Yeah the pearl-clutching whining from the kind of intolerant nutjobs who think sexiness is "mISoGYnY" is one of the reasons I wanted to support the game.

Not that it isn't an excellent game in its own right, but like many others I'm tired of these zealots trying to dictate what media the rest of us are allowed to enjoy.

You seems to really like this game. i'll try the Demo tomorrow. My PC probably can handle it, since it's UE4.

I saw some gameplay, and it looks cool.

I heard rumors that Stellar Blade may be coming for Switch 2.

If that's real, it's crazy to think that it's skipping Xbox, probably because Microsoft doesn't want "suggestive" games on its systems. They refused Steam Heart's & Advanced V.G. Saturn Tribute because it was too "provocative" for them.

I'm not saying that's the true reason, but it might really be the case.

Keep in mind the demo is just the tutorial level and doesn't quite represent the whole game. It had 2 open areas in the game that open sometime after the demo takes place.

The funny thing is they will preach all these morals, then support WWE, which is openly MAGA.

Shift UP made a terrible mistake. Demo is the most average part of the game, kinda weak. The game clicks and gets good right after the third boss and you enter the open world with side questing and then it becomes bonkers fun. The First area and demonising bad but it's not reflective of how amazing this game is, even visually and tonely. 



Finished the demo.

I really enjoyed it! I must admit that I'm not very good at this kind of game (I died more times than I should during the gameplay), but I had quite a lot of fun. Graphics are really good, soundtrack is amazing, and the Brazilian voice acting is great too.

I will pick it up, but for now I have quite a bunch of games to finish. But yeah, it's on my list.

I struggled at first but the more I played the more of a feel and rhythm I got for it. Esp as you get more moves/skills and more powerful.

Yep, same as they claim to oppose bullying and discrimination, yet they bully and discriminate against anyone who doesn't conform to their beliefs.

Thankfully, the success of games like Stellar Blade in spite of all the hate shows such hypocrites are a loud minority.

That's not true in the slightest. The amount of flack Stellar Blade received during the lead up to and shortly after the game's release on Playstation was absurd. The game little fan fair as Project Eve. Then goofballs like Alex Battaglia at DF started making silly comments and people started to pay attenion. Then you had supposedly profressional game reviewers accussing the games director of "never seeing a real woman before". The numerous nimrods on social media talking about how unrealistc Eve's body is despite her figure being scanned from two real life models. Shin Jae-eun and Yoon Seolhwa. The ridiculous backlash was actually one of the main drivers of game success. If the people that hated the game purely because of Eve's apperance had simply STFU, the game wouldn't have sold as well. The funniest thing is the vast majority of the people clutching their pearls at Eve's appearance had social media histories that showed them to be complete hypocrites. 

I agree with everything you said but despite the scanning Shift Up did... enhance Eve, they gave her a case of scoliosis and some outfits change her body, if you flick through them quickly you can see some...enhance her posterior as well as add to that scoliosis which makes her completely unrealistically attractive. I have never seen any woman, super model or whatever have that certain level of perfect posture while also having severe scoliosis but it's all still nonsense cause Eve isn't even human. When Robots are mass produced they'll probably look even better than Eve and have features such as their eyes made larger to make people more trusting of them which will add to attractiveness in a completely unrealistic way. There is nothing wrong with being unrealistic in art either. Hypocrites they indeed are and it only takes one look into a journos prior work to find severe doublethink. 

This is Eve's second body model. Yoon Seolhwa. When Eve's figure is more "exaggerated" it's using her body. I'm not saying they didn't tweak her model at all, but it's not the extent that you think. When I only thought they used Shin Jae-eun, i thought as similary as you. Eve's figure clearly differs depending on her nanosuit.
