Astonishingly stylish combat and a fantastic soundtrack help elevate this game.
Stellar Blade developer Shift Up has teased more suits and future content updates, and has also discussed plans for a sequel.
This game reminds me of when my daughter used to play the Bratz dress-up game on the Gamecube.
Pretty sure in the bratzs game you also finish off a boss by cutting off it's arms and impaling it to a wall. Both games are well know for their violence. 🙃🤣
People seem more excited about the cute dress-up outfits rather than the actual game.
@thesoftware730
So, games with alternate costumes like fighting games, games like Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, hell let’s say the Souls-like games when you’re choosing cool looking sh*t for builds and crap ton of other games that do this are like the Bratz game?
Like, why in the f*ck do people get all douchey when a game is about titillation. You play Halo or anything? Do you like “dressing up” Chief? I guarantee you this wouldn’t be a response for Street Fighter 6 season pass costumes. I enjoyed running through RE4 Remake with different costumes, not once did I think it’s “dress-up.”
I know you thought you were being clever with the snarky comment, but instead you just sh*t the bed with it. Devil May Cry must also be like Bratz with the alternate outfits… Geezus, sometimes I just can’t with the comment diarrhea some people spray on this site.
I'm guessing because it's another game that you wanna play, but your pride won't let you...?
So?...err, I mean No!
Nah, my backlog is too big at the moment, and the demo was just ok for me.
I won't get it anytime soon unless my daughter wants to play a dress-up video game again. It would be kind of strange as she is 28 years old, lol.
@thesoftware730
You backlog doesn't seem to be an issue when Xbox release a game.
Tust me, this game is amazing. It's better than anything Xbox has put out this generation.
The demo is barely scratching the surface.
@Versus,
No, but I think that sounds awesome because the Bratzs sucked, so dismembering them in a game may have been fun.
The latest US sales data is out, and while hardware may be down for the big 3, software is ruling the day, including Stellar Blade topping the charts
Must be weird for Xbox fans to see Sea Of Thieves at number 4 on the NPD charts
No it's more funny than weird. Cause ps fans swore SoT was bad and didn't interest them at all 😂
Everyone knows a game can change in 6 years. The beta testers on xbox one are apparently laughing so you tell me. Well the definitive edition players look to be enjoying themselves. Thanks for your service
Well, would you look at that Sony! Guess there’s an audience after all for this stuff.
I wonder where the change from "NPD" to "Circana" ranks on the chart of lamest rebrands? And yes I know it changed awhile ago it just annoys me every time I see it.
Stellar Blade deserves it, it's just a gorgeous well-optomized working right out of the box game. Would plat all over again.
Famitsu: "About a month has passed since the release of Stellar Blade It is said that an update including a new mode will be implemented on May 24, 2024, so we interviewed Director Kim Hyung-tae and Technical Director Lee Dong-gi again. We asked him about the future prospects for this work."
Straight for the horse mouth, "I already found it difficult to get invested in the characters and the story Stellar Blade is trying to tell when it’s selling itself the way it is."
The writer was already writing it off before playing it. Hence the score. It's so blatant it's hard to ignore. This is the very definition of bias.
The review praises gameplay and sound...so pretty much 80% of the game.
So the writer actually wanted to give an 8/10 but because of the imposed controversy they were forced to give it lower.
You don't give a game, which you confess having tons of fun with, a 6/10
Reposting my deleted comment (thanks Mods!):
Here it is!
This is a click-bait review. Can't even read it on a phone unless you get lucky and the banner shows the "Continue" action.
Continuing the drama this game has gone through, Videogamer subverts our expectations by not being immediately forced to the front page, but guarantees discourse and clicks by being tied for the worst-scoring review.
This reviewer, a Guide writer that likes RPGs but only names mobile games... (Comment history ends there)
I went on to say this reviewer consistently gives 6's to hardcore console games. This, Ronin, and Granblue back to back.
Why does N4G feel the need to erase comments calling out low quality websites and reviews?
Having a skin tight suit and bouncing tits wasn't gonna make this game of the year, and for those of you who thought it would...seek help lol. From day one I knew this game was gonna be average to below average. Its noting but a fan service game.
The writer praised the game but doesn't like beautiful women, so he/she gave it a 6.
