Worried Stellar Blade is gonna dominate conversation cause everything has to be a headwhip hot take machine these days and in the end I’m willing to gamble it’s a trash game that won’t deserve any of the attention it gets.

Journos already saying it’s Automata+Sekiro for clicks lol.

I’m so glad you goons exist. Keeps me sane.

first impressions of Stellar Butts: it's kinda whatever, that attacks have some nice weight to them but it feels kinda stiff and clunky. the dodge is very wimpy and grabs feel impossible to avoid without stopping everything you're doing and sprinting away. there's a mikiri counter-like move for them on the skill tree but it's locked off right now. game cant seem to make up its mind if it wants to be dark souls or ninja gaiden. some of the canned grab animations end with you and the enemy just standing still for a second awkwardly locked in place until the game realizes the animation's over.

game has a pretty unpleasant aesthetic. it's one thing to have T&A in your game but when the first 15 minutes of the game is watching dozens of girls in skintight outfits getting violently mutilated it's uh a bit uncomfortable.

Jesus christ why are people defending this, that's so despicable

I don't think it would be a matter of defending so much as just seeking entertainment without caring about what the people behind it do outside of making a product they can enjoy. There are definitely chud types who had more interest in the game after the 'toxic feminism' stuff had more of a light shone on it though.

I don't think It's quite on the same level as the people who went "no ethical consumption in capitalism" when justifying the Hogwarts Legacy game but it leaves kind of a bad taste in my mouth.

Bayonetta, despite the basic premise being "A dominatrix witch who strips to attack", is somehow less horny than Stellar Blade. (And, TBH, DMCV)

Bayonetta is also a really loving good character action game so it gets cut a lot of slack on presentation

Stellar Blade could be also but all we know for sure about it right now is the horny and previews aren't looking promising

I mean boning, the wild mambo, the hunka chunka
Stellar Blade demo's pretty whatever, animations are stiff and feel pretty bad and the setting/aesthetic are just a kind of generic character-action post-apocalypse. Nothing here that hasn't been done better a hundred times already, but at least it'll give the hot take people something to go on about so they can stop airing opinions about Dragon's Dogma 2's fast travel or whatever

See this is what I’m sayin. Signs point to trash, and I wish people would just go trash and move along. Not arguing with your point it’s well made. But the more people turn poo poo into lightning rods for rage justified or otherwise the more controvercial it becomes and as you noted, the paradox is that it’ll inspire contrarians to put on their culture war garb and start performative nonsense to make a point.

Suffocate the poo poo in its cradle, imho. Don’t give it air.

Yeah, and I just try to avoid the companies that have those kinds of scandals brought to light even if the lead offenders get removed. I don't really hold it against people who do play them (outside of HL) but I can't even think about playing an Actiblizz game without thinking about all the poo poo that went down behind the scenes, most of all Kerri Moynihan, who committed suicide because she didn't see any other way out from the abuse. My friend got D4 and I tried it through gamesharing but didn't get too far into it because those thoughts wouldn't leave. That's my own hang-up, though.

I feel like there’s a lot of folks who like to obliquely bring up their kinks/fetishes/whathaveyous and it always grosses me out a little. Not cause they have them, but because they kinda prybar that poo poo into like anywhere and it’s weird.

Stellar Blade demo was OK. No outright sus poo poo so that was a plus. I like the enemy designs. The auto pick up, shorter pony tail, and easy mode were nice.

got to the final boss of the demo and downgrading my impression from “whatever” to “it’s poo poo”
feels like I’m actively fighting the controls constantly and this wimpy little dodge EVE does can’t get me away from even the tiny lightning bolts the boss drops, it’s genuinely worthless and the timing for a perfect dodge makes no sense to me. the mikiri counter unlocks for the boss but instead of watching the boss’s animation to know when to dodge into it you’re supposed to stare at EVE’s wrist for a second flash in order to hit the counter and it feels really awful
