God eater 2 weapon tier list. God eater 3 weapon types. God eater 2 best weapon type.

God Eater is a mission-based action role-playing game with a heavy, post-apocalyptic anime aesthetic. Inspired by the Monster Hunter series, it features huge, transformable weapons, a vast amount of customisation and hours of fairly repetitive content. For the first time, God Eater 2 comes West in the form of “Rage Burst”. The refinements are
shared with the pack-in bonus of the original God Eater remastered (as “Resurrection”) if purchased brand new. That should be all the factual information you’ll need. If you want a lot of bang for your buck, then God Eater 2 may be for you. That said, it’s a long game with a relative grind to it and a bit of a learning curve. To see if it’s your cup of tea,
read our full God Eater 2 Rage Burst review. Look and Feel For a game that visually depicts a post-apocalyptic world being ravaged by monsters, God Eater 2 is surprisingly vibrant. Make no mistake though: despite its presence on Playstation 4, this game is portable by nature. This is a PSP game brought to Vita and PS4. It’s not ugly, but it’s dated
for sure. In contrast to the simple fantasy setting of Monster Hunter, Shift’s “God Eater” is thoroughly Japanese animation in aesthetic. Attractive young people wield giant weapons that transform in to other giant weapons. I’m not rolling my eyes here by the way. I kind of love that stuff. There’s a load of outfits to craft, giving your created character a
more personalised feel. That’s always a plus, whether you’ve created a man or woman. And then the Aragami Came…. At first, the monster design seemed repetitive. These “Aragami” came in the typical “this colour means this element” palette swap. Get deep enough in, however, and you’ll start seeing some really interesting designs. Going from
hulking mech-gorillas to a mutated Magikarp, not to mention the ridiculous boss monsters. I was really impressed with the designs of the enemies.
Even the late-game palette swaps can surprise with hybrid enemies appearing on occasion. Battle Arena Limitations There are very few battle locations, in which the missions take place. They’re also fairly small and the camera can cause some issues, especially in its default close-up setting. From what I understand, the majority of the areas are
rehashes of the first game. I can’t speak to that myself but, if true, that’s a shame. In many ways, God Eater 2 appears to be more of an expansion. A good expansion, but an expansion all the same. When you label a game “2”, that sequel assignment comes with expectations.

Expectations I can’t assuredly state have been met for fans.

I, as a newcomer, feel like I’m playing a large, cohesive whole within these games, so I’m happy, but veteran God Eaters might not feel the same way. This may feel like something of a rehash if you’re familiar with the previous game. Inconsistent Sound Quality I love the sounds of God Eater 2.
The voice actors are familiar and memorable, in full English dub. To an extent that shocked me, to be honest. The battle-ready horns that sound as you prepare for your next mission couldn’t be more appropriate.
And then there’s the orchestral rendition of an important song laid over the ending credits, with hauntingly beautiful vocals.

It’s because of the aforementioned high points that the lows hit so damn low.
From punches thrown in cut scenes not making an impactful thud (some even falling silent, to oddly muffled voice acting suddenly shifting to a clearer performance. It’s so apparent on the Playstation 4 that you’ll either accept it or put the game down. That aside, the acting quality is what I’ve come to appreciate. Bandai Namco deliver on the
localisation once more. It’s just a shame about those quality drops.

Some characters sound as if they were recorded on Skype, whilst others seem professionally done. Story God Eater 2 has an interesting story, but it suffers from a slow pace in the early moments of the game. Given that this game can run you anywhere between 30 and 70 hours, “early moments” can encompass many a game’s entire run time. Still,
here’s a spoiler-free summary: Of Blood and Oracles The world suffers at the hands of Aragami: mutated monsters set on devouring all life. These Aragami are comprised of mass “Oracle Cells”: the cause of their want to destroy. Aragami are unaffected by conventional weaponry and thus considered invincible, until Fenrir created the hybrid weapons
known as “God Arcs”, as well as testing to choose who could wield the oracle cell-infested arsenal. Those that pass the test are called “God Eaters” and their job is to keep the people safe from Aragami.

(Note that it’s Aragami, not an Origami. There are no paper airplane threats to the planet). Three years have passed since the events of God Eater. Aboard the mobile fortress Friar, experiments are conducted in an effort to find future members of the Blood Unit: an elite force tasked with the elimination of Aragami threats, going beyond that of
regular God Eaters. As the latest to pass the Blood compatibility test, our protagonist (male or female) is introduced to the newcomer Nana Kozuki and veteran Captain Julius Visconti of Blood. As of late, the red rain has begun to fall across the Far East.
This rain brings about the black plague: a death sentence to those that contract it. The red rain cannot be fought, and even God Eaters of all kinds are at risk if exposed to it. Thus, development of God Arc Soldiers proceeds, with two opposing sides as to whether they should be manned or un-manned and automated for battle. Politics, friendship, huge
monsters that are killed be huge weapons that transform in to huge guns: God Eater 2 clearly has a lot going on. The Story is Good, but it’s a Lot to Ask As I mentioned before the plot summary, God Eater 2 takes a while to develop its characters and get those wheels moving. That said, it’s not the only barrier to entry. A lot of the game’s plot is lost on
me as I’ve never played the original game. Granted, God Eater 2 comes with the original if you purchase it brand new, but that doesn’t make 100 hours of gameplay any easier to deal with just to know this story in and out. If this isn’t what you do, it’s unlikely you’ll have the time to catch up. Thankfully there’s many-a-wiki and compilation video out
there to get a feel for it, and as I’ve said, the original game remastered is in the package. I STRONGLY advise you brush up on the previous events. There are a lot of nods to the first game that are simply lost on anybody just jumping in to God Eater 2.
Even so, as a newcomer, I found the eventual pay-off to be worth the investment. Events come hard and fast in the late game and it’s all building to a lasting impact on the God Eater universe. If Only Your Character Could Speak I know a silent protagonist isn’t a new thing, but the interactions feel very one-sided in this game. It also presents the
illusion of choice at times, usually resulting in a minor dialogue change from the person you’ve supposedly spoken to. The biggest issue? Your character eventually does say something. You even select a voice from the character creator before beginning the game. Your protagonist likes to yell “GET OUTTA THE WAY” a thousand times in battle.
Perhaps that’s why those vocal chords are so sore back on Fenrir or at the Far East Branch. Honestly, it’s not important, but it bothered me when they finally did drop that “your character said a thing!” moment. With all of the dialogue that had been recorded for the game, and the myriad of voices to choose from, I understand how it could be a
daunting task – what with those voice actors also voicing members of the cast. I don’t know, I guess I’d just prefer a character that’s more invested than the occasional nod to a team-mate or brief shoulder pat. That Anime Though…. The game features an opening of high production value, and an anime adaptation of God Eater is available to watch on
Crunchyroll as we speak/read/type. The anime is not well received, outside of its fantastic visual presentation.
I only hope that future entries to the God Eater video game franchise incorporate the fidelity of the anime, because this series could be incredible with high production value. Then again, it’s first and foremost a Vita game. Maybe it’s all wishful thinking, these are just some things I think about.
There are story beats in here that could be even more impactful if they were delivered with those anime visuals, and some of those stories are deserving of the treatment. Gameplay God Eater 2 is a deep game with simple battle mechanics. As an action role-playing game, there’s a lot of button mashing to pull off simple combinations and the
occasional side-step or jump to re-position. At the core, there is a hub area. Here, the created player character will accept missions, customise their loadout and run off to hunt Aragami. There’s a standard health meter, an oracle resource meter that governs bullet availability and other special techniques, as well as stamina that determines how long
you can run or swing your weapon. Nothing out of the ordinary on resource management. Mission Structure Completing a mission earns players items for crafting, Ability Points to unlock support techniques for other characters and the leveling up of Blood Arts: skills that improve with constant use. These missions are graded based on speed,
remaining health and how many pieces of enemies were broken off in your adventure. The missions tend to have a 40-minute time limit, but a well-balanced fighter with the right loadout can tear through most missions in about 10 minutes at the most. 20 if you’re not doing too well. The game has many mission types: Normal, Hard, Extra and Special
missions. Each ranges in difficulty and states as such on the screen.
Players can only accept one mission at a time, but as I’ve said, they tend to be brief enough to keep the player coming and going at a reasonable pace. Core Progression For those seeking to main-line the game for the story alone, story missions are only locked behind brief conversations with people in the hub. The player will often be directed to the
person by way of the Operator at the front desk in casual conversation. In doing so, the player can undertake story quests (labelled as such under the “Normal Missions” section) as they become available quite quickly. There are still a lot of hours buried in there, and if the player isn’t doing a bit of side stuff, later enemies can pack a serious punch.
Weapon of Choice There are three main pieces of equipment: Weapon, Gun and Shield. Support equipment can enhance other abilities, and this system takes a bit of study to get used to. Let’s stay focused on the main parts for now. The sheer variety of weapons is cool in itself. Short blades, Long Blades, Buster Blades, Charge Spears, Variable
Scythes, Boost Hammers, Shotguns, Snipers, Assault Guns, Canons – it’s a treasure trove. All of these weapon types also have various Blood Arts: special Blood Unit abilities that can only be equipped one at a time, but will fundamentally change an attack type. For example, my favourite is the Charge Spear with the Aerial-based “Skyfish” Blood Art
technique.
It’s an unrelenting barrage of high-powered attacks that includes a brief shield and an evasion move built in. For me, it provided an all-purpose assault on most enemies’ weak points. Add to that my Shotgun and I’m a close-range monster. When you consider the four elements: Blaze, Freeze, Spark and Divine that also determine how effective the
weapons are against enemies (weapons can also have no elemental attribute), there’s so much juggling to be done. I could go in to so much more detail, but it’d take all day.
Just know the possibilities are massive, but it’s all about finding the right weapon style and blood art combination for you. Edit Your…. Bullets!? The Bullet Editor is accessible after a certain character story is completed.
This allows the player to craft and test the bullets for their guns. It allows for experimentation with spread, distance, direction and affinity of the bullets that can be loaded in to the gun. Though I found it easier to lean on the Charge Spear, the Bullet Editor would allow somebody with the time and inclination to craft a perfect shot for their upgraded
guns to maximise their damage or support output. R1 to Transform Switching between melee and ranged mid-combat is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also quite fluid.
There’s a brief stop that can be alleviated by unlocking abilities, but the balance of switching from melee that builds up oracle points to the gun that uses the resource is a great balance. The weapon, gun and shield is all one weapon, so it all deploys from the same space and it’s just an interesting design choice that I’ve not seen elsewhere, at least to
this degree. The transforming weapons are key to God Eater’s presentation. Craft and Upgrade All DAY Unlike the hardcore aspect of Monster Hunter, where heavy grinds are commonplace, God Eater makes it a lot easier to get what you need to craft more powerful items.
Parts are broken off of enemies in battle that result in what the player might need. If those parts don’t drop, tickets can be exchanged for those goods too. Higher difficulty missions yield higher level tickets for items that are harder to obtain. Using these items, upgrades can be made to all weapons and shields. Some can follow multiple paths that’ll
result in different elemental affinities. These are visible before committing to the change. It’s a good system that doesn’t demand too much of a player’s time, but if one wants to invest deeply, they can. That’s a Lot to Take In. Give me the run down. No problem.
God Eater’s combat is indeed repetitive, but find the right loadout for you and it’s a lot of fun. Balancing defense and attack ratings with the abilities system (each weapon has four slots) is a game within itself. The best part of God Eater in my opinion is the fact that dying doesn’t mean death. The player can be knocked out several times per mission,
and returned to life by either another player or one of the (up to three) A.I team-mates. This means you can be a little reckless whilst you work out what approach is best for the enemy you’re fighting. What’s the Best Way to Play? Many state that God Eater, like Monster Hunter, is best played in a group. Personally, I found a lot of joy in the solo play,
but I can see why three other players could be very useful. The A.I. fine for companions, but healing isn’t provided effectively in my experience and the characters just don’t hit as hard as you do.
Online players can get together for material hunting, story progress or whatever. The only thing they can’t do is advance side-character stories whilst online. Understandable, as this usually requires them to be in your party for missions. So yes, online sessions would definitely be better, but the solo experience is great in itself if you want literally
hundreds of hours of content. Even if a it’ll wear thin over time. Overall God Eater is a deep game. So deep, it’s one of my longest reviews, and I know there are some features I haven’t even touched on. Simply put, it’s a dated experience visually, but the combat is fun once you’ve found a weapon style that suits you. The story takes a while to pick up,
but when it does it really gets going. That said, I’d suggest playing God Eater Resurrection before God Eater 2 if you want the full narrative experience. From a pure value-for-money perspective, I don’t see why you wouldn’t buy God Eater 2 Rage Burst. Still, it’s an acquired taste, but it’s far more lenient than its Capcom-made inspiration and suits me
far better due to its ease of access and bite-size missions. God Eater 2 is perfectly at home on the Vita, but it’s fine on PS4 too, occasional audio issues aside. I’d say give it a go.
