Good grief......like yeah Kim Hyung-Tae really wants to know what Joe Blow America guy in mustache and sunglasses and American flag hat filming his testimonial from what looks like the farm thinks he should do with his studio's game.  veni veni veni posted:Attention. I dunno lately I'm just tired of seeing everyone engage with culture warrior poo poo all the time but I chose the wrong hill for this one because it's indeed hilarious Right now I'm rapidly coming around to this conclusion. For me it's that I cannot get past what looks like random rear end American conservative bros trying to tell Asian game development studios that are clearly making their games for that regions audiences in mind first and foremost, how they should be approaching their games, but also don't cave on your vision or whatever. Also I don't speak your language at all, but you know listen to what I have to say and not what "they" do. It's the stubborn obliviousness to realize they are not the target audience for these games at all that's pushed it into the realm of hilarity for me. These fuckers don't support the Asian gaming market at all normally or get anything about their gaming culture, design/story tropes and influences, so why should any of the devs give a loving poo poo about what they think?

I feel like half this stuff is done on purpose for marketing. It feels like Sony and all of them wanted controversies to sell the game. It’s a solid game, the outfits are absurd but the combat, music and world design is great.

It's not about sites like Pixiv existing, it's about getting to feel like your taking a big stand against "woke" censorship at every turn or release of a new game. There's literally entire channels that revolve around feeding these people this sort of bullshit on youtube now that glommed onto Stellar Blade in the last month and will glom onto something else just as soon. The next time there's some instance of some upcoming game to be bigoted and racist about or claim is being censored by Big Sweet Baby Inc. they'll never talk about Stellar Blade ever again and invite themselves into the discussion over that one to make basically suppress the voices and input of the actual intended audiences for them with their bullshit anyway they can. The 180 from hailing the game as their savior to being butthurt as poo poo over it is part of the performance as the actual intended audience for the game seems generally pleased with it so far.

I'm enjoying the game a lot, and I am really interested in what a sequel could be. It certainly has its weak points, that much is clear. The plot and writing in general is very weak, the English VO isn't great. The level design shows flashes of brilliance, while at most other times being pretty workmanlike. All of these are things you hope a sequel would improve. I love the combat, the soundtrack is lovely, having a lot of fun dressing up Eve and being jealous of her pulling off outfits I never could. It looks nice, it runs extremely well with nothing I could notice as far as slow-downs, no stutters, quick loads. I'm vibing with the game in a way new games rarely do for me. I hope they take another crack at it.

I am happy we are getting AA/AAA singleplayer games from Korea(Lies of Pi/Stellar Blade) and from China(Black Myth Wukong/Lost Soul Aside). But whats interesting is that so many of those games seem heavily inspired by Fromsoftware. I wonder if Fromsoftware games are big in China/Korea.

The director was confronted by them about it at a publicity event near my home the other day. I think the international outrage stemmed off of his response. For a funny story, something similar happened with Genshin Impact, so dudes on the Korean internet hired loudspeaker trucks to drive around the company’s Korean headquarters saying abusive messages and demanding that the original designs be restored. When the company didn’t respond, they hired a blimp. However, because they forgot how high blimps fly, the only part of the message that was visible was the Genshin Impact logo on the bottom. So everyone thought it was an ad. For a less funny story, these weirdos go through female employees personal social media to find “feminists” then send those same trucks to demand they be fired. Kale posted:외국사람/Oekuk-saram: A derogatory way of saying foreigner. Erm, this is literally just “foreign person” in a dictionary way. It’s less common than 외국인 but not derogatory at all. Also the romanization is weird, it sounds like waygook saram.

Yeah that character is insanely popular and her assumed character designer was a Korean woman that goes by YOMI as her professional handle. In sort of a similar instance of the whole Sweet Baby Inc thing some people in Korea went through her social media and found some messages that were basically making GBS threads on Korean incel males and of course their response was to lose their poo poo similar to how American gamers have lost their poo poo over SBI and demand they be fired and harassing them etc. It all kind of plays into the fierce gender culture wars over there from my understanding where there's a pretty deep animosity between feminists and chauvinists that just goes around in circles like it does in America. It's also the exact same sort of poo poo of the transparency with early character design drafts, some people deciding they liked one of the earlier drafts more and then insisting that the finalized version was censored somehow and cheating them of sexiness. You can basically set your clock to these controversies always playing out the exact same way. Apparently that whole fiasco with the truck and blimp cost at least 12K USD too and did nothing. Also that's just what I had heard and that it was derogatory slang, but apparently it's just a textbook definition after all.

Didn't Sony said they would look for more acquisition. I feel like ShiftUp and Arrowhead seem like the the logical partners. I know people say Stellar Blade is horny but Shiftup's Project Nikke seems like their real horny cashcow, wonder how big that series is in Asia.

"South Korean developer Shift Up released its financial results for 2023, reporting massive gains in terms of operating profit – this value went up by 516% year-on-year and grew to around $82.4 million USD. Looking at net profits, Shift Up managed to turn a loss of around $5.3m USD from 2022 into a plus of around $79m USD – not a small feat by any means." "Earlier this year, Shift Up initiated the process of getting listed on the Korean Stock Exchange – with analysts predicting it to be valued at over $2 billion USD." https://videogames.si.com/news/shift-up-profit-growth-2023 I don't think Sony wants to pay Bungie money for Shift Up.

Tencent is the majority shareholder of Shift Up, I believe (a lot of their internal issues with treatment of female staff came up when Tencent grilled them about it during a shareholder meeting, anyway), which might make a Sony acquisition unrealistic. Sony was also looking at acquiring Round8 (Lies of P studio), but they’re only one studio within Neowiz and the only branch of that company that is doing well. Neowiz of course didn’t want to lose their only strong studio and Sony didn’t want to buy the whole company for one part. Sony clearly does want to continue investing in SK development, but I don’t think there are any obvious candidates for acquisition right now.
