First for excessively lovey-dovey babymaking missionary while holding hands and kissing with Lou, Lavinia, Holly AND Josee.Iris can take Lou's usual chair
1st for Josee is our wife!
Thread is made. I am now going to sleep, nerds.
These threads need more Holly
>>560595768
>>560594692Thanks for making the thread. I'm off to bed as well. Sleep tight /cvg/.
I should actually play code vein (and god eaters), I remember prime /cvg/ having dedicated drawfags and it being a pleasant experience. Please don't die when I finish the game
>>560597773You definitely should. They're fun and the God Eaters are on sale on Steam right now for cheap.
>>560597773Go and play it now!

New update for CV2!
>>560598904Post da patch notes
>>560598904>>560599135https://www.bandainamcoent.com/news/code-vein-ii-patch-notes-version-1-0-6Rather short today.
To be continued
>>560601389good QoL changes but most if not all should've been there on release
>>560601389Ah finally! New Game plus without increasing the difficulty!
>>560601389Aiiieeee, I should have waited before going NG+
>>560601389What weapons did they buff?
>>560603852That's for a future patch.
>>560606606Ah...
>>560601389>UI to check affinityvery nice>allow trade/present with Noah during free explorationREALLY nice>add customizable CV1 costumesGIGA NICEI'm glad they're listening to feedback on all of these
>>560601389>customizable Code Vein costumes>more bangsThey listened to my feedback, excellent. Hopefully it doesn't take them too long to get this update out.
>>560620887Penguins? Or orcas?
>>560624221Lise...
>>560624693They seem to be orcas
Do your best!
>>560624910I wonder what would inspire the artist's mind to dress these cuties as orcas. That is true art. Makes you think.
>>560628674>I wonder what would inspire the artist's mind to dress these cuties as orcasalso seaworld dungeon
>>560628838>also SeaWorld dungeon.... *brain starts working* oh shit you're right. I never would've thought of that. We canonically take Josee on a date to SeaWorld, kill a pollution monster and save the orcas. That's genius.
What build should I try today...
Getting marked by Holly!
>>560634171I think I'll try whack horrors with my weapon.
>>560634171Try some sort of debuff build
>>560594329Man, I feel like replaying God Eater lol.
>>560650920I've been replaying GE3 off and on lately. Ring Blade is neat.
>>560640405>>560645231>>560651539Too small!
Arrisa on her way to the DLC
>>560658407Just 10 more days! Pretty excited.
>>560658407Can't wait
>>560650920Same
>>560601754The game was clearly struggling to be released at all, they likely released it as soon as it was in a good enough stateCo-op died as a result
>>560594620Dibs on Jadwiga in that case.
>>560634171>>560648691Go all in on Stone or something.
>>560629448Wait fuck. Is the Resurgence a climate change metaphor?>World destroying disaster that is brought about by overpopulation>Sunken city is flooded, forest is frozen over, scar is heavily polluted, all signs of climate change>Main person trying to explain the origins of the Resurgence is a scientist being silenced by people in positions of political power>The solution at the end of the game is collective responsibility and cultural reform rather than violence
>>560669897its the opposite if anything because you btfo Total RetarDs start a harem and reproduce
>>560669897Seems about right. Shift aren't strangers to ecological themes in their games. >>560670473Total Revenant Death is basically the Thanos snap solution to climate change, where you don't actually fix the problem you just lower consumption by getting rid of x% of people. Climate activists aren't going around saying overpopulation is the problem when pollution and reliance on dirty energy sources are far bigger culprits. I think anon is right.
>>560672202>where you don't actually fix the problemI don't know, if the problem is caused exclusively by revenants, removing any and all revenants is a very final solution to said problem
>>560672202>Climate activists aren't going around saying overpopulation is the problemthey are, they aren't saying pollution or dirty energy is the problem, there are clean alternatives like nuclear. they don't want that. they also support policies that increase pollution and waste of energy. because its not about the climate lmao
>>560676094But the actual reason for the Resurgence was Revenant lifespans being ungodly long and via vampire magic our hero Zenon was able to create a solution that fully solves it. So Revenant overpopulation was in fact the incorrect hypothesis.
>>560680872One problem can have different solutions.And Zenon Science alone did not solve it, it needed Voda Big Dick political energy to push wide spread adoption.This implies it's not a final solution because some future tards could just decide>Yeah, why should *I* sacrifice 20 minutes of my eternal life for the greater good. Make Revenants Great Again!kickstarting resurgegencing back up.TRD is final.
>>560659478>>560660324Oh shoot, that soon?
>>560692967Yup! Just 10-9 more days until Arrisa's DLC. Hopefully we're in for some more kino.
>>560694669It's just a boss rush thing, right?
>>560702393"Eirene’s Furnace of War continues the story of AI LIMIT following the ending of the main game, as Blader Arrisa embarks on a new chapter of her journey. Venturing into the Temple of War to face the trials set forth by Eirene the Warfare Bishop, players will face off against a mysterious new boss, as well as returning bosses that have been reworked with new mechanics to pose a greater challenge to seasoned soulslike players."Sounds like it's mainly a boss rush, if not entirely.
>>560704429I guess it's to be expected, small team and all. I hope we get some information about CV2's DLC soon.
>>560704606I'm sure it'll be good fun but I'd rather they had fully turned their attention to making a sequel. Hopefully they've already started on it. CV2 DLC might be awhile. They underestimated how much attention the base game needs But they've promised it'll be out within a year of release.
>>560717105I still don't know how she's so massive
>>560667231>Co-op died as a resultIs it possible or likely for them to pull something off like Elden Ring: Nightrein? Are there any other games that have done so?
>>560725381Not sure how they would even Nightreign-ify this game. There are far more parts to a build than weapons.
Night, /cvg/ bros
Gobbo could be here
How's the framerate looking now? I had to throw lossless scaling at the game to keep it decent at launch.
>>560731542mostly the same but it stutters a lot less
>>560731542Seems smoother to me, but didn't get in a ton of time with the latest patch yet
>>560731542It's better now
For me, it's Guardian Heart
>>560739771But why? Explain your reasoning.
>>560741439>refuses to bath>wears a heavy leather coat>lab nerd>fr*nchLise fucking STINKS
>>560742826>fr*nchYou take that back!
If Josee and Lise are French, what are the other characters?
>>560748156Other flavours of European. Given the surname McLeish you'd assume Craig's family are from Ireland. Lyle is adopted but probably from UK/Ireland as well.
>>560748361Don't hurt me Irish bros, but I can never tell the difference between the Irish and the Scottish
>>560748418>ScottishYou have a point. I tend to think of all Mc names as Irish by default. Sorry Scotland. Looked it up, McLeish seems Scotland is far more likely. Craig is a popular Scottish name and Imogen was popular there at one point. Oops.
>>560748156Astorias is the name of a region in Spain, innit?
>>560750121Makes sense. Spaniards are all sorts of different skin colors, and her dad seems vaguely hispanic.Does that mean Noah is the only black character?
Night, /cvg/ bros...
>>560755074But its morning?
>>560748156>Zenon and Jadwiga give out some mixed signals. On one hand you have the Polish spelling of their names. On another you have Zenon using "drágám" which stands for honey/darling in... Hungarian. Sibylle is a French variant of the Greek Sibyl. Gryfgote means absolutely nothing as far as I can tell.>Vodas are most likely Italian but they have a tinge of Romania mixed in there. Lavinia originates from the Roman mythology. Valentin is more common in Romania and Argentina (Italians use Valentino). Voda comes from Slavic languages but apparently it does appear in Romania as well. Ultimately what makes me think that the Voda clan comes from Italy is the fact that Valentin trades both carbonara and bolognese with (You).>McLeish are Scots as others already pointed out but for some reason they can give you jambalaya and hamburgers, both distinctly American dishes.>Noah could be English as his last name, Gaither points towards that (though it's most common in the US nowadays).>Frantz is probably from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. His first name uses the German spelling and Báthory was a Hungarian noble family.
>>560758712Voda being Romanian makes sense since vampires originate from the area and they're a branch of the primary Superbia clan. Might be some Italian mixed in to give them some posh elements.
>>560758712a lot of names are varying degrees of vampire referencesBathory being the most notable one. Lavinia could also be a cheeky reference to Lavinia Whatley (Dunwich Horror)
>>560766175>Valentin is Wilbur Whaetley
>>560725381It would be easier for them to just finish and restore co-op
Will the Revenant Hunter still live as long as a regular human?
>>560774106We just don't know, they might live longer thanks to being basically half revenant, but TRD ending seemed to have them die with a normal human life span. I think as long as Lou is alive the Hunter will be alive as long as herm
>>560780494The game seems to treat him as a half-Revenant of sorts at times. I assumed TRD just destroyed the Revenant side of him.
>>560781639Wouldn't he go back to being dead without Lou's bond, though?
>>560781975He TANKED it
Killing Oskar when?
Just saw on steam there were patches and more patches planned for later this month?
>>560785803Yes. Scroll up a bit.
Post flatties.
>>560796476Behind every titcow is a flatty burdened with milksacks
>>560799610Cute!
>>560810861Iris please don't eat the bird

What went wrong?
Clearly we need more (You) pandering. CV3 will be partially a dating sim.

>>560843207>From the last DLC
>>560833560Bit overdue innit?
And we're back>>560843207I even did some testing for the distances. Can't quite find the final results, though.
>>560846958I've been busy with other things...
>>560843768it's not soul if you can do it forwardsSo someone tell me if CV2 is worth playing at all? How is the GAMEPLAY? I skimmed for gameplay and you all seem to have gone back to the first one which isn't a good sign
>>560855771Gameplay is a lot better in CV2, imo. More build variety, more polish, (slightly) more enemies, better bosses, etc. Partner system is also overhauled to make them more "unique" to each other, i.e. one partner being better for unga bunga stuff and another being better for magic. You can still take whomever you want, though.
>>560855984I don't use partners but thanks for the recommendation. Will give it a try I think, expect me to be in here complaining in 1hr 59 minutes maybe
>>560855771>you all seem to have gone back to the first oneUh no, lolCV2 has a lot more replayability and way more content. The gameplay and writing are generally better as well.
>>560857196Hope you enjoy it, anon.

>>560860558Why do these guys SWING SO MUCH
>>560861317If you had a big cool sword you'd be swinging too
>>560859262That's quite generous
>>560855771I don't think anyone has gone back to the first one. At least not over CV2, or not that I'd seen anyway. Oh, but to what you're asking, I'll admit, I kinda think CV2 is all around slightly better than CV1. The first game does definitely do some things better and/or has a bit more polish in certain areas (and has co-op, which is a huge plus!), but overall I think CV2 does a lot of things right and imroves over the original's formula in a few ways! It certainly has its flaws, but I think its worth trying if you get the chance! It's a lot of fun!
Arrisa commuting to the DLC

>>560854665>Player: I finally managed to defeat them. There were more of them than I expected.>Jadwiga: Good grief... you really had me worried.>Jadwiga: After all, with your weapons and fighting style, I can't really contribute much. Wouldn't it be safer to act together with others who can fight alongside you?>Player: Well... you should understand.>Jadwiga: Understand...? Huh!? You don't mean...>Jadwiga: Are you disliked by the others...?>Jadwiga: That's a shame, considering how much you're putting yourself on the line...>Player: Eh......
Did Iris style her hair to look like her bloodcode, or does her bloodcode look like that because that's how she styles her hair....?
>>560594329>shiftMore like SHIT! Have a bump.
Did they ever fix the camera so you can actually see your character's entire body without having to look down?
>>560857196God this thing is ugly. It somehow looks even lower effort than the first while having worse performance and even more generic empty environments. Also the alternate attack inputs are gone?

Tower of Trials when...
>>560920258What would that even add? There aren't any co-op medals to grind for, and you can already buy everything from Jadwiga's shop. We don't even need MJs to awaken stuff
>>560921131I just think it would be a nice endgame mode. Let us unlock companion skins or something like that.
>>560921360>>560921131>>560920258I just want a way to refight bosses

>Finally get the chance to play again>Remember how nice the music isAlways pleasant to hear
>>560935487
>>560915695Zenon's minotaur form feels random as fuck. Take Josee for example, she's a French weeb so she LARPs as a Japanese Miko, makes sense.Zenon on the other hand gives out zero context clues about being Greek or being into Greek mythology. Furthermore you can't even tie it into Zenon's idea of a hero as Minotaur was a bad guy killed by Theseus, an actual hero.
>>560926492shaped like a capital I with big Oskamigemu
>>560935487>>560936773Flatty>>560937297>Zenon on the other hand gives out zero context clues about being GreekZeno? I still don't get the minotaur thing though
>>560937873>>560937297I thought it was because it's an inverse of who he is. Josee is a blind madwoman that attacks everyone around her, Zenon is a mindless beast running into walls. His phase 2 is his TRUE form.
>>560936773CV2 Eldeer.
>>560940591I messed up and inverted her hair color...
>>560937297This is all conjecture from some rando in youtube's comment section, although I suppose a couple might be reasonable guesses. >Both are trapped within labyrinthine islands>The Minotaur's actual name is Asterion, meaning "Starry" or "Little Star". Zenon has astrological design themes.>Both feature bull horns>Zenon can translate to "Gift of Zeus". King Minos, the Minotaur's stepfather, was also a son of Zeus.>Both are connected to women who have mystical powers/connotations. The Minotaur's half-sister, Ariadne, was a sorceress. Sybille, the name of Zenon's wife, translates to "oracle" or "prophetess".>Bulls are also commonly connected to Solar deities in Greek myth. Both Helios and Apollo are cattle herdsmen. Helios is the Minotaur's maternal grandfather.I was also wondering if there's some tie in that I don't understand with the nio statue at the back of the chamber. I was almost inclined to wonder if it was not a minotaur theme, but instead Gozu(ki), although it's rare to see Gozu without Mezu, since they're sort of a package deal in Buddhist myth.
>>560943802Sybil is the name of the oracle in The AeneidAmusingly, Lavinia is the name of the princess that Aeneas marries in the Aeneid
>>560943802I'll be honest I thought it's just that he has an ego that made him 'bull-headed'
Weapon size scaling with player height is still funny
>>560945223Oh, I really like the new look for CV2 Eldeer! Good choice on the fit, it works great for her!
>>560947880The facial proportions felt a bit too "mature" for Eldeer's old design, so I changed it a bit. When the next update comes out, I'll make the jacket white.
>Check mods>Nothing for giving Jadwiga's outfit to the player characterThat's surprising
>>560949028Yeah, I really like the new style of CV2, though you gain and lose some things from CV1 in the process. But I see it as a chance for a good glowup!Off the added things coming in next patch, I'm definitely most looking forward to new game plus without increasing the difficulty, easily! But I'm also looking forward to the oither things as well, like being able to customize the DLC outfits! Mia's coat looks GREAT with a number of different fits, but being stuck at black somewhat limits what you can do with it.
>>560953023>>560950762I'm hoping that we'll also get the CV2 companion outfits in the future.
OK first impressiongs:>This is fucking ugly>This runs like shit despite being fucking ugly>Looks like environments were made by complete amateurs dumping stock assets into UE>Build design with different attribute burdens seems like a cool idea>Character 'armour' being completely cosmetic and unrestricted is soulless>Why the fuck do Bayonets need separate ammo that the game isn't even giving me?>Bayonet melee moveset seems functional now>Poise changes so that all R1s stagger except the first attack is consistent but lacks the nuance of the first game>Where are my alternate moveset attacks to score knockdowns on poise breaks?>Backstabs are still way too good and too heavily incentivised>At least you aren't pushed to backstab 30 times to increase max ichor>Bleed/steal mechanic is well thought out but I kinda liked fully charged Drains being rewarding and difficult to use>These cinematic attacks take 3 hours which is horrific and I don't seem to be able to turn them off because the option only disables the camera>Having limited healing at the start of the game and things feeling more like a classic soulslike is nice, but I get far too many cheat deaths and this is all kinda easy
>>560957467You get ammo from vendors, anon. You can buy over 999 bullets for less than 5000 haze
>>560956687Man, I miss the weapons being xbox huge
>>560957882So then it just doesn't interact with the rest of the game mechanics at all? What's the point of that, horrid change. Bayonets used to be cool because of their oddball mechanics where you had to build ichor for shots but wanted to use melee stat builds which were separate from the high ichor caster builds and felt different to play. Do they at least give you Ichor spender weapon skills which shoot the bayonet later?
>>560958660There are a few mechanics that interact with your bullets, i.e. being able to use HP to shoot stuff or increasing your max ammo. CV2's significantly lower Ichor cap means that Bayonets need something else to use as ammo to be more "enticing". There are also different ammo types for the different guns, and gunshots in general are significantly stronger. The Raider's Bayonet you get early on is an amazing side weapon, for instance.
>>560957467>this is all kinda easy>he says, post patchyou can't really beat CV2, anon
>>560958660There are a ton of Bayonet gifts that use Ichor. I like the mortar one.
I miss being a Revenant
>>560961226Why? Being a human is so much better than being some disgusting bloodsucker that only exists to raise human as cattle for their perverted feeding frenzies
>>560959279>CV2's significantly lower Ichor cap means that Bayonets need something else to use as ammo to be more "enticing"This runs counter to the appeal of the weapon for me. Low ichor cap is great, means you have a faster 'loop' of mechanics and aren't just standing there firing 20 times in a row. The shots having no real cost feels like a poor way to integrate them but I'll hold judgement till I've seen the weapon abilities
>>560960553if the changes are number related then all I have to do is not level up
>>560963338they are not
>>560961525human hands typed this post

>>560950762Jadwiga uses a different model so it would not exactly be easy most characters in the game use their own distinct models, the only ones that use player models are generic unnamed NPCs, and Lise uses a player model aside from her head
>>560971319>DLC baitHow long till he is added to the harem
>>560975723I doubt they will bring him back for a DLC called "Mask of Idris".
should I do any past changing activities on my first playthrough?
>>560978846There's no reason not to save Noah immediately.
>>560980295I mean, there are seperate cutscene entries for versions with and without Noah, if you want to get into the technicalities, but other than the one near the beginning, all the scenes from Luna and on require a second playthrough.
>>560982736Sure but those cutscenes add nothing. You're basically forcing yourself to play a second run for nothing. In fact I couldn't find the Lavinia opens the cocoon cutscene despite seeing it on my first playthrough before being forced to do it all over again for Noah. There really isn't a reason not to just save him.
>>560983783I somewhat suspect that Confluence records update to your current playthrough like as in whether you do the heroes fading bonds or not before the upheaval.
>>560971319I want his sword

Something about fangs like this makes me just want to kiss her non-stop
>>561025378Why do people call her a cat?
>>561025748I started that, and it was mostly because of her little tiara thing looking like flattened cat earsIt kinda spiraled out of control
>>561026118I still say it looks more like a crab
Sorry, clearly a cat, weak to chin scritches too.
Really wish the Gold Blood Beads were obtained from defeating Forma Gears, that were stronger, unique enemies, rather than just finding them in cathedral towers.
>>561028654Yeah, theyre just kinda also there, very odd designYou dont get anything from fighting them so theyre just not worth bothering with at all
>>561028752I just wish you could damage them more from the sides
>>561026313She is the goat
>>561037921SHE'S EATING ME
>>561042612I still have no idea what her hair things are supposed to be
>>561028654The Tower structures on the map help you find them all. That part makes sense from a design perspective. If you were going tryhard with the difficulty, you could have all the towers be locked by a door with a missing key. Then the keys are held by nearby roaming boss-like enemies. Towers like the one where you have to Motorcycle jump off a roof are well designed. You can't get to it otherwise and you need to climb a building that has some enemies in it to get to the roof. That's qualification enough. But most Towers in the game you just walk into, grab the idol and then walk out. If there's an enemy nearby meant to be guarding it, you can often just sneak past them because open world design. I think the game would be better off if most (not all) of the towers were locked or actually guarded by a boss enemy or some kind of puzzle or quest.
>>560957467I'm starting to get the impression that the CV guys responsible for design ideas and gameplay mechanics deserve better artists and better coders

Skelly
>>561067661Beached whale, perhaps
>>561068395If it is a whale skeleton, it's not a correct one because their ribs shrink in the other directionThe bone on the right end can only be a neck bone
>>561068395he took that screenshot in the dam water reservoir, you're not getting any whales up there lol
I feel like I'm really squishy in this game
>>561070581Are you keeping your Veil and defensive Forma in mind? Those are really important for defense.
Finished replaying the first game again and even though I like the story and soulslike structure more than the open world I spent literally the entire time missing the cast from 2.
>>561068395>Whale>In a reservoir
>>561074510why did they build houses there though
>>561075703I think they were there before the reservoir was made
>>561069620>Actual answer by a smart and observant personI kneel>>561070139>>561074510>hurr durr that would be mildly weird And weird things never happen as we all know
>>561080124Whales aren't real
>>561080201WRONG >>560620887They're real and they're cute!
>>561080849orcas aren't whales
>>561080998All Cetaceans are whales.
>>561081625This is one of their closest (and relatively recent) extinct relatives btw
>>561081625>Crabs out of nowhere
Post side dungeons you liked
>>561082420Crabs are Crustaceans, not Cetaceans >>561082382If it was a Cetacean, then it was a literal land whale. I'm sure they were delicious. >>561083515On topic, I like the Water Treatment PlantOtherwise I honestly think CV2 has tons of awesome side dungeons. I'd have a hard time listing one I dislike.
>>561084526Not a cetacean, a very close relative like hippos today.Family trees get weird, e.g. this is a close relative of elephants (more obvious on closer inspection)
>>561084816Biology is fun. Code Whales.
>>561086089Just not Code Fairy
>>561086268Fairies aren't real. They're not Biology like Code Vein is all about.
>>561086773As opposed to vampires, zombies and Xenomorph Jesus?
Gn, /cvg/>>561086859Speaking of Jesus, I always get annoyed when people call the Virgin Birth "the Immaculate Conception"
>>561086859Code Vein is about real shit like ripping out your still beating heart to giving it back to a friend, not magic and pixie dust. Vampires, zombies and Jesus all have one thing in common; they died and yet they still live on. It's special but not unheard of in Biology. Fairies, magic and pixie dust are FAKE and don't belong in Code Vein. >>561087467There was still 9 months between his birth and his conception so yeah that's a silly error to make.
>>561088338The Immaculate Conception is about the Virgin Mary...
>>561088667It's about a miracle in which a virgin girl is miraculously impregnated (by God). Jesus is a pretty important part of the equation but the utility of the story is more about Mary and womanhood, sure. Code Christianity.
If Lou was more like a vampire bat, she'd often piss herself in the middle of her meal and just generally piss a lot. Blood needs to be flushed out fairly quickly once anything worthwhile is absorbed.
>last time on Code Vein 2>lvl 1 Musket character working her ass off to needle down the ravenous harlot Scarlett>finally get her after numerous tries>this time on Code Vein 2>load up still lvl 130 Hammer girl and on a whim decide to take on a side dungeon since I skipped almost all of them to get to the true ending in NG+ and end up back here after taking a wrong turn at Albuquerque >speedrun through all the enemies>toying with Scarlett the super slut>don't use a single heal>heck she died before I could special drain attack her onceMildly off-topic I know but I found this amusing.
Does anyone know of a decent way to acquire water lilies? I only know of a singular lily next to the Checkpoint ruins mistle.
>>561045364To me they looked like jackal earsAnd she does look a little bit egyptian in a way, the teleporting kinda looking like sand doesnt help
Okay who let Holly loose in the thread?Please revoke her internet access before she does something stupid
Apologies, I'll get back on topic. Code Christianity Whales
Honestly the spikeball guys are horrifying
>>561110058They were like this in CV1, too. Just a giant fusion of gas masks
>>561045364>>561099414Huh... The Egyptian and Anubis/Inpu motif seemed readily apparent. I'm surprised that anyone could take her design and differently. Though, while on it, I do find it funny that the voice actors never pronounce Jadwiga's name correctly.
>>561113508How do you even pronounce it?
>>561119021Water is very important!
The Sunken City is pretty neat
Oh, I finally realized how you're supposed to dodge the Forma Beasts' spin attack>Run to the side>Dodge when it almost hits youI really am stupid.
are the other parries in 2? because i really suck with the slap parry
>>561128963There are a few parry abilities that aren't the parry, i.e. the Reaper Jail start up or that Fortress forma for greatswords. They're all more difficult to use than the regular slap parry, though.
>>561129595ah fuck my ivy crutch...
>You can just go to the Undead Forest without interacting with anything related to Josee
Deer in the neighborhood
Bird statue
>>561132429Cute deer!>>561132064Yeah you can do the heroes in any order, there aren't any restrictions. The catch is you don't get Exploration Era or Lise's bond until you finish Josee's route.>>561129595Reaper chads, why can't we just stop WINNING!>>561128450I'll admit, it took me WAY longer than it should have to realize the same. I kept getting clipped by the spin attack for the longest time!
>>561141521For a second, I forgot I wasn't on /lcg/ againNo, it's not because of Roland. Black and yellow made me think of Big Bird and the Black Forest.
>>561141668I wonder if one could make an Apocalypse Bird themed character? Might be worth a try. I do wonder what gifts would be used, though...

I'm supposed to go back to the future, but I'm going on an adventure with Josee
>>561148960>Lou just watching from the Confluence
>Killing the Metagen Remnant over in the frigid village before even talking to Josee
>>561152675>before even talking to JoseeBlasphemy...
>>561153290Oh cool! Which Bamco account is this? We're slacking in the US, The bamcoUS account, Josee won the poll, instead. But Holly was close!
>>561156174US, but on YouTube instead of Twitter.
>>561156174>>561156503>Josee won the Twitter poll but lost the YouTube oneAnd what does this tell us about Internet society?
>>561158337I want to suck her mosquito bites.
>>561159340same
>>561159340I shall volunteer to be the mosquito who injects my blood back into her
>>561158337Holly is simply more appreciated in action
>>561162047>in actionThat doesn't make any sense. Josee is a much stronger companion than Holly.
>>561137271do they ever explain why everyone in CV2 worships birds?
>>561158337Oh, that YT has more active users/engagement than X, I guess? The X post only has a couple hundred votes, but the YT one has a couple thousand!
>>561165556There's a thing on the youtube's phone app where they shove random polls to people's home pages.
>>561165556>maybe 3000 votes at mostNobody cares about CV2 and their YouTube poll just has more NPCs whining in the comments about censorship or it not being a direct sequel. What a disaster...
>>561167121How many people would even know about any poll?
>>561167121Most of the replies I saw on YouTube were either praising the characters or lamenting over Lyle and Zenon being so low...
I haven't paid much attention to the music in 2 yet but I really like the undead forest music

Morning, /cvg/ bros
>>561237030What is she shocked about?
>>561238903Your dick actually managed to reach all the way through
Post God Eater
>>561246920Slow day today
lovely
>>561253781Would be faster if we had God Eater 4
>>561254032Corroded Scar is huge and it performs a bit better now from what I can tell. >>561254243Sure but we just got CV2.
>>561253781I'm currently trying to write a story
>>561255758What's it about?
>>561262323Fantasy story about a guy with a big sword. It's largely self-indulgent.
>>561262057Why are they so stacked, anyway?
>>561262474Good luck, I should probably actually try to write one of my ideas at some point, eventually, someday...>>561265403Why not?
10/10 boss design, locational damage is a top tier gimmickThis Katana secondary weapon seems nuts, does its damage change based on weapon scaling like casted magic or does it only scale with levels and attributes? Also are Bayonet shots still Willpower or is that linked to weapon scaling too now? I'm still not happy with the ammo change and it also seems like most of the bayonets in the game are pointlessly shit compared to the first one you get
>>561267582It has its own scaling. I think it's A+ Dex? There is a Booster that increases its damage, too.Did you try the Raider's Bayonet? It's fantastic.
>>561268539That's the "first one" I was referring too yea. It's clearly abusively good for a fast ranged weapon that doesn't use Ichor, but then every other bayonet shot is a useless meme. What is Rubellite Piercer even for? Argent Wolf? Sunset Bayonet? There's no reason for these weapons to exist when you get Raider's straight away
>>561270345AhhWell, Raider's is a drop from a boss that's technically optional, so it's naturally stronger/more unique than the others. I think the others have significantly less burden to make up for it, though. There are also bayonets that have better damage per bullet.
>>561113508Interestingly, the Japanese VA's actually try and pronounce it correctly, they just don't have the phoenetics to. But it is kind of curious that the English version gets it half right and half wrong, come to think of it.>>561218328Best CV2 location!>>561265403Resurgence is stored in the booba>>561267582Cute character! You almost never see anyone use that fit!

wasn't this 2027 somethin before?
>>561330294Oh shoot!I guess that means we get to see it sooner.Please don't be like CV1's DLCs...
>>561330294They used "by January 2027" as a deadline, not specific release date. Basically it could release at any point before that date.

Dev and composer interviewhttps://dengekionline.com/article/202603/68846
>>561413265>Is there any intention behind Valentin's prosthetic arm or the physical characteristics of other characters?>Yoshimura D. In this work, vampires are depicted as strong beings with eternal life and advanced technology, but also as "imperfect beings" who are the starting point of the world's hardship.>On the other hand, humans have short lifespans and are weak, but we wanted to depict their spirituality and emotional strength. The sight of vampires mending their lost parts with kintsugi as a price for their power is a symbol of their imperfect existence, which can only be complete with humans.Interesting, and that all comes together in the Finale as well. From what they have to say about the game, I think they put a lot of heart and soul into the narrative, characters and music which does ring true. Sad the game isn't doing as well as it should over minor shit. >"How was the intense character Zenon Griffgoot born?>Director Yoshimura: Since he's a character who drives the story, we first built him around the "role necessary to make the scenario work."To uncover the secrets of the world, he needed to be a technician with a strong sense of curiosity and have a different ideology from Idris, who is his counterpart. Then, keywords like "ten thousand years of imprisonment" and the long lifespan of vampires were combined with that."Idris is the counterpart to Zenon is he? Kinda confirms Idris is gonna be a companion in the DLC.
>>561416709They clearly didn't have enough time or resources to get everything done eitherAgain
>>561417610True, apparently they just got in Zenon's music number because of how complicated it was.
>>561362672Not really out of character, but ultimately she’s more of a tease than an actual slut, kinda like that scene where it looked like she was about to have sex with (You) but then it turned out you were just knocked out and she wanted to mess with you. Such is life for Hiro Kamui.
>>561422137SPOOKED!!
Sleep tight /cvg/
what's the best spell in the game? surely there's something that's cost effective here
>>561409332This one?
>>561432182The basic fire ball is absurdly cost effective since you can charge it
>>561434410thanks, i'll take note of that. what about for one hit big damage spells? can't really seem to find one that's the spell equivalent of the mighty hit/boosted blade
>>561434828There are Baba Yaga's Gaze and Twilight, but they're pretty late game.

>>561438843I wish I had a cool eyepatch
>>561438843I wish we had stuff like this in the game
I can't help but notice the gradual whitewashing of MC-kun's skin
>>561445453It's because of the anemia
Every time I do anything in this game I feel like I'm probably breaking 5 different NPC questlines and possibly fucking up an ending. Am I? Or is that just paranoia. Anything really bad I should not do / not miss?
>>561449803Just paranoia. This isn't Lords of the Fallen.90% of quests only progress if you actually interact with the NPC.
>>561449884It's probably the opening line about not messing with the past followed by the immediate choice to mess with the past that gives that impression. If it's deliberately ambiguous just for the vibes then I guess that's cool in its own way
>>561449982Just don't forget about the side quests with minor NPCs.
>>561449884>Lords of the FallenI remember when I went through a wrong elevator too early and it fucked up a questline, but they later patched basically all of them to be easier I think.
>>561452474The elevator of death is still funny

>>561470091Bro...
>>561468696I thought the rest of that dungeon would be like that, instead they gave us a maze on the surface...
What other Souls-likes can be talked about here? Just the anime ones? I wanted to talk about the new Lords of the Fallen footage...
>>561473701I suppose any that don't have a general can be brought up at least. Dunno how many people here are interested though. I picked up Stellar Blade at the start of the sale myself but not much to say about it besides that it often makes me miss playing Code Vein 2.
>>561475338Well, I'm liking how they're making the Umbral area even more threatening.
>>561482084I can't believe Lou is made out of the corpses of Valentin's friends
>>561462712all 3 but Lou if I really have to choose just one
>>561084816I’ll do you one better: This thing is genetically closer to us than mice. The more you try to make sense out of the world, the less sense it makes.
>>561484485Hold your horses there anon. Lavinia is our friend. Lou was worth any sacrifice. Let bygones be bygones and let the good times roll on.
What's your favorite animal, /cvg/?
>>561488391Code Foxes
damn there are actually unmarked quests? found some scientist guy in corroded scar who asked for the drops of the slime enemies.
>>561488391Living? Bearded vulture. It's a majestic bird that mostly eats bones, far prettier than its more famous "relatives" (they are actually mostly unrelated, convergent evolution is funny like that). It's also known for dieing its feathers with certain minerals via dust baths.Among extinct animals, it's easily Spinosaurus, but I've always had a soft spot for Utahraptor and Yutyrannus became my #2 quite recently.
>>561489557Yup. Be sure to explore.>>561488391I'm a big fan of the Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis). Very fast, very deadly, very beautiful. A very lovely snake.Since another anon mentioned extinct animals, I will also say that I love the Spinosaurus (Spinosaurus aegypticus). I watched Jurassic Park 3 as a kid.
Speaking of dinosaurs, I'm looking forward to Dinoblade

is anyone working on a multiplayer mod for 2 and how does it run on the deck
currently at Sealing Spire during the Upheaval Era. What's the fastest way to level up adventure Affinity points? Just run around the area killing mobs while farming for Blood Code XP?
>>561527807Pick up dropped items and kill large "elite" enemies, and do every mini dungeon/miniboss you can find
>>561528056yeah that's the issue, i think i've done everything at this point
>>561528262You can grind for Booster crafting which have elite enemy requirements.
>>561527807kill elite mobs and pick up items run around and do some farming and it'll come naturally. Note that you only need one affinity at max for the achievement which is decently easy if you use someone you have been taking with you a lotyou only need affinity at around 75 for their weapons etc. to be available for trade
>>561528617noted. any particularly good spots?>>561528798yeah i'm just trying to bring up Lou to 100 affinity for the achievement.
>>561529137>any particularly good spots?Depends what you're farming for
What do the companions say at max affinity?

>>561576678he's stealing my girl...
>>561573041The good ones are late game. The okayish ones you can find early on. Transformations aren't really that important to be honest.
>>561576875Slander, he would never do that to his wife.

>There's an entrance into the substation I never saw
Most of the art I find on Twitter is yume stuff...

Bumping the thread before I go out to watch a movie.
>>561586129Oh, which movie? Enjoy anyways.
any tips on those bell enemies? I had more trouble with one on luna rapacis than any boss so far
>>561589991>tipsNot really, apparently spells are their weakness but as an unga bunga expert they're more annoying than bosses. It's just a lot of dodging and waiting until their lower their head and you can bonk them for what feels like 10% damage.
>>561589991You need to hit their upper body as they lean down slamming the bell. You can still hit the bottom end to build bleed so you can get ichor but you won't deal damage. There are some spells which will hit the upper body without needing them to lean down
>>561581701Most artists tend to be those or furries
Just finished CV2, it was a surprisingly fun experience. I kinda wish that it would have been slightly longer so I guess I just explore the world tomorrow.
>>561601104>surprisingly fun experienceWhy would it be a surprise? But glad you enjoyed it. Has a strong amount of content for a single playthrough but it's less replayable to a degree.
>>561602630NTA, but open world tends to be a massive red flag outside of Metroidvanias if you want to be generous with the former's term
>>561603239You're right. I was really worried the game was gonna be trash when they first showed it. I didn't start to see the appeal until late Dec/early Jan. Kinda forget such things when you replace that info with your actual impressions after playing.
>>561587692Project Hail Mary. Quite good!
Gonna be tough to find room for AI Limit on my SSD atm >>561605497Been hearing that

Oh no, Arrisa snapped and jumped the DLC queue.She wants it NOW and not in 10 hours
>>561610671I forget how large AI Limit is but it's probably around there. But my SSD is suffocating since I won't uninstall by Code Veins. >>561612697She's not taking any prisoners either!
>>561612697I wish I had money to get the DLC...
Alright now I can finally get to saving everybody. I love Lou.
>>561616460Lou has been doin' a lot of winning lately it seems.
I LOVE LOUAND ALL YOU GUYS
The blood code passives seem a little boring, they had the chance to make a range of effects which influenced builds but all the stuff I've seen so far is generic and low impact. The old Ichor regen on each tick of poison was a cool idea to get people to play poison as a build but that's all gone
>>561621479Given how the game is balanced. I don't think things like Poison need a buff. Ichor is quite plentiful in CV2.
Good night cvg
>>561634593Super cutie Josee!!Goodnight anon
>>561634593Night, bro
>>561621479The Poison Ichor Regen was replaced with Status Effect Application Ichor boost, which is a lot more "active" since CV2 is a bit faster than CV1.There are quite a few more fun passives, like charged drain inflicting Slow or having a constant rebalancing of stats.
I think we should be allowed to beat the designer of those bell NIGGERS to death
>>561642889>like charged drain inflicting SlowThis is one that I saw which looked interesting but then in practice anything worth slowing takes far too many charged drains for it to be practical so you can't even deliberately force it. I've tried to keep my level and weapon upgrades low but I think that's just resulted in the Katana thing being overpowered relative to the rest of my shit. Maybe Speed up for Charged Attacks is interesting? But most of these translate to>Do a bit more damage when doing the thing you were already doingWhich isn't build definingWhere's the novelty like a code which has super low max Ichor(6-8) but can recover Ichor very quickly so you get an accelerated resource loop. Or the code which increases damage of Ichor spenders when your Ichor is very low so you can try to stay low by spending immediately. Or all the Time Crunch synergies, is Time Crunch even in here?
>>561645331Most enemies I could hit with my Slow Charge Drain build got inflicted with Slow on the first attack. Even the big guys. Helps to have Lavinia as a companion.>Low Ichor but gets Ichor quicklyJosee's Blood Code? It also has a penalty for going over the cap.Time Crunch is in the game, but it was bugged last I saw.
>>561645549>Most enemies I could hit with my Slow Charge Drain build got inflicted with Slow on the first attackOK that is completely different to my experience which makes me think it's linked to upgrade levels in some way. It takes me 2 charged drains to slow the most basic mook if they even survive both of them, and on large enemies it deals less than a quarter of a buildup bar
>>561645549>Josee's Blood Code? It also has a penalty for going over the cap.Josee's is poorly thought out and ends up just being a negative. The Ichor restore from melee is very slow and the health damage for overcapping applies even on single drains which take you from low to full, so you can't backstab/riposte/charged drain without hurting yourself. If you spend more time melee'ing because of the recovery then you're going to build up a lot of bleed, then the moment you do any kind of drain attack you're going to go past full Ichor and hurt yourself even if you do it from less than half Ichor remaining. It would have made sense if the penalty only applied to additional hits or drains after you reach full Ichor
>>561614697Uh-hu...
>>561650180Nani?!
>>561651756It's habbeding!
>>561652219oh great I can't start it because I had just started NG+ on my save
>>561647468Josee's final blood code removes the penaltyI personally find all of the self-damage REALLY funny.
>>561653049Same, I didn't limit any AIs for a year.Checking my saves, I have a NG+ with nothing and a Cycle 3 where I am ...somewhere in the game...
>>561653404I just finished the game during the last thread and moved to CV2 now. It'll have to wait because I really don't feel like completing the whole game right now.
>>561652219>>561653049Same...
>>561653404Turns out my Cycle 3 run is almost done.After an embarrassing amount of sinks against Vikas to remember all the buttons, I just have to do Tree Gank, the two best fights in the game and kill god

How much harder is a third playthrough as opposed to the second?NG+ Still felt a bit too easy even without summoning companions desu, might try a full pipe build.

>>561666723Aiiieeeee my mudballs
>>561664826This is what I was worried about. DLC should've been a separate button or something. Shouldn't have gotten baited by /v/ into trying the Hard difficulty mode. Ugh, probably gonna stick with my account and just muscle my way to the ending again. I'm a bit confused on where you need to be to start the DLC tho.
>Multiple spell slotsHOLY
>>561666193The better hard mode is just not levelling and not upgrading weapons. I appreciate CV's levelling system because it doesn't fucking do anything other than make the numbers bigger so you can do an 'SL1' run except you have full access to all of the weapons and build options instead of being cucked into the singular equippable SL1 meta
>updating AI Limit>you ran out of disk spaceNooooooooooooooooooo
LIVE
>The main DLC mode, Trials of War, features its own independent scaling system and is not affected by New Game+ progression. Players can also choose to enable or disable Semi-Void Form within this mode independently, without impacting settings outside of Trials of War.This is good. I'm Cycle 4 which is gonna be a grand ol'time. Really should just be a separate gamemode or something though. Big hassle to play most of the game again.
Man, I'm so used to how fast the weapons are in CV2. Adjusting to a different Souls-like is always rough.
these guys smell of the cutting room

>>561677928I wish that was what's preventing me from joiningI just have a toaster that can only really run 1 on lowest settings
>>561676175For sure, I've been playing Stellar Blade the last few days so adjusting to Arrisa's slow and deliberate gameplay is rough. Things started to come together against my bro here. >>561676235Oskar certainly feels that way. Them just battling you in the courtyard instead having a dungeon in the cool ass building you can never enter smells of cut content. The association just collapsing without Gobbo is weird.
>>561666193Not thaty different, honestly. Took a break while on NG5, but hasn't been that different each playthrough, really. After the initial shock of basic MagMell enemies hitting in the thousands in ng+, you kind of get used to the jump. I absolutely love CV2, it's been a lot of fun, but it's often a little on the easy side, even without an NPC companion.>>561668185I'm kind of the opposite. Lvl 1 runs don't feel much different from a normal playthrough on max difficulty in CV, so you kind of need additional restrictions to make it feel more like a true lvl1 run. In CV2's case, I only used the Guardian Heart blood code, for example. Which helped to keep it feeling fresh!

Feel like they buffed this fight significantly for Hard mode so you're forced to get captured. That or refusing to use the parry makes things much tougher.

>>561768879Well...
>>561768879Sure, helps keep the characters relevant and proves their ability to make money for Bamco.
aight you fags won't shut up about this chink souls game so I might as well ask, is there any reason to get the deluxe?
>>561772089Not really.
>>561772089If Deluxe isn't required for the DLC then no there's no point to it. I'd complain about that but small indie game that was worth it. Have fun with Arrisa's game anon.
Bros...Loskid is a fraud...
>>561772089>is there any reason to get the deluxe?Supporting a small developer that does cool shit like free DLC
>>561776735Why is she like this?
Am I retarded or are Bats just clearly better than all other jails all of the time
>>561778359For me, it's Reaper.Also, check your stats. Bats has fairly low Balance, IIRC.
>>561778359I'd have assumed Reaper is the meta one since it lets you carry a parry alongside a shield or one of the dodge forma
I settled with Ivy because it's the least time lost during the non interactive cut scenes that are visceral drain attacks
>>561778359Bat and Reaper are easily the top two. The other four are fine but generally less useful.
>>561780035Hound is good for poisemaxxing. Ogre, stinger and ivy just... kinda exist.
>>561780190Ogre is relatively fast, IIRCIvy still has its charge drain AoEStinger, uh...
>>561778519Balance is for grug face tanking which isn't relevant if you're playing a sufficiently underlevelled characterBats being able to continually drain over time with no additional casts is massive utility
>>561780190I've been trying to do that with maxed out hound but I still get knocked back by most of the stuff in the game
>>561781525Post your Balance stat
That's a wrap. Man I hated that last boss even with the cheat boosters, but whatever. The whole open world thing didn't really add much to my enjoyment, but the combat, dungeons, story and especially the characters were really good in my opinion. Awesome game. I love a happy ending.
>>561780973Stinger has its knockdown and ability to miss to point-blank range!
>>561784274Last boss is honestly pretty fair, took me a few tries but it's fairly predictable unlike some earlier bosses that have some fuck you endless combos or instant startup movesLiked the final boss more than Soul Savior
>>561784274Agreed! Glad you had a great time.
>>561778359Bats Reaper and Ivy are the only unique jails. The rest are just different flavors of attack animation distance/speed.
>>561787959I don't see the point of Ivy in this game. In CV1 it at least game you good out of combat openings but here you really want to be landing drains mid combat. Ogre and Stinger should probably deal way more damage to justify their existenceIt seems pretty easy to abuse bats + ranged spenders on most of the content in the game
>>561788897Ivy you can poke from a distance but unlike some of the other Jails if you quick tap it then it comes out similarly fast as the Ogre. Other Jails have a considerable amount of end lag.
>>561794529Hounds and Stinger have no useful purpose outside of stats. Ogre falls under that as well with the singular exception of the speed of its drain attack. However the short range counters that so it ends up falling in with the other two. Ivy could also get lumped together with the rest considering the aoe has no real practical usage. Bats and Reaper are effectively the only jails that give the player any reason to specifically equip them beyond statistical boosts. Though even the Reaper is only useful as a parry replacement tool. which makes it all the more ironic that with it already being the single best jail option Bats also has among the lowest equip burden
>>561796195>Equipping for mechanicsYou pick whichever one you think looks the coolest for execute animations. That's the ONLY reason.
>>561796656>looks the coolest for execute animations.Having to see it for hundreds of times in a play through, the only thing that matters is how fast it is.Ivy wins.
>>561796656I wish there were 7 Jail types to go with the 7 weapon types for max autisming but just picking whatever feels right.
>>561796656No. The only reason not to use the Bats meta is balance or burden. That's it.
>>561796195Reaper is also an AoE and does decent knockdown
VOID FORM WAS A MISTAKE
>>561816129Agreed, just unnecessary.
Man, I don't remember Persephone being so easy to kill.
>>561778359I love the Claw for fast, aggressive combat. Too much startup/endlag on the bat desu
>>561796195Hounds are great for applying Slow status>Fast startup>High balance>Further increased balance during attack animation>Hits twice
>>561778359Oh, I love the bats, they're great! The residual draining is awesome! Though, as great as they are, the Reaper is definitely an easy favorite for me, personally! Great drain attack that can be a group sweep, it can parry, and the most style points out of all of them! (sometimes you just gotta go full edge and carry around a really cool scythe!)Although, really, all the different jails are really cool each in their own ways. If for no reason than for the extra cool stylishness to really finish out your hunter's look and feel!

I'm in shock that I finally beat her. Ridiculous.

Holly for the next thread OP?
>>561853216Could I ask for an Arrisa thread?

>>561836278/v/?Try the whole site.There's little difference between baiting retards and genuine ones, making it even worse.
I forgot how GARBAGE the Aether fight is
>>561879726Some places aren't too bad. But the rule of thumb is activity attracts stupidity. Any popular topic is pretty much impossible to discuss. >>561880045Looks cool which I assume was the main purpose.
>>561881234He spends 90% of his time floating out of reach and teleporting away
>>561882083That's a decent strategy but he probably shouldn't have been within reach 10% of the time if he actually wanted to win.
Aether down, finally
>>561881234someone pointed this out in a random thread months ago but a lot of anons are obsessed with failure and everything has to be the next TORtanic. I doubt they even enjoy or play video games. the social interaction or validation is everything they grave for as it gets even worse when some approved streamer happens to have an opinion about something that fits their narrative. Just NPCs parroting the same few things again and again.
And DLC unlocked. Time to actually play it...
>>561889928Damn I wish that was me. Enjoy!
Why does Eirene dress like that
>>561888550For sure, Concord's ghost has inspired a new generation of shitposting that seems to be spreading quite far. Social media addiction being absolutely rampant isn't helping things either. 4chan has a deep infestation problem these days with more and more people running to the internet for endless free entertainment.
>>561900286To be fair, all these shitty new games are keeping them fed on their ownConcord bombed, but so did Highguard or whatever within a slightly longer timeframe and this will keep happening for a while until techbros kill off all AAA publishers
>>561842805>>561845910I need to take more Holly screens
>>561900591Sure but games like Code Vein 2 get thrown under the tracks too. It's tangential yes but it is still wrapped up in the negativity train of dismissing perfectly fine games because of hearsay. Seems lotta people are letting influencers own their brains and Code Vein 2 was dismissed pretty quickly by the influencer cabal.
