Code Vein - new action RPG from God Eater devs at Bandai Namco

[Shackleton]

Nevertheless Nioh fanbois will love this game.

Edit: The more I watch the more I think Sekiro is a masterpiece.

Well I'm a Nioh fanboi and this game is looking more like Lords of the Fallen than Nioh. Can't say I'm impressed with what they've shown so far. I get it's probably an early segment, but that combat looks piss-easy. At one point, I'm sure he'd aggro'd a mob and it was following him around trying to hit him and he didn't even notice!

Looking forward to the Surge 2 more than this. And Nioh 2 more than either.

I'll play it for waifus.

If it plays like the god eater games then I think I'm gonna pass on this one.

I'm pretty sure it's a souls clone not a Monster Hunter clone.

 

[Damned Registrations]

God eater games don't really play like monster hunter either tbh. They're really gimmicky and there's no weapon variety outside the crazy custom bullet system, which looks cool but is actually boring to use effectively.

I meant to say that the god eater weapon play felt floaty and the animations felt stiff. I hope that didn't carry over to this game.

successor of the ribcage is one of the worst boss name ever. that fight looks like a mess too. so much flashy effects with funky hitboxes, the boss straight up shooting fireball in the wrong direction, epilepsy inducing explosion effect. this gonna flop hard

 

[TheImplodingVoice]

I really hope with full release you can disable having a companion with you. The cunt always got in my way during the network test.

 

[Lutte]

looks like typical anime shovelware, which is what bamco produces the most.

 

[aweigh]

I gotta say it's almost impressive how closely the aped every single little fucking about Dark Souls games. Even the run animations!

 

[Theldaran]

Everybody says Dark Souls clone. Didn't check much. Any chance it is a hack and slash like Darksiders?

Its a Dark Souls clobe, check any gameplay video.

 

[Max Edge]

Now this looks more jrpg than Dark Souls. I don't even consider Dark Souls as jrpg.

Similar run animations? Well japanese games are very well known for unrealistic physics and animation.

I played the trial version for a while. First impressions are better than first impressions I had with Lords of the Fallen or The Surge. Got killed by a bunch of slimes, after running around for 30min looking for a bonfire.

Low production values are evident - voice acting is not great, same for animations. But other than that, a lot of Dark Souls stuff - different classes, weapons, weapon scaling, bonfires, losing everything when dying. Using a dagger feels completely different than sword or big hammer, which is good (you feel the impact). It is quite possible that this game won't be a total disaster after all.

Edit: Also, animu fashion Souls (taken from reddit)

the most important thing is the responsivity of the control, how well the enemy moves are telegraphed and their actual movesets etc, which doesnt look too great

 

[cruel]

Responsiveness is good - no lag, quick dodging, character does what you want him to do. Enemy moves are telegraphed maybe even too much. Moveset may not be that great, but maybe it changes later - light attack, strong attack, charged attack, backstab etc.

Review scores won't be great because your companion in the beginning has huge tiddies

Also, music in the beginning surprised me - I was getting some strong Nier: Automata vibes (not same quality, but still).

 

[HoboForEternity]

okay, i will still wait for review. maybe i will give it a chance.

 

[Reinhardt]

Believing reviews in current year...

it dont really reflect much, but taking alot of opinions (including inevitable fellow codexer who will play) will give you some perspective.

or just pirate it but i don't really wanna bother

Better be ready to wait at least a month since crackers are probably going to focus on Borderlands 3 for September cracks.

(amusing they decided to put it on for this but not God Eater 3 earlier this year since I find that this looks much worse despite all the PR it's been given).
