Fanservice aside, does this hold up as a solid action game?
>>724160806game has denuvo so /v/tards won't know
It's no Ninja Gaiden, Sekiro or Nioh. The basic combo moves have little utility and are mostly fluff, but the parry and perfect dodge focus rewarding with spectacle is at least very entertaining. The combat depth isn't really there, and the open world drags in the middle, but the boss design is great and the music helps prop up the whole experience. There's definite love there, even if it doesn't hit the mechanical heights of the greats.
considering no one talks about it anymore, no
No. It's like a generic 5/10 action game from the 360 era.
>>724162435It's definitely a step above Heavenly Sword. It's somewhere in between casual western hack and slash games and more rigorous japanese titles, but leaning casual. If it didn't have a sexy slut MC it probably would have been shilled like crazy by sonyfags
>>724162360you can't talk about it or that shizo goes haywire
>>724160806>Fanservice asideI mean, there's no appeal after that
>>724160806No, it commits all the action game cardinal sins but people won't talk about that because most people don't play many action games.
>>724160806not buying till its on GOG hurry up sony
>>724160806Game would be better if Eve was a shemale though...
>>724160806No it plays like shit with a million recovery frames after every action you do with no way to cancel them
>>724162773such as?
>>724160806>game
>>724162703Anon probably dislikes God Hand as well. Stellar Blade is a solid 8/10. It's not a masterpiece, but it's definitely solid and well crafted. The environments aren't the prettiest but it tracks with the intended design.
The game pretty effectively transition you from basic combo + parry >>> Beta Skills + Parry >>> using DT+Beta to generate Burst to generate DT to...Like the other anons said, this isn't NG or DMC by a long margin BUT it's probably the most competent parry-centric game I've played yet and basically dumpsters shit like Sekiro and Wo Long
>>724163323Kino fight
>>724162292this is a fair, but very kind take>>724160806the game is average at best but there is fun to be hadi hope you like running around big open world deserts and sewers
Gameplay is great. Story is copied from Automata but worse. Outfits are awful dogshit korean shit that looks unappealing as fuck.
>>724160806>the ass game has the Soundtrack of the DecadeI'm AMAZED at how a gacha/phonedev managed to make a more polished action game than most major studios
>>724160806I liked it, so yes.
stellar game...............
>>724166246Mr Maciej how's your beautiful name pronounced?
>>724162292I agree. It's not the the best of the action genre and has a lot of flaws, but none of them are really fatal and overall you can tell that alot of passion was poured into the game to make it good even if it isn't the absolute peak of the genre.A solid 8/10 game.
>>724166745Thank you Mr Maciej now I can read your posts properly, may your artificial hyperintelligent wife grant you happiness.
>>724160806No, it's not an action game by definition. It's action-adventure, like Zelda.
There's a demo. Anyone that knows their action games can figure out whether or not they'd like Stellar Blade real quick after playing the demo.
>>724162435>from the 360 eraso you're saying it's good
>fanservice asideNope.
>>724160806Marky Mark told me it's just simon says with big asses in spandex
>>724160806After playing the game for about 5 hours you get desensitized to the fanservice. I went for all achievements and by the end of it I just stopped caring about the fanservice.
I find it odd that besides that one lesbian in charge of the help board, literally nobody in the game is lusting after the main character while she's walking around with her huge ass jiggling all over the place.
>>724160806i don't see why i should disregard sex appeal but not any other kind of appeal, especially when making hot girls is apparently by far the most difficult part of making games
>>724160806Eve is my current /v/ waifu
>>724170694The green doesn't really work here. It's a bit hard to read. Would a dark orange work better? Got to make sure all the newcomers know Eve's taken.
>>724160806It's solid alright
>>724171026this is what I hear every time you say "my wife, my wife"
>>724160806nah its not good at all. the special attacks are way too op and the rage mode she has has to be the dumbest shit ever. whats it called again! tachy mode or sum shit. anyway, I would not recommend this unreal game engine sloppa to anyone.
>>724160806give it to me straight bros, when's the crack?Also yeah it's a very well polished but basic action game. It's carried by the visuals, music and cool monsters. I will say the bossfights are really fun and there's like 2 dozen of them but the normal enemy encounters are not particuarly inspired.
>>724160806I found it really boring because the enemies had so much health it felt like fights took forever and you needed to use special moves to actually do any damage.
>>724160806Its better than most low effort fan service games.
>>724172246yep that's why I play it on easy mode
>>724162292Very fair and accurate take. Overall wasn't amazing but had some very high highs
I liked it for the most part. As an action game it's alright. Music is top tier, but half of her outfits are dumb and photo mode is way too barebones which surprised me since you'd think a game like this would have a better one.
>>724160806It's not top of its genre but yeah it's fine.
>>724160806It's very good yes.
the activate all camps achievement was bullshit though
pure
>>724160806it's parryslop with zero positioning skills needed
>>724160806Is this actually a soulslike or are people just being retarded?
>>724178504It has essentially bonfires scattered around the map, and if you rest at them all of the trash enemies respawn, and bosses that range from easy to bullshit. So depends on what you consider to be soulslike.
>>724178504Other than there being a health pack that refills at bonfires and enemies re-spawning when you use said bonfire, it's more like Sekiro than a Dark Souls game really
>>724160806No. The combat has various issues that no one except one autist on youtube even remotely touch at. They either love it for being based or hate it for being sexist.
>>724178504It has almost nothing in common with souls games beyond extremely superficial mechanics like enemies respawning at a "bonfire." The level design is different. It has random quest. Combat is not based around stamina or even dodging. It has open environments that aren't really interconnected. It shares almost nothing with the souls games.
>>724178504It has that same lock-on strafe left and right gameplay most action games have nowadays post-dark souls compared to things like KH, DMC, Ninja Gaiden, etc, that are more free form hack and slashy.So yeah soulslike superficially but that's basically become the new copied norm, if you've played a souls game you'll immediately feel the similarities but it does enough things differently outside your basic moves and attacks that it's still fun and not too samey
