r/stellarblade

- Stellar Blade made me buy the PS5 console (and later the disc drive to play the JP disc version)
- It made me start my pc building journey with the AM5 platform from an ITX form factor and then MATX which I’ve used until now.
- My CPU also upgraded from originally a 7500F to a 7800X3D.
- At first I used an RX 9060 XT 16 GB which is quite nice but it feels lacking to me for Stellar Blade, especially because I was (and still am) using a 1440p monitor. Also using FSR does something weird with EVE’s hair IIRC where it made it shimmer. So then I switched to a 5060 Ti 16 GB. Paired with DLSS, made EVE completely beautiful and gave me smooth gameplay. Then I started experimenting with Intel Arc B580 because it had just released the driver for Stellar Blade. But I wasn’t satisfied, which led me to sell it.
- The RTX 5060 Ti was nice, but I wanted more oomph. I wanted to play SB at very high settings in high refresh rate. So I upgraded to an RTX 5070 Ti, which has been my daily driver since.

That’s it I guess, just wanted to share my experience. How’s yours?

I really liked the game, but I think the final choice between fighting Adam or being loyal to Mother Sphere is just too easy and logical. Once all the facts are on the table, it's obvious that Adam wants the best for humanity and that killing the Naytibas is pretty much doing a genocide.

I'd have preferred a tougher decision. Like... It's either the Naytiba or the Andro-Eidos, one or the other. That's a very hard choice because on one hand, as Eve, I'm Andro-Eidos, but on the other hand, as a player, I'm a biological human.

I'd have loved if that was the first dilema given to the players, both being bad endings, and then for NG+ to provide the a​lternative good ending in which we actually join Adam.

​​​​I know what I'm saying isn't possible because it would require major changes to the game, I'm just saying the final choice wasn't really a choice, it was purely logical. It's something that bothers me a bit. I like it when decisions are actual dilemas. ​​

If you has to choose between exterminating andro-eidos or the Naytibas, who would you pick? ​
