yup 100% agree.

its so good.

ManMarmalade235d ago

Keep buying into m$ though, literally and figuratively

GhostScholar235d ago

So if it was on ps plus you wouldn’t play it then? Riiiiiigghhhhhht…….

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH235d ago

Best game this year as far as I’m concerned. Lords of the Fallen has a lot to prove.

TheEnigma313235d ago

It's an ok game. Way too much like the soul series.

BlackTar187235d ago

Way too much? You just sold it to everyone who was interested.

TheEnigma313235d ago

I'm not trying to stop sales. It is just unoriginal for me as far as gameplay goes.

goldwyncq235d ago

I wouldn’t call that a sleeper hit. Everybody who’s played the early access knew it was going to be the best RPG ever. Sleeper Hit implies that its success was unexpected.

rippermcrip234d ago

Whether or not the early access people knew... most gamers didn't know this game even was coming out or had heard of the franchise. Then it hit and boom everyone is talking about it.

gold_drake235d ago (Edited 235d ago )

BG 3 was a massive hit right out of the gate, rightfully so.

LoP was not but ppl payed alot more attention to it after a while thats a sleeper hit

TheColbertinator235d ago

On PC yes. On consoles it is slowly catching on to people.

Lies of P DLC Set to Be Released in Second Half of 2024

According to Neowiz, the Lies of P DLC is scheduled to be released in the second half of 2024, and is being developed in-house.

toxic-inferno16d ago

Great news.

If anyone is still deliberating picking this game up, I highly recommend it.

derek16d ago

Love this game, picked it up later than I should but was hooked on it.

robtion15d ago

Nice. Wizard of Oz DLC incoming!

toxic-inferno15d ago

The predictions are that the sequel will be Wizard of Oz. I read theories that the DLC would be Peter Pan.

__y2jb14d ago

I’ve enjoyed the game game and I think I’m just about to fight the end boss. The Pinocchio / puppet angle is the weakest part of the whole package imo. They should have just made their own world.

‘Stellar Blade, but good’ is here, and it came out seven months ago

Stellar Blade might be the hot game right now, but we already got a better version of it more than half a year ago.

Stellar blade is currently higher than lies of p on metacritic with 40 more reviews. No shade on Lies of P but just pointing that out.

But i don't even know why compare them? Because both are souls type games?

Then you can just reuse this article all the time and say Elden Ring is "whatever new souls game" but good for every new souls game.

Stellar blade hate articles must be rolling with clicks...

Tacoboto37d ago

Everyone in here now is clicking and commenting on this post.

Whoever the "community" is that approved it (Doubt it), contributors should report this article and any other from this low-quality click-bait website for being exactly what it is.

Remember that the reviewer loved the combat too. But because of the character and physics he wrote it off immediately.

Levii_9237d ago

Not that it even matters but both of those games are way better than their metacritic scores.

SubtilizZer37d ago

@VersusDMC “Stellar blade is currently higher than lies of p on metacritic with 40 more reviews“
This is actually misleading as Stellar Blade has only been reviewed on one platform. Both technically sit at 82… and Lies of P has about 30 more reviews right now.

VersusDMC37d ago

You are correct. Especially if you look at open critic. Just wanted to point out that Lies of P is not higher rated critically overall for the first paragraph and did some slight exaggeration not accounting for PC and Xbox reviews.

TwoPicklesGood37d ago

To be fair, Stellar Blade had a lot of hype and isn’t an indie game like Lies of P. So Lies 80% vs Stellars 82% only proves good good Lies was. That said, you all need to stop getting so upset over review scores. If you want the hame you’re going to get it, if you don’t you won’t and those supposedly claiming they are “on the fence” will wait for a sale regardless.

Crows9037d ago

Not really. I view all games with the same eyes. Don't care if indie or not...a game is a game.

Aussiesummer36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

the only things that are pointing out are the nipples in stellar blade.

I mean… it’s like saying we have a better NieR with Devil May Cry. Yea, there’s some similarities, but Lies is really hardcore in the sense of emulating a FromSoft game almost perfectly, where Stellar has some Souls-like elements, but I’d say it’s closer to Sekiro than say a Dark Souls game. This almost feels click-baitey

Psychonaut8537d ago

What if, and hear me out, they’re both really good? Mind blowing, I know.

Christopher37d ago

Listen here you, that's not how this is supposed to work. You choose a side and you defend it. None of this little "what if there's more than one good game out there" nonsense.

Fishy Fingers37d ago

Bro that behaviour is whats paying N4G's bills.

Christopher37d ago

It helps. But, as an individual, I still have my own opinion. I do wish conflict didn't sell as well as it does.

jambola37d ago

No wonder n4g is the cesspool that it is
Uses to be good but you'd rather clickbait low quality crap
Straight from the horses mouth, you really don't give a shit

Christopher37d ago

I said the opposite, jambola. But I don't think you're really reading what I say, only what you want me to say.

jambola37d ago

"I do wish conflict didn't sell as well as it does."
you put this story here

Stop it. There's only room for one good game at a time and you know it. Any more than that will literally melt people's minds.

Crows9037d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Oh geez...this is why journos suck...they can't even see differences between games.

Stellar blade is nothing like lies of P. Didn't these guys give stellar a bad score? Geez they really hate it. Stop the hate! Lol

Friendlygamer37d ago

It's kinda bizarre what gaming journalism has become

Crows9037d ago

It's called gaming activisim

Lives of P hits 7 million players

7 MILLION reasons to celebrate.
Thank you for being part of our journey.

darthv7274d ago

this reminds me... I have to get back into this one. Really well made and I like the story.

CrimsonWing6974d ago

Well deserved! I honestly feel this is the closest a Souls-like has gotten to emulating a FromSoft game to the point where I feel it was a FromSoft developed game.

toxic-inferno73d ago

It really has that classic Souls-like feel of the Bloodborne and earlier From Software titles. There's so much to love about the game, and easily one of the strongest first entries in a new franchise I've seen in a long time.

Some have criticised it for taking too much from the Soulsbourne games, but the additions and changes it makes are brilliant. It probably has the best health system of any game I've played in the genre.

Armyofdarkness73d ago

I played it and it's awesome, but what does this mean. Do they count the players that started it on GP and played 5 mins in these numbers? Last I checked this game sold 1 mill (October).

Furesis73d ago

It does say "players" and not copies sold so i think you are correct

Petebloodyonion73d ago

It would be nice to have an actual established norm for "players count" as it can be anything.

A player could be someone who cumulates at least 30 min of playtime in the game.
Also, it would be nice to understand why a single-player-only game would need a player count to measure the success of a game.
For example, it would be understandable if each player counts for some monetization like Youtube that MS has to pay the studio.

Sgt_Slaughter73d ago

Anyone who has booted up a game on Game Pass counts as a "player", which is why Microsoft and others have been using those kinds of buzzwords because they sound better than the lower "copies sold" number would be

I played this on GamePass, 1000G'd it, then bought it on the PS5 and Platinum'd it, all in the space of about a month or so. Was absolutely addicted to it and highly recommened it for any on the fence. Can't wait for either some DLC.
