Support NeoGAF

[R6Rider]

When is the OT going up btw?

You'll have to ask M mortal about that.

 

[eNT1TY]

I say a cool 3 mil when all the dust settles.

 

[Lupin25]

6-8 mil.

Sony’s marketing is top-tier and they continuously capture these “lightning in a bottle” type moments.

They really are shifting the narrative right now by propping up great games, regardless of their nature (AA, tits&ass, “shitty GaaS”, etc.)

 

[Bernardougf]

I never buy games on launch anymore.. but if the perfomance mode is good and the game has no bugs... Im buying this one full price...

Based on the demo, the game looks and runs great in every mode

When is the OT going up btw?

By the 25th, but if I'm running late I'll be sure to get it up the morning of launch day.

 

[WitchHunter]

The package just arrived. Now I'll see how big are the back orifice monsters really are .

 

[MetalFreak]

I'm sure it will review badly in the usual places...

 

[Heisenberg007]

Man, that was tough to vote and type this message with one hand.

 

[Diddy X]

Will it ever come to PC?

 

[Cyberpunkd]

 

[Moonjt9]

Can’t wait for meltdowns no matter which way the reviews go. But the game looks good and I’ll be happy to support a Korean studio. Likely I’ll grab a physical Korean copy!

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Will it ever come to PC?

Eventually... yes.

[Filben]

I wonder if Wired will get their sex toy reviewer to review this one like they did with Hogwarts Legacy

I hate these kind of openings in articles. I also dislike how they cultural appropriated 'Yikes' from my guy Guybrush Threepwood.

As far as the topics goes, I voted for 4 million. It's a new IP, PS5 only but will probably sell well for what audience it targets and what genre it belongs to.

 

[Auto_aim1]

This game is going to be destroyed by "journalists". If it runs well I will buy it to support the industry.

 

[Roufianos]

Man, that was tough to vote and type this message with one hand.

My deep gullet can aile that issue for you

I think 3m is realistic, games aren't selling too hotly at the moment, especially with the crazy release schedule we've had. I'm still playing FF Rebirth.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Will it ever come to PC?

100%

 

[kaizenkko]

Sony is pushing the marketing for this game really really hard, it's like a first-party level of marketing. I'm sure that the internal review for this games was 90+.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

 

[winjer]

I was expecting much worse, considering how politicized gaming journalists are today.

Wait, that's just what MC users predicted the game will get. Actual reviews drop in about 3 hours from now.

 

[swaffles23]

I have no idea what to expect with reviews. I thought Hogwarts Legacy would get hammered, but other than a few reviews its still is sitting in the mid 80s on metacritic.

 

[Madflavor]

Final prediction is 76 - 79, it won’t break into the 80s. Too many things working against the game. I also think that unless scores are really bad, reviews aren’t going to affect sales.

User reviews and scores will definitely be higher.

 

[KaiserBecks]

Not my type of game but I hope it does well. I’m not familiar with the Korean gaming scene but it would be nice if Stellar Blade inspired other local studios to go AAA.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Jim Sterling about to have an aneurysm

He has representation in the game tho.

 

[AJUMP23]

I hope this game does well. I am getting manor lords, but this looks good.

 

[Luipadre]

It begins... atleast it got a good score

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

It begins... atleast it got a good score

"Sexualization" - it definitely begins.

 

[TrippleA345]

It begins... atleast it got a good score

"Sexualization of the female characters - outfits break with the scenario" loooooool

 

[Luipadre]

"If you DIDN'T had faith, you were WRONG. STELLAR BLADE analysis"

Porbably another positive review

 

[GHG]

It begins... atleast it got a good score

"sexualisation" being a negative.

 

[adamsapple]

It begins... atleast it got a good score

"Pleasant K-Pop soundtrack"

 

[Zheph]

It begins... atleast it got a good score

I am not sure he knows what "k-pop" actually sounds like

lol at the first "negative"

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Yikes, y'all indeed. It's like the voices in its head, multiple personalities aligning to write stupid shit.

 

[SJRB]

If anything this will be a great litmus test to separate the soy activists from the actual reviewers.

Someone should aggerate all reviewers that dunk on this game because of "sexualization" so we know who to block.

 

[Chuck Berry]

This score sounds right. Anything above 85 would be shocking to me.

 

[Shadowstar39]

Was going to get this day 1, but after spending a grand on medical testing this week (with insurance, grrr..) going to have to pass, as Manor lords has been on my to buy list longer than this.
Will get eventually though.
Have fun everyone!

As for prediction, i predict 2mil , new ip and many won't know about it or are kids/teens into gaas instead of good single player games. Hopefully enough to make a small profit and then more sales after initial week/month.

 

[Punished Miku]

It's more American / rap influenced than J-pop.

I thought we already did that with Hogwarts

 

[Zheph]

It's more American / rap influenced than J-pop.

Obviously I am just judging by the demo and some of the songs available there and there and nothing sounded like K-pop.

 

[Punished Miku]

That's true, but then you have that bizarre dance video out there as well. Not sure what that's about. Possibly some end credits thing, or who even knows.

 

[Fake]

The problem with HL is the jornal media embrace the hate over J.K as well.

IDK if sites like CNN or NYT are even talking about this game.

The Reverse Flash effect makes this photo so goddamn funny to me.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

The Reverse Flash effect makes this photo so goddamn funny to me.

It's some Prestige Worldwide level shit

 

[Roman Empire]

It begins... atleast it got a good score

Sexualization of the female characters and Multiple assignment of buttons are a positive in my book.

 

[saintjules]

 

[Diseased Yak]

I'm screaming into my pillow.

 

[ssringo]

What was this? Showed as not found as soon as you posted so I'm guessing another early released review that got deleted.

 

[TGO]

Sony seems to be going all in on this with marketing also didn't know Shuhei Yoshida scooped it up as an exclusive.
Man needs to be made CEO of Playstation or at least Head of Playstation Studios.
