>normal mode is journalist-tier difficulty>hard mode just adds more life and defense to enemies (turns boss fights into 5 minutes long damage sponge chores of you doing the same thing against easy repetitive attack patterns) >simplistic parry slop combat (most of the skills and counters are useless fluff, player expression barely exists) >yellow paint everywhere with no believable in-game explanation as to its presence (doubly insulting because of scan button and journalist hint system already being implemented) >forced walk&talk segments and vapid dialogue you can't skip unless you install mods>empty areas where you run around sprinting in straight lines Only the music and eye candy are worth praising. Can't believe there are people who paid full price for stellar blade, especially on PS5. It doesn't feel like a videogame at all.

It's a shit gooner game
>>738630194It's the same thing with all sony exclusives. Bloodborne and even gravity rush were also exposed as not being worth the hype once they became playable on shadPS4.
>>738630194Buy an ad
Interesting how harsher the criticism got for the game once buyfags and brand loyalists got removed from the equation.
>>738630194Hard mode is balanced around new game +. You can still start on Hard with a fresh character, but the first couple of hours will feel like enemies are spnges until you start getting some upgrades in and level up
Eve is hot as fuck I dont care about anything else except the fact that the music is very nice too
>>738630194Did you not just play the demo and see that it was straight trash? Did you not already know that /v/ is exclusively populated by brown faggot gacha enjoying subhuman retards? Seeing any criticism of the game be met with some variation of>you lost, trannyprobably should have clued you in to exactly what kind of video game it isYou need to see /v/ for what it is today, not for what it was fifteen years ago
>>738630194Should've listened to the character action chads telling you it is regurgitated trash that only got any attention due to the sexy protagonist
>>738630194>Turn-based JRPG casuals who think all action games are button mashing but then will eat up slop like Nier Automataholy trvke
>>738631194gravity rush is the reason i never listen to /v/s opinion about video games anymore, dropped that shit within an hour and bloodborne is the second worst soulsbornekiroring game (second being demons)
Troons are STILL butt hurt, LMAO
>>738631194yup all Sony exclusives aren't that impresive
>>738630194Be glad you at least played it on PC. Stellar Blade was borderline unplayable at the time of release because of input lag, and there were people saying it didn't exist. The target audience for this game is not gamers but consumers who watch people play the game on twitch
>>738630194YesIt's a Korean gameYou should've known from the start
>started off mildly interesting>immediately devolved into a 'move around a boring abandoned city with a dude whispering in your ear' clicheWhy do Asians love the abandoned city aesthetic so much?
>>738630194Why didn't you listen to Mork? He told you as much.
>>738630194It's honestly a mid fucking game. The boobies and butts are the only interesting things about it. Glad I never paid for this garbage
>>738630194Yeah /v/ gaslit me into thinking this would good too, but it's just temu Lies of P. Should have known /v/ likes mediocre gooner games judging by all the gacha threads. That said I'm glad I pirated it instead of paying $80.
>>738636367Because he's a poser shitter and the target audience for this game. He has no authority on anything other than easy shmups meanwhile he has no MN ninja gaiden clears and makes up his opinion on games by not playing them at the max challenge available (rabi-ribi)I have more respect for the onimai tranny than for this retard, stop shilling him. Fuck mork and his groupies, they don't play games. Stellar Blade is a perfect fit for him
>>738630194>huur durr /v/ tricked meYou are a retard I've never seen /v/ EVER say this game is more then goonbait. I loved getting all the outfits and jerking off to them but everyone's been saying the gameplay is medicore at very best. Maybe try reading the threads next time retard. Or even better trying the free demo
>>738631194I would say the same for horizan games and nuGoW games. Played both, didnt care about the story, mid gameplay but i only favor on horizon because it's caveman vs robot animals instead norse gods shenanigans
>>738630194I told you.
bot broke
what exactly was the point of the harder captcha and removal of IDs if that guy can still do his thing while everything is harder for normal users
>>738630194I kinda land in the middle. It's the most "eh, it's okay" game imaginable. The demo was basically unplayable due to the input lag other anons mentioned but wasn't as bad in the full game. It was still there though, unless you changed some global ps5 settings, which is real fucking retarded.
>>738636810The guy's been at it for 2 years. He won't go anywhere any time soon
>>738637115longer than that, you can see posts going as far back as 2022 or 2023 when the game was first announcedand he hasn't only been doing this on 4chan. >you will never have someone devoted to you like this guy is to eve
>>738637115He should fight the stardew thread Jas poster in an exhibition boxing match.
>>738637278qrd?someone should make a catalog of thread schizos. I only know about barry who is in every FF thread. also that caramel guy from the MGSV threads several years back.
>I love reisen guy diedit's over
>most of /v/ is finally able to play the game cause they don't have to pay money for it>realize it's dogshitMeanwhile I knew this all along by just looking at a few gameplay clips and never wasted my time or money.
>>738630194>>normal mode is journalist-tier difficultyYou're lying, the game is difficult even on easy difficulty.
>>738631194bloodborne is a masterpiece. basically you’re an embarrassing nigger
Whaaaaat? Are you telling me the coomer retards that are still using the game as a screenshot simulator have shit taste and no fucking idea what they are talking about?Turns out yet again, that /v/ is worse at reviewing games than even the worst IGN reviewer.
>>738638007>Butt hurt!You're dumb!Bloodborne is just another Dark Souls game!
>>738637759>>>/tv/>>738638007the only good thing in bloodborne is audio design, the game is genuinely a pile of trash otherwise>30 fps>braindead combat, no challenge at all even in endgame>clunky gun parry system (you can still cheese encounters by playing ilke rosllsloppers)It's actually pretty similar to stellar blade in that regard, a sony exclusive game shilled to hell and back for visual and other artistic aspects before actually being judged for their own merits as videogames.
>>738630194Wait, are shazamtrannies finally moving on from GOTY Elden Ring to Stellar Blade now? Yet using the same style of complaints? How pathetic!!!!!
>>738631194dont make shit up, BB is excellent (and it was the sole reason to buy PS4)this shit is not even 10% as good
>>738638323cope snoytranny
How to kill the first boss?
>>738638769If it's the fight on top of parking lot, make use of the several red barrels to chip away at his health and stun him for a few seconds. Make sure not to get hit yourself lol.
Yeah, the game is fucking trash. If you like it because you think the protagonist is hot, fair enough. I bought Forspoken because I think the protagonist is hot. But I'm not going around trying to convince anyone it's actually a good game.
https://www.nexusmods.com/stellarblade/mods/40?tab=descriptionI tried to use this mod to remove the yellow paint in stellar blade but it doesn't work. Bummer
>>738637892who is this frumpy cutie
>>738630194Only good thing to come out of this game is a new blacked icon
>trusting a gacha developer to put out a decent product
>>738630194>yellow paint everywhere with no believable in-game explanation as to its presenceThey mention that the camps were set up by previous squads, so it's reasonable to assume it's the same with the markers. You probably skipped every piece of dialogue though.
I'm playing it on PC and hard mode has been a lot of fun. At first I thought it ridiculously difficult to do the dance for the beefy bosses but its a very satisfying feel to master the dance, similar to a monster hunter fight. You get a lot of tools, and while I find the experience is generous enough to really take almost everything you would want (so probabaly little to offer for player expression), its rewarding to learn the combos and nuances to the commands, as opposed to some games that are so forgiving its never really mandatory. The visuals are fine, the artstyle is fairly generic but very polished, music either slaps or is repetitive. The town parts I find boring but to be fair they're entirely optional, though there are a few interesting side quests that give gold rewards.All in all its okay, if you like the DMCs and the Bayonettas of the world I would highly recommend it, its also very hot and EVE is fun to dress up and look at.
>>738637693based
>>738638769It took me like 30 attempts, but it really comes down to mastering the parry. You'll get to a point where his first phase is just automatic, you have to be able to reflexively parry all 4 of his attacks. His second phase seems rough but remember its the exact same thing just with more flashes and different timing on the parries. Sorry to say I didn't find a shortcut, the anon who mentioned the barrels may be on to something but I found it too difficult to lure him to them reliably, though it does deal decent damage.
>>738630194I keep saying this as well.It's a shit game and will only be remembered for "Eve is really hot". What people also seem to have forgotten is that the game censored itself right before launch, even though it was lauding itself as "the savior of sexy video games". People that wanted to "support the devs" by paying full price for this crap got rugpulled hard, first by the censorship, then by the game itself being a mediocre piece of shit.t. paid full price for this crap twice
>>738631194Bloodborne is the best soulshit. What it takes away from the formula is a small sacrifice for the best level / world design out of any of the games and while combat is corralled into one playstyle it's still more freestyle than Sekiro's bop it routine. To me Sekiro is far and away the most overrated of all of From's games. You give up a lot of From's good design work: you give up a lot of their level design, you give up a lot of their world design. You also give up a lot of choice in how you commit to combat, and you get a game that's just a lot of cookie cutter combat in return. And I don't get how you can dislike Gravity Rush unless you hate 3d platformers as a genre itself and in that case why did you bother to even try it?
>Game running totally fine>Reach the wastelands area>Game is now randomly throwing UE crashing errors from time to time when changing areasBros...?
>>738640968Why did you pay for it twice then if you hate it so much
WHERE IS HE?
>>738630194This game revelation that I am retard.>random enemies trash my ass>beginner horse boss stonewalled me>all the combos are too complex where you need to knock an enemy into a state and then input a combo string and some steps require multiple button inputs like x + backwards and shit like that or holds >can't react fast enough for the different color cancel rings and end up spamming shitty dodge as a cope
>>738641178The hate came after paying for it. I wanted to support the devs first, then even despite the censorship I still wanted to support them, but when the game actually launched and I finished it I was just done.
>>738641574So you bought the game twice on release? Why not refund the other copy you didn't play then?
>>738641632Preordered the game digitally, then bought a physical copy a few days after. I still have the physical copy and I'll sell it one day the moment I get off my lazy ass.
>>738641764Just trade it on gamestop.
>>738635069combat is dogshit even on PC, dropped it at the first boss, enjoyed the ass tho
Stellar Blade is a poor man's Nier Automata. SB is a good game. Nier is a generational masterpiece
>>738630194>hard mode just adds more life and defense to enemies (turns boss fights into 5 minutes long damage sponge chores of you doing the same thing against easy repetitive attack patterns)Name ONE actual “difficult” boss fight in any video game. I’ll wait.
>>738641985Well it was balanced for NG+ but retards kept asking for it to be unlockable at the start when the game incentivizes you to play it at least 3 times since most of the outfits are locked behind NG+ and NG++
I just pirated this bitch, I have been curious to try it since it came out but have been absolutely unwilling to pay for it. I'm just looking for any kind of action game since beating wukong and ninja gaiden 4
>>738630194Told you faggots it's a 6/10 game at best, and Eve is the most blandest female MC of the decade
Best camp songhttps://youtu.be/lkVnLCjA9xs?si=YQuTljv8GYwO5YJ3
>>738643093meh, i don't care about kpop
>>738643142It's great. The game's ost is one of the best for me in recent years https://youtu.be/Tgxn3yL0oSs?si=h12WgKWvbaXiq6NrScarlet is also one of the best bosses in the game.
>>738643208Whatever man, i don't care about kpop, never like nier tomata ost either and this shit game has so many ost sound like nier tomata oooooaaaaa my fucking ass

>>738643303https://youtu.be/V6Ae617U8Xg?si=1wRE5POaB0rVxAXMThe surprising thing is that MONACA is also responsible for the jrock music, considering they're mostly known for the nier automata style music.
>>738630194>Mediocre combat>Ugly UE4 browny graphics>Shit story>Shit characters>Shit MCThe only positive thing about this is tits and ass, and kpoop if you're into korean shit i guess. Fuck gook shill
>>738641985Irisu from Rabi Ribi
>>738631194>Bloodborne [...] also exposed as not being worth the hype The only thing exposed here, is how shit your taste in games is.
>>738643208Kinda disappointed that the scarlet fight didn't actually included the goddess of victory song, and only a few notes.https://youtu.be/hK_6T-LzdbE?si=x3K6wE4Yetsxym96
sure smells of IGNorant shills here
>>738630194Mork already told you that the game is trash 2 years ago and you didn't listen.
It's unironically one of the best games of the past few years. A 7 to 8/10 game depending on how much you like good music. Definitely a great Sekirolike
can't choose between the nude modsWhich do you like better?https://www.nexusmods.com/stellarblade/mods/30https://www.nexusmods.com/stellarblade/mods/740
Now I have 2 short hair cuties but yeah, this game is kinda boringIf people were already put off by the first area, then the desert and gun-only bunker definitely won't helpGreat outfits though and the upskirt on that Santa dress is lewdicrous
>>738644554The gun only dead space bunker was pretty cool the first time though. I kinda wish the game was a third person shooter instead honestly.
Currently on a NG hard playthrough, just defeated gigas. It's a shame that the only difficulty of the game boils down to "press the correct parry button or die in 1-2 hits". Stylish game but I expected more, the gacha comparison feels accurate because the combat does not have a lot of depth. Once you know when to interrupt enemies with the skills the game stops being a challenge
>>738642754just played the first hour. I'm quite enjoying it. It seems a step down from say wukong, but it is fun so far.
>>738630194>(most of the skills and counters are useless fluff, player expression barely exists)Combos are fun, rewarding to execute and they're actually useful in fights because they stagger and interrupt bosses, it's more expressive than anything you're able to do in Elden Shit which I've no doubt you think is a good game.
>>738645083I do not believe any souls game to be good
Dev really wasted resource by trying to mimic nier automata almost beat by beat. That padding was unnecessary and world size should be 30% smaller.
>>738645083SB is more like floaty Sekiro, not elden shit
>>738644554the outfits are really good, makes me wish they were studied for modern fashion
>>738645325They were designed by the director's wife too.
>>738645285>floatybuzzword
>>738645346yeah she's great at her job. seen that with Nikke too
>>738645387Nigga, just compare the parrying of Sekiro and SB, The parrying in Sekiro feel weighty and satisfy as fuck unlike SB
What the fuck lmao I didn't believe that normal mode was too easy, until I tried it. Enemies die in seconds and barely do any damageBoss movesets also seem to be nerfed? What the fuck
>>738645448Nta, but the sound effects imo feels very meaty. Especially with a PS5 Dual Sense controller. That CLANG CLANG sounds coming from the controller and the rumble is very satisfying. I wish other games would have this dual sense feature.
>>738630194Because it's always a mediocre game, its popular because SJW woke war bullshit
>>738630194In other words, it's a korean game
>>738645448I find the parry in SB to be better than in lies of P for instance. At least enemies react to it here. It's less good than in sekiro or MGR but it could be much worse
>>738645490>that CLANG CLANG sounds coming from the controller and the rumble is very satisfyingAre you talking about Sekiro or SB?
>>738645542SB. Sony actually implemented very cool dual sense features just for the game. Like if you are using the drone sonar, the controller actually pulses a bit and the drone chatter comes from the controller to make it sound like the it's coming off a radio or walkie talkie.
>>738645520MGR's parry is literally just pressing forward desu. It's incredibly barebones.
>>738645325The outfits are horrible and tacky, nobody cares what a fat fuck coomer thinks about fashion.
>>738645602I don't have PS controller so i don't know, and i don't want to buy a new PS controller to feel barely better than Sekiro either
>>738645656Forgot to mention I'm trans and sexy outfits trigger my dysphoria.
>>738645490You need to buy a fucking PS5 Dual Sense controller to hear the CLANG CLANG sounds? No thank
>>738645630Yeah it sucks but the feedback is satisfying. Same in stellar blade, Nine Sols and SekiroLess so in lies of P
>>738645762nvm just remembered nine sols actually wasnt that good. The sound effect was nice but it also felt like parrying was just a perfect block compared to unbound counter
>>738645490>The parrying feel like shit>b-b-b-b-b-but you need to buy a PS5 controller for SB to be clang clang like Sekiro
>>738645837Parrying in SB, especially Stalker's barrage is incredibly satisfying yeah. That unironically looks even more floaty without the context of a controller rumble because the characters don't even flinch nor is there any screen shake.
>>738630194Yeah, i'm at the space station and honestly the combat is nothing special, the graphics is the same brown and yellowish like every UE game, the map feel barebone, story suck and boring, i don't like any of the side characters and Eve, She is lame
>>738645908>screen shakeGo back to your korean mmo
>>738645656I've seen actual women at the gym dress in more revealing outfits than the ones Eve wears in Stellar Blade
>>738646010>When side characters has more emotion and personality than the main character
>>738645490This but it counts for basically every game nowadays. Dualsense enhances the battle system of every game with haptics and when they don't you just use DSX.When it comes to feedback, I preferred Sekiro but Stellar Blade still has one of the best and almost every ability provide a really good feeling of power.
>>738646096Or cosplayers.
>>738633625learn to combo nigger
>>738646096Gym wear isn't fashion and what I said had nothing to do with how revealing a piece of clothing is. Stellar blade has tacky fashion sense
>>738646203I don't play console games often but yeah it really made me realize why some people like console games. This was the equivalent for going to a 4DX movie for the first time for me in vidya terms. More games really need to embrace this feature but I suppose Sony has patents for it. I don't know if xbox having similar features for games.
>>738630194>finally cracke dby voices38Okay redpill me on this. What should I expect aside the sexo design of the protag?
>>738646284parry2win
>>738646275>what I said had nothing to do with how revealing a piece of clothing is>nobody cares what a fat fuck coomer thinks about fashionI mean you kinda did
>>738646283You can still enjoy it on PC but yeah buying a PS5 made me realize how great it was and now I go out of my way to make it work on every PC game I can
>>738646284Sexo design of the protag, because everything else is boring. Well the soundtrack is okay if you into kpop stuff and nier automata ost
>>738646389I actually did buy a ps5 controller for this game and I use it now for my action games nowadays. I'm so far very happy with it.
>>738630194>never played parryslop before>clear normalmode with struggling with certain bosses>learn the moveset with burstcombos counters and specials along the way>ng+ hardmode>slap the same bosses as if its normal cause i clearly got better>go back to normal in challenge mode to see the difference>curbstomp them as if they are random mobsYe its clearly a skillissue the hp increase is just there cause otherwise you can breeze through hard cause you just know how to deal more damage efficiently.
>>738646284enemy design is cool, dodge/parry gameplay if that's your thing and the story is short enough
>>738646389Fuck you guys are selling me on this dualsense shit but I already have a 8bitdo pro 3 that I'm happy with, how many games actually support this feature?
>>738646778I'm playing hard on a first playthrough and it's easy to know how to make bosses inoffensive. The game is just easy
>>738646778at some point I cheated in some damage multiplier because regardless of the setup Eve was hitting like a wet noodle
>>738641764Why pre-ordering digitally in the first place? Absolutely mental. Why did you bought the physical later? In hopes of getting the pre patched "uncensored" outfit/s?You're aware of your FOMO?Console peasants deserve everything they get.
>>738646830Most Sony games have it. I assume Ghost of Tsushi has it too. But the implementation is different based on the game's features. Like haptic feedback for stellar blade was actually unique to the game itself.
>>738646218Stellar blade is a mediocre game with average soulslop combat but it still plays much better than troon Automata. Nier fans need to be exterminated
>>738647297hahahahahah I almost forgot how shit that game is
I'm personally loving the absolute skill issue. It has been cracked for days now and most third worlders are still either at the wasteland or stuck at the first boss.
>>738646368Liking korean coomer vomit correlates with poor fashion sense and porn addiction which in turn correlates with how cringe and awkward you are. This is seperate from revealing clothes = good or bad, you only veiw fashion based on that one variable because you are a melted brain coomer, stellar blade character design is shit for a million other reasons.
>>738647439This is honestly the first time I've seen people complain that they can't beat Abaddon. Nobody had problems with him back on release.
>>738647528If they're playing on hard(which is unlocked from the getgo now) his hp is massively bloated.
>>738647524I think you should hate less things and maybe get off this site for a while
>>738647602Stellar Blade on hard is my favorite thing I've played this year so far, I absolutely loved having to actually learn every boss instead of just mashing through and killing it in 40 seconds barely doing anything right. When I beat the game and found out it was the NG+ difficulty I did think that made a lot of sense but I wouldn't have changed it for anything, I would've enjoyed the game dramatically less if it was easier
>>738647524>tranny is still mindbroken over heckin sexist designs
>>738647528>revisionismA lot of people were complaining about Abaddon for the ps5 demohttps://www.reddit.com/r/stellarblade/comments/1bqu64q/combat_is_really_hard_for_me_story_difficulty/And last year pc demo threads also had a lot of people getting filtered in story mode. Granted snoygroids had deliberate input lag to deal with so it made the game much harder for them so they sort of get to use this excuse but PCgroids...
I'm having a blast!

>>738630194>normal mode is journalistyou're right, but only in the context of having played hard mode. hard mode is meant for 2nd runs (NG+) because it increases enemy numbers in addition to tweaking their behavior >doing the same thing against boss attack patternsa criticism not unique to stellar blade; shoulda tried the demo>simplistic parry>most of the skills and counters are uselessthey're really not. whether you like it or not, the ranged skill, the overclock skill, the AOE skill, and the armor break skill are player expression there's also the skills that tag extra bits on to your counters or power ups. THOSE are your player expression even if you're not doing different attacks - they absolutely decide your approach to situations and Raven does fun things against what you have; you wouldn't unlock it all in a first playthrough. NG+ even expands the tech tree>forced walk and talknot in the nu God of War sense, just moments where you're forced to walk while there's yapping. The game isnt up front about its story, so I'm sorry you suffered the moments it's in your face rather than being subtle where it does it's best (I personally like the story)>empty areasthe open world segments are somehow good and bad. You really need the can radar to appreciate it because for some reason, the best parts of the open world are basically secrets with ambushes, platforming challenges, and puzzles - all hidden away for the can side quest tl;drwe are still having stellar blade threads and all of them are in bad faith one way or another
>>738633475lol you lost tranny

>>7386490132011 for me. I got hyped for Dark Souls 1 after months and months of /v/'s consoleturd population touting it as the second coming of action RPG Christ. Turned out it was a lazy, half-finished trash heap of a game, and the PC port was one of the worst in history. Amazing.Have been dismissing any and all opinions on here since. Unless I've played the game in question and the opinion aligns with my own, of course.
>>738648737very disingenuous assessment tranny when you know for fact every thread on /v/ is just like that no matter the game.

>>738630194Damn, my $0.25 Steam sharing account is still alive, quite impressiveIt isn't a good game, quite mediocre even
>>738649407Nah, fuck off. I've played it. It's barebones, the combat AI is completely braindead, the RPG systems are 2-3 useful stats and then 10 more that don't do anything substantial or anything at all, the PC release shouldn't have been sold for money, and the game fails at its purported main strength, that being the """difficulty""", because you can either circlestrafe around everything like it's Q1 or dodge through attacks with i-frames that feel like they last an hour compared to other third person whack-a-monsters. I've got more complaints, but they aren't worth listing.All in all, it's a shit game, and no amount of gaslighting from YouTube essay addicted fans is going to change this reality. I've played the fucking game. I know better.
>>738649776>and the game fails at its purported main strength, that being the """difficulty""",Man, if only the other retards were like you and went away, the format wouldn't have died immediately afterwards.

im enjoying it. the longer bossfights force some concentration out of you.only the environments are kinda shit. but this is mostly bcs of the unreal engine and the setting they have chosen.

>>738633645>>738649013>>738649181For me, it was ignoring /v/ after they shilled Resident Evil: Revelations on release as the second coming for the franchise and tricked me into playing it. Haven't listened to this board since.
>>738653362It was a mediocre game but it was a good Resident Evil game. Half the games in the main series feel like spin-off action games.
>>738630194Protip: if a (vanilla) game tries to force feed you ass/tits, it's going to be shit, no exceptions. Latent coomers will seethe and deny this, but it's the God's honest truth. It's simply a sign that the devs have no confidence in the actual *GAME* part of their game, so they feel they need some way to attract attention for long enough to trigger an impulse purchase
>>738630194The cooming is the point, literally. The actual game, from story to gameplay to music sucks dick.Remember that it came from an Asian gacha company, so for millions of asiatic ricecels, this is the first real (non mobile) game they played.
After this and crimson desert I am getting an impression that korean games are dogturds wrapped in very nice looking wrapper.
>>738654686lies of p is amazing thoughbeit
>>738653481It wasn't completely awful, but if you were around on release you would have seen how badly /v/ was deepthroating it
>>738630194What did you expect? It was clear from the first trailer that it was a sloppy mess relying on cancelling into parries to fix shit combat and encounter design and T&A to distract from the incredibly low quality.
>>738654813I was there. I saw the game as a good start for getting the franchise back on track. Remember it came out after RE5 and when RE6 was looking like a big red flag that doubled down on RE5.
What pisses me off about this game is how the parry has start up frames. There's about a 1.5s delay between pressing the parry button and Eve actually parrying. If you play like literally any other game (Sekiro, Lies of P, etc.) and parry right when the attack connects you hit dirt. It shows a total lack of understanding from the devs of what makes the genre good.
>started off mildly interesting>immediately devolved into a 'move around a boring abandoned city with a dude whispering in your ear' clicheWhy do Asian games love the abandoned city aesthetic so much?
>>738630194Told you it's fucking trash.>but the girls are hotEven even really. Shill really want you to believe this shit is on the level of gameplay as true action or souls games when it has more in common with a poor copy of sekiro (which was shit)Like if you just said you enjoy the game for the girls even if it's trash then good for you I respect that. Just don't fucking lie and claim the game has anything else going for it. Hell I think Senran Kagura or Oneechambara still has more fun gameplay.
>>738646939>Why pre-ordering digitally in the first place?Because I believed, big mistake in the current era. Bought the physical version a few days later, before having completed the main game and finding out it was trash, and yes also because it's the pre-censored version. Doesn't matter though because like I said, censored or not the game still sucks.>muh consoleI have also have a PC thougheverbeit.
>>738646323>another parry slopWhy devs puts that shit in almost every game?

>finally get the chance to go back to the first area>no mapgod the open world sucks shitall their best work is in the hub city and the bunker, they really needed to keep this as a smaller linear game packed with their cooler designs
For all my gripes with Stellar Blade (animation lock when opening doors/picking up items or even during combos, walk&talk segments, weird input lag, yellow paint, strange emphasis on coom angle, crowd control options being the usual souls "target enemies one at a time") the audio design and parry sounds particularly are still somewhat satisfying. I've been playing NG on hard mode (just defeated Gigas) and it's true that boss fights take 3-4 minutes each even at full aggression because you don't really know how to optimize your damage output early on, but I find that dying in one or two hits forces you to focus, master the fights and respect the somewhat half methodical/half fast-paced nature of Eve's capabilities. Compared to Nier Automata, which asked almost nothing of the player outside of patience in its hardest difficulty setting due to enemies just kind of standing there as you spammed your dodge at no consequence, Stellar Blade's combat is just miles ahead despite being bootleg Sekiro with some Bayo sprinkled in. I didn't like the story and art direction in Automata and I'm not a huge fan of what I'm seeing here either. The game feels like one of those seemingly grandiose K-drama shows who are all style with 0 substance. Eve is sexy, but not attractive. It feels too in your face. I just hope that there will be an actual filter like Genichiro or Demon of Hatred later on. Or a boss that actually requires you to perfect parry, blue dodge, jump, purple dodge etc in very quick succession, if possible like a rhythm game with mixups down the line to keep the player on their toes.
>>738654686>>738654759>Stellar Blade is from gacha developers>Crimson Desert is based on and originally was a Korean MMO>Both are 7/10 at best>Lies of P wasn't based off a KSlop genre>Actually a good gameI see the problem
The combat carries this game. Perfect dodging/parrying giving you the resources to overwhelm your enemy turns it into a good mix of "respecting" the enemy and being able to chain combos like a platinum game. There's also plenty build variety. You can build around beta skills, burst skills, the regular combo system, defense, combat items, shield breaking/penetrating and ranged. The system is pretty rewarding if you master it, to the point where some strategies can feel very overpowered >>738660391>Eve is sexy, but not attractive. It feels too in your face.weirdly all the good outfits that dont feel over the top are in NG+ and especially NG++ >I just hope that there will be an actual filterthe two boss rush mode exclusive bosses are pretty hard. the nikke boss has unique sequences you have to learn, and the guy they added with the PC port will parry your moves/if you knock him down he'll often tech roll preventing you from abusing the more cheesy damage strategies in the game. depending on how the fight goes he'll also be using different types of attacks altogether keeping you on your toes during repeat attempts.I dont think theres a true filter that expects you to play perfectly though. Would have to be self imposed by not using X tools, or using the gear that increases damage you take
>>738659448What? I don't see any problem it's just>MaicejOH MY GOODNESS
>>738647297N:A was supposed to be a character action game like Bayonetta until Square execs stepped in and made it easier for JRPG players. They didn't want to alienate their core audience of smoothbrains.
>>738644728>press the correct parry button or die in 1-2 hitsdid you not find the health upgrades?
>>738649142>Probably AMD babsAMD bab here, no crashes for me
>>738663201You still have a decent movelist to play around with and there's some complexity in cancels and juggling and shit. The smoothbrain shit is in the enemies, who often don't get knocked around by moves specifically meant to knock enemies around, and get overleveled just by playing normally so they die too fast for them to be any fun to fight.
>>738661547>You can buildbruh, I'm just running around doing side quests and am running out of skills to buy. lightning rush destroys the game, which now makes sense why it has a cooldown, AND staggers so that you can follow up with whatever you want
>>738663675There is a fun game hidden behind there and you can tell they cared about the battle system at some point.
>>738661547I'd love for people shitting on the combat system to post videos of their clears on Raven hard, or any clear of Scarlett.
>>738630194You should've learned to not listen to this dumbass board man. Last time I did for the 1st time in a decade was buying that garbage fighting game dnf duel on release full price.
5/10 but hey you can pose and take photo
Im about to buy it for 35 euros
Why do enemies have such shitty animations that it's unclear when to parry or dodge
>>738666517That's why they added the big glowing lights so you know what to do. Even then their animations still suck.
>>738666517The parry seems to not activate immediately like it does in some other games, so it might seem like you pressed the button too early when you didn't press it early enough. Blocking works fine as a back up when you don't know when to parry. I've liked games with big obvious telegraphs for when to press dodge, but this one seems to treat that timing as something you can just not bother with and do fine as long as you're good at actually attacking.
I dropped the game at the hub. It's just too much filler

>>738648954>No really when the game came out it was said to be one of the most well optimized games ever.I have a 7 year old pc and it never crashed for me, even once. I don't know wtf these idiots downloaded and from what source but the game shouldn't crash if you have a decade old pc, it's that well optimized. If you have a 30 series nvidia card and above 16gb, you can max out the settings easily and it still runs smooth.
>>738631194True about Bloodborne. Played recently and it's like a 7/10. Would rather play SB or Pragmata again.

Even assuming this game was as mediocre as it's aloggers claim, it's kind of amazing that they spend so much time and energy shitting on it. Does a sexy female protagonist really bother people this much?

>>738675048Eve's husband
>>738675048I don't think they realize they're undermining their own argument by saying that the game sucks really badly, and people only buy it because Eve is really sexy. If the simply addition of a sexy babe could elevate mediocrity into a best seller, then what's the argument about "modern audiences" sound like again? Where are untapped hordes of women and POC's buying Concord, Dustborn and the like because of it's Diversity in lieu off the now toxic Bimbo?

>>738674894playable Raven with custom nanosuits in SB2 will cause mass suicide among troons. can't wait.
>>738675283Eve's husband
In another timeline stellar blade would be some bargain bin shit nobody would care about.
>>738675283>Where are untapped hordes of women and POC's buying Concord, Dustborn and the like because of it's Diversity in lieu off the now toxic Bimbo?Women being an audience for video games is a joke that doesn't need a punchline, it's evergreen.
>>738675283It is a searing indictment of both feminist puritans desperate to keep sexy women out of video games, and the modern slop consuming male gamer Everyone comes out looking like a idiot here, including me for wasting time playing this slop
>>738674138They're action games intentionally trying to make the action look as cool as possible even if that involves moves that don't really have a practical purpose. There are reasons you'd like DMC and Bayonetta but not Stellar Blade. Still Stellar Blade is a decent choice for someone who loves DMC and Bayonetta.
>>738675683>don't you hate antiwoke? wokes are much betterer>btw i am normal human beanCareful there buddy boi.
>>738675741No, it isn't. The action looks cool in DMC and Bayonetta because of somewhat complex player input. The action looks cool in SB (sometimes) because of canned animations and taking control away from the player to make Eve do something cool
>>738675683The game was too easy (most of the time), the open world was obnoxious and uninspired, and the yellow paint was as yellow paint is, but I enjoyed my time playing it in spite of those flaws, and frankly your primary criticism being "parry slop" is a buzzword excuse to not do any critical thinking when examining gameplay mechanics. People overwhelmingly like Sekiro and that was the most parry centric game ever made.
>>738675973I like a good parryslop, but SB is not a good parryslop
>>738630194you're poor lol
>>738676076Let's be totally honest here. Did you go into this with the intention of giving it a fair shake? You neatly divided your second paragraph of greentexts to make it clear you had disdain for what you imagined it's audience to be and disdain for the sexy korean babe before you booted up the game.
>>738675878DMC and Bayonetta intentionally avoid some harder inputs and try to be very consistent about which button does what so they're easy to learn. Someone who specifically wants to do jump cancelled dive kicks is probably not going to like Stellar Blade, but usually people like DMC and Bayonetta for cool action sequences showing their character avoiding a hit at the last moment and retaliating with a string of moves they selected for looking stylish. SB delivers on that. Again, they're different enough that you might not like them all, but I'd recommend this to a DMC fan over a Tetris fan.
>>738636498Stop this right now or I’m telling on you to Bog Hog.
>>738675375It would be pretty amazing if a timeline had that many top-tier action games.
>>738676470I did, actually. I think you're conflating me with someone else. I liked Sekiro, liked Lies of P, regularly mod my games to have sexy women where there are none. Stellar Blade is a mediocre (at best) game trying to ride off the success of the better games it copies, and a fat ass.
I figured out you can do a jump attack into a crowd of enemies to charge your special meter and then do a special attack to win every encounter so I stopped playing the game.
>>738677145I was conflating you with the OP whom I assumed was still here. Perhaps I'm more generous with the game because a few great boss fights will let me overlook a lot of problems, and insofar as there was a lot of mediocrity in the game it was never so bad that it was frustrating. I just finished Lords of the Fallen 2023 and if there ever were a shitty mediocre soulslike then that is the dictionary example.

>>738679868EVE is an angel with nice booba and chicken legs

Nevermind I realize stellar blade is actually difficult I got filtered for about an hour in the wasteland, that area with the weird underground worm, the horse enemy and the blade monsters. I kneel. Playing hard mode on new game btw
>>738680569It really feels like the difficulty is down to the animation locks preventing you from parrying
>>738679868For me it’s Lily.
>>738680741Yeah. In sekiro you could cancel about anything into parry but not here. It makes the platstyle very boring at first because you're never rewarded for using heavy attacks, unless you know the enemy/boss you're facing and their down times or when to time the heavy cancel charged hits. Special attacks deal 0 damage and are only useful to interrupt animations like the charged heavy attacks (red hue). It's good design actually, but extremely frustrating because I can't mentally picture Eve being a Souls game protagonist. It was easier for me to accept with lies of P because the movement was intentionally heavy in that game, and you controlled some cranky puppet. Here it's a female android that can dash run etc and her stiffness during combat creates dissonance. She would've been a better fit in Bayonetta or DMC
>>738678053The first one was refreshing at the time. Second one less so but still a solid game. Let's not talk about the rest.
>>738679868EVE is supposed to be Korean 2B so she was shilled really hard by koreaboos. But in classic korean style they saw a sexy anime babe in 2B with an iconic design, stripped away all the actual design elements, and then gave her the generic KMMO plastic doll face. I genuinely don't get how a gacha dev, whose entire business model is selling anime girls, dropped the ball on eve's visual design this hard.
>>738630194Filtered lmao
