What are your hopes and fears for Code Vein 2? So far it looks like there's a lot of cool new combat mechanics?

You can also discuss upcoming Soulslikes and older games of the best genre ever made

I'm enjoying Surge 2 at the moment. I was worried about the change of setting from a megafactory to a walled-off corner of a city but it turned out for the better. It's like if Dark Souls stayed in Undead Burg all the way.

Combat's still not very satisfying though.

This character looked dumb as fuck and it seems to be open world slop, also very little fanservice in the trailer.
But I'm waiting for more trailers

I don't give a flying fuck about anything that isn't made by Fromsoftware themselves, most of these pussy devs don't even add invasions to their games even though it's a major hallmark of the genre. They want fame and glory for making poor imitations of excellent games, I say fuck them.

fromsoft sanitized the invasion system in elden ring. You will never have a proper invasion system again

>>714467717
If you summon you're gonna get invaded no matter what, sounds fair to me.

Localization and censorship as usual.

you're coping hard

>>714468137
Coping about what? I got plenty of invasions out of ER, still do. I don't get any out of Lies of Piss or whatever other shitty Souls clone you're playing.

>>714468398
the shitty souls clone I'm playing is called Elden Ring

I think his point is that you don't get 1v1s against resource starved players, while you yourself get half health and no estus. Invading used to be fun in a thrilling way for both players.

>>714470345
I wish. There are a lot of attacks you can't parry, so it's not you can sit there and fish parries all day either.

>>714466849
Absolutely nailed that comparison. Surge 2 really does feel like you're stuck in the Undead Burg, except everyone's got robot legs and a grudge. I liked the limb-targeting mechanic on paper, but it never really hit that crunchy, satisfying rhythm. Combat feels like trying to play Sekiro underwater. At least the city setting gave it a better atmosphere than the first, but they still couldn’t craft bossfights to save their lives.
