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.
In a normal world this would've been a budget game no one would've paid attention to but thanks to culture war nonsense and gacha money fueling the budget an Onechanbara tier game is now AAA and being played by everyone instead of a niche group of people
>buy
>>45646he has a ps5, so yes, the physical disc release. or should i say,
>bought a perpetual physical license to play the game >>45643>It almost seems like it was hyped to shit because it had attractive girls in skintight suits and almost only because of that.I don't wanna make fun of you, but, yeah, IDK why you thought that made it good
>>45648>"it's a solid action game guys really please play it">sells 3 million copiesi always presumed it was actually okay, it was only.after i bought it for him and then later played the demo on pc myself that i realised "this really is just shitty goonbait"
i watched shaun play it for his video and it obviously sucked ass lol but ngl the literal bimbo robot look hot
bro the aesthetics are laughably awful. The mismatch between the kawaii anime titty girls and the grotesque demons is like what you get from asset flipping completely random shit.
>>45648>>45643It got hyped solely due to culture war shit, they convinced themselves every leftist was freaking out about it because it has some big titted robot girl(which of course is something every leftist hates o algo) and thought that there was a massive conspiracy to make it woke and gay because a few of the outfits added extra pixels or some shit
when rightoid neckbeards got together to make their own "real" game awards, this got nominated and voted for top spots, and chuds still lose their shit if you admit it was just mid as fuck
Eve is fucking hot though
>>45695I got this one too
Its funny because this was the game with the most complex gameplay and it sold like shit. People really just like this series for the tits
Also a rant, every character has the same body model so Daidoji never had abs in game. It had me seething
>>45698He's definetly a chud who leans deeply in the right and all chuds are cringe and gay and will one day die, but he's very cheeky and tee hee about it while others like razorfist will scream their opinions in the middle of a review unprompted. There are chuds that are easier to hate out there, and I like some of the shit he talks about like Amazing Cultivation Simulator
Haven't watched him in years though
>>45698He is cool and ironic about it. The one game reviewer with political opinions who truly deserves a painful death is Warlockcracy. His people are the actual fascists of our times
>>45704>it's actually funny because most if not half his known friends are lowkey or highkey leftist or at least center-leftMarge, his friends like Metokur, Cr1tikal, PatricianTV, Mandalore etc. are either centrist or far-right. Not that it has any bearing on his qualities as a YouTuber but come on now.
>>45701My chvd radar was locked on him for a couple of years but after watching a VOD of his and newer videos I am not so sure anymore
>>45695Senran Kagura kinda blows but it's also unapologetically a simple2000 series spinoff, it's cheap in price and execution and it has an endearing kuso vibe I think
>>45643/v/ promoting mediocre garbage because it has a hot girl in sexy clothing in it has become something of a theme.
Old /v/ is dead. The days of it being a good spot to find discussion about hidden gems are long gone. These days, /v/ shills for gooner games of dubious quality and brags about them if they're not outright scams.
>>45716It's a AA kickstarter game, so it's going to feel jank. Especially the voice acting feels really weird. You'll be talking to a guy from Germany one second then a monk who seems like he's from Vermont the next.
Regardless, it's one of my favorite games I've played this decade.
KCD2 is a lot less jank, and quite a bit bigger. Quality all around is a lot better, but I didn't care for the marvel style humor they put in occasionally. Still a great game.
>>45698one of these games is not like the others
>>45719Bills have to be payed.
>>45698>>45701No, he is not a chud, the edgy humour have gernered him chud audience, but he makes fun of them and from what I heard he purged his discord of those types some time ago.
>>45720he could disclose that shit I think, it's lowkey a bit scummy to just shove it in rec lists like that
>>45723He did, in a review. Although he did mention that he has been playing it for years, so it might be completely genuine recommendation.
>>45722he doesn't even do the Merchants Guild joke anymore :(
>>45722>>45708>>45728I'll believe it, though people say the same thing about that cunt vtuber Pippa Pipkin too and I couldn't care less about her "changing"
>>45728iirc the guy is like a med postgrad, like a surgeon or some hot shit like that and lowkey college makes you less of a chud
>>45735Wasn't that just because she's friend with Kirshe,who is a turbo /pol/tard ?
>>45747No? Pipkin outwardly admits she's a /pol/ user and streams for that audience. I'm not even sure what the other anon is talking about when he said people told him she's "reformed" because it's not like she denies being a 4cucker or streaming to that audience still, hell she did a stream with Metokur and still reacts to his content. But honestly that could be said for like, 90% vtubers anyways so it's not like shes unique in that regard.
>>45735vtubers aren't allowed to change, it's in their contract.
they're essentially glorified sex workers.
>>45717Basically every gacha game people obsess over
The same people who talk about how women are ruining games and that's why they're no longer fun then get addicted to some shitty phone game where they gamble all their money away just to get one png
>>45754>literal (LITERAL) avatar<le fe/male gazedo americans go to college just to make this videoessay slop
>glorified sex workersonly a retard could compare immiserated prostitutes to someone recording themselves playing video games
i dunno how the male gaze/female gaze shit become such a confusing concept, isn't it supposed to be a term meant for cinema? like the camera is meant to be recording the male perspective and focusing on a (usually female) subject in an implicitly objectifying way. the male gaze IS literally what's on camera contextualized as the POV of a male character, not what the male viewer is supposed to take away from their subjective experience of watching a movie. seems something more akin to the kuleshov effect than whatever that vtuber nonsense is. i didnt go to college THOUGH
>>45759at this point prostitutes have more freedom than the average vtoober
The concept of the male gaze comes from Laura Mulvey in her 1975 essay “Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema.” Mulvey's work was based on the psychoanalytic theories of Jean-Paul Sartre and Jacques Lacan (pseudoscience). You are wasting your time on idpol baizuo garbage.
>>45769So what specifically is your issue with her essay?
>>45754This picture is inherently flawed because the only people who watch Gura and her current persona Saba are literal pedophiles who prefer the one on the right. Saba even got in trouble because she pandered to them with an exposed stomach emote and had to remove it after people rightfully pushed back.
>>45771idk i stay away from vtoobers as much as i can
>>45695unironically enjoyed burst's story and the infinite combos you can do, to the point i stopped caring about the coombait entirely. the last entries of the franchise leaned way too hard into it for my taste. i don't even know if they have a story to speak of.
>>45759>do americans go to college just to make this videoessay slopUnironically yes, and this bullshit predates YouTube video essays by decades. If anything, YouTube just popularized the popular American academoid pastime of overthinking slop entertainment.
There are people to this day who think the movie Alien is about rape and feminism. They even got the creators to "confirm" it (decades later.)
>>45922>There are people to this day who think the movie Alien is about rapeAnon, have you watched the fucking movie?
>>46464Alien is not about rape it is a lament for the American industrial working class getting destroyed by Reaganomics as increasing corporate power slowly wipes them out. The alien is a cipher - a stand in for the wealthy preying on and abusing the helpless workers as they slowly get demolished and eaten as the alien (bourgeoisie) grow increasingly powerful.
>>46466so the imagery is just giger fucking around with penises because he loves them and the director share this intense fetish with him ?
>>46467Ridley Scott is one of the most basic bitch hollywood directors to have ever had a career and Alien was only his second film. 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.
>>46775i almost guarantee yoko taro didnt play 5 minutes of stellar blade lol
>>47060That would make nier and automata gooner games as well
>>47061you play like a little lad in schoolboy shorts for like 60% of the game
>>45754>>45771You ever feel like modern internet leftists are completely out of touch with The Youth?
Because this thread has convinced me. Some of you guys really just hate fun.
>>47054I unironically love Evie's design so much.
>>47063Twitter isn't the "modern internet," nor can twitter users that call themselves leftists be reasonably considered leftists.
Of course they're out of touch, they spend their online time on twitter instead of touching digital grass.
>>47064I agree but somehow their ideas infect the greater "online left" even leftypol itself.
I wish I knew where "real leftists" hang out online to discuss things under a proper Marxist lens and not just reacting to culture wars through pure emotion.
>>47061uhhh… yeah. dont you remember that was the main thing people said about it when it came out
>>47062( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
>>47063I don't care if a game is 'goonbait' if it's actually good, from what I hear this isn't, and the only reason anyone cared about it is because they thought they were owning the feminists by buying it. dumb shit.
>>47065>I wish I knew where "real leftists" hang out online to discuss things under a proper Marxist lens and not just reacting to culture wars through pure emotion.some people say lemmy is good, idk.
goonbait is less about the aesthetic content itself and more about the lack of anything else. you can slice it any way you want, stellar blade looks and feels like a budget knockoff game, it has nothing to say, and it offers nothing to the player except the blandest hack n slash experience imaginable. its only differentiating asset vs any asset flip is the extremely hot beautifully rendered playable protagonist, but everything else, it's subpar and mediocre. thus gooner game.
>>47068that's an extremely reductive interpretation of the game that basically indicates you already decided you hate the game before even playing it just through online discourse.
please be honest if you're gonna call a game goonbait. is the game hypersexualized? yes. but it isn't a porn game. it has solid gameplay and the devs very clearly put effort into it. the soundtrack is pretty well received. the action and gameplay is well reviewed by people who enjoy the genre. the story is pretty much identical to every other action rpg, so nothing special but also not offensively bad. if it weren't for Eve (and now Evie) being "the wrong kind of sexy" we would not be pretending it's a bad game.
You could replace Stellar Blade's protagonist with Pinocchio from Lies of P and the same game journalists would be praising it for its "visceral tight combat" and "beautifully rendered graphics" but because the protagonist is a beautiful lady😍🥰 an entire demographic of terminally online dumbasses decided to build their entire identity around hating this game lol. and don't get me wrong, I think Lies of P is a 10/10 game and one of the best soulslikes ever made. But I also think Stellar Blade is Fine. It's better or on par with Code Vein and I would classify that as a "good" action game for fans of the genre.
I also find it pretty funny that critics of the first game were up in arms over Eve being a hypersexualized unrealistic bimbo sex doll. So the devs took that criticism and made Evie into a more realistic average girl with a slim athletic build. And game journos are STILL shitting their pants over it. I don't understand the feminist line here or how it advances womens interests to shit on every depiction of female beauty in games. games are supposed to be fantasy just let people enjoy things goddamn.
>>47069are you sure that this game actually had this huge hate movement against it? cause it seems to me that there was 100x more chuds talking about this game is being censored than anyone actually being offended by it
>>47069>that's an extremely reductive interpretation of the game that basically indicates you already decided you hate the game before even playing iti've been documenting my experience with this game in this thread, i pirated it with voices38's patch. i stopped playing it the third time it made me push boxes. roughly 70% of the game are linear corridors where you fetch keys and solve simple puzzles, the sort of content which mostly acts as padding. literal garten of banban game design, that's a game for toddlers btw. side quests are even worse, they're less than content, they're mere busywork, literal chores. combat is serviceable at best, but it gets old quick because there's no variety to it, there's no skill ceiling to dominate, enemies are retarded sponges that literally execute the same moves over and over, after encountering tachy or whatever the fuck i decided the game is trash. i gave it a lot more patience than this piece of shit for simpletons deserves.
>You could replace Stellar Blade's protagonist with Pinocchio from Lies of P and the same game journalists would be praising it for its "visceral tight combat"they would not.
>>47072ok, so some videogame bloggers/etc who probably get viewed by like 10000 people in total. wow. that kinda reinforces my point that chuds talked about this 100x more
>>47072chuds are the only ones boosting this shit game, there's no "discourse" in xitter outside of a few pockets of twitch streamer discourse and they're mostly concerned with hasan piker's breakfast or whatever
>>47073Those people have larger audiences than the average chud tho. Outside of Asmongoy. And he hates Stellar Blade 2 as well despite being friends with a bunch of convicted pedophiles.
>>47074I'm not sure if it's only chuds discussing it, but this game is probably the most discussed reveal from the past week of game announcement shows. Even more than Resident Evil or Persona 6. Go to 4chan /v/ and half the threads are about Stellar Blade Blood Rain. Go to Neogaf and there's currently a 400 post thread about Stellar Blade Blood Rain at the top of the board. Go to Twitter or Youtube and it's the single most watched game trailer out of all the reveals. Go to /r/gamingcirclejerk and Evie is at the top of the subreddit. Go to /r/gaming and the reveal trailer is the most discussed thread on the entire subreddit in the past week. I would say in terms of publicity this reveal has been extremely successful.
>>47075Ok fine, so there is yet another culture war about stellar blade, none of those people are on this board, we just made fun of it because chuds went so insane about it and it's apparently mid, I never heard of this game until it was getting white knighted.
You should be able to put whatever sexy people in your game you want, even if some people are offended by it, who gives a fuck
>>47072She looks like a child, though. It's actually crazy if you say that on Twitter, you would be jumped by chuds
>>47077her model is 33.
she looks like standard asian beauty standards.
to say she looks like a child kind of just reeks of white people seething about different cultures having different beauty standards. it's just cultural imperialism tbqh. if you don't like it that's fine but turning personal taste into some moralist spiel is just obnoxious lol.
>>47078>white people seething about different cultureskorea weebs have been seething over the letter c. there's not that much different
>images and videothat looks like a white kid
>>47078Nah, it looks like a child, and from what I've seen in the discourse, most people agree. Korean beauty standards often emphasize features associated with looking younger or more childlike
>>47080>Korean beauty standards often emphasize features associated with looking younger or more childlikethat's basically every asian culture not just koreans. even chinese emphasize youth above anything else in a woman.
there's a distinction that should be made here between "appearing youthful" and "actually being underage" though. pedophilia is pretty heavily ostracized even in asia. we should be able to enjoy youthful-looking characters without getting into convos about the "facial structure of consent" or "beauty standard of consent" tbh. neoteny is just a biological trait that is present in all asian women when compared to any other race of women, it's something that is distinctly part of their culture's interpretation of beauty rooted in the biology of their women. we shouldn't ask them to deemphasize it and adhere to western standards just because white people find it icky.
>>47079>korea weebs have been seething over the letter c. there's not that much differentindeed, it's all just culture wars nonsense that the bourgeois promote to make people hate their neighbors. only through dialogue and understanding without judgement can we defeat chuddery.
>>47077She just looks like a youthful woman to me. Idk why everyone is being weird about it. Like she could be 15 but she could also be 25.
>>47075Persona 6 teaser was literally nothing except a logo, and people are getting kinda tired of resident evil, so I sort of see why there's not a lot of fuzz around these IPs, but it's funny seeing /v/ sink so low that they're seconding cliffy b. They used to make fun of neogaf for eating ubisoft slop, now they're the slop-kings as long as they can goon or whatever.
>>47083 (me)
also the trailer looked admittedly kinda cool but i wouldn't trust that studio for the life of me. who knows how many toddler sokoban puzzles and empty asset flipped maps the next stellar blade has in store, and i'm not looking forward to paying 70 dollars to find that out lmfao
>>47093God Hand Chads won. That was unexpected.
>>47102Doesn't every AAA game use AI these days? I haven't seen a single major studio deny using AI.
>>47103>Doesn't every AAA game use AI these days?They usually clean up their assets so you cannot tell they're using AI. Having people clock AI shit is pretty much the AI-era version of asset flipping
>>47104Thats not really true tbqh. Usually AI is just used for backgrounds or other low priority stuff. In this instance people caught them using AI because the text on the signs was a fake language I think?
But even stuff like Pokemon is using AI now, there's no shame in it. Especially in Asia. Anti-AI culture is pretty much a western phenomenon outside of artist circles, because westerners feel that AI is putting their jobs at risk while Asians have employment-focused economies that would collapse if they tried to outsource entire industries to AI.
>>47082I've literally dated girls who looked like this at 23. The stink is coming from chudettes who get mad at fictional women, same as chuds who get mad at bishonen boys and kpop stars. Virtue signaling against beauty is very popular with the bluesky game journo blogger crowd.
>>47106Foids always seethe at women hotter than they are, especially fictional ones.
>>47106It's just so pathetic.
>>45716It does get better once you're 5-10 hours in. I'd keep going, as it's absolutely a lot of fun once you start leveling up. You can also steal high-level equipment early on and cheese the game that way, which is what I did.
>>46527No, they thought of the first one as some kind of "response" to the "woke" game industry by showing historical Christianity in a somewhat positive light and emphasizing various tropes that they fetishize. They did hate the sequel because it allows you to kiss another man in an optional cutscene.
>>46522It's definitely the dominant voice. I've been there since the late 2000s when it was just chaotic and anarchic in general, but it definitely got worse after the addition of /pol/. I'm refusing to just hand the site over to them, though, so I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, and I'm definitely seeing more and more people getting annoyed with the chuds and MAGA tards ruining the place.
>>47119That said, this place is a breath of fresh fucking air. It makes me feel a little more alive to be on a imageboard that hates those cunts as much as I do.
>>47120Enjoy that feeling while it lasts, there are plenty of chuds right here on leftypol.
>>47121Yeah, but they're not the majority. I'm guessing that if any of them try to constantly bring up Fox News talking points in response to random things that have nothing to fucking do with anything, the hammer will come down, which is probably why I haven't seen people doing that here. If I see one more anon on 4chan repeat Jesse Waters talking points verbatim in a thread where I'm just trying jerk off to naked Chinese cartoon girls, I'mma go insane.
If I ran an imageboard, I wouldn't allow politics at all, but I'll settle for this. I'm way too burnt-out on the right-wingers who have taken over *chan culture. I'm. Just. So. Fucking. Tired.
>>47132no doubt lots of people bought this game just to install mods on to it and then left it to rot when they realized it's surprisingly ungoonable and they would be better off pirating a straight up porn game. other even more retarded people bought it for purely culture war issues, so i'd say saying sales are "inflated" is a fair guess, taking a cursory glance, the achievements look more or less in line with what'd you expect from a middling game, and half the playerbase drops it around the 1/3 mark, so it doesn't seem thaaat inflated. but that's one fucking retarded thread you just posted mate, like roxanne is a completely unremarkable NPC in a game filled with unremarkable trash. calling her AI generated dialogue "flirting" is like calling the unintelligible screechings of a mad monkey "a musical". why would her understandable lack of popularity be an indicator of anything. god the stellar blade fanbase is truly retarded.
>>47139> taking a cursory glance, the achievements look more or less in line with what'd you expect from a middling game, and half the playerbase drops it around the 1/3 mark, so it doesn't seem thaaat inflatedyou're not counted in the achievement percentages if you don't put a certain amount of time into the game. if someone plays it for half an hour before getting bored and quitting and doesn't get an achievement they aren't counted (or if they never open it in the first place ditto)
>>47145at least it's not child
that the positive tho from something that was already gay
>>47148the original was already not a child.
