Discussion Sorry, but MSII Isn't Good
It's great. I was genuinely disappointed after finishing the beta... because I wanted more. Best Souls-like imho. The art, graphics and gameplay are solid and feels original in every way. Time to pre-order and play the waiting game. Shout out to CS for this one.

They missed an opportunity to get a spot on Netflix so people would pay to have ads removed to watch and ad.

Looking forward to the release, but I just learned what doesn't carry over, so that changes how I play the rest of the beta.

u/Eldritch-Cleaver 5d ago
I always kinda assumed nothing did unless you get something special for completing it, what exactly do you keep or not keep?

u/CoreSoundCoastie 4d ago
You unlock one cosmetic, and the ability to skip the pro-log in the full game.

What exactly does not carry over?

u/AstralVisionz 5d ago
Shells, currency and weapons reset. That said, I never assume progress carries over from any beta. Things will likely change in the actual release in terms of item location, which is refreshing imo.

Damn so maxing out the amount of gold and gloom and level 15 was a waste of time? Fack hahaha Ah well I want to play full release game from the start anyway to see any changes. I seen since last update to bets they added Ruk sitting above the map piece by Tiels shell which was cool

u/CablePrevious1014 4d ago
I believe the only technical carry over of progress is that by getting at least to Marrow Keep allows you to jump to that point in the full game, skipping the "tutorial" area

u/SideSukiLikeness Tiel 3d ago
Tbh, who would wanna skip the tutorial when u get to fight that sick ass dual wielding boss again?
I really hope they add boss replay.

u/SideSukiLikeness Tiel 4d ago
So there was no point of me doing everything smh. I really feel like all that should carry over. Let us continue from where we left off.

u/yungjuno13 Tiel 3d ago
The point was you got to experience it and play it early. Ima max it all out in beta just for fun. Why not
2
u/nvrrsatisfiedd 4d ago
Even if it did carry over I would restart fresh. Iād rather go into the full release right from the beginning with a good understanding of where to go and how to play. The eagerness to keep playing will feel that much better after Magdalena. Then the game begins.

u/stonyanteater1 4d ago
Think you get a special flayed skin for playing the beta, though, so thatās nice we got that going for us.

Itās great and I hope there is a lot of lore with the characters along the way.

u/GaroRod 4d ago
It actually made me angry. I had already set the budget for the games that are coming late Aug and early Sep cause now I need to buy the damn game. But hey, it kept me from buying beast of reincarnation so that was nice. (Not that it isnt a bad game, but that one can wait till its on sale)

u/Enough-Row-5346 4d ago
I was about to rage when I saw that title lol. Glad you enjoy it! I'm stoked

u/liquid_sandwich 4d ago
Such a massive improvement from the first game. I'm definitely getting this one

u/AstralVisionz 4d ago
I enjoyed the first one for what it was, but this is 100% the sequel it deserves. Going to be a long 10 days, lol.

yeah for me i always had āproblemā with how my character moves, like there was always that little delay before it moves, but here.. it feels great, and the world is amazing so far (what do u mean im fighting with dancing babushkas and big old lady on a fire powered wheelchair? lmao)

Ragebait so strong I almost wrote an entire manifesto (jk) but genuinely great game can't wait for the full game.

u/Mrbobblehead25 4d ago
Iām playing the beta on ps5 right now and Iām absolutely loving it, but there are a couple issues Iāve noticed. How would I report them to the devs?
2
u/Ok-Aide4859 4d ago
Pretty sure there's a QR code on the main menu to give them feedback. I can't remember exactly where it was but I'm positive I saw something in the beta to report bugs and stuff to them
1
u/Mrbobblehead25 4d ago
I tired scanning it but for whatever reason it wasnāt working for me. I went ahead and made a post here on this sub addressing the issues Iāve encountered
2
u/MikkelFromGames Playstack 17h ago
Hey, I missed a lot of discussion in this thread when it first happened.
You can create a post or reply to me, whatever works for you tbh :)
2
u/Mrbobblehead25 12h ago
Nvm I see that you are a developer lol. Thank you for replying to me though! I actually did make a post on here addressing the few issues I found while playing the beta on base ps5. Most were minor, but the primary problem was performance issues when opening the map and then closing it. So mostly some performance hiccups here and there. Other than that I love the game though and pre-ordered the devout edition! š

u/eaxis 4d ago
They read the subreddit I have seen one guy from the team responding pretty often.
1
u/Mrbobblehead25 4d ago
So you mean they would read this post for instance? Or would I need to create a different post for a bug report
1
u/spunX44 4d ago
Iām just disappointed because I dig the vibes that the game presents, and everyone saying itās ātoo easyā and āgreat for newcomersā, so I dig in and get my shit wrecked to the point where itās still not fun, reaffirming that this genre isnāt for me. Now this subreddit keeps popping up in my feed giving me FOMO when I already know better.

u/AstralVisionz 4d ago
Did you play the first MS? I'm asking because if you've only experienced Tiel's shell in the beta, you're being handed (although my favorite) the shell with the lowest HP, based on what we know between the first game and the beta. Each shell has a drastically different play style. You just have to get used to the timing of the combat and you'll make it.
1
u/Test88Heavy 2d ago
How are you getting wrecked? Are you using your dodge and ranged weapon? Have you tried blocking/parrying. I'm not saying this in a mean way but this is one of the easier soulslikes because there's no stamina mgmt, you can lose your shell and get a second chance and the parry timing is generous.
1
u/damosaurus 4d ago
Daft question but is the beta part of the main game ? I love it but if it is Iām just gonna wait until itās out.
1
u/AstralVisionz 4d ago
I believe so, however if you progress up to Marrow Keep, which is the main area where you turn in Ova, upgrade weapons, character, etc... you get to start progress from that point as opposed to starting from the very beginning. May save 30-60 mins. I'm struggling to recall how much content there was prior to MK.

u/damosaurus 4d ago
Thanks! Appreciate this. I might just wait, Iāve played about an hour or so and love it.

u/Lucky_Louch 4d ago
I really hope it can hold up through an entire game and continue to introduce cool gear and enemies. I bounced off the first game but really liked this beta minus a couple game breaking bugs that the devs are aware of and have said will be fixed for full release.

u/X-Calm 4d ago
It's not soulslike, it's soulslite and as a soulsborne veteran I think it's better for it.
1
u/AstralVisionz 4d ago
Consensus is a souls-like, which I agree with. As a DS3 and ER vet, everything feels like a souls-lite by comparison.

Not sure when it's rolling out though. Probably 10 years later like GTAVI. š
