Have you beaten the game? I've at what seems to be the last area so don't click on this spoiler unless you are there or have beaten the game.
The big reveal being that the "horrors" are actually Aragami from God Eater. I had my suspicions but a comment I read made it jump from "somewhat possible" to "guaranteed" and then I saw the scene a short while into yesterday's play session.
I've beaten the game yea.
Though I haven't played God Eater so that doesn't mean much to me haha.
He added 3 more to the inventory after I gave him a bunch of items. It might restock every 50 or 100 points at a guess, because Louis also added more Prometheus chrome to his stock after I traded items for his sword and stamps.
I bought 5 from him initially... I'll try that. I did want to get his sword also eventually. It's a 1 hander right?
You'll get an additional 3 on top of that, I'm just not sure if they continue to dish out chromes if you keep giving them items beyond that.
And yeah, it's a one-hander, but I was a little disappointed because the hanemukuro is practically the same.
I'm still wielding Yakumo's greatsword and obliterator axe - the latter can use the multi-hit one-handed sword gifts and it hits like a truck. That pretty much replaced one-handed swords once I got it, now I only use transformed queenslayers to apply debuffs to bosses.
What debuffs work on bosses? I tried inhibit but the boss kept using his reddish haze abilities.
I rely on venom a lot but I'm honestly not sure which enemies inhibit works on, it felt useless in the demo (although never tried it on the last boss) and I haven't tested it in the main game.
That's too bad that it got spoiled for you, I lost my mind when it happened.
You should check it out then. :)
Didn't notice anything different other than being able to change your partner at any Mistle instead of having to go back to the base.
Can someone tell me how far I am?
I've just defeated Midas or whatever his name is. I know I'm missing three more Io vestiges so does that mean that I have at least three more areas to go? I want tonget the Argent Wolf King's Blade but it seems like once I get it I'll probably almost be done with the game...
In regards to the difficulty in this game, how well designed is it? I do like FromSoft's difficulty curve but I found Nioh to be really cheesy with abundances of one-shots.
Well I'm not sure if my opinions match yours because I liked Nioh's combat and difficulty better than the FromSoft games buuuuut...
I would say the difficulty here feels more like a FromSoft title. I don't remember ever getting one shotted or anything like that. You're also allowed a big range of flexibility for how hard the game is. In particular having the AI companions is a huge help.
The only stand out here that seems a bit odd is that there is one boss near the end of the game that's crazy hard in comparission to the rest. I think its a great boss once you learn it but I could see a lot of people complaining about it because its just so much harder than the rest.
You're coming up to the end of the game. The rest of those vestiges will be found in the upcoming area.
If you solo it, it's about as hard as a soloing a Souls game. Definitely easier than Sekiro.
When are go going to start a "How to make cool game gifs" course at a university?
Also your character looks great.
Fuck it, I bought it. I really should do something about my buying habits, I must have some kind of compulsion. I have a ton of games on my backlog that I bought at full price. Control, Zelda Links's Awakening, Blasphemous, River City Girls, Risk of Rain 2, Daemon X Machina, Astral Chain...all purchased on release day or release week and I haven't played any of then...most of then I haven't even booted.
At least Iceborne and Remnant I played for a fair bit before I dropped, I just hope I actually play Code Vein.

Dats a lot of games. I'm trying to be better about only buying one game at a time these days. Anyways
It took me around 38 hours to beat Code Vein. That comes from me doing pretty much everything. I think one person in this thread said they beat it in about 16 hours by blazing though it. Others are looking at about 24-26. Kind of depends on your playstyle.
I really like how bizarre it looks from this angle. The fact that it looks so weird and out of place really makes the concept work for me.
Anyone had an issue with losing ichor points? Bought a gift that said it permanently increased your spending limit and it did to 35 but after a couple of deaths(not sure didn't notice for a while) I was back to 20
Finished it earlier.
Got the true ending and all blood codes you can get in one playthrough, finished all the Depths maps. Took me 33 hours, was actually really happy with the story and characters. The gameplay was decent enough, could be polished more to be weightier but I enjoyed it. About the only real downsides were weapon variety being somewhat lacking and the fanservicey bullshit with the female character designs.
Man, the CO OP CPU partners are op, just got to my 3rd boss and sat back while the CPU soloed it. Going to have to replay the game with them off, lol.
It took me probably around 8 or 10 hours to really click with me, but now having a blast.
This game is much better than I expected.

I want to try this.
Give me some impressions guys.
Im expecting a 7 game at best but some of the best games ive played are 7s.

The invasions in
are wrecking me beyond belief. The at the perimeter is fucking brutal.

The bosses are great. Some of them are easier than the others, but still I have no complaints.
Yup, the invasions are the hardest in that zone. They're also hard in other zones, but not as hard as that one due to the enemy types and the map design.
Glad to hear that. These fight plus the class/skill system made very interested in this game
Yes, but I found a way to cheese it. Nearby, there's a ladder you can climb. Climb up that ladder and you will see the enemies teleport to you. That teleportation is telegraphed by a red light, so you know when to charge your strong attack. Once they're dead, climb down, kill 'em when they port down. Then climb back up and do the same.
I'm at the boss of this place now. This zone was quite something. I liked it quite a bit.
Anyone else loving the character stories and memory scenes? Because damn, aren't they so well-directed and impactful? I honestly didn't expect that coming from this game.
The memory scenes are probably a bit too slow at times, but I like their presence because it's such a nice change of pace from all the fighting.

The successors stories, in particular, felt so special to me. The build up from the first vestige, then various cutscenes, and finally the boss fights and memory scenes, they're so perfectly directed. I probably haven't witnessed them all as I've just finished the one with Jack and Eva. So good.
Anywhere with an invasion. The depths for instance. Equip the Greed passive.
FWIW I finished it in roughly 18 hours, maybe a bit less. I didn't do everything but I fully discovered every map and took my time exploring, got the good ending. Took my time, didn't skip dialogue or cutscenes. So it seems to vary quite a lot.
IMO that's pretty much what you're gonna get. It's a solid game, flawed, but enjoyable. I do not regret buying it or spending my time on it. The story was intresting and captivating, characters are too (though cliched to a degree). Combat is fun but not outstanding and the build variety is huge.
Well I mean after casting 900 buffs --nearly killing yourself.... Anything can be good at that point?
I want to play this game but I am not a fan of anime, should I still give it a try?
Massive Souls fan btw.

Hooooly guacamole, that's rad. I bet this took a few times, trying to nail down the timing, niiice.
Excuse me sir, this is ANIME LONDO, and don't you forget it!
