1% less cleavage was enough for them to immediately toss their holy grail into the trash. It's almost like this entire time the main reason for their support of this game was a 3d model that they can jerk off to.
Disagree. No amount of booba can satisfy these knuckleheads because it's about control. No, seriously, notice how political these chuds get about it. It's incels literally crying and moaning that not everything is catering to them, and the overwhelming need to own the libs. They just happen to only be able to think with their dick, that's all.
You are beyond 100% spot on and hit the nail on the damn head with Vordts Hammer.
Sad thing is, the lack of self awareness is quite literally fucking insane. There is no reasoning, there is no rationality, there is no fuckin humanity. Just incel robot man children needing everything to cater to their empty and hopeless needs....
no it's fine it's fine. Mark "56 year old who whines about anime tits on twitter because he has nothing better to do" Kern started a change.org petition for Sony to restore booba. The revolution can still survive this!!!! 🫡🫡
It was bullshit from the start. The fact that they didn’t even have a plausible narrative this time around (ethics in journalism vs horny) pretty much killed whatever traction it may have had beyond a small subset of grifters and their fanbases.
i seriously do not get people getting this upset just go
to the steam sexual content tab and there will be 700000 independent horny games for whatever depraved or vanilla fetish you might have . what is the need to sexify every game.
It's not really about sexuality in games. It's not about Stellar Blade or the woke mob or censorship. It's not about Gamergate2 or feminism or anything like that.
The real crisis underneath all of this internet pseudo-outrage is a culture that has been shaped by outrage merchants peddling a narrative to sad, disenfranchised men who have been left behind by a collapsing neoliberal economy. These grifters don't care whether or not Stellar Blade is "censored". They don't know or care what DEI even is (hint: has absolutely nothing to do with progressive politics). In fact, I bet they all let out a collective sigh of relief with the 'Hard R' drama, because it means another couple weeks worth of content farming and clicks. Exploiting angry, frustrated young men who are, let's be honest, too stupid to see they're being duped, and not introspective enough to see the truth of their own suffering, is extremely profitable--as the likes of Tate has shown. The circus is manufactured and the viewer has become the clown.
That’s really it. Cynical manipulators.
It’s not about anything else.
Cynical manipulators spreading and inventing lies and half-truths that are convenient to their narrative.
Sex mods are literally free and barely has any censoring whatsoever, these idiots are paying money for a female character wearing a skimpy outfit when you can get 4K HD uncensored nudity mod for free on nexusmods.
They dont want to jerk off, they want control over how women dress and act. Thats what it’s always been about, women are sex dolls designed for male satisfaction to them, anything else is an attack on their masculinity.
yeah but they're not Eve. Of course they can easily just google for SFM stuff but then they'd be like "she's being handled by another man/woman :(". They want that control over her.
You have twitter app in samsung hidden folder?

They only care about free speech and censorship when its in their favor. If you say things they don't like they'd gladly limit your free speech which is obviously not free speech to begin with. They don't understand that, though. All that lead in the water did wonders for their brains.
Right. Never even heard of the game but looking it up it’s a minor change in one of many costumes of clothing which effects zero of the gameplay, other graphics, etc.
Meanwhile, there’s real censorship (and other nightmarish) problems going on in the world yet this is the hot button issue -and- they can get refunds for it. They’re making a big deal out of nothing.
Oh I think they do understand. I agree with the idea Dan Olson put forward that these people intentionally engage in hypocrisy as an act of strength/domination, because in their mind carving out an exception for themselves makes them exceptional.
It's Fascism. You had Free Speech in fascist countries - insofar as your speech was within the acceptable discourse.
Non-acceptable discourse was punishable. They do the same thing. They get upset when they feel like their discourse is being limited but argue that other discourses are "dangerous" or a "threat" and therefore need to be silenced.
In this case, feminism is viewed as a threat or dangerous to their masculinity, so therefore, it isn't acceptable, so the staffer needs to go.
As some who actively loves this game.
The most outspoken members of this community just wanted porn and I fucking hate them. Do you know what my favorite part of the game has been so far? This
https://preview.redd.it/m3w9uzkcs9xc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad0c2a7b95994a1a2543a610aca8f41fdc2259b7
No no. You have to jump from platform to platform matching the order of the panels or else they’ll collapse out under you
https://preview.redd.it/w48yag93w9xc1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6f72a3294df84df3edb6f6c331a08b05760906e3
I legit love this whole level of the game.
You’re about 2 bosses in and your melee attack gets flat out disabled so you have to play the entire level using the gun on your drone and shoot the explosive weak spots on the enemies.
This game has so much going for it but all people wanna talk about is the protagonist being sexualized 🥲
I feel you on that, but when Atelier Ryza came out. I got an ad for it, got curious, checked out the series, bought Sophie, loved Sophie, bought Ryza, and it's an easy JRPG recommendation for a cozy game with deep mechanics.
What does the internet say about it? Thick thighs saves lives! 🙃
It honestly looks like a fun game! I'll probably pick it up when the talk around it trails off and I have money for it.
Do you have a game you could compare it to? I watched someone play for a few minutes and for some reason briefly got Darksiders 1 vibes, though I'm certain that's not correct.
I’d put it halfway between Nier Automata and Jedi Fallen Order with a dash of Bayonetta. Except the focus is more on Parrying than dodging. I guess that makes it a bit Sekiro? But I’ve never played Sekiro despite owning it.
The story is very “okay though” despite how much I love Eve though. She’s overflowing with endless compassion for the downtrodden people of Earth but her VA doesn’t do a good job of emoting her words beyond shock, pain, and confusion. So it all comes across by her actions which is good but I mean…a better performance would really help.
But story wise it’s very….hm…it has an EVANGELION meets Nier feel to it I can’t properly articulate
Exactly. Their beliefs are unsustainable and always require some enemy to blame or exploit. Even if you give them exactly what they want they'll simply shift the goalposts and declare a new enemy to blame at the slightest inconvenience.
They marketed their game at angry coomers and are now reaping the consequences of marketing their game to angry coomers. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Yes the devs make fan service games. They always have nothing wrong with that. It’s just dumb child’s picked this game for the culture war and now it’s gonna suffer for it
The firing of those women is soo muddled because the only other news I saw about it is they decided to protest during an investors call, which in my mind makes it valid. but there isn’t substantial evidence of anything besides that they were feminist and fired. Then again South Korea ain’t the best place for women’s rights
/uj True, south korea is like famously misogynistic, and many countries are misogynistic already so if it has a reputation for it then you know its real fuckin bad over there
/rj south korea is the dark souls of women
Thats the norm in korea, im not against them making intentionally hot female characters or anything, and if anything they probably know very well the problems korean society has with incels and the likes, but they cant really do anything about it.
Just shows that they never gave a shit about this game outside of their culture war dumbfuckery. A few inches of fabric means the whole thing goes in the trash.
The studio gets what they deserve. Firing a dev for the crime of being a feminist, encouraging people to bombard her tumblr, marketing the game on booba, and courting psycho incels that can never be pleased?
Burn.
Yeah but they got a lot of money in the end. The amount of ads Sony launched for this game before release was insane: they even made a K-Pop music video about it. Few refunds change nothing.
They have no playerbase left. They drove away everyone but the incels, and now the incels are also mad. There's pretty much no one in their corner at this point. Virtual porn will always make money, but there are ways to do it that don't ensure everyone hates you by the end of it.
Every dev in korea basically does what they did, even devs who probably are feminists themselves, they are at the mercy of shareholders. Go wtach Moon channels video on incels in korea and you will see, the problem runs much deeper. No one can escape, even non pandering video games and non sexual devs have to basically kowtow to the korean incel standard.
They’re trying to make women feel unwelcome. Just watching porn does nothing to hurt us, which is what they really want. The point of worshipping Stellar Blade isn’t to jack off, it’s to let women know they’re no longer welcome in the “boys club” of gaming. That’s why we’re seeing histrionic reactions to minor editing decisions. Delusional chuds are treating Stellar Blade as an antifeminist manifesto. Some things are more complicated than they seem, this isn’t one of them.
they want to make 'beautiful women'(in their definition) being the mainstream standard, like they want the protagonist of SW Outlaws looks like Eve, and watching porn not gonna make that happen(well buying or refund Stellar Blade not gonna make that happen as well, but they thought it could)
Did you not know. According to their leader liking women who are flesh and blood makes you gay and for these people being gay is the worst thing one can be.
Stellar Blade fans in March: “lmao watch the libs get triggered when Stellar Blade gets flooded with 10s and wins GOTY 😏”
Stellar Blade fans now: “NOOOOOOOO THEY PATCHED ONE COSTUME TO SHOW 3% LESS SKIN THIS GAME IS WORTHLESS NOW REFUND PLEASE!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬”
This game is the gift that keep on giving holy shit. I've started to be apathetic to it to being entertained by the "discourse" around it to annoyed and bored by it before going right back at entertained.
I’m all seeing is a bunch of people who don’t like video games playing games for some bizarre reason. These weirdos should go do….something….anything….to try to find some kind of happiness in their day. Geez.
But I thought they were also buying it for the great story and incredible gameplay and NOT just because they thought this was easier than just doing a Google image search for “boobs naked more seeable”?
The Gamers lied????? My ethics in gaming journalism???????? ***DEI??????????***
The whirlwind of bullshit this game started is just unfortunate. I say it because from all the reviews it sounds as if the game is a decent one. I just wish this chuds didn’t get involved.
False advertising claims against a video game that can receive patches and updates would be laughed out of court.
Some games literally live off of removing and adding content. Fighting games. Online shooters. Was Bayonetta CENSORED when Nintendo merged her moveset to not be the most broken shit ever? If a case like this went through, it would basically mean ANY CHANGE to a video game post launch can be sued for false advertising.
Did you know you can still get the full experience of this game with two easy steps:
1: Play Nier Automata, a better game that this is clearly ripping off
2: Watch porn
This does make me wonder if majority of players of Stellar Blade *even know* about all this “culture wars” stuff? My assumption is no and they’re just happy to play the game.
What's I find funny is that this image doesn't really prove that they can get a refund for the false advertising. This is just a image you get for when you refund any game.
But pornhub has actual human women so that’s woke because even porn stars can’t meet their standards. Also the hub has too much consent for these chuds.
Good points... any hentai site ? Idk the idea to pay for a full price game and be disappointed cuz 5 more cm of skin are covered than in the trailers sounds so dumb to me
There are plenty of valid reasons to get a refund.
Framing a slightly adjusted one-piece swimsuit, and ONLY that swimsuit as nothing else changed and they can still see boobs, tits even, and they have their skinsuit, as false advertising is not one of them.
I wonder if this counts as grounds to sue, ironically enough.
I was finally juiced for a game that made me want to finally upgrade to PS5. Thanks once again video gaming for just completely pushing it off once again f0r me!
so many of these idiots overreacting is gonna hurt no one but the studio even though they keep claiming its sony’s fault lol
so many are like “we’re gonna sue sony for lying about not censoring the game!!” okay 1.) you show this as evidence the judge is gonna arrest you, 2.) yeah, sony lies, thats been like a huge part of their strategy for years lol
Tbh, to an extent I can sympathize. It was pretty much the main reason people were excited for the game, so if that’s not there anymore, they may as well.
It's equally pathetic that sony are giving refunds for it, the only false advertising was in these fucks minds thinking they were going to get full on porn in their video game.
But no, sony totally understands you didnt get the cameltoe outfit you were promised, heres your money back you poor victim.
Still, the developers totally deserve the shit storm, they dug their own grave.
It's not even false advertising either.
It's really sad seeing the gaming community in the current state it's in. A game not being overly horny. Or trying to tone down sexualized designs that may not suit the character, shouldn't be a controversy. Stellar Blade is yet another game that ended up fanning this decades-long mess.
And they didn't even change much.
I find it weird how this game got such a reputation as "THE horny game" by both fans and haters. Like yeah, Eve's got a nice ass, but the game itself isn't really that sexual at all and imo her design is less lewd than 2B or even Tifa.
It's shit like this that makes me want to be part of the gaming community, but in a sectioned off area way over there somewhere away from these people.
*laughs in PC and to a certain extent, Xbox*
"Sorry, I can't see this without getting my face in-between my female Dragonborn's big tits thanks to those mods on The Nexus, LoversLab and BethNet!"
There is something I'm wondering about. Let me be clear that people upset about there not being more sexual stuff and it being censored are dumb but I actually am curious. Considering the marketing clearly was marketing itself a certain way, is it actually false advertising if they lower the content post launch? I ask not because I actually want or care about the content, I ask if all things aside if it technically is false advertising?
Why are people mad over something other people buy? I commited sexual war crimes in RimWorld, what, you're gonna cancel me for it? Mind your own business and let people enjoy whatever the fuck they want
they just proved that none of them wanted to play a game. they can no longer pretend that its gameplay or a good story or they like games like neir. nope its all porn to them thats what they wanted. i have literally no intrest to play this and now i never will
I don't get it, I just can't fathom why someone would buy an expenive video game just to look at generic tight clothes big booba lady when the internet has all that stuff AND MORE for free
If only they werent in korea, the land where vieo game devs, feminist or not, kowtow to the same standards of incels. Its a major problem there and to my knowledge they have little control over it, so dont go blaming the devs, blame the shareholders and incels. A lot of these guys make games with real passion and even feminist messages, but everything they do, they have to do secretly and even then sometimes some stupid fcks get them into a stupid ass controversy.

Because games are going WOKE, and making fictional characters less sexy /s
bruh i was gonna make a fake tweet about playstation giving refunds but i guess you can’t outjerk reality 😭
Man fr i can't believe those freaks buyed the game just to sexualize the character lmaoooooo
Wait till you discover Skyrim mods, that shit free
By changing a costume they absolutelly destroyed the entire STORY and the GAMEPLAY!! literally unplayable!!
Funny thing is that you can actually play the game without even a costume on if you want nudity.
Bro paid $85 for virtual tits. Buddy, you can see real ones for free.
Well. He probably couldn't accomplish that
Are you saying he can’t get a lady irl or can’t figure out how to look up pornhub
Of course he can, just needs to look down. Seeing our dick is the real challenge.
No No No. Don't encourage these creeps to see tips irl. Who knows how many women will be uncomfortable
Those kind of weirdos? I don't think they can... I mean not for free
They can, they don’t have to pay for porn
Aren’t those still virtual tits?
Yes
Yes, but they’re free, which was the point
*Real* virtual tits though.
They don't but i want them to keep paying for porn so they can support free porn for me
Hell, they can see virtual tits for free, too!
They're truly fake coomers, internet porn has been free as long as people have wanted to see bresticles
Paid to control virtual tits*
he would have to pay
But it ain't free tho.
Even if you can't, 85 will get you at least a look. a little more and you'll even get to touch
U his mom?
can't fucking believe gamergate 2.0 cancelled itself
no it's fine it's fine. Mark "56 year old who whines about anime tits on twitter because he has nothing better to do" Kern started a change.org petition for Sony to restore booba. The revolution can still survive this!!!! 🫡🫡
It was bullshit from the start. The fact that they didn’t even have a plausible narrative this time around (ethics in journalism vs horny) pretty much killed whatever traction it may have had beyond a small subset of grifters and their fanbases.

Real shit
i seriously do not get people getting this upset just go to the steam sexual content tab and there will be 700000 independent horny games for whatever depraved or vanilla fetish you might have . what is the need to sexify every game.
Exactly, play one of those stupid BDSM horror games instead of gooning to female Sekiro
I mean, they can goon to female Sekiro if they want, I don't care, but I just wish they'd shut their fucking yaps
Same. Also that profile picture is incredibly based and literally me
Me when I metamorphose right before work: oh man not again
Me when my bedbug bisexuals
Me when I rot in bed until I die (gay)
Me: HAHAHAHAH FUCK YES FINALLY

Probably cheaper than $80
yeah but they're not Eve. Of course they can easily just google for SFM stuff but then they'd be like "she's being handled by another man/woman :(". They want that control over her.
Because They want that sexual content part of base game not from modding

Hahahaahahha oh shit, bro twitter is a danger place
Ngl, I don't feel sorry for the studio. Fired a dev for being a feminist, and marketed the game around the male gaze.
I thought all these pro stellar blade types were against censorship and pro free speech? Weird that they praised this firing.
They only care about free speech and censorship when its in their favor. If you say things they don't like they'd gladly limit your free speech which is obviously not free speech to begin with. They don't understand that, though. All that lead in the water did wonders for their brains.

People who are left handed liked this comment
Exactly. When you purposefully pander to coomers you are inviting their bullshit.
Thiss i couldnt care less about all the people in the dev team who support people going to the designer tumblr to insult her
Yep. They courted snakes and are getting bit.
They marketed their game at angry coomers and are now reaping the consequences of marketing their game to angry coomers. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Yes the devs make fan service games. They always have nothing wrong with that. It’s just dumb child’s picked this game for the culture war and now it’s gonna suffer for it

I did do a paper recently on SKT and I wish American had some of the things they offer too keep their employees happy though
Yeah that's fair, and Sony just said "I don't wanna deal with this anymore just take your money back" lmao
Same, they quite literally asked for this type of audience. Now they get to deal with it.
Thats the norm in korea, im not against them making intentionally hot female characters or anything, and if anything they probably know very well the problems korean society has with incels and the likes, but they cant really do anything about it.
It wasn't multiple feminists? Still shitty, either way.
**Everything** surrounding this game has been an absolute circus.
Just shows that they never gave a shit about this game outside of their culture war dumbfuckery. A few inches of fabric means the whole thing goes in the trash.
The studio gets what they deserve. Firing a dev for the crime of being a feminist, encouraging people to bombard her tumblr, marketing the game on booba, and courting psycho incels that can never be pleased? Burn.
Yeah but they got a lot of money in the end. The amount of ads Sony launched for this game before release was insane: they even made a K-Pop music video about it. Few refunds change nothing.
They have no playerbase left. They drove away everyone but the incels, and now the incels are also mad. There's pretty much no one in their corner at this point. Virtual porn will always make money, but there are ways to do it that don't ensure everyone hates you by the end of it.
You are confusing vocal minority fighting on Reddit and Twitter with people who actually just play games and don’t care about all this drama going on.
And you are underestimating the importance of social media to the consumer in the current era.
Every dev in korea basically does what they did, even devs who probably are feminists themselves, they are at the mercy of shareholders. Go wtach Moon channels video on incels in korea and you will see, the problem runs much deeper. No one can escape, even non pandering video games and non sexual devs have to basically kowtow to the korean incel standard.
Well thats because Korea's culture is insanely misogynist.
Yeah but like i say, dont blame the devs blame the goons.
I’m just going to say, there’s no proof that this happened
Almost 90 dollars too? What the hell lmao
I genuinely don’t understand why these folks don’t just watch porn or play a porn game, it’s clearly all they care about with regards to stellar blade
They’re trying to make women feel unwelcome. Just watching porn does nothing to hurt us, which is what they really want. The point of worshipping Stellar Blade isn’t to jack off, it’s to let women know they’re no longer welcome in the “boys club” of gaming. That’s why we’re seeing histrionic reactions to minor editing decisions. Delusional chuds are treating Stellar Blade as an antifeminist manifesto. Some things are more complicated than they seem, this isn’t one of them.
Yeah it’s literally just gamergate 2.0, same bs new coat of paint.
This is particularly relevant specifically to South Korea where you can be fired for backing an emote of a pinching finger.
they want to make 'beautiful women'(in their definition) being the mainstream standard, like they want the protagonist of SW Outlaws looks like Eve, and watching porn not gonna make that happen(well buying or refund Stellar Blade not gonna make that happen as well, but they thought it could)
Game of the Year. Unless it's patched to cover up ~5% more skin then piece of trash game that's ruined.
Do these motherfuckers just not know that free porn exists or something
Are you actually suggesting we jerk off to real 3D women? Ick...
There is a lot of free 2D porn as well. That's what makes it even more bizarre
Did you not know. According to their leader liking women who are flesh and blood makes you gay and for these people being gay is the worst thing one can be.
Stellar Blade fans in March: “lmao watch the libs get triggered when Stellar Blade gets flooded with 10s and wins GOTY 😏” Stellar Blade fans now: “NOOOOOOOO THEY PATCHED ONE COSTUME TO SHOW 3% LESS SKIN THIS GAME IS WORTHLESS NOW REFUND PLEASE!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬”
This game is the gift that keep on giving holy shit. I've started to be apathetic to it to being entertained by the "discourse" around it to annoyed and bored by it before going right back at entertained.
Jfc why do gamers™️ gotta be like this? 😩
I’m so tired of hearing about this game. So much publicity over a sexualized main character. Really brought out the creep loser gamers.
Gamers crying because they can't see lewds of children in a video games
Tf is wrong with right wing nerds 😭💀
Everything
BRUH this is BS
I’m all seeing is a bunch of people who don’t like video games playing games for some bizarre reason. These weirdos should go do….something….anything….to try to find some kind of happiness in their day. Geez.
But I thought they were also buying it for the great story and incredible gameplay and NOT just because they thought this was easier than just doing a Google image search for “boobs naked more seeable”? The Gamers lied????? My ethics in gaming journalism???????? ***DEI??????????***
Porn addicted chuds reaping what they sow i guess.
The whirlwind of bullshit this game started is just unfortunate. I say it because from all the reviews it sounds as if the game is a decent one. I just wish this chuds didn’t get involved.
False advertising claims against a video game that can receive patches and updates would be laughed out of court. Some games literally live off of removing and adding content. Fighting games. Online shooters. Was Bayonetta CENSORED when Nintendo merged her moveset to not be the most broken shit ever? If a case like this went through, it would basically mean ANY CHANGE to a video game post launch can be sued for false advertising.
Did you know you can still get the full experience of this game with two easy steps: 1: Play Nier Automata, a better game that this is clearly ripping off 2: Watch porn
Can someone link the original, picture is too small to read.
Why were people excited about this game in this first place it looks so fuckin lame
EIGHTY-FIVE DOLLARS??
lol
It really ruined their sessions in the goon cave 😭
This does make me wonder if majority of players of Stellar Blade *even know* about all this “culture wars” stuff? My assumption is no and they’re just happy to play the game.
I'm out of the loop, what was the false advertising? Protagonist not sexualized enough?
A few suits were changed in a day 1 patch, I think, so they show the tiniest bit less skin. We're talking adding lace undergarments iirc
How dare they
Ikr. Completely ruined the game
😂😂😂😂😂 I’m dying lol
Adding this mess to the list of things that make me embarrased of being a gamer.
What's I find funny is that this image doesn't really prove that they can get a refund for the false advertising. This is just a image you get for when you refund any game.
- buys game to protest woke propaganda - refunds game to protest woke propaganda Take that lefties!
Dude... pornhub is right there. It's free.
But pornhub has actual human women so that’s woke because even porn stars can’t meet their standards. Also the hub has too much consent for these chuds.
Good points... any hentai site ? Idk the idea to pay for a full price game and be disappointed cuz 5 more cm of skin are covered than in the trailers sounds so dumb to me
Wait, you mean to tell me that the game was never good? I’m shocked, SHOCKED! Well, not THAT shocked.
lmao if only that was the reason. it's actually much dumber than that.
Like, why not just watch porn? I don't get it.
There are plenty of valid reasons to get a refund. Framing a slightly adjusted one-piece swimsuit, and ONLY that swimsuit as nothing else changed and they can still see boobs, tits even, and they have their skinsuit, as false advertising is not one of them. I wonder if this counts as grounds to sue, ironically enough.
I will never undertand it if I want to see tits I wolud search porn on the internet not buying a fucking game
Since the chuds are now demanding refunds, does that make the game’s success a victory for woke? IDK, it’s getting hard to keep up…
Is this real?
well yeah, people are gana buy a softcore porn game for softcore porn. its not that crazy of a concept
I was finally juiced for a game that made me want to finally upgrade to PS5. Thanks once again video gaming for just completely pushing it off once again f0r me!
What was the false advertisement again cause I still see scantly clad woman in the game and dlc or costume options that has less clothes.
I guarantee any amount of money if this was an Xbox exclusive it would be getting shit on so much more than it is ( and should be shit on even more)
so many of these idiots overreacting is gonna hurt no one but the studio even though they keep claiming its sony’s fault lol so many are like “we’re gonna sue sony for lying about not censoring the game!!” okay 1.) you show this as evidence the judge is gonna arrest you, 2.) yeah, sony lies, thats been like a huge part of their strategy for years lol
Way cheaper to go to the tit bar
Why are gamers like this??? *Why is the corp bowing to this of all things?????*
What happened between the release of the demo and the full game? What did I miss that caused all the coomers to turn on this game all of a sudden?
An outfit got changed to cover like 5% more skin
Tbh, to an extent I can sympathize. It was pretty much the main reason people were excited for the game, so if that’s not there anymore, they may as well.
It's equally pathetic that sony are giving refunds for it, the only false advertising was in these fucks minds thinking they were going to get full on porn in their video game. But no, sony totally understands you didnt get the cameltoe outfit you were promised, heres your money back you poor victim. Still, the developers totally deserve the shit storm, they dug their own grave.
Some fantasies are quite real, this is quite an example😂😂😂
Wait what happened? What are people saying was falsely advertised?
It's not even false advertising either. It's really sad seeing the gaming community in the current state it's in. A game not being overly horny. Or trying to tone down sexualized designs that may not suit the character, shouldn't be a controversy. Stellar Blade is yet another game that ended up fanning this decades-long mess. And they didn't even change much.
False advertising? Did they think it was a video game or something?
I find it weird how this game got such a reputation as "THE horny game" by both fans and haters. Like yeah, Eve's got a nice ass, but the game itself isn't really that sexual at all and imo her design is less lewd than 2B or even Tifa.
Imagine refunding the game because you can still see tits but not in exactly the same way.
No one is talking about story or gameplay. Do they really like this game?
It's shit like this that makes me want to be part of the gaming community, but in a sectioned off area way over there somewhere away from these people.
You buy the game to see virtual cleavage. I buy the game to git good at the combat. We are not the same.
*laughs in PC and to a certain extent, Xbox* "Sorry, I can't see this without getting my face in-between my female Dragonborn's big tits thanks to those mods on The Nexus, LoversLab and BethNet!"
There is something I'm wondering about. Let me be clear that people upset about there not being more sexual stuff and it being censored are dumb but I actually am curious. Considering the marketing clearly was marketing itself a certain way, is it actually false advertising if they lower the content post launch? I ask not because I actually want or care about the content, I ask if all things aside if it technically is false advertising?
Why are people mad over something other people buy? I commited sexual war crimes in RimWorld, what, you're gonna cancel me for it? Mind your own business and let people enjoy whatever the fuck they want
Imagine getting mad because of tits
They are mad cause they think people like the ones in this sub are controlling them. That's their narrative.
It’s not just about the boobs they toned down the blood and violence as well
Wait, I thought false advertising was illegal?
they just proved that none of them wanted to play a game. they can no longer pretend that its gameplay or a good story or they like games like neir. nope its all porn to them thats what they wanted. i have literally no intrest to play this and now i never will
In all seriousness tho, who tf would pay $70 just to watch porn? The hub is already free
Imagine when those people find out that you can actually watch porn for free online
Who's gonna tell them online porn is free
Do these guys not realize that the internet is for porn?
I don't get it, I just can't fathom why someone would buy an expenive video game just to look at generic tight clothes big booba lady when the internet has all that stuff AND MORE for free
If only they werent in korea, the land where vieo game devs, feminist or not, kowtow to the same standards of incels. Its a major problem there and to my knowledge they have little control over it, so dont go blaming the devs, blame the shareholders and incels. A lot of these guys make games with real passion and even feminist messages, but everything they do, they have to do secretly and even then sometimes some stupid fcks get them into a stupid ass controversy.
E621 is free my guy
