One thing I miss from B1 in B2 is just how many unique executions there were. I understand the decision, the devs would have to make so many sprites for individual executions, especially if they involved the weapons like in B1, because then it'd be 3 unique animations per executable enemy

That's probably why so many use the generic execution.

@CalebDekker

They wouldn't really have to do that though. Just like many of the unique animations in Blasphemous & Blasphemous 2, we see the Penitent One utilize the enemies weapon as part of the animation. Also, since it appears that the Penitent One can manipulate the branches of his arm, we could've seen him make a "mea culpa blade" with his arm and mimic his forms from the first game or used them in other unique ways. Even the Penitent's very own helmet could be a weapon! They just needed to get a bit more creative.

Agreed, but it's possible that there wasn't more time to add additional unique executions. One of the DLCs for the first game added several more enemies you could execute so maybe that will be the case here.

Dont use two handed weapons in general. He will use them to kill you.

Something I'm realizing now is that even though I think the executions in B1 were generally cooler and more diverse, they were also a lot longer. The executions in B2 don't look as cool but they keep the game flowing a lot better. Just watching the montage I'd prefer B1, but I think actually playing the game I would end up preferring B2 if I played them back to back.

those feel so damn rewarding every time (stupid youtube can't even write the word here)

That id say is one of the handful of B2's flaws. I guess it would be too much to have unique execution's for all 3 weapons on all those enemy types so they settled with a handful for some and reuse the root arm squish for the rest. Im just saying, maybe if they hadnt changed the cutscenes to animated, that time could of been put into these details instead

@glorytoukraine5524

So you know nothing about animation. Those pixel art cutscenes B1 had are much harder and more expensive to make. And the guy responsible for them has left the company.

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I prefer 2's executions. Even the generic thorn ones. It just feels snappier and more efficient than 1's which sometimes feel a second too long and like they're trying to be gross like a Mortal Kombat fatality (which I personally don't care for). As for the thorn executions, I like them in the same way I like Bloodborne's visceral attack. It ain't flashy but it's quick and it feels good every time.

B2 was swift. B1 was personal.

I'm gonna look for and buy blasphemous for the switch if I can find it.

Might have something to do with a certain item that was needed for Ending A and C in the first game.

The first game had better executions. Far more creative, better art style, more gory, and it was just a better game overall. Apparently they switched to anime cutscenes for the second game because their pixel art animator quit the team. Clean anime cutscenes doesn’t fit a game that uses gritty and raw pixel art. It’s such a weird change.

In general, I agree, but they have improved the gameplay.But what I can not forgive is the departure of the soundtrack of the sequel in a more positive and life-affirming side. In the original music was excellent and perfectly complemented the atmosphere of dark fantasy in game.And it is strange, because the composer remained the same. In any case, Blasphemous 2 good game, but the official soundtrack in it turned somewhere wrong

​@@quantumprime4519 It makes sense that the music points more to life than to loneliness and despair since the main theme of the game is the dispute of the birth of a new era, whether for better or worse, custody is no longer mired in despair, so the music and the atmosphere is no longer a dark fantasy, it is rather a Renaissance fantasy of Spain, the miracle is no longer manifested with greater power by the death of the high wills, so the people of the main town can live their peaceful lives. until the birth of the new son who will bring the new era of desolation and devotion to the miracle and the custodian people, but that is something that the penitent must stop and that the living people demonstrate that the sacrifice of the penitent to free the custodian in the BLasfemo 1 It was not in vain.
