i suggested everyone use the ff7r2 thread when that game was taking up every post per page here and my post was even mod edited to remove the link to that dedicated thread. apparently dedicated threads are bad  so why would anyone talking about stellar blade, a ps5 exclusive, not be allowed to do so in this thread?

Blind Rasputin posted:Stellar Blade is good. I have been reading Adrian Tchaikovsky’s (author of children of time series, really amazing series) Shards of Earth novel. It is basically an identical set up of an all female warrior caste. Anyone that takes issue with depiction of a female warrior caste and their battle dress must’ve skipped out on the Marvel Wonder Woman movie in 2017 or any of its sequels. I digress. I'm loving it. I suck rear end at souls likes, Dark Souls 3 and Elden Ring are the only ones I've finished by actual From Software, though I've also beaten Code Vein (heavy companion use obviously) So Stellar Blade lets me feel like I'm playing a half Sekiro, half DMC kinda thing where I don't have to try too many times on bosses, and I can consumable spend my way out, which to be fair I've only had to do once on one of the upgraded versions of a story boss.

RareAcumen posted:How close to God of War is it? Not really much at all, it's like Sekiro/Bloodborne meets NieR. It has a heaviness and is deliberate to a degree that's kind of all its own, but the influences are quite apparent. At the start it feels a bit rigid as it's teaching, you can then open up the skill trees in really any direction you want. I opted to go for double dashes and stuff that would make parrying easier right out of the gate. The game allows you to be quite mobile or hold your ground and tank attacks to a degree, kite enemies through hazards, use items, play block/parry heavy or perfect dodge heavy. There are numerous types of special dodges/counters for different situations. Bosses feel like DS3 style mobility-wise with parry mechanics emphasized, and there's quite a bit of enemy diversity. Some encounters feel like resource management with multiple enemies types and the 'estus' equivalent, others are one-on-on turbo aggro fights. There are FROM style level shortcuts and several types of bonfire. Level exploration has a lot of verticality, and secret spots are plentiful and require observation and occasional radar pinging. Like a Souls game there is no map, and fast travel is limited to a specific type of bonfire. There are some basic hacking minigames, swimming sections (no breath meter), you can reset skill trees, etc. On the aesthetic side the art direction is extremely strong, the soundtrack kicks rear end in both quiet 'pretty' moments with jazz or k-pop lite gibberish vocals and in the crunchy boss moments where it can lean hard on metal and noisy industrial. There are a ton of costumes to choose from and the focus on fluidity of character animation is worth noting. The story doesn't rewrite the book but the ambiance and vibes are fantastic. Can't speak for the localization because I'm playing in Korean which sounds good to me, but the accessibility options are quite good and performance on 'balanced' mode is well optimized. Biggest downside so far is no controller remap, I had to hard-swap buttons using the Edge. Overall a great exclusive game, and a refreshing take on the genre even if it is a huge love letter to the NieR series which will probably always overshadow it.

You can talk about stellar blade here or a dedicated thread. There is no reason not to talk about games you can play on the PS5 in the PS5 thread when there are so many games you can play. A dedicated thread is also fine for more detail but this is a catch all thread and that is fine. Not sure why someone edited your link out though, Shoogs.

RareAcumen posted:How close to God of War is it? It's kind of like a mishmash of every character action game released in the last 10 years. You have perfect parries, witch time counters, posture breaks, hit L3+R3 for devil trigger etc. It will all seem familiar if you've played God of War but it owes a lot more to DMC or Nioh. You can get by just button mashing and panic rolling but there's every incentive in the world to parry.

The blink abilities feel so drat good to pull off, and in general the game does a really good job of forcing do-or-die risky aggression scenarios.

Rinkles posted:It’s still alive? What model is it? FAT model (60Gb), it's the very first european model that still has the slots for PS1/2 memory cards. Univbee iirc told me it is a software backcompat. A coworker gave this one to me for free back in 2020 during the lockdown and I cleaned it up, slapped new thermal paste, swapped the HDD with a 1Tb and installed CFW. Thinking on getting a better (and quieter) CPU fan. My only regret was using a normal (modern at least) 1Tb spinny drive instead of a SSD even if the console would barely take advantage of that.

Lots and lots of ps3 still willing to be played You don't see FAT models in the wild in here anymore because most people keep them for the card slots. Slims and superslims are plenty and cheap considering Spain even in the 7th generation, Playstation had over 80% of the market.

Sakurazuka posted:My launch BC model got the yellow light of death years ago ;_; Hell, along with a better fan for my FAT, I may even end getting a cheap PS3 slim, do the same cleaning, slap a new HDD (this time a cheap SSD), and place it at my missus along with my PS4. I'm right now working through Killzone 2 and after that, Resistance 2. I want to play a good bunch of exclusives that I never got to try back in the days because I was busy getting screamed by kids in CoD4/MW2/Blops in XboxLive

Been sitting in a drawer in my aunts house for a long time now Mine has the PS1/PS2 card reader, 4 USB slots and silver panel where you put the disc so software backwards compatible.

The most expensive ones were Killzone (PS2) that I beat before using CFW and Demon's Souls that is actually a sealed reprint but since I own the digital version, is what I played and beat when I got the PS3.

the motorstorms emulate pretty well, if you have a decent pc. apocalypse is bit more demanding, but you don't need a bleeding edge CPU to match the PS3's 30fps (and the GPU requirements are quite low).
