Such a missed chance that fishing doesn't unlock a secret legendary monster boss fight

Lucky you. Hasn’t happened with me at all. I had all the fish info bought and tried to catch a halibut at the clock tower pond for the sidequest and all I kept getting were boxes full of mats. And yes I’m using the correct bait.

Finally beat the game and I'd give it a "B" rating. As a first go at console gaming I thought it was pretty good. I wish the sidequests were a bit more interesting and we got to know the towns folk better. Needed a lot more enemy variety. The ability to glide would have been nice. For the combat I thought that leveling up to acquire skills or combos we should have always had was annoying. My biggest issue I had was like those last few bosses. They were like 100X harder than any of the earlier bosses. I think if they polish what they have created for the second game it could easily get an "A" rating.
On the sexiness issue. I honestly hated most of the lingerie outfits. She looked best in the normal clothes. Didn't even notice the assets while playing the game until I put her in a skirt.

Some sort of hoverboard to get around in the desert and wasteland would've been great. It's still badass how her run shifts gears though

It’s one of the things that brought me back to an older classic Sony - techno culture in Stellar Blade. I miss that from Sony. We need more of this and less of the generic symphonic Marvel inspired soundtracks.

There is this one track, when traveling to Plaza in Eidos 7 and going around around the corner, where some enemies drop from above, which always throws me back to N64s Extreme-G.
All other songs are great too, at first I thought it is a bit repetetive, but after some hours in a new area I'm glad coming back to what I know and feel kinda 'home'.

It took me three consecutive hours to catch all 25 fishThe fishing is gonna be the one thing that kills me for the plat. I just can’t dude. The randomness of it all. If this were 20 years ago sure but

I can't believe people are actually playing through this multiple times just to get the platinum. Like, what do you even do on your second time through? I already completed everything the first time, and there is no way to skip to the end. At the rate I was going, ignoring all fights, skipping all cutscenes, it would take 4-5 hours to see a different ending. Who is actually doing this?

People like the game. They play through it against because they enjoy it. What’s hard to believe?

Do you need NG+ for platinum?

Many people have said this and I think it gets misinterpreted.
With people thinking it's got old gameplay or something.
I think it's better to describe it as a game made by developers that hadn't lost their way and still made games with the quality and passion like they did back in the 2000's but have evolved with technology.
But it's korean and I've always said they are like evolution of the 2000's culture that the west lost.

You just got lucky with RNG.
I'm still missing 4 fish I need and all I get are the ones I already have and anyways I have the trophy already so fuck it I want to keep playing the game

Yes. You need a minimum of 2 playthroughs, and if you don't have PS+ most likely 3 unless you do not die on the final 2 bosses because the game doesn't have manual saves and you can't savescum without using PS+ cloud save to see the different endings
Real spoiler: You need to play through at least once with the Lily gauge at 100% to get to choose between the Normal and True endings, and once with the Lily gauge at less than 100% to get the Bad ending. And if you die on the final 2 bosses, which overwrites your save, and you don't have PS+ cloud save to savescum, then you have to play through a third time because there is no way to save before making the final choice between the Normal ending and the True ending. I am seriously debating signing up for a month of PS+ just to prevent me from having to play through a 3rd time since you need to do a lot of sidequests to reach 100% Lily gauge

not worth it really. The costume is cool but nto something you will look at more than 5 minutes.
I found 36 cans myself and googled the rest. Took me about an hour to do so.

Yes. People bring up the outfit you get for all 49 cans, but one of the higher tier rewards is being able to use 2 WB Pumps instead of one.

On a side note, there is a cyberpunk 2D pixel-art indie called Anno: Mutationem now with 40% discount on PSN store. Cool little game, it has similarities with SB.

I got the nano suit outfit for catching all the fish.
Wonder if the outfit for all 49 cans is as liked by fans?
All fish vs All cans?
Madflavor
Member
Why not both?
From what I've seen the Ocean Maid outfit you get from catching all the fish seems more popular though.
This is the guide I used btw:

Trophy is meaningless. You already spoiled yourself on the story, so you may as well just watch the ending on YouTube.
I personally just stuck with the ending I got, and sold off the game for $15 less than I paid. It's still GOTY for me, as those 50 hours getting to the end were fun and engaging with fantastic graphics and music. That said, the ending is as flat as a bottle of crystal pepsi from 1994, and I supposedly got the "good" ending.

I read an endings guide which didn't spoil any of the story for me, since I already knew about the Lily Gauge going in and how important it was.
I just want the Platinum for fun but if it becomes un-fun then I won't bother continuing to get it. I'll definitely do a NG+ run because there's stuff in NG+ that you can't get in your first run but if I don't end up getting all 3 endings then honestly fuck it. This isn't Nier where the game dramatically changes each playthrough, so once I get tired of playing it I'll just stop. I've put Fate/Samurai Remnant on hold 3 times now for Persona 3 Reload, Unicorn Overlord, and this game, and I really want to get back to that soonish.

I am messing around with NG+ and I wish there was a skip all dialogue option. I dislike mashing X to progress some conversations and O to skip some cutscenes. I wish it flowed like DMCVSE with Vergil. Skip everything and get to the combat. The game flows fine. It makes me wish there was a boss rush mode. The more strength you have on your weapon, the faster the boss fights go. NG+ is also great to explore the world. I’m taking more time to look around than I did in NG. This type of formula is the chef’s kiss.

Damn another €65 the PS5 have to drop in price before I'm willing to buy...
Did not know you couldn't backup your saved to an external drive....

Credits rolling after 35 hours. I did everything except the last fishing stuff. People werent kidding about the last 3-4 hours being amazing holy shit. Gorgeous environmental design, banger musics and amazing bossfights. Despite its shortcomings this game was amazing and FUN. It was highly polished, looked fucking great on balanced mode in HDR on OLED, ran great 99% of the time. Now i really want a sequel with better writing, characters, story and fixed platforming and maybe better side content even tho some of them were decent.
Now onto NG+ hard mode with Korean VA, but i will wait for a potential photo mode to do a full playthrough again. Congrats Shift Up, this was a banger

Photo mode too please. This game is even better in NG+ hard mode. Combat really shines in longer boss fights

I got two endings on my first playthrough Return to the Colony and Making New Memories without having to use ps+ saves. Once I beat Adam and got the Return to the Colony trophy i quit the game, then I Continue the game and was back at the last Camp again and went for the Making New Memories choice instead.

The FAQ I read says that is only possible if you don't die at all to the last 2 bosses

I dont believe that at all. For one PowerPyx doesnt mention it whatsoever in the trophy guide and that dude stays on top of his shit

Either he forgot to acknowledge it or never ran into it.
If you completely die (run out of WB pumps) at the final boss fight, it sends you back to the Nest supply camp which immediately autosaves. That becomes the “continue” save file after you beat the game and you don’t get to listen to his dialog or make the final choice again.
I speak from experience. On my NG+ hard game save, I died in his second phase the first attempt. If I load up the game and continue (or even manually load) my save file, the objective in the corner of the screen is to defeat the boss, not find the elder. As soon as I set foot into the combat area, the fight begins.
If you never die, it doesn’t send you back to the camp that autosaves, so your save is before you begin the final dialog sequence.

It sucks to be spoiled like that, but trust me that spoiler will have 0 effect on your enjoyment of the game. The last 3 hours is pure cinema

Yeah it's got it's aesthetic but it's way ahead in everything else.
like I said an evolution of that era of gaming.
On that note, although this doesn't have ray tracing I just noticed that the checkered flooring reflected on Eves ass

And done !
Last few bosses are quite good. I wish there was more humanoid boss. Raven is a pretty sick fight .
Edit : just finished the credit. Looks like the good ending in the end
Visually it's beautiful on the last location.
Really enjoyed it.
I am not going to NG+ yet. But I'll come back to it. Last few bosses shows how the combat is better with harder boss. Curious to see how the full game is on hard.
Also the last outfit I got is funny. Boob window like Power Girl and Eve's are at least doubled in size in it xD

I think I got the "bad ending" but I consider it a "good" one.
I fuse with the ancestral Naityba. Fought the mech and then the Matri Arch send an army of Eve on me.
But I save the humanity and will probably destroy the Matri Arch so... Good for me.

SB is a safe bet if you are into ARPG. The one I mentioned is more narrative-driven than I expected. The cyberpunk vibe is very well done but I haven't figured out the gameloop yet (just a few hours in)
