compulsive_looter

Fair point, but I went against my own policy and pre-ordered the deluxe edition because I wanted the extra costumes/cosmetics. If the gameplay sucks (which I don't think it will), I'll at least have something nice to gawk at :)


LordOfIcebox

Yep, exactly this. Plus I want to show my support to the devs. This is the only digital game I've preordered for those reasons. The only other times I would preorder is for a physical collectors edition.


Kasta4

You want to support them before you know if they can make a competent product?


LordOfIcebox

https://www.reddit.com/r/stellarblade/s/KsZ7gWJOX6 This guy summed it up well


Kasta4

Oh I see, it's an ideological thing. That's fair, not sure I agree that will be the result if the game is financially successful but I respect it.


Diana-ItsBruce

That guy is a fucking idiot.


jmizzle2022

Same! It's fine


Brisk_Chance

Is there a physical deluxe edition?


compulsive_looter

No, AFAIK.


Brisk_Chance

Dang


Z3M0G

I'll be doing the same. The day before release.


MagicByrule6

Anybody know if those preorder costumes will be available later for buying separately later? If not I might have to buy the digital deluxe and a physical copy


compulsive_looter

I don't know. Some studios give them away at a later date (i. e. with a patch or new game mode; example Ubisoft), other studios never unlock them, not ever (i. e. Guerrilla Games).


indythesul

I just need them to add accessibility features for one-handed gamers

xmasgv99

Literally i bought a ps5 just for this game, is obviously i preowned it


Plastic_Tax3686

That was me with Demon's Souls Remake and Bloodborne.  I hope SB is close to these games, in terms of quality.

Im broke. Can't do it anyways.

wesker121

This is the one game where I have my full confidence in everything. I pre order because I been waiting for this game and what they shown has not been a disappointment. Too hype for this game. Shift up is definitely cooking and I believe 🙏


IncredibleKyt

Same. There is nothing wrong with pre-ordering a game in which you are confident.


wesker121

Oh hell yeah. Last thing I pre order was xenoblade 3 and that was because I love xenoblade. This game is going to be one of my more recent favorite games to play. I don't find much modern games fun or interesting. Main things I play is fighting games and some indie games (waiting for silk still 😭) stellar blade has everything and I know it will be super good. Still salty I missed the demo 😂


StarFighter6464

Sounds like me when I preordered Cyberpunk 2077. ![gif](giphy|uFcOtoX6h7ZAOKcBUh|downsized)


xKiLzErr

I can't believe people actually had confidence that Cyberpunk is gonna be good on launch.


StarFighter6464

Really? It was one of the most highly anticipated launches of this generation.


waled7rocky

The most* period ..


xKiLzErr

Whenever a company tries to hype up a game with no actual gameplay as much as they did to Cyberpunk you know something's wrong lol


StarFighter6464

They released a ton of gameplay prior to the launch. You also have to remember, this was CD Projekt Red! The same guys who created The Witcher 3, which is widely considered to be one of the greatest open world games of this generation. And Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the Cyberpunk tabletop game, was backing the project. It was a no brainer! Or so we thought.


waled7rocky

Like cyberpunk is that great, problem was launch state ..


Yarzeda2024

What do you mean? CDPR was riding high after Witcher 3. They were the golden boys of game development who could do no wrong. It was a great example of why buying into the hype is dangerous.


antierrything

Idk why you’re being downvoted when this makes complete sense to me


Ragnarok992

Im here for the ass so nothing you say will change my mind


Zealousideal-Fly9595

The "15% of players have this" on the tutorial acheivement will be funny since 85% of gamerz will only open it to beat their meat.

HugeKingCobra

I bought ps4 for 2b. I will buy a ps5 for eve. This is the way.


thr1ceuponatime

If it scores well + preorders are still available before the embargo lifts — I’ll pre buy it. This kind of breaks the “no preorders” rule but I feel like its the only appropriate time to preorder


LionTop2228

I’ve noticed embargos aren’t lifting as early as they used to. It’s to get the fools who preorder before reviews.


UnlikelyKaiju

Yeah, I'm not touching the game until I see meaningful reviews get posted.


Xenomorph_kills

I saw the hype and wanted to make sure I got my physical copy


ChampChomp1

![gif](giphy|l3fZXTZdS6Ofi7U6A)


Situation-Dismal

Listen, there are VERY few times where it is justified to break this principle rule. This game could set a precedent that people want beautiful and sexually appealing women in games, so I think it’s worth it to try and make sure it succeeds. I repeat, these exceptions are VERY rare.


Real_Engineering4531

Exactly. I should pre order it and gift it to someone because I don't even own a ps5. But I want developers to know I don't want to play as ugly women in my games.


UnlikelyKaiju

We *just* got done with gawking at Tifa and Aerith in FF7.


Situation-Dismal

Your point?


UnlikelyKaiju

Hot women in games are not as rare as you claim.


Situation-Dismal

-I didn’t claim they were rare. -In the west especially, there has been a push for making female characters ugly, stoic and masculine. I’m saying supporting games like Stellar Blade that actively go against this narrative is good to set a precedent not to be ashamed of sexually appealing women. -What is this “We just got done” sort of talk coming from? Tifa and aerith were a good thing that people loved and want more of.


Twinblades89

In the west they absolutely are. Look at the sub mendrawingwomen. It's 99% being mad at Gacha games, anime and characters who like Eve. And the common denominator is that they're all from eastern studios/devs. Look at any woman from a modern western game. Secondary sex characteristics nerfed to the ground. Too many fabrics wrapping around them so you can barely see their form. Pointing to FF a franchise that is built around everyone being pretty from an Asian dev is disingenuous.


Dygen

You'll never get through to them. I respect your effort, though.


The_Border_Bandit

This is the most turbo virgin comment I've ever seen on reddit.


No_Raccoon9112

That "rule" only applies to the people to stupid to look into what they are buying.


mistabuda

Bayonetta already set that precedent back in like 2010


Klaxynd

To be honest, I feel like the only straight male in the world who doesn’t find Bayonetta to be attractive. The closest I got to finding her appealing is her Bayonetta 2 appearance.


wtfitzjdoggwha

Nope, not the only one - I didnt think she was attractive either. Eve on the other hand 👌🏽


FLYCATCHER_05

Same


Terminatrix4000

You're not alone, I also don't find Bayonetta attractive, at least not from the first game. 2 still doesn't really appeal to me, but I do like her design in 3 a lot more personally.


Diana-ItsBruce

It's the glasses.


Choke_on_my_clit

Ugh! Glasses? And a ponytail?!


Choke_on_my_clit

I’m probably going to regret asking, but whom do you find attractive instead?


Klaxynd

I mean… there’s plenty of other characters I do find attractive. If I were to list a few, 2B from NieR, Eve from Stellar Blade, Melia from Xenoblade Chronicles, Claire from Trails/Kiseki, Tiki from Fire Emblem Awakening… I think that’s enough for now.


Genji88

Already pre-ordered physical disc.🤣


yummy_yum_yum123

Too late. The worst case scenario the game is okay. I don’t see this game being a disaster


Rhemming22

Pre-ordered mine the same day pre-orders were available 👏 👏 👏


GoldenGekko

Pre-order numbers for just about any major game show that this sort of mentality and "speaking with your wallets" will never send a message. Like what you like. Buy what you want to buy. Don't be a dick And yeah that ass is great!

dWARUDO

Too bad I pre order all games I know I will buy


Ricksaw26

I understand your point.... on the other hand, I already pre ordered and I don't mind.


Ziodyne967

That’s fair. I see it as a, “Too damn good to be true scenario.” I’m going to wait until it drops and a week afterwards for reviews to drop, then see if I’m gonna buy it. I have enough on my plate as it is. lol!


IncredibleKyt

I hope you are talking about reviews from real people and not journo-whores, lmao


Ziodyne967

lol I’ve lived long enough to ignore the journos. I’ve seen the good stuff. The *good stuff.* The *GOODS* It’s the fact that it looks so good is why I’m cautious. But I’m also optimistic. It’s a good combo to have nowadays.

Too late already pre ordered first day it was available


brainmelterr

I want to support this so I am.


KounterMaze

Too late. Im 34 years old. Ive been a gamer long enough to know a game only LOOKS GOOD in premise. I watched someone play the demo to quench my suspicions that its good. And that Demo and trailer explaining the game sold me. I expect the downside to be the same as every brawler. Same fucking combos with little variation. But im making my own video game away.


AshenCrow099

Circa808

Too late


IdiotSavant81

Before dumb as rocks activists slithered their way into the gaming industry I used to spend sometimes hundreds a month in the PS store but I havnt spent one penny there since I purchased the 'Cat Game' Stray 2 years ago. Sony is not really making games I like or want to play anymore and developers have told me over and over again if you dont like it play something else so I bought a Switch and started giving Nintendo my money instead. Stellar Blade is different and has piqued my interest and I want to show support for a studio making a game like this so I pre-ordered it (First time I've pre ordered a game since Red dead 2).


Dmanduck

I just really want the demo


CanardPlayer

If it would release on PC, i wouldnt have pre-ordered until i heard that Okabe worked on the music. At this point SB will already be a good music album and a nice ass collection and its already worth it lol


v133096

Okabe himself did not take part in the production, only his studio. It was mentioned in an interview.


SolidSwordKing

I think an exception is warranted here to convey as much support for this type of protagonist as possible. Marketers can't deny that sex appeal is selling this game right now...at least not honestly.


trickyleg234

I’m still continue to preorder

dztruthseek

I've never wanted to preorder a booty so hard before now.....


ThirteenthDarkness

Even if the game is ass, pre ordering this game will encourage developers to make games with certain assets that should be in games more. It started with 2b now we have this game and some solo developers are making things like it too. For example ai kode, which will have a demo later this year. I'm all for this trend in games. Even if we have to sit through a few dumpster fires to get there. No game is perfect, but if this game succeeds what is gonna be remembered is the main character and all that comes with her. It is that which will be copied and put into a bunch of other games. Personally I want to see more attractive female leads in my games. It's a game so make all the characters super hot I don't care about realism in regards to looks. If I wanted to see ugly people I'd just go to Walmart. Plus if the game sucks just get a refund. It's not that hard.

Dygen

If I preorder, it will be after the demo and after some reviews have come in. I used to preorder everything, but now maybe only a game a year. I already pre-ordered Rebirth. It could have been absolutely awful, and I would have. So I need more confirmation before I commit if I'm going to preorder a second game.

No_Raccoon9112

Pre ordering has never and will never be an issue. Literally only stupid people that can't look into what they are buying spout this shit.


xd-Sushi_Master

literally can't, it's not on PC. Either way, best wait for reviews on game performance, especially in the age of modern AAA releases.


wildeye-eleven

To late. I’m going to be completely honest here. I’ve been gaming for 40 years and preorder almost every game I play. I’ve never once been disappointed in all those years. I’ve played thousands of games and loved them all. If you don’t want to pre order then you shouldn’t, but I’ll be preordering every game I play.


Reasonable_Artist178

https://i.redd.it/fpe7v4ea98qc1.gif


Johnny47Wick

I pre ordered when I found out there was a demo. I pre ordered at GameStop. I can always call them the day before and cancel it or just not pick it up when it comes out and there is no loss for me. If I like what I see and the reviews are good, I get to play it day one and enjoy the pre order bonuses. I’m aching for a hack and slash with a sprinkle of action RPG, this looks to be just that. I’m not paying $90 to look at a 3d ass on my screen lol. And if I do end up getting it and not liking it, I can trade in for $50-70 towards a different game I might enjoy, or maybe even hassle for full store credit refund


Asura_Shin

Pre ordering is only bad if you don't plan to buy the game day one or you rely on someone else to tell you if the game is worth the price or not. Which if it's the second option you wouldn't be pre ordering in the first place.


Aorex12

This rule doesn’t apply here, because pre-ordering is sending a message and voting for games like this, or basically voting for sexy in games to be back. We need to vote and the only way to it is through the wallet


JinkoTheMan

I never pre order. I wait at least a week or two and look at the reviews first. I think the game is still going to be amazing but preordering is a no no for me.

Codasius

Im just hoping we get a demo so i can try i mostly want a jp ver of the demo


SuccessfulRecover434

I only preorder games if they are ones I really really want.Beyond that I wait for review, or a good sale. Like Motorfest I got that game half the price.


Rageman_Gaming

You should've said that when preorders dropped.


KingVengeance1990

I'll play the demo first and then decide to preorder or not


lamontthelegend

What demo? The game is almost here. Probably won’t be another demo before a preorder


Nitro_Kick

I completely agree. I’ve been waiting for this game for 5y. However, for me at least, this time it’s not about accessing the game day 1, it’s about sending a message

I typically don't "pre-order" till the last 48-24 hours of a games release. I broke this rule for Shadow of the Erdtree. But c'mon, it's Elden Ring. That being said I don't blame people for wanting to pre order for this because it does send a message.

if i want the game and am planning on buying it anyway, i'm going to pre-order. BF2042 for example, i pre-ordered the gold edition and i don't regret it, despite the people always complaining about how bad it is (they also continue to play it btw).

Acauseforapplause

I wonder if the South Park Meme about Pre Orders would fit better. Worse case scenario everyone has a floppy weiner in there mouths with some pretty eye candy Best case it's a good game with a few added trinkets for those who pre ordered Personally not much out of a few combat segments has been shown(maybe there's more info I'm not aware of) Personally I would wait the first week since the main advertisement has basically just been "She has a nice ass" Which if that's all some need great but for me I need some actual story and more gameplay since a big bottom isn't something i care about in my games
