I just beat Stellar Blade with the true ending and not a single second of it made any damn sense. The Adam ass pull, fusion, mother sphere kid, none of it.And you are excited for the sequel? Did you even play the original?
Yes and yes
Yes.
Raven should've been the final bossI couldn't give a shit about beating the elder mutant
>>741344736Yes. No.
>>741344736I'm slogging through the first third or so of the game where it's just generic ruins and samey parryslop combat with rollslop exploration.Does it get any better? Because even code vein 2 was better than this shit.
>>741344736Yes. Yes.
You know how anons say that porn games are bad games and bad porn? I feel like this might be even worse for some reason. I think about buying it for political reasons, but I don't think about playing it even though the Raven character is literally perfect looking.
>>741344736Yeah, idgaf about the story
>>741344962no
Yeah it sucks and the new one has a little boy
>>741344736Yes, yes.
Somebody didn't read the lore notes scattered around. I guess that's what happens when casuals finally play a game only because of sudden sequel hype.
>>741344962>Why is the apocalyptic game taking place in the apocalypse
>>741345087I will never read a single note in a gameFuck your lazy storytelling
>>741344736Worst, most overrated game I’ve ever playedIt’s definitely in my top 10 most hated games, perhaps even number 1When I saw it was a Korean companies very first AAA non gacha game I was skeptical and totally right, I’m shocked it has the support it does
>>741345161>too lazy to readLike I said; Casual.
>>741345220Casual storytelling
>>741345110Even code vein 2 has more varied environments despite it being all ruins.Even rollslop itself is better with this than stellar blade, which has exactly three types of zones.>Sandy urban ruins.>Bushy urban ruins.>Mall urban ruins.And jack shit aside from this.
>>741345087>bro if you read the glorified wiki filler the game is akshually good!not even that, it's literally just humies LITERALLY coping and seething over the mother sphere giving no shits about anyone but her homebrew sex slave combat organic-botspeople that joke around saying the game is just nier automata but gook aren't joking, it's literally that
>>741344736yesyes
Most people agree the story sucks and the environments were lacking outside of a few really cool areas.>2 open world desert zones for fucks sakeWe all hope the sequel fixes this and from the short trailer we've seen the new city looks cool.
>>741346040It sounds like they are going to overcorrect and have most of the game take place in a city zone smaller than the one in yakuza games.Which mind you would be great on paper, but they would have to really put effort to not make it feel repetitive.
>didn't pay attention to the story>the story didn't make sense!...
>>741346115I'll still take that over a goddamn desert. I actually miss yakuza/way of the samurai/persona style zones.
>>741344736I've no idea what's happening with people's attention spans.The Raven hologram scenes literally spell out the entire story, no ifs or buts, everything is made crystal clear. Were you too busy scrolling your phone during those scenes? What part did you not understand?
>>741346121>actually pay attention with the story>it sounds like a gook that knows nier automata off video essays speedwrote it
>>741346115It sounds like you pulled that out of your ass.
>>741344736>playing games for the plotWhy do people do this? Why not just watch a movie?
>>741346454The "humans were the monsters" all along is Nier Replicant's plot, not Automata's. At least get that right.
>>741346484It's more like copium.Do you really want a GTAV style map where 90% of it is empty space to make you waste time walking/driving from area to area?
>>741346586Nigger what are you talking about did you not play the first game. The city is not gonna be the only area.
>>741346496A movie? Read a book you fucking retard
>>741344736haha Eve's ass goes brrrrrr
>>741346496I want to interact with the environment around me and not be a spectator watching it from my cuckchair
>>741346751What are you shooting at, soldier?
>>741346843into a tissue lmao
>>741345296From games have amazing storytelling and most of it is written on items and stuff
>>741346447It's not that I didn't understand it's that it doesn't make sense.
>>741347043What part didn't make sense?It's a pretty basic story:>scientist creates an AI waifu>she creates advanced androids and decides to wipe out humanity>said scientist now starts messing with gene splicing to hopefully beat the androids>ends up turning all surviving humans into monsters>AI waifu censors all of the above and pretends the androids are the real humans>that scientist was Adam, you can kill him or take his offer at the end
>>741346906
>>741347189A robot and a man touch hands and magically fuse into one being Also there is like zero reason for Raven to fight us ever if Adam is planning to join with us, which she does know btw
>>741347189The entire orbital section actually didn't matter.
Didnt even the developers admit and apologize about the story being the weakest part of the game?That should be the only indictment needed
>>741347334Let's be honest, story in a game being shit is a literal non-issue.However when the plot constantly interrupts gameplay with unskippable cutscenes that end up being mostly completely fucking pointless to the actual plot, it does become an issue.If the cutscenes, even the short ones whenever you rested at a new not-campfire, were fully skippable no questions asked less people would have bitched.And that's assuming they are skippable, just not intuitively with the "hold the button" shit, because if they aren't skippable the first go around then that's even worse.
>>741345195(You) are trans btw
>>741345929It also has a snowy area and a space elevator level.
Yes, and yes.But you're 100% right, the story was ass. You just ignore it.
>>741347245Yeah because eve is a really advanced robot that's kind of like a living thing
>>741344736>The Adam ass pull>they are literally called Adam and Eve>mother sphere was only mentioned like 200 timesyou're braindead
>>741344985Nah, this game is better than any other fanservice game.
>>741344985Nah, I had more fun with this game's combat than slop like Witcher and Skyrim (which are the types of games that are glazed by people who hate this one)
>>741347334Yes, even before the first game came out the CEO gave out interviews basically saying they see the narrative as a shortcoming. They've recently been emphasizing that they're working on a better story and characters.
>>741344923This. Kill Raven, then in a cutscene kill Adam
>>741347245Raven is seething about Adam not choosing her.Her entire character is one big woman moment.
>>741347334I don't really care about the story in a game unless it is actively annoying me.
>>741347189Why is every modern story about the dangers of AI?AI's don't have consciousness, they're literally programs that only process the tasks you give them. Sure, you can chat with Google Gemini and it almost feels like talking to a human, but like it tells you it has no memory outside of this chat instance, and will forget everything you told it once you close the window. It's not self-learning, it's just a fancy search & look up tool basically.It's very likely that in the future someone will put this tech in a good sexdoll, but the same principles will apply. She will not try to take over the world lmao
>>741349779>good sexdollGOOK sexdoll lmaoBut yeah, all these AI bad stories are getting tiresome, from Stellar Blade to Digital CIrcus, it's all the same narrative, what the hell man
>>741349779That's because the sci Fi conception of AI has always been that of a sentient machine that is self aware. Modern AI is basically just advanced auto complete, on the other hand. AI companies just called this technology "AI" to capitalize on the sci Fi trope. And it has clearly made them rich.
>>741349779Because the retards pushing the shit have to constantly make it sound like it has consciousness.
>>741349023its not even better than compile heart slop and that's a really low barthe only thing it wins on is production values/graphics and it goddamn better beat CHslop with literal millions with it's budget
>>741346625Or that. I assumed OP couldn't read since he's getting his storytelling from a video game.>>741346806But that's impossible through gaming. You're only interacting with the controller and you'll still be sat down, unless you're playing VR.
>>741346906>From games have amazing storytelling
>>741344736i have souls-like fatigue
What is wrong with this game's puzzle sections? Wall runs..then jumping puzzles that are absolutely horrible
>>741344736>ass pull>nothing made sensedon't skip dialogues and read lore retard
I just got to the first boss "Abbadon", playing on the hardest difficult and have died quite a few times on the way there.I feel like even against trash i deal very little dmg, but w/eGame seems serviceable enough
>>741356003Hard mode is meant for ng+ and will suck ass for 60% of the game or till you get enough skills unlocked.now gimme more HaneAme
>>741349779>they're literally programs that only process the tasks you give themThey're not even that. They simply randomly generate tokens in attempt to replicate training data with various degree of success.
>>741349779>Why is every modern story about the dangers of AI?I liked the take on that from the latest 007 game.It made it feel a bit more "lower stakes" than cataclysmic failures by an overzealous AI, and also made the person behind the AI not a maniac bent on controlling the world
>>741344736Yes. The story and writing are utter dogshit tier, but it's fun enough to play.
>>741356348>Hard mode is meant for ng+Hrmm i might actually go down to normal, i just take too long killing anythingI dont mind the enemies hitting me hard but taking a minute to kill anything or a couple minutes for those shielded barnacle enemies is simply too much.Might change it down after the boss, only gave him one try and he seemed killable.
>>741358376go through the skill lists, there are some strong light/heavy combos Eve has access to from the get goMoar
>>741359019Nah i just put it in normal and i was dealing maybe 3x dmg to the boss while it was hitting me for maybe 4x less dmgI didnt imagine it would be such a difference, so yeah i dont think hard mode was meant for a first playthrough. I just demolished the boss when before this he would 2 shot me during the lighting phase
