Yeesh that sounds complicated, wonder why they made it that way when the elemental stuff is straight forward.
Probably to make team loadout diversified and not focused on one type of damage.
Anyway, Jesus fuck Kanon stop shooting your flamethrower and sparkthrower at me after you heal me.

There's a long blade rank 4 that has all 4 elemental damage on it- is it a good idea?
How does elemental weakness works? It's just reduced damage right?
So if say I whack the crocodile with that sword the spark damage would be reduce, but the damage from the other elements would make up for it right?

You won't be dealing four lots of damage because it has all the elements, the elements just change the attribute of the damage you are doing.
I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that in that sword's case it will ignore the weak and irrelevant elements and just use the strong one.

If so that sounds like a keeper! Especially against new bosses.

Finished the main arc.
the pacing was terrible during difficulty 5, other than that, its good
Nothing, since GE resurrection released after GE2RB. Transfer save functionality work from God eater Burst to GE2->GE2RB
local idol save everything

Ok thank you for answering.
There are 13 story difficulties, Difficulty 14 and a lot of Challenge missions after that as well as the 2 Predetor Packs with missions ranging from Difficulty 13-14.
If you exclude all the free missions there are 124 story missions.
That's an awful lot of mission. I'll probably take a break after I finished with GER first before tackling GE2RB. Thanks!
Also anyone know when bullet editor accessible?
Silly me, I never thought it's how you access the bullet editor lol
Well, the bullet editor looks pretty complicated. Anyone willing to give a trick or two? I know SkyOdin make a good post about this. Maybe I should read that.
Finally started Rage Burst yesterday, after finishing most everything in Resurrection. (Here's some sort of review gibberish I wrote about it)
Lack of predator-styles took some time getting used to, but it definitely makes the game more challenging, since now Devouring actually has some risks again.
The Blood Arts are really cool. They open up a whole new layer of melee-customization and are a nice incentive to switch weapon types.
The 2 new maps I've seen so far look way better then the old ones and I like how they feel more spacious. I also like how there are way more weaker Aragami around during missions.
The few new Aragami I've met so far are also a huge step above the old ones. Makes me excited for what's still to come (Difficulty 2 right now, at the point where
).
Story is interesting so far and I like the new cast.
Dub is alright. I like the voices, but the mixing is... weird at times and I feel like the delivery is really dry compared to Resurrection, but it's alright.

Nope, nothing.

Finished rage burst arc and epilogue. Yeah, that was good. There's way too many survival mission during the story though, which i thing kinda ruin the pacing. Other than that, i like it. I clock around 70 hours, and i haven't done hard or special mission!

Is there some way to extend the Blood Rage timer once its activated? Or is that link support device the only thing that extends the time?

I wonder if anyone is still playing this? Just started playing this. It's even better than ressurection I think. Can't wait for three! Anyone know if it sold well?
Steamspy shows that GE2RB have sold 60k copies on Steam. Not very good, but not bombing either in my standard. I don't know Bamco expectation on this sadly.
I played mostly Buster Sword / Sniper in Resurrection, so I figured I'd go with Blast Gun and a different weapon for 2.
Tried all the melee weapons and had generally fun with all of them, but something didn't click and I didn't have as much fun as in Resurrection. Figured it were the missing Predetor styles and I'd get used to it sooner or later.
But that nagging feeling didn't go away. Then I figured I'd just use the Buster Blade again, since it was my fave weapon in GER. Started great, but something still felt off. Fights against larger Aragami felt like a slog, like they took longer then they should, coming from GER.
And then today I just said 'screw it' and replaced my Blast Gun with a Sniper again. And lo and behold, it's fucking awesome again.
What do I want to say with all this? Dunno.
I just wanted to say that Snipers are great. And Buster Blades.
Asking question for Australian/European user. If i buy this game on the psn since i can't find digital will it allow to separate the games so it wouldn't eat up my memory. As giving me the option to only download 2 but leave ressurection. Cause as of right now 13 gbs for download is too much

So should I play the first game?
Just got this in from best buy and im not sure if the stories relate.

The story is related, but if you want to just smack monsters, then you can play 2 right a way.
Though if you have Resurrection, the remade version of the first game, you should try it ayway since it contain not just story but gameplay that unique to it as well.
Started this yesterday.
- Julius is coming across as a bit unhinged...
- No personal quarters? Shame. I get they were superfluous in Resurrection but their inclusion gave the guys some personality
- Also, haha, never realized the Scythe is the weapon on the cover and I ended up picking it up as my main (or perhaps I did see it from the corner of my eye and chose that weapon subconsciously? Hmmmm...)
Edit: Yeah, after catching up with this thread, I agree - the audio mixing is garbage at times.
How long is this game? Longer or shorter than Resurrection (which I admit, ended up putting down with the second arc with
and didn't bother with the barebones 3rd arc)

Lindow's Resurrection
It's definitely longer, but that is also partly due to it having a lot more optional missions, so I'm not sure how it compares if you just play the story missions.
I found the audio mixing also gets better after a while, so there is that at least (or it's just placebo).
I've beaten it last week and was clocking close to 90h by the time I was "done" - all story missions, character episodes
, missions under extras and some but not all optional ones. But I guess it was inflated a tad because at some points I had to stop and grind, like that
, or those light grinds to up character "affinities" to unlock their next character episode.
It's a far meatier game than GE:R, that's for sure. Really liked it.
(including those unlocked later)
infamous 4-step survival mission with Livie, she was totally underdeveloped and so was my gear, 4 ranks behind

Okay, I really need to share how incredibly stupid the Gil flashback was. For one, it went on for way too long.
For two,
For two,
rather than transforming his God Arc into a gun and blowing Kate's head off, he decides to kill her with a blunt end of his weapon. I just pictured him not being able to kill her with one hit and he got forced to bash her repeatedly until death and I lost it!
I accidentally found a loop hole in Steam's pre-order bonuses. When the game first came out I bought it and played it for about 30 minutes. But in retrospect I had too much other games that I wanted to finish first, so I returned it.
So, during last Steam winter sales I rebought the game at a discounted price, and guess what, all the pre-order stuff are still here, GE-R and the costumes

Resurrection isn't a preorder bonus.
Might be because they don't remove your 'license' but only deactivate it (since achievements are probably not lost as well) and just activate it again when you rebuy it, so the 'preorder bonus' stays with you.
I really wouldn't advise trying to exploit that loophole though, because Valve can just ban you from the entire refund system on misuse.
