I wasn’t expecting that but same fam

Definitely the feels! This game has officially beaten Dark Souls and BloodBourne in the Sad Story department.

Dark souls story isn't to player directly but deeply code vein still telling the backstory of character straight to player.

@@scrollkeeper5272 *cough cough* artorias and sif *cough cough*

Nicola and Eva was the hardest man. yep, im talking about the feels. :'(

Ikr!!!😭💔✨

True

He didn't deserve to die this way.

RIP Oliver... The world is a cruel place my friend... Hope he finds peace somewhere..

"I guess this is it... Reap what you sow. But, I'm glad that one of us gets to live." 😥

Same. That hit me pretty good.

When the piano note backstab you...

The saddest thing....😑😢 *You must sacrifice something to gain something*

That part hit me right in the feels.

That was when I heard about Camilla's backstory :/ or even when Coco said she had a son and couldn't remember him :'(

Omg, I didn't even think about the memory diving as flashbacks. DAMN YOU ANIME!

@Channel07 No one said it was new.

@Channel07 more like fucking invasion with the losts bringing bag of onions with them.

10/10 would cri in protagonist.

Honest tho if most animes did flashbacks half as well as this game I wouldn't bitch about them all the time Although I guess this game had the fact that part of its entire premise is collecting memories going for it

Aye he was a good Lad sad to see him corrupted

I recognize that insignia! That's the Chain insignia from Pandora Hearts!

@@Patrick-bn5rp Indeed it is 👍

Ay this gave me tingles

Bro. That hit me cuz he just wanted one of us to live lol

Facts

Same Felt like crap for killing him but had to be done

@@vtuberlifeonfleek He did one last good deed before he went. So I went all in on that fight. Respect for Oliver.

How can you feel bad for oliver? It was just generic anime trope. The first guy that helps you goes insane and oh no, i am supposed to cut down the guy i knew for 10 minutes, which i feel zero connection to, whatsoever. I slaughtered that dude down and didnt think back on it, its not sad, the dude was there for merely a few minutes.

Facts

@@lolwero Seriously, I can't quite describe it but there's something genius about the combination of the piano and cello there... It's like the music is saying "man things are really going to shit" but in a more subtle and sombre way. I really can't do the music in this game justice with my words but any song that can tell a story with just its melody is 11/10 for me

Just have your character look like Oliver, change the name to Oliver, and ignore everything between meeting and fighting Oliver. Oliver is now the main character.

Hieu Dang I mean he did in my play through with his ability’s he gave me the strength to make it to the end and see a better world freed from the lost I just wish he was able to see it

Same now I don’t feel safe n i am worry about the other characters

Dont worry bruh oliver lives on in you as a blood code xD

don't worry bro he live in u character as a blood code.

And also a jagged throwing shield that would make even Captain America jealous.

Lmao! I remember when after I fought him a few times, I muttered "homeboy was not kidding about flying lol..."

I nearly died near the end of his fight because I noticed the jetpack and was like: "HE GOT IT! HE REALLY DID!"

@DeathWish so you have chosen death

I hate kid, especially a kid with waifu sister.

I went into this game with low expectations but not even half way through ng+ and I am already in shambles

This, I actually teared up at that the end of his memories, it was really damn sad to see and how his friends wanted to do everythinh to protect Yakumo as well

Him and Riki had a naruto and sasuke thing going on

Im gonna be rolling on the floor when I have to abandon his female friend for the queen blood code

I thought riki was an asshole but then he fucking went and actually sacrificed himself for our boi yakumo because he believed in yakumo this entire time

naberu i was like “don’t worry, i got this...”

This was funny and heartbreaking at the same time

There is a reason I did not play this game twice. The same goes for Undertale.

Yeah muh best girl Lo

The bad end is like massive fuuuuck

TK月 Yep, I just finished the bad ending, and this song plays, I felt like trash. Of course I didn’t record all of it so I’m probably going to have to do it again so I can record it all with all of my characters.

Good End is not good because it sacrifices best girl :c

It worked perfectly with every vestige

@@gatekeeper7211 Agreed! Each variation of this song hits the soul

i never get tired of this song

Same here, this song is a big reason why I even went after the memories, and when I got to the end of the memory I would just sit and listen to the music

Sadly, I cant say the same. This is why Oliver's Vestige hit the hardest for me. Great companion, great guy, met with tragedy. And it being my first time hearing this track really makes it hit so much harder.

its perfection

dont forget fun uncle tokyo ghoul

You said NieR , it’s make me cry ToT

all while granpapi Monster Hunter is returning years after from an over seas job

it's literally in God Eater universe

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT, I DON'T NEED MORE HEARTBREAK!!!

Oh this is called DONUT jellyfilled are my favourite :D

@@xiii0trapper773 Oof. Imagine if 4Kidz or whoever made that atrocious meme was in charge of Code Vein and we end up with that sad *spoiler* riceball scene (where the characters now say jelly-filled donuts instead of riceball) Do we cry or laugh?

Thought you was talking about the mmo onigiri... I was getting Vietnam flashbacks on mags and droprates and bosses that take like fucking billions of HP to kill... No beyond billions like 999999999999 damage and they eat that shit like it's a snack. LIKE WTF. HOW!!? WHY!!? FIX YOUR FUCKING GAME CYBERSTEP THESE BOSSES SHOULDN'T BE EATING GODS SMITE!

Oh, this? It's called "onigiri." It's a kind of food that's easy to carry around. Not that there's any point in eating food for a revenant. Although we may thirst for blood, we never grow hungry. ...Still, I think that makes eating all the more meaningful for us. We fight, we drink blood, we revive, we fight some more... Our lives are pretty much one endless loop. But every time you go around, you almost forget... that we were all human once. If I completely lost the memory of my human past, I wouldn't be me anymore. I'd just be... something in the shape of me. I'd look like a revenant, but on the inside I'd be no different to the Lost. What's the point of living like that? I served in the army, back before I became a revenant. We always used to eat these things when we were out on missions. I guess... it helps me remember. It was a miserable time, but I made some good friends that I shouldn't let myself forget. This stuff doesn't really taste that great, but eating it always reminds me of those friends. So, I guess you could say it helps me stay me. It's been an important companion in my life!

@@Sayorain no

Code Vein and the first Dark Souls both shares the same tragic idea of the inevitable & painful fate of the characters.. damn, that's so sad and beautiful in the same time.. gives me strange feeling..

@@roxaf6696 At least, this time we aren't truly alone in our journey. What companions we have are not nearly as crestfallen as those forlorn souls who made their home near the bonfire of firelink.

Maximills I thought the same too! I was like “THEY LITERALLY PULLED AN OSCAR”

@@Bluelyre The game did a good job voicing many key points of the ai followers. Yet i know many people who played it solo and missed out on the minor rants they have.

@@zongbieapocalypse Well at least oliver did bash some lost alongside you before his mask incident also he somehow spare io while he obliterate the other revenant. unlike oscar who got caught by random trap offscreen

Then the story did its purpose. It reminds me so much of Nier Gestalt. Your choices no matter how simple they may be, Effect how it ends and gives you one fucking hell of a feels trip.

Not gonna lie, some of these actually got me to shed a tear

I cried in this game more than any other

@@dragonhound3706 Nier Automata ?

@@alexandermaier314 it's the game before Automata. Sorry for late response.

me too

It's 2021 now and I still listen to it regularly...

I listened It for all the time needed for the download of the game (ps5 plays the music of the game even if you havent download It yet)

The memory sequence of Louis visiting Cruz in the hospital is one of my favourite "cutscenes" in gaming. And, though the game was a bit obscure about it, I should have discovered it earlier, (The sheer number of things to put in your build kind of kept my mind occupied) but I remember freezing for a few seconds when I noticed her blood code was the same person as the Queen's *bodypart* just without the sad blue eyes, and instead of giving incredibly powerful offensive gifts, giving ones that offer self sacrifice for others.

Cruz started it all she deserved what happened

She didnt start anything the BOR parasite did

Explain how shes the queen then mr super nerd dear god get a life loser

Lol mr super nerd , maybe actually read the damn story and maybe you will find out , and not insult people on the internet for your own ignorance , dear god get a life loser

and the successors unfortunate enough to be in the same world as the thousands of protagonists with 0 exploration skills

And blade bearer, she appeared in a dlc vestige

the successors would like to have a word with you if you restore all their memories

the successors are different because they had relics within them and were snapped out of frenzy early on like Mia and Eva was, Oliver became lost instantly because of the miasma

@@FerrickAnima Mia wasn't a successor though, her little brother was

@@Kagetora- what I meant is Mia went Frenzy but was brought back with treatment

@@FerrickAnima thats Frenzy thats treatable.. Loss is not thats the end result of Frenzy.

Does the theme come with the release of the game?

@@Soxmember69 There are some themes I think you can get with codes

@@Soxmember69 www.reddit.com/r/codevein/comments/d0wnr9/all_links_and_keywords_for_the_retailer/?st=k0t8dj3x&sh=d88c5afe Here's a guide to download some free themes. You have to make a Japanese PSN account, but if you download them onto the same PS4 as your regular account you can use it. But what they're talking about is if you go to the game's icon on the home screen and press down, you'll be brought to the game's overview screen. This song plays there.

He didn't deserve what happened to him... But wait until you see the rest. Carmilla, Riki, Miguel, the successors....

@@SirePuns Was about to say, "What about my girl Carmilla?"

More like what about everyone whole plot is depressing

That's why you fight to change that, so nobody must suffer further.

@@ivorysix2541 Depends on the ending if that actually happens tho

This song fits good with cainhurst or Astral clock tower too i think

Caught me off guard how fast they killed him off

Im pissed. I just fought him in the demo and didnt even realize it was him until the very last of his echos with the "at least one of us makes it" line. Kinda salty now. I actually liked him. For all of 10 minutes at least

It's probably just because it's a demo. I think we'd get a bit more time with the nice lad in the full game, even if only just to make his death even more impactful ;

just imagine how much harder it would be to kill him if he had voice lines though

He was ..a sad character ..But then again, almost everything about Code Vein is sad

i cried too during carmillia's vestiges

Something tells me it's people who are like "eww anime, only filthy WEEBS like that stuff. I'm too cool for that because I refuse to enjoy something because it's not American" sorry, got a little salty thinking about people who are like that

@@elitef3642 feel you xD same here in germany, if you say you like anime and stuff, you get Looks like "what a weirdo, creep" yare yare daze

because the lost dont have Heart or soul

@@SleepyMaelys Well, they weren't really taught that bo matter where you go, there's weird people everywhere you go, and even those you've been know since.

@@SleepyMaelys I know exactly what you mean but for my friends I'm the Weeb and they're nerds so we get along just fine

I refer to youtube user Blackforestcake posted the lyrics in another video. I believe the lyrics are: In the walls, many stories Frozen in time They want to be free In this museum of memories Finding my way I search forever Crystalline fragments of all I see Shining brightly, glimmering Why are they all out of reach And I can't be complete Fleeting memory Turning to ash I can't escape I persist in this futility One more step, I go Cry more now

I def shed a thug tear. I was 1000% in my feelings

I cried when i realized that the memories we were going into belonged to someone, and that every single lost we killed along the way was someone as well with there own memories. That shit hit me. Olivers personal story was terribly sad but when I knew what was going on I was like "damn..."

The Song is sad alright but i dont know if my heart could take as much damage as it did with the combination of "Dweller in the Dark" ending + the Song "Amber Journey" ... that caught me off guard and went right into the feels.

It is touching for sure. Especially if you are playing and very interested in story

bruh ...

wish they did stuff like this more would have been a much more dramatic story

Man I almost cried when they were showing oliver's memories with this theme

Ain’t that the god damn truth?

@@Ask4This wym

We legit fight Oliver again and again if we fight him in the depths, prisoner of the abyss He deserves to be saved and protected like anyone else

I had no idea! Thank you so much for that tidbit!

@@ghostofpolaris Go Shiina, that guy can compose but usually goes for video games instead of anime

And then you end up fighting him again in the depths. Twice. Fuck😢

@@GenshinLover283 I know, I was gutted to kill him again...

You know, it'd be funny if it wasn't so heartbreaking, but the way Oliver turned Lost is very similar to what happened to us during Operation Queenslayer. Our mask is knocked off and we're almost immediately overwhelmed by the miasma, forcing Jack to try and mercy-kill us, similar to how we had to put Oliver out of his misery.

@@HunhowsShadowStalker Unlike Jack, we hesitated, and Oliver died a monster.

I still go back thinking if I could save Black Iron Tarkus or Laurentius of the Great Swamp from DS1. Or at the very least see their last moments.

If this das a bioware game, you can bet your ass they would do it.

Ghost Mist Mia’s will just be getting killed by a fucking a ledge over and over again and me saving everybody but her brother

@@shaun2566 With me her memories would be non-existent as I only ever used Louis, Io, or Jack (for one-shot builds and farming.)

Don't you dare to give this crazy ideas plis, i wouldnt survive without tears

I would slay them with tears, literally... No exception

Being able to save Oliver Collins as dlc please.

"Once you become Lost, you can never come back." As much as it pains me too, hes gone forever guys.

next to Io main partner

@@CylentNite yes, 10000000000% buying it

the ost was great all around.

Oliver, you mean? But yeah... After finding the way out I also returned to look for him but he's gone...

Well, it was leaked a while ago that there was a Code Vein 2 planned by the company. And from what I understand of the story, Cruz was fighting against the mental manifestation of her particular BOR parasite, and it was too powerful for her to win against. And so, it fully took over her body, while she still had enough mental fortitude to be more or less conscious, but unable to fight back as she watched her body kill and destroy everything she held dear to her, likely for years upon years, before she was taken out by the player and finally able to do something other than watch, as the manifestation lost enough of its hold on her for her to create the Attendants. And that really makes her story all the sadder, knowing that she could only watch as this absurdly powerful malevolent force used her body to kill her own family and friends, over and over until most of them would have lost themselves.

@@omnitroid8390 Glad to see that there is a sequel in the works or at least planned at this point, that said I would like to add something to my earlier point since you pointed out a few things to me...while I do understand the entity known as "Queen" may have been acting on pure instinct, and with louis saying "when the Queen...When Cruz Frenzied" I don't think it was a true frenzy the queen exhibits certain characteristics that don't match the typical lost frenzy, (As I understand them anyway) during the fight against Jack and the player she was capable of rational thought and only really zeroed in on the player once your Mask filter (I cant remember the name of these things, I'm not sure if it was ever really specified), was damaged and you became vulnerable, so because of all this I choose to believe that the Queen was a much more complex entity then we know.

@@Dark2857 It’s a purifier mask. I believe one of the dudes in the cell when you first start the game explains it if you don’t immediately go for the mask and then the ladder. Also, of course the queen would be more complex than a lost. They were trying to create, instead of just another BOR parasite, a sort of end-all be-all parasite. And with them not knowing what the hell they were doing, I wouldn’t doubt for a second that they accidentally, in addition to making an incredibly powerful lost, made an incredibly powerful lost that had more comprehensive power than just “kill things”. Remember, Jack also said that the Queen could twist other lost into doing her bidding and protecting her. So project Queen, I believe, was specifically made to try and control all of the lost, and potentially bring them back to their humanity. Or if nothing else, to try and use the lost as weapons, like Mido’s own experiments seem to have led to. Essentially, they made a “Queen” of the lost, so it only makes sense, to me at least, that it would have some form of rudimentary consciousness, if not full consciousness.

yes

Whoooooo that’s a lot of hours dude

The friends I play with dislike how this is the only theme for memories and since they often chain looking through memories in a row they "get tired" of hearing it everytime. The violin is a bit of a meme for sad things now between us :P I don't mind the song though, and I've been listening to it on loop for a while now.

I'm the Queen's knight and i hit (stab) the like button with the force of a trillion suns.
