Stellar Blade / Project Eve Thread - aka Stellar Ass

Funny enough, there was a time when "hard R" benignly referred to R-rated movies with content so intense that they clearly deserve their rating, as opposed to the ones that just say "fuck" a few too many times. In this sense, "Hard R Shop" sounds like it could be the name of a strip club.

But unfortunately, we now live in Current Year.

I don't understand people freaking the fuck out over Stellar Blade and it's fanservice.

It's pretty tame for a shift up game. Look at the kinda stuff they did with Destiny Child or what their doing with Nikke.

It's just a massive nothing burger.
Not to the people doing the complaining.

This happens every time, from blood in Mortal Kombat, to now. "It's just a red blood drop graphic, what does it matter if it's removed." They know they're lying. If it's not a big deal, why complain about it.


They have no problem going after smaller studios or more obscure games, so it's not just that. But those games are niche as far as the west goes, so game journos didn't notice or care. It's like how no one cared about Craftopia or AI Imposter until Palworld blew up, then suddenly those games were ethically questionable.
 
Well the thing about Nikke or destiny child is that they play like mobile games, (and destiny child is a mobile game if I’m correct) and won’t ever really hit the mainstream.
As much as I'm loathed to say it: Nikke made $600m in its first year. I'd honestly say that's pretty mainstream. Maybe not console mainstream, but they did advertise in Times Square to celebrate their half-anniversary.
Replace a made-up "racist" word with another racist word.

You love to see it. Shift Up can't even be blamed for this, if no one bitched this gorgeous word would never have come into existence.
They were not complaining one bit during the great 2B Upskirt Yoko Taro Masturbation Simulator or the British Gun Witch Was Designed By A Woman games.
Actually they did. I remember during GG they were pissed about a lot of the designs, in fact, a lot of people had to point out Bayonetta was designed by a woman. They're just trying to hide that past because they need to seem... "reasonable", I guess is the word to use. You see, they try to project an image of their side being the sensible side. They don't look sensible if you dig up the receipts. They're trying to be mature, everyone else is a teenage incel chud. Etc. Plus there's this weird timer they have when it's "safe" to enjoy thing.
 
Stellar Blade's real sin is the fact that its a PS5 exclusive. It will end up like Bloodborne where it will be stuck in exclusivity hell and it will never be ported (and if it will, the port is either half-assed or will have shit like Denuvo).
 
/v/ is currently in shambles because it seems like the lewd costumes in game were actually censored

I'm not surprised. I had hope they wouldn't do this, but once they took the bait with the Hard R stuff, I knew that censorship would happen if not day 1 then in a month or two. Especially with Sony involved.

Edit: I wonder if the patch was planned from the start? I mentioned earlier in the thread that it seems weird that journos suddenly stopped attacking the game. If they knew the day 1 patch would censor it, maybe that's why.

Literally one day before release and their already fucking the pooch.
