Love the demo so if the full game matches it and the length is good, I'm in.

Cacabunga39d ago

Day one buy.. good games deserve support!!

gold_drake40d ago

i mean, the hype around it is gigantic atm.

VersusDMC40d ago

Loved the demo and just waiting on a 80+ metacritic or some good trusted reviews to pre order.

HankHill39d ago

What happens if it's a 79? 🐑

VersusDMC39d ago

I check the reviews to see if the complaints are dealbreakers for me to buy it day one.

Am i supposed to pre order it no questions asked? It's the first big console game for the developer so i am playing it safe.

Cacabunga39d ago

Loved the demo but waiting for demos.. please stop this planet i want to get off

VersusDMC39d ago

If you want to preorder right after playing a demo go ahead. For some games I would rather wait for reviews to come out regarding technical and other issues that might be present in the full game.

Abnor_Mal40d ago

I haven’t been really following this game and it’s demo, is it really this hype worthy? Honest question.

phoenixwing40d ago

Play the demo it'll be better than asking random internet users

Aphrodia40d ago

Some gamers have put over 100 hours into the demo. The developer has playfully told them to not over do it on the demo and save some love for the full game.

Bathyj40d ago

Good advice.
I spent more hours on the metal gear solid 2 demo than I did the game. Devil May cry too.

Elda40d ago

If you like hack n slash games like Bayonetta, Nier Automata or Devil May Cry you just may like Stellar Blade. If you have a PS5 try the demo.

Abnor_Mal40d ago

That’s the thing, I’ve never played Bayonetta, Nier Automata, and the only Devil May Cry was the DMC one.

Barlos40d ago

I thought it was visually very nice but I didn't particularly enjoy it. I'll be in a minority here but for all its action I just didn't find it very fun to play.

It's definitely worth a buy I reckon, but for me it's not a day one essential. I'll wait for a price drop.

shinoff218339d ago (Edited 39d ago )

Same boat. Demo was pretty cool but not the type of game I usually will buy day one. Way to many jrpgs I'd rather pick up this month. Hell I still gotta grab relink

I think it'll fall short of essential but that's a very high bar. It'll be a big success.

Barlos40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Hopefully it succeeds. I'm in the minority it seems but I didn't particularly like the demo. Something felt off about it, and I just didn't find it very fun. I think I'd give it a try during a sale, but for me it's not what I'd call essential

remixx11640d ago

Glad you wanna see it win despite not being the biggest fan

Barlos39d ago (Edited 39d ago )

@remixx116 of course. I don't want to see any game fail, whether I'm a fan or not.

This game reminds me of when my daughter used to play the Bratz dress-up game on the Gamecube.

VersusDMC1d 1h ago

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. 🙃🤣

thesoftware7301d ago

People seem more excited about the cute dress-up outfits rather than the actual game.

CrimsonWing6922h ago

@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.

Elda1d 1h ago

Absolutely no comparison.

thesoftware7301d ago

They both have a lot of cute outfits with which to dress up your avatar.

DarXyde1d 1h ago

I'm guessing because it's another game that you wanna play, but your pride won't let you...?

thesoftware7301d ago

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.

Hypertension14022h ago(Edited 22h ago)

@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.

thesoftware7301d ago

@Versus,

No, but I think that sounds awesome because the Bratzs sucked, so dismembering them in a game may have been fun.

Must be weird for Xbox fans to see Sea Of Thieves at number 4 on the NPD charts

ravens521d 18h ago

The "best selling" game!?!? Lol. The narratives, I swear.

PhillyDonJawn1d 2h ago

No it's more funny than weird. Cause ps fans swore SoT was bad and didn't interest them at all 😂

helicoptergirl19h ago

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

PhillyDonJawn17h ago

"A game can change in 6 years" 😂 no game ever.

CrimsonWing691d 22h ago

Well, would you look at that Sony! Guess there’s an audience after all for this stuff.

JEECE1d 22h ago

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.

anast1d 18h ago

People like this game, despite the big puritan push against it.

Hugodastrevas1d 10h ago

Stellar Blade deserves it, it's just a gorgeous well-optomized working right out of the box game. Would plat all over again.
