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.)
