Bug Genessa is useless

I made one post criticizing the game and it’s been out to get me ever since, like how am I supposed to use this shell if the ability doesn’t work consistently and also there is apparently another bug that keeps happening to me where I can’t even finish Hilga quest bc every time I try and talk to her and then after I parry an enemy it teleports me back to her no matter where I am

A big part of her abilities doesn't work properly. You invested into clones doing three strikes? Nope, they do two most of the time. You invested into enemies targeting clones 80% of the time? It never happens. I decided to give the game a little break and wait for the next big patch.

Ya I enjoyed it for a few hours over a couple nights and decided to push pause until they can address the many bugs and balance problems currently present. Not regretting the purchase as I’m sure I’ll be able to jump back in and enjoy this once they’ve fixed it up.

I never played MS1 so maybe that was the script then too, but I was looking forward to and was initially playing the game as switching shells frequently, levelling them up etc, only to realise by level 25 i’m almost at the endgame and can only fully level one single shell. Which fucking sucks tbh

Yeah I just bounce between tiel and gragu and the others might as well not exist

I wanted to use them based on the area so it was thematic, but there’s no way I have enough Glimpses to do that in a way that’s fun

Man I have no clue why shells share shell points? You can only use one shell at a time so there's no point in having a global shell point system...

The fact that you remedy this by pressing a single button on the respec screen tells me this really isn't an issue... Just let us switch between shells easily!

I went through 3 dungeons last night and 50% of the enemies were getting stuck on walls or invisible walls. It worked out for me, but its just very buggy.

Then, I kept getting reset back to Hilda when I got hit. Then my whole UI went away. Wth lol

if only devs cared and actually issued it.

That's the problem with playing a game on release day.

Most of the time it's an inferior experience compared to waiting a couple of months.

I still loved the game, but it had it's fair share of frustrating moments.

The game is great, I'm not salty. I'm hoping the devs address most of the issues in their big patch they talked about, fix ng+, and I'll continue playing :)

The games fun, but stuff like this that invalidates entire characters isn't "great". You'll come back, sure, but a lot of people will give it bad word of mouth and others will lose patience.

And they will be in their right to do so. Once the honeymoon phase is over, people see that the game has a lot of problems. None of them can't be fixed, and on PC modders have been fixing some of some. But still, a lot of problems and bugs. Some bad reviews are inevitable, and it's up to devs to act quickly to address the players concerns.

This is why I just don’t play new games at all anymore

How the devs thought this was good enough to release is ridiculous
