It's a 2-for-1 on this week's chart, as the Golden Week holiday period takes Stellar Blade to the top spot, as well as some impressive Switch sales figures
'Graphics Mode' and 'Balanced Mode' are also on the way.
Sure hope they can work out the performance issues on PS5 and take care of some of issues with the draw distance of things like shadows.
Kinda baffling that a game that's obviously not taxing on hardware gets a graphics and balanced mode. Good game though but I really hope they hire a new UI designer for their next game
Yeah, being so slow to do things is kind of annoying. I'm at the end of the game and I was upgrading everyone's weapon to max level, and if I did it all in one sitting, it'd probably take 45 minutes to do. I would have loved the auto advance dialogue if there wasn't such a delay in moving on to the next line when it reached the end, but oddly works great if you press the button to advance the on-screen text. I just HATE that you get the sound effect of the button press without a way to turn it off.
If you're going for recruiting all heroes, be aware there's a point of no return at some point that will lock you out from one of the major heroes. I won't spoil it, but you may want to look into that if it matters. That's what pissed me off the most. Otherwise, loving the game. I'll certainly be getting the DLC and keeping an eye out for a sequel.
yeah I had exactly the same issues that you are describing. Everything takes SO LONG to do when it should be done in a second. For the rest I'm really enjoying it though, Eiyuden and Sea of Stars have been games I've been looking forward to for a long time now.
Thanks for the headsup, I'm not at the end yet and hope that I didn't miss him/her
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.
