vs the kinda whatever long ranged shot. The Ancient Hunter's comes with a better move, though. Just clone whatever you don't have and put it on the other.
>>731858646>>731858604good goyim

>>731858810>>731858914Oh, is that what it means?
>>731859118>>731858914do you need to be exact, or can you have like Margin 20 to activate a 10
>>731859057Alright, thanks.
>>731859178It just needs to be at least the margin you can have a bigger margin.

Gentlemen. I wish to travel back in time to nut on Josee's washboard abs. This is 100% more important than saving the world. Lavinia will know because of her powers. That is acceptable. In fact, that makes it better.
>>731860020>canadianOof.I recommed euthanasia.
>>731860536This is perfectly reasonable.
Is CV unc?

I really like Kuroda but I instantly associate any character with Kiryu the second I hear his voice

anyone playing magic mostly? Trying to decide if Stinger or Bat is better for big ichor regen. I have the ichor gain augment already for use with both.
Just taking my daughterfu out on a date to the amusement park.
>>731862319Bat is better, in my opinion.
>>731862331Holy kino I can't wait to get to that t. busy with irl and only 6 hours ingame
Does halberd feel similar to DeS halberd?
>>731862351Yeah, seems so for me too even if you do have to wait a bit more. I didn't really like Ivy; feels awkward to get off in the Turbo Spastic boss fights
>>731862448In what way? Most of the polearms I've used have had wide, sweeping attacks.
>>731862578Thrusting and staggering the enemy. The sweep attack in DeS was too slow for most situations.
>>731858216Is it necessary for Lou to hug you to initiate time travel or is she just a cute hugslut?
Do we expect an influx of players when the game launches in 4 hours or did everyone buy the deluxe/ultimate editions for advanced access?
>>731862889I'm assuming most players are on the PS5, honestly.
The Overload boosters are a bit silly with their requirements sometimes>Strength Overload - Kill some werebeasts that can be found anywhere>Willpower Overload - Kill an enemy found in one specific region that is harder than every miniboss in the game
>>731862889Probably a moderate influx of players considering Nioh 3 is releasing soon.Most reviews ive seen are actually pretty positive about both story and combat, so it will likely interest a decent chunk of people.
>>731862972All the japanese players I've seen posting on twitter at on ps5 yeah.>>731863192Is nioh 3 anime ish? I assume this game draws as many people that just like anime games as much as souls combat.
>>731855937imagine thinking it's ok to post on this board when you support censorship
>Actually has no marketing at all
>>731863317She straight up forgets to introduce herself, you have to go and talk to her yourself.
>>731863292imagine wishing you were a janny LOL
>>731863317She's shown here but not on her own. She doesn't seem to be marketed as>Here's the waifu you get if you play the gameShe's just there. Funny since she has the best most anime design imo.
Of the initial 3 heroes I found holly's story the weakest. Really lacks the personal connection that josee and lyle's had and just focuses on setting up the interfere the history part of the questline. I feel like you don't really get to know her so while its still tragic the hero fight didn't have the same impact. I expect I'll have a better view of it once I start interfering with the timeline. On a related note what the hell do I have to do to mess with josee's timeline? I already did her sidequest as soon as I finished all 3 regions but still nothing
>>731862972Not surprising with the recommended specs they listed for pc.Also is there no way to turn off bloom and motion blur?
Is anything missable or can you otherwise unintentionally brick your playthrough? How careful do I need to be?
>>731863971When lycoris gives you her code level it while helping her
>original game is $59.99 right nowWhy not put it on sale to drum up interest in the sequel? This seems like a miss.
>>731864603CV1 is like 20-30 hours so if anything it should have had a sale about 3 weeks ago so people would play it before 2 released
BEST JAILGO
>>731857859But those are the best ones...
How impactful is your choice of party member on your build? If you prefer to just use a character you like rather than one with the most synergy, does it feel bad/like you’re missing out or is it not really a big deal? Also can you re-edit your character after starting the game or no?
>>731865345stinger
>>731865345Bat
>>731863742At least the fight made up for it compared to Josee's.First time I made use of photo mode mid fight which I didn't know was possible.
>>731855937WHY THE FUCK IS THIS BITCH WEARING A HAT IN THE BATH?
>>731865681the hat stays on at all times
>>731865556Different partners give different bonuses and fight differently but its not build defining. Also yeah after the tutorial cave you'll be taken to the hub area and in the baths there you can change your apperance
>>731865564This, it applies status affects way better than Bat and does a lot more damage
>Lycoris gives me her 2nd code(B rank)>Achievement pops up for finding a highest rank blood codeThat doesn't make sense lou's given me an A-rank code and I've also hit a dead end on Iris and Noah's codes too
>>731865910Nice. Probably won’t get it until later next month but I’m really looking forward to it.
>>731866171that's the highest for hers
>>731866224Huh guess that means I should expect more codes from noah, iris and lou then. On a different note is there any partners that use a halberd? We've got repeats of 1-hand sword, 2-hand sword and rune blades but no halberd users yet
Found a dungeon that's just an actual maze>>731866436Zenon

>>731867206I'm also a Yakoozer fan but the 3 remake was questionable looking, but I have family share and my brother picked that up and DQ 7 so I have 4 games to play over the next month or longerFeels fucking GOOD
>>731858216Not a neet so I only have approximately 20 hours so far. Overall enjoying myself, the Sunken Pylon was pretty exceptional. >>731865345Reaper, I still want Scythes as a unique weapon type in CV but the Reaper finisher is fuckin' cool.
>GMG last minute extra 3% off from one purchaseHAHA I was right to wait
>>731867206CV2 is definitely kusoge but i'm still having fun with it. It's kind of similar to Dark souls 2 in that way.
>>731867380the problem with Reaper for me was the animation lock of the follow up always gets me hit on retarded multihit bosses (so all of them) The solution to that is of course, to get good, but I opted for something else
>>731865564This
>>731867319This scene was really hot
>>731867843>get boner>but your blood is being sucked>so your blood pressure drops>and the boner goes awayour MC had a hard (but then soft) life
>>731867942I would have been out cold because blood would be pumping to my dick instead of my brain. I would maintain that boner at the cost of my life.
>>731867561Yeah I know what you mean; Alexis in particular was punishing me for it (and for using a hammer in general). But I've pressed on. Since I'm doing a Hammer playthrough I'm accustomed to getting punished for trying to hit things more than once. But 90% of the reason I've permalocked Reaper is because I just want to use Scythes in CV.

Do you have to do the areas in order?
lmao
Describe the smell of each of the girls.
>>731868906I don't think so.
>>731869209Josee is really stinky.
>>731868768Scythes in God Eater are completely ridiculous and I absolutely love it. Also I found Iris' boost hammer and I've been using it ever since. Getting the full GE experience. >>731868929I'm a fan of Pizza Fatboy
>>731869395>Pizza Fatboy>only serves hot dogsWhat did Vampires mean by this
>>731869395wheres the hammer?
>>731869490Why would a vampire know the difference between a hot dog and a pizza
How’s the open world? Fun to explore? Lots of hidden stuff to find and good density of encounters or does it feel half-assed in any way?
>>731869890I'm liking it. The rewards are usually Formae (Gifts) or regional buffs, such as improved HP in the Sunken City. Enemy variety is still pretty low, though.
>>731869395>>731869490>Pizza Fatboy>hot dog top of the cart>cart's art shows a fajita>menu is burgersWhat the fuck.

>Finally start using a mage build>4k damage per fire ballThis is great
why upskirts in this game so shit?this low quality is definitely censorship.
Headin out to Pizza Fatboy, what do you want me to pick up for you?
>>731869890You have to be open to changing up your build to make the most of the rewards. There are a lot of upgrade materials to find, and if you're sticking with just one weapon, you won't find them very useful. Same for all the different weapon class abilities.
>>731870231Jelly donuts
>>731870231TJ style hot dog please
>>731870214first game for comparison
>>731870289Is there a limited amount of upgrade materials like in a lot of these games where you only have enough to max out a few weapons for example, or are you free to upgrade whatever you want without having to worry?
The lack of music while exploring is deafening.
McLeish's Cog is pretty good. You can repeat the input to make it spin in place for a surprisingly long time, and it has oddly high stagger values.
>>731870214>>731870490yikes
>>731870524Some of the overworld merchants will have a special item that allows you to buy an unlimited amount of certain upgrade materials from Jadwiga's shop
>>731870589I'll have a McLeish's Dog, hold to onion
>>731870524I can buy the level 1 materials once I got out of the starter island, so I imagine later on I can buy the higher level mats as well.

>>731871135hey retard if you bought the game why are you replying to a post clearly directed to a Twitter screenshot's posts who didn'tIt was the ESL part that triggered you because you can't read (because you are an ESL)
>>731862331>>731870214>>731870490She wears black spats/shorts btw, like most of the characters. I miss the first game where the safety shorts were tied to specific outfits rather than put on every character. It doesn't even make sense for these characters to all be wearing the same thing under their skirts. Usually the underwear depends on the character's personality. If their personality dictates that they would in fact wear shorts, then fine, it makes sense, all is well. But what are the chances every character would choose to wear it? Some of those girls are more elegant than that. Lycoris and the other girl are definitely NOT the shorts type, yet they wear them anyway, against their will. The game has no soul and the devs caved in

Hey. Hey.Guys.Shut the fuck up.

I am glad you bought the game (I did too) but back to my original point that was not about people who bought the game: >ESLs who were never going to buy the game because of Denuvo crying about censorship as the reason they didn'tlol

oh neat, i got my code from a keyshop before the release, i thought they would send them out right at launch
Magic, woooo

I think my loli broke.Having a lot of fun so far, barely scraping the surface of the game though. I've only just gotten to Josee's domain thing. Spent a lot of time dicking around and exploring the city when the map opened up.
>>731871851that's what I did, level 52 before I even went to my first Hero's past
>>731869574I miss the walking with your weapon out all the time. Would be nice if there was a toggle or setting for that. But if you're asking where to get it, there's a shop guy selling it in the Southern area of the Sunken city. He's at a train station that has a pier-like lookout. >>731870231I'd love some pepperoni pizza.

>>731871820but I got vampire dom scene in bed instead and I'm okay with that. Sorry!
>>731871878Hot damn, I haven't dicked around that much lol. Think I'm only level 20 or so rn, which feels like right around where I should be in this area. Enemies aren't too hard, but I'm not stomping them either. I still get clipped and take a fair amount of damage bc I'm stupid and overcommit though
>>731872102>Ainzbuffing.gif
>>731872150Just like CV1
I never tried to look up a character's skirt in the first game. Only discord troons want that in the game and are seething about it
>1 point better than the originalWhat caused the jump :O
>>731855937So is the game okay or nah?
>>731858604>I do work fully remote. I actually work during the workday. Even if there's downtime I don't enjoy gaming as much while I'm mentally in work mode.I'm the same way, but there are some exceptions. I typically will have a strategy game open so that during downtime I can make moves here and there. It's either that or shitposting.
>>731872415It's fun.
>>731872102Tried it with a boiled egg. Did 8k damage instead of 6k
Can you be a girl with a harem of men or at least one husbando?
>>731872336It's a better game.
Normally all the guys in games with character creators these last few years are super faggy to account for female avatars but I do not get that in this game at all
>>731858646Wait. Weren't all upskirts censored?
>>731872449>optimal damage buff is a fucking eggHonestly thats pretty funny
>>731872854>all the guys in games with character creators these last few years are super faggyLike in what game?
>>731872890no, you have to keep up with the shitposting cope; it's moved on to>well uh it's lower quality upskirts now
>>731872890No, a specific one and two DLC costumes.Still fucked up, but no giant black bar covering everything.
>>731872336Pfffft
is code vein a musoulike or a soulslike i never really understood
>>731872427Funny you mention that because I've been playing CivIV lately along with CV2
>>731873003well just recently in Big Gay 3 every guy in the game tried to suck my dick in the first hour, like the zesty guy dancing by himself
>>731873120Closer to a Soulslike than a musou.
>>731872854I mean the guy characters become enamored with the protagonist just as quick as the female characters, but I think the interactions were probably written around a Male MC so the guys just feel like buddies.
>>731873332>but I think the interactions were probably written around a Male MC so the guys just feel like buddies.Yes, this is what I appreciate.
>>731873120Souls-like, you roll and wait for an opportunity to attack.
>>731873006>>731873069Buying the game the moment I'm not broke. >Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: Denuvo Anti-TamperFuck. Buying the game the moment they remove Denuvo and I'm not broke. They removed Denuvo from the first game so I kind of thought 2 wouldn't have it. But I guess not. I don't want malware tier DRM on my PC, and I certainly don't want to pay for it. Alternatively I'd buy an NS2 version of the game, but it doesn't seem like they made one.
Just found Emily's weapon and the Warped Blade
>>731873664>Warped Blade has Blood Sacrifice>Garnet Splitter has Bridge to Glory
Anyone made a BDSM styled character?
I like Rune Blades a lot. My biggest complaint is they didn't give big weapons hyper armor out the gate although once you spec for stability you WILL notice it. Early on it feels like pre DLC Wo Long, but that goes away soon enough
Why are these enemies so hench? I struggle to get through their poise and make them stagger even using a greatsword. And I don't just mean the big guys, even some smaller dudes will take multiple greatsword r1s and not even flinch.
>>731873945I don't know, but I have a magic spell where I jump up and slam down to make a fire AoE circle of persistent burning, and that shit staggers EVERYTHING so there IS some kind of stat or something determining it per ability/spell/weapon
Should I play CV1 as male or female? I like making a cute anime girl but I also want to be able to date Io
>>731872336Critics make a decent salary so can afford to buy the superpowered PC components neccessary to run the game without randomly plunging to 30fps in the open world. I doubt the user reviews will have that liberty, at least uniformly.
Soonsoonsoonsoon
>>731874138There's just an affection meter, no dating
is there a guide on gifts/partners yet?
>>731872336Oof
>>731874138Male is canon in both games. The NPC girls are more than enough eye candy, and the player is a silent protagonist literally You.

>>731874727but he's right, AGP female PC-kun
>>731874727nta but this game is for self insertingi've played both games with a fem protag tho
>>731874746Thanks. On that note, does anyone know where to the the lightning chain forma?
>>731872461No, but the game must seem super gay if you play a woman with how you get mounted by Josee
Found a dungeon where the gimmick is that it's filled with Revenant NPC enemies
>>731874958don't remember but I can tell you it sucks lol
Is the player character the only human? Are all party members revenants?
>>731875292In the swamp of mommies?Those are hunters and they are cheating fucks because those are MY moves
It's almost nostalgic to play a soulslike where backstabbing is this busted. It's like being back in DS1. Like half the minibosses you can just run in circles around for free staggers without ever doing a normal attack.
>clear Sunken City in present>okay, time to continue to the story>story is clearing the same zones again in the past, with the same enemies, but now there's a boss thereRight. Lesson learned. Critical path comes first, then.
>>731875915Yeah kinda seems like theres no reason to do open world stuff in the present. All the sidequests and such seem to take place in the past.
>Boosted Blade>Boosted Blade - Horizon
My like of Josee shot up dramatically once I heard her speak. I assumed even if she was an adult she’d sound like a loli. But no, she sounds mature and cool.
>>731874727Nothing wrong with what he said. However I will continue to enjoy these games as both a vehicle for fun + challenging gameplay and a character creator to make cute girls to look at. And if I like any of the NPCs then they're speaking directly to me. Main thing is everyone enjoys the game.
>>731876186More dangerous enemies seem to be more common in the present.
i have not used a single item

>>731878492I normally don't like them but their moves are so damn good in this game

>>731878042Me neither. Unless the flashlight counts, I use that. I hardly ever use the guns or items in GE either. I appreciate that the devs don't take this personally and I can still complete the games just fine.

>some people have already finished the entire game and gotten all the endings.Goddamn, i have no idea how youtubers manage to squeeze entire games into a couple of days.
I wish if have a good fucking pc to play this game, playing any UE5 game at minimum is pure cancer.>>731878869>rush all main missions and ignore side contentsame thing happen with shadow of the erdtree
Any of you lads happen to know where I can get my hands on the Argent Wolf King's Blade? That's the two-handed one. Youtube only has Code Vein 1 vids for the same weapon and none of the online guides and wikis have been updated on locations past the intro zone.
>>731878704Guns always felt really secondary in GE compared to meele weapons.It didn't help that Kota and Alisa were both decent gunners, so i never had to even try to become more proficientnwith it.
>>731878869It's their job. First mover's advantage for guides and so on.
>>731874503This
>>731878964Is it in CV2? If it is, you can probably buy it from Jadwiga after doing some story stuff since she seems to offer a lot of CV1 weapons.
Seeing the nioh 3 80gb demo make the 20g from this game seen reasonable.
>>731879447>80 gb demoWhat the heck? That's practically an entire game.
>>731879534i wish i was joking
>>731879386It is in CV2, Doubt it's from Jadwiga, I've gotten most of the customer tokens and I'm up to gold card with her story.
>>731878964Sadly no. I've only found the Argent Wolf Musket and I don't even recall where. Think an enemy dropped it. >>731879046And that's a good thing. Can't into bullet autism and the huge melee weapons are a big part of the appeal to me. But don't forget about Kanon and her cannon blasting you instead of the Aragami.
>>731879534I've downloaded it but not tried it yet but according to some tubelords it's literally like a third of the game.
>>731879808I mean, I can't get too mad if it's a demo. Still weird to give a third of the game away for free. It would be like if you could play Dark Souls up until the Iron Golem for free.
I was so absolutely stun-locked in the hero holly fight when she pulled out the fucking gatling guns that I had to get rezzed during the special drain attack animation because I forgot I had josee code on . Its minor but I enjoy the symbolism between the injured and true hero fights, seeing the elements that marred one become redeemed in proper hero fights is cool as hellAlso also, I'm hoping the true hero version of josee puts up a better fight considering she's the last of the initial 3 that you gain access to the broken bond
Does it seem like it would be better to try a bunch of builds in one playthrough or do multiple playthroughs with different characters focused on different builds? I’d like to do the second but the open world nature makes me wonder if my experience will be like Elden Ring where I loved it but it was such a big undertaking exploring the whole world that I couldn’t work up the motivation to do it again with a new character.
>>731880393they throw upgrade materials at you so I've just been fucking aroundI only save the top tier for my 'real' weapons
>>731880393change weapon for each new zone if you want to try everything
>>731855937Paid marketing shill thread.
>>731880973Buy CV2 or else.
>>731880973Yes, I've made over 8000 this last week. Meanwhile, you seethe for free. The world is not just, is it?
So, is the French Loli as peak as she seemed?
what do you do with all the money this game gives you
How is this shit not cracked yet
>>731881249I buy up all the weapons and gifts from jadwiga's minions
>>731881249Buy maximum stacks of every ingredient
>>731881249Normally I would level up but I don't know if this game does the same shit 1 did where if you're level is too high you gain little to no experience towards mastering gifts/blood code. So I normally just drop it in the shops on whatever they've got
>>731881249I level up and maintain some alternate equipment that works when I have different stats due to blood codes.
>>731879795Man I even used a trainer to out of bounds into late-game areas and all the enemies still use Judgment weapons, which makes me think it's either endgame or NG+Also you probably bought the Musket from the sunken city gas sation minion, he sells one.
>>731881160Why would I want to get paid to seethe. I'll gladly call out your nigger ass for free whenever I feel like it.
i hate this big titty boss bitch>inb4 which one
>>731882076No, you'll sit here and seethe and cry and I'll laugh and pocket my Big Bandai Bucks
>>731878042I like that you can use the crafted cooking items as gifts. Everybody gets fried rice.
Holly's boss music is so nice. Cool fight overall

>>731882314I killed her so I don't need to know anymore
>>731855937Don't care, shit's censored to hell and back

>>731882906>He is unaware>>731883027I think I saw that somewhere in the forest? It was in one of Holly's minidungeons, inside a chest
Alright anons how bad is the censorship and localization? I already bought the game via key reseller so I may as well play it.
>>731883118its just bad subtitlesobviously don't play the english audio
>>731883161what about the outfits showing less skin? I heard of that one and the black shorts.
>>731883118bad translation but if you're a normal weeb you just turn on Jap audio and you'll be able to pick out the wrong stuff and no tit jiggleother than that holy Josee boners
>>731883237they're not as good that's true
>>731883087I shall be departing for the forest as soon as I boot up CV2 later. Thanks!
>>731883118man i LOVE IO SO FUCKING MUCH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>731883395i love fucking io
The game is peak but brought down by same shit blancing that affected the first game. You're either one-shotting enemies or need to spend half an hour fighting them. Hero fights are especially egregious, and if you're using a heavy weapon it's just tedium since they do too little damage for hit and run to make any decent time and they are too slow to combo without getting shredded because even at like level 100 with all the area buffs you still get hit for more than half your HP bar every fucking hit.
I'm still buying because I liked the first one and even if I don't like some stuff they did for 2 there's still nothing else new coming put anytime soon that I'm interested in.
>>731883847I feel like thats every souls game, they just want you rolling all the time to delayed attacks these days
>>731884003Hoestly I don't think it is. Other than a few fuck off bosses, like 5 or so across the entire franchise, most bosses you just need a couple extra soul levels and you're good. Not the case here.
There's nothing better to do with extra dropped weapons than to sell them right?
>>731883847Just did my first hero fight and I get what you mean,counterpoint though: Bloodreaver blade
>>731884378Had it and used it, didn't like it as much as the axe.

can i make my guy in CV2 look like a faceless goon or do i have to mcgyver it using the character creatorhave zero intention of buying this game unless its like 20$ on sale btw
>Immortal Wanderers can drop their weaponHave fun farming, LOL>>731885504You can completely obscure your face, yes
so is there a good end ive just missed, like in cv1? what would the conditions be?
>>731885746like do you have to do the hero fights last or something
>>731885813>fading bondsi assume that's it
>>731884378They don't get better either. I mean fights are not badly designed. But math on them is fucked.
>>731885594What's an immortal wanderer?
I saw some anon say the one brown vamp girl is used goods? Was that bait? I was gonna buy CV2 for her and the loli flattie but used goods is a skip.
>>731886395The sword wielding ghosts in the forest>>731886572Holly is just old
>spider mech but now a bossis there a non tedious way of fighting these guys they take forever to open up
>>731886572Holly is not used goods, that line was taken out of context and it was spread by ESL's. I could also mention something else but it's a big spoiler and further reinforced Holly being a virgin. She is an old lady.
>>731857656you had an open bath in the first game as well rerard

>>731886825>The sword wielding ghosts in the forestDon't they all just drop the lost weapon set?

Me & my daughterwifeWe're about to crash with Lou's thighs again
So what do people who enjoyed the first game think of this one? I'm on the fence. I liked the first one but the sequel having seemingly no story connection to the original makes me hesitant.
>>731888416I love it
>>731888416its good, its like code vein 1 with a better graphics engine, instead of tits who will always be there for you its thighs who will always be there for you, outfits aren't as skimpy though sadlybut you can see inside Lou's chest
>>731888416I like it even if I think some design changes are questionable, like gifts being tied to weapons instead of blood codes, but it's akin to going from Dark Souls 3 to Elden Ring. If you didn't like that you probably won't like this game
Amusingly, there is a "Used Goods" companion in CV2It's Lycoris
>>731888240>shortsFuck, thanks for letting me know not to waste my money on this. Think I'll get Nioh 3 instead
>the ivy jailthis thing is AIDS to try to use AND it blocks your view while charging
>>731888416It may not have story connection but it matches the vibe of the first game. It undeniably feels like Code Vein because you’re exploring this weird world of vampires that’s been brought low by tragedy. And the gameplay is much better from where I’m sitting. And the companion system is waaay cooler than before, both in flavor and function.
>>731888740nta but this, its another code vein game, even though it doesn't continue the plot
>>731888521>>731888551>>731888609Are the new girls worthwhile? I miss Io, Mia, and the cute flattie who sold weapons.
>>731887924>make max height character>Josee smacks your ass multiple times when she’s supposed to be clapping your backThis is the funniest way to play.
>>731888786ye
First few hours of the game were fucking miserable and I was genuinely regretting buying it.But it starts to tighten up once you can actually put a working build together and find a weapon that feels good. I’ve been having much more fun after leaving Sunken City. I like that even weapons in the same class have different combo strings (so far) so getting new stuff is always interesting.Enemies seem to flinch more compared to the first game, but I still don’t like how they simply have to fart in your direction to stagger you still.
>Tries to talk to dogs>Hyperfixation on mushrooms>Cries to a teddy bear about missing you>Becomes a dorky tiktok influencerEven as a flat girl enjoyer I must admit that this chick is without a doubt a perfect, 200% autistic wife.
This is NOT a sword, game
>>731855937Anyone know how you get those mech arm runeblades lycoris uses?
>Game refuses to hit 60 on the lowest settingsHow good is Bamco with fixing performance shit?>inb4 UE5I've yet to see any UE5 game run this bad. Nothing's bottlenecking either.
Any polearms in the game?
>>731888416I love CV1 and I've been enjoying CV2 quite a bit. It's different but very familiar and the dungeons are pretty solid so far. I get why they didn't sequel the story of CV. It would've been difficult so doing something different makes sense. You'll just have to believe they carried on the dream. The new story is interesting.
>>731888727I can guarantee your tranny ass is shitposting in Nioh 3 threads about censorship right now too.
>majority boughted the game at 140 buckssits fucking overgaben is a jewwwe 2k26 is doing a 7 day ((advanced)) access btw
They really need to fix the sound design, holy shit. There’s so many skills and spells that have these nice animations with weight behind them, but when they actually land they lack any kind of oomph and come off as a wet fart. The critical attacks are like this as well. Doesn’t feel like my manifested hell dogs are ripping into the enemy at all.

Man I guess challenging frantz that early on was just a bit out of my depth because I've been rolling over every other boss since then including the initial 3 heroes and their respective fading bondsAlso as a word of advice keep your left hand clean>>731889705Did you cross into the area you were supposed to go to but got dropped into the underground?
>>731890013Frantz rolled me a few times but I hadn't upgraded my weapon at al and I kept using greatsword despite it being shit against him it felt like.
>>731890013>Did you cross into the area you were supposed to go to but got dropped into the underground?yep
>>73188978090... 140... big fucking deal. it's far from $40. these games are slopped up with a 400% asking price>muh playercounts missing the point. the fact that more people are spending more on deluxe editions just shows how effective the goyim editions are >muh safespace in /v/jesus christ grow up. are you that afraid of getting a remorse after having made such a bad purchase? lmao
>>731890280>afraid of getting a remorseholy ESL lmao
>>731890013I think I beat Frantz like third try. I was stuck on Josee for about 3 hours though. I still don’t know how you’re supposed to consistently dodge the giant webs in phase 2. Even with the quickstep Formae the timing always felt super inconsistent.There’s a lot of shit that I have no idea how you can even dodge with the normal roll because iframes don’t see to last that long and some attacks linger forever.
>>731890342I actually own 7 remorses. I display them on my mantel.
>>731889665 >7,620 players >All-time peak 9,211 three days ago This is what full price deluxe digital pre-order culture has wrought. Bamco’s laughing to the bank while they pad investor slides with “early sales exceeded expectations.” Game might be soul but that price tag was PURE evil. Also kek at comparing it to WWE 2K26, that game’s been advanced accessing itself into the void for years now.
>>731890280Dude you need to calm down. I'm not obligated to be stressed out just because you're having a psychotic meltdown so stop being pissy that I"m not meeting your level of derangement.
>>731890374>only 7Rookie numbers. I have a full closet of remorses.
the ESL doesn't understand that money is not an issue for me and my leisure time. I wanted a game to play before Nioh 3, so I got one. Him not being able to afford it, Jews, whatever retard shit he is rambling about does not matter to me whatsoever In fact, I hope EVERYTHING I do "harms" gaming so you fuck off from it and kill yourself. Good day!
>playing as allen walker>first partner is call Noahnow wait a minute...
>>731889964Aww hell yeah. Not enough games have halberds. I'm a master with it in Chivalry 2.
Was that one anon looking for the Argent Wolf Blade or Argent Wolf King Blade? I found the former in a chest in the Sanitorium
>>731890530>Muh ESLLet me ask you anon, genuinely, is there a single aspect of your personality that's even remotely genuine, or is it all just a collage of failed 4chan memes masquerading as a sentience?
>>731890719>as a sentienceredo this line, should be "a sentient being" or "as sentience". If you're going to waste your life shitposting about games you will never play might as well fix that mangled ass English while you're at it.
On another note I'm a little annoyed that photo mode for some reason bugs out the special veil attack. Like in this one(spoiler since story boss) I go real time for a few seconds to get a better pose and it makes both the bat mask and the spear projectile disappear >>731890109Frantz just felt relentless no matter what weapon you use. Ended up needing to parry him to get any openings in the 1st phase but weirdly his 2nd phase was full of openings so it was fine once I got there>>731890202Weird its supposed to bring you to a new area full of camilo's pathos>>731890361I'm of the firm belief that normal evade is a trap, its quick evade or nothing at this point. Frantz is about the only boss i've had to parry, everyone else I've dodged their stuff with i-frames from skills phantom assault, spacing with bat, or just the regular quick dodge
>>731890719the irony here is so thick you could cut it with a knife

does Ivan really think Americans, Euros, Ausfags, and the like trade cows and pigs for 'shared accounts' to rent games like his slav shithole?
can you play this entire game with a bayonet or is it like a nioh thing where the ammo is too limited?
people are trying to make a retranslation mod if you all can wait
>>731891508I usually play female MCs cause games don't usually reward playing as a male protagonist enough but man it's basically impossible to play as a female MC in CV2.
>>731891659you 100% can, but the bullets aren't really that strong compared to skills so you end up not using them a lot. They're useful to build bleed in a pinch. You can get a stack of like 1k bullets for 5k haze at any vendor
>>731891679I can't wait and can mostly understand the JP voices, but I always appreciate the fan hustle
>>731891508>dude, AGP>>731891614>plays as a woman himselfLMAO
>>731891659Ammo is cheap but you can only carry so much. There are gifts that shoot with the bayonet without using ammo however
>>731891768nta but I think you have some issues if you see long haired men and think 'girl'
>>731891532Did you quote the wrong post? I paid for my game.
I cant believe they actually made the story about a vampire hunter that goes back in time to seduce the vampires he hunts
>>731891659Ammo is super cheap to buy and you can stock 9999 if you want. And there’s boosters that increase the amount of ammo you can carry at once. It also refreshes at Mistles so if you run out mid dungeon you’re not screwed.However, if you try to just snipe absolutely everything you will run out eventually. It’s kind of a fair trade off considering ammo actually does a pretty good chunk of damage and you can cheese a lot of fights by letting your partner keep aggro while you light the enemy up from afar.There’s also certain skills that allow you to shoot that use Ichor instead of ammo so you can go full ranged if you really want.

Technically you don't need to do the final boss fight of holly's repair but its right there. Just be warned holly is intended as the last of the 3 heroes you do so upgrade mats to bridge that gap might be a bit sparcer

>>731893398People are starting to get rightfully pissed at any dev who uses Unreal Engine and doesn't optimize properly. Also Denuvo.
>>731893417Is it just a pc thing?
>>731893649runs worse on PS5 so I am told. I can at least get a solid 60 by capping FPS
>>731893398It started out worse
>>731893649On PS5 it runs fine if you’re in a dungeon or building.The moment you step out into the open world though it immediately tanks.

>>731894928The tracking on some attacks is absolutely insane and I wonder if they playtested some of this shit at all. I don’t remember it being this bad in 1.Like someone else said earlier, the normal dodge seems useless and you need the quickstep. I get that they don’t want you to spam roll, but some attacks require either a pixel perfect dodge or linger so long that you still get tagged anyway unless you’re using the quickstep which actually can be spammed in succession.
>>731895615yeah, this fucktard acts like I didn't already get Nioh 3 as well kek
game devs stole my loli
made seras just like in 1 now i need me some big fucking guns

What settings to change for performance?
>>731896665How can any other character can even try to compete with her ToT
>>731897760Apparently TSR is more stable than DLSS is what I've heard
>>731898371I heard the same thing for SHf, so there's probably merit to that.
How did the player count barely go up at all with the actual release?
When should I take the ferry out? I think I completed everything on magmell island.
>>731855937why do i have to close my eyes when i'm a waman?
idk which one i prefer
>>731855937Ew. Anime.
>>731898963The majority of people who paid for early access say that if you’re on the fence you should wait to see if the game gets any patches and a maybe wait until later for a price drop. Nioh 3 demo also dropped and after playing that people might have decided on that if they could only pick one.I agree on waiting until a patch/price drop. I’m enjoying the game enough, but it’s rough and there’s a ton of stuff that could be fixed.
Gore if he sexy
