As for me @Mr.Vic20 and I have been playing so much of TFD that we are desensitized and no longer see the ass and we now just see the 1s and 0s. We have asscended! Oh for sure! But that's not exactly new to the gaming industry, yet Stellar Blade became the chosen one all the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm about to play now actually. FWIW, average review scores in aggregate skew down and don't really capture the most common rating something would get. (E.g., 9 could be the most common rating, but the average would still be lower). I often find a more useful metric to be the open critic percentile because it's a bit more interpretable than an average review score and immediately accounts for the different ranges different reviewers use. For that, Stellar Blade is sitting at the 86th percentile, which is quite good. As another example of why this percentile is more useful, consider that Astro Bot's average score is 95, but that places it in the 100th percentile! If you want to find that on open critic go to the game, all it's reviews, and then click on "View Review Charts." 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this case, they show you the sequence up front. So if you run into something like this again (whether it be in this game or otherwise) just look for how the sequence might be indicated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I was looking for a pattern on the walls etc completely lost lol. Even the drone gun you get is fun to use in combat. This game has really taken ne by surprise.

There are some puzzles in games where I literally just cycled through a few combination to find the right thing because the combination space isn't big. Going back a watching a video of this area, it looks like they guide you into that because you *have* to walk on the correct sequence to start. So pay attention to what works. In this case that's what they were trying to get you to do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 I think on the easy difficulty this game has the absolute ideal challenge for me. It usually takes me two tries to beat a boss and it's never frustrating. It's just a really well made game when it comes to combat. The story and characters in this are B level quality but I really enjoy my time with this game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a review I watched before playing this guy said to skip the side quests because they are awful and drag the game down... So yea I guess I'm going to beat this tomorrow. Oh well. Great action game for sure. Might be my favorite combat system ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final boss is hard too, but the penultimate one really made me work. After I beat them I went on youtube and watched someone effortlessly take them down with no hits, perfect parry and dodging everything and felt like a tool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a hard time, my tip is to equip stuff to build up whatever your special meter thing is (I can't remember the names now) and spam the shit out of it every chance you get. In particular, the forward stabby move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Posted Sunday at 04:46 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:46 PM I honestly have to question my skills. I mean I'm on story mode difficulty and this boss is absolutely destroying me! I'm utilizing my resources and I just can't beat it. I don't understand how anyone can find this fun? No game should punish you for wanting to see the end of the story. Either that or I'm single handily the worst gamer known to man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No game should punish you for wanting to see the end of the story. Either that or I'm single handily the worst gamer known to man. if you’re having trouble it probably means you’re not learning the patterns. It’s very easy in action games to go kinda mindless in attacking and get greedy in trying to get some hits in. Instead, every time you take damage ask yourself what you should have done in that moment before, and what were the tells that the enemy was going to do that attack before they did. In your next attempt, try focusing on just one of the things you did wrong before and making sure you do the right response this time. Don’t go in with the expectation of winning that fight but just doing one thing better. Some games have some bullshit reasons for taking damage like random unblockable moves, terrible camera angles, etc. This is not one of them though. You can in fact reliably play each boss perfectly if you learn what’s happening. The fun is the satisfaction in going from zero to hero and to make the enemy who foiled you so many times before pay.

Well I'll be honest I truthfully didn't think I could beat the last boss. It took me over an hour and a half to beat him so what you're saying is true. It felt really great beating him.
