Funny how a mobile developer's first proper game releases in a finished state, without bugs and puts shame most AAA games.
@user-tp5yb4hr4w10 күн бұрын
Yeah funny that, no excuses about gaming being too expensive to make no excuses about other bullshit things going on in the industry, no bowing down to bullshit ideologies either, now I hear Sony's going to bow down to it though, I hope it's not true but I've been hearing that Sony is trying to censor this game which is the wrong move to make, and it sounds to me like they're being influenced by Black Rock and Vanguard like all the other companies that bow down to the ESG Dogma mentality, problem is if they do this more often, they can effectively destroy their entire platform, I really hope that doesn't happen because it's good to have competition in the gaming market, because it means better games when there's competition, I don't want them to lose their business for some stupid decision they made, I want them to continue to exist.

@@user-tp5yb4hr4w They all want to push the same agenda, even independent studios, but it's only a handfull of dev studios/solo devs the ones who try to make genuinely entertaining video games, Helldivers 2 and Stellar Blade are an example of that (there's a plethora or other games which also do not try to push any sort of agenda, but most of them are "pre culture war".
@DanteMasaru10 күн бұрын
As most seem to overlook, (and/or hate to admit): focusing on content creation and one platform only usually results in a better product. Exclusivity is a testament of a studio's budget, time, and other resources not being split between multiple platforms, which usually results in said resources being more diminished. That's not to belittle or dismiss multiplatform games, but how often less optimized multi-plat games are compared to exclusive games? If one values quality over accessibility, exclusives are a benefit to the consumer. Yoshinori Kitase has gone on record saying that the vastness/scope and volume of FFVII Rebirth wouldn't have been possible if Rebirth was a multiplatform project.

From what I played of the demo, I agree about how fighting multiple enemies feels clunky. I think the biggest issue is that it doesn't really seem like you can cancel attacks to block or dodge. Your stuck committing to them, so finding an opening when surrounded by a mob of weak enemies is a pain. Hopefully that gets mitigated some later in the game, or in a patch at some point, though it might make boss fights _too_ easy, so maybe not. Either way, not as obnoxious as Dark Souls 2's attack queuing, so I'll live.

I didn't really understand the Corvette analogy there at first, but I kinda get it now. The English voice acting is a good example. Eve sounds pretty, shiny, and classy, but 2B and A2 are classic Stingrays that express passion and depth of character. Thinking of giving the Korean voices a try, but I am a simple Jack and can barely walk and chew gum at the same time, let alone read subtitles and play video games.

Looking foward to playing it on PC and hopefully they can polish it up a bit. the attraction is the gourgous protagonist but the star and core of the game is the combat and monsters. sadly that is lost on some people but then so much is for them.

Already preordered it. I am really looking forward to it. At first I thought it would be decent at best but after I played the demo I just fell in love with the gameplay and couldnt get enough. At that point I already knew I would be preordering it even if the story wouldnt be that good. I also already knew about Shift Up since I am playing one of their mobile games and the fact that its such a decent game for their first try in this market is making me hopeful. I am really surprised and hope it sells well so they take more steps into AAA developent in the future!

@@catch-me-niGa as a fan of story games, and someone who looks primarily for a good story, characters and soundtrack first, but also appreciates great gameplay, I couldn't disagree more. A game can have a super fun awesome gameplay loop or combat system, but it won't draw me back into replaying or thinking fondly of the game outside of playing it like a good story, characters and music would. A mechanically fun game will give me a fun time while playing, but I've played a story game that changed my life drastically. A game couldn't do that to me with gameplay.

And that’s why there’s so many freaking bugs and constant patches that’s why we never get them 100% complete. Developers need to invest most of their time and budget into the gameplay and performance rather than realistic cutscenes so much dialogue. Find a way to incorporate the dialogue/story along with the gameplay (ZELDA AND NIER FOR EXAMPLE) Leave all that long ass cutscenes shit for movies. That is all facts

Having played the demo, the comments in this "before you buy" feel very familiar. Fine tuned combat, great visuals, formulaic or borrowed everything else. The only thing the demo doesn’t show is gun play it seems. My experience has been "sci-fi Dark Souls with a poise meter but no stamina". Stellar Blade doesn’t have Bayonetta’s frantic pace or Nier Automata’s somber, reflective atmosphere despite the music tracks.
