Does Stellar Blade Live Up To The Hype?

My review of Stellar Blade for PS5!

[@JackOLantern0987]

Short answer: yes. Long answer: YES!

[@IvaNTheUnStoppable]

Meanwhile I'm just over here hoping that this game motivates people to put the next Bayonetta installment on PS5 so we can see Bayonetta with actual epic PS5 level graphics! Imagine Bayonetta with Stellar blade graphics! With jiggle physics and a whole bunch of different outfits!

[@julioperez2742]

Knowing how Sony is right now, I don’t have hope for that at the moment.

[@KHhero]

Definitely looks like a fun&sexy action-packed stellar sci-fi adventure! Hope to play it if I ever get a PS5 again someday or if it comes to PC eventually. Speaking of games coming to PC, the KINGDOM HEARTS - Steam Announcement Trailer premieres at 11am EST today! :D Hopefully the KH Steam announcement trailer won't spoil any main story scenes of the series games like alot of KH3/Rebirth trailers may have if you end up reacting to it? But it's said to feature Utada's new re-recording ver of Simple & Clean so that's cool ^_^

[@KHhero]

Yea.. Big spoilers for all KH games through the ending/dlc of KH3 including key plot line quotes spoken back2back. Typical Square Enix overhype the spoilery trailers department lmao. Nice song re-recording tho 😅

[@davidblainescharizard]

Yeah even Rebirths last trailer was filled with stuff I wanted to unsee! I dunno why SE has to keep doing this to us

[@TheTacosKey]

@@davidblainescharizard speaking of Square im going to try streaming a little tomorrow morning ill be doing achievement hunting in KH1 so you wont get any spoilers if you want to check it out

[@Harrison11106]

No doubt in my mind the game will come to PC, probably Steam, once the exclusivity deal with Sony ends. You can bet that modders will have a field day putting back certain outfits as they were originally.

[@djbigq1]

compared to the bs out today especially from Western game Devs, Hell yes it does!!

[@Harrison11106]

Yup, & western devs once upon a time made games like this, or tried to. The closest I can think of is Bulletwitch.

[@largesmallworld]

When I look out my window I want to see gorgeous scenery and not landfill. This applies to fictional media I consume.

[@Harrison11106]

I can only tell you from my side. This game says "play me" in the way Baldurs Gate 03 (PC version) said "play me". Is the game a masterpiece? No, it does have weaknesses. One being the story, which is meh. But just as no one watches a Kung fu flick for it's story, the same goes for this game. The other was/is the English voices, I just can't stand them. I switched to the original (South) Korean voices with English subs ASAP. Good fun minigames, cans & costumes to find. You can bet that when the OST officially hits, I'll be adding that to my collection. In terms of data size, for all it gives you the game is fairly small, 25 GB.

[@doubledown1138]

YES

[@jhp9803]

I think the characters in this game are intentional rather than mistakes. Adam is a man who lived for hundreds of years. He is an Elder, and his real identity is Raphael Marks. In the last part, he confessed. He talks about himself. He's tired of all this. That's why his voice always sounds tired. The direction of the voice acting is closer to Asian style rather than Western style. I think that’s why it looks awkward to Westerners.

[@Harrison11106]

One of the reasons I switched it over to the original (South) Korean voices with English subs ASAP. I learned that lesson long ago with anime.

[@andrewtimms5796]

like the look of this but i am just playing lies of P and don't know if i want more of the same just yet in terms of learning parry timings haha

[@christopherway2546]

No, it’s totally different from P. Yes it has a parry mechanic but that’s not the only mechanic and you can even get upgrades that make the window for parry/blink/repulse doable with the controller laying on the coffee table. Stellar Blade is much better than P.

[@zZiL341yRj736]

Nope, I got bored to death playing it. Wonky controls and platforming, boring quests, even more boring world, the fast travel system payphone is just a cluster fuck. Disappointing because I was hyped for this. They focused more on the sexy outfits than the entirety of the game.

[@davidblainescharizard]

Thats fair, I think it really depends on if the combat mechanics click with you or not. If I didn't have fun with the battles then I think this game wouldn't have hit nearly as hard, but I thought the combat was actually pretty solid.

[@jhp9803]

@@davidblainescharizard you are kind. He's just a hater. That guy said he was looking forward to the game before it came out. I think he's lying.

[@jhp9803]

​@@davidblainescharizard If what that guy says is true, he might have played the demo version. The full game isn't much different from the demo version. if he was so hyped after playing the demo version, there's no way he'd be disappointed with the action parts in the full game. Some people want more arcade elements in action games. In that point, this game is more static than arcade elements. Maybe he wasn't very good at parrying or dodging. Although I can respect his stance on criticizing this game, I can't listen to bullsXXX about focusing on sexy outfits than making good game. He's treating people who enjoy the combat and action of this game as idiots.

[@djbigq1]

@@davidblainescharizard nah this dude is mad the women wasn't trans and looked fat!! Also he mad cause it wasn't microtransactions throughout the game!!

[@zZiL341yRj736]

I got bored to death playing this game, the side quests are shit, the world design are boring, NPCs and dialogues are boring, the fast travel system via payphone is utterly annoying when your doing quests.

[@DaniLovesArtXD]

why the hell did u buy it? if u got bored to death.
