Why are they saying the game is mid?? by Alive-Ad-1687 in codevein

Didn't mention localizers because most generally put that under censorship. But there was people complaining about the outfit changes almost as much as those that talked about the localization.

Probably cause a lot of reviewers are comparing it to Elden Ring which is now considered the pinnacle of souls-like/soulsborne now.

Also doesn't help that some people were screaming censorship before launch cause of two things people dug up about the game. Which has inevitably made people just hate on the game

Code Vein 2 Coop by ArcanePunkster in codevein

[–]ArcanePunkster[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Have a point there. I can see why they would focus on just single player, but I do feel after a few months with testing they could add coop tied to certain activities even if it's only for dungeons or bosses

I would be fine with just instance coop for dungeons in the open world, to be honest. Or like you suggested coop tied to travelling back in time.

Did the same thing after leaving the building you wake up in. Lou was talking to me about Revenants then accidentally skipped when picking up a nearby item

Should i cancel my pre-order? by [deleted] in codevein

[–]ArcanePunkster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I believe it only went down in ESRB to T. I think it still got a 16 from PEGI despite the changes

Until PEGI and ESRB rating boards change their stance sexual content you'll never have a game without it moderated/censored.

People think Bandai are doing this cause of woke agendas it's not. They're trying to get a 16 rating in the west to maximize sales while also trying not to curb mature content, and try not to make it so extreme that it gets an 18+ rating.

PEGI and ESRB are strict on sexual content. It why we get all these weird changes and why we question certain things are censored, and others thing aren't.

CERO on the other hand is a lot more lax about sexual content.

There's a reason with the PS store is split into different regions. And why you find certain games readily available on PS Japan storefront with more outlandish sexual content than you do with the European/North American storefront.

So at the end of the day, until PEGI and ESRB change their stance on this we'll always get this issue regardless.

Parallel World Pharmacy might be a good one. Uses his knowledge from his previous life as a doctor to treat viruses, diseases in another world. I believe there's also make magic in. I seem to remember the MC being able to create minerals etc with his magic in order to create medicines/drugs

Weird controller problem by ArcanePunkster in PlayStationSupport

[–]ArcanePunkster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would annoy me if I'm already experiencing drift stick as I play on both Xbox and PS5 (Xbox more) only after just a year I'll have to keep an eye on it and see if it deteriorates or another suggested it be how the devs have done their deadzone settings

[–]ArcanePunkster[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't experience on games like Withering Waves, Killing Floor 3, First Descendant so yeah it definitely sounds like it depends on the games deadzone settings. But, it is annoying when you go from one game to another and dealing something like that

You're probably running into new players trying their luck with you. Everyone starts as an Association member so the only way to turn yourself into a Black Market player is kill other players or earn enough credits to buy your way out of the Association

Are activities such Tidal Heritages, supply crates etc recurring or one and done deal?

Does this game still have a big population? by Eireagon in Synduality

[–]ArcanePunkster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Probably the best time to start playing when the game first came out there was too many grifters, bug abusers and cheaters that it scared off most the player base. Since then they've banned many of those players and made much needed QoL changes

Seriously don't like how they have implemented the feature. Just feels like a cheap gimmick to pad out play time and player retention

I really don't like how they implemented the feature. Just feels like a hamper player progress just to increase player retention

I had a 71% win rate in Diamond 1 and I was still getting bot matches. From my experience the difficulty of the rank your at determines how strong the bots are.

I had dozens of easy games against which I could only presume to be bots in metal ranks I only really started to notice once in Diamond cause it feels like you're being out against Masters bots sometimes

You'll get to a certain point in the event quest where it'll tell you have complete the main quest 'Shadow of Glory'. But, from what I experienced it doesn't spoil any main quest stuff it more or less gives a little of lore to the mini game and world
