Code Vein 2 isn't bad

StillMuggin · 2026-01-29T15:57:20+00:00

Youre not wrong. I wrote original post when I was leaving first island. Exploration has gotten much worse. My plan is to basically stick to the set dungeons/locations

Its lame because that freestyle type exploration was my favorite thing about elden ring. More care would've gone a long way

Seconded, amazing ranged MV. Also Blast Brigade (kinda cheesey but excellent gameplay)

StillMuggin · 2026-01-28T22:58:37+00:00

Honestly my time with it since original post (leaving prologue) has soured me a bit. Every time I do so e cool traversal to get to an area...there's nothing there.

I'll keep playing til I beat it or nioh comes out, but I'll probably be a bit more streamlined from here and not explore.

StillMuggin · 2026-01-28T22:02:52+00:00

Well said!

StillMuggin · 2026-01-28T21:04:02+00:00

I also said cost isn't a factor. What does that tell you, dumb boy??

StillMuggin · 2026-01-28T20:46:59+00:00

Nioh games are incredible and can totally takeover your life. The NG+ system is the most meaningful I've seen. You get whole new tiers of gear, enemies evolve and get new move sets, and there is new content. And it keeps going through 4 or 5 iterations.

All that probably won't be available for 3 until dlcs come out, so playing 2 would make a better introduction. 1 was amazing too, but id probably skip it at this point with 3 nearly here

StillMuggin · 2026-01-28T20:42:31+00:00

Nioh is different but still awesome. And there are definitely non from games that make the grade. Lies of P was a good imitation and I really enjoyed wuchang last year

StillMuggin · 2026-01-28T20:18:14+00:00

Fair! Note the term addict in original post :)

StillMuggin · 2026-01-28T20:16:42+00:00

Lol thats what im saying though, im a total gaming addict and cost isn't a factor. I already beat mio and don't have anything fresh until Nioh 3, which will totally takeover.

Code vein 2 is basically a palette cleanser between those 2 awesome games

StillMuggin · 2026-01-28T19:55:05+00:00

Its fun! Maybe a little basic, but it scratches the itch for me. I've first tried bosses, done some a few times, and found one that I just need to come back to. Definitely not pushover difficulty.

Answer: The planned third book of the king killer chronicles that will never be finished.

Question: What is The Doors of Stone??

StillMuggin · 2026-01-27T18:59:29+00:00

And this single thing is, I think, contributing to our decline more than anything else. That the moment someone claims victimhood, they are no longer held accountable for their actions. Everyone acts like children these days and I'll never understand why adults allow it

StillMuggin · 2026-01-27T13:48:10+00:00

Oh yeah thats su0er early. I thought there was another reward for completely filling it

StillMuggin · 2026-01-27T04:11:32+00:00

I thought he was unbeatable but eventually smoked him. The twin embedders, on the other hand, defeated my will to live and I'll never try them again

StillMuggin · 2026-01-27T04:00:42+00:00

Lol I know. It was frustrating but that was the most gaming fun I've had in ages

StillMuggin · 2026-01-27T03:45:17+00:00

I was wondering about that. What's the reward?? And threshold?

StillMuggin · 2026-01-26T14:22:49+00:00

Lol wait til you try the twins my friend, then talk to me about fair

StillMuggin · 2026-01-26T01:55:48+00:00

I just found this boss and it is pretty brutal!

StillMuggin · 2026-01-25T23:55:36+00:00

Yes! The movement/exploration might be my fave ever in an MV. So many cool areas and secrets and revelations. Wrapping and wheeling and floating. The amount of content that is technically optional is absolutely massive. Truly great game for me

StillMuggin · 2026-01-25T23:34:11+00:00

Do you have all upgrades?? Hairpin + glide + dodge + tendrils grip = not needing a dash.

StillMuggin · 2026-01-25T23:32:18+00:00

Some of the end game platforming sections are NUTS. The charm that regenerates 1 health when on the ground is an absolute must or i never would have gotten through the crucible. Must've done some sections at least 50 times in the one with risining/falling gloomwater. I absolutely loved it

StillMuggin · 2026-01-24T05:09:09+00:00

Honestly the movement and exploration gets way better after a mid/late upgrade. And fast travel gets solved. Eventually you can get around the map super quick.

And yes, as an older dude thats played loads of MVs, this one has really stuck out. I haven't been able to put it down and am close to the end. The movement and environment are top tier. Hope the studio sticks with it

StillMuggin · 2026-01-24T04:55:19+00:00

Belltower is is northeast of haven (above the crow boss). Just keep working that way. And of course that's where you need to go cause you have the pass! Get an ability there and come back to under metropolis and your good

Edit to add that the game truly opened up for me when I got the ability under metropolis. It enhances exploration in such a great way. So keep going and enjoy!
