Stellar Blade X NieR: Automata: Yoko Taro and Hyung-Tae Kim on How Their Blockbusters Inspire One Another

[plufim]

Yep, looking at the responses to Suzi's tweets I can already see Stellar Blade discourse is going to be annoying for the next month or so.

Christ, I hope it's only just a month.

I would be legitimately shocked if Stellar Blade does anything more than come and go within a few weeks. Literally the only time I see it brought up is by either side wanting to discuss "the controversy"... or people making shallow comparisons to Nier Automata because "hot girl with sword". The game looks mid and I think most casual folk aren't interested enough to drop $70 USD on it. Will probably do okay-ish and then nobody will care because it didn't bomb or set the world on fire, so nobody actually invested in either thing happening will be satisfied.

Skins of Nier should happen in this game just like Naraka and Garvity Rush 2 and others.

TIL that people consider NierA's gameplay bad. Huh.

I don't think its got amazing gameplay. The character action stuff is serviceable but hindered by a lackluster open world and some rather uninteresting enemies to fight. In general I think the open world is lacking and just feels like a time killer running from place to place. The 2D ship shooter stuff got old fast as well.
