Code Vein sold over a million copies?

It's not bad for a souls like game at all. It tells a story that I found to be interesting and rather compelling by the end, the combat isn't amazing but serviceable for the most part and the blood code system really lets you experiment with builds, and overall it isn't a bad game and definitely not a bad souls like game.
It also has one of my favorite character creations in a game ever. I'm excited for a potential (and probably inevitable) sequel and to see how they can improve on it.

There where a lot of streamers playing this and like for a whole month so I guess it was popular enough...glad to see it reach 1 mil ;)
Cool and solid game. Played through the whole game with girlfriend. She also really liked the game. We didn't play/bought the DLCs, though.
I actually surprisingly really enjoyed this game. It reminded me a lot of PS2-era JRPGs, plus the combat was loads of fun and character creator was fantastic. The female characters, however, are very unfortunately dressed, with boobs that jiggle in the wind, and I'm pretty sure there was only like one female character in the entire game -- who was one of the minor memory NPCs -- that wasn't sexualized in some fashion lmao. So in that regards it's shit, but at least none of the male characters were sleazes about any of them nor was their any sexist humor that I recall, and despite the designs I still ended up liking all of the female cast. If you can put up with that and enjoy anime af stories and aesthetics combined with souls-like combat, would recommend.
The Surge is wack bro. And I liked part 2 until they forced parrying in boss fights, which would've been cool but the mechanic sucks.
Code vein and Nioh 1 and the best soulslike. The Surge lost me.
Extremely solid Souls-like with a really great character creator and a surprisingly interesting world/story.
Zero surprise, it was all over the weebspace for a while.
I watched a video once and it seemed pretty vapid.

I admittedly didn't play a lot of it despite purchasing it. I feel bad. I got sidetracked by GodEater on Switch and had hoped that this would come to it eventually, but I'm glad because it had potential from what I played of it.
I thought the game was super fun. Aside from the 2nd and 3rd(4th? can't remember) boss, the game is probably the easiest soulsborne game I've played, but the character creator and some of the game mechanics are interesting. Hope they do a sequel and polish up a lot of the concepts they tried.
It has a small audience here due to negative criticisms about it's art style and character designs(someone probably already said the word waifu), but honestly looking past that it was a blast to play and has a great soundtrack. There are two badly designed areas(one of the two bad levels is kind of a mirror of the other) but overall it was a fun romp and didn't outstay it's welcome. The story was fun to follow as well. I'm curious about a potential sequel but I don't know where the story will go from how it ended.
Yeah I knew it did when NB announced it forever ago. I was also surprised but that goes to show ya the cursed power that is anime (/s?)
I pegged it as a bomb after all the delays and how horrible I think the aesthetic is, but the lesson is... Never bet against anime.
I don't think this is true.

Considering the Venn diagram of people who like souls-likes and people who like anime is a circle, I'm not surprised.
It's an A+ Souls clone. I didn't know about the sales and I don't care, but the game is just sublime.
I just finished it and didnt realize there was a twist. I will say the last 2 bosses are pretty b.s. But otherwise I enjoyed it a lot.
I absolutely hated how the game introduced backstory for the characters. Basically forced walking sections while some voice lines play
What are you talking about?
Nothing at all wrong with the way women are depicted
The twist is that
the game takes place in the world of God Eater. The "Horrors" are the Aragami, with two Dyaus Pita showing up in a cutscene after Mido takes down the wall temporarily.
The character creator flooded my reddit feed for a while. It's been sitting in my wishlist since forever.
Funny, I was just staring at Code Vein in Steam, tempted to buy. Then I saw this thread. I might bite.
Also beat Delver on the first try, with a hammer.
I'm that guy though.
Anyway, Surge 2 is the best Souls counterpart by far, in my view.
I beat Surge 2 playing 100% dodge, never did a single parry. Never even attempted a parry in fact.

It deserved it and probably a bit more. It sold itself as an anime Dark Souls and pulled off most of the things it sought to do. "What if Dark Souls but you create your anime avatar AND travel with a cool guy/girl?" and that's basically it. Not a great game by any means but it's good and I don't regret buying it at full price at all.
So, I bought Surge 2 day 1 and started it having a great time. Then I got to the big robot boss with the long legs, fairly early, that you're expected to parry to beat. I looked up a few walkthroughs that all say you are supposed to parry one of its moves to actually hit him. I tried like 30-40 times and dropped it. No doubt it's possible without it, but it soured me on the game. I'll give it another shot someday.
Still, I ended up liking Code Vein way more. Nobody can touch FROM on level design, but Code Vein comes closest. And it's actually beautiful too.
That's my impression of the game, control isn't great, felt like playing a vita game or something from Ps2 era. Even soul sacrifice was better.
hard disagree. Loved my time with Code Vein, but best souls like is Nioh, then maybe Code Vein.
Ive tried to get into both surge 1 and 2, and something is just always really off, i cant describe it.
Ive got the platinum in pretty much every souls like, except for the surges. I want to like them :(
I played it. Ultimately enjoyed it, though the Season Pass is a huge ripoff. It's what you'd expect from the people who made God Eater. It's an adequate game that's just a more jank version of a better franchise, that also has a shit ton of anime influences injected in. Like a LOT. Big titty barely clothed albino girls and everything.
Create a Character is great though, as long as you're trying to make a 14-25 year old pretty anime boy and girl and nothing else (no facial hair).

Surge is deeper than NIOH and other souls games. The first game has good lore, better combat, revolutionary limb cutting system. I found Surge series better compared to other souls games. Code Vein levels were plain boring hated every part of it. The same goes for NIOH. But surge keeps the souls formula intact. Its levels are interconnected.
I wasn't interested in the game but I'm glad that it was successful enough and that the people who did played it like it.
People were talking some MAD SHIT about Code Vein before it came out, and now I'm seeing the same MAD SHIT being thrown at Godfall.
Never bet against Anime.
