Hello, welcome back to a new video. So
Segment details
0:00–0:01 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_0Stellar Blade has finally made its way to
Segment details
0:02–0:04 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_1the PC, and it's kind of boring, bland,
Segment details
0:04–0:07 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_2and disappointing. It is a game full of
Segment details
0:07–0:09 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_3slim hot women who do melee combat
Segment details
0:09–0:13 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_4with aliens, and you might think that
Segment details
0:13–0:14 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_5sounds pretty cool and everything, and
Segment details
0:15–0:16 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_6yeah, the women are pretty hot, but it's
Segment details
0:16–0:18 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_7just like the game has been designed by
Segment details
0:19–0:21 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_8horny teenage boys, and the kind of people
Segment details
0:21–0:23 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_9who enjoy this game are probably horny
Segment details
0:24–0:25 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_10teenage boys who have never seen a real
Segment details
0:26–0:27 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_11woman in their entire lives. So I've been
Segment details
0:27–0:29 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_12dating women for 15 to 16 years, and trust
Segment details
0:29–0:32 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_13me, real women don't look anything like
Segment details
0:33–0:35 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_14this. This is what men wish women look
Segment details
0:35–0:37 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_15like. They really don't look like this. I
Segment details
0:37–0:39 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_16mean, look at the size of the bum and the
Segment details
0:39–0:40 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_17skinniness. Jesus Christ, I have never had
Segment details
0:41–0:43 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_18a girlfriend who looked anything like
Segment details
0:44–0:45 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_19this. So yeah, they've got nice bums, and
Segment details
0:45–0:47 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_20if you're a guy, you'll spend half the
Segment details
0:47–0:49 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_21time zooming up their backsides with the
Segment details
0:49–0:51 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_22camera angles, and then you get kind of
Segment details
0:51–0:53 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_23bored with that, and then you start to
Segment details
0:54–0:55 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_24wonder, okay, what is this game about?
Segment details
0:55–0:56 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_25This game is basically a boring
Segment details
0:56–0:57 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_26hack-and-slash game which is not really
Segment details
0:57–0:59 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_27much different to mobile games like
Segment details
0:59–1:02 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_28Wuthering Waves or
Segment details
1:02–1:05 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_29Genshin Impact. Or you know those games
Segment details
1:05–1:07 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_30like Genshin Impact on mobile which look
Segment details
1:08–1:10 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_31kind of nice, you know, got good graphics,
Segment details
1:10–1:12 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_32good animations and everything, but the
Segment details
1:12–1:15 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_33gameplay is basically just spam 2 attacks
Segment details
1:15–1:18 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_34over and over and over again. Spam light
Segment details
1:18–1:20 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_35attack, charge up a heavy attack, do a bit
Segment details
1:20–1:22 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_36of dodging, some blocking. That's it
Segment details
1:22–1:24 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_37really. That's the whole gameplay. You
Segment details
1:24–1:26 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_38fight against these enemies, these aliens,
Segment details
1:26–1:28 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_39and you just hack and slash at them over
Segment details
1:28–1:29 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_40and over again. You build up some kind of
Segment details
1:29–1:31 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_41boost power or like a guard thing. Now and
Segment details
1:31–1:33 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_42then you maybe get a special attack, but
Segment details
1:34–1:35 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_43the gameplay is extremely linear. The
Segment details
1:36–1:38 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_44gameplay is very dull and tedious and
Segment details
1:38–1:40 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_45repetitive. Repetitive. So the graphics
Segment details
1:41–1:43 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_46are okay, I guess, and it does run pretty
Segment details
1:43–1:45 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_47well even though my laptop is not one of
Segment details
1:45–1:47 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_48the best laptops in the industry, so I was
Segment details
1:47–1:50 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_49quite pleased that it ran smoothly enough,
Segment details
1:50–1:52 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_50but that wasn't enough to make me want to
Segment details
1:53–1:55 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_51keep or buy the game. I got kind of bored
Segment details
1:55–1:57 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_52after a while. The movement mechanics
Segment details
1:57–1:59 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_53aren't great. I don't know why, but it
Segment details
2:00–2:02 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_54just seems like it's not very responsive
Segment details
2:02–2:04 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_55as it could be. The controls also a bit
Segment details
2:04–2:07 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_56fiddly, like with keyboard and mouse. To
Segment details
2:07–2:09 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_57dodge, you've got to press Shift, which
Segment details
2:09–2:11 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_58is— you use it with your little finger,
Segment details
2:12–2:14 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_59which is kind of hard to press. To be
Segment details
2:14–2:16 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_60honest, I don't really like using my
Segment details
2:16–2:17 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_61little finger when I'm trying to do
Segment details
2:18–2:19 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_62complex melee combat with dodging and
Segment details
2:20–2:22 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_63attacks. It's just not my favorite finger
Segment details
2:23–2:25 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_64to use. It doesn't have a lot of power.
Segment details
2:25–2:27 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_65It's not very flexible. I don't know why a
Segment details
2:27–2:30 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_66button as important as dodging should be
Segment details
2:30–2:32 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_67used with the weakest finger on the hand.
Segment details
2:32–2:34 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_68So yeah, I would like to remap it.
Segment details
2:35–2:37 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_69Probably you can. I couldn't be bothered
Segment details
2:37–2:39 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_70because this game's shit. So anyway, you
Segment details
2:39–2:41 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_71just dodge around, maybe do some parries.
Segment details
2:41–2:43 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_72The combat is very dull. There's way too
Segment details
2:43–2:46 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_73many cutscenes of these girls just, I
Segment details
2:46–2:48 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_74don't know, messing around, and I don't
Segment details
2:48–2:50 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_75know why they've got such skin-tight
Segment details
2:51–2:52 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_76armor. I don't know if it's supposed to be
Segment details
2:53–2:54 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_77armor. I guess it's to show off their
Segment details
2:54–2:56 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_78massive booties. The environments kind of
Segment details
2:56–2:58 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_79look nice, I guess, but with the constant
Segment details
2:59–3:00 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_80explosions and rumbling and shaking, it
Segment details
3:01–3:03 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_81gets kind of annoying. I don't know why
Segment details
3:04–3:05 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_82there's so much shaking. It just made me
Segment details
3:06–3:07 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_83feel a bit sick, and it kind of disrupted
Segment details
3:08–3:10 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_84the gameplay in a way. I find the enemy
Segment details
3:10–3:12 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_85models very boring. Like, I don't know
Segment details
3:12–3:14 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_86what they're supposed to be. Are they
Segment details
3:14–3:15 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_87aliens? Are they some kind of zombie?
Segment details
3:15–3:17 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_88They don't look intelligent. They're just
Segment details
3:18–3:20 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_89like these mindless, stupid zombie things,
Segment details
3:20–3:24 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_90I guess, that rush at you. There's no kind
Segment details
3:24–3:26 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_91of, you know, it's not like an intelligent
Segment details
3:26–3:28 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_92alien species that coordinates attacks and
Segment details
3:28–3:31 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_93has some kind of master plan. It's just
Segment details
3:31–3:33 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_94like mindless dumb idiots and then big
Segment details
3:33–3:35 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_95bosses later on. You just get this boring
Segment details
3:35–3:37 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_96sword which just spins around, doesn't
Segment details
3:37–3:39 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_97really do anything. And her hair looks
Segment details
3:40–3:42 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_98like a massive trail of poo floating
Segment details
3:43–3:45 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_99around behind her back. Maybe if I was a
Segment details
3:45–3:47 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_100teenage boy, I would think this game looks
Segment details
3:48–3:49 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_101really cool, but it's the kind of game
Segment details
3:50–3:51 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_102where I would find it really cool and like
Segment details
3:51–3:54 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_103fall in love with the characters because
Segment details
3:54–3:55 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_104I've never experienced a real woman yet.
Segment details
3:56–3:57 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_105And then I'd find it really cool like
Segment details
3:58–3:59 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_106that, but I'd be embarrassed to let my
Segment details
3:59–4:02 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_107friends know that I'm playing this because
Segment details
4:02–4:03 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_108they'll be like, oh, why are you playing
Segment details
4:03–4:05 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_109this girly game where you're a girl?
Segment details
4:05–4:06 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_110Where she's got a massive bum and then
Segment details
4:07–4:08 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_111they'll call me gay, wouldn't they? I want
Segment details
4:09–4:10 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_112to play a game where I'm a tough alpha
Segment details
4:11–4:12 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_113male, like a Chad with muscles ripped,
Segment details
4:13–4:15 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_114grizzly and with a beard. I don't want to
Segment details
4:15–4:17 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_115play a little woman. I'm not a girl. So if
Segment details
4:17–4:19 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_116I was a horny teenage boy, I would feel
Segment details
4:19–4:22 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_117extremely embarrassed to even let people
Segment details
4:22–4:25 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_118know that I was playing this. So then you
Segment details
4:25–4:26 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_119got this boss who has 2 massive red balls
Segment details
4:27–4:29 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_120for hands, which is— I don't know if that
Segment details
4:29–4:32 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_121was a sexual innuendo on purpose or not.
Segment details
4:32–4:34 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_122So you're these little sexy women fighting
Segment details
4:34–4:36 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_123a massive monster with 2 massive red balls
Segment details
4:36–4:38 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_124being used to crush them, which is kind of
Segment details
4:39–4:42 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_125strange, and then it gets crushed by a
Segment details
4:42–4:43 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_126massive ship. Like, everything's just
Segment details
4:44–4:45 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_127constantly exploding all the time and
Segment details
4:46–4:47 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_128blowing up. You'd think Michael Bay was
Segment details
4:47–4:49 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_129behind making this game with all the
Segment details
4:49–4:51 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_130explosions. So unfortunately, I have to
Segment details
4:52–4:54 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_131give this game a 2.5 out of 10. Visuals
Segment details
4:55–4:57 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_132look okay, girls okay, they're pretty hot,
Segment details
4:57–4:59 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_133But it gets boring after a while. It's
Segment details
5:00–5:02 · rev_098e432ebbefb261491087590ea67192_134just staring at the girls, and it also
Segment details
