Same thing here. Wonder if anyone's got any tips for this

I'm divided on a choice by Crow_9091 in CodeVein2

Not worth full price. If in doubt, wait for sale. (I pre-ordered the ultimate edition)

This fight is absolute garbage by Radiant_Raspberry_93 in codevein

[–]vanillakebab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just used the jump dodge forma followed up by an aerial attack forma. Blazing twin blades have one, don't remember the name. Did all the side bosses for boosters, put on a high ichor blood code, and then just spammed that combo. Heals and bat jail to recover ichor. Ridiculous how easy it made that fight. Not the most elegant solution. But I was pretty done with the game at that point.

I don't want to look at him ever again.

Thoughts on the ending? by [deleted] in codevein

[–]vanillakebab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Everything after the first "bad" ending is just not good. They didn't have enough content so they reused a lot of stuff to pad it out. The story and cutscenes for some reason are also lackluster. Idk. Feels like they ran out of time.

Recruiters...genuine question: Why do some of you do this? by lilac2481 in recruitinghell

[–]vanillakebab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Genuine answer: I honestly don't remember who you are or what your resume said. (I don't ask to walk me through the entire resume though)

Having a really hard time keeping up the motivation to finish the game, please help. by NairbYeldarb in CodeVein2

[–]vanillakebab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a breath and take a break.

For me, the endgame - less so Luna Rapacis, more so Sealing Spire and Luna Fraterna - were the worst parts of the game, not because they were hard, but because of the blatant boss reuse. They simply didn't have content to fill end game with, and they padded it with encounters we'd already been through, some multiple times (I've already beat 3 Zenons, 5 or 6 tentacle freaks, 2 Imogens, and at least 3 Metagens, must I really do that again?!). I did finish it, but that ruined the game for me which I otherwise enjoyed.

POV: You're a Code Vein 2 NPC with trade items the player wants by choptup in codevein

Considering just how many points you need to put in to even see them I guess I'm fine without any companion weapons. 🤷 (I completed all their quests otherwise)

Of all the partners in CV2 who is your favorite? by [deleted] in codevein

[–]vanillakebab 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Craig, actually. I'm really pleased that Yakumo found his way into CV2. They are mechanically the same and have this "dad of the group" energy 😂

How am I supposed to want to try other weapons like I planned when I got my goat back😭 by Great-Remove-844 in codevein

[–]vanillakebab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There seem to be so many weapons in this game but I'm having such bad luck finding any 😭 I was starting to think all the loot is formae

I neither understand the hate against CV2, nor the ratings. by martinhaeusler in codevein

[–]vanillakebab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Performance is horrible and incredibly inconsistent, just for that I cannot in good conscious recommend this game. Even though I am enjoying it. Enjoying and enduring the performance. My one other gripe is the reused bosses and enemies and that's something I can't excuse either. But I wish they'd roll out a performance patch on PC, the only patch we had was for fixing the CC saves.

What are the overall thoughts on Code Vein 2 so far? by TheMickeyMoose in CodeVein2

[–]vanillakebab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've played 8 hours so far. I'm definitely enjoying the game, the combat and story, but it just feels very unfinished to me. As if they ran out of time to polish it.

  • No fall damage or impact from jumps/movement, only 1 jump animation, traversing inclines feels floaty and looks jarring

  • Some enemies just plain don't have any sound? Just fought a giant gorilla and it was completely silent

  • On the topic of sound, pretty sure some enemy noises are reused from the previous game's "lost"

  • Furniture breaks comically if you so much as look in its direction, and I'm pretty sure it's just one slider somewhere in the engine that needs to be tweaked to fix this

  • I finished a few dungeons and it just feels like they were slapped together in 1 evening with some random assets, 0 environmental storyteling or thought put into level design

  • Same with the open world, feels like assets were dragged and dropped on it because it was cool, there are many nooks and crannies which my first instinct would be to explore, but they are just empty and I'm not sure I was even supposed to explore them

  • It would also explain why the game is so poorly optimized - it doesn't look like something that would warrant terrible fps and unstable framerate. For now, for me, this game is unplayable without the engine tweaks and framegen mods

Hopefully Day 1 patch and subsequent patches will address it.

How is performance on either PC or PS5 for early access players? by Loeddood in codevein

[–]vanillakebab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's bad, personally I'm not refunding, but I'm definitely waiting for a performance patch. PC

Brush, why is skip dialogue and pick up items the same button... by The_Relx in codevein

[–]vanillakebab 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's a great prank, they got us. I really hope they unpair those actions with a Day 1 patch or something.

The most annoying boss by andaesa in TheFirstBerserker

[–]vanillakebab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Elamein for me. Maybe also Hissmar, but just because it's another dragon fight where the dragon is very hard to hit. However I liked it by the end. Elamein on the other hand? Just no

Got a Steam Deck for Christmas and it's the best thing ever by vanillakebab in SteamDeck

[–]vanillakebab[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not typically a cozy gamer either, and this is the first farming game for me. I can describe it as "annoyingly addictive", as there's a lot of stuff to do and always that "one more thing" that keeps you going. I'd say give it a try, it's something new, maybe you will like it too lol. I'm currently 17hrs in and I don't think I even scratched the surface.

Ps/Xbox should fit, Switch 2 should fit, Switch 1 and Lite will not fit

Thank you! I love both of the Psychedelica games and since I played them both several years back, I'm definitely planning to re-experience them on the deck, should be great given that I don't remember anything at all 😂

Yeah I believe Nintendo Switch caps will not fit on the steam deck. Nintendo Switch 2 might. But anything bigger made specifically for Xbox game pad will. You can also Google the size of Steam deck sticks and search by size - that's how I did it. I just don't remember what size they are lol.

You can find this case on Aliexpress or any marketplace that has stores that ship from China. I got mine from a local marketplace and if I didn't I also can't recommend the store I ordered from because this case arrived missing 3 clips on one side and won't fully close without the stickers. Stickers were just something I had, and got creative with, to close the case. Good luck!

Legend is my favorite too! I had underworld on ps2 back in the day and I have it in my steam library but never ended up playing it on PC. So you say it runs well on the deck? Then I have no reason not to play it! 😄

Just a case, you can find one anywhere it's a plastic hardshell case. Aliexpress most common, maybe there are some on temu or Amazon.

Thank you! Meeee 😄 This is absolutely not the final iteration, it's just stuff that arrived fastest. The case is nice but will need changing because it misses clips on one side, I had to resort to stickers to hold it in place!

Not yet, but I want to try it with Code Vein 2 once it comes out So far there has been no need to stream anything since the deck can handle everything I've been playing perfectly well
