BIG3

Wonder if a NIKKE port will happen.

@AllenSnyder you should ignore the culture war and get it anyway if you like action games. It is a really good game and a lot of fun. Especially the boss battles are extremely well done.

What did they change with the cybernetic costume? I unlocked it yesterday and it is too spicy for me as is. Lol.

Eve could be dressed as a nun for all I care. Shes still hot.

My Xbox and Switch will be collecting dust until Im done with Stellar Blade.
My first impressions so far: combat, music, graphics, design and skilltree are phenomenal. I especially love the bossbattles.
Story and VO is fine. Nothing special.
Some of the platforming sequences are annoying but its no dealbreaker.
Im playing completely blind and having a blast. Also love that the game got ng+ where everything carries over. Will be playing Stellar Blade A LOT.

@danzoEX No. Eves body design is based on Shin Jae-eun. Face is made up.

To answer the question. This doesnt matter at all. Played for about an hour after the demo. Game is off to a great start. My only gripe is traversal takes some time getting used to.

Im not playing next gen because I havent finished the original and I dont want two trophy lists. Lol.

I've barely played it on ps4 and I dont want two separate trophy list so I'll stick with the og version. Glad to see it also gets a minor update. What am I saying. All I'll be playing is Stellar Blade.

@Kidfunkadelic83 Hah. Yeah. Finally, it's time. I was sold on the first review trailer. Glad to see the game has been made and is reviewing well. I also really enjoyed the demo, so much so this might end up being my personal GOTY. Have a good weekend dude!

@SingleStooge some outlets say story is 20hrs, some say 30hrs.

Just read ng+ has been patched in and will be available day 1. Nice! Now all I need is photomode.

@mkr read in another article the story is around 20 hrs.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Thanks for the headsup! Ill be offline for a week (as always when a new game I bought drops. Lol)

Oh yeah! I actually liked the English dubs. My only concern is the finicky platforming. Seems like it will be a mighty good time! I cant wait!!

A more linear game is something I find most welcome.

@mariomaster96 I certainly hope so.

@J2theEzzo No, I just don't like the combat at all. Even the fights I win are boring to me. I just want to enjoy the exploration, character dynamics and quests. So in this case, yes, chew my pudding.

@breakneck Yeah. So annoying.

Looks like something I could get really addicted to. Better stay clear.

I would love this feature to skip combat in bg3.

This game is checking all the boxes for me. Friday can't come soon enough.

@Gamer83 love the contrast you got going on between Metroid Dread and Princess Peach Showtime. Sounds like a great weekend!

Looking forward to your review Sammy.

PS5: Street Fighter 6 and Fallout 4 (backlog)
Series X: Witcher 3, my fifth playthrough or something. Havent played it in years but decided to do another run and take my time with it. Such a great game. I love being back in Velen.
Switch: Super Mario Wonder (backlog)

Aaand its done.

I hope bg3 receives a mod that let combats play out automatically (like in fire emblem) because they are too tedius for me. I completely fell off the game over this.

@Zenos Sounds good to me.

Storywise no chance. But Stellar Blades gameplay was smooth and the visuals are great.

Yeah. My next console will be ps6 or ps6 pro.

@B0udoir I dont know how I feel about it. Sometimes I think its really fun. Sometimes not at all. Kind of a weird game in that regards in my book.

Does the ps5 version mean separate trophy list? If so I might not upgrade.

@Mikey856 Hey! I appreciate you reaching out and your offer but I actually got the plat last week. Thank you.

PS5: This week I platted Helldivers 2 and Street Fighter 6. So theres obviously only one thing to do. Play more HD2 and SF6. That is the plan until Stellar Blade comes out.
Switch: Supermario Wonder (backlog work)
XSX: Nothing

Sidenote. SF6 might be the best modern fighting game Ive ever played. Its just so smooth. And Ive been having a lot of fun playing Helldivers with friends and strangers. Even had some randoms willing to help me with some coop trophies.

Maybe it would have sold better if SE didnt release Crisis Core and FF16 in between? Also, theres less ps5s than ps4s so that has to be a factor. Personally, I didnt buy it because the demo was boring and not worth the asking price.

@DennisReynolds They are already investing.

Everything this director has said so far aligns with my own thoughts on video games.

Realized that on this entire list I've only played Helldivers 2 and Tekken 8. 2024 is about to be a Stellar year though!!

Dope to see confidence in a new IP. After playing the demo Im sure Stellar Blade will be a fun time.

@The_Pixel_King I have played Helldivers 2 mostly with randoms. It works just fine. Sometimes I end up with a really solid crew and that is just awesome.

Been a great year so far with only more good stuff on the horizon. I think this year might top 2023, at least for me.

Switch and XSX: Nothing.
PS5: I'm close to platting Helldivers 2 and Street Fighter 6 so that's my goal before Stellar Blade comes out.
Have a wonderful weekend everybody.

2026 is my guess.

Grenade pistol will be awesome for blitz missions. Im still trying to earn the 360 trophy.

So which costume collabs would be nice? 2B, Tifa, Old School Cammy, Pyra (will never happen), that blonde chick from Persona 5, Quiet, Lara Croft... first comes to mind.

I wonder if the costumes will have different buffs.

@STOBO You got that right.

@KillerBoy Its not that I dont like the answer its just that its false, and discussing untrue statements is a waste of time.

@LifeGirl Thats a matter of taste more than anything.

@thefourfoldroot1 like in Nier Auomata where you had to play 1hr with 9S in his boxers (not that dis effected the difficulty)? Or like with peeking at 2B?

@KillerBoy "Forced" is a strong word and I dont believe you (because there are no evidence for this claim) and I have no plans on discussing it either.
