The day 1 patch adds NG+ and fixes some of the animation delays among other things. Having to choose between that and your stand against wokeness is lol as hell. I think this sign is meant for screenshots

I’m a little confused because the game seems to still have an outfit where she’s basically naked. If it’s being censored why would they censor the outfits where she’s more clothed?

Far as I'm aware they didn't, someone posted an edited image of the swimsuit outfit to rile them up and no one bothered to check.

I am having fun with Megaton Musashi so far but I have to admit it is kind of reaching the point of exhaustion. There are like 6 different distinct upgrade things each of which has their own specific resource or loot which of course has rarity and ranks and randomlized skills and it all ends up kind of blurring together, especially since the game so far isn't remotely hard enough to justify the kind of minmaxing. Every five seconds it is unlocking some new collectable or resource or random poo poo you have to pick up off the ground, most of which also is necessary to unlock character sidequests which can be anything from useful items to "You can go into the Art Room now". And those collectables are also determined by time of day so you need to visit each area at every possible time of the day to make sure you collect everything, except new things are added as the game progresses so even if you collect everything then you have to do it again when the game decides you need to collect graffiti now in addition to medals and alien parts and random stamps, and yada yada yada. It might feel better once the game gets harder but as it stands I kind of dread every time the game tells me I've unlocked yet another upgrade thing. Edit: And like, I should note that I have a super high tolerance for this. I played the everliving poo poo out of Gundam Breaker 3 for example.

it's cool that the crowd that calls themselves "anti-censorship" have created an environment where horny artists can't make slight tweaks to their horny character designs without being bombarded with hate mail over perceived censorship

I genuinely can not imagine caring that much. You are on the internet. If you want to see horny versions of characters you can type a character's name into google and get a billion results months before the game comes out. Or hell, we're in the era where terrible AI art exists, you can probably type "EVE STELLAR BLADE BIG BOOBS PANTY SHOT" into an AI generator and get something that satisfies your itch.

I need a volume slider for Eve's battle yelps, the last YAAAAAAAAAAAAAA in her combos is like the loudest thing in the entire game by a wide margin. I could turn voices down but then I'd miss out on the SyFy quality voice acting.

Lately many people have been recommending Balatro, the indie roguelike deckbuilder that released earlier this year. To that I recommend another foreign word instead: Basura!

ImpAtom posted:I genuinely can not imagine caring that much. You are on the internet. If you want to see horny versions of characters you can type a character's name into google and get a billion results months before the game comes out. It's cause it's not actually about that with those people. They're whole personalities and life goals revolve around casting themselves as the victims of something at the same time as trying to stick it to their perceived enemies somehow. Right now the enemy of "The Gamers" (TM) are the journalists and Sweet Baby Inc. who literally aren't even doing anything and have no ability to influence decisions made by Sony and their partner studios in Korea, but that for the narrative must always be secretely plotting against "The Gamers" (TM) to take away their fanservice and "uglify" every characters. That's it. All other factors run through this filter of constant victimhood, paranoia and narrative so it was always gonna end up this way with the game and the 180ing on it hard somehow at launch. It's not about artistic integrity either cause the games director was literally asked about it and he said the costumes in the 1.02 day 1 patched game were the ones that he and his team intended to be the final versions of them. Somehow the directors own stated wishes are not good enough though in this situation, which blows up the anti-censorship crowds whole narrative of artistic integrity to me. They just want these artists and directors to bend the knee to their desires only, not their own or anyone else's otherwise they have a loving kiddie meltdown over it. poo poo like this happens with Asian games in general nowadays though. Like with the Hoyoverse games for example there tends to be a lot of beta leaks where model animations and costumes may slightly get tweaked before the final release version and any time anything like that gets tweaked it's automatically worse somehow and horribly censored as opposed to just tweaked. One of their games that's not even out yet and still working through it's betas had a massive freakout over this pink hair chick getting a similar sort of inlay on her clothing that barely makes a discernible difference cause of the need for victimhood and anti-censorship bullshit, but like maybe they just want the character to look a certain way at launch and poo poo changes during beta phases to final versions all the loving time. The only real thing IMO that's changed these days is that it's a lot more transparent with some of these games having lengthy open beta tests and leaks so people perceive more things as censorship that are just the normal sort of development of graphical assets that are no longer behind the curtain. The only real sort of solution I can think of is to just put it all back behind the curtain again, but that would mean forgoing any sort of hype marketing and drip feed at all and a double edged sword. No real way to win as a developer. Can't help but notice that games twitter page has gone oddly silent after launch day. Usually the marketing continues for a decent while after, but it just stopped cold as soon as the meltdowns began.

From what I've gathered, it wasn't a photoshop and the outfit did used to look that prior way in earlier builds. Except.... the game was still in development and subject to change. The director has straight up come out and said that the outfit changes were intentional and this final design is the outfit they've wanted all along essentially.

Waltzing Along posted:Is stellar blade a game about loving or loving things up? Cuz for the first I can see why people would be unhappy, but for the second...people have broken brains. Not sure how well known this term is, but yes and no. There's a lot of "Guro" in it (basically weird gross fringe fetish of female characters being dismembered), but there's also a lot of pretty soldier girl taking down the giant monster type stuff too. It's pretty unabashedly in your face anime/manhwa tropey stuff where having a super model looking character fighting in high heels and lipstick pirouetting around stabbing and cutting monsters apart is played off as completely loving normal poo poo and just how you go about solving a monster apocalypse on Earth. Depending on your experiences with Asian genre fiction this may in fact be completely normal and common place poo poo to you, or it may also be a revelation and dawn of a new era in gaming like it seems to be to these anti-censorship bros. I find it hard to believe in 2024 where anime and JRPG titles have gone mainstream that Eve and Stellar Blade is a brand new concept to people really. A kind of good comment I saw on the game last night in a stream with regard to the sexualization in the game is that the some of the characters clothing choices are sexiness overloaded into sorta bland and funny territory. Really kind of sums up my overall impression of a lot of it. It can be a bit hard to take seriously when they're trying to have expository dialogue moments and brood about the horrors of the conflict and they're basically half naked and jiggling in place. Like I'm still somewhat surprised Sony gave this game this much of a push and marketing having actually seen some of the dialogue, characterization, exposition, and scene direction in it, and can only guess that they saw the early concept trailers and have been really trying to recreate the conditions that caused Nier:Automata to blow up with it and so that they are the ones reaping the majority profits instead of Square Enix to the point where they offered Shift Up a lot of production and marketing help for a say in the direction of the games development and console exclusivity. acksplode posted:Lmao thank you.

Someday we're gonna share retirement homes with people still ranting about Abbie's sex scene Literally the 180 of all times from about a week ago to launch day with these fuckers. Do they think people in Korea and Japan where the game is likely to see the bulk of it's sales honestly give a slight gently caress either way? I'd have normally called it loving around and finding out with the crazy gamer bro crowd, but the devs clearly never intended to cater to the anti-censorship crowd with the game anyway so kind of hard to look at it that way.

2B's character design is certainly horny but I think it also just looks a lot better than Eve's (and is better complemented by the art style as well). This is the one post I will make about Stellar Blade itself because I have no interest in playing it.
