With the amount of shill threads about Stellar Blade I kept seeing on 4chan /v/ saying it was a "decent action game" I ended up buying it along with some other games for my brother's birthday last year (at great expense as it's a modern video game and all). He never touched it so I finally gave the demo a go myself to see if it was worth the hype.
It was a Sekiro-like. and not even that great a one. It almost seems like it was hyped to shit because it had attractive girls in skintight suits and almost only because of that. I had more fun with Devil's Third of all games.

Look at his entire filmography none of his films have ever been sex-obsessed and he's even gone out of his way to make fun of such attitudes in certain films like Napoleon. The phallic imagery discussion cope was invented by bored gender studies degree holders decades later who wanted to stir up controversy over a very un-erotic film made by a non-porn-obsessed director.
>>46468Pretty sure that the statuesque Sigourney Weaver herself said that the movie was about male rape.
>>46469Ok, so they humans are females and aliens are reptile brained rapists and the predators are?
>>46472The predators kind of fall out of the analysis of Alien because they were a completely separate thing that got stapled onto the Alien universe later.
I suppose you could subject it to the same critical lense though since the movie follows similar tropes and conventions to the slasher genre that also came to prominence in the late 70s-80s.
>>46476Quit listening to this lib
>>46486He's a lib and a white supremacist
>>45643is all of 4chan chud now? I thought that was only /pol/
>>45716Dont chuds generally hate it and consider it kinda "woke"?
>>46527The Chuds hated this because the creative director and lead writer was Jewish, and the game portrayed Jews as a minority that was unjustly persecuted for no reason and in a caricatured way, rather than for reasons like blood libel (I think it was something like that—I don't remember).
>>45716the second one is way less jank and a lot easier, but the first does have its charm once you get used to it
>>46529I dont get it as the guy is a big chud and his feed is full of typical right-wing stuff
>>45716I didn't play this because is in czech republic and I hate the zionist scum know as the czech
>>46486>>46520He's attacking a game that is just as lewd if not far less lewd than Baldurs Gate 3. The difference is that Stellar Blade is Korean. He's ok if the Westernoids are lewd. He's a pink white supremacist.
>>46560Except he doesn't attack stellar blade at all. He just has mild criticisms about it being mid.
>>46538and a gay sex option with your best friend
>>46589They tried to say it's because Capon is underage by historical facts even though he's clearly not actually underage even in the first game
>>46590Though I do think it would have been more interesting if they had actually had a realistic portrayal of him as a 15 year old but that's a different argument
>>46584He did attack it. He claimed that it was objectifying the main character.
>>465224chan generally isn't class conscious and has political compass brain so you're really not gonna get any coherent point of view
>>46631That's not even an attack you gameroid.
>buying a gooner game ever
ishygddt
>>45706What's wrong with Warlockcracy? Isn't he just a liberal?
>>46749People calling it a gooner game are the real objectifiers, being goonable doesn't necessarily mean it's gooner as in a straight up porn game. Yoko taro the creator of Nier praised the game even though people say it's a Nier clone to attack the game but nobody says that the gazillion mediaeval European fantasy games are clones of eachother.
>>46775>People calling it a gooner game are the real objectifiersyou posted the same retarded shit twice even though no one is talking about "objectification". look if you got your 60 dollars worth then that's fine but i won't spend that cash for a gooner game when there's lots of better quality gooner shit out there in the world just waiting for me to pirate it
>>46462>f you can overlook the tacky outfits, there is no sexualisation in the game cutscenes or story, no romance, sex or even kissing.yes that shit is weird, even shaun thought it was weird, the mark of a gooner game is indeed the fact that the people making the game cant comprehend tits and ass as anything but a titillating, errr, object, something to be seen but fundamentally divorced from every other aspect because that would require giving the robot lady some depth. or in other words, they're able to model a hot lady for their game but they're unable to write a hot lady in their story. at this point i feel people should have understood that everyone is fine with sexy characters if the character is built around being extremely sexually overt, like bayonetta, but this is a fantasy gooners cant invest themselves in, because it comes across as female empowerment to them when sexual attractiveness is acknowledged in-game and the character acts upon it, flaunts it, etc.
>>46777>>46777It's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation and the devs skirted it perfectly just enough to be polarising as the game is. just because you're beautiful/sexy doesn't mean you necessarily have to 'be' anything personality wise, people are mad because they have their preconceived notions and project it onto the game and weaponise it in the culture war while the devs laugh to the bank.
>>46778>It's a damned if you do, damned if you don'tit's really not. i just think it's hacky characterization and reminds me of marvel movies (which also have AAA-tier bodies but everyone is inhumanly asexual). the game was released and then went away without pain or glory, really, and the drama around it was vastly overstated by a 60 year old pedophile who spends too much time online. they could have done either thing.
>>46777>they're unable to write a hot lady in their storyWhy would you have to care about the character "acting" attractive? This depends on the personality of the character and the culture the game is produced in.
>>46808Helps with immersion, if she dress like a slut and is one.
Then the problem becomes obviously that you can't have both pure virgin waifu uwu and extremely sexual woman in the same archetype without it being ridiculous, which I think is a bigger problem than having it be "too empowering" for the woman, because both of those are the market for gooner/waifu game and you want to hit them both at the same time
>>46808it would make every character act a little bit less like carton cutouts with no real interiority?
apparently voices38 has cracked stellar blade, so i know what i will be playing this weekend
>>46875voices38 is the GOAT for buckbreaking denuvocucks
all 2026 releases are guaranteed to be cracked day 1 thanks to his tools
don't like stellar blade but I respect his one man crusade to kill off a DRM company
>>46876jesus christ you're right, fucking pragmata is cracked, it's like christmas lmao
i cant believe this coomerbait slop has unskippable cutscenes what the fuck
>>46889Unskippable cutscenes are always implied in gooner games thobeit?
>>46890i thought everyone skipped porn movies to the actual substantive portion, i don't want to watch a disembodied operator speak orders while space battles are happening in the background, i want to see the titillating stuff
ok another thing is that the game design fucking blows? why waste a decent combat if all levels are scavenging for sci-fi keys to open doors or whatever the fuck. what do you mean i need to type access keys manually. what the fuck
>>46912Uyghur you unironically downloaded and started playing a porn game. What were you expecting? Red Dead Redemption 2?
>>46917Not sure lol but I sure as hell wasn't expecting garden of banban lmfao
ok last post i swear but shaun nails it when he calls this game like a budget hack n slash from the ps2 era. this is a simple 2000 game in sexy lingerie in lieu of disguise, it really is a pretty similar experience to oneechanbara, perhaps even a lesser one bcause at least oneechanbara knows what it is, whereas this game is pretentious as fuuuuck
>>46775Why isn't Baldur's Gate 3 a gooner game then?
Trailer for stellar blade: blood rain just dropped, seems people are complaining about 'pedophilia' and the developers dropped a tweet saying 'we don't care'.
>>47053Because you can simply choose to avoid all the "gooner" content in a massive RPG like BG3, making it as much of a "gooner" game as any other RPG like Mass Effect. Stellar Blade, on the other hand, is very unapologetic about being deliberately designed around "flattering" sexualized camera angles of their main protagonist and her "assets" which are constantly being shoved in your face at every turn in an annoying and obnoxious way.
>>47056They're not shoved in your face, there is actually no sexualisation or 'fan service' in the game apart from the revealing outfits which you can choose to wear or not apart from the default skin suit you start with.
