It took me around 66 hours to do every social link and get the best ending.
Thats not too bad. Its long but definitely shorter than P4 or 5.

@-GD-Xremind me again how long P3 Reload is? I figured that since I’m gonna be subbing to Gamepass again this month to play hellblade 2 I might as well play p3 as well.

So yeah as mentioned I finished Stellar Blade. Took me around 32 hours and that includes having done most of the side content
The game is really impressive in many ways. The setting is neat and even though it relies on many different sci fi tropes there's actually a good amount of decent storytelling and lore, at least by action game standards. This benefits the side quests as the side characters are decent and worth helping. The soundtrack is also filled with bangers, people who like Nier will really dig most of the tracks here.
In some ways the game does try to do too much though. There's a lot of platforming but it feels floaty and nowhere near as responsive as it should be. This wouldn't be too much of an issue if the fall damage was reasonable but I died a lot of times just from falling, especially when exploring the more open areas. Which also have issues in and of itself, as sabo mentioned they're filled with many of the same mobs of enemies scattered throughout, and there's no quick and efficient way to get around besides sprinting for long stretches at a time. The other problem with this is that when you aggro enemies they seem to follow you FOREVER. And when you're in this state you can't open any of the many crates with resources and items until you finish off the nearby enemies. So this results in a loop where you're often taking out a lot of enemies in an area just to open a crate.
The combat was definitely fun enough to sustain a lot of these encounters though. It does get repetitive because the core move set is limited and there's no additional weapons, and as I said in a previous post a lot of the skills you unlock aren't that interesting. But when you have those moments where you manage to parry or dodge multiple attacks in a row and then follow up with a counter, that stuff rarely got old especially during the many flashy boss battles (one of the game's highlights for sure).
Overall its really solid and the devs should be happy with the foundation they created. Its really just a couple of tweaks and additions away from being a truly great action RPG, and hopefully that potential will be realized in a sequel (which seems inevitable given the game's success).
8/10

worth playing when it hits $20?
I just finished it and am putting together a mini review -
On the final boss in Stellar Blade. Completely unreasonable fight difficulty wise. I don’t know why games recently have had such annoying final bosses.

it seems like it's a lot better on consoles now, but there are still some issues like "hitches". still, it's a vast improvement.
I’ll be playing on PC but I’m hoping that version is also better. -
Lords of The Fallen is Coming to Game Pass, It's Claimed - Insider Gaming (insider-gaming.com)
Good news if true. Been wanting to try this.

RIP my PC

Anyone play this? I remember playing the first one years ago and enjoying the gameplay loop.

Just picked it up, along with Hades (major sale - so double dipped), and grime ( @Twinblade recommended this one. Demo owned). Grime was also dirt cheap. All 3 games came out to $45. Downloading Dave The Diver and Fallout 4.
I was hoping you'd play some of the adventure games I mentioned next those are good choices tho.

Xbox is closer to PS4 in sales than anything else. Just let that sink in

i know i'm in the minority here, but i thought oblivion was borderline unplayable with the pop in. dark brotherhood was fun, though. my expectations for fallout 4 are pretty low lol.
Let me know when you start FO4 so I can start FO 76 at the same time and we can jointly complain about how shitty they are

Bethesda games always feel rushed even after years in development....im sure speeding up the dev timeline is going to have a positive effect....said no one ever

imagine 100 year old old ww2 survivors risking their lives to escape Russian Occupation. Imagine thinking that the righteous Russian army is doing anything but forcefully imposing themselves on people who want nothing to do with their shithole country. Imagine being so stupid so you still think a country with tens of thousands of Jews being led by a JEWISH PRESIDENT needs to be ‘denazified’. Anybody with a shred of common sense can see through the blatant lies, deceit, and hypocrisy. Unless you’re a Russian who’s been spoonfed so much propaganda from so many different angles you just assume everything you see and hear must be real. That’s the reality that aza and his fellow sheep experience on a daily basis. No will of their own, just an empty vessel to absorb the tsar’s nonsense.
it’s not even worth getting upset anymore. It’s just sad really. -

All of Ukraine will be denazified from the Nazi scum. Odessa and Kharkov will be free.
lol you are such a clown. If you represent the average Russian then that failed empire is truly screwed. -

-Combat has become literally nothing but spamming Beta and Burst skills.
-Normal attacks do minimal damage even with a highly upgraded sword and the only reason to use Normal attacks is to recharge Beta energy.
-All the Normal attack gear is useless so just equip Beta/Burst related gear.
-Parries are pointless because Perfect Dodge recharges Burst energy.
-Retribution system might as well not even exist.
-The "super" mode is underwhelming because it's damage output is pathetic even when you spam Skills. Its only use is the invincibility so you can tack on "free damage" for 10 seconds.
The combat in this game falls flat on its face once you reach late game LOL.
Lol the super mode does feel like a bit of an insult. When I used it the first time and realized I was barely whittling down enemies' HPs my first reaction was 'really?'

This really is getting out of hand. There is absolutely no point to remastering this game.
-
Exodus on the Ally getting over double the framerate compared to the Deck is insane. There's a few games like that which really make the most out of the hardware.
-
Cyberpunk with RT on the Ally looked unbelievable when I tried it.

I thought this was funny

Really? Its been ages but I think I spent 70-80 hours in P4. It was my first Persona though so that could be why it took me so long.
