That outfit design of the girl is rather ridiculous, it's her in her underwear with a long jacket, wtf?

 

[Poppinfresh]

Loved Code Vein so I'm really looking forward to this

 

[JayK47]

Nice. I did enjoy the first game.

 

[Arsic]

First game was ok and I never finish it so I plan to do that with the sequel.

Sequel:

 

[Judge Magister]

I liked the first. I'm struggling to get past the new visual direction.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

might be the worst character and area designs ive ever seen from them and they were already bad with the first game and god eater series

Sequel:

 

[The Cockatrice]

First one was ok, but this looks like absolute trash.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Visually this looks worse than the first. That is inexcusable.

 

[SomeNorseGuy]

Yeah, I'm good. Looks like a downgrade to an already mid game.

Was I the only one who enjoyed the first game? Considering the lack of sales for the first game, I am surprised there is a sequel. Perhaps it is a low budget sequel.

4 million copies sold, according to the Japanese Playstation account on Twitter. If the budget is sane it'll do fine, I'm sure. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out, definitely seems to be leaning into the horror angle more.

 

[Seyken]

This looks DRAMATICALLY better than the first game, and I enjoyed that one enough. Excited for this.

Sequel:

y'know, if they were the only things missing, i'd likely get over it. but they aren't. just about everything looks worse than the original. amazing...

 

[RoboFu]

I never finished the first one as it was boring as shit. So I'll probably pass on this one.

 

[Seyken]

They just released another video with more unedited gameplay from what looks like the beginning of the game.

 

[Sharius]

doesn't environment artstyle look less anime-ist than CV1?

 

[R6Rider]

First one was okay, but the level design was awful. Hopefully they have improved that tenfold.

 

[Sharius]

yeah i think sometime environment in CV1 look like cellshading, while this game look more realistic

 

[KàIRóS]

Ok nevermind, that gameplay presentation sold me on the game, that "assimilation" mechanic to choose if you have party members on the field or buffing you as equipment is a total game changer and makes me wonder why nobody else doing soulslikes ever thought about it, they also added shields, weapons have unique attacks, and you can now have two weapons equipped at the same time, overall combat looks way better in the sequel.

You can adjust the boobs size when you create your character if i remember correctly from the first game

What's the problem exactly?

 

[Stafford]

What's the problem exactly?

I find it pretty lazy design is all.

 

[Poppinfresh]

I find it pretty lazy design is all.

As opposed to the stellar and creative female character design found in Western games?

That's just terrible altogether.

I got nothing against "sexy" outfits in gaming, I just find that particular one from Code Vein 2 just stupid.

 

[cireza]

This is going to be awesome. Loved the first game.

 

[March Climber]

"Code Vein 2 has time traveling elements"

"It's too risky conflicting with the established narrative of the first game, therefore Code Vein 2 takes place in an entirely new world/timeline"

 

[Kataploom]

YES! I'm so happy that this exists!

So you don't like anime design and think it has something wrong instead of assuming it's just not your thing, gotcha

I do like anime in general, not all. I have watched plenty and still watch plenty anime and plenty do have great outfits.

I don't believe I ever said anything was wrong, just that I find the design stupid, lazy. Like, "really? You can do better." That's really all it is.

Hmm I don't think it looks like that at all, I think the first game like better but the problems I see with this one isn't designs, more like graphics

 

[Bartski]

I consider the first one the shittiest soulslike I ever beat, looking forward to the reviews tho
