Stellar Blade reminds me of Sands of Time PS2 not Nier..hope for more games like this 10/10 not 8/10
No one cares.
If you find a Korean blow up doll attractive....

Just a friendly community reminder that if you're on a laptop/desktop, the period/comma keys move the video forward/backwards frame by frame.
That came in handy with 24:04
I just genuinely didn't know that was a feature!
Thanks for the info :)
Bruh
My man understands the real reasons the internet flourished.
Oh cool Australia didn’t ban this game
Even Auzzies loves booty
For what? It's the softest wankfest imaginable.
Which is shocking considering you go to prison for accidentally misgendering someone
Hahahahaha get your aus news from fox? You chuds have no fucken idea.
epic political comment
Same dev team that made Goddess of Victory: Nikke btw. Makes perfect sense as both games have amazing butts
Never heard of it
Yeah there's no if's, and's or Butt's about it. You can definitely see their expertise in this game.
Egg is my fav girl she is squishy
Case and point volume 😂
@@justaadhdgamerwesley6244 fellow elegg enjoyer detected
You know you have a great protagonist when everyone really wants to get behind her on her journey. I guess she's just really relatable considering so many people can really see themselves in her.
I see what you did there haha
@@KevinLeYeah there's no if's, and's or Butt's about it, she's a great protagonist that truly inspires a lot of clapping.
I would love to get behind her 😂😂
That's just your typical mobile gacha game Nikke players, they love to be taken from behind, so of course they find her relatable
I can't upvote because there are 69 likes already.
"Press square to overpower fish." We have achieved peak QTE.
I remember when Playboy and Penthouse had articles worth reading.
The post nut clarity was essential for fully understanding those articles.
Yes I recall after Bill Clinton's whole Lewinsky Scandal. I'll never forget the hustler cartoon that showed a tranny saying that he'd blow Bill but never tell.
My favorite part of this game is that the Plot really thickens early on.
I'd like to plow... I mean I like the plot
I paused the video more times than I'd like to admit
and some parts are getting harder and harder
Thicc-ens
The reason there's no mention of her appearance in game or anything like that, is because it never, ever was intended to be about that. The internet turned it into a giant culture war issues, on both sides. The director was asked about it in an interview and he was honest and just said he likes looking at attractive women. No stupid culture war message.
based and taropilled
Long lost brother of my boi Yoko Taro, absolutely based
Why would her appearance have played a role in the story other than she's hot?
It's almost as if when you're making an action game, what matters is the action and not the looks.
Just like Bayoneta and Nier
After all the slander this game has been going through recently it’s extremely satisfying to hear that it’s good and that people are enjoying it
It's not good. It's people coping and cooming
@@666slateran666 as a Sekiro enjoyed, it doth scratch an itch, and what if I am, in fact, rousing myself to it? Somehow I can Google the Bauldr's Gate 3 bear scene and that's ok but tight spandex and high heels are not?
Right rainbow fluid gushing is ok, straight one isn't.
Wtf is "cooming", Gen Z brat? lol @@666slateran666
@@Saint_Wolf_ haha funny bear sex scene haha. Very original comment. Bg3 is the ultimate fantasy game, you can also have sex with a mindflayer. Glad they let you do what you want. This is being propped up by the worst mind of people. Sorry I don't want to touch incel bait
There was 5000% more self victimizing whinging about imagined outrage than there was the most tepid criticism about the character design, with the majority of the latter only coming in response to the forced, fake enthusiasm and implication that having a womans defined arse in a game was breaking new ground. These conflicts are not real or organic, for your own sanity stop giving them oxygen.
It takes most ppl 20 - 25 hours to get through the game. It will take me around 75 hours, cause In this game I'll go up and down ladders a lot.
What a thrill...
I'll have the game paused on the suit selection screen a lot
Come on Guys 😂😂😂
Ah yes! The Pro Gamer move.
@@vladislavivanov2334 The darkness and silence through the night...
"Fully Modeled Thigh Fat"
You had my curiosity, but now you have my attention...
It must have been hard for the devs to make this game with one hand
must have been pretty hard for sure
RSI for sure... all those nights staying up hour after hour, straining, hammering away at their keyboards
What do you think how hard it is to do combos in the boss fights with just one hand ? Very HARD!😅
Yes... the plot & it's thought-provoking themes.
Haven't played it yet but if there previous games is any indication it actually will unironically
Drinking game: take a shot every time Gman uses the word "ass".
I actually don't think he says it once lol

@@Dorrajthat’s because he doesn’t say ass but ass
You won't take any shots, because he never says "ass," he says "arse."
Big butt, floating robot to accompany you, postapocalyptic world. This is Nearly Neir, at a glance. Or...uh...long stare.

And less style and substance.

It's a good plot. It's a very good plot.
Didn't expect you to do a review on this type of game! Love to see it.

He has to appeal to his fanbase lol. Never did a Dark Souls or DMC game review though.

That thumbnail got my hopes up for another Together BNB update. 😂
Plot size is interesting and beautiful.
Balance mode is the way to go. 60 FPS reconstructed to 4k like image.
This is the kind of game that, no matter the difficulty setting, you're always playing in HARD mode.
I'm just here for the hard R.
What?
@@accountwontlastlong1You know, Crimers.

There were two pieces of artwork placed on a wall by accident, which spelled "hard r" together.

The soundtrack is really good. Not many talk about it
Literally everyone is talking about the music lol
@@ftrunks2k"literally everyone" *checks this very comment section* yeah so thats a fucking lie.

The best soundtrack since Automata & I'd argue is as good as Automata
K... I am 11 minutes into the video and i am already fed up with Eve's constant "ha! Hiaaaa!!!"
Yeah i realised that she screamed like every minute in this video 😅
@RRM693 fyi it's only when you're doing them special moves that she does the "ha!". But still that happens quite a lot.
Was looking for this comment so see if it was only me noticing that. Man, it was really annoying after 10 minutes already 😅.
@Mr.Not.Perfect yeah it really is quite annoying. But still, I've heard it a lot less than expected. Don't have the game but racked up a few hours on the demo. During that time, it hasn't been all that noticeable, according to me.
That's a function of video editing: You are seeing the special move in a quick loop, according to everything i've seen it's not like that when you play.
This reminds me of a PS2 era game (in a good way)
we are so back
its so over.
Lily gives my Rebeca Chambers vibes. Protect her.
Can we use lily face, head & hair please
The fully modeled thigh fat warrants the $70 price tag alone...
My guess is why they didn’t include photo mode at launch is easily one thing:
Panty Shots.
Out of curiosity, did you play Lies of P?
Oh it has fishing, goty
Its just like Zelda and Sonic!!!!
Even from 5 years ago from the early trailer you can see how massive is the nier automata influence on this game and the creator said taxi driver protest as the main inspiration when the game near completed, always curious why koreans is very difficult on giving credits to japanese, especially on entertainment culture part, yoko taro is simply too generous, supportive and humble on the interview 🤣🤣🤣
Bro I’m liking this video before the first ad even ends and it starts. You’re always cracking me up so I know this will be a good one haha. My man
i legit love when i can play a super sexy female character that slaughter literall millions, proving you can be sexy af and still kick ass
I mean yeah but you can literally do that in almost every game that has character creation in it so I don't get why Eve's so special.
Stellar blade has gone through the absolute wringer online and yet every review is generally pretty positive. Can't wait to play
It's a real underdog story of a gacha backed company making a game for ps5.
Where? The only place I've seen the game mentioned before is youtube, and it was always during videos full of angry, angry white men with awful beards screeching about women being evil for not having sex with them.
its reception is catching up w/ Lies of P.
waiting for PC release hearing the 1st announced being crossplatform
It also hasn't been through the wringer.
Unless you mean "weirdos only care about this game to make it a political talking point" then yeah I'd say the internet has downright ABUSED this game.
The comment section hasn't even talked about the game because all anyone cares about is the jiggle physics.
@@xacmashe3852 The best part is that side is eating itself alive since some of the outfits show less skin so the game has been sullied.
It's fuckin' hilarious
The climbing and swimming is reminding me of Tomb Raider a lot
very big and thick plot
21:26 glad they painted those rocks yellow 🙄
I did not expect Gman coverage of this. Rad
Why shouldnt he?
@@spaceman2517 I don't recall him reviewing any other soulsbourne games. Definitely not a console exclusive one.
Either way glad he did cause he had some good input and I've been very on the fence about it.
@CaptJABRONIE because the game is more like an action RPG game with XP upgrade system rather than soul like game
See you in two years when they release this on steam. Or 15 when we can emulate a ps5 lmao.
Yep Rather wait until the PC version comes out, over buying a 500$ console for 1 game, and then mod it to where the pacing is faster and the enemies are less spongy.
Was expecting an arcady Devil May Cry type gameplay let alone Nier Automata and Onechanbara Z2 chaos/origin, not this slow movie game pacing, Sony has been doing with their games.
@@SuperStraight_LGBTQ yeah of course that'll be the first mods to come out for this game 😂
@@fatih.tavukcu
That's faster than nude mods. Who said "I" wouldn't be making it?
I have a ps5 and a pc rig and I'm still hesitant. Ps5 is so underpowered, 70 bucks for a console experince, barely hitting 60 fps, with the equivalent of low graphics... it's a hard sell
was supposed to be on pc (1st announcement) until it was published by Sony
From your review and watching someone play the demo on Twitch, its almost as if the attractive female protagonist isnt the most interesting part of the game. Its almost as if the devs made a game thats worth playing...damn. Thats craaaaazyyyy.
It's as if people wanted a good-looking character, good gameplay and interesting story.
Gee, I wonder if that has ever been done before, and helped making the gaming industry become what it is nowadays, before braindead activists took over like they did in Hollywood ?
Seeing the girl fight in such outfits gives dead or alive vibes 😂
Ah! A man of culture!
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Wish gman was my son, so i can ask him if he is winning.
Your cuts are supreme, Gman. 👌
Yooo I love the rush hour edits you rock
Good gameplay and eye candy is all i need
How women look in video games seems to be a touchy subject at the moment. I can see the argument for both sides. I see why some people are really rallying behind having less conventionally attractive or "realistic" characters in their media. Personally, as a woman, I don't see the benefit of self-inserting *all* of the time, and there's no need to erase attractive-looking characters just to make us normies feel better. Sometimes I want to play a video game as a beautiful, 9ft tall leggy supermodel with huge bazongas.
There are some really amazing female character designs that can also be sexy. Look at Bayonetta. She is absolutely badass. I did genuinely buy a lot of games purely based on how the character looked back in the day, including Bullet Witch and Bloodrayne. Or chose my favourite fighters like Ivy from Soul Calibur and Sindel from Mortal Kombat
great game. Loved it so much. Also, I really enjoyed playing it with Korean Voice over which was also in trailers for first few years. It seems like an original intended language.
I didn't get the "story drags on and never ends" at all. It is clear when you are at the ending.
Excellent observations!
I did kind of get the feeling as I just watched playthrough after playthrough that it will get very grindy and same over and over there.
Glad you confirmed that thought for me. :)
Kinda a shame there's no reaction like how 2B reacts if you lower the camera or how Kaine straight up kills you if you look too many times.
This is some japanese shit... no need for that here and that game is kind of meta so it makes sense to be like that.
@@ArlindoBuriti the game being self aware is half the charm of Nier series. Maybe have the character say something with the choices of clothing you pick
"this feels warm"
"Ain't this too cold"
"It'll be easier to move but it's embarassing"
Just something to give an illusion that there's a character there.
Thats why nier is the best
@@hrgaming4plebs570no
that would require the protagonist to have a personality.
This review lands in my "plot" folder 😎😎
Cant wait for Haydee 3 and to see how the internet implodes.
Hopefully there is a PC release, I think this looks great. Awesome for a Korean made game to get this attention so shoutout to the devs.
Also worth noting when some journos got weird about about the protag, I thought to myself "She looks like a (normal yet attractive ) Korean woman" and go figure they modeled her after one lol. Plus they walk a good line it seems for fan service, pushing a badass woman lead, and not going overboard where her chest shakes halfway across the screen every scene change. Its hard cuz games where theres zero body liquidity also make females look super weird, especially in more modern graphics engines/otherwise realistic depictions. Like their body is made of stone or they have weird shaped pecs lmao.
Anyway, great vid and shout out to Shift Up.
Fr. I can contest that I also perceive every Korean woman that I've ever seen to look exactly like the game's protag. This is very normal, and jiggle physics should be a larger priority -- my wife's boyfriend also agrees.
I wonder if in THIS Zion they have a giant rave 😅
Hu
HAAAAAAAAH!
Just wish she had more audio lines during combat. I can hear her shouting in my sleep
Never change G-Man. Love your content.
Nice review mate
The game is so good, I can't wait to play it tonight
2:20 Lily? So it Adam, Eve and Lili(th)?
Yeah. The game does reference Christian religion to a degree.
@@omarkumar8036Lilith is from Hebrew tradition, not Christian
@@Devin7Eleven Sorry. My bad. I haven't have much knowledge on other religions.
Like a legend once said "A man's blood is allowed to flow to one of these at a time, be in your brain or be in your joystick. You aren't meant to use both at the same time."
Hey man love your stuff as always but I was wondering what are your thoughts about the devil may cry games????
I've only ever beaten DMC1 & 3. I enjoyed both games.
Never pre-ordered a game so fast in my life.
My question now is...Whose ass broke the internet harder? Eve's or 2B's?
Nier automata didn't get nearly as much hype. It's my favorite game ever, but the nonstop coverage of stellar blade has been insane. 2booty twerked so eve could jiggle
Probably Eve. It was more in your face. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
my question is ...when is the collab?
@@Mondoness Shift-up did a collab on one of their games (Nikke) with Nier Automata and 2B became a character there, kind of close.
I can't remember 2B being that controversial and it also helped that Nier was SSS tier while Stelar is above average
Hello are the levels connected to each other as a single world or do you select levels or missions through a menu
This will be on other platforms in the future, please?
So it basically Waifu Sekiro.
Me: mom I want to play bayonetta
Mom: we have bayonetta at home
Bayonetta at home: this
Bayonetta but with a blowup doll instead of Bayonetta.
When even a cosplay outfit is to expensive.
My great grand father Pete J Cummings always told me "Sex Sells"
Great review and work as always mate. I absolutely love the Tourettes Guy sounds sprinkled through the video, too!
im glad the game is good. i really hope it gets more people to play nier automata
You mean Ninja Gaiden like since the original came far before dark souls, it was on the OG Xbox and pioneered the dodge/ block and counter attack mechanics.
Not really, you rarely need to block and you'll never need to counter in Ninja Gaiden, dodging is the one thing that's important.
@@Just4Fun-Zocker I own the original game and play it time to time, you are highly encouraged to counter because it can instantly kill tough enemies.
Ty for this
This will have an ultra good plot
this is so weird that people say that this is the first game with an attractive protagonist...final fantasy exists?? and like many more games, people are forgetting multiple decades of games with hot protagionsts
I've seen no one say that.
I have to ask ... is Lili's full name "Lilith" ???
Liliweiss?
@@Area_GnC ???
Adam + Eve (-) Lilith
@@mohamedfaroukelewa5905 It's a character from another one of ShiftUp's game. The player's call her Lilith.... so... the misunderstanding.
@@Area_GnC okay , cool
now google the name "Lilith" with the name "Adam" in a Biblical way ... and get ready say : Eve shouldn't leave them alone & go adventuring
Woah that’s some artwork😮
8:22 that reference caught me by surprise and brought me to tears 😂
that 'HAAAAA' shout every 3 moves tho xD Calm down gurl
I do hope this game eventually gets ported to other platforms.
I am huge fan of hack n slash games.
I could see it being ported to PC at some point, what with the other PlayStation games that have been ported to PC
But, this is not a hack n slash tho...
Amazing Video GmanLives.
7:54 Yes, I would explore that vast, open wasteland any day.
This video scream skill issue 😂😂
This is a dress up game with great combat.
Basically this
Lmao that Austin powers cut with the camera got me. Never change
I hope they make a PC port of this game. Badass attractive female protag, South Korean at that, action game with RPG stuff, great visuals, its right up my alley. Plus while they have fan service it isnt weird over the top like some games imo. As soon as I saw a couple other nameless journos complaining about her design i thought "She looks like a normal yet attractive South Korea woman" and turns out lol. Idk i think its positive to have the representation both of Korea and women, shes a bad ass and they didnt make her chest bounce across half the screen every scene change which is a plus lol. (Tho games theyve tried to remove any body liquidity altogether also look super weird with females too)
Shoutout to the devs for having a mainstream game from Korea get this kind of attention for sure.
Gman: says the combat is a lot more Dark Souls than Devil May Cry. Proceeds to describe the basics of Sekiro combat.
Ya I noticed the thigh pudge last night and whoever was in that meeting and was like, 'ya know when you wear boots like that it actually makes your thighs pudge out a bit.."
We thank you for your hard work and dedication to your craft.
FR tho this game is awesome. Very much feels like it came from 2003 in all the best ways!
Yaaayyy new upload
Just wanting to know if you can play it with one hand.
Till this day I’m still waiting for a Helldivers 2 review.
It's fun for a day then dull as dishwater. Done.
I'm still waiting for his Metal Hellsinger review.
@@MorrisseyMuse You can just admit you don't like co-op horde shooters and move on. As someone who's played Vermintide, Darktide, Left 4 Dead 2, World War Z, Helldivers 2, Deep Rock Galactic, Killing Floor 2, Zombie Army, a bunch of CoD Nazi Zombies, Payday 2, and plenty more, there's a lot of good fun and decent skilled nuance to be had in Helldivers, especially compared to a few of the options I listed out.

Stellar Blade: We Have The Surge and Nier Automata at Home
Ah The Surge, still my favourite Souls-like. I hope they make a third one sometime.
Nier meets any Souls game
@@kyotheman69 Mainly The Surge though. It "borrows" a ton of elements from that game the most. And by borrows, I mean steals.

What I learned by your video as well is that Eve only haves like two screams she repeats constantly out of her lungs during fights
Here's hoping it gets a Steam release in a few years.
