Stellar Blade / Project Eve Thread - aka Stellar Ass

[ShitLurker]

100% agreed.
Taro is what Kojima wishes he were, and we need to steal Biden's Adrenochrome and mail it to him.

Well, Kojima had the gigantic advantage that he had competent game developers around him instead of the mouth breathers that made Drakengard. So his insanity had a gameplay loop that didn't want to make people gouge their eyes out. But yes, the biggest difference is that Taro seems to want to embrace the medium (the constant use of shifting perspectives in his narrative and re threading content but with different knowledge or context) while Kojima just wanted to make movies and his westaboo tendencies made him get the California brain rot remotely. Much sad.

What kind of logic is this?

"They reacted to us! That means we were right all along!"

And finished the game. Probably around 20 hours with all quests. The penultimate boss was absolutely fantastic fight, best in the game, annoyingly the final boss was a pain with too many unparriable attacks, range attacks and too much HP (at least you only need to reduce it to 2/3 health).

I have no idea why they censored some outfits considering the outfit I used the last hours can be best considered as a long towel with a hole to put a head through.

I hope the game succeeds or gets success after being ported to PC.

I won't say it's GOTY but it was well worth the price.

Mark Kern is basically encouraging the whole pre-order business practice.
Mass Hype = Good Game. Gamers today are fucking morons.

What kind of logic is this?

Sound logic

"They reacted to us! That means we were right all along!"

They're literally seeking a hitman to KILL mark (not in a game, IRL) for trying to get censorship of a schlock video game rolled back.

Btw, they're not "reacting", they started this fight by mounting a press campaign against the game for having a beautiful protag rather than a troon.

Then, after all of this, they turn around with an appeal to irrelevancy, calling everyone circulating petitions "ridiculous" and "unhinged" for doing it.

So his logic is sound.
It is important, because they made it important.. important enough to mount a press campaign and to seek hitmen. Now they're gaslighting everyone involved.

 

[Cheeseknife]

Sound logic

"I called a dude a retard and he slapped me! This must mean I was correct."

Yes, sound logic.

they're not "reacting"

Mark's words, not mine.

Nier Automata without the insanity of Taro and presentation would be an incredibly mid game. It may be the best playing of his games by far, but all of his games lived and died by his atmosphere and writing. That Stellar Blade ended up being an average game that is alright but can't really stand toe to toe with any of it's inspirations doesn't surprise me in it's slightest. It's still a damn good first attempt for a company that has only done gatcha shit from the looks of it though.

Too bad they had to be faggots, lie and shackle themselves up with Sony.

Nier Automata's gameplay was shallow but I found it very satisfying.

I'm very curious about how Stellar Blade's combat feels. It looks less shallow that Automata, but whether it works comes down to game feel. But I don't own a sonybox, so no demo for me. I do find it odd that the comparisons aren't to Automata but to Dark Souls...

What kind of logic is this?

"They reacted to us! That means we were right all along!"

It depends on who initiated and what the reaction is. But a reaction can be proof of a lot of things. The people who shout "WHY DOES IT MATTER TO YOU!" do not demonstrate the irrelevance of something but rather its importance to themselves. Only people who go "lol, lmao even, sure, change it, whatever, I don't care" are actually acting like it's a trivial thing.

Grummz's logic here is valid if you accept his premises: people work very hard to loudly insist that it's trivial and therefore no change should be made because it's unimportant. These two facts contradict each other. You cannot simultaneously strongly advocate against something while arguing that it doesn't matter.

"But it's not true! They aren't working hard!" Sure maybe, but you didn't disagree with his premises, you disagreed with his logic.

I hope the game succeeds or gets success after being ported to PC.

I won't say it's GOTY but it was well worth the price.

It seems decent. Not amazing: if it's not your thing it won't change your mind. But if it is your thing you'll be happy with it.

They're literally seeking a hitman to KILL mark

It was one dude. Not a good thing, but this is a case where "they" is doing too much heavy lifting to group him with others.

 

[dustbuster]

"I called a dude a retard and he slapped me! This must mean I was correct."

"the dude came and pissed in my cereal, I called him a retard for pissing in my cereal, he slapped me!"

Yes, you are correct for calling the dude a retard.
Anyone saying you're wrong after he pissed in your cereal is gaslighting you.

It was one dude. Not a good thing, but this is a case where "they" is doing too much heavy lifting to group him with others.

The entire game journoscum crowd were mounting a press campaign (an entire season of slow drip) to get this game censored.
Then it was censored.
Now Mark is fighting to undo the damage they caused, and they're claiming he's "unhinged"

"I haven't even played the game yet, but somehow I know it is great!"

Again, it's not about the game.
It's about the journoscum full court press to vilify the game for refusing to allow DEI consultants to ugly it up.
That is where his lines of it being a "cultural beacon" come from.
The entire AAA industry is in love with THIS as a protagonist and journoscum are pissed at anyone who counter-signals this:

 

[Cheeseknife]

the dude came and pissed in my cereal

Nope. Nobody is forcing you to buy their products. Make better choices.

gaslighting

Go back to Reddit.

But do they deserve the current state of the industry?

The "get what you deserve" stuff has never made sense. Games are a luxury product that nobody really needs. If gamers continually buy into hype and pre-purchase their games, this is going to be worked into the next marketing scheme the company uses to make a profit. Seems to me the easiest choice to make in this scenario is just to not to pre-purchase overly-hyped games anymore. But gamers cannot help themselves.

And if you really Sony hates you, then stop giving money to them.

Grummz's logic here is valid

No, receiving pushback does not inherently make your position the correct one.

 

[dustbuster]

Nope. Nobody is forcing you to buy their products. Make better choices.

Nobody is forcing Sony and ShiftUP to defraud their customers of what they were promised when they pre-ordered.

Stop defending criminal fraud.

Go back to Reddit.

That's my line. The censors LOVE reddit.
You'd be right at home there with the DARVO you're pushing.

No, receiving pushback does not inherently make your position the correct one.

He's the one pushing back you fucking retard.

 

[Cheeseknife]

Stop defending criminal fraud.

So, where's the lawsuit?

censors

Go back to Reddit.

He's the one pushing back you fucking retard.

Both parties, retard.

 

[dustbuster]

So, where's the lawsuit?

>looks at Trump
Yeah, the courts are totally not corrupt.
>looks at Antifa and BLM
Today I learned nothing these 2 groups did was ever criminal because they were never charged.

Go back to Reddit.

That's the second time you've said the line, but you're missing the mirror shitbird.

Both parties, retard.

Not how morality works.
In a conflict, the person who initiates is the aggressor.
That's not Mark.

Anyone who defends the aggressor is wrong.
That's you, pal.

 

[Cheeseknife]

>looks at Trump
Yeah, the courts are totally not corrupt.

lol. lmao, even.

missing the mirror

Go back to Reddit.

morality

No sane individual would ever moralfag about the amount of visible flesh present on a video game protagonist.
No sane individual would ever moralfag about keeping "Hard R" on a wall in your video game.

"the dude came and pissed in my cereal, I called him a retard for pissing in my cereal, he slapped me!"

Yes, you are correct for calling the dude a retard.
Anyone saying you're wrong after he pissed in your cereal is gaslighting you.

Yeah, reminds me of all the Tik Tok videos that start mid-confrontation and one person looks terrible. Was that person terrible? No clue. Maybe they're unhinged and snapped out of nowhere. Or maybe the dude took out a dog treat while saying "you're not going to like [what I do]." Or maybe he didn't. I don't know and can't know. Instead I simply don't trust that kind of editing.

The entire game journoscum crowd were mounting a press campaign (an entire season of slow drip) to get this game censored.
Then it was censored.
Now Mark is fighting to undo the damage they caused, and they're claiming he's "unhinged"

Yeah but the journoscum isn't an organized group trying to hire a hitman. Just one guy. Bad? Yes. But in this case not a "they".

At best you could make a stochastic terrorism argument, but I am deeply suspicious of stochastic terrorism arguments because they tend to come from those who love censorship.

No, receiving pushback does not inherently make your position the correct one.

That wasn't the logic. But have fun punching your strawman, showing how smart you are by beating up an argument that was not being made.

Neither I nor Grummz said "pushback inherently validates a position", despite your attempts to lie it into existence.

 

[dustbuster]

But in this case not a "they".

There is a political persuasion made famous by Tipper Gore and Jack Thompson that is unified by purpose, militant for their cause, but not directly coordinating.

I refer to this as a "they".

The best I can compare to is Lies of P only far easier. It's mainly parries and little dodging. There are more combos but I never felt like it was worth the risk of being locked into animations. Also you don't forever to charge your special attacks.

It seems decent. Not amazing: if it's not your thing it won't change your mind. But if it is your thing you'll be happy with it.

One of the things that elevates the game is that it feels sincere. Even modern Japanese games feel like they want to ape the MCU or feel ashamed in their silliness. Also it's nice to have costumes in games, feels like forever since you had fuckton of costumes without buying a dlc pack.

 

[Cheeseknife]

Neither I nor Grummz said "pushback inherently validates a position", despite your attempts to lie it into existence.

Correct, you didn't literally say those specific words which means you obviously didn't mean what I said you meant. Well done! Well reasoned!

That wasn't the logic.

It wasn't logic at all. That was the original point.

 

[draggs]

Hiring a hitman lol

It's like pottery the journoscum and the incels
