Because they play nothing alike. Are you sure you've actually played the game. That's the kind of comparison people make when they haven't played Stellar Blade and just make assumptions about it. I've played games in the DMC series. I've beaten all three mainline Bayonetta games. I've platinumed Stellar Blade. Those two franchisess playnothing like Stellar Blade. DMC and Bayonetta have some commonality. Which makes since due to Kamiya's involvement in both. Having "Boss Fights" and "Stylized Moves" applies to a multitude of games that play nothing a like.  

Are you serious? If there were no devil may cry or bayonetta, this game never would have existed. They all follow a similar path. You have your gun and sword, combos and flashy moves,  enemy creatures that spawn you have to clear through, same dark rock music hits when fighting enemies and boss fights etc. With slight modifications to design.   

This game was made by amateurs. It must have been the koreans studios first game and it shows. The level design is outdated, the platforming, swim through here,  jump to here, unlock this  etc, they took from other games but without improving.even the unlocking of doors, imagine unlocking a code , which your bot friend knows, and it shows u the code, yet not advanced enough to unlock it for you, that you have to waste a few seconds to type it yourself.  Small things like this  annoyed me.  The game has u jumping from place to place but none of it feels connected . 

I'm going to be blunt. You have a false equivalency problem.  

  • "If there were no devil may cry or bayonetta, this game never would have existed." - Has literally zero to do with whether those games play like Stellar Blade and they don't. We don't say everything plays like Pong because games wouldn't exist without it.

  • "They all follow a similar path. You have your gun and sword, combos and flashy moves,  enemy creatures that spawn you have to clear through, same dark rock music hits when fighting enemies and boss fights etc." - This is basic game design that again has nothing to do my point. The games don't play alike. I could post this descriptor next to Sarah Valestein from the Legend of Heroes franchise and it wouldn't be inaccurate. That game is in a completely different genre. Street Fighter 2 wouldn't exist without Karate Champ, that doen't mean the games play alike. Side note: Your description to the soundtrack as "hard rock" again makes me question whether you played the game or not. Is there rock on the sound track? Yes, but it's just one of many genres. The Raven fight boss music is not Hard Rock for example.

  • "This game was made by amateurs. It must have been the koreans studios first game and it shows." - This is just a lie. It's factually inaccurate. You don't like the game. You are entitled to that opinion. However, the developers aren't amateurs and this wasn't the studios first game. This is just factually untrue.
