I have zero interest in this game, so I have no horse in this race, but the censorship does seem a little silly. It’s rated M, are we really so puritan that a little cleavage needs to be covered up?
It is silly but what’s even sillier is being legitimately mad at this
Can we just agree that everyone is a little stupid here? Except for us. We are Rad.
I can agree that I am very smart and cool
I am not mad, but I am disappointed in sony on principal. I want to see the game the devs wanted to make. Eventually. If it comes to PC one day.
I think they were trying to avoid getting a Cero Z rating in Japan.
Right. In a world of unlimited and free internet porn where every niche is well catered for, what we need to worry about are skimpy swimsuits in games.
Inb4: I don’t have any issues with pornography, each to their own. But you can define have too much of a good thing!
I read Japan is making them censor the game so that could be part of the reason. The ‘Hard R’ graffiti is something else.
Correction: It was EA Japan complaining about why the Japanese rating board banned their game but allowed Stellar Blade uncensored.
They didn’t. Only 2 weeks ago the Devs were boasting about it being uncensored.
From an outside perspective? Yes.
On the one hand I’m all for horny shit in games, and I think they should go full nude just for the hell of it. But on the other hand, I had to squint to be able to tell the difference between the outfits.
Same, I spent like over a minute trying to find whatever the fuck they were talking about.
I actually like the new one better, because it has a bit more interesting details. It’s not all about the amount of skin shown, IMO.
I think it’s the blood most people would be upset about. It’s clearly toned down and diminishes the original intent. At least, that’s what I hope they’re upset about.
I don’t understand why everything needs to be a boring shade of grey.
If someone what’s a hyper violent game with tits in it and you don’t why do you care? Just don’t play.
Its fucking childish, if someone isn’t hurting other let them have their own form of entertainment. The more entertainment the better, everyone gets what they want.
'cause it’s published by a giant corporation and they have to be as insipidly neutral as possible.
That’s a problem.
I’d rather a big company throw out 10 different games some of which I think are great and some terrible. Then 10 games that are meh
Idk mixing hyper violence and sex in dudes’ minds might lead to hurting others, couldn’t it?
Uhh, that’s the 90s “video games cause violence” argument that’s been thoroughly debunked.
The sole purpose of this game seems to be for batin’ so I agree the censorship is stupid. Still not my kind of game.
It’s great value brand Nier: Automata.
The main guy behind nier thinks stellar blade is great https://www.eurogamer.net/stellar-blade-is-superior-to-nier-automata-says-yoko-taro
I saw that and I believe it’s a very nice statement.
This game has a good story, great combat, and an interesting world. The ONLY reason you think it’s for wanking is because the women characters in the game are all dressed in fetish gear and lingerie despite there being no mention of sex or sexuality anywhere in the game. It’s pure fetishization and it’s especially creepy on the two different characters who look underage.
The… only reason I think it’s for wanking is because the developers dressed their characters in fetish gear…?
Y-Yeah…?
Point being it’s a pretty good game with overt and put of place fetishization of specifically women characters and that’s why some people have an issue with the sexualisation. Every male character is covered head to toe, most of them even have full head mask/helmets. The game isn’t sexy at all - a side character mentions love and Eve literally doesn’t know what it is - other than the outfits.
Why am I constantly hearing about this game? Aren’t there millions of these Devil May Cry type games with an attractive young girl? The reviews for this one aren’t even that good.
Good marketing. I would never even have heard about this game if it was due to constructed outrage.
It is by the developer of Nikke, which is the 3rd biggest mobile game, after Genshin Impact and Star Rail. It has a very attractive protagonist, apparently great combat and was praised by the Nier Automata creator(with which it shares many similarities).
What other similar DMC games, with similar fidelity and attractive female protagonist, have come out recently? Also this game is kinda more dark souls like in combat, less actiony, more deliberate.
I bought this game recently and I’m enjoying it. It’s a bit slow tho.
Screw the straight men and gay women. Where are the himbos in v strings?
Oh, my mind is in FPS stuff, but Twisted Wonderland and other Fujoshi games are popular for that demographic.
Maybe Fashion Police Squad? Someone else mentioned Loadout. Otherwise, be the change you want to see in the world and make Doom WAD.
Someone’s going to make a nude pack for it anyway, doesn’t matter what Sony does
They censored the ramen sign from on to off? Those bastards!
Honestly there are so many skimpy outfits that I wonder if the people who are upset have even actually played the game of if they’re just being loud to make noise.
They really didn’t leave much to the imagination…
The sign did say “hard r”
Hard R 💀
That just feels like an accidental fuckup tbh
It being one of the things they want “uncensored” is revealing.
Aren’t we talking about the cleavage cover and the extra hip cloth in the second image?
I’m not familiar with the twitter brain rot, if they want the racist insinuation back, that’s really something. If the dev caught shit for a weird crop that’s dumb as fuck too but who cares about the graffiti?
I don’t see the difference other then lighting between censored and not
There is an extra fabric covering the clevage on the censored version.
Why was it censored anyways?? Seriously!?
Conspiracy take: They knew that this would spark another wave of controversy, thus keeping the talk about this game up (free marketing). I had nearly forgotten about it (dont care, got no ls5) and now its in my mind again.
That’s more reasonable than face value
PLS take my up vote. Not worth much but it’s all I’ve got
Don’t know, don’t care.
Did you also put your arm up in class to say “i do not know”?
I’m stealing this. Bravo
And more of the hip I guess?
laughs in gay
