@Darude84 lol I heard returnal is pretty challenging so I'm a little cautious about it. I don't have a particular itch for any type of game rn. So I'll probably start with Ghost then Returnal, and DS. Mainly cause I feel like DS will be the one I enjoy the most so I'm saving the best for last

About to finish my 1st playthrough of Stellar Blade. I'll probably play around with a 2nd run get a few outfits here and there but I think I'm ready to start something else. But definitely one of the most fun games this year so far. I really hope they make a sequel and flesh out a proper story, world, characters

While I still have the sub active, I wanna try some games I've been meaning to play but just haven't for whatever reason. So it'll be something between Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, or Returnal

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Stellar Blade?

Judal27

If it keeps up. Definitely a 9. Would give it a 10 but since it's not actually like a soulslike really, I feel it could do with a way better narrative. It's not that bad but man some of the dialog is so stiff. And i quite like eve as a protagonist. She has little moments like 2b in the banter and side quests that just make her likeable

And from a game play standpoint, it's amazing. Have no clue what people mean by horrible platforming but maybe I just haven't reached those points yet. Horrible platforming to me is the final extra dungeon in FFXV when the game wasn't designed for movement puzzles and jumping. This nails it. Combat is satisfying with tons of moves to use. And a few different play styles when you mix in stealth and the gun with different ammo types. It's fun to explore and the level design is great. Excellent art design and soundtrack too. This really blew away my expectations. I actually thought it would be like lost soul aside and never release lol

Re: PS5 Sensation Stellar Blade Has One of the Highest User Ratings Ever

Judal27

Honestly I'm glued to this game every chance I get. Exploring is my favorite part of the game even tho its main attraction is its combat. Finding chests and cans, doing side missions or solving puzzles all around the map has been so fun. And collecting new outfits and accessories too. It easily deserves at least a 9

Re: Stellar Blade PS5 Fans Irate Over Alleged Censorship

Judal27

The reaction is a bit overblown but at the end of the day, censorship of an m rated game that was promised to not be censored is absolutely wrong. And it rubs the wrong way even more when it always seems to be specifically Japanese or Asian flavored games that get censored

That being said, I still see this as a win for this type of game. Even if the censorship was probably their doing, I'm surprised Sony actually picked this game up when they seem so hellbent on promoting games that look like the last of us for a long while now. Instead they let a game with a sexy female character, with hilarious jiggle physics, and plenty of "male gaze" outfits go out to the public. So I still think if this kind of stuff is that important to you. It's probably best to support the game. Especially cause it's actually an incredibly fun game

Stellar blade. I think I made it to the next area beyond what the demo offered. The game is amazing so far. It's been very fun running around and exploring off the beaten path making sure I've checked everything. I really hope it keeps it up cause so far it's been amazing and I'm playing the 1.0 version. It plays really well I have no trouble parrying enemies outside of not being that good with parry mechanics in the first place. I imagine the updated version is even better

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Stellar Blade?

@Kidfunkadelic83 assuming what @thefourfoldroot1 said works, that's probably what I'll do too. I forgot ng+ seems to have new costumes that aren't just color variations of existing ones too. And I don't intend to play the whole game in the bunny suit lol as tempting as it is. Gonna try them all out

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Stellar Blade?

Judal27

I'm eagerly waiting for my copy to arrive. A bit bummed by the censorship but I'm not passing on a fantastic looking game. Plus you can apparently play the uncensored version by not installing the updates with the physical version. So that's how I'll play it. Never had issues with the supposed input delay either

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 525

Ff7 rebirth. Finishing it up this weekend. 125 hrs and what a journey it's been. One of the very best games out there, I can't believe they managed to pull it off as well as they did. I'd love to stay and get the platinum but that would probably double my play time lol. And I just don't have the patience for that anymore. But this was an amazing game

After that I'll probably try some indies on ps plus extra while I wait for stellar blade to finally release

Re: Stellar Blade Is a Better Game Than NieR: Automata, Yoko Taro Reckons

Judal27

Lol nier replicant is better than automata so I'd rather he was praising it in comparison to that instead to really get hyped

Just based off the short demo, I do prefer the slower more methodical approach of stellar blades combat over automatas. If the music is consistent throughout the game, I think they'll have equally good music. And who knows about the story, but it seems interesting albeit cliche so far

Re: Feature: Push Square Readers' Top 10 PS5 Games of 2024 So Far

Judal27

Well deserved no.1. I got to ch.12 and the game opened up with tons of new quests and side content to do. And I just couldn't help but smile cause this is what I love about jrpgs. I don't care if I'm supposed to stop sephiroth. Let me run around and do errands for strangers, play cards games, and just explore this gorgeous world

Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite PS5 Game of 2024 So Far?

Judal27

As I said in another article I've only played ff7 rebirth. And I don't think anything will top it. It just doesn't stop being fun. But this year is packed with all sorts of good games. It's a tough battle. I have dd2 and pre ordered stellar blade. I also recently got a hold of a year of plus for free. So now I'm considering seeing what the hype for helldivers is all about

Re: It's 'Probably About Time' for a New Final Fantasy Tactics, Says Yoshi-P

Judal27

A template of 16 as in the world and the way it uses eikons could work as a tactics game I think. But trying to fit another game into the already established lore and story, kinda like what Valkyrie Profile and FF12 did with their spin off tactics games, probably wouldn't

Either way I hope this come to fruition along with the remaster

Re: Stellar Blade Difficulty Designed to Be 'Challenging' Yet Approachable

Judal27

Id never play an easy mode lol. Besides the demo had a really nice mix of not too difficult mobs that you could really mess around with all your moves like in action games such as bayo and dmc. With the bosses providing slightly slower more methodical game play which is the only thing that really reminds me of dark souls

Re: Poll: Are You Playing the Stellar Blade Demo?

Judal27

I'm loving it so far especially the music. What a turn around, I was initially skeptical mainly cause I didn't really think it would actually come out. But playing it now feels good. The story is intriguing and pretty gruesome. The enemy designs are awesome. I love what exploration the demo has. I'm definitely pre ordering as soon as I'm able to now

The only thing I'm a little iffy about is the EN dub. I wish we got the JP dub too and I don't really feel like importing but oh well

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Dragon's Dogma 2?

Judal27

I'm tempted to at least install it and just play around in it for a bit since it's just staring at me on my wall of games but I really want to finish FF7 Rebirth first

Besides by the time I do get to it maybe hopefully they'll have put out a patch to help performance just a teeny bit or announced one

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's PS5 Graphics Enhanced, Here Are the Patch Notes

Judal27

I feel like the patch helped graphics mode more than performance lol. It looks sharper where I can now tell the difference between the 2 modes where as before it was pretty negligible. And i cant tell the difference at all between sharp and smooth in performance mode. Also for some reason the 30 fps in graphics mode doesn't give me as much of a headache as it did before. I've been playing it in graphics mode since the patch dropped and it's been fine

Might as well get used to it again if I'm gonna be playing through Dragons Dogma 2 😅

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's Acclaimed CCG Queen's Blood Could Get Expanded

Judal27

New opponents is one of my favorite things to look for when I go to a new town or region. But I feel like a lot of its rules are unnecessary and easy to abuse at least up to chapter 7

Most abilities especially the ones that reduce power, or destroy your own card to power up another, are kinda redundant and its mostly a game of who can fill in the board the most first. And if you start with a really good hand, it's almost impossible to lose. I do wonder how a match against an actual person would go though
