Stellar Blade: 6. Hmmmmmmmmm.

Levii_92376d ago

I laughed my ass of at the score.

coolbeans376d ago

Yeah. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and read what they have to say, but it's suspicious in the face of other recent indies that've been praised.

Levii_92376d ago

I bet Edge is gonna give Breath of the Wild 3.0 a 10 again.

Tacoboto376d ago

Anyone else playing Stellar Blade and made it to the Great Desert?

I felt the story barely had us do anything here but there are a lot of side quests taking us back and the framerate is kind of all over the place. Curious if anyone else is noticing the same?

It's the only blemish so far in what's surprisingly become my current GOTY.

Levii_92376d ago

I don't see how can the framerate be all over place? It's litteraly one of the most stable games released, unless maybe you have it on Balanced mode, put it on Resolution or Framerate mode.

And yes the Great Desert is almost exclusively just a gorgeous big zone for side quests and fun.

Tacoboto376d ago (Edited 376d ago )

Yeah that's what's surprising me - the rest of the game even on Balanced feels like a solid 60fps (and my display is 120hz VRR).

But even on Prioritize Performance it feels like it struggles in certain spots only in the Great Desert. The Buried Ruins section felt like the roughest area but another one was more into the desert near a statue with scaffolding wrapped around (and a dozen or so enemies including the tentacles).

All the side quests I had there are done now so I may only return now to fish again. But framerate aside I agree - it's one of the more beautiful gaming deserts and this game's side quests have been way more nice and varied than I thought they'd be.

Levii_92376d ago

I have to say i haven't explored the Great Desert 100% maybe just 40%, i plan on exploring everything there on NG+ so i don't know how Buried Ruins feel yet and also i'm running the game unpatched so maybe that's it i don't know but for me the Great Desert is perfect framerate wise if it's not on Balanced mode.

I absolutely agree man, the game is much more than i thought it would be in terms of content, exploration, collectables, secrets and side quests. Classic video game stuff! None of the modern BS. It's my GOTY as well so far.

VersusDMC376d ago

From what i remember the 2 open world hubs only have 1 story mission each. The gun missons. Most of the open world sections are for side missions, upgrades, cans,costumes, etc. Still fun to run around and discover some wierd puzzles there.

I feel like there are some fps dips but not all over the place.

And for people who don't do enough of the side missions...know that you will be locked out of a section of the game if you don't do enough. Fill that lily bar to 100%.

Elda376d ago (Edited 376d ago )

Stellar Blade a 6? That score is blasphemy. Score should be a 9, no lower than an 8. It's GOTY.

badz149376d ago

It's EDGE! The only games they are generously rating are Nintendo games.

Michiel1989376d ago

so the 10 they gave to Last of Us, LBP and Bayonetta also were rigged? or only if you don't agree with it?

badz149375d ago (Edited 375d ago )

@Michiel1989

TLoU and LBP are GoTY winning games highly regarded throughout the industry, what's your point? and what does Bayonetta has anything to do with this argument or even Sony?

The Meta for Stellar Blade is 81 after 130 reviews and a user score of 91. EDGE is giving it 21 points lower. Rise of Ronin? EDGE 60 vs Meta 76, Spider-man 2, EDGE 80 vs 90 Meta, R&C Rift Apart, EDGE 70 vs 88 Meta, Astro's Playroom, EDGE 70 vs Meta 83, Sackboy Big Adventure, EDGE 60 vs Meta 79, FFXVI EDGE 70 vs Meta 87 and remember Ghost of Tsushima? EDGE gave it 60 vs Meta 83...like WTF was THAT?? I can go on dude. It's an established trend for EDGE to be harsh when it comes to most PS games but they are very generous with Nintendo's games.

Stellar Blade deserves more than 6 for the Raven boss fight alone!

robtion375d ago

Finished it 3 times and just got the platinum. Amazing game.

buffig375d ago

I chose to take Adams hand. Beat the boss, started NG+ instantly. I was excited for the game, but it was still more than I hoped it would be. There HAS to be a sequel

Stellar Blade Director Gets Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Platinum Trophy, Says It's Game of the Year

The levels of praise for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 have been off the charts since it launched a few weeks back, and now that more people are rolling credits on the RPG, it's getting some additional Game of the Year talk.

Case in point: Kim Hyung-tae, director of Stellar Blade and founder of its developer, Shift Up, has taken to social media in order to express his love for Sandfall Interactive's debut.

The year isn’t close to over so it’s a little premature to be calling for GoTY already.

andy8514d ago (Edited 14d ago )

I mean he did say it's his GOTY. But there doesn't seem to be much to challenge it unless DS2 or Ghost of Yotei improve greatly on the last ones or there's a big surprise. Split Fiction is the only proper challenger really so far this year given ITT won it in the past. But given the universal praise and it's highest user rated game ever there's only one runner for me so far this year

gold_drake14d ago

hard disagree.

if u no, u no.

MrNinosan14d ago

While I agree, I can only imagine DS2 and Ghost of Yotei stand in the way.

This year has already been amazing and I hope we'll get more bangers this year and I'm mostly hyped for DS2, but after spending over 100 hours with Expedition 33, even I who normally only like Final Fantasy rpgs think Expedition 33 will be fighting for the GOTY for real.

jznrpg14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

I’m not saying it’s not a contender but over half the year left. Before this game came out who would think it would be GoTY? Some more games can come into contention out of nowhere so I like to play the years games before making up my mind

Armaggedon14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

I dont think Obscur is that great, but I dont see what is going to compete. I guess kingdom come 2. Ninja Gaiden 4 will have to be the ultimate hack and slash game to ever be considered a candidate. Oh wait, I forgot aboit Ghost of Yotei.

I still have to start the new dynasty warriors game, get doom, looking forward to lost souls aside, playing south of midnight and honestly Clair definitely set a standard that’s going to be tough to top. But, it’s not impossible for sure

gold_drake14d ago

quite honestly, i played doom yesterday, its abit, dull.

definitely action packed, but i dunno, i expected abit more.

gold_drake14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

i do too, this game, fuck me sideways.

only a few games give me that sorta feeling, i couldnt stop playing.

the music, fuuuck so good.
the story, the characters, fhe battles ,so good.

i love this game so much ha

gigoran813d ago

this game, the story, and the music, gave me real physical emotions. Any game that can do that to a player deserves praise.

ravens5214d ago

This is my GOTY so far. Ghost is a day 1, i still have to finish ds1 so i probably wont be there day 1 for ds2. I kno Ghost is gonna be amazing, but its gonna be hard to top this as my goty.

UE5 based this time

robtion15d ago

That said, I think Stellar Blade looks better than most current UE5 games.

Relientk7715d ago

If Stellar Blade is anything to go by, yeah I am hyped to see this new game.

robtion15d ago

I just saw the Stellar Blade director just finished Clair Obscur (96hrs playtime). He clearly has good taste. Gives me some confidence concerning their new game.

Notsofast14d ago (Edited 14d ago )

he did make Stellar Blade based on inspiration of Nier Automata God of War 4, and Horizon Zero Dawn so if he makes a Stellar Blade 2 I could see it reaching Final Fantasy 7 remake levels

jznrpg15d ago

I hope it’s single player.

robtion15d ago

Let's hope so. If not I have no interest in it.

robtion15d ago

Very interested to see what they follow Stellar Blade up with. Easily my GOTY 2024.

Levii_9215d ago

I have 120 hours in this game..

Astro Bot was mine easily but Stellar Blade is right behind it and then Silent Hill 2.

robtion15d ago

Yeah I have around 260 hours. I also loved the Silent Hill 2 remake and Space Marine 2.
