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

[Max Edge]

I found demo very entertaining. It's like Dark Souls, but for lazy paralytics like myself.

your companion in the beginning has huge tiddies

Do you get to keep her?

 

[Damned Registrations]

(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).

All the more reason to worry about people getting to see the game then. Shit games thrive on not having objective word of mouth spread around them, and people who bought it full price tend to feel invested and defend games more than people who got it cheaply.

Sadly, this game will be infected with Denuvo malware.

Game is really easy, didn't die (outside of falling out the level) and rarely used healing because my controller is fucked.

It's weird and the enemies and levels seem to be worse than demon's souls.

it has always looked somewhat janky. i keep hoping they would polish it better like bloodstained did, but it seems what we see is what we get.

They did delay it a year to polish it. I don't think it's going to get any better. The demo wasn't too bad on PS4. But I'll wait for a sale

Don't know. Given that release is a few days from now I highly doubt it. But fucking Denuvo will ruin another new release. So I'll wait for a pre-played copy on PS4 or Xbox which should be available at my local game store in a very short time.

 

[Reinhardt]

I doubt it. Denuvo.

I may buy at some point mostly because of the waifu character creation https://twitter.com/KyciGaming/status/1175184476722229248

 

[sullynathan]

They're still do backwards that the backstab functions exactly like in dark souls 1 with easy circle strafing.

 

[deama]

Ohh, the waifu creator looks neat.

 

[HoboForEternity]

It's too bad you can't replace one of the main side characters with your own waifu.

I played the first demo for this. Not a masterpiece, it's hardly even good. But apparently two things are enough to make me want to play, it being a Souls-like (with multiplayer), and having respectable character customization. Sekiro was good but didn't have multiplayer, or much of a replay value, and the last game with a decent customization was Dragon's Dogma? Or one of the Saints Rows? It's been a while.
Here's hoping the PC version won't be awful.

And I'm a big homo so I'll be making a male character. It's just going to have to be a smooth-faced anime man, which I'm not a big fan of.

Got a code from a buddy so I'll be trying this as soon as it launches later today. Been mostly in the dark, only thing I've got to lose is time.

Some flaws here and there, but extremely deep character customization, many reasons to replay the game (different styles, skills, weapons) and good combat. Maybe I will buy this after all.

Just bought it. Bring on the waifus.

Some very early thoughts. Character customization is stupidly in depth, I took an hour without trying. There are a lot of systems and classes that will hopefully reward exprimentation and replayability. You've got an AI partner who is actually very effective and I can see dropping the partner being the game's hard mode. I've only completed the tutorial area and part of the first proper dungeon but it doesn't seem too easy to me, that quick loop of resting at a bonfire, slaying everything around the block and returning to level up/unlock skills is there. Yes, it has many similarities to Dark Souls, but the skills and AI partner along with the less hefty movement make it closer to a more typical action RPG.

Visually it has a very nice balance of anime along with more realistic but stylized environments. The first ruined city area gives me heavy Darksiders vibes. Some lowish quality textures but overall very solid. Haven't heard much of the soundtrack yet but it seems to combine genres, you've got some orchestral choirs, then ambience during actual gameplay which ramps up during hectic bits. The jukebox at the base plays some rather generic melodeath, not quite my cup of tea.

Very happy with how my waifu turned out though.

Mechanically this game looks great but jesus christ, the weebiness gives me a foreskin rash. Not sure how long I'd endure watching the art style before puking all over my screen.

Different strokes I suppose, I think it's quite moderate on the animu scale, about on the level of Valkyria Chronicles. There are far, far worse offenders out there.
