After All That, Stellar Blade's Eve Is Nothing Like We Expected

Stellar Blade fans wanted Eve to stick it to the man, but she feels too tame and most reactions say she should have gone further.

"Stellar Blade fans wanted Eve to stick it to the man"

I haven't seen a single fan say that, honestly not even one, am I missing something

Crows9018d ago

You're not. Mainstream loves to be creepy. They love imposing stereotypes and pushing their own agenda into others.

LoveSpuds18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Don't call the gamer.com 'mainstream' Crow, you'll only encourage them🤣. The problem these days is there are no journalistic standards in video games media.

Even the mainstream sites such as IGN and Gamespot are too close to 'the industry' to really be of any use. But outside of the mainstream, anyone can run a website without the barest minimum of standards.

sounds more to me like they wanted the man to stick it to her...

romulus2318d ago (Edited 18d ago )

This whole article is a game "journalist" complaining becasue a video game character "isn't sexy enough". Is this really what it's come to?

The world is divided into two factions. Those who want 25% visibility of butt crack and those who fight for 26% visibility.

It's a war I am willing to fight....Where's my pitchfork!

I love how Ring Fit Adventure pops it's head back in the top 10 telling us that people ate too much during golden week!

I laughed my ass of at the score.

coolbeans7h ago

Yeah. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and read what they have to say, but it's suspicious in the face of other recent indies that've been praised.

Levii_9220h ago

I bet Edge is gonna give Breath of the Wild 3.0 a 10 again.

Anyone else playing Stellar Blade and made it to the Great Desert?

I felt the story barely had us do anything here but there are a lot of side quests taking us back and the framerate is kind of all over the place. Curious if anyone else is noticing the same?

It's the only blemish so far in what's surprisingly become my current GOTY.

Levii_9220h ago

I don't see how can the framerate be all over place? It's litteraly one of the most stable games released, unless maybe you have it on Balanced mode, put it on Resolution or Framerate mode.

And yes the Great Desert is almost exclusively just a gorgeous big zone for side quests and fun.

Tacoboto20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Yeah that's what's surprising me - the rest of the game even on Balanced feels like a solid 60fps (and my display is 120hz VRR).

But even on Prioritize Performance it feels like it struggles in certain spots only in the Great Desert. The Buried Ruins section felt like the roughest area but another one was more into the desert near a statue with scaffolding wrapped around (and a dozen or so enemies including the tentacles).

All the side quests I had there are done now so I may only return now to fish again. But framerate aside I agree - it's one of the more beautiful gaming deserts and this game's side quests have been way more nice and varied than I thought they'd be.

Levii_9220h ago

I have to say i haven't explored the Great Desert 100% maybe just 40%, i plan on exploring everything there on NG+ so i don't know how Buried Ruins feel yet and also i'm running the game unpatched so maybe that's it i don't know but for me the Great Desert is perfect framerate wise if it's not on Balanced mode.

I absolutely agree man, the game is much more than i thought it would be in terms of content, exploration, collectables, secrets and side quests. Classic video game stuff! None of the modern BS. It's my GOTY as well so far.

VersusDMC20h ago

From what i remember the 2 open world hubs only have 1 story mission each. The gun missons. Most of the open world sections are for side missions, upgrades, cans,costumes, etc. Still fun to run around and discover some wierd puzzles there.

I feel like there are some fps dips but not all over the place.

And for people who don't do enough of the side missions...know that you will be locked out of a section of the game if you don't do enough. Fill that lily bar to 100%.

Elda15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

Stellar Blade a 6? That score is blasphemy. Score should be a 9, no lower than an 8. It's GOTY.

badz14912h ago

It's EDGE! The only games they are generously rating are Nintendo games.

Michiel198912h ago

so the 10 they gave to Last of Us, LBP and Bayonetta also were rigged? or only if you don't agree with it?

GhostMirror12h ago

Such a good game! I’ve put about 55 hours into it. I don’t regret buying a PS5 to play it.

buffig12h ago

Stellar Blade deserves more than 6 for the Raven boss fight alone!

robtion1h ago

Finished it 3 times and just got the platinum. Amazing game.
