It's seriously gone beyond expectations this one xD First all the idiotic bitching about the game, the "comebacks" and counter "comebacks"... Now the Free Stellar Blade petition is closing in to 75000 signatures(YEah I also signed it)!
YIKES! XD
Hope it doesn't stop since this is entertainment in itself.
Oh and, BTW, the game is fucking awesome! Beyond all expectations!
I had to force myself to turn it off since my adrenaline and dopamine pumps are on a max! That says enough, but just a little extra ;)
The game looks amazing. Way better than on YT vids. OK, on a 4K TV with HDR of course it looks better. Point is that the game just looks superb, better than thought.
I noticed the main inspirations instantly while playing, butt, it soon becomes more of it's own thing. So one worry out of the way.
Great lighting effects, animations, very good facial details/animation.
The music is also damn fine. Not Nier:A fine because that would be insane, but it's very, truly great. Sets the mood. And mood it has*
Another worry out of the way.
Gameplay is kinda of a mix of Souls-like and Bayonetta? It's ruthless, no mercy stuff. But still has a big variety of combos which gives of those Bayo vibes.
And yes, timing is life or death here!
Perfect parry/dodging and then counters for rewards etc, but also different combos with the "do get to know your enemy!" thing.
Basically another worry out of the way. Very satisfying gameplay.
Also, the use of the Dualsence! You can feel that rain =D
Story so far has me intrigued, but I basically know too little to say if it's good or bad. Curious to see who is who, what is what and why is why. Can't imagine it will touch Nier:A levels, but that's not the point. It's it's own thing after all.
Not as over-the-top as Bayonetta or Lollipop Chainsaw though... Knew that.
The "fanservice" with jiggly boobz is there but not as much as in the intro videos. Or hard to focus on them because all the action, but it's very well made when you see it.
Basically a very promising game for those of us who likes this shit. Very so. It went beyond expectations in most ways, and not so much in other departments. I was already sold, now I am not regretting that preorder. Can't wait to get back from work tomorrow and go at it again.
Do NOT, by the way, play this in graphic mode. That needs some serious patching since the framerate drops way too much and the, by comparing, graphical difference isn't even noticeable, really. Play in balanced mode and you'll be fine =)
Can't wait for the release!
...not boobs, but her long hair!
Well, if you like what the game looks like or not you have to admit these people are dedicated to realize their vision.
And my backlog is going CRAZY for this news.
Sony has a huge draught coming they have admitted. Xbox doesn't seem to have anything of interest at all(all the new stuff will take time to develop). And form the rumours, the Switch 2 will release in Q1 25.
Well I get Stellar Blade (can't wait) and still some nice PSVR 2 games (apart from Sony themselves from the looks of things). Fuck! I might really get FF7R2 too. But rest seems to be backlog year. YAY!
I understand why Ryan left now. He had to run away from his mistakes xD
