AI Limit

Katrina's last branch to respawn at being very far away was quite a bummer. At least she won't have Necro AIDS.

Unless you are like SOME anons that ran entirely past her without saving her.

Hagios is critical path

Tree Courtyard has a great weapon and armor set.

I ACCIDENTALLY CHOSE SOMETHING WHEN TALKING TO CHARON IN THE COURTYARD CUZ MY BUTTON STUCK
AM I FUCKED

She was asking whether you'll continue your mission, wasn't she?
Not really important.

Yes, restart run now!
The choice was an illusion, you can't break the iron code.

You only have one choice there, continue. You can select the other, decline, option but Arrisa will bring you back to the question again until you choose continue.

I dropped code vein after two? hours. I want more anime girls after the pleasure trip that was ai limit. Sell me it.

i can't beat her...

is that windows lol

CV has thrilling, challenging boss fights

This is about as representative of the whole game like Level 150 AIL char with 80 SPIRIT two/three-shoting bosses (since we can't stack so many buffs + buddy buffs together).
Sure you can do it like that but it's something that people bored out of their skull after several playthroughs do.

Don't play it. Boring, too much brown. Copy paste environment. You need anime tiddies? There's a billion sites.

as it so happens, yes i do need anime tiddies

this fight was not fun. it was very badly designed

why are the outlines on your char so bold

How so?

you didnt beat the game

Why not?
She's bound by her sync bar just as you are.
Don't get hit and if it stays low, she can't do half her bullshit.
Shriek Cores might help.

it is kinda stupid that the fight gets exponentially harder, the more you get hit because of her sync gauge and the charge levels.
making mistakes should honestly not lead to making the entire fight harder until someone dies.
the fight is still pretty easy to do without getting many charges, but it's pretty stupid.

people are getting filtered by kino vein to this day

To be fair i boughteyed it at launch, but it didn't click with me.

needing an ally since the bosses are actually HP sponges is bad design

skill issue

needing an ally

Just like you NEED spirit summons in Elden Ring, right?

not the same thing at all faggot

any free thinkers just left ursula there? does she get turned into a generic fire hand mob if you do? that would be kino

making mistakes should honestly not lead to making the entire fight harder until someone dies.

Why?
She's the real final boss.
Legendary Blader who was never defeated before.
Nerfing her to allow for bumbling players to mash and heal through the fight would achieve nothing besides dragging the whole game down and people proclaiming Ursula to be the only proper boss fight.

needing an ally

You don't.
Even without leveling you still don't.
Yes the later is a chore sometimes like the fight with Canoneer and Blade bearer that was designed with 2 people in mind but still doable.
Buff stacking strong.

can't get the parry timing
i guess i could keep redoing the fight... i'm starting to use lighting step on some attacks but it's tricky to swap. and punishes are so risky, her counters are fast

How is it not?
Both are parts the games was designed around, neither are needed.

you're right
bosses in elden ring are much more unfair and unfun than in CV and the summons are more justified there
CV handles it more gracefully by being more upfront about its co-op focus and having readable movesets
another win for code vein

yes she turns necro, drops her gear after you kill it

since when do you start dark souls with a spirit besides you 24/7

everyone but tryhard incels used mimic tear

done.

moving the goal post to DS1

too much of a brainlet to just dismiss your companion

I bet you complain that you can dodge into more than four directions when locked on to something

the last antialiasing options does that I think

jolly cooperation

really disappointed that the final two bosses were easy gimmick fights especially charon

Anon, stop ogling your robomom

omniroll sissies picking a fight with cuatroroll GODS

yare yare...

Swerve SPIRITlets Mud Wizard coming through!

gimmick fights and set pieces should only ever be optional content and stay far away from the climax of the game. they are so fucking boring.

impossible!

True, game should end on a challenging wall.
Just like Allant!

gimmick bosses are great
hiding behind stone was a lot of fun
IMO they should just add a boss refight mode, no reason not to

From my experience, once she is max rank she is slow and you can just range spell blast her down.

is 99 max level

no

For the character?
No.
For skill, probably yes.
I didn't try to farm for level 100, I just sold all GOODS from inventory to reach 99.

thanks.
im already 71

OK grampa

Lemme guess, you got filtered by the cathedral

My guess, Butterfly

people actively derailing the thread by mentioning unrelated games

Actually, I find that allies often make things harder in CV because of how aggro works.

How many Firebearer Codex parts are there?
I am missing some with 10 being highest number.

11

butterfly was the shittiest boss
way overtuned, unless i was actually supposed to fight her later somehow

game is a flawed gem, very janky movement and enemies but i has so much sovl it hurts.
ithe skill system has a lot of potential and i'm still hoping (coping) for a sequel

Thanks.

Butterfly was fine for me, the boss that really ground my gears was the stupid fish bitch with her massive fucking hitboxes that would clip me 2-3 meters away from her actual model

The thing that filtered me for a while was the...big wolf midboss(?) in the middle of the cathedral. That tiny room has no fucking space to breathe, the claw attacks have hitboxes that are like half the room size.

that fight was pretty hard. Saying this as someone that spent a lot of time lost in the laberynth and probably overleveled because of it

Man i hate these Zanzibart questions. Wtf should i choose if i want to kill that psycho slut?

just bee you are self

I SKIP and now there is a test?
Reeee

fuck you mean zanzibart questions? she just told you wtf is going on and asked you a direct question

It doesn't matter, thou must keep activating fast travel points
Complete all the sidequests and you can slap her around later

page 9

oh no no ai cucks what happened?

But it's the best boss in the game and better than 99% of Souls-like bosses??

wee little shitter so happy when thread is slow

lel pathetic even for a Anon Babbletard shitposter

Code Vein

HP sponges

Use your buffs

Pipe only, final destination

Two weeks of back to back threads reaching bump limit without significant amount of shitposting really did a number on imbeciles like you, eh?

This girl is truly gifted.

Just beat Loskid today.
She took a while because I didn't realize she powered up with her sync rate. I wasn't making that connection until I kept getting owned in Phase 2. Once I understood that it was easy enough to parry her and keep her at Stage 2 mostly.
Neat design. The two bosses after that were a little lackluster though.
Fun game glad I bought it.

Anon, she's 12

out of 10

yeah, loskid should've gotten a third phase and been the real final boss not that seed bitch, plus, electricity and my da- i mean the father is much cooler and mogs that nyx guy for real

can't get the parry timing

Don't bother, just evade to your left and towards her. Sid you know that dodging gives you almost as many i-frames as its animation lasts? When she does the backstep+fire slash attack, dodge towards her as soon as she steps back to check.
Loskid is much easier to parry though.

How the fuck does the weapon skill work
Why does it sometimes seemingly randomly do a big slam instead of the big slash

just evade to your left

For me, it's the right, going to central or left just ends up with shit like this

i beat her using a small weapon, bonus, you can sometimes stunlock her against a corner with a sword or katana.
Alternatively get good at parrying 2-3 attacks and dodge the rest, the best way to deal with her first phase is to focus on depleting her sync bar

read through the Firebearer's Codex

look at the conversations between Prometheus and the other AI

he talks to them like they're all morons

they love him anyway

he fucks off to The Sphere ASAP when the chance arises

Small wonder when he has Aether as his father. I wonder if Nyx has a similar middle manager, or if that's what Persephone was?

Hold forward, press attack after the giant blade comes out.

She can also get stuck on the scenery with her dashes.
And transition to two swords is a great opening to chuck shriek cores at her.
Just saying that in my experience it's better to evade right, not left.

It's your left and her right, and this attack was easily avoidable.
On top of that, when you're left of her,

she takes longer to turn mid-combo, allowing free hits on her back

the stationary/fire combo giant slash has a huge safe spot right at her right arm

I actually don't know if it applies to phase 2 because it took me 2 tries, which wasn't enough to learn her moves. Dodge toward her and twice when she spins the mutated arm, I guess.

i learnt to parry most of her attacks however all my dodging was towards her so i could keep depleting her bar

The movement stick
Press it forward to BIG SLAM
Don't touch it to SPIN

It's your left and her right

Disagree, in the webm, if you were a bit more right, you would avoid the slash, hit her two or three times, she dashes back and position resets to neutral.
You can kinda bully her through the entire phase like that because it works for almost everything.
The fire slam you can evade however you like, just be wary of the follow up (which I don't think exists in the first Hunter fight...)
Once she pulls the second sword, things do get a bit more hectic, but she's still full of openings.

Yeah, but parry is easy modo

I'm getting loskided. I think i will take a break and try again tomorrow.

Have you tried to show your faith and clash with your might?

Loskid is easy with caster build also git good n00bs

Or just wail on her with a pipe.
What's she gonna do? Rank 4?

Anyone knows where to find a katana that can parry? I was told near two jetpackniggers, but I only found a heal upgrade there

If you found the heal upgrade, did you miss the backback guy and chest on the way?

It's in the same area where you get heal upgrade (which you get from big void monster).
EXPLOOOORE

what the fuck is wrong with vikas? his dad seemed reasonable enough and didn't seem like an asshole, both in our private conversation and in the conversation with vikas. he even shouted his name as he was falling. are we supposed to hate him just because he's ugly?

Do I ever need to visit an earlier branch to avoid skipping a storyline, besides obvious moments like with keys or soil, or am I safe to keep going forwards until prompted to go back?

He hated the church wiggers

occasionally when a shortcut opens that leads from an earlier branch to a later area
(i can only remember one example - the church area)

I think everything is in the path of progress.
Only iffy part is Withered Forest being optional and ideally before the Cleansing Knight

when you drop down there's a part with stairs going up and down, on the left it's a platform where you need to jump

the dark skinned male and ugly bastard are eternal enemies

That's a relief, Elden Ring gave me an aneurism with its character storylines and travelling all over the map.

yes, this game is pretty straightforward in this aspect. It makes up for it by having a TOOOON of well-hidden secrets, some of which are important, but it never fucks you over quite like FROM's NPCs do

Eunomia's battle music is great stuff. Tenebrous, mechanical, yet still carries the regality associated with the Church faction.

youtube.com/watch?v=kijif1pAL6o

(me)
that is to say, if you explore absolutely everything in an area, chances are you're doing good and you don't need to do some obtuse backtracking. but you need to be thorough

Vikas is VERY retarded

Playing the game right now. It's not Code Vein but it still is pretty good; I just reached the Blader Hunter and she's walling me.

I will never understand why people don't like Soulslik- sorry, rollsloppers. They're some of the most fun videogames out there.

Arissa and Khazan walk into a bar

find cool fiery dual blades

no damage without the fire

I think my stats are just specc'd poorly because I keep wanting to try new weapons when I find them.

Ursula is har-

streamable.com/gib8xl

who has less personality? the autist that only repeats questions or the dude who only wants revenge and to kill chaos

how are you supposed to know to return to the trainstation to progress after talking to charon? i had to look up a guide

Just...
Teleport?

How did the guidemaker know???

HP bar longer than sync bar

defense seals + mashing and executor regains

what level
200?

i have no idea what you two are talking about. im asking a genuine question. in the course of my playthrough i had to look up how to continue. i'm wondering if i missed something that would have prompted me where to go.

the hidden platform going into the tree door is one of the paths leading from there
therefore you go back and choose the second path you haven't explored yet

that's not even a main area though

~175, IIRC.
Oh, you mean you were wondering how to progress. I just go back and explore areas that I know I haven't completed.

Sounds like they'd become good friends.

I had plenty of fun daigo-ing her ass, when I beat her she didn't go beyond rank 2 I think.
Now fighting her without parrying sounds like a trip to the city of pain, which I intend to experience soon enough.

ok. i dont have a brain for remembering shit like that during a playthrough.

i went into that area, went back to the main path then forgot about it until the last boss lol
only remembered it when i was scrolling through all the brances i unlocked

What's the name of 3rd bishop?
Is she even mentioned somewhere?

...without...parrying?

cums

okay honey

no seriously that door was fucking cool, i didn't think we would actually reach it in the cutscene and worth it for all the platforming

This is scratching my non-linear exploration big map itch something fierce. It's what I wanted Code Vein to be.
There's a sort of quietening feel to the atmosphere and the OST. Isn't really overstated at all so far. Am I going the right way is there another way to get somewhere else have I already missed an optional area? IDK and I'm eager to find out.

There are quite a few optional areas that can be pretty large. It's worth going back through places, especially if you find a key.

man this really is

CodeGod BlameEater:
the VeinBorne

even the characters admit it

Yeah I just got the cemetry key, fought some what I assume are the necros theyve been referring to and my second blader who dropped some meaty greatsword. Found a branch so I can only assume theres a boss coming up.
Man, the parry is really fucking strong.

thread died.

lel it's over.

Well, it was fun while it lasted
See you all in Dolls Nest threads

w.t.f
are most players from here friday night party goers and sex havers?
this cannot be

arissa rapes khazan,khazan traumatized4lyf.

I have class...

i only play the game or randomly visit this thread once i die or finish a path.

I'm not sure where to go. I'm at a ruined city area where I took a bunch of ziplines to get to. The enemies are mostly poison guys with red hats. I explored the whole area and the only exit I found is a portal to a temple looking hallway with some giant dude that rapes me. The hallway also has two rooms full of crystals attached but both are dead ends.

Did you encounter a pointy hat guy with a midget at the end of an indoor zipline?

Umm

Doctor's robot I forgot the name of tells Arissa his sad backstory and asks her if they can be friends

"Ummm.. I've got to go now"

What the fuck is Arissa's problem?

Autism.

There is literally nothing you can do to help Assis

Yeah I think that takes me to a group of pilgrims at a dead end, and if I drop down before that I go to the temple portal I said about earlier.

The other way. Did you unlock the shortcut?

Shirley and Goat-chan hanging out.

The gated door? I did that and spoke to the girl that said my gear was shoddy. I also tried ringing the bell with the pilgrims but nothing happened.

Did you follow Arrisa's instructions?
Also, take a left from Faylia's room (right if you exit it) and just go from there.

How did this happen?

I'm not talking to anyone to trigger bad end for last achievement.

NG+ probably
you can't continue till you get Pilgrim's seal from Shirley otherwise

You actually have to talk to her on NG+ as well and get duplicate seal (which gets converted to fragments) or there will be no option to talk to the guard.

Also, Stone is stuck at Spirit Depths, because Shirley didn't tell me Hubert wasn't there.
Uh oh.

"Oh, Arrisa! You want to talk to me? I'm flattered!"

"Assis. I found this log that says you're not a real person, that your life is a joke, and everything you believe is a lie."

"Oh. Oh no."

"I have to go."

Ah, I did something similar

How the fuck do you deal with Persephone? Trying to parry it or get close but it's been a struggle

Get close, stick to her behind

When I parried her I did less damage. game makes no sense.

The Japanese are not sure how to pronounce the word for branch used in the JP version

This bitch is the anti-parry boss, as she seems to take havily reduced damage after a parry and her attacks sometimes initially miss if you're too close, throwing off the timing.
I ended up just ungabungaing her with piercing claw, dodging behind her seems to do the trick. Also if you go that way, remember that her scream is not an attack, it's an opportunity to do more damage for (almost) free.

Running and dodging behind her did the trick BUT WTF SHE HAS A 2ND FIGHT RIGHT AFTER??

[Happy news] AI limit now has more reviews and a higher rating than Khazan

What happened, Khazan bros...

Her 2nd phase was actually easier for me than the first, but the same tactic applies here.
And prepare for a surprise.

Gloves are officially off.

Nexon only paid Indians to shill for a week

Second phase locks Persephone into long combos of swipes with poor tracking, so the "smack the behind" strat still works. The other bosses with second phases are considerably less exploitable in that regard.

I will never understand why people don't like Soulslikes

I think they're usually just okay but nothing special. The kind of game I wouldn't go out of my way to play but not something I would hate either. I only played this one because I heard the protagonist is a cute autist.

I did it! Think it took 3 tries for the 2nd fight? The last segment with having to take cover then use that move on that core thing was really cool! Now I gotta go kill that necro blader

Is butterfly that poison boss?

I never played a souls type game until Elden Ring, it looks cool and all but it's just not my type of game, I prefer Stellar Blade's combat style a lot more, this game is an exception tho, it seems more forgiving

Hunter of Blades is kicking my ass so hard.
But I'm having fun!

Update: I won
Rematch when?

game has been loading for over a min

Wtf is going on? Don't tell me my save is damaged all of a sudden

Just reboot

Time to learn how to parry

Is AI Limit on Xbox, PS5, and gamepass?

Only PS5
It was funded by Sony China hero project

I mean it IS cheaper and better

Oh fuck you gotta pick and choose this time...

there are 3 nuclei you have to do this with. one weapons and the other 2 spells

cute

sexy

design comes from the stuffed rabbit that she's named after

Is there any doubt that the bunny outfit is best?

Osprey hair is better, turns Arrisa into a pink haired Stacy

his behind is weak, even in phase 2

which spell is great for weapon enhancement

flame or electric ?

don't get any of it
equip the nucleus
it's the best in the game for that

Yes

Depends on what you're fighting

-rd

I'm really confused, I teleport from the temporary campsite to the top apron and my game just sends me to the title screen??

What the fuck???
Somehow speaking to Goat then teleporting to Top Apron (where the other merchant is at) glitches the game. In this case I'm softlocked

buy the game faggot

Sell me it.

HELLO SAAAAARR

Game automatically makes backup saves, there's a post on steam discussion by devs

buy the game

Nigger look at the filename, I'm having this issue on PS5

The only reason to take off the bunny hat is to see her natural ahoge.

That whole sequence feels unfinished honestly. If you meet the conditions for the true ending you should be able to do something for him at least, even if it's just trying to cheer him up..

Mad cuz bad

Khazan was a fotm game. This shit always happens, fotm games get huge numbers and then fall off a cliff when the fotm chasers move to the next thing. It's a good game though, but a lot of the levels are boring as fuck.

Very clearly got hit

no Ursula, stfu

It would have been fun if Loskid Phase 2 started with her having 200% Sync.

Fun fight, hard yet fair.
Probably my favorite so far.

I got to the part where you are at the church and the little girl and the brown hunter guy meet. After the boss I went to the little girl and she was hunching over and if you move the camera you can see her butt (cute). But she then started freaking the fuck out about hearing some voices from a mountain and I felt really guilty.
The voice acting from the girl was UNREAL, I don't know how it was in english but in mandarin it sounded like she was getting her head split apart, 10/10.
Thunder step is pretty good, but I still like the parry better.

So the Clergy's Nucleus doesn't give you a weapon? I was really hoping for a cool Spirit weapon.

Arrisa will birth the next generation of humanity from multiple husbands.

What does number + number mean for weapon attack? Is that the base damage plus the upgraded stats?

Spell only.

I assumed it was base damage + scaling damage from your stats

Base damage + Scaling, just like in Souls.

Arrisa had her happy end, that's all that matters

Yeah she gets to be the AI overlord while the shitty humans go extinct

I'm in hagios patir near the end. Saw the hallway of hands leading to brightness and noped out. I've still not managed to get into the arboretum in Withered Forest. I'm only missing one last bit of Soil for Delpha and it's either in Spirit Dephs or Hagios. Am I safe to proceed?

*One husband

Well lad i fucked up and got the shitty ending, i was almost certain i was about to shitluck the true end, must have fucked up at the very end.
Well, time to cycle 2 i guess.

non spoiler answer: you're route locked after beating the boss in there.

i didnt know there was already an ai limit one

Is there any universal cutoff for things?

Beating Loskid

at hunter of blades

when do i get a better seal

Bro, your Seal of Investigator?

feels like it sucks. shill me on it

I beat the game. I didnt expect a positive ending

Alright, done with Khazan and now I'm going to play this. I like to play games blind for the most part but the only thing I want to know is if respecing is in this game or not.

Fantastic for spell spam.
Unlimited and free respec that you can get ~5-6 hours into the game.

Im gonna play code vein next

Not going to lie, I did not expect a soulslike #102543 from a Chinese indie dev to be so full of SOVL and so fun to play.

We should make a chart of how hopeful the endings of various Souls-likes were
HopeCHAD

Lies of P

AI Limit

Bittersweet

Code Vein

Nioh

Everything's RUINED

Lords of the Fallen

Black Souls

??????

Mortal Shell

Where should others go? I don't remember the endings of a lot of them.

Lords of the Fallen

He didn't get Adyr ending

It's not like the world is going to get any worse, and (you) become the second most powerful being in it.

The demons are evil, man. You saw what they did to Calrath.

wait she has a phase three???

Thanks, that's good to know.

What's Black Souls like? I see threads about it every now and then and I can't help but be curious

what i tend to do is explore one path until i find a branch and if i do i activate it and immediately go back so that the enemies don't respawn and so i don't forget to check for other shit

RPGMaker eroge that is HEAVILY inspired by the Souls games, with 1 being primarily based on Demon's and 2 being primarily based on Bloodborne. The second has surprisingly fun combat for an RPGMaker game, and the characterization for everyone is very good. The series is known for its scribbly art style and borderline schizophrenic plot.
My beloved wife is also a romance option in 1, so I am somewhat biased.

Lies of P(enis)

Demons are a result of escalation between Adyr and humanity, he uses them as the only available means of influencing the world from which he was exiled.
It is not explicitly stated, but the main point are

Orius cult which overthrew Adyr is responsible for extreme atrocities which you see all over the game. If whatever they claim about Adyr is real, then they are simply no better than him, otherwise they are outright worse.

Orius itself rewards you for all the things you've done by killing you in a default ending

It is never specified just why exactly Adyr was exiled, and basically just looks like power grab by a rival deity

After everything that happened, despite extreme resentment, Adyr still wants to rule humanity and not destroy it for betraying him

It looks like Adyr is the actual god of humanity who was reduced to the state he's in after what was done to him. He is by no means nice, but other deities are even worse, and him being present gives hope to humanity against the umbral shit.

The first one is merely a good rpgmaker game.
The second one is kinography.
Give them a shot sometime.

Really interesting, saw a little bit of gameplay and it looks pretty cool!
where do I download it?

Zam!

Ask the Anon Babble thread. They usually have a link somewhere.

Why doesn't arrisa have a dump truck ass like 2B or eve from stellar blade
What's the point of this game if she has no ass and no titties

dlsite if you want to buy it, though you'll need a jap IP due to recent events.
Anon Babble normally has a thread up and it's always on-topic in /hgg2d/.

Did I miss a key in the area where the Osprey and Takamagahara dues are fighting to open that door or is it something I find later?

She's more cute than sexy.
It comes later, yes.

black culture is not promoted in china

wew i beat her

thunderstep, piercing claw, and be aggressive as fuck. pay attention to your health and don't panic

i was satisfied to defeat her.

Just listened to Delpha's story in that greenhouse, it's really heartwarming how everyone's stories are interconnected even though they don't all fully realize it

I guess that's what AMNESIA will do to you.

bunny outfit

wow why didn't i buy this sooner
her butt is amazing

is it a spoiler if it's in the fast travel?
i was wondering what the fuck is up with this place
