Unsure if you can still download (or if you're on PS4) but here's the link for the PS store.
Still up it seems (9GB) and yeah I am on PS4.
I will try this later, does the demo differ much than the retail (plus does it transfer over)? Edgy anime Souls kinda speaks to me but not sure if full price is worth it.
yea I wish, especially because my ponytail clips straight through the back of the shawl armor
Quick question. Only an hour in. Do you only have one npc character you can take on missions? Currently got one dude who took me to his base. His name is Louis if I've remembered correctly.
I've not used AI partners in CV yet, but I have a hard time believing anything beats the talkativity of DD's pawns. They would literally not shut the fuck up ever and there were 3 of them.
Yes. You will have more options the further you progress with the story, but you can only bring one (or none at all).
You can pick most people at that base I believe. I don't use a partner though but you get the option when talking to people there.
There are thrust type spears too. Just try out all the spears you get and eventually you'll find one.
I would like that too.
Yeah, I finally got one from a drop. Feels so good.
Too bad that I haven't unlocked a blood code that specializes on spears. Most of them are two handed swords or hammers. So repetitive.
I think the game runs perfectly fine on the PS4 Pro. The only blatant issues I've noticed so far arise when traveling through connecting tunnels between two areas where the new zone is probably loaded in the background.
Other than that I must say it runs pretty smooth. Maybe I'm just slightly desensitized after playing Link's Awakening just before Code Vein, though...

Forgot to mention, your progress doesn't transfer as far as i know, however your player character does.
You're missing out. Game is highly addictive and satisfying.
I finally got a chance to sit down for an hour last night. Remote Play only unfortunately. Though it ran pretty good on an iPad mini 4 with my DS4. I worked through the first area and got to the hub. It feels nice to play through that area, knowing I'll be able to go on further this time. I'm mostly paying attention to gifts and leveling when I feel like I'm getting knocked around by enemies. Hopefully I'll be on more frequently throughout the week. Ugh I feel so late to the party now.
Anyway, anime tropes are fun.
Also, is it just me or does the bayonet feel more powerful in the final game than it did in the demo? I'm wrecking some serious shit with it.

I probably am. But I have lots of games in my backlog right now and little time to play.
Still too much for me :/
I really do hope the level design improves in the sequel, assuming it gets one. I feel like too many of these levels are just corridors.
The one level I actually felt was a huge step up as the "memories" level. It felt a lot more confident in the level design and seemed almost more organic.
Basically, expand on that. More levels like the "memories" level. Less levels like the Anor Londo level.

I don't think it was mentioned and it's probably something that should be mundane, but I wanna give a big shoutout to how solid the co-op system is, at least as far as Password Matching. I convinced my buddy who's not confident in Souls games and has a bit of a weaker PC to get it so we could play together and I've been able to shepherd him through very clean. We drop-in/drop-out of the coop for healing at mistles and such really quickly and painlessly after setting the password and we just beat Anime Londo on his file last night after about 10-12 ish coop hours. He's really enjoying it and a big part of it is how simple and fast it is to jump in.
It's a far cry from Dark Souls 1's shitty system and Dark Soul's 2's Soul Memory, that's for sure. I'm sure it's on derivative of the BB/DS3 PAssword system, but the fact that it just works is a big deal to me.
As long as they have less like Anime Londo, I'm pretty good with the corridor design (though a bit more aesthetic diversity earlier would go a good way). I'm a bit odd in that I like the Arena/Shooting Gallery style of like DMC and KH2, though.

Just picked up the game.
Is there a no spoiler guide for getting the best ending?
I don't want to go halfway through the game and check only to find out I missed something hours back that's needed for it.

At some point there will be girls waiting outside boss doors. Give them everything they ask for.
So for anyone wondering: I just bought the Steam version and the game runs almost perfectly on my GTX 970 + i5 4 Ghz. It completely shits the bed on PS4 once you hit the city center, whereas the PC version can easily maintain 60 FPS at the highest settings at 1440p. I've not tried a higher resulation yet, but I'll do that later. I have rare drops to ~58 FPS but the experience is sooo much better, that I'm completely fine with sinking my money into this terrific game twice.
I really disliked the combat in the demo but it feels a fair bit better on the PC at least.
Hopefully the game does well enough for a sequel, or the 1.5 expandalone stuff they seem to love with God Eater, and they let us customise bodies a bit more, or at least add stuff like tattoos (clearly the engine can handle it based on Masamune)
That glowing ring on the hand is quite a clever use of accessories.
Finished it today.
Man. Game is great, but it is a bit on the long side, and the last few areas / bosses (sans one standout) were a bit on the lame side. In fact, the areas themselves were pretty extraneous feeling, and I think a smarter approach would have been to edit / cut those areas entirely.
Overall, really glad I didn't sleep on this game despite initial concerns. It's a special blend of Souls with a bit of old-school class-based RPG hijinks and straight-up dungeon brawling. I'm loving seeing Souls-style games lean more and more into Diablo-esque dungeon crawls.

It can be a little tricky. There's no "hand" option when selecting where the accessory goes. If I'm remembering right, one of the glowing rings can slide down onto the hand from the forearm setting but the other glowing ring doesn't.
Working with hair accessories takes a lot of patience, lol. I wish we could rotate the camera above our character to get a better angle when lining things up.
These ribbons were way harder to place than they needed to be but that's also because I have major OCD.
Just finished the game after around 26 hours.
Wow what a ride - I really enjoyed it a lot more than I think I would.
To be honest I was about to scrap the game after the slow start but everything unfolds so nicely a few hours in.
The only really annoying part was the cathedral because it was just so boring and long and I had enough of the design after a few minutes.
But I'm glad I kept on playing and was rewarded with the most fun combat I've played in a while.
To switch around skills and gear is so painless and smooth that makes it really easy to play the game in so many different ways.
I had hours where I just switched around stuff to see how the flow will change and it always did.
They also make sure you have enough resources most of the time so I had no issues with the cost - only unlocking stuff permanently from the start is kind of expensive.
Maybe I'll find a script to "fix" that so I can play around some more.
Difficulty wise it was on the easier side as long as you had a companion with you and the game made it really easy to over level.
Coop just did not work out for me at all so I tried it only 3 times - all of which were unsuccessful in one way or the other.
So if your focus is on that I would wait a little until they might fix some of the issues (disconnects/broken story/crashes).
When it comes to coop i just wish all games from now one would work as perfect as it did in Remnant.
A thing I really loved was the vestige system as it reminded me of the dreams in lost odyssey (a game which holds a special place in my life because of those sequences).
Also give the soundtrack a listen:) It's really good!
For me it was worth the money but people just should not expect a carbon copy of souls.
Just watch the fextralife review and if you like what you see/hear give it a go.

There are - in the beginning the light attack of the bayonet is a stab and later you have spears.
Hearing that people beat it after 26 hours makes me think I'm super, super slow. According to Steam I played it for 15 hours now (it's not that I'm dying much, in fact I only died like 10 times so far, but I am playing pretty slowly) and only now just got the objective to check on that statue some people mentioned a couple of pages ago. I want to believe that this is still in the early chapters of the game. That being said: I did clear the first 3 levels of the depths and did some material farming for upgrades. Still in love with this game. It's great.
Some of the later levels were on the short side but I don't remember how long I played when I was at your part of the story.
Really does not matter though:D enjoy at your own pace and let me know what you think once you finished it.
I will now try to find all remaining vestiges/depths and upgrade some stuff to +10 before I will give NG+ a go (which is implemented nicely and can't be started by accident - I like that).

Is the base PS4 version that bad? It runs perfect 99% of the time on my Pro.
Just finished the
Cathedral
So if I want to get the good ending I basically have to
do what I did before the second Cathedral boss and restore all the core fragments via not-Io infront of the Successor boss rooms? I'm guessing you find those core fragments on your way to each area's boss by fully exploring that zone.
Yeah, I'm not going to stress myself and just go with my own pace. Glad to hear that you can't jump into NG+ accidentally, that's really a big plus. I'll make sure to write down my thoughts as I go and of course when I beat the game. :)
I just beat it. It took me about 38 hours to do everything.
Io's sacrifice reminds me a lot of the sacrifice Julius makes in the first part of God Eater 2. In particular Io's final state is a bit similar to Julius's Spiral Tree. With that in mind I don't think Io is beyond saving as the protagonist was able to save Julius in the Rage Burst story.
I wonder if we haven't heard anything really about the season pass because it might have some God Eater influences.
I'm wondering how Code Vein will continue from here. The area enclosed in the Red Mist doesn't seem to big meaning chances are we saw most of what's in it. The surrounding world of God Eater doesn't match up well with the gameplay style of Code Vein. Perhaps there are other Red Mist areas? Or maybe its actually way bigger than I thought and we haven't see much of it at all.

Nah just take your time.
I'm soaking it up. I can see myself easily putting 40+ hours into this.
Did you guys beat
first or finish up
? She destroys me at the moment so I'm checking out the other place first.
