Take a second to think about it logically.
If you know for a fact that the type of people who routinely murder video games hate attractive women, then a game advertising itself with one has immediately shown that those people don't call the shots.
Regardless of if you give a shit about hot girls, this IMMEDIATELY raises a green flag.
Does this mean it's instantly good? fuck no, it just means it's not instantly shit and is worth taking a look at.

Hmm, well I would say that is a weakness of the individual's character and willpower if an appealing looking part of the game makes him so overcome with lust that he is taken advantage of because of it. I don't believe that having pretty characters should be discouraged because it's used to take advantage of the mentally fragile. I enjoy them too and I don't drop games to go fap or spend on "jigglier polygons" just because they're nice to look at.

>>712479753

>>712479823
>I would say that is a weakness of the individual's character and willpower
That's who their target audience is, yes. That's why I see no appeal in it.

>>712477105
the game sold 1 million on its launch window on PS5, it reviewed well from critics and extremely well from users to the point it has the most reviews on PSN. The western audience is obviously there. Like on launch it reached 80k before midnight - that is simply not small for a steam audience of a port. People who play games love it

>Despite releasing in 2024, the recent launch of Stellar Blade on PC has been breaking sales records on Steam. The Shift Up RPG has already become the second most successful PlayStation game to launch on PC, with 180k concurrent peak players in just under 24 hours. However, a big reason for Stellar Blade‘s popularity is thirsty players.

>Within a day of its launch on PC, Stellar Blade has skyrocketed to the top of Steam’s most-played games chart. The Shift Up RPG already has 180k concurrent users actively playing it on the Valve platform. At the current rate, that number is likely to climb past 200k, which is really good for a PlayStation title that originally launched in 2024

>While Stellar Blade has some of the best combat since NieR: Automata, players are flocking to the PC release for other reasons. Over on Steam, Stellar Blade’s overwhelmingly positive 92% review ratings are largely being flooded by thirsty players gushing over the game’s protagonist, Eve. More specifically, they are really happy with the game’s wide variety of risqué skins for the heroine, as well as the game’s physics engine.

...

>All jokes aside, Stellar Blade is genuinely a fantastic game if you like the action RPG genre. At least for me, it was the closest thing I’ve experienced to NieR: Automata. The story isn’t half bad either, although it does pale in comparison to the genius Yoko Taro. Regardless, Stellar Blade’s worldbuilding and lore are still really well-done, flaws aside.

>All this to say, while I know the RPG has a reputation for catering to thirsty players, I think it’s a game you should still check out. Stellar Blade also has a wide variety of outfits, and not all of them are over-the-top or revealing. In fact, if you like fashion in gaming, the Shift Up RPG has one of the best customization features. So, regardless of how you choose to play, you have options!

Right, so you're just using the brush of the most obvious enemy to tar everyone who doesn't like your goonslop. Got it.

>>712471443 (OP)
The purpose of entertainment is to excite, intrigue, and relax the audience.
The primary audience for hobby-like activities like playing PC-style videogames is men, 99% of which are heterosexual.

Yes, your female characters DO need to be hot and feminine, because that gives players something pleasant to look at and listen to, as well as something to look forward to (what kinds of girls are we going to see next?!). The only people who have something to apologize for are the industry workers who tried to treat videogames as a platform to shame men for failing to exist to validate female narcissists.

>>712471786
AAA cannot be sustained. Games cost way too much and most companies can't justify having their bloated staff anymore. Xbox is going to try to keep the gravy train going, with gamepass money, but that will collapse at some point, unless they raise the price. HR/Marketing hags and the dei/ethics wings are going to be the first to go and then they will start having to cut away the least productive and maybe the industry can get back to what we had in the early aughts.

There's more types of appeal out there but I don't think the appeal of having cute, cool, pretty, or even absurd looking characters is something that should be abhorred and denied simply because people use it as a bandaid to promote bad practices to weak minded people. It's throwing the baby out with the bathwater to do so. I don't fap to video games, but I enjoy content and looks ostensibly designed to attract people who do to make fanart or shill merchandise sometimes. There are cases where it goes into too-silly territory and loses the appeal for me (e.g. Nikke resembling a parody jiggling ass sniper ad from 2009 takes me out of it despite some cute characters, also the gameplay is dogshit) but I do like seeing a nice clean piece of let's say...Suzuhito Yasuda art gracing my strategy gameplay.

>>712483445
So true sister, it turns out that when chu--I mean WE win it turns out it's actually still losing.... We should probably all give up.............

It doesn't count, because in the west literally no one is playing it or cares about it. It has no impact. Just like that shitty Ne Zha movie that is the highest grossing and ''most watched'' animated film of all time - it's completely irrelevant if you're white because literally only chinks watched it.

if anything, this has revealed that white people are doomed and they hate attractive women in their video games. So we'll just continue to get manfaced mcsquarejaw dyke games.

Sure, but I think a bigger reason is Chinese players. Now, if the author had scanned the Chinese reaction to it and they were also very thirsty, then it would be an accurate description.

>The Shift Up RPG
Okay, so he says this twice, but once he says "Action RPG". That kind of discredits this guy for me. Who's calling the game an RPG?

>While Stellar Blade has some of the best combat since NieR: Automata
Oh, c'moooon. Who seriously uses NA as a benchmark in combat??

>At least for me, it was the closest thing I’ve experienced to NieR: Automata. The story isn’t half bad either, although it does pale in comparison to the genius Yoko Taro.
I don't get these people continuing to compare SB to NA. SB has none of the depth of NA's story and lore. It's like comparing McDonalds burgers to steakhouse burger.

I don't think this person spent much time with either Stellar Blade or NieR: Automata.

It's just that China has more gooners. It's a country where there're more men than women because of their retarded one child policy. It's the contrary in the West, where there're more women than men, meaning it's easier to have sex.

Fixed, and because it gives game studios an excuse to never make anything good again; and now that wokeness effectively did its job, and even deep-voiced Vtrannies like Rev are calling DEI cringe, it's the perfect opportunity to switch out the sort of low-risk crap that AAA is going to flood the market with, while true-believer indie developers stick to the Undertale guidebook of "subtle" wokeness.

That he pushed to censor video games on lines of simulated violence, and after he was sent away, gamers completely failed to tackle the entirely different beast of ideological subversives until it was too late.

nikke can be played f2p, if you want a specific girl then you can roll

stellar blade base game is a complete game, you dont need to buy dlc (or you can unlock it anyways with creaminstaller)

in any case, journos are too proud to admit "chuds" are right about attractive women. who WANTS to play as a fat DEI reddit mod?

the thing is that chinks are so obsessed with "face" that I could absolutely see them dumping money into buying copies of their own shit to inflate sales lol
that's up in the air though, but shills are inevitable - especially with chink "farms" basically made for it
can't avoid that
peculiar that the common defense is barryposting-tier repeats of "tranny" or "zoomer" though, I remember the first threads also calling anyone who thought the game was just meh a tranny and Page 9-posting with T&A screenshots repeatedly

you literally came into a thread to call a game that you haven't played bad. you're right, there was nothing to even concede. you are just a complete and utter faggot.

Let's be real. The game isn't even that sexy.
This is something no one would notice if it was on the PS2. It's not exactly an ero game. It's not even X Blades levels of titillation.
Getting mad at this frankly wholesome game, outs you as being deranged, from where I'm standing.

>>712504810

>>712505031
>>no one talking about gameplay or story

>>712504810
It's an 8.5/10 game. And that's on a real scale, not those stupid scales that just use 7-9.

>>712505031
>>712504810
You can't juggle enemies and there's no focus on aerial combat. This is a grounded game with an emphasis on defensive play. It's not Devil May Cry or Bayonetta; it may be inspired by them, but it's not trying to "be" them. For most fights, you're intended to parry and use the different dodge maneuvers, and follow up those actions with attack strings. It's not a game with a focus on offense, which is why you are punished for finishing a combo string if you try to spam attacks without considering your defense. The last hit of a combo performs the most amount of damage, but you need to commit to it, which is why you can't cancel the attack and are punished if you try to slip in a full combo during a small window. BUT HEY, if that's the playstyle you like, you can stack attack-speed gears to fix this issue by allowing you to squeeze in longer combos during shorter windows. I get some hardcore Ninja Gaiden or God Hand CAG purists not liking the "RPG" elements of the game, but by refusing to engage with them and then comparing Stellar Blade to games that don't function the same way, you're dinging the game for not being what you "want" it to be.

I have seen anons say how they wanted a fast-paced game with "air parries," "dash cancels," "jump cancels," and so on, but Stellar Blade isn't trying to be that fast-paced game. Enemies track you because, again, it's a game focused on parrying and dodging. If you could simply walk or dash away from an attack, you wouldn't be engaging with these defensive mechanics.

>>712505347
>>712505031
>>712504810
Some critiques I've seen say "Spacing doesn't matter at all." It's not trying to be a game about spacing and footsies. Every system in this game rewards defensive play. Anons have said there's no hitstun for normal attacks, and that's because you're incentivized to parry to build Beta Energy meter for beta attacks which have insane hitstun. I've seen people say crowd control sucks, and that's because you build Burst Energy meter by dodging attacks (3 full blips per dodge), and all burst attacks grant invulnerability which are great for crowds, and there's even a pseudo screen-bomb burst attack.

Same reason why inertia exists; this isn't a shmup where you need quick-reflexes to maneuver out of the way from a speeding bullet. Attacks are telegraphed with enough of a window for you to react with a parry or dodge. And in regards to air dashing, it's meant for platforming; the game makes it clear that aerial combat is not a major component (only one air combo) so there's really no reason for you to even attempt to use it during boss fights. I get some people wanting to try different things out to shake things up, and try to discover if there are some extra layers of depth, so that's why you tried out aerial maneuvers during battles, but this isn't Devil May Cry, stop trying to play it like it is. You don't play Dodonpachi as a cover shooter, do you? You don't get upset that you can't hide behind the environment to dodge bullets like in Deathsmiles, do you?

>>712505427
>>712505031
>>712504810
In regards to enemy design. There is variety here; not in terms of defending or attacking, but in more unique ways. In Matrix 11 there are tentacle enemies that posses corpses, and when you kill a possessed corpse they will break free and actively search for another corpse, so the game becomes this juggle of trying to kill these little dudes before they turn into a bigger problem, while also dealing with other enemies in the room. In Spire 4, the robots break apart when they die but only sometimes, so if you're fighting multiple at once and you kill a robot, you have to be alert because it can split apart and crawl on the ground chasing after you while you're fighting something else. Hell, simply putting multiple different enemies in a room changes your approach to combat; did you know that in Devil May Cry 1 only a single enemy type appears on screen at any given time? You wouldn't say DMC1 lacks depth in spite of that.

And since when is score or a style meter needed to encourage getting better at a game? Try New Game hard mode (not NG+). Yeah it sucks that hard mode is locked behind completing the game (which is a genuine issue), but try the skinsuit; the game caters to players of all skill levels.

The story is mediocre in how its told, I cannot defend this. It is objectively not well told and obscured through tons of sidegame lore that while good is not what the average player will engage with.

You could tell from the demo that this was going to be a grounded game, and that you couldn't skip cutscenes. You knew how the hacking minigame worked. You knew there was gonna be platforming. What you saw in the demo is what you got. It's not a perfect game, it's not consistently enjoyable at all times (wasteland, great desert, the tower climbing, abyss levoire), it has big pacing issues, you won't see me defending the inability to skip cutscenes (it's even an issue on NG+)

The game is mechanically sound, not my fav cag but its fun

Costumes you see actresses wear to the Oscars every year, are more outrageous than anything in Stellar Blade.

I wont say the game is a 10/10 but it's definitely an 8.5/10 in my book.
It's just a solid game through and through and you also need to realize that a lot of the stuff Shitft Up is doing is them experimenting with what a console action game can do.
All these guys ever did were mobile phone gachas, this is their first time with a controller and a 3D space.

This common chud W has renewed my interest in the game. I put it down a few months ago and I just picked it up again last night. Bought the Nikke dlc because that pink skin suit makes my dick fucking solid. The games fun enough where I actually go out of my way to do side quests.

Kain has some respect from me for actually having his head on straight in most cases, like him writing an article lambasting the "bharva pushups" scene from The Veilguard and how shallow and immersion breaking it is, and really just being the devs obnoxiously patting themselves on the back at the expense of the game world they had built.

It may not be a lot but someone in games journalism actually seeing through the dense farce fog that seems to surround them all now is welcome.

Tassi is exactly that kind of clown, can't trust a single word he writes, nothing but inconsistent pandering.

Trannies will never understand that not all video game titillation is equal to porn. Most people don't jack off to in-game characters even when they're attractive.

>>712509361
There unironically isnt a generic action game like stellar blade in maybe a decade. It's relic from the late 2000s which is why so many normies like it. Every action game nowadays is trying too hard to be avant garde and unique.

>>712509182
I mean it looks like it's just asking you to consent to having your information sold. I don't get the issue.

That's probably the best way I've seen Stellar Blade described. Especially the part about how other games went too avante garde.

Incidentally the Hypertube bit is fucking rad and has one of the best surprises in the game.

>>712511804
heh, love it when you see them switch narratives in real time.

>>712511804
absolutely.

This comic encapsulates it perfectly.

I look forward to EVE being in the back by 2026 or so.

Well, shit. I kind of expected them to never moderate themselves and go down with the woke ship.
