PSA: This is actualy a good game.

[chriswinslow]

I have recently finished Stellar Blade on ps5 and I would like to notify some people. Stellar Blade is actualy a very fun soulslite type of game. It has fun combat and a story that really doesn't get enough credit. This games true value has unfortunately been diminished due to people who have never played the game claiming it is only for gooners. This isn't the first game to feature a protagonist in tight clothing or the first to have jiggle physics. So to all the people who are gonna hate, grow the hell up. If you aren't mature enough to look past the sexualization then you probably aren't mature enough to play the game.

What exactly is a gooner? I don't know what that even means.

Why would you look past the sexualization though? That is clearly the hook and selling point of the game. I would think that the game is not for you if you don't enjoy those things.

You stay because it's a good game, but, you walk through the door because of the high fanservice. I'm not even considering buying this game without the high sex appeal. I'm just not, just like I'm not going to look past some Naughty Dog trash no matter how good the visuals, story or gameplay might theoretically be.

The true value of this game, for me at least, is the high fanservice and sex appeal with it additionally being a good game with nice graphics. I'm not even looking twice at this game without teh fanservice and sex appeal.

I understand your perspective, but in my opinion I felt it fell into the soulslite category for the fact that it borrows a lot of the parry, dodge, and explore elements on souls games. However it is very forgiving and pretty easy (on normal which is the hardest difficulty on your initial playthrough), so that's why I said "lite" not "like". I see both sides the argument, although as Linken Park once said "in the end it doesn't even matter". The game is the same game no matter what we call it, no point in arguing for no reason :)

I can't discuss what a gooner is here without probably getting flagged. Although I see your point, I certainly enjoyed the draw of having a pretty female lead as the player. I'm just saying that people need to be able to look past the sexualization, not meaning to ignore it, just saying to appreciate the game for more than just that. I'm a straight guy so I like Eve's appeal as much as the next guy, but I'm also able to appreciate the game for more than that.

Just because it has a dodge and parry system does not a soulslite/soulslike make. Its an action adventure hack and slash game. Its closer to DmC than it is a souls game.

The best part of this game for me was the OST. Anyone can listen to it for free online. Also it's Soulslite with some borrowed elements but overall it's more character action like DMC or MGR.
