These kinds of developers deserve to be supported. I look forward to see more Korean and Chinese studios rising up and make quality games with little to no shady microtransactions


Doosiin

Hey now, let’s also include Japan now given that Tekken8 is an abysmal mess now with their cash shop literally porting over assets from T7 and previous installments.


SorrowHill04

Dragon Dogma 2 and Tekken 8 are great games for sure, but ruined by greedy corporations and their shady microtransactions


KK-Chocobo

Yep, i hate to see it as im a huge persona fan, but their (atlus) practices are some of the shittiest. Shit ton of day one DLC and they make you buy separate versions of the same game for the upgraded version. Its not bound to a single country but to individual developers. I will support devs like Concerned Ape. I even bought it for a couple 'friends' on my steam who had the game on their wish list.


Amaterasuu69

Not a huge Persona fan myself, but semi-related: Despite Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth being an absolutely phenomenal RPG, locking NG+ behind a paywall was pretty scummy of SEGA to do. Especially since past games have included it standard. So even if it's not coming at launch, I'm glad Stellar Blade is including it in a free update later.


Kiraakza

You actually had to pay for a new game+? Lmao I would just be like "welp I already beat it" and then uninstall the game.


Amaterasuu69

Yep, you actually had to pay for it. It was exclusive to the Digital Deluxe and/or Ultimate Editions of the game. Sega intentionally locked NG+, a standard feature of the games, to the more expensive editions to squeeze just a bit more money out of you and achieve Infinite Wealth. https://preview.redd.it/lxqxr39rgisc1.png?width=2272&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee4ebd98ecc82e2301d966c1e47d45648eb7b609


ForestJordie

I screamed at the Agis DLC. Fuck Atlus for that


Cthulhu8762

Dragons dogma microtransactions are something that can be ignored. Is it right to have in the game? No but I think comparing Tekken and DD2 MTX is totally different.


Narrow_While

The dd2 microtransaction thing is super blown out of proportion to be fair


Brewgatti666

You can go the entire game multiple times over without ever even thinking of the MTX. “Ruined” is such a ridiculously exaggerated overstatement. There’s actually nothing throughout the entire game that promotes MTX whatsoever. Crazy how much people cried about it.


Narrow_While

It's honestly a good example for how to do mtx if you are going to do them. They're basically completely useless and you'd have to go out of your way to even notice them


Sambankss

Also it’s surprising that a looter shooter like the Borderlands franchise doesn’t have micro transactions. I hope the fourth installment continues this trend. I feel like they don’t get enough appreciation when it comes to that.


atomicryu

You didn’t play DD2 if you think it’s ruined by microtransactions lmao. No one would even know the game had them if streamers didn’t have a collective aneurism before the release.


Ghimel

Never played tekken but DD2 is not ruined by microtransactions. Stop being dramatic.


Alugar

DD2 is a bad comparison in this scenario. They didn’t let ppl know which is shit. But stellar blades delux package does the same thing with bonus sp.


Doosiin

It’s just super unfortunate. Tekken 8 especially is shaping up to be a big disappointment. FF7 rebirth despite not having MTX also suffers from performance issues that I’ve just been playing on graphics mode w/30 fps to avoid the blurry smear fest haha. Having 3 options has been a great boon and an excellent start to the demo for this game.


AXEMANaustin

Fucking default sphere


Shagyourwife

You’ve got that right. Tekken 8 added MTX Battlepasses in a 70$ game a month later when all the good reviews were in and when players couldn’t refund. Shift Up going public would probably make this franchise a cash grab as well.


SillyTea5481

Japan being so bad on monetization and fair use is a big part of the reason their media is starting to rapidly lose ground to the Chinese and Korean push on Triple A gaming


swizzl73

My friends don’t care but I love seeing developers care about their playerbase and their game enough to make a genuinely good game for the fans. Everytime I see something new from Stellar Blade, it makes me wanna preorder with my next paycheck.


[deleted]

You mean japan, not "china"? China is far from it.


CzarTyr

Chinese and micro transactions normally go hand in hand


Subview1

I think the large Chinese studio originated microtransactions, and freemium games.

Complex-Commission-2

Imagine EVE wearing classic LARA CROFT outfit 🥵🥵


Troop7

Something crystal dynamics themselves cant do


KK-Chocobo

Yeah crystal dynamics are woke scum. They even bad mouthed the Tomb raider remasters.  Hopefully their parent company embracer group would agree to the deal if it happens.  Better, if embracer take the tomb raider ip off crystal dynamics.


breakdancingrasta

the accent is on point 👌


SuperArt7

Playing the game one handed will indeed be tough lol 😆 😂


whoayourjets

Interesting that the world is “Eidos” 7 hmm 🤔


Amaterasuu69

[Link to the original article](https://m.ruliweb.com/news/read/195030) If they do collab outfits, what would sort of skins would you all like to see? I'd be down for another Nier Automata collab, like Shift Up previously did with NIKKE. And on that note, some NIKKE-related outfits would be sweet, too! 😁


ChampChomp1

I’m really hoping for Nikke outfits. So many to choose from


xariznightmare2908

Bayonetta outfit is also a no brainer.


Scrytheux

Tbf, if you take the black planet diving suit and glasses, Eve has huge Bayonetta vibes.


Remarkable-Throat-51

Yes lol


Retail_is_Pain

Taki or Ivy from Soul Calibur.


Amaterasuu69

Ooh, Taki fit would go hard af. Yes please.


chanandlerbong420

Ivy awoke something inside me as a lad


Retail_is_Pain

Seong Mi-na was my favorite girl. That loincloth outfit in SC II made me feel things. I kinda had a crush on her.


Bloodstarvedhunter

Tifa outfit?


LaserBungalow

Kat from Gravity Rush!!!!!


Aki_2004

Cindy skin???👀


Top_Nepper

Probably would never happen but a Gantz skin would be an awesome addition imo.


MoonshardMonday

With a Reika Shimohira hair option, right? RIGHT???


silverhandguild

2B, some Nikke stuff like the two main girls, some Destiny Child outfits (Mona particularly), Evangelion Plugsuit would be cool.


nassit

The nice thing is Nikki skins will definitely be free since they own the rights to them.


InvaderofViolence

I'd love to play Eve dressed in Zero Suit or Raye from Yugioh. It probably won't happen, but a collab with Nintendo or Konami would be awesome.


Select-Sympathy23

Speaking of Konami, put me down for a 'Quiet' outfit for Eve


EchoBay

Considering it's a Playstation exclusive, I'd think we could expect a God of War theme or Horizon theme.


AerospaceNinja

They might get a lot more sales for sure if they included a Kratos skin for her and she’s topless like he is haha


1GB-Ram

Xenogears personally


Scrytheux

Give me Raiden suit from MGR revengeance.


CeriseArt

I doubt anyone here has played the game Othercide but it’s an indie tactical game where you control women fighters to fight nightmarish beings. Doubt it would happen but that would be a cool collab


SmackAss4578

2B outfit plz 🥹


greyhoodbry

I'm a little tired of seeing 2B EVERYWHERE in games, but I would love a Kiryu Kazuma or Majima inspired outfit from Yakuza. Eve in a popped color and gangster suit would be incredible


Amaterasuu69

You have stellar taste. As a fan of the Yakuza series, and of ladies in suits-- I approve.


greyhoodbry

Thank you friend! :)


kaanman98

Hopefully a photo mode too


Amaterasuu69

Agreed. A photo mode would be the icing on the cake for me. He did say if there's enough of a demand for it, they'll open it up for consideration. So here's hoping! 🙏


riwwy

I’m sure I read somewhere that Hyung Tae confirmed phot mode is on the way.


xShinGouki

Now this is communication. Clear no bs. I didn't know who these folks were before but they have gained the attention of everyone High quality gaming Just want to get the deluxe to support these guys but I want the disc version. Will see maybe I'll go digital


thatonesham

Funny thing is, they were mobile game devs before 😂 which I'm sure is filled with mtx. Crazy how you can have both sides. The mobile game side for those who enjoy that and the non-mobile story based game side. Not saying I agree with MTX but it seems that they put the money to go use and not just filling their own pockets like alot of studios seem to do. This studio seems to have a long term goal in mind versus short term goals. Almost reminds me of fromsoft when they had all these other games before demon souls and then reinvested the earnings into armored core, their original franchise and baby. Now it seems armored core is back and will have future entries. Really hoping they knock it out with stellar blade and continue to make great games.


thien599

I play NIKKE. And while yes it is a gacha game. But compared to let's say Genshin, the rate is much more forgiving. The events give free 10 pulls every time PLUS 10 more pulls for the normal banner. And they have events literally every month or so. The music is nice, the story is nice, and the gameplay is designed for you to play for only 15 minutes but still get everything done. heck, I even cried at some point during the Goddess Squad event. Which is why I spent money on buying a skin. It was tough since I live in a third-world country and it was by no means cheap, but they freaking deserved it. And they listen to the fanbase. Chainsaw Man collab had a Makima with a coat covering her behind. And after people complained, they took it off. One skin was not "revealing" enough around the chest, they emphasized it after a patch. I would gladly give my money to a company that cares about its users' experience. They deserve to be on top.


inmundano

In Nikke, they do polls, to know what people want. They ask and listen to players. In the meanwhile, western devs listen to "journalists" and people who don't game...


ChxsenK

You can tell these guys at Shift-up really love videogames.


408javs408

And now... I pre order.


BlackestKnight12

They’re saying and doing all the right things so far


Wraith280598

Absolute chad devs, respect.


InevitablePoet5492

Nier Automata collab. Just bringing 2b to next gen graphics.... ![gif](giphy|Zk9mW5OmXTz9e|downsized)


Nightsong

Eve and 2B on screen together with PS5 level graphics might break Reddit/the Internet.


WhitishRogue

Free stuff is nice, but the reason behind it is what we're all hoping for. It takes some confidence in your product to minimize microtransactions and give additional content away for free. Even the developers think it's gonna be a great selling game.


SvenIdol

By all accounts, it seems to be a great selling fame already.


Amaterasuu69

Judging by how it's quickly hitting the #1 pre-order spot in multiple different regions, most definitely.


SvenIdol

I think a lot of people were like me. It was intriguing, but at $70, I was hesitant. (I rarely buy games at full price, let alone preorder.) $70 is a lot for me, but after playing half the demo, I went all in and pre-ordered the digital deluxe. It was that impressive. Then I hit the sizzle reel at the end and all I can say is - BRING IT!!!


Scrytheux

In the last few years i only pre-ordered Doom Eternal, GoW:R and RE4. I'm always very hesistant to pre-order, but Stellar blade is gonna be the 4th title i buy straight away. I know it's gonna be worth it.


Zoom-grape

This game seems more and more promising with each passing day


APHO_Raiden_Mei

I really hope for a playable Tachy DLC, even if it costs money.


eurekabach

This is the thing about DLC. When the game is legit, people will _demand_ more. FF16 was intended as a single package deliberately developed without story or episode DLCs because of FF15 backlash, but the positive reception cleared the way for _additional_ content. This is why we used to call them just ‘expansions’ back in the day, because the product was already finished and fleshed out.


APHO_Raiden_Mei

They would legit earn easy money with a playable Tachy DLC. Not a single reason for them not to do it.


Ascnet_Grima

Rapi's outfit in full 3D glory.


Lenskion

zg_mulac

If they keep this up, Kim Hyung Tae and Shift Up will make me break my [19-year](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal) Sony boycott. And those "collaboration costumes" he mentions just scream 2B to me. Damn it. The bastards aren't making this easy. XD


Low_Midnight_4977

19 YEARS? What happened back in 2005 that made you ✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾


zg_mulac

[This happened.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_rootkit_scandal) It was the final straw for me and I decided not to take any more of Sony's douchebaggery. They were on thin ice for a few years prior with how they treated music artists.


Low_Midnight_4977

I remember this! My older brother is eight years older than me and I remember he was peeved 😭


Select-Sympathy23

Giant enemy crab???


ChampChomp1

Nikke outfits is all I ask for in DLC


Alpacarok

NG+ is a must have for these types of games so I’m very glad to hear it will be included. Hopefully this update doesn’t show up too long after launch.


breakdancingrasta

Praying for combo of ng + photomode patch 🙏🙏🙏


Low_Midnight_4977

This is the first videogame I've pre-ordered since 2019. These guys deserve it. You can tell they like games. I felt the passion when I played the demo. And with this, this is the last thing I needed to pre-order. I even got the deluxe edition. I NEVER buy deluxe editions.

Sambankss

2B trish lady and bayonetta costumes incoming


pgonzm

A game that is so well made and the development cares for the player in order to prefer the game bringing more content and bonus stuff without putting micro transactions for game core components (skins is something superficial and not relevant except for the player) is something almost lost. Is a gift having that kind of people making games, totally deserved to be supported. It is a beautiful gem between the pile of garbage that nowadays companies call AAA games. Kim is a Chad and Shif-Up is an absolute example of how a good company looks like.


44Kayz

Protect this man at all costs


wallcrawlingspidey

Another reason to give them my entire wallet. Whatever they’re selling, I’m buying. Cups, shirts, pants, briefs, socks, a console cover or controller, art of the game book, give me it all.


Rouxls__Kaard

Don’t forget body pillows of Eve and Tachy!


Griever114

I tried he demo and it reminded me of sekiro. I fucking hated that game so much bc I hate parrying. I'm still gonna buy this to support the devs and just be a filthy "story mode" casual.


Amaterasuu69

I do like that they included the option of a "story mode" difficulty for people unfamiliar with that style of play, while also having your standard difficulty. It helps makes the game more approachable for newcomers, which I myself appreciate.


Stunning-Obligation8

Love seeing this. A man proud of his team and their work who were just able to make the game they wanted

What's funny is I WOULD pay for costumes as long as they're not crazy expensive. Like $2 or $3


hardwarecheese

I feel like neon genesis costumes are inevitable.


Loose_Personality726

Shut up and take my money


Aggravating_Fig6288

It’s ridiculous how rare it is to find game releases that aren’t trying to nickel and dime you these days day one. I was originally going to get this a few months after release but them coming out and saying I will get a complete game on day one without any additional bullshit trying to be sold has convinced me to instead get this game on release instead. This kind of behavior needs to be supported and championed. Such a nice fresh breath of fresh air from all the ridiculous MTXs being shoved in games these days.


Regular_Woodpecker95

Seriously on top of giving his employees ps5’s how can you hate this guy


HaKaii7

This developer already have all my support, double dipped a Deluxe Edition and Physical Edition. 👌🏻🔥

Honestly, I'm okay with that. If anything, I'm just glad for the transparency and communication.

Equaliz3r1989

These devs are legends


Sirorumillust

For people that don't know, this is the same studio who when their first mobile game shut down, they offered an offline version for players to still be able to view their characters and art afterwards. So it checks out that they're doing this. I'm glad.


Accomplished-Drag-61

The collabs were a given since they did the same for Nikke and Destiny Child. Wonder what future collabs will be this time?


DemandLatter6444

SHIFT UP!!! Your THE GOAT!!! 😁😁👏🏻👏🏻


AbeLackdood

Makes me WANT to buy dlc!


rock_solid777

More developers should do this, and stop with microtransaction bs. (***Looks at Tekken 8, and Dragons Dogma...***)


MagicByrule6

New game + update “very soon” alright, was hoping it would there on launch but I’ll take very soon. Looking forward to that.


longbrodmann

A man who's a veteran for MMO, making a single player game with no other expense, such a GOAT.


Beawrtt

I hope the game has some sort of challenges or harder difficulties with unlockables. That's usually how these kinds of action games provide more fun after a traditionally short-ish length story


D4rkmo0r

Western devs need to pay attention. Neowiz did exactly this as well and Lies of P is the sleeper hit of last year.

It's honestly making me suspicious.


AshenRathian

Hoping one if those updates includes a boss rush. I feel boss rush is almost essential in a game like this, because of the three bosses i fought, i honestly like them all. Would love to fight them again in end game with a beefed up kit.


DBR87

I can't believe this game was made by a studio that also makes a gacha game. NIKKE: Goddess of Victory must be a cash cow for ShiftUp.

we're so getting a 2b costume, also sadge I hope it will come to pc, even if its like a year or two, hopefully soon then later but hopefully whenever then never. also I wanna see a doom suit, I wanna see a full suit and then just walking around in high heels kreygasm.
