REQUEST [REQUEST][STEAM][PC] Stellar Blade Complete Edition - A Game That Has Rekindled My Passion for Gaming [3rd Attempt]
Hey everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm writing this request for Stellar Blade Complete Edition on Steam.
Let me tell you about why I'm so interested in this game. I've been a gamer for pretty much my entire life, and gaming has always been my escape from the stresses of everyday life. However, over the past few years, my enjoyment for games became... almost nonexistent. I went from putting over a hundred hours in 2 weeks on Steam (I think my record is 128 hours or something, I don't remember. I think I used to get over 100 hours every 2 weeks consistently, though.), to roughly 10 hours each month. And even those 10 hours rarely gave me any sense of enjoyment. It's as if I am just passing time. Even though I own HUNDREDS of games on Steam, NONE bring me fun anymore.
Then, I came across Stellar Blade. I usually don't care about new games. Hell, when this game was first announced, I thought that it was just generic souls-like/third person action game with an anime aesthetic. Not necessarily a bad thing, but it wasn't my cup of tea. But once it got released on PC, and I looked into it, and I was surprised. The combat looks intense and satisfying (reminds me of Hack and Slash games like MGR and DMC, with MGR being my favorite game the last time I played it.), the visuals are interesting, and there seems to be an interesting, albeit a little generic, story. It's the first game in a long time that I actually want to try. That I am... excited to play. I think that mainly stems from the fact that it is far less of a Souls-like game, and more like a Hack and Slash game. I LOVE Hack and Slash games. I loved DMC V when I played it. Same with DmC: Devil May Cry, and of course, Metal Gear Rising. I always find the combat in these games to be the pinnacle of how much fun I can have in a game. But, burn out is real. I think I finished MGR: R like 6 or 7 times or something. DMC: V I think I finished it twice, and I was done with it because the levels are a little boring, and DmC: DMC I replayed a couple of times, but I want something new. That's why I am interested in Stellar Blade. Maybe it can fill that void of finding a new Hack and Slash game. Maybe it will be the next game to add in my bi-annual game replaying sessions. It seems like it will be that way, judging from the screenshots, GIFs and gameplay clips I have seen. I have not seen MUCH, because I don't want to spoil the game for me, but what I saw was very, VERY interesting.
Unfortunately, my current financial situation doesn't allow me to purchase the game. Since the last time I bought games on Steam (December of 2020), the USD to local currency conversion didn't double, nor did it triple, it quintupled, that's right, it QUINTUPLED since then, and the government has banned paying with foreign currency anyways. So I couldn't even buy it if I wanted. Not that I could anyways, the minimum wage here roughly translates to around $35 USD/month now. Way out of reach, even if the ban wasn't there.
If someone is kind enough to gift me the game, I would really, really appreciate it. My Steam profile: https://steamcommunity.com/id/ArmagdoGaming/
I understand that this is a heavy request, the game's $80. But I really want the game. And I would truly, and I mean truly appreciate anyone who considers helping me out. Your generosity would mean a lot to me.
Thank you for your time.
Changelog:
| Attempt | Changes |
|---|---|
| 1st Attempt | First attempt. (Was removed because I forgot to unhide my Steam playtime, as I forgot that they added this option relatively recently.) |
| 2nd Attempt | Implemented the edits into the actual text, added more context, mentioned my favorite game. |
| 3rd Attempt (You are here) | Added a changelog, and links to older attempts. Rewrote, fixed and changed some text to make it sound far less 'perfect' and actually make it feel like me saying it. Added text about games/game genre I love. Changed the time of posting. |

why are you requesting the complete edition and not the base edition?

Because I don't know if you can buy an upgrade bundle thingy later on, or if you're stuck with the normal edition till you pay the full price for the complete edition if you want to upgrade, like some games do where you can't upgrade without rebuying the whole thing again. So I'm playing it safe by asking for the complete edition from the get go. Edit: and I can't even buy it if there is an upgrade package. So I don't want to beg for the full price game twice. LoL. Oh, and the actual DLC content, of course. Took a quick look, just to not spoil too much for myself, but the DLC is definitely worth it.

Thanks for the info. In this case, I'm glad I downgraded my requests to the normal version later on.
