Hey, some people like to be punished.

To each their own ;)

This game is going to bomb hard.

Eonjay77d 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.

Rynxie77d 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.

Eonjay77d 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.

RpgSama77d 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.

RiseNShine77d ago (Edited 77d 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.

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

VersusDMC13h 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. 🙃🤣

thesoftware73013h ago

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.

thesoftware73013h ago

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

DarXyde13h ago

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

thesoftware73013h 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.

@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.

thesoftware73013h 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 7h ago

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

PhillyDonJawn14h ago

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

helicoptergirl8h 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

PhillyDonJawn5h ago

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

CrimsonWing691d 11h ago

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

JEECE1d 10h 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 6h ago

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

Hugodastrevas22h ago

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