darthv72648d ago

I sense some from software influence in this one. Looks awesome.

Eonjay648d ago

Very nice get for GamePass.

Crows90648d ago

Get? Do you mean they paid for this game to be released day one on game pass but off of competitor services?

Can't be. But yes it is a good get.

itsmebryan647d ago

@Crowes90
Yes, to everything you said. It's great the Gamepass Subscribers "Get" to play this at no extra charge day one.

alb1899648d ago

Looks more like Devil May Cry.

warriors_13648d ago

looks way more bloodborne to me

The game has me excited since its reveal via IGN.
No doubt the game still managed to wow with the new gameplay trailer.

Deathdeliverer648d ago

Having every console this gen is great. This game was a day one buy for my PS5 when it was first shown. With this gamespass news it will have saved me 60-$70. It sucks that gamespass does not have a yearly sub as that would save you money as a bundle. On the flip side, I just have it cancelled until it’s something I want to play like Forza, Halo until I realized it’s far from what I want in Halo, and Flight sim. Once they are beaten/lose their luster I just cancel. I’ve had my series X from launch and probably paid for 4 months of sub. Bought zero games. Its kinda ridiculous.

VersusDMC648d ago

I do the same. Except i choose the refund...the option is there and the reason is i have no more games to play.

I did buy some FPS boost X 360 games though. They usually go for under 10 dollars on sale.

Deathdeliverer648d ago (Edited 648d ago )

Sheesh… I never knew refund was an option. TBH I’m that guy that doesn’t refund anything unless I have absolutely no use for it so I wouldn’t do that anyway. I just don’t get enough value out of gamespass to keep it every month. They better come up with some bundles, that way I’d be in for the whole sub. Otherwise one month at a time is all they get when I see value in the chosen month.

StarkR3ality648d ago

Why are people refunding Game pass after a couple of days. That is just pure Dosser behaviour that. I'm sure there is more than enough genuine game pass customers to make up for you scrubbers

XbladeTeddy648d ago

That's the stark reality of human behaviour.

EvertonFC648d ago (Edited 648d ago )

It's the same way I do it, I only ever subscribe for about 4 months of the year, same with Netflix, Amazon, Disney etc.
I binge play it watch them all in a month then cancel and then re subscribe 3 months later once more content is on there

Deathdeliverer648d ago

@EvertonFC

Yessir. Exactly. Why am I paying for Disney plus when I’m done with Mando, and the Marvel show of the month? I think the massive dislikes I have are from people that are more fanboy than adult. It’s logical to me.

StarkR3ality648d ago

That's not what he's saying you pleb. He's not paying for it at all. He refunds it after a couple of days when he finished the game he wants to play, E.G returning a game when you've completed it and getting a full refund like a loser.

rippermcrip648d ago

When your GP expires, use the Xbox Live conversion trick. You can buy up to 3 years of live for $120 or less. Then you have to purchase just 1 month of GP and it converts all 3 years of your Live to UGP.

Deathdeliverer648d ago

@rippermcrip

I’d definitely do that. Now that’s value!

gamer9648d ago

Does this still work today though? Only for new subscribers? Because i'd love to get another 3 years free games for super cheap, mine ran out this spring i've been subbing monthly

gamer9648d ago

Yup that initial deal to turn your xbox live gold remaining (up to 36 months) into gamepass ultimate for 1 dollar, ridiculous.

Also this game looks great

VersusDMC648d ago

This and Callisto are the only games i want to play from that gamescom showcase. And this will be a free(subscribe, beat the game, refund) gamepass pick up as well.

darthv72648d ago

...refund... you ask for refund on gamepass... why?

VersusDMC648d ago

Because after i beat the game i subscribed for one month to play in a week or weekend and there is no other games i want to play on gamepass i cancel it. And it gives me an option for staying subscribed till the end of the month or refund. Why would i not choose refund if it's an option if there is no other game i want to play?

I'm pretty much doing the same thing as the 1 dollar deal every one was high fiving each other for doing.

AmUnRa648d ago

So, you guys play the game on GP and then refund it? So you dont give a fuck about the developers who put a lot of work in it and dont want to pay for it?
I wil pay full price so the developers get theyr paycheck and the studio has money left to start up a new project. Making a game cost a shipload of money, and it has to come from somewhere. But you sceapgoats want to play game for free? Oke whatever....

SonyStyled648d ago

@ AmUnRa no need to curse over a well recycled topic my dude. I buy all my games too, which is about one game at full price a year and 2-3 other AAA games during a sale

StarkR3ality648d ago

@darth

Because he's a scrotum.

gamer9648d ago

@AmUnRa - the devs made the choice to get paid by microsoft for their game to go on their service, rather than do things the old way of selling individual units. Nobody forced them to do this. Are you saying you know better than the devs what is best for them? Devs choose to be on gamepass or not.

darthv72648d ago

interesting... Ive never canceled so i had not known there was that option. And I didnt do the $1 deal but i have earned gamepass months from bing searching as i search stuff every day and earn points i can redeem towards gamepass.

I just wonder if they catch on to the sub / refund / sub / refund? They can prob see all that but right now havent decided if they want to impose any restrictions yet. Im sure they are just happy people are using it.

VersusDMC648d ago

It's not common. I just canceled crunchyroll after watching spy x family and there was no refund option.

I'll see if it works when i beat plague tale 2 as that's the next gamepass game i want to play. I'm fine paying the basic gamepass monthly fee (10) to beat a game if it doesn't work then.

generic-user-name648d ago

There's an argument to be made that devs can suffer by having their games on Game Pass (not saying it's a fact, just that there's an argument for it), but then you have people doing this? Lol.

VersusDMC648d ago

This won't hurt 3rd party devs on gamepass. They get paid upfront and if they get bonuses it has to be based on downloads or time played. So i am adding to their bonuses. :)

Are you saying that if you see a mislabeled copy of Elden Ring for 10 dollars, that scans at 10 dollars at Walmart...you're going to get the cashier to charge you 60 to support the devs? No way you don't take that deal.

Lightning77648d ago

MS paid 600k to an indie dev to get their game on gamepass. That's on indie dev, imagine the big budget titles. So they can't be suffering too much it seems.

gamer9648d ago (Edited 648d ago )

I think this method hurts microsoft not the devs. Also i'm WAY too lazy to do this.

Orchard648d ago (Edited 648d ago )

Just tried this w/ Xbox support and it sounds like this is misinformation (in most countries at least).

They will refund if you accidently renew (e.g. you had a subscription and forgot to cancel) and you contact them within a short period of time after the automatic renewal.

They will not refund if you literally just subscribed fresh, or the renewal was days/weeks ago, so the above scenario doesn't actually work.

Note, this is for the US. According to their customer support, customers in Denmark, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Canada, Israel, Korea and Turkey can get 'prorated refunds'.

VersusDMC648d ago

I got a month of Ultimate on July 11th(charged 19.20 CAN on my credit card), beat the new turtles game, did a quick playthrough of yakuza kiwami 2 and canceled and got the refund on july 26(-19.20CAN on my credit card).

It could be that i cancelled it from my Microsoft.com account and it gives you the option there?. Just checked there and it says it refunded me the 19.20 Canadian.

Orchard648d ago

Ah you’re in Canada - Canada is one of the few countries where they said they allow subscription refunds.

Here in the US they do not.

Outside_ofthe_Box648d ago

Sucks that you can't do that in the US, would have been very pro gamer of them to do so. Also why not expand 'prorated refunds' worldwide. Doesn't make sense to have it in some countries and not others, unless laws are forcing them to have that option and therefore would otherwise not have that pro gamer refund option if not forced to do so.

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.

robtion16d ago

Nice. Wizard of Oz DLC incoming!

toxic-inferno16d ago

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

__y2jb15d 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.

Read Full Story >>
videogamer.com
VersusDMC38d 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...

Tacoboto38d 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.

Aussiesummer37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

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

CrimsonWing6938d ago

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

Psychonaut8538d ago

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

Christopher38d 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.

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.

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

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.

Armyofdarkness74d 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).

Furesis74d ago

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

Petebloodyonion74d 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.
