I don't tend to revive others accesories unless I just want to create cannon fodder for distraction. The NPCs kind do the same fuction to an extent, but at least they can get on their own for a time and respawn.

The problem is if they all die in the same place you cant really pick and choose what you want to revive hence the image.
Its actually better to keep everyone alive when possible. Makes your life a lot easier, esp on the high rank missions.

I rarely have one dying in the same place, at least not in CODE 7

yup right now i'm playing as defensive specialist i try to keep every alive and raise their defensive up constantly, the barrier seems helpful so far.
Code 3 you guys are way of ahead of me most likely.
That picture really isn't relevant anymore if you leveled up... and unless you play post endgame with ai's.
edit:

At least I have been keep them from piling up this time.

I've really been enjoying the first 5 or so hours of this. It definitely seems like one of the action RPG/hunting games tuned more towards me.
I think it's the thorns that make it enjoyable to me. The increased level of mobility they give you is what was frustrating me about other games in the genre. The fact that gunplay if a viable strategy for most bosses is great too, because I'm not a fan of melee.
The setting is also fantastic, at least from the bit I've played.
That said, I enjoyed God Eater Burst for the first 15 or so hours, too, and then my enjoyment of it plummeted (not even sure why, to be honest), so I hope that doesn't happen here.

Considering all we could do is play with AI with the JP version Id say the pic was a pretty good representation of what would happen on the tenbatsu missions.
Even now if the AI gets corner fucked basically a pile of bodies isnt all that hard to see. The spider in particular with that spin.

we need the sequel localized ;_;
true.. Oh and if you online alone with npc... then this is also true ( its almost like they forgot about this to fix)..
There are flaws and working around them and then there's declaring that the game is fucked up because you can't grasp simple stuff. Its okay to suck at a game. Seriously. If you want to get better go and ask how to get better. Sinners can be handled too easily by sticking to mid-range assault weapons and using the lock on to fly right to them and attack them.
I mean just ask. Maybe its you. Maybe its the game (like the crafting timers being dumb as hell)
Anybody?

what are the odds of a Freedom wars Delta?
Delta has a meaning for Soul Sacrifice....
Δ
Expansion version -
51% yes - 49% no
Gravity Daze has troubled developments, there is no vita games next year, no ss2... no fw's? Seems possible.

Unless they totally rework the whole game I doubt many will pick it up again over here. And I mean complete overhaul with a huge increase in equipment available / enemy types.
If they dont do that then good luck to them. If you beat the game you should have a general hint at what they had in mind. Now if they will actually go through with it or not with the response from the consumers out after the game was released is another story.

after i feed the dogs i think ill start doing missions just online
story ai seems to be retarded even when fully upgraded

Is there a legitimate possiblity of that happening, you think? Especially if Freedom Wars turns out to sell well? Which I really hope it is.

did the game sell well?
i see it's a toss up ;/ cause SSD from what i've read seems to have fix certain issues from the original

If you constantly give them commands they are not too bad. The problem is the genius developers chopped up the AI categories way too much so it really gimps their overall effectiveness. Which then causes the player to constantly have to switch around with the different modes to make them be the most effective.
The game sold well, and Delta fixes many issue(over 100s, global server with japanese) - has new story and tons of new lore to read. It feels very complete. All DLC is packed in, new dlc also in (free), patches add tons of content and mode.
at code 7 (pretty sure i'm nearing the end)
i have to go through some annoying early missions to get items to upgrade my stuff
can't even play for the next day and a bit b/c i had surgery on my left hand.
is it weird that i'm using melee weapons more and more? they are very useful when fighting sinners and sawing off parts and stuff.
and i've been using the white thorn wall more and more since it has a field round it that acts like an abductor shield (it stops projectiles). very useful against sinners and artillery/ weapon attached abductor. (especially if you just wanna use the MG-M7 them w/o worry)
i'm also strongly against using the barbara.
basically i'm doing the opposite of what gaf has taught me, and having a blast doing it :3
also, i tried making p3MC and elizabeth. i think i did a good job

melee is fun
i like grappling onto sinners and air striking them to death
Pretty good, but isn't there a hat more fitting for Elizabeth? I forget what its called or when you get it, but it looked a bit like a fast food worker's hat to me.also, i tried making p3MC and elizabeth. i think i did a good job

You cant compare this to SSD really. Different game with different problems. This one literally needs a massive rehaul and content boost. That and SSD wasnt exactly broken to begin with asides from more bug related issues like getting pushed into the map and getting stuck. Asides from that game still felt the same for the most part besides the new content that was added on top of the original game. SSD overall was a well done package.
Game sold through its initial shipment I do believe but thats expected when folks were excited for the title considering what it looked like and from early demo play. Shit pretty much fell apart after that once people got farther into the title and started to notice the issues with the game design. As mentioned they would need a huge reworking of everything to get folks to come back to the game. Since this is pretty much beyond small tweaks and balancing.
One thing for sure is I sure as hell would not want to play through the story mode a second time and if its using old data just to access the new content, even then wouldnt really be that interested, since this game isnt all that much skill based over just getting higher damage output and hammering away on target. There is no real feeling of accomplishment with the combat as its the same thing over and over again. Which basically is latch onto target and blast the shit out of it.

is the online and Gaf community still playing? i was wondering if i should buy it or toukiden depending on which games you guys play =] but i'm having a blast with FW despite being at code 3.
if it's dead there's always P4G ;P
Parakeetman
No one wants a throne you've been sitting on!
My guess is the Toukiden community would pick up when Kiwami comes out in the US.
Am sure folks will want to mess with the 3 new weapons, since they are actually pretty good.
The toukiden community is dead, the asian community on Delta is still live and I always play it here and there still.
GAF community is on FW atm, online is pretty alive here!
yeah, but toukiden community dried out pretty fast though!
of the hats i own, thats the best one. i think i know the one you are thinking about, but i don't think it fits (unless i don't have it yet...)

Game isnt that hard. So can see the community getting bored of it once everyone clears the title.
Aaahhhhhhh!
Finally! I got an R8 late-bloomer! Too bad it's got two negative modifiers on it (elemental damage and stagger damage down). Guess I better farm up some more EP to spend on removing those.
Farm the EP, but don't spend it on the modules yet lol. Wait til after you've done your elements since modules will be shuffled a lot in that process.
First step should be to get your growth rate to the highest, then level up and advance the weapon to the variant you want, then get your elements sorted and finally modules.

true! it's amazing how online is pretty smooth and there's always a lobby to join. i have zero complaints in regards to online. i need to grind later on so i can play with you guys.

Looks a hell of a lot more like her actual hat than a baseball cap.
then i probably don't have the hat you were talking about...
Probably doesn't help her hat normally doesn't look like a baseball cap at all.
Don't use lock on - the thorns aim is there so just imagine its point and shoot at it. Use guns to break down parts, use melee after when they are stunned or if you have upgraded barbara... blast way through it if you want to.
Seil shared some amazing stuff so look at his posts
I think this mission has 3 waves >.>
Ok, I'm going online for this one then. Lost my accessory to it as well -.-

Nah, I'm doing the same to be honest. I've tried every gun available so far and can't seem to find anything that suits, but the Aftershadow sword is great. Knock the enemy down and hammer away on heavy attack, the wide sweeps hit multiple body parts and does a nice amount of damage. With certain abductors I can also latch onto specific body parts and keep attacking without being thrown off by their attacks.
when you get the option, change the controls to something more comfy.
you can lock on enemies in melee by using L
use weapons you are comfy with, but don't forget about stats.
also: you will hate code2
goddamnit I had Power Up L and XL and Critical Damage up L and XL on my R7 late bloomer night shadow and what do I do? I modify it again and lose ALL FOUR OF THEM. BAH so angry! fuck me
EDIT: Just checked and looks like my last modification returned Power Up XL back to it and also added Health Absorption XL. Along with a 3 medium megative modules >.>. How good is Health Absorption? Sigh this is what I get for now consulting the crafting guide and crafting late at night.

The AI just too good. While SSD AI is above it, the Archdemons still provide with challenge especially on those pacts with restriction like 4 offerings limitation. KT really need to ramp up the difficulty.
I thought the AI was kinda meh. The reason the game is easy is that most bosses don't do much (save for C/D-types maybe) and there are no repercussions for dying, as long as someone is around to revive you. Missions are DPS races more than anything.
I was actually talking about Freedom Wars. I only played vanilla SS.
By good I mean that they hardly dying. They can went through Cninderella's channeling attack unscathed with all of those near randomness. But beside staying alive and giving DPS, they ain't good. Try to break all part on some archfiends with hidden part like Incubus, or Pied Piper tells you that.
Okay, lets not derail the thread further.

The AI in this game is decent although they sometimes make some weird decisions. They seem to have a lot of trouble dodging the spider Abductor for example. They will just stay in range while it's barreling towards them.
God Eater Burst has the most useful AI imo. They do decent damage, can dodge worth a damn and will save your butt many times over the course of the game.

That sounds good, I'm picking this up. The Vita's served me pretty well aside from one or two stinkers.

Yeah the spider was destroying us. I am constantly switching orders to keep them alive. I end up keeping them on "Prioritize Revives" most of the ops.
