If you check out the girl after which Eve is modeled, you will realize that Eve isnt even unrealistic.

I mean yeah i dont agree with the premise to begin with. Especially when we have characters like the fable peotagonist. That's not a realistic character. Most young woman are closer to margot robbie than they are to that characters. It is actually hard to find ugly people nowadays not that everyone is beautiful but in the western world where people have the luxury to take care of themselves? As long as you have an average-ish body weight, not homeless or an obvious heavy drug user i dont even remember the last time i looked at someone in their twenties and thought that person is ugly.

Its slowed down considerably the last few updates and just had its first (small) decrease. 183k is damn impressive.

 

[WaterOnix]

I'll definitely get this at some point. I was also pleasantly surprised at how performant the demo is.

If I didn't have responsibilities I'd be drunk as fuck celebrating this.

Full scale party over this.

Also I really want to go into a rant about AC Shadows right now for some reason but I won't because I'm scared of getting in trouble, lol. I want to be a sore winner and shit on AC Shadows but I'm not doing it.

 

[pudel]

Almost forgot about this shit lol

At least they apologized. Pretty honorable move.

I used to work with quite a few 20+ girls in the care industry. When it came to nights out or Christmas parties, none of them looked ugly

Where devs got this weirdo idea people, including females, want to play as ugly people is beyond me.

I just think there is a sub set of certain people that want to ugly up the world around them.

Ehh, IIRC it turned out the game's director had a hot wife who looks pretty similar to Eve and who also worked on the game, and they got tons of backlash about it. Then their parent company forced them to walk it back. I'm not going to give them much credit for that.

Every young girl working at mcdonalds looks 10x better than the fable protagonist. Not even close. At least here where minimum wage lets you live a normal life and hardly anyone is overweight, especially women.

Hope more like this will be released. Granted I have no hope for western devs, cucks and stuff.

Yeah I am pretty sure these activist clowns over there were not happy to write that down. But they did. Two years ago, they would have doubled down on this complete fact free accusations.

I think there's a pretty decent chance it sells better than on PS. It took 2 months for it to sell 1 million on PS5. With 173K CCUs on Steam before the weekend, 1 million in a week seems plausible.

I didn't think it would sell anywhere near as well, but what do I know?

Yep there's a good chance it's going to catch up or even surpass PS5's sales.

Stellar Blade on the PS5 sold over 2 million copies as of Feb of this year. So I'm guessing it's around 2.5 mil copies sold at most now on the PS5.

I think Stellar Blade on PC is already over 1 million sales in less than 24 hours so reaching pass 2 million even in a week seems possible. 2 million on the PS5 alone is already very good given it's low budget compared to other AAA games.

Overall when all is done, I can see Stellar Blade as a whole reaching around 5 million sale combining both PS5 and Steam sales within this year.

resetera opened another thread about steam ccu, and they're salty as fuck

Haven't checked them for awhile but went back just now as it's always a good laugh to see those nutjobs once in awhile and it's surprising that there's also actually a lot of Stellar Blade lovers in their first thread since they got two on it.

 

[rofif]

I actually tried to play Forspoken, as it was "free" on extra. I just couldn't. The continuous banter drove me insane.

How come? It's pretty fun.
And much less banter than in atomic heart for example which came out around same time.
But sure. Nobody forces you to play game you don't like.

 

[Holammer]

Needs the soundtrack.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Not counting Indie and only high budget ones. Russia made upcoming high budget games is half half so still count as a western game dev in a way lol.

Atomic Heart 2 and the Cube

If you check out the girl after which Eve is modeled, you will realize that Eve isnt even unrealistic.

I see girls at my local gym with way better bodies than Eve. The Soy-flakes just need to step into the real world every once in a while.

The be honest they would probably piss their pants if a hot girl caught them looking so they've trained themselves to never even glance at a hot woman.

Sony doesnt own the IP or the Studio.

They have a publishing deal with ShiftUp and obviously XDev will work with the developer because thats literally XDevs job, to help partners get games to meet "PlayStation quality".......says something about the higher up that Concord actually came out.

best-performing PlayStation Studios ?

First of all the game was announced for pc and xbox too
Project Eve was announced as multi-platform.

Second thing

Shift Up is not owned by Sony , it's not first party Studio.

Did you guys even read my following post? Using this same logic is like stating that Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake is not a Square Enix game because they don't own the IP or the developer. Will you also tell Microsoft that Ninja Gaiden 4 is not a Xbox Game Studios title, either?

Yes, but 'PlayStation Studios' doesn't really mean 'studios owned by Sony', it's the global division of SIE dedicated to oversee the production of SIE-published games all around the world.

 

[Alebrije]

Take Adam's hand....greatness await.

 

[Black_Stride]

best-performing PlayStation Studios release .. lol

Its a third party game, it doesn't matter who published the game because Shift Up is not owned by Sony

It really should say PlayStation Publishing as thats what Steam calls it.
But in game it just says "Published by Sony Interactive Entertainment" which is what Playstation Studios was called before the more focused rebrand, so I guess same shit right?

I know, read the post directly above this one.
Playstation Studios is just a rebrand, they still call it SIE in the game.


My post was directed at people think Sony owns anything other than the publishing rights, they dont own the studio or the IP.

So why did you even quote me if I never stated any of bolded?
And again, PlayStation Studios is an actual division that exists and worked on the game, therefore the title is totally correct:

Stellar Blade’s developer expects the PC version to sell better than the PS5 one | VGC

Shift Up estimates the PS5 version sold more than a million copies…

I think this guy's prophecy will come true

Aside from people that take Sony PC ports a bit too personally (like ProtoByte ), I don't think anyone doubted this when accounting for China sales.

Sony higher ups getting that data:

Sadly Sony has many blue haired leftist at the office blocking the transmission

 

[rofif]

Welcome pc gamers
I am not posting too many locations spoilers. The game is amazing...
So I am avoiding posting too many spoilers by just posting eve... you know... to avoid spoilers...
I promise the game got SO MUCH to offer than just booty lol.
I recommend the green starting suit or some techy suits for main campaign. At least not bikini lol.
AND DONT mod unlock everything. Do it yourself. It's super fun, the game is very addicting

 

[Novaex]

Most of all I hope these numbers will lead to a day 1 pc release of Stellar Blade 2

it could've sold up to 2 mil on ps5 but there is no real data

And Console Warriors say they don't want Sony to put exclusives on PC because it's destroying the brand and they are not selling. Yeah ok.

It is destroying the brand.

As for not selling, that is not synonymous with destroying the brand, and this is a non-Sony game, Spiderman 2 and Ragnarok were both duds on Steam.

spider man 2 and ragnarok are woke and bad.... gow 2018 was so much better.
Sony needs to pick up the slack and get back on the track

People say this and yet don't even bother in bringing up any receipts to back that up. You can't literally use console sales 5 years after the fact because it goes against your argument.
And Stellar Blade is a Sony game, stop with the mental gymnastics.

Microsoft torched their brand for some short term cash too and now look at what they are doing.

Console players that love console won't come to PC

The protag looks sexy but can't seem to ever pull the trigger on this game. Is the story or the exploration exceptional?

 

[rofif]

he is right. Sony releasing games on pc and not keeping exclusive tight shit is very bad for the brand.
Look how bad it was for xbox.
Of course he is right lol cmon.

And without that they will have less incentive to make great exclusives... which they dont fucking do anyway recently

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Never would have expected any late launch to do this much, reaching 180k is absolutely insane for a late release game. Don't think any late launch 1 year+ ever reached 100k. The pervious highest was 77k.

FFVII Rebirth had to do it's late launch with a sale and still only gotten 40k which is still consider alright I guess.

 

[rofif]

it is an exceptional game outside of protagonist.
The people are focusing on her and missing out a great game.
It almost works to detriment of the game.

I'm exactly speaking of long-term, we've spent 5 years after the fact without any sort of direct effect of it. Xbox One was already peaking on its 2nd fucking year on the market before they began porting games to PC, and most of the shortcomings afterwards have more to do with their incompetence in sales & and marketing biz outside of the US. That's exactly what killed the brand post-2016.

Gooner = someone addicted to sexual or sexualized content.

Thats like basically calling straight hetero healthy man a man, yes, we love sexy women, thats how nature made us, there is a reason porn business(including onlyfans) is booming, men love/want/need sex, all the fuckin time.

It's impossible to measure the effect until a new console comes out and people realize they dont need to buy it to play Sony games.

PS5 is also at best around flat compared to PS4 at this time so for all we know there is a direct effect. There are people on this board who say they dont need to get a PS5 when they can play the games, and increasingly, they are right.

In short, yes you are all wrong. Only Nintendo understands this.
