We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Got the tower up and running in the wasteland and am stopping there for today. I'm actually surprised how much I'm liking everything overall, I really liked the way the city level progressed after the demo, not being THAT open but still having different paths and a lot of hidden stuff that was fun to find. Been kinda bulldozing combat after reading GwyndolinCinder mention how strong beta chains are, I didn't realize that at all and jesus. Especially if you get the rush followup, which can also be held so you can pretty much go from stagger to stinger stagger.
Story wise I like the world it's setting up, but Eve has felt...weird. She has barely really talked or done all that much, she shows character during the goofy can pickups and some of her animation flairs, but it's hard to really get much of a bead on her beyond that. She seems to just generically be fighting for the good of humanity which works with what I've seen about the angels and everything but isn't all that much to go on yet, and she has shown pretty much no real emotion towards anything going on. She also has some weird lines with the town NPCs, like being really rude to the informant NPC for some reason out of nowhere. Adam is also bland as fuck.
OST has been insanely good which is also helping tie everything together as it makes this game really easy to just vibe with.

Regarding the DT.
I saw a video of FightinCowboy showcasing that part of the skill tree and he said most of them felt kinda pointless, since you have unlimited energy and can just spam the two most damaging abilities over and over, since one of them makes the enemies fall so you can basically just repeat the same loop.
Seems really poorly balanced, I guess they could either limit the use of the skills to just a single time or add some kind of cooldown, though I think this would go against the "rules" of the game.
Perhaps the most interesting option would be to not give you infinite energy and making the mode last longer, so you could actually appreciate the new moveset.
Np, thank you.
Don't have much of an opinion on the game, but found it interesting that the soundtrack still does that 'fake' language thing that Nier does where it sounds like bits of European languages smushed together. That's nice.
Sometimes I hear bits and think 'oh that sounds very Irish', but it isn't of course
(or maybe it doesn't, I have no idea tbh)

Doing guard/parry earlier than you would normally expect seems to be the trick.
It's still on my physical disc. Sony's ninjas can't touch that!
I still patched the game though, that is more important than some cleavage.
Have you been in the second region of Eidos 7 yet, that flooded area? This is where the music, the entire game actually, started clicking for me. Wasn't feeling it before that tbh.
EDIT:
This track is sooo good:

the audio + visual stings add SO much satisfation to the parry. it rules everytime
CLINK CLINK CLINK
Been getting used to the parry timings but the blue glow counter is wonky, sometimes it doesn't register my input at all
This threw me a little when I starting playing. Don't try to do up + dodge as a dual input, instead just hold forward when you see blue and then press circle when the shimmer appears.
doing the counter when your sword flashes is very reliable for me
You usually gotta look at the blue line on her sword for the correct timing, not the blue circle when it's first triggered.
I'm only an hour or so in, and I've died to more platforming blunders than I have combat encounters. Coming from the precise nature of the Tomb Raider remasters to this is a hell of a whiplash.
Well I'm just watching so can't do anything about that xD
I'd imagine the original Korean VA is probably good.
Really liking it so far and the exploration is just enough that it's not annoying like bigger open world games. However these punks that hide behind walls and ambush you need to go!
Hear for you self :)

Whoever raised their hands and sent me their strength, thank you lol.
Woah finally played some hours and this game is freaking fantastic! The level design with so many hidden paths to discover, the style, the battles and the controls. So amazing when it clicks so well! It was great in the Demo to me, but this is so freaking fun to play!
Can't wait to play more!

Absolutely! Often I don't even attack just so that I have more opportunities to just parry everything until they stagger.
Still getting used to the timing of perfect parries and dodges but it does feel different from other games. Buying the upgrade has helped some.
Very fortunate that I also don't care about it, the contents of the patch were more than enough for me than cleavage/bare legs/blood/etc.
Physical owners still have advantage over this for the true 'uncensored' tho. 😄
I give anyone ideas to resell the game discs at a high price.
Going by reviews 25hrs if you're just doing side quests as you go and not focusing on doing everything. 40+ if you're exploring and doing all the side quests. I'm sure I'll come in a decent bit above that for my first playthrough considering I'm 8hrs in and have only just turned the power on in the wasteland lol.
Best fight so far. The presence of the dozer made me actually use the deathblow mechanic ( I think it might be the 1st one of done outside the demo!)
Multi fights work very well for this game similar to Ninja gaiden.

ed on...but I get the feeling its mostly their for people approaching the game from a sekiro POV. I'm past the point of no return now and its arena/wave combat constantly. That playstyle gonna struggle here.

Did this one have more moves too? I destroyed both so fast I didnt see anything. Hes probably gonna wreck me on ng+ cause I dont know what he does at all
Yeah action games have this trope where they hide the main mechanic. Which is fun and all, but hearing the biggest review site in gaming call it defensive was rough....
I'd say it feels abit tack
y
The resident evil areas? They are so good
While the benefits of the patch outweighs what was changed, I am always against it when this happens. I also find it ridiculous that they proudly shouted it was uncensored everywhere just a few days before only for that happen day one.
I find the game a bit light on blood. The sneak attacks especially. I expected quite a bit more for the way the attack looks.
Imagine being so infantile that you thought a skimpier outfit was more important than reduced input delay, NG+, the ability to turn off CA and Film Grain etc.They literally couldn't go 24 hours with their darling game without dissolving into crying about censorship and trying to rally against it lol.
Thanks for posting this, that's really good to hear. I felt the same way about the demo. Will pick up the full version based off of your and other peoples comments.
Who knew removing like an inch either side of the crotch on a bunny suit would be the kill shot on all these manbabies lol.
Can't say I'm sad to see them go and honestly boobs and bum aside I think they rallied around the wrong game. When I'm there bumping up my friendship level with the girl in town so she'll spill the tea on some gossip and sell me earrings, with the interface lighting up with glowing pink hearts and banners, I'm sat there like "this is the chud game? really?". It's hyper sexualised without doubt but there's also a lot of downright feminine elements to the game these people would usually cry 'soy' over if they saw men interacting with them.
Thank god their golden egg cracked not even a day after it hatched. I'm sure they'll find some new set of pronouns to meltdown over soon.
As someone else said, I don't think these idiots were ever really interested in buying and playing the game, just in using it as a means to troll. So all of this "censorship" pissing them off is just making my experience with the game that much better. The shame of it all is though is Shift Up and Sony turned away a lot of good people who might otherwise be playing the game now if not for the over-sexualization.
Wow ok, much bigger than I expected. I'm someone who doesn't do much side stuff, so it sounds like 20 would be expected for me. Maybe more.
How are you finding the game's difficulty? Playing on Normal?
Not wrong there on any of that, feel much the same. Didn't even need to take it back all the way, just not drive it into the ground.
It's a shame as the game really is great imo, but it will always have that cloud over it. If they ever make a second (if you even can with the story) I hope they focus less on being as horny as possible and more on expanding the elements of personality we do see. The playful Eve that's compassionate but also deadly. The glimpses we get are enough for me to believe there's the makings of a good character there, and half the time I want to like her more than the game gives me any reason to.
I'm finding it fine but I'm really not far in on the whole. I've only done one of the major fights at the end of the first world and I one-shot it but it was a fun fight. The combat is just satisfying to execute and I'm sure be it later on or playing Hard on NG+ the challenge will arrive. For now I'm just enjoying tearing shit up in a cute dress and a whole load of visual flair.

Side quests are a huge letdown for me same as the characters
But then I think it's a Souls game and I don't really play those for the above points so.. The actual combat is nice enough!

I finally found the password to the box inside Bar 99!
It took me like 6 or 7 tries to defeat it lol. I wouldn't say it had any new moves; they just hit harder. Like, way harder.
