2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

From what I‘ve heard it‘s a good game and unsurprisingly sex sells. I’m not paying 70 bucks for any digital game but I‘ll check out the demo for now to see what it‘s all about.

Edit: From my first impression it looks competently made and runs well. I just miss an option to turn off the vignette effect it seems to utilize and maybe an option to have the camera slightly closer to read enemy attacks more easily. I‘ll definitely keep this one in mind during sales.

Yes, to read enemy attacks. That's why I want a zoomed in camera too. No other reason.

It's a worse Nier Automata in almost every way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 53 minutes ago

I couldn’t stand Near A Tomato but have tons of hours in SB. I grant it has nothing amazing in terms of story, but it has enough intricacies of combat to keep it fun, even if none of those mechanics were invented here.

Nier seemed to operate off a single attack button a lot of time, and working off RPG mechanics gave so many opportunities for level disparity that didn’t serve the game at all.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag 6 points 11 hours ago

I mean the combat is different. Nier Automata is a hack and slash while Stellar Blade is a Sekiro like with dodging and parrying enemy attacks as the focus.

But yeah everything else is Nier Automata but worse

[–] [email protected] 4 points 19 hours ago

As expected..

[–] [email protected] 1 points 19 hours ago

I'm fine with having it on ps5 only. I've been playing it since it came out and it's actually pretty good. The combat is solid and the exploration is pretty fun. And, yeah sure, part of the appeal is the outfits you can get for the character but like anything, finding an earning a new outfit is pretty fun
