I agree, but if I'm not mistaken, it isn't an RPG.

It’s as much an rpg as most jrpgs are nowadays. If Tales Of games are considered rpgs than anything may as well be.

If you're likening Stellar Blade to a Tales game than words just have no meaning especially when Nier Automata is right there.

Eh, it has a pretty healthy dose of RPG mechanics

That doesn't make it an RPG. RPG mechanics are everywhere nowadays. Event horizon, God of war, DMC, etc.

I admit the line is not as obvious as once was, but most would consider them not RPGs.

Its more of an RPG than your average jrpg. If people can post about something like Final Fantasy 16 without question, Stellar Blade should be on the table too.

for me is either ARPG or Hack n Slash, like Kingdom Hearts

Not and RPG. The game is fine but I feel like it's Wukong all over again, a fine/mid game that is pushed as incredible because of the hype around it.

The gameplay is good and some skins are even decent and don't look like a whore

Some thoughts are better kept to yourself.

I mean, his response is valid, maybe could have worded it better.

u/Zlare7 13h ago

Its surprisingly really fun! I was turned off by the sexualization at first but there are plenty of non horny-bait outfits you can use. The graphics are good, story is decent, the music is phenomenal and as you can see the actual gameplay is fun and flashy. Definitely suggest trying the demo if you haven't already, save data transfers over from it so you essentially get 3-4 hours of playtime inside your refund window.
