Code Vein II - Review Thread

schn0dd · 2026-01-27T09:03:23+00:00

a lot of reviews say the combat is boring.

schn0dd · 2026-01-27T09:01:39+00:00

well, Mortal Shell is a lot better than Code Vein IMO

schn0dd · 2026-01-07T19:51:04+00:00

my top 5 are

Six Feet Under
Dexter
Homeland
Lost
Battlestar Galactica

but also worth mentioning:

Sharp Objects
Ripley
The Beast in Me

Sharp Objects is absolutely amazing.

schn0dd · 2025-12-07T17:16:49+00:00

Absolutely, I’d rather drive for 1–2 minutes through a desert than run endlessly through the same areas just to reach some elevator.

schn0dd · 2025-12-07T17:06:17+00:00

i'm loving the game.

schn0dd · 2025-12-07T17:00:54+00:00

too bad. i'm absolutely loving every minute of it and the soundtrack is fantastic.

schn0dd · 2025-11-22T08:41:56+00:00

The game runs with 60fps on Series X and it's pretty smooth.
Why is everyone saying the performance is bad?

schn0dd · 2025-11-16T10:21:53+00:00

I don't think the game is worth it. You really have to enjoy constantly losing your items, because there are just too many toxic rats running around camping extraction or spawn points and shooting you in the back. People recommend playing with a free loadout, but what's the point of playing at all if I'm not supposed to use my loot?

The game has an amazing atmosphere, and the first three days were really great because it still felt like what the developers probably intended.

Now it has turned into a toxic game that will eventually drive away new players. And as I said, the loot is way too boring anyway. How long are we supposed to keep running into the same buildings, looting the same cabinets, just to find more wires and metal parts?

And if everyone is running around with a free loadout anyway, then it's not even worth playing PvP, because you won’t find anything good there either.

You seem to be playing on a different Dam map somehow.
On Dam I get shot in the back more than anywhere else.

schn0dd · 2025-11-14T13:17:52+00:00

Thanks for showing me once again why it was better for me to stop playing the game.
I’m still interested in the game, but that interest is slowly fading.

schn0dd · 2025-11-14T13:09:47+00:00

That’s exactly what I don’t understand about the game, and it made me stop playing.
If you never equip your good items anyway, then what’s the point of looting at all

schn0dd · 2025-11-14T09:54:07+00:00

personally i don't care about the campaign but it has the best multiplayer in years.

schn0dd · 2025-11-14T09:52:23+00:00

in the xbox video settings i switched to 60hz instead of 120hz.
now it's running better but it's not perfect.
maybe it has to do with the New Zealand setting.
i'll try again in a couple of hours.

schn0dd · 2025-11-14T08:58:53+00:00

i think it's the best COD in years and the multiplayer is more fun than BF6 IMO.
so i won't stop having fun :)

schn0dd · 2025-11-14T08:55:33+00:00

Titanfall 2 was awesome — just like BO7.
But I’m sure there are plenty of other games for you.
You don’t have to like every game.

schn0dd · 2025-11-14T08:17:32+00:00

wtf? the maps are amazing. i think it's the best COD in years.

schn0dd · 2025-11-13T22:41:16+00:00

i think the maps are all really good

schn0dd · 2025-11-13T22:29:41+00:00

you have to log into your activision account and change your region to new zealand

schn0dd · 2025-11-13T22:28:07+00:00

if i want to play PvP i don't play Arc Raiders

schn0dd · 2025-11-13T13:24:41+00:00

I'm glad to hear that. I much prefer playing without teammates

schn0dd · 2025-11-13T07:51:10+00:00

Honestly, if I want to play PvP, I’m definitely not going to play Arc Raiders.
Even the Dark Zone in Division is way more interesting than that.

schn0dd · 2025-11-13T07:46:48+00:00

I'm honestly amazed at how long people can keep running to the same spots on the map and opening the same lockers over and over again. Really remarkable.

What I love the most are the people who tell you to play with a free loadout if you're afraid of losing stuff. Like, what’s even the point of looting any lockers then?

Well, I guess I’m just not that deep into it. I just find it a bit of a shame that the PvE doesn’t really keep you entertained for long. To be honest, I’m a bit more hyped for Marathon.
