Stettar Blade? Cancel this game, that is a typographical abomination.

At least with Fightingcowboy's review, he said "evading" is a very viable strategy in the game, for people who don't like parrying

Yeah there’s perfect dodge and skill points for double dodge ability and perfect dodge counter attacks

I find parrying easier than dodging in some situations. You’ll get down your own method, especially as you upgrade your skills.
From the demo I've found parrying much easier than dodging and I generally suck at parrying in games. I always tend to get the timing wrong, but in SB it felt a bit easier.
That's of course not answering your questions but maybe encourage you to give it try even in case dodging will turn out not as viable.

Been playing for the past 5 hours, the game is lit as fuck. God-tier combat, god-tier protagonist, god-tier soundtrack. I'm surprised at how much opportunity there is to explore each environment, much more than something like DMC/Bayo and the verticality is impressive too.
I'd put the parry system in the same category as Lies of P which is to say not that intuitive (I have the plat trophy), especially coming off Rise of the Ronin which was near perfect in this regard (I have the plat trophy). Other than that not much to criticize at this point, Nier composer putting that work in, at times if I closed my eyes I'd think it was Automata

In a way, we are all bigoted virgins who never touched a real woman...like Jim Sterling, the ones the far-left loves. They/them wished that, but no one does or intents to.

Perfect parry is much easier than perfect dodge in my opinion. I tend to struggle with "yellow" attacks, but I do quite well with (upgraded) parries.

My partner too, in red. And she can't parry my thrust attacks.My girlfriend has a lingerie set that's almost identical to the first 2 gifs. I think I'll be asking her to wear it again tonight.She can mount my Stellar Blade!!

that guy is an absolute joke, he’s been pushing for SBI and other DEI junk on Twitter for months, he even openly claims that they would have made Stellar Blade a better game
I hate all dei stuff but thats not what he is saying. He is saying that a better story would have made it a better game, not Sweet baby involvement.

Dude attributes DEI nonsense and SBi involvement to quality writing and has for months now. He doesn’t know a good story if it bit him in the ass.

Yeah, no doubt about it, even if I dont follow the guy, but thats not what he is saying on that tweet. He is saying that a better story would have made it a better game, not sweet baby's involvement, particularly.

Funny you mention Rise of the Ronin along with this game. I'm debating getting that or Stellar Blade. Would you say you're enjoying this one more than RoTR?Been playing for the past 5 hours, the game is lit as fuck. God-tier combat, god-tier protagonist, god-tier soundtrack.

Yea and the training mode helps quite a bit with nailing down the parry too.
What's funny is that some of the posters on the Stellar Blade thread actually expressed enthusiasm for the game and are going to buy it themselves. I would've liked to seen him brow beat them to see if he'd have gotten banned.

So much attention to this generic, 6, Bayonetta rip off...
That's quite a collection of driveby posts you have there including before the game even released.
You're a strange soul.

It might be more nuanced than that.
The way he writes tells me he might be a fellow Spaniard, which would make sense because my country is rich in this sub-human species featuring hatred for Sony, posturing love for Nintendo (Their first Nintendo was Switch. Bayonetta is just their last fashionable item). Everything he says fits in the narrative of local reviewers/YouTubers. They call this game "Plagionetta" despite having no resemblance to Bayo.
Verdict: unhinged.

He's not wrong though.
This game might be polished and pretty, but it doesn't bring anything other games (DMC, Bayo, Nier) haven't already done much better to the table.

lol what? The surge? It's the first PS5 game I've played since Demon Souls Remake that actually feels next-gen. The ocean waves look amazing.
