That one you get it in NG+ since it alt color of this outfit….Started NG+ to see and the outfit I was speaking is not really an outfit seems like. I was thinking I would unlock it.
AlsoDanjin44 you once post a screen with an outfit and I said it gives Ky Kiske vibe. Which one was it ? I didn't unlock it.

You had a 50% chance of this happening. If you make the wrong choice, you are then forced to play the game two more times if you are dedicated to seeing all the endings.

That's not even the thickest she can be. She seems to have slightly different models depending on the outfit and some are thicker than others and others have bigger and smaller chests tooThick thighs do save lives

You are verified insane if you buy random indie games over this. This is a true GOTY. It's a definitive PS5 game like Returnal or Demons' Souls.

I swear this game has a ladder problem. There’s that one ladder you can’t reach when you’re inside digger’s factory (managed to cheese it) and there’s another one on top of a building where you have to use a school bus as a platform.
I can’t reach the fucking ladder; been stuck for a good 5 minutes.
Any advice?

Digger’s ladder needs double jump or if you didn’t have it yet, jump and press triangle for a jump attack, the jump attack allows early access.
The ladder you’re pointing to with the bus is the exit and you aren’t supposed to climb up that way.

Some of the ladders aren't meant to be accessible because yes they are exits, look around for another way up. The Great Desert has multiple ladders like that.
Inside the Buried Ruins, there are neon signs with big glowing arrows pointing at the ladders are you are supposed to use...

Okay so, the Unidentified Natiba was definitely a step up in difficulty. I actually had to redo some of my gear and change my tactics a bit to get that one down. Oh, I did die fighting that multiple times, so I'm locked out of getting 2 endings now. They really need to patch this game to fix the structure of the last sequence so you literally don't need to play through the whole game 3 times to get all 3 endings if you die to the final 2 bosses.
Also, I clearly am the kind of person that video game tutorials are meant for, I died twice to the insta-kill attack before I realized I had to shoot the balls even though the game highlights the balls with a big ！symbol and even throws up a tutorial screen mid-fight that shows Eve shooting the balls

Difficulty spike at the end is real. Raven was a real pain in the ass. She's designed to basically be impossible to use the basic combo attacks you've been using all game. To defeat her you need to use your Beta and Burst skills effectively, which probably most people really weren't doing all that much up until this point on Normal difficult. Every previous boss, including the Unidentified Naytiba, gave you very generous windows to spam your basic combo. A very interesting, almost puzzle-like fight where your goal was to Perfect Parry and Perfect Dodge everything she threw at you and then use her brief windows when she finishes attack chains to blast her into the next galaxy with Beta and Burst skills.
1 last boss, and supposedly he's a fucking pain in the ass too. I can't wait to be done with this game.......so I can restart in NG+ and catch the last 3 fucking fish GOD FUCK THIS FISH SPAWN RNG

So did this end up actually being good? How does it stack up to DMCV in terms of combat variability?
Unknown Soldier

This game is fucking fantastic, especially considering it's the first console effort ever from this studio
The combat style is a hybrid Dark Souls May Cry type of thing, but the boss fights are pure Soulslike parry and dodge to open windows to counter
If you don't enjoy Soulsborne you won't enjoy this game. It's not like DMC at all when it counts, which is during the boss fights

Interesting thing I notice Raven also uses Blink and parry on you during the fight.

Alright well, done with the game and obtained the True Ending.
As expected, attempting to reload my final current game save does not give me the choice of the other ending. So in order to get the Platinum trophy, I need to play through the game 2 more times. One run can be pretty fast because I can ignore every side quest and rush the story since I actually need Lily Gauge less than 100%, but the other run will be annoying as shit if I choose to do it because that requires Lily Gauge to be 100% which means I have to do all the side quests again before proceeding to the final series of boss fights.
I don't know how much I really want to try and Platinum this, maybe I'll just wait for them to patch the game so getting the remaining endings is less fucking annoying. In the meantime, I can content myself with fishing a bit and then moving on to other games.

The ladder on Digger junkyard is to be reached once you unlock the double jump, just like many other things you cant reach untill u get it. The ladder above the bus is a way down not a way up. The way up as mentioned, is pointed by a purple neon sign close to that location.

you always had the choice between fighting elder and any other ending based on your Lily meter just by save scuming the final camp...
Unknown Soldier

Not if you die to the last boss. Then the game saves when you respawn and you are locked into the ending you chose

yes you do. You have to save scum before first time entering the fight

Notice that no one had to do this in Nier despite there being five different endings because the developer engineered the game properly (and it was actually fun to play through the changed scenes).
The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it seems for the devs to have the balls to tell me to “keep searching for the truth” when I literally completed the game 99% and just need to choose the other option in the final scene, forcing me to wade through an entire game’s worth of stuff that I have already done.
For future players’ sake, I’m hoping Stellar Blade is patched to add a time skip back to the decision point when doing a new game plus.

LOL it's American modern metal vs. bouncy techno K-pop, I should have guessed what someone on this American gaming forum would have preferredYeah no that’s not at all the sound I’m into

Belial's theme is pretty good tho, it reveals a fundamental understanding of what makes modern metal good
Raven's theme is great the way it opens with that musical swell and you think you're going to get something that's stereotypically orchestral epic and then it just suddenly transitions to that and the beat drops and you're fucking grooving while she's trying to carve you up with the same moves you've been using the whole game
The entire soundtrack of this game is arguably one of the Top 1 best video game soundtracks I've ever heard and I'm saying a lot here

They are planning a full soundtrack release for the summer, it's going to need to be like 6 CD's. The amount of music composed for this game is staggering

Dude my musical taste is all over the place. I listen to plenty of shit from other countries. Just because I’m not into that track has nothing to do with being American
Jesus really?

I'm only half game in (had to stop playing cos I'm changing TV) and so far the Gigas boss theme is my favorite. It's too epic to be that early in the game.

Seriously, I'm only like three hours into the game, but how is that really a spoiler? Who couldn't see that coming a mile away?
