We Played the Stellar Blade x NieR Automata DLC-and It’s Every Bit as Incredible as You’d Hope

[@frankgrimito5821]

I CAN'T understand how Stellar Blade wasn't even nominated to the GOTY, FR. 💀

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

It's a good game, but not very great

[@NoisyPixelNews]

yea, I would say even Wukong was a pretty okay action experience. They're both very fun, but I attribute them to say Marvel films where everything served is about what you'd expect. On that though, The Game Awards are pretty lame and a lot of those game choices were mid because none of them were Sand Land :P - Azario

[@EsThirt33n]

I with you on that bro. Personally for me this is my game of the year❤

Bailey had played everything in Stellar Blade, I’m just getting started, but I got a PS5 Pro so Eve and I can be as close as possible (I’m just being funny everyone I promise!) - Azario

[@osricen]

This game and devs really deserve all support from gamers. They're always doing things right (and if there was a misstep, they gave 100 steps the right way to correct it).

Yea it’s about showing up for your community, but also not giving into every nerdy demand they throw at you haha we tend to do the same - Azario

WHOA wait WHAT?. I NEED TO TRY THIS

[@WheeledHamster]

I think you people are God damn high, this game has you collecting cans ands sexy outfit, meanwhile the world, npcs, characters, dialogues, quests, environments are bland as a dog's turd. Sure they're doing right focus on trash more that game quality.

The A2 costume and hairstyle make the game even better for me and we have the music too, perfect for exploring

[@DejayTheDon]

$10 for this dlc is cheap. Idk why a lot of people saying thats kinda expensive. There's multiple games that I play especially fighting games where one outfit is $10+ alone.

[@nevertrumpfromthejump]

9.99 for this dlc is the sweet spot. When first announced, I was hoping for 9.99 and worried it'd be 19.99. Then there was a brief moment people thought it was gonna be free which also bummed me out because I figured free meant nearly nothing added other than an outfit and the photo mode. I think 9.99 is perfect. Especially compared to every other game in the market now that demands 9.99 for a pointless weapon charm or 29.99 for a character skin.

[@Maria_Banks]

SB was copying Automata so hard that square Enix was like “fine, we’ll give you a collab”

[@paulwilson1555]

Outstanding game.

[@JeannieLove]

I literally started days before the collab dlc release date was announced, so I took a break and finally got back to the game this weekend. I tried to find the tears and pictures in Xion and the Wastelands by myself. After that, I gave up and just looked at guides for The Great Desert. I love the war maiden outfit you get.

[@vexicution5533]

When I first saw the gameplay back in 2020 when it was called project eve I was sold immediately. The best thing Kim Hyung Tae said was he want the back of the character to look good, that resonated with me coz I have like a visual aesthetic when it comes to video game characters where the back has to look sick since that is what your seeing most of the time. Shift Up deserves to win GOTY, I was hoping if Stellar Blade won it would let the developers know what we want in videogames, it will encourage Shift Up to make more sick games like Stellar Blade, plus it could encourage developers to start make make games like Stellar Blade (hack & slash) and replicate there practices, Shift Up winning GOTY could of been a plus for gamers but unfortunately that`s not the case. I`m interested in the steam numbers for Stellar Blade, I'm a console player but I hope it sells well coz Shift Up deserves it. If Stellar Blade ever gets a sequel I would love to see the ability to customise your character, make your own "Eve" and the ability to ride your sword to travel the semi-open world if they decide to do that again, if they were to add those two things in the sequel I would be very happy. I`m glad that it`s a hack & slash game that`s getting this much attention and I can be apart of the hype, H&S game have been in the decline over the years but now they are coming back. We have multiple female eye-candies Bayonetta (white), Eve (Korean) now all we need is a Indian and black female eye-candy in a hack & slash game and I would be happy.

[@ether91333]

I wouldn’t say the photo mode puts others to shame. A game like Spider-Man 2 photo mode offers a lot more in its photo mode that i was hoping to see here. But seeing how shift up has been more or less listening to the customers maybe they’ll continue to add some features to photomode later

[@cyborgchimpy]

yeah. as an actual huge fan of stellar blade(I havent finished a game 3 times in a row in over a DECADE): its not like the photo mode and even the DLC is the next coming of Jesus or something. its nice.

[@hydro1025]

Hello everyone, hope all is well. I am thinking about buying Stellar Blade but I’m not sure what to get. Is the new DLC really worth it? Or should I just buy the Digital Deluxe Edition and save the 10$? Or get both DDE and the new DLC? Lemme know what you guys think. Thanks!❤😊

[@TomBrunsdon]

DLC seems to be better value than digital deluxe.

[@georgetek]

Deluxe first. You can always add the DLC later.

[@fernandozavaletabustos205]

Nice DLC!

[@NoisyPixelNews]

very nice ;)

[@phant0mdummy]

using photo mode for gameplay purposes is pretty smart.

[@shadowsnake3867]

Hayys i see so many comments it should have been a game of the year. It's a good game but, it's not on the level of story telling like nier automata did. Game awards it's not rigged it's more what's new and unique each year which developer managed concocted a great mix of game. They can copy from others but, for as long as it was done right it will be a game of the year contender. Stellar blade was 8/10 for me as great gameplay but, they need to improve the story telling department and I don't know why the foreign language is better than English which i felt like they were just reading the lines on English.

[@briankinney3140]

New areas to play through with new suits would of been nice for the holiday.

I was actually hoping for Japanese audio and was surprised it wasn't on the initial western release.

[@tonyjung3967]

Should mention there are two modes to the photo mode, a selfie cam and a general cam. There are accessed differently, selfie is done much the same ways as selecting fishing mode and the general is r1+right(dpad). I find the general cam the better of the two

[@schissgring]

I hoped for a bit more than only costumes, a mission with 2B or something like that

[@Adideva3]

I 100% beat out the game and I was thinking if it is necessary to get the DLC. Does the DLC have it's own story or is it only collectibles?

My only question is. Is it just some costumes you can get from Emil or there's an actual story. Just curious. I don't have a ps5 so I can't play this anyway.

[@shakingaspen1526]

I've bought 2 games this year and this is one of them. I've been sitting on it for couple months just waiting for the right time. Did the update got the DLC : I'm ready to go. The soundtrack sounds great. I've been playing DD2, which has a weak soundtrack, so I play some metal to make up for the silence.

[@TrEndFeVeR22]

Why wasn’t this a game of the year baffles me… they pick something lame trash mobile Korean game to be a game of the year… a game i never heard of.

[@Evanz111]

You mean Balatro? It was ported to mobile, the developer was Canadian, and just because you haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it wasn’t the biggest indie title to release on Steam this year. Why call something lame, trash and Korean if you don’t even know what it is? Such a narrow world view.

[@avendurree]

Any weapons from Nier Automata?

[@wertywerrtyson5529]

Still waiting for the physical copy to drop in price since it’s still full price at least in my country. I tried the demo and it seems good but I’m not that great at these sorts of games. And what little free time I have goes towards the Trails series.

[@VerumLeonhart]

If you have ps plus try the trial it’s more updated than the demo. For example parrying is a lot easier now

[@EpiKerCovers]

So there is no new story? :(

[@jcraftgaming76]

not this time. but this was named “dlc 1” so i’m sure we will get at least one full expansion

The photo mode and Emil are new content. But actually, I guess it boils down to what you consider content, skins are technically new content, but if you don’t think it is, then that’s cool. - Azario

Better be good considering you're paying $10 for a few skins

[@zahrans]

Considering the number of free updates and loot they have offered and how Shift Up had every opportunity in the world to add in microtransactions but still stuck to their pledge of 'No Microtransactions Outside of Potential Crossover Collaborations', I'd say they fully deserve that $10.

[@jcraftgaming76]

rather give shift up 10$ than a company like activision😂

[@wood1066]

Try to imagine how much all the free skins in this game would cost if any other company made it. Does $10 really sound that bad for a bunch Collaboration costumes and music?

[@Hobzgood]

10 dollars for all these skins when activism would make you pay 20-25 for them

[@Synest2]

I'm also very skeptical on buying skins, there are games I play for 12+ years that I haven't bought a single DLC or skin for, but given the ammount of content that comes from this Nier DLC, and the ammount of free content post-launch that the devs have been providing with updates, I'd buy this without thinking twice would rather spend 10$ on that to support a respectable company that loves what it does (Along with Yoko Taro, since obviouslly Square Enix gets something from this and it's good for the Nier IP to still be relevant since he's working on a new game that could or could not be a new Nier) than to give EA, Activision or Ubisoft any money for any of their overpriced everything outside of the base game, some games will charge you 25$ for a SINGLE skin
