Hey, some people like to be punished.

To each their own ;)

This game is going to bomb hard.

Eonjay74d ago

I don't know how much they would have to sell to break even but I imagine that its not that much. I doubt it will bomb given the current level of interest in Stellar Blade.

Rynxie74d ago

I'm sure it will sell to the 10 thirsty n4g fans, but it won't sell to the masses. Bayonetta doesn't sell that much and this is a smaller, less known studio.

Eonjay74d ago

Just looking at the current preorder charts on PlayStation its number 10 with over a month to go. While it might not sell millions upon millions, it won't equate to a bomb. I don't think anyone reasonably expects it to be top seller of the year, but thats far from a bomb.

RpgSama74d ago

This is a small studio, surely the budget is very contained and the game has had a lot of exposure by Sony, unless it reviews terribly I think it will do at least well enough for us to see more of this developer.

RiseNShine74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

If you stop judging the game for the fan service for a second, actually the gameplay they've been showing looks quite good, i'm pretty sure it's going to do well, not 10 million units well but at least break even or make a good profit easily.

"hidden nerf" when it's right there in the description.

No thank you, I prefer to own my games physically whenever possible.

FyBy1h ago

So getting digital licence for free or "nothing" is always "nothing" for you? Generaly I understand, that people prefer physical copies. But if someone gives something for free, I dont get it. You dont have internet? :-)

monkey60221h ago

These never seem to justify the rewards. You'd be better off earning the stars and redeeming them for the store credit. Then using that store credit towards the game like Stellar Blade. You would get further with your points that way and spend less of them

VR218h ago

Agreed, I get the £5 credit every 6 week
using playstation stars 😊 put it twds dlc on walkabout golf

VersusDMC16h ago

When i did the calculations for helldivers 2 you saved 10 dollars plus the tax you would have to pay compared to buying it with store credit.

Problem is games aren't on Stars on launch and when it goes to stars it is close to having a sale.

I heard the physics on this game are top tier.

Brand new outfits? Aren't they the ones that were censored? Fans got up in arms about when the devs changed them a little bit? Well whatever the case, they should never have been censored in the first place. Glad the "original outfits" are back, so it seems. I personally don't care about the outfits per se, but I do care about censorship in the games industry and I hate it when it happens.

Huey_My_D_Long4d ago

Jury is still out on it being censorship but ok

lucian2294d ago

The outfits were Def changed that's one thing for sure. And and in a lazy way.

Aside from that, yes there are new outfits including two new ninja ones that weren't in game at all

CrimsonWing694d ago (Edited 4d ago )

It’s so weird right? Like their “intended designs,” but then give the uncensored variations? Whatever it is everyone can now have their cake and eat it, too now.

But yea, straight up censorship and a lazy “reasoning” behind it. This all could’ve been avoided had they just done this in the first place… but all’s well that ends well.

lucian2294d ago

i think in the end it helped with sales; bad press is good press as they say

blackblades4d ago

This couldve been avoided if they made the changes before the game went gold. Next time Stella blade 2 make sure the game is the way they want it before it goes gold. Also the multiplatform game gatcha I guess I'm curious how that is going to go. Considering how nikke is on mobile how stella is on console

blackblades4d ago

The OG ones arent back these new ones are recolored versions of the OG ones. Meaning they didnt change them back. They were probably intended to be that way like the creator said.

lucian2294d ago

then version 1.0 wouldnt have been different

CrimsonWing694d ago (Edited 4d ago )

That really makes no sense considering they made variations of suits. These suits are literally variations of the pre-patch original designs and again think of it this way, if those previous suits were always the “intended design” why the huge push back or need for “internal discussions” when they could’ve easily reversed the changes with a patch if they always intended to release the original “unintended design” versions later? It makes absolutely no sense, so what, these are the “unintended versions?”

I mean the guy even said in an interview the changes in the patch were going to upset people, so…. Why would you do that when you released the game knowing not everyone would be able to do the update patch? All these people without internet are getting the unintended designs?

It’s all super weird. What I think happened is the “internal discussions” was with Sony and they got Sony just to ease up. One thing’s for sure they can’t patch these up and say the changes were always the intended final design…

VariantAEC3d ago

@Crimson
Where did they say there were internal discussions about the designs you feel were censored?

CrimsonWing693d ago (Edited 3d ago )

“At the same time, Kim also understands that this answer will not convince all users, hence, they are discussing the issue internally and will be coming up with a solution soon.”

That help, bud?

And I’ll let you dwell on this thought, if the outfits were never intended to be a design… why are they now? Also, why are they the variants of the censored outfits, uncensored? Keep in mind these were the outfits released on the disc sent to retail where the developers knew not everyone can do the updates to patch them, sooo… Super weird, if you ask me.

I wish I was as gullible as some people. I always wondered how politicians can think they can get away with bullsh*ting people with PR talk… I now know why they think they can get away with it.

How long do y'all reckon before the inevitable Nier crossover outfits make their way onto Eve? I love this game.
