So, I'm alive, after a long period of absence, if anyone cares. Anyway, I'm here to talk about Code Vein, a game has been talked about, mostly by omnimegami . The game has just recently released, and if anyone is not in the know, you play as an amnesiac revenant fighting against creatures known as the Lost. That's as much as I know, because unfortunately, I was not able to pre-order the game. Luckily, I have the demo to keep me entertained for a while until I get the full game. Gameplay wise, I believe someone somewhere said it was a mix of God Eater and Dark Souls gameplay. I half expected it to be like God Eater, and it sort of is, but more difficult. From what I've seen, it's more exploration based than mission based, much like Souls series games. I have some experience with Demon's Souls, so I wasn't totally helpless. I never beat Demon's Souls, unfortunately. The Demo is challenging but fun. Each time I die, I'm motivated to try again a few more times until I get the hang of things. If anyone is thinking of getting the game in the future, go for it. I know I will. On a side note, has anyone fallen in love with Io? Because I have. I hope I get a chance to more about her in the full game. {Spoiler} And if anyone tries to spoil me, I will punch you in the nuts! Just kidding. Seriously, though, no spoilers.

she is popular, though my own created female character is better. ^.^ anyways yea great you are around! people are already liking Code Vein more than the soulsborne games, it really does freshen up that genre in great ways the one thin I dislike about CV is the amnesiac trope. I hate that stuff, I find it unnecessary, but anyways, I just ignore that and roleplay my own angle, anyways the game can be enjoyed without really caring about plot elements.

You know, I created a male MC, simply because I wanted to ship him with Io. Now I want to see a female MC and Io together. ^.^
While an amnesiac protagonist can help a player, or the audience in general, immerse themselves in the story, there's no denying that the amnesiac trope is overused to a degree. The amnesiac character can come off as bland and forgettable if not written correctly. I don't really care it myself, to be honest.
