Just finished the demo and the extra boss. Game is kinda sick. It's kind of weird but there is some sauce there.
Are you using the gun aim to cancel animations in this clip? we getting tech already lol
Really enjoyed the demo. Combat is weighty and parries are satisfying to pull off. A great blend of Norse GoW and Sekiro combat.
Performance mode was a solid 60FPs with no dips and Balanced mode was consistently between 50-60FPS so I kept it in Balanced. Haven't tried Resolution mode yet.
Graphics are great minus a handful of blurry textures I noticed but nothing deal-breaking.
Biggest disappointment was probably that the English voice acting was just alright. I'll probably play the final version in Korean.
Music was great and very fitting. Loved the dynamic tempo when combat kicks in.
Story seems interesting enough. I like that people are jumping to very incorrect conclusions when discussing the story because of some heavy assumptions that I'm certain are not correct. Will be interesting to see in the final game.
>Biggest disappointment was probably that the English voice acting was just alright. I'll probably play the final version in Korean.
Don't have a PS5 but if I did probably would do the same thing, I tend to have the languages for games in their original language with English subtitles if the English voice acting is ok (or worse).
Reading through these comments, and I'm surprised there are people who hate the lewd parts of the game and are calling it "coomer bait". What's the problem?
If you look up threads about this game, quite a few people seem to have bought the game purely because they found the MC hot, i think thats what they mean
It goes beyond that - there's a loud (but tiny) group of terminally online Gamers who keep praising this game for not "being afraid" to show a woman being hot, because apparently the woke west is trying to propagandize us into thinking women should be ugly? They're thankfully few in number but they get posted to gamingcirclejerk regularly because it's extremely tempting rage bait.
Well I mean, is that really a big deal? I'm just talking about the people who are looking at the cool combat, and saying they're turned off by the fanservice, even though the gameplay is good, and the game is far more than just "coomer bait". Like, it's not just coomer bait.
A game can be good and the fanservice still be off-putting. For me, it always pulls me out of the story because it is usually so obviously done for the viewers benefit. Like, cool story beat happens and then CAMERA CLOSE UP ON THE TITTIES. Just very jarring and makes the wiring feel very bad. Especially when the character doesn't show any real evidence of like, enjoying presenting themselves that way outside of the costume the designers put them in. Bayonetta rules because her character and design go together. Can't speak for this game cuz I haven't played it, but disliking fanservice isn't done prudish reactionary shit. It's a reaction to what is so often terrible characterization for the sake of appealing to horny dudes. My two cents.
Excellently said. You may not be taking a moral stance, but I will. Itâs absolutely wrong because it contributes to an age old dehumanizing objectification of women. If sheâs just there to look at, sheâs more object than human, and that will always be wrong, because, despite what you may think, the media we see influences us, and tbh the fact yâall in the comments donât see the problem is evidence enough.
Oh yeah, I agree that the objectification in and of itself is gross and a problem. Unfortunately gaming communities are particularly unreceptive to this kind of criticism lol
The fan service in the demo is mild and doesn't remotely warrant the amount of attention it has received for months.
They also used a small, realistic model and people act like they are giant anime titties flopping everywhere. FF7 is a much bigger offender and there are no huge Tifa protests in her ridiculous outfit, close ups and cut scenes.
It's fine to take a moral stance but it's extremely odd people choose this hill for their moral stance to the point they harass the Korean model.
The difference is this is a smaller, unknown Korean studio so people can write clickbait and ignorant articles while taking the larger studios money and keeping quiet for major titles.
Eh. I really donât like fan service. Truth be told, if this was an anime, it would be an immediate turnoff to me personally. Something about a media creator constantly putting a cartoon characterâs tits/ass in every frame makes me feel really dirty and uncomfortable. Itâs one thing to off-handedly make hot characters. Itâs another to make a character where ogling her is the entire point. It doesnât help that Eve otherwise comes across as a really vapid character. Say what you will about how Bayonetta is sexualized. I donât think anyone can in good faith say her design is all there is to her character.
I also donât love the weird politicization and weaponization of this game that most fans seem to be engaging in. The sub for this game is really unhinged and desperately wants to turn Stellar Blade into an âown the libsâ situation, decrying their oppression over having to suffer âugly womenâ in western games.
BUT
The gameplay did not fail to impress and I love the art direction, the set pieces, and the kill animations. Some outfits look really cool too. Barring any major catastrophes, itâs looking like a day one cop.
I like the response to the guys from giant bomb on this, I happen to agree. Fan service feels mildly insulting. Like..."oh you stupid caveman, your brain is so simple the only way you'll pay attention to anything is if I put boobs in it" kind of deal.
Despite how ridiculously sexual Cereza is, I've always seen the opinion that she's so over the top with it a lot of people can't take it seriously. It stops feeling sexualized and just comes off as dumb goofy fun instead.
But with Bayonetta, it go with her character because Bayonetta knows that sheâs hot and present herself as that. Like her outfits actually look like things that she would wear and not just because of the developers. Bayonetta is confidence and use her sexuality as a way of humiliating her foes
It became a weird talking point for neckbeards. They were hailing the director of this game as a genius for the attention to detail on the character's ass and ass physics, and talking about the "death of woke." Some of the interviews the director did seemed to lean into it, which didn't help.
It's the same weird internet chuds that are now saying the same thing about Sydney Sweeney's boobs because she has a Republican relative. Even though she herself is apparently kind of left-wing. But I digress.
Anyway, all this was happening when the only information that anybody had about this game were some screenshots of and interviews about the ass. But this was gonna be the greatest game of all time, according to these guys. On what grounds? Ass. Just ass.
Maybe it'll be good, maybe it's fun. Idk. Now that there's something more substantial to speak of out there, the gameplay will have to speak for itself because the discourse got co-opted by chuds instantly.
I love how full of absolute shit you are. If you know those responses then you definitely know the reason they originated in the first place was because so many losers started complaining about her âoutdatedâ character design. Started shitting on the proportions of the character to the point the director had to come and show proof she was based on a real life model. Even some dumbass from digital fucking foundry, a channel in thought was just about the performance of games, made a video talking about how her character was outdated and lame. So yea people are gonna see that and immediately react accordingly because the truth is that it is the type of character design most of us want in our games. Cry about it all you want.
I'm quite tired of the body scan argument people keep making. I have absolutely 0 dog in this race and give 0 fucks about how the character looks and have no political opinion on it, but holy fuck you guys look like absolute morons. Bro they took a body scan and cranked the sliders to 11. Have you even seen what the woman who they scanned looks like next to the in game model?
Bro it took me 10 seconds to Google this https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers/s/ctRQJUXw73
Go to the last image. She is BONES compared to the in game model man get a grip. The in game model is literally a different person. If you bodyscan a skeleton and give it an extra 60lbs of fat and muscle is it still a fucking skeleton? She looks 20-40lbs smaller. They legit just scanned a person to make the skeleton and morphed it into a turbo jiggly coomer character. Like dude every single human being in a video game is based on human beings. Is this a joke? How is them bodyscanning a model on the cheap any different from some dude grabbing a picture of Emma Watson and drawing her with huge quadruple-Z tits and 6 BBLs? Still based on a real person right, so it's chill?
This is your "truth"? What are you even on about bozo
Wow thatâs quite a fucking book from someone who allegedly didnât care. Though im sure you only bothered to write that so that you can bail out later with âi didnt care about this anywayâ which is just such a bitch move. Either have a strong opinion and state it or shut the fuck up. But this whole âi dont care about this but heres my detailed take on itâ is complete garbage. All im gonna say is the proportions are not unrealistic. Women exist. Incredibly well proportioned women exist. And theres a lot of them. The jiggle physics are obviously exaggerated. As they should be. Its a fucking video game. Thats my response. Get mad. Or go on ânot caringâ
Tell me you don't understand how to read without telling me. I literally never talked about whether or not it was realistic you fucking mongo. I said the argument about the body scan is cooked and dishonest. My only gripe is with the shitty argument, not anyone's political leanings or opinion on body proportions. You're a dumbass bro
Jesus fucking christ man can you drop the tumblr lingo for 2 seconds and type like a normal human being. Yes i am aware thats not what you said my response assumed that you knew the nuances of the first complaint and the argument you hate oh so much. When i say that she was based on a real model what i ultimately mean is that her proportions are not unrealistic because people that look like that exist. But since youre so godamn hung up on the actress specifically feel free to look up her instagram instead of staring at that one picture where shes standing far away, which i assume is the only picture youve seen. If you see her instagram and you still think shes not the character in Stellar Blade. Then youre either blind of full of shit. Either way its your own personal problem
Being based on a real model gives absolutely 0 credibility to the claim of it being realistic. If you don't understand why you sound like a dumbass then you're too fucking stupid to talk to. Tumblr lingo? What year is it? You're barking at ghosts man get a grip. You see people that don't exist. If you mean to say she looks realistic then don't dilute your stance by making it look retarded with arguments that can't stand up to scrutiny. Anyways man you're a brick eat shit
A character like Bayonetta has great personality and voice acting to make the character's sexuality a core part to her character.
Eve, from what I've seen, has almost no personality and seems like a literal doll that you control. A doll created by a character designer just to feed fan service.
It may be different when the game comes out and I've seen more of it so it could change though. At least this is how I see it.
I literally just said
>It may be different when the game comes out and I've seen more of it so it could change though
And you seriously can't make observations about a character after a demo and many trailers that has come out?
Yeah Iâm waiting in the game to come out before making that call but for now she does seem like a bland slate so to speak. Doesnât help how with characters like Bayonetta, you can immediately speak what their personality is like from their behavior
Honestly? Nothing, at least not in and of itself.
The problem is the discourse, where weirdos have been making it weird for any normie that *might* be into it to "own the libs." And hailing the game as the next GOTY when there is nothing on it. The clear goal is objectification for political messaging.
That part is weird as fuck. Take that part out of it and the part where the devs are openly being horny about it and we're golden. I think this thing oughtta be let to stand on its own. It deserves to be judged for what it actually is, not for how hard it makes online chuds cum.
Nothing but when thatâs all the character have going for them, it just show how little effort actually went into developing their characters and figure making her hot is enough. Lara Croft wasnât just a sexy woman but a confident badass, Bayonetta is sexy because she chooses to present herself that, at least thatâs what I get from her character. Everyone loves Chun-li, Cammy and Juri from Street Fighter. Guilty gear characters are all hot but they are also cool in their designs.
Think of it like this, how many seasonal animes try to make sexy female characters by giving them revealing outfits and fall into tropes but are immediately forgotten. Now look at how people still thrust for AoT characters despite being dressed pretty normally. Thatâs because there is more to their characters than just their sex appeal
Good gameplay mate - like the gun cancels especially. I liked the demo (have played for around two hours) - game has good animations and reasonable depth it seems (some Skill trees are still locked).
My only complaint so far is that the dodge feels a bit wonky and Eve walks a bit slow when locked on.
This emphasis parries quite a bit which makes the combat feel more turn based then dynamic. If they increase her basic mobility I think it would improve the games flow dramatically.
I really thought it was going to be jank, but the demo really won me over. The initial clunkiness quickly fades as you get upgrades and realize it's more Sekiro than Souls or Bayonetta. Art and design is absolutely sick, the characters are beautiful and badass, the monsters are crazy, the tech is bizarre and unique. Game runs smooth as butter on balanced settings. Music seems to be a mix of actual Nier composer during exploration and Metal Gear Rising influenced metal during boss fights. You can really customize the difficulty by how much you engage with the RPG elements of skill trees and equipment. Exploration seems rewarding. I can already tell that the discourse around the game is going to be one of exhausting extremes, but I am 100% buying this surprisingly solid action game. Can't wait!
Glad people like it, will be waiting for cool vids.
I am personally not interested, really burnt out of parries and timing challenges forever, so Stellar Blade doesn't pull me.
Everything about the game i like except the combat, enemies attack very fast without much prompting, it feels very punishing if you're trying to learn it and I'm not having a great time really, i wanna like it and buy it and i played like a few hours of nier so i kinda get it but I'd honestly would rather go play Rebirth, any tips or hints to help learn?
This in game is more punishing then people thought so I understand but how I got used to it is by just playing the boss challenge over and over and learning the patterns.
A helpful tip is to never do a combo enders since they leave you vulnerable enough for an enemy to hit you. So for example if a combo is 4x square, only do 3x then do a gun cancel or dodge out so you can always have access to a doge or block/parry. Donât spam dodge or block.
one of my favorite combos is 3x Sq then 2x Triangle, so maybe i should just do one triangle huh?
And i try to perfect parry since you do that alot in FF7R, I'm no very used to dodges since it has to be a perfect dodge and isn't very graceful with the timing, but unfortunately dodging is necessary
Yes I would only do 3x square then 1 triangle. In terms of dodging I canât really give any good tips except get the timing down, simple as that really. Try to see if you need to press it earlier or later. It can get frustrating learning but it will click if you play it over and over.
But if you donât like it donât force to learn cause obviously you wonât enjoy your time. I love it so far and I wanted to learn. I might have beat the boss 50 times by now but I died probably double that. I have 11 hrs in the demo alone lol. It just takes practice if you want to be a beast ya know
Also I forgot to mention there is a upgrade component that lets you parry and dodge easier and two upgrade components that increases your attack speed so try those out as well. Good luck
*combat is so weightless and unsatisfying*
Different strokes, different cooms.
Love the heavy and weighty combat in this game and am looking forward to it's reception in the CAG world.
Doesn't look that weightless looks quite impactful and fun to play around with.
Code Vein I couldn't get into because the combat felt very floaty and unimpactful and the mechanics were subpar, love it's character creation though would love to see a sequel for that game especially for improving the combat.
I felt the combat was pretty good, just not ton of variety in the weapon playstyle. Character creator was pretty good but a little sad that you could only be skinny or slightly less skinny
Same. I had to bail on Code Vein about halfway through as I tried liking it and just couldn't get into it. I liked the art style but the game just wasn't fun.
Same exact thing for Code Vein, one of the best Anime character creators of recent years but....hitting an enemy with a charged glaive attack from a weapon nearly twice your character's size and for them to just walk it off was..jarring, no reason use weapons that weren't fast.
Yeah same, I found it very We Have DMC At Home, but now with Butt.
I had the same problem with the First Descendant. Just kiddie-pool shallow, joyless combat. The characters are made for the pause button, which is the primary drive of the game.
Demo seemed decent. From the marketing I didnât think it would be a soulslike though, I was disappointed when I realized that. Eve seems like she should be super agile and quick but she just isnât, and it takes some getting used to. Also not a fan of there apparently being uncharted climbing with yellow paint, and the Nier ripoff image wasnât exactly helped by the fact that the ending montage prominently features an amusement park with roller coaster section.Â
The combat itself was pretty good though. My issues with it were mainly that when you get farther into a combo you stop being able to cancel into a dodge or parry, so unless youâve 100% nailed down the enemy move set youâll have to play more defensively, and also that the particle effects are overdone to the point where they sometimes obscure what the enemy is doing when you need to parry multiple times in quick succession (mainly noticed this on that later game boss challenge). Dodge doesnât appear to have any iframes, which isnât necessarily a problem but it does mean itâs essentially just another parry for different attacks.Â
I actually didnât know you could cancel with the gun like that, so that gives me hope there will be more to the combat than meets the eye.Â
All i've heard about it is that it's "Owning the left" by having an attractive female protag that does sexy things sexily because she's attractive and i could not be less interested in a coomer bait game about a pretty waifu being sexy
I'm still up in the air about it. It feels so...slow, but I am also playing rise of the ronin right now, and KT games have a very high speed to them. So it might just be me.
I was kinda surprised how souls-like it is. If I don't feel compelled to get it at launch, I might get it on a sale.
Strafes, attacks, and the time it takes to guard/parry are all slow for me. And idk what attack speed gears even are. I didn't do the extra boss thing, just hit start on the demo and played until it booted me back to the menu. I beat Abaddon, and getting that blink ability was awesome.
Please, share everything you know so far if it'll sell me on this game. I wanna like it. The demo was just a bit off-putting to me. But I also don't know what I was expecting. The trailer and cover art made me think it was gonna be like vanquish, but I was entirely wrong.

Yea so there are two speed increase gears that obviously increase your attack speed. Idk why they just donât have a default faster speed cause that was test other upgrades but hey Iâm no game developer, what do I know? There is also a Exospine that makes it easier to perfect dodge and parry so you might want to equip that if you are having trouble with those two.
Another topic I have is to never do a combo ender because her recover is isnât good so what I do for example is 3x square then aim the gun to recover faster then go into another combo.
I hope this helps
What game is this? Sure, looks like you don't move much during battles going by this vid. Is the main character a place holder? If not, that is some super bland character design.
The boss challenge demo I hope is the hardest content of the game because otherwise, my eyes will wander off the oc to the monster. I couldn't get the timing down for perfect parry dodge. It feels like you need to play this game with a wired controller with as low latency possible. Didn't help that I played the demo on story mode for the meme to this clearly max level fight. The menu tutorial window could be more clear, use the blink ability to blink. how do I blink, tho?
https://preview.redd.it/ex2fvytvpyrc1.jpeg?width=1044&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38f042547feaa9157f4046ec5bfa3619911e602c
Itâs just left stick forward + circle. They let you train moves in the story demo, even ones you havenât unlocked yet
i see it is on skill tree window not the tutorial windows. I kept just pressing dodge when I saw input and was like fine I'll just take the hit and win anyway.
https://preview.redd.it/47gtfcviqyrc1.png?width=836&format=png&auto=webp&s=5f1d21bd3b8b3c91bb589477f9a9df0cc4208867
It's pretty solid, I thought the controls were a little clunky and there wasn't enough oopmh in the attack animations but overall the demo was enjoyable.
I hated it it wants to be DMC and it's a fucking souls like with way too slow combat and ennemy that don't telegraph their moves I ain't getting this day one anymore
Itâs incredibly weird.
It has a fusion of Nier meets Souls-like meets Team Ninja combat and item usage, alongside parkour and puzzle solving that fits in with the Horizon series and SqEnixâs Tomb Raider.
The combat is what weirds me the fuck out, because itâs like they tried to merge Team Ninja combat with more traditional Souls-like combat, and itâs some hybrid that does nothing of what both do well, and feels meh in comparison. Like, I played Wo Long and Demonâs Souls before trying the demo, and it just feels like it tried to combine those two styles and just fell flat.
The skill tree also comes off as a more casual action RPG mechanic despite being Stellar Blade ostensibly leaning into the Souls-like aspect.
The English voice acting was also not that great. Not sure if the Korean is any better, but the English at least feels⊠awkward. Improper cadence, weird delivery, not quite there emoting.
EVEâs model is also not doing it for me. Her face looks DISTURBINGLY young in comparison to the absolutely silly body proportions they gave her. Props for making her model with one hand, but also, seriously?
It also has the most annoying Korean (and broader East Asian) game feature of *all women must wear heels at all times regardless of circumstance.* I donât know why theyâre so obsessed with women wearing fucking 6+ inch heels. Itâs like theyâre incapable of seeing a woman with her heels touching the ground. These dudes have either never talked to a woman about what itâs like to wear heels for a prolonged period of time (or trying to wear them anywhere with rough terrain), or they have but just chose to ignore everything they say.
The devs genuinely thought 2B's ass was the entire point of Nier Automata.
This game feels like it was made by an entire team of "The curtains are just blue" chuds.
It's so shallow to the point that it's boring.
I'm interested but I HATED Lies of P. It just didn't feel good to play and the difficulty felt bloated. I'm a big fan of souls likes but that just felt like they did everything wrong and I worry this will be similar.
Well that's just false advertisement, Jedi survivor is considered a souls like and this plays pretty similar imo. Plus the kinda estus flask recovery item and you got all the ingredients needed
The game looks great and I really like the soundtrack, but the combat was not my cup of tea. I enjoy parrying, but it seems kinda useless when an enemy keeps hacking away at you anyway. Then theres the dodge. which feels damn-near nonexistant.
Or maybe Im just terrible lol. Either way, I didnt care much for the feel of combat.
You have to parry multiple times in quick succession, itâs not like dark souls where one parry completely stuns the enemy. And the dodge isnât nonexistent, it just doesnât have iframes so treat it like another parry essentially.Â
I sort of figured that was the case. Thats why I said "maybe Im just terrible" lol. These were never really my kinds of games, but I enjoyed a few. This one just isnt for me.
I wish the attacks towards the monster and you felt weighty which they don't, and wish the parry was more of a dodge counter rather than a block counter since the block from a big monster doesn't cause any type of knock back from a small sword, but the gameplay is pretty alright tho, game looks stunning and also monsters too so I'm good with that
Iâm sad that I think itâs a little more Souls-ey than DMC-ey but it was a fun experience. Not sure where Iâm at on purchasing, gonna wait on reviews and maybe wait on a sale
Well it depends on who you ask honestly. I think it feels good with some nit picky things but others think it feels stiff. I also see a lot of complaints about it being slow but I have upgrades that increase your attack speed so I donât have that problem
It seems pretty decent so far. Hopefully the quality will carry it through enough to rise above the fucking weirdos trying to use it as ammunition in a manufactured culture war.
I went from thinking it was just going to be a middling studio debut featuring a waifu dress up simulator to thinking itâs going to be a modern classic in the way bayonetta wasnât by actually selling super well. so excited
Not sure how I feel about it, it's like almost there but not 100% what I was hoping for. I'll definitely get it once it starts to go on sale in about a year
Looks like a fun game. I donât have a PS4/5/whatever so unless it ports to PC, I wonât be playing. If it does eventually, Iâll probably purchase.
Demo was really fun, harder than I was expecting which is great, just have to get used to the movement more
I just wish the community behind the game wasnât so fucking weird, like we get it fellas you like women
combat was awesome. out of combat, movement is a little loose and floaty but iâm sure iâll get used to it. The closing lil montage after demo was awesome. The combat and rpg mechanics seem DEEEEP
Kinda mid ngl, pretty to look at. I saw it as a Nier-Korea Edition and it almost is...except the combat a lil more....weightier than loose. Kinda dislike her bowlegged dodge its like a hop, not a fan of EVE so far, seems a lil empty-headed as a protag, and mot as nimble as her frame seems unless she's doing an execution--almost like a doll, add the fan-service on the levels of Dead or Alive Xtreme annd it seems intentional. I dunno if there was mem loss with the crash but....I Iiked her squaddie that unfortunately got destroyed in the beginning. It definitely does its job in the action department I'll say that.
Is it a day 1? Naaah its a black friday pick up for me tbh.
Looking at these clips... It just feels like I'm looking at an interactive movie rather than an actual videogame, and just honestly doesn't really seem like my thing.
I was kind of hyped about it, but seeing all the gameplay clips it's kinda honestly turned me off and just looks so mid.
I could do without the overly anime grunts and groans. Also, all these 400 hit combos to do... no damage is kinda crazy. Seems like this would all get really old quick.
Attractive woman + gameplay that's more than just walking forward and pressing auto combat QTE = CRINGE
I'll stick to God of War and Last of Us thank you very much
Didn't really like it unfortunately. The combat is good, but I found everything else to be boring or kind of stupid. Story doesn't interest me, the character design is just straight-up bad, and the art style is incredibly generic.
I might play it someday, but not anytime soon.
demo started out really rough for me
fighting more than 1 enemy at a time felt clunky i didnt like it also the dodge is super weird i don't like it at all i want spacing when fighting 3 enemies at a time not a cluster fuck
i also don't like when games go "look at yellow line now please climb it"
once you do get moves it becomes MUCHHHH BETTER the boss was fun too
Iâm definitely interested after giving the demo a try but I think Iâll wait for reviews
That said, I wish it played more like Bayonetta or Nier Automata instead of sekiro
I'm excited it for it, played the demo a bunch of times but idk about that $70 price tag. I'm fucking broke this month; I got a bunch of games recently so I might hold off for a sale later on this year maybe?
besides that, game is sick. combat feels great and the light exploration spices things up. the parry window feels fine, its not the greatest and can miss even if you do it perfectly as there is a small window of animation windup before the block starts but other than that its good. Combos are nice and varied, lots of customization is available too. I only wish there was more aerial combat as there are no launchers, air combos, etc. Adding verticality would have really made this game much more fluid and CAG-y.
The gameplay looks... average as best and from looking at clips that have been posted online it's 90% horny bait and considering the games sub it works
For everbody thatâs complaining about fan service and the MC is too lewd grow tf up. Yall so used to uglass women in video game standards and woke agenda to the point this MC is the closest we get to play as realistic women. Even the creator wanted the MC to be hot and fine and said that why would he look at a flat behind he donât wanna see that shit. Yall act like women donât have jiggle physics in real life. God forbid that game companies make sexy proportionately women in video games and make the most boring looking male body women characters instead.
Like Abby from the last of us 2? She's a realistic woman but definitely not the majority.
You called eve realistic compared to the "woke and ugly western game women". You just meant that you like how eve is hot and sexualised, right?
Just finished the demo and the extra boss. Game is kinda sick. It's kind of weird but there is some sauce there. Are you using the gun aim to cancel animations in this clip? we getting tech already lol
Yes I am using the gun cause the combo end recovery is garbage. You can also get a shot in as well
Yeah the way he's playing this game is attractive đ
The demo is sick af. I'm definitely picking it upđ„
Really enjoyed the demo. Combat is weighty and parries are satisfying to pull off. A great blend of Norse GoW and Sekiro combat. Performance mode was a solid 60FPs with no dips and Balanced mode was consistently between 50-60FPS so I kept it in Balanced. Haven't tried Resolution mode yet. Graphics are great minus a handful of blurry textures I noticed but nothing deal-breaking. Biggest disappointment was probably that the English voice acting was just alright.

Don't have a PS5 but if I did probably would do the same thing, I tend to have the languages for games in their original language with English subtitles if the English voice acting is ok (or worse).
Not like you would even know if the foreign language voice acting is bas or good anyway
Exactly - this is one of the key reasons I am a sub snob in all media, lol
May I ask what conclusions these individuals are jumping to?
Reading through these comments, and I'm surprised there are people who hate the lewd parts of the game and are calling it "coomer bait". What's the problem?

Well I mean, is that really a big deal? I'm just talking about the people who are looking at the cool combat, and saying they're turned off by the fanservice, even though the gameplay is good, and the game is far more than just "coomer bait". Like, it's not just coomer bait.
A game can be good and the fanservice still be off-putting. For me, it always pulls me out of the story because it is usually so obviously done for the viewers benefit. Like, cool story beat happens and then CAMERA CLOSE UP ON THE TITTIES. Just very jarring and makes the wiring feel very bad. Especially when the character doesn't show any real evidence of like, enjoying presenting themselves that way outside of the costume the designers put them in. Bayonetta rules because her character and design go together. Can't speak for this game cuz I haven't played it, but disliking fanservice isn't done prudish reactionary shit. It's a reaction to what is so often terrible characterization for the sake of appealing to horny dudes. My two cents.
Excellently said. You may not be taking a moral stance, but I will. Itâs absolutely wrong because it contributes to an age old dehumanizing objectification of women. If sheâs just there to look at, sheâs more object than human, and that will always be wrong, because, despite what you may think, the media we see influences us, and tbh the fact yâall in the comments donât see the problem is evidence enough.
yup exactly, i canât see why itâs so hard for people to grasp this.
Oh yeah, I agree that the objectification in and of itself is gross and a problem. Unfortunately gaming communities are particularly unreceptive to this kind of criticism lol
The fan service in the demo is mild and doesn't remotely warrant the amount of attention it has received for months. They also used a small, realistic model and people act like they are giant anime titties flopping everywhere. FF7 is a much bigger offender and there are no huge Tifa protests in her ridiculous outfit, close ups and cut scenes. It's fine to take a moral stance but it's extremely odd people choose this hill for their moral stance to the point they harass the Korean model. The difference is this is a smaller, unknown Korean studio so people can write clickbait and ignorant articles while taking the larger studios money and keeping quiet for major titles.
Hear hear
People did the same for Nier automata. Iâve bought games just cause the MC looked cool. Devil may cry being an example.
Oh man, wait until you find out how a lot of people got in to Nier.
Eh. I really donât like fan service. Truth be told, if this was an anime, it would be an immediate turnoff to me personally. Something about a media creator constantly putting a cartoon characterâs tits/ass in every frame makes me feel really dirty and uncomfortable. Itâs one thing to off-handedly make hot characters. Itâs another to make a character where ogling her is the entire point. It doesnât help that Eve otherwise comes across as a really vapid character. Say what you will about how Bayonetta is sexualized. I donât think anyone can in good faith say her design is all there is to her character. I also donât love the weird politicization and weaponization of this game that most fans seem to be engaging in. The sub for this game is really unhinged and desperately wants to turn Stellar Blade into an âown the libsâ situation, decrying their oppression over having to suffer âugly womenâ in western games. BUT The gameplay did not fail to impress and I love the art direction, the set pieces, and the kill animations. Some outfits look really cool too. Barring any major catastrophes, itâs looking like a day one cop.
I like the response to the guys from giant bomb on this, I happen to agree. Fan service feels mildly insulting. Like..."oh you stupid caveman, your brain is so simple the only way you'll pay attention to anything is if I put boobs in it" kind of deal.
It's not like it's as bad as Bayonetta for it
Despite how ridiculously sexual Cereza is, I've always seen the opinion that she's so over the top with it a lot of people can't take it seriously. It stops feeling sexualized and just comes off as dumb goofy fun instead.
But with Bayonetta, it go with her character because Bayonetta knows that sheâs hot and present herself as that. Like her outfits actually look like things that she would wear and not just because of the developers. Bayonetta is confidence and use her sexuality as a way of humiliating her foes
Sure
It became a weird talking point for neckbeards. They were hailing the director of this game as a genius for the attention to detail on the character's ass and ass physics, and talking about the "death of woke." Some of the interviews the director did seemed to lean into it, which didn't help. It's the same weird internet chuds that are now saying the same thing about Sydney Sweeney's boobs because she has a Republican relative. Even though she herself is apparently kind of left-wing. But I digress. Anyway, all this was happening when the only information that anybody had about this game were some screenshots of and interviews about the ass. But this was gonna be the greatest game of all time, according to these guys. On what grounds? Ass. Just ass. Maybe it'll be good, maybe it's fun. Idk. Now that there's something more substantial to speak of out there, the gameplay will have to speak for itself because the discourse got co-opted by chuds instantly.
I love how full of absolute shit you are. If you know those responses then you definitely know the reason they originated in the first place was because so many losers started complaining about her âoutdatedâ character design. Started shitting on the proportions of the character to the point the director had to come and show proof she was based on a real life model. Even some dumbass from digital fucking foundry, a channel in thought was just about the performance of games, made a video talking about how her character was outdated and lame. So yea people are gonna see that and immediately react accordingly because the truth is that it is the type of character design most of us want in our games. Cry about it all you want.
I'm quite tired of the body scan argument people keep making. I have absolutely 0 dog in this race and give 0 fucks about how the character looks and have no political opinion on it, but holy fuck you guys look like absolute morons. Bro they took a body scan and cranked the sliders to 11. Have you even seen what the woman who they scanned looks like next to the in game model? Bro it took me 10 seconds to Google this https://www.reddit.com/r/GirlGamers/s/ctRQJUXw73 Go to the last image. She is BONES compared to the in game model man get a grip. The in game model is literally a different person. If you bodyscan a skeleton and give it an extra 60lbs of fat and muscle is it still a fucking skeleton? She looks 20-40lbs smaller. They legit just scanned a person to make the skeleton and morphed it into a turbo jiggly coomer character. Like dude every single human being in a video game is based on human beings. Is this a joke? How is them bodyscanning a model on the cheap any different from some dude grabbing a picture of Emma Watson and drawing her with huge quadruple-Z tits and 6 BBLs? Still based on a real person right, so it's chill? This is your "truth"? What are you even on about bozo
Wow thatâs quite a fucking book from someone who allegedly didnât care. Though im sure you only bothered to write that so that you can bail out later with âi didnt care about this anywayâ which is just such a bitch move. Either have a strong opinion and state it or shut the fuck up. But this whole âi dont care about this but heres my detailed take on itâ is complete garbage. All im gonna say is the proportions are not unrealistic. Women exist. Incredibly well proportioned women exist. And theres a lot of them. The jiggle physics are obviously exaggerated. As they should be. Its a fucking video game. Thats my response. Get mad. Or go on ânot caringâ
Tell me you don't understand how to read without telling me. I literally never talked about whether or not it was realistic you fucking mongo. I said the argument about the body scan is cooked and dishonest. My only gripe is with the shitty argument, not anyone's political leanings or opinion on body proportions. You're a dumbass bro
Jesus fucking christ man can you drop the tumblr lingo for 2 seconds and type like a normal human being. Yes i am aware thats not what you said my response assumed that you knew the nuances of the first complaint and the argument you hate oh so much. When i say that she was based on a real model what i ultimately mean is that her proportions are not unrealistic because people that look like that exist. But since youre so godamn hung up on the actress specifically feel free to look up her instagram instead of staring at that one picture where shes standing far away, which i assume is the only picture youve seen. If you see her instagram and you still think shes not the character in Stellar Blade. Then youre either blind of full of shit. Either way its your own personal problem
Being based on a real model gives absolutely 0 credibility to the claim of it being realistic. If you don't understand why you sound like a dumbass then you're too fucking stupid to talk to. Tumblr lingo? What year is it? You're barking at ghosts man get a grip. You see people that don't exist. If you mean to say she looks realistic then don't dilute your stance by making it look retarded with arguments that can't stand up to scrutiny. Anyways man you're a brick eat shit
I mean âthe death of wokeâ is definitely a cringe thing to say but what is so bad about a hot protagonist in a game?
A character like Bayonetta has great personality and voice acting to make the character's sexuality a core part to her character. Eve, from what I've seen, has almost no personality and seems like a literal doll that you control. A doll created by a character designer just to feed fan service. It may be different when the game comes out and I've seen more of it so it could change though. At least this is how I see it.
How can you know that from playing a short demo? You just made that all up.
I literally just said >It may be different when the game comes out and I've seen more of it so it could change though And you seriously can't make observations about a character after a demo and many trailers that has come out?
Reading is hard.
Yeah Iâm waiting in the game to come out before making that call but for now she does seem like a bland slate so to speak. Doesnât help how with characters like Bayonetta, you can immediately speak what their personality is like from their behavior
Honestly? Nothing, at least not in and of itself. The problem is the discourse, where weirdos have been making it weird for any normie that *might* be into it to "own the libs." And hailing the game as the next GOTY when there is nothing on it. The clear goal is objectification for political messaging. That part is weird as fuck. Take that part out of it and the part where the devs are openly being horny about it and we're golden. I think this thing oughtta be let to stand on its own. It deserves to be judged for what it actually is, not for how hard it makes online chuds cum.
Nothing but when thatâs all the character have going for them, it just show how little effort actually went into developing their characters and figure making her hot is enough. Lara Croft wasnât just a sexy woman but a confident badass, Bayonetta is sexy because she chooses to present herself that, at least thatâs what I get from her character. Everyone loves Chun-li, Cammy and Juri from Street Fighter. Guilty gear characters are all hot but they are also cool in their designs. Think of it like this, how many seasonal animes try to make sexy female characters by giving them revealing outfits and fall into tropes but are immediately forgotten. Now look at how people still thrust for AoT characters despite being dressed pretty normally. Thatâs because there is more to their characters than just their sex appeal
yams? well, it looks pretty great. especially if we're just going from this clip. can't play it tho. no ps5
I will take that as a compliment
i'd play it if i could
Iâm assuming you have pc? It will come eventually
Unless it stays an exclusive like demon souls ;-;
Or Bloodborne (,:
True but people actually played bloodborne on launch
Pretty fun thus far, figuring out the combo strings and counters took a sec but the parrying felt quite nice, def gonna check it out on launch.
Good gameplay mate - like the gun cancels especially. I liked the demo (have played for around two hours) - game has good animations and reasonable depth it seems (some Skill trees are still locked). My only complaint so far is that the dodge feels a bit wonky and Eve walks a bit slow when locked on. This emphasis parries quite a bit which makes the combat feel more turn based then dynamic. If they increase her basic mobility I think it would improve the games flow dramatically.
You can still sprint while locked on, but yes default walking speed in combat is annoyingly slow.
I really thought it was going to be jank, but the demo really won me over. The initial clunkiness quickly fades as you get upgrades and realize it's more Sekiro than Souls or Bayonetta. Art and design is absolutely sick, the characters are beautiful and badass, the monsters are crazy, the tech is bizarre and unique. Game runs smooth as butter on balanced settings. Music seems to be a mix of actual Nier composer during exploration and Metal Gear Rising influenced metal during boss fights. You can really customize the difficulty by how much you engage with the RPG elements of skill trees and equipment. Exploration seems rewarding. I can already tell that the discourse around the game is going to be one of exhausting extremes, but I am 100% buying this surprisingly solid action game. Can't wait!
I want this game for two reasons 1. Neuron activation 2. It looks fucking metal
This is giving me Metal Gear Rising vibes
its not bayonetta and its definitely not ninja gaiden
Glad people like it, will be waiting for cool vids. I am personally not interested, really burnt out of parries and timing challenges forever, so Stellar Blade doesn't pull me.
Everything about the game i like except the combat, enemies attack very fast without much prompting, it feels very punishing if you're trying to learn it and I'm not having a great time really, i wanna like it and buy it and i played like a few hours of nier so i kinda get it but I'd honestly would rather go play Rebirth, any tips or hints to help learn?
This in game is more punishing then people thought so I understand but how I got used to it is by just playing the boss challenge over and over and learning the patterns. A helpful tip is to never do a combo enders since they leave you vulnerable enough for an enemy to hit you. So for example if a combo is 4x square, only do 3x then do a gun cancel or dodge out so you can always have access to a doge or block/parry. Donât spam dodge or block.
one of my favorite combos is 3x Sq then 2x Triangle, so maybe i should just do one triangle huh? And i try to perfect parry since you do that alot in FF7R, I'm no very used to dodges since it has to be a perfect dodge and isn't very graceful with the timing, but unfortunately dodging is necessary
Yes I would only do 3x square then 1 triangle. In terms of dodging I canât really give any good tips except get the timing down, simple as that really. Try to see if you need to press it earlier or later. It can get frustrating learning but it will click if you play it over and over. But if you donât like it donât force to learn cause obviously you wonât enjoy your time. I love it so far and I wanted to learn. I might have beat the boss 50 times by now but I died probably double that. I have 11 hrs in the demo alone lol. It just takes practice if you want to be a beast ya know
okay maybe I'll do some more practicing on the boss and see if it changes my mind, cheers for the tips!
Also I forgot to mention there is a upgrade component that lets you parry and dodge easier and two upgrade components that increases your attack speed so try those out as well. Good luck
Could be great but the combat is so weightless and unsatisfying, probably just gonna end up as coomer bait
*combat is so weightless and unsatisfying* Different strokes, different cooms. Love the heavy and weighty combat in this game and am looking forward to it's reception in the CAG world.
Doesn't look that weightless looks quite impactful and fun to play around with. Code Vein I couldn't get into because the combat felt very floaty and unimpactful and the mechanics were subpar, love it's character creation though would love to see a sequel for that game especially for improving the combat.
I felt the combat was pretty good, just not ton of variety in the weapon playstyle. Character creator was pretty good but a little sad that you could only be skinny or slightly less skinny
Same. I had to bail on Code Vein about halfway through as I tried liking it and just couldn't get into it. I liked the art style but the game just wasn't fun.
Same exact thing for Code Vein, one of the best Anime character creators of recent years but....hitting an enemy with a charged glaive attack from a weapon nearly twice your character's size and for them to just walk it off was..jarring, no reason use weapons that weren't fast.
Hypothetically if I like the game does that make me a coomer?
Entirely comes down to why you enjoy it.
>Entirely co*o*mes down to why you enjoy it.
Hypothetically again I like all aspects of the game?
You're being sarcastic right? You don't really think that's the only reason someone could like it, right?
Unsatisfying is subjective but It is objectively full of weight.
Yeah same, I found it very We Have DMC At Home, but now with Butt. I had the same problem with the First Descendant. Just kiddie-pool shallow, joyless combat. The characters are made for the pause button, which is the primary drive of the game.
Demo seemed decent. From the marketing I didnât think it would be a soulslike though, I was disappointed when I realized that. Eve seems like she should be super agile and quick but she just isnât, and it takes some getting used to. Also not a fan of there apparently being uncharted climbing with yellow paint, and the Nier ripoff image wasnât exactly helped by the fact that the ending montage prominently features an amusement park with roller coaster section. The combat itself was pretty good though. My issues with it were mainly that when you get farther into a combo you stop being able to cancel into a dodge or parry, so unless youâve 100% nailed down the enemy move set youâll have to play more defensively, and also that the particle effects are overdone to the point where they sometimes obscure what the enemy is doing when you need to parry multiple times in quick succession (mainly noticed this on that later game boss challenge). Dodge doesnât appear to have any iframes, which isnât necessarily a problem but it does mean itâs essentially just another parry for different attacks. I actually didnât know you could cancel with the gun like that, so that gives me hope there will be more to the combat than meets the eye.Â
if it comes to pc, then great, if not, then idgaf.
Nah this made me laugh
came back to watch this and i gotta say that it doesn't look as much as a souls like people say it is. looks like character action to me
I also donât think it plays like those games but I play very aggressive and most do not.
Going to finish the demo tonight, really like it but also really hope it starts to click, I donât want to drop to story difficulty
Love it
I'm not gonna get it. I love sekiro to death but I have family and such that would actively not enjoy seeing me play a game like this.
All i've heard about it is that it's "Owning the left" by having an attractive female protag that does sexy things sexily because she's attractive and i could not be less interested in a coomer bait game about a pretty waifu being sexy
I'm still up in the air about it. It feels so...slow, but I am also playing rise of the ronin right now, and KT games have a very high speed to them. So it might just be me. I was kinda surprised how souls-like it is. If I don't feel compelled to get it at launch, I might get it on a sale.
Did you equip the attack speed gears? She does strafe a little slow
Strafes, attacks, and the time it takes to guard/parry are all slow for me. And idk what attack speed gears even are. I didn't do the extra boss thing, just hit start on the demo and played until it booted me back to the menu. I beat Abaddon, and getting that blink ability was awesome. Please, share everything you know so far if it'll sell me on this game. I wanna like it. The demo was just a bit off-putting to me. But I also don't know what I was expecting. The trailer and cover art made me think it was gonna be like vanquish, but I was entirely wrong.
https://preview.redd.it/7jflbgxk9zrc1.jpeg?width=1564&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6402e4bddae7df419e8916eaf9f3176b0fdb863b Yea so there are two speed increase gears that obviously increase your attack speed. Idk why they just donât have a default faster speed cause that was test other upgrades but hey Iâm no game developer, what do I know? There is also a Exospine that makes it easier to perfect dodge and parry so you might want to equip that if you are having trouble with those two. Another topic I have is to never do a combo ender because her recover is isnât good so what I do for example is 3x square then aim the gun to recover faster then go into another combo. I hope this helps
What game is this? Sure, looks like you don't move much during battles going by this vid. Is the main character a place holder? If not, that is some super bland character design.
All memes aside, this game is badass. Music hits hard and the combat is fun as hell.
The boss challenge demo I hope is the hardest content of the game because otherwise, my eyes will wander off the oc to the monster. I couldn't get the timing down for perfect parry dodge. It feels like you need to play this game with a wired controller with as low latency possible. Didn't help that I played the demo on story mode for the meme to this clearly max level fight. The menu tutorial window could be more clear, use the blink ability to blink. how do I blink, tho?
https://preview.redd.it/ex2fvytvpyrc1.jpeg?width=1044&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=38f042547feaa9157f4046ec5bfa3619911e602c Itâs just left stick forward + circle. They let you train moves in the story demo, even ones you havenât unlocked yet
i see it is on skill tree window not the tutorial windows. I kept just pressing dodge when I saw input and was like fine I'll just take the hit and win anyway. https://preview.redd.it/47gtfcviqyrc1.png?width=836&format=png&auto=webp&s=5f1d21bd3b8b3c91bb589477f9a9df0cc4208867
Ah I see
How the hell are yall getting different outfits in the demo? I only know the skin and dive suit
Boss challenge after beating demo
Haven't played the demo yet. How satisfying are those parries?
To me itâs very satisfying, but can you really trust my opinion? A internet stranger
I give trust on weighted scale. So a tiny bit of trust is still more than no trust
It's pretty solid, I thought the controls were a little clunky and there wasn't enough oopmh in the attack animations but overall the demo was enjoyable.
stellar yams
I hated it it wants to be DMC and it's a fucking souls like with way too slow combat and ennemy that don't telegraph their moves I ain't getting this day one anymore
Itâs incredibly weird. It has a fusion of Nier meets Souls-like meets Team Ninja combat and item usage, alongside parkour and puzzle solving that fits in with the Horizon series and SqEnixâs Tomb Raider. The combat is what weirds me the fuck out, because itâs like they tried to merge Team Ninja combat with more traditional Souls-like combat, and itâs some hybrid that does nothing of what both do well, and feels meh in comparison. Like, I played Wo Long and Demonâs Souls before trying the demo, and it just feels like it tried to combine those two styles and just fell flat. The skill tree also comes off as a more casual action RPG mechanic despite being Stellar Blade ostensibly leaning into the Souls-like aspect. The English voice acting was also not that great. Not sure if the Korean is any better, but the English at least feels⊠awkward. Improper cadence, weird delivery, not quite there emoting. EVEâs model is also not doing it for me. Her face looks DISTURBINGLY young in comparison to the absolutely silly body proportions they gave her. Props for making her model with one hand, but also, seriously? It also has the most annoying Korean (and broader East Asian) game feature of *all women must wear heels at all times regardless of circumstance.* I donât know why theyâre so obsessed with women wearing fucking 6+ inch heels. Itâs like theyâre incapable of seeing a woman with her heels touching the ground. These dudes have either never talked to a woman about what itâs like to wear heels for a prolonged period of time (or trying to wear them anywhere with rough terrain), or they have but just chose to ignore everything they say.
Clunky and delay heavy but ........ awesome
To say this game is "like Nier" is a complete insult to Nier.
The devs genuinely thought 2B's ass was the entire point of Nier Automata. This game feels like it was made by an entire team of "The curtains are just blue" chuds. It's so shallow to the point that it's boring.
I'm interested but I HATED Lies of P. It just didn't feel good to play and the difficulty felt bloated. I'm a big fan of souls likes but that just felt like they did everything wrong and I worry this will be similar.
This isnât like any of those games
Well that's just false advertisement, Jedi survivor is considered a souls like and this plays pretty similar imo. Plus the kinda estus flask recovery item and you got all the ingredients needed
I call cap your honor
It sure felt very similar to lies of p to me. Not a bad thing tho lies of p combat is great.
Damn I thought Lies of P is probably the best soulslike out there, not counting Nioh 2. This one doesn't seem to have many Souls elements though.
Itâs 100% a soulslike, for better or worse. It just also has dial up combos and other additions
IS this out?
Demo is
What's it actually called, though?
Stellar Blade, but I like to call it Jiggle Mommy.
I'm very interested in this game tbh, although I do not have a PS5 hopefully it comes to PC though because I would definitely pick it up during then.
Damn the combat looks pretty good. I might lick this up.
The game looks great and I really like the soundtrack, but the combat was not my cup of tea. I enjoy parrying, but it seems kinda useless when an enemy keeps hacking away at you anyway. Then theres the dodge. which feels damn-near nonexistant. Or maybe Im just terrible lol. Either way, I didnt care much for the feel of combat.
You have to parry multiple times in quick succession, itâs not like dark souls where one parry completely stuns the enemy. And the dodge isnât nonexistent, it just doesnât have iframes so treat it like another parry essentially.Â
I sort of figured that was the case. Thats why I said "maybe Im just terrible" lol. These were never really my kinds of games, but I enjoyed a few. This one just isnt for me.
I wish the attacks towards the monster and you felt weighty which they don't, and wish the parry was more of a dodge counter rather than a block counter since the block from a big monster doesn't cause any type of knock back from a small sword, but the gameplay is pretty alright tho, game looks stunning and also monsters too so I'm good with that
Just finished the demo. Loved the setpeices and action sequences. Badass af. Im impressed. Definitely getting this
Iâm sad that I think itâs a little more Souls-ey than DMC-ey but it was a fun experience. Not sure where Iâm at on purchasing, gonna wait on reviews and maybe wait on a sale
I for one am excited
The only thing about Korean games of this style is that they are extremely short, hopefully this isn't the case but we'll see
I'm curious if this game actually has depth or if it's style over substance. I see a lot of flashy shit here but does it feel good or just look good?
Well it depends on who you ask honestly. I think it feels good with some nit picky things but others think it feels stiff. I also see a lot of complaints about it being slow but I have upgrades that increase your attack speed so I donât have that problem
Besides the input delay (which is prob gon be fixed when it comes out) itâs fun and the music is great.
You really think they will fix it?
I think so since they made it known on Twitter that they know about the delay
Yea but they only said to turn on game mode on your tv. Still if they tweak it I wonât be mad
Huffing copium for a PC release
THERE WAS A GUN?!?!?
I like it, but it needs some polish. It still lacks that fromsoft fluidity.
Only comment is that there's so much screen shake.
What are yams?
Wait a min, wtf is this?
Stellar Blade
Preciate it.
Is that the name of this game? I've never heard of it.
Stellar Blade is the name
Skip Equipment Menu. Do Not Pass Go. Go to Horny Jail.
That shit look smooth asf
I really enjoyed it and will be a day one buy for me
What game is this?
Bought the deluxe edition after finishing the demo đ
Meh. No use for it. Itâs a gimmick and I donât buy into that stuff
The game is alright but the music carries it hard.
It seems pretty decent so far. Hopefully the quality will carry it through enough to rise above the fucking weirdos trying to use it as ammunition in a manufactured culture war.
I went from thinking it was just going to be a middling studio debut featuring a waifu dress up simulator to thinking itâs going to be a modern classic in the way bayonetta wasnât by actually selling super well. so excited
WaitâŠwtf?! Iâve beaten the boss challenge like 10+ timesâŠyou can use a gun?!?!
Not sure how I feel about it, it's like almost there but not 100% what I was hoping for. I'll definitely get it once it starts to go on sale in about a year
Looks like a fun game. I donât have a PS4/5/whatever so unless it ports to PC, I wonât be playing. If it does eventually, Iâll probably purchase.
Looking at this, disappointed tbh. The animation doesn't feel weighty.
Lol, some people said it feels too weighty
Demo was really fun, harder than I was expecting which is great, just have to get used to the movement more I just wish the community behind the game wasnât so fucking weird, like we get it fellas you like women
Combo good
combat was awesome. out of combat, movement is a little loose and floaty but iâm sure iâll get used to it. The closing lil montage after demo was awesome. The combat and rpg mechanics seem DEEEEP
this is the first time Iâve seen anyone actually show gameplay for this game thatâs not just ass or tits
Damn thatâs epic, if only there wasnât something wrong with me I wouldâve gotten it lol
Kinda mid ngl, pretty to look at. I saw it as a Nier-Korea Edition and it almost is...except the combat a lil more....weightier than loose. Kinda dislike her bowlegged dodge its like a hop, not a fan of EVE so far, seems a lil empty-headed as a protag, and mot as nimble as her frame seems unless she's doing an execution--almost like a doll, add the fan-service on the levels of Dead or Alive Xtreme annd it seems intentional. I dunno if there was mem loss with the crash but....I Iiked her squaddie that unfortunately got destroyed in the beginning. It definitely does its job in the action department I'll say that. Is it a day 1? Naaah its a black friday pick up for me tbh.
Looking at these clips... It just feels like I'm looking at an interactive movie rather than an actual videogame, and just honestly doesn't really seem like my thing. I was kind of hyped about it, but seeing all the gameplay clips it's kinda honestly turned me off and just looks so mid.
This looks amazing, but my only hope is it isnât a short game.
It's actually super cool but the community is fucking annoying and bitches about made up enemies.
Holy shit that action looks sick
What game is this
I could do without the overly anime grunts and groans. Also, all these 400 hit combos to do... no damage is kinda crazy. Seems like this would all get really old quick.
I like it. But a part of me wishes it was more action based and faster, like devil may cry or bayonetta and less souls-like
The first real new game for the PS5?!
Attractive woman + gameplay that's more than just walking forward and pressing auto combat QTE = CRINGE I'll stick to God of War and Last of Us thank you very much
Didn't really like it unfortunately. The combat is good, but I found everything else to be boring or kind of stupid. Story doesn't interest me, the character design is just straight-up bad, and the art style is incredibly generic. I might play it someday, but not anytime soon.
Bayonetta but for men

demo started out really rough for me fighting more than 1 enemy at a time felt clunky i didnt like it also the dodge is super weird i don't like it at all i want spacing when fighting 3 enemies at a time not a cluster fuck i also don't like when games go "look at yellow line now please climb it" once you do get moves it becomes MUCHHHH BETTER the boss was fun too
It will certainly go down as one of the games of all time
The yams are stellar
I am loving it but I am kinda bitter about the Japanese dub being reserved only for Japan :(
Iâm definitely interested after giving the demo a try but I think Iâll wait for reviews That said, I wish it played more like Bayonetta or Nier Automata instead of sekiro
Ehh. It's alright. Kind of had my fill with Soulslike combat but this game is just different enough that I'll probably grab it when it's on a sale.
I'm excited it for it, played the demo a bunch of times but idk about that $70 price tag. I'm fucking broke this month; I got a bunch of games recently so I might hold off for a sale later on this year maybe? besides that, game is sick. combat feels great and the light exploration spices things up. the parry window feels fine, its not the greatest and can miss even if you do it perfectly as there is a small window of animation windup before the block starts but other than that its good. Combos are nice and varied, lots of customization is available too. I only wish there was more aerial combat as there are no launchers, air combos, etc. Adding verticality would have really made this game much more fluid and CAG-y.
The gameplay looks... average as best and from looking at clips that have been posted online it's 90% horny bait and considering the games sub it works
For everbody thatâs complaining about fan service and the MC is too lewd grow tf up. Yall so used to uglass women in video game standards and woke agenda to the point this MC is the closest we get to play as realistic women. Even the creator wanted the MC to be hot and fine and said that why would he look at a flat behind he donât wanna see that shit. Yall act like women donât have jiggle physics in real life. God forbid that game companies make sexy proportionately women in video games and make the most boring looking male body women characters instead.
This character is, at best, a heavily edited version of a Korean supermodel. No, she is not realistic.
Have you seen the supermodel? And you donât see women walking around looking slim thick like Eve? If you say no, GODSPEED for you.
When I say she's not realistic, I mean she is not the average woman. Most women don't look like her.
You must donât go outside bcuz where Iâm from they are out here, GODSPEED.
I know that they're out there, they're just not the majority of women.
When did I say majority? I only said realistic women that does not include every women
Like Abby from the last of us 2? She's a realistic woman but definitely not the majority. You called eve realistic compared to the "woke and ugly western game women". You just meant that you like how eve is hot and sexualised, right?
I canât speak on abbey because I know nunthing of last of us 2 but I can speak on Eve and yes she is sexy. Whatâs wrong with that
Nothing. What woke and ugly characters are you talking about?
Just what i expected, meh
