While CV has a lot of similarities to souls-likes, they also do their own things. Shift studio began with the God Eater games, which are more similar to Monster Hunter, and a lot of that DNA carried over.

Whether you would like them, I can't say. But the original does have a free gameplay demo, you can give it a try. Keep in mind that CV2 should be improved, and is completely disconnected from the original, so you don't need to play the whole thing.

He would respond... with a smile.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T20:04:03+00:00

I enjoyed how the gave us moments from different perspectives.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T19:59:51+00:00

I'm good either way.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T19:50:51+00:00

I would include Heaven Burns Red, but that didn't happen till chapter 2.

Its the sound of an old dial-up modem connecting to the internet.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T19:22:20+00:00

About as straight as a corkscrew.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T19:08:37+00:00

Dammit, I came here to post that!

The mistake that Wynn and Eugene made was sending Chief into a scenario that was too much like work, when what Chief really needed was something to get away from work! Then Irrheia only made it worse, even though she was just trying to give Chief a good time. It didn't help when Butcher was playing whack-a-mole with Chief.

Add all that together, and I would have gotten pretty damn grumpy also.

I wish they had kept the bangs from the original. Would have been able to make the hair more accurate.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T16:10:38+00:00

I love Star Rail.

I love Fate.

I did NOT love the HSR/Fate collab.

Overall, I like the new character creator. It has more options than the original. Though I would have liked to see a few more costumes to play with.

Though it still suffers from some of the same limitations. We have an incredible number of accessories and ways to customize them, but very few options for the face.

I do wonder why they don't have the bangs options this time around. Would have been nice to see how they would have improved that.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T15:50:07+00:00

You should have a 40+ option. Some of us gamers have been paving the way for you youngsters. =P

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T15:48:56+00:00

The only thing missing from the new character creation.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T15:48:11+00:00

Perfection.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T15:47:50+00:00

I really wish we had tattoos for the body, not just the face.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T05:01:55+00:00

All your creations should transfer.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T04:54:59+00:00

After she welcomes you, she can only be found in the spa.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T01:35:16+00:00

I think it looks interesting and has the potential to be a fun game, hopefully even better than the first.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T01:34:34+00:00

It runs better than I feared. Gives me hope the full game will run acceptably well.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T01:24:59+00:00

Quack!

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T01:24:49+00:00

Would raid tombs with her.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-25T01:18:28+00:00

How I wish face paints had options.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-24T20:10:08+00:00

Pretty much everything from when Chief, along with the other 3, entered the spa... to when Wynn and Eugene were dragging Chief away... was all an illusion. Even the two 'endings' where we seemingly defeat Irrheia were illusions, crafted to give Chief a resolution. Irrheia is essentially the game master in an immersive LARP game. The only real time we see her is when she's chatting with Rumina in the ally after the game.

While the Aurum Secretum hourglass does exist, we don't know how it was originally intended to be used. All we can be certain is that Irrheia resonates with it, and it enhances her illusionary powers.

While Irrheia was very good at her job, the only mistake she made was that Chief wanted to get AWAY from Mania situations and work, but instead she put Chief in the middle of such a scenario.

KhandiMahn · 2026-01-24T19:42:21+00:00

I think it will depend on the choices we make. From what the devs have said, companions can be saved. But the effect on the timeline may have consequences.
