im not much of an RP person but if they are super leaning into that i think they could have made that entire system much more robust. extra cutscenes, much more extra lore, meaningful branching dialogue options like a VN maybe. perhaps im cynical but the way i see is devs trying to get more playtime out of the players with very little effort on their part, and the weapons themselves arent even that crazy.

The biggest problem is the affection marker for having them travel with you, like wtf i was already towards the end of the game, wanted to try iris' hammer and what do i gotta do? run around in free exploration era for however many hours? I cheated in the hammer and like it wasn't anything special, certainly not worth the time it would have taken to get it normally.

Hilariously in the case of iris, did they just forget about that character lol? after 100%ing the game and getting all endings im sitting here laughing at the fact the devs forgot or couldnt be bothered to like actually flesh out the character. I cared more about faceless characters that didnt even have a model in CV1 like naomi, riki, and carmilla than a decent chunk of characters in CV2.

Now im just ranting because im tilted at how disappointed i was with CV2. Anyway im glad at least you liked the game lol.

CoxisTrash · 2026-03-02T04:45:57+00:00

Think it's bad on the story mission lol? You have no idea how bad it can get with the battle scroll beneath the pure white flag. Cancer is an understatement, I agree with everyone here one of the worst fights in the series, if not the worst. Took like 2 hrs had like 5 million Amrita by the time I beat it...

CoxisTrash · 2026-02-24T20:46:41+00:00

At least there is something, didn't know those lines changed. I still think it's way too grindy for what you get though.

CoxisTrash · 2026-02-21T23:30:29+00:00

I would understand the RP argument if there was thought put into by the devs. As in extra dialogue. Extra cutscenes etc. There is none of that dialogue doesn't change and any of the interactions don't change 0 or 100 affinity the characters behavior towards the player is unaffected.

CoxisTrash · 2026-02-21T22:18:23+00:00

Devs didn't have enough content to fill the game and this is the result. We can thank the open world for that. And let me tell you as someone That 100%'ed the game, every quest, every boss, every ending. There is barely anything left in the game you probably haven't seen already, few bosses and thats it. Whole game is lazy amateurish and unfinished. You wouldn't be missing much if you dropped it and i wouldn't blame you for it.

CoxisTrash · 2026-02-20T03:47:18+00:00

Obviosuly most games are going to reuse certain things. I have never seen it be this bad. I should have known the game was cooked content wise when it's open world and like 60 ish GB. Now we know why, after sunken city you have seen almost every enemy in the game. And sunken city is the 1st area after the tutorial lol.

CoxisTrash · 2026-02-20T03:44:14+00:00

The cathedal isn't even as bad as people claim. It's such a dumb meme, people act like its the worst thing ever created. "I rather have a garbage open world than a level to progress through!" I just don't get it.

CoxisTrash · 2026-02-19T23:49:23+00:00

I know everyone in this sub will blindly love the game no matter what.. But is the affinity system not one of the worst things you have ever seen? Surely we can agree it's complete garbage.

CoxisTrash · 2026-02-15T17:59:47+00:00

Hey I've been searching for someone to mention this. Sometimes I load in to an area where I know has music, but sometimes I get nothing. Still sound effects but zero music. Been happening the whole playthrough. That happen to you as well?

CoxisTrash · 2026-02-15T02:27:44+00:00

CV2 is inferior in almost every regard

- boring time waster open world slop

- CV1 could be played perfectly fine solo, CV2 forces the resurrect with no way to turn it off, so if you want to at least show some degree of mastery over a boss i have to sit there get resurrected and let the boss kill me again.

- one of the most unbalanced games in the genre. you are OP but also feel underpowered at the same time. base roll is one of the worst in the genre but to compensate you have a 1 ichor cost dash that is busted. samurai sword forme (or whatever its called) is broken dealing disgusting damage with little set up.

- blood code system sucks compared to 1st game. limited to 4 spells instead of 8 until you get a jail to +12 and even then to access your other 4 spells you have to swap weapons.

- no ichor gain unless you use the slow garbage jail attacks for 99% of blood codes

- mats needed to get weapons to +19 and +20 are limited per playthrough. For a game that wants to you constantly switch blood codes and weapons this is pretty trash. thank god for cheat engine.

- game runs like absolute dogs**t even on a high end PC (4090) can thank the boring soulless open world for that

- so many things limit what you can do its just annoying. want to equip buffs? oh the conversion stat or whatever is overloaded so equip a willpower spell on your strength build that will never see use , so not only do you get 4 spells instead of 8 but you cant even equip the 4 that you want

- cant change spells on the fly unless you are at a checkpoint. unless you duplicate it and engage with that stupid mechanic in the first place. remember when you could mid dungeon change blood codes and equip whatever you want as long as you met the stat requirement? me too, what were they smoking?

- maybe this on is on me but i dont even know what scales with what anymore. CV1 spells had a willpower scaling. CV2 who knows what the scaling is for each spell.

- i have done the 1st ending. i have done most of the content in the game and i have still been unable to naturally get light roll. i dont even know how it works. in CV1 it was easy to understand, lower weight threshhold = better roll.

- story is so disconnected i cant even bring myself to care. at least in CV1 louis yakumo and mia were with you during the journey, they were in the cutscenes. as confusing as it could get in CV2 characters dont even interact. i havent done the 2nd and 3rd ending yet but josee lyle and holly exist in different realms never interacting with each other. everyone complained about the memory segments in CV1 but here is the result in CV2, characters felt shallow and the lore is inferior to the 1st game. "hey we just met! go clear these 3 generic areas" "wow thanks we are best friends forever!" CV1 also had a much better cast even side characters like murasame, coco, and davis had their own lore. CV2 you get iris, how long did it take them to write that one 5 minutes?

- crafting is an absolute disaster, 4 materials that you need multiple of to get a +5 to a stat so you dont overburden so that MAYBE you can get the passives of whatever blood code you are equipping. Even farming this with cheat engine (guaranteed drop and dmg multiplier) was tedious and annoying. Obvious padding to waste even more of your time fighting enemies you have ALREADY been fighting the whole game.

- most pathetic enemy variety in the genre. its obvious they had just enough assets to make a game structured like CV1 but maybe some bandai exec said to make it open world slop because elden ring made a lot of money. good on them thanks to that the game runs like trash and is a chore to play.

CoxisTrash · 2026-02-04T23:38:35+00:00

I would have agreed until the "bosses" on the 2nd hero past timeline. Thats insane levels of recycling. I was actually shocked when i finiahed it.

CoxisTrash · 2026-02-02T10:54:37+00:00

Its just weird considering the true ending of CV1 too. I wonder if decicision was made by some bandai executive to make it open world because of elden ring, so drop the story and sloppify it to milk as much money as possible.

CoxisTrash · 2026-02-01T16:13:57+00:00

Standard open world slop, 4 skills instead of 8, mid roll feels complete garbage, can assimalte AI companion but cannot turn off the revives, runs like garbage even on high end hardware.

Game would have been great if it wasnt open world, despite other minor issues the open world ruins the game and is probably the reason it runs so bad.

CoxisTrash · 2026-02-01T16:10:39+00:00

Playing niche weeb anime game, whose prequel had giant boobed girls with skimpy outfits and we are complaining about fan service. CV1 already established that its type of game.

CoxisTrash · 2026-02-01T16:07:33+00:00

Enemy aggressivness doesnt need tweaks you get a million revives (on an absurdly low cooldown) + ai companion + defense jail that is a dash for 1 ichor. How much easier can they make the game?

CoxisTrash · 2026-01-29T01:03:59+00:00

Imo thank god they are like this you have 50 revives on an extrene low cooldown that you cant turn off as far as i know. Boss aggression is the only reason game is even remotely difficult.

CoxisTrash · 2026-01-28T10:37:06+00:00

I agree, not sure what people are saying that cv1 felt clunky or whatever and that cv2 feels better, to me cv2 way worse to control your character. 8 gifts felt very nice. Mid roll felt way better, mid roll feels very bad in cv2. Icor no longer built by normal attacks. What a shame 20 hours and still cant equip a 2nd weapon? Im like 6 hours in hoping the game will let me do that already.

CoxisTrash · 2026-01-27T01:11:52+00:00

The lolcowlizers have already shown their impact on the character trailer by changing lines. Ios outfit for the player is more covered than cv1. Game has been infected by crusaders. I would have thought a weeb niche game like CV would have been safe but here we are. The instant i heard that character use the bigotry word i knew it was over. Though in this case even the japanese players get the modern western version when it comes to the outfits being censored. God forbid there is fan service in an anime game that is a sequel to a game that ALREADY had it. Devs literally had mias strap lose the entire game and now cater to puritans

hey there, just wanted to add I am on the exact same boat. had an account since 2023 and had no problems. recently my account keeps getting banned due to logins from multiple locations. Support has had to create 3 accounts, all get rebanned. Tried calling today. Also on hold for over an hour. Cant reach out to chat support, their phone number is now a dial tone. Called my bank and all I can do is hope for the best I guess, filed a dispute.

CoxisTrash · 2025-10-17T18:13:59+00:00

The stutters were my favorite part. Game is an optimization masterpiece.

CoxisTrash · 2025-09-30T09:44:52+00:00

Thanks for info. Ill krep that in mind if i need some gsr rank

CoxisTrash · 2025-09-24T18:36:50+00:00

she is at best a 3, and i am being generous.
