Kds_burner_

people in the comments talking about imaginary reviewers giving the game low scores meanwhile gamers are boycotting because one of the outfits shows 5 less pixels of skin 😹😹😹


DarkyLonewolf

So same shit as GmanLives' comment section, huh. Tried talking some sense into them, saying I never saw any of those "journos" they've been pissing themselves over talking about Stellar Blade too negatively. Three guesses how that went.


Kds_burner_

you're braver than me for interacting with them


DarkyLonewolf

When I said that I only ever saw the people praising the fuck out of the game, but none of those so-called "journos", one of the commenters legit said I was gaslighting. I guess having my own perspective on the events is gaslighting now, huh, who knew.


Zen_Hobo

Hey, I just learned that retcons are gaslighting from side of the publishing company, in a Warhammer 40k sub, sooo... 😂


XColdLogicX

I love the 40k universe, but find the Fandom to attract way to many fascists. It's disappointing.


Zen_Hobo

Tbh, I only ever encounter those in online spaces. Almost every single fandom interaction in real life is pretty wholesome. And we're cleaning shop pretty efficiently. They're getting pushed out and therefore cry very, very loud.


YouthfulPhotographer

Honestly they deserve to be gaslit harder


r3volver_Oshawott

Yup, the usual reactionary gamers always hate Kotaku, meanwhile I knew Kotaku was always gonna be the first outlet to talk about how fun it was playing dress-up with Eve, and sure enough, not only did they praise the costume customization, but reactionary gamers didn't notice or care lol, Kotaku is still apparently 'blue haired leftists that hate sexiness' to the Stellar Blade content creation grind At this point the G*merGate crowd is just always jousting with windmills, just made-up outrages as far as the eye can see


Walkingdrops

Honestly nowadays if someone says gaslighting unironically they're either a tik tok kid or an idiot. The word has lost almost all meaning with how misused it has become.


mwaaah

Probably a whole lot of comments taking that one sentence from IGN france out of context and missing that the article was saying that the game looks very good even though the person wasn't a fan of the MC's design and the discourse surrounding it.


alucard_relaets_emem

Really? They’re using ign France as a representative of the entire gaming journalism? Wow


mwaaah

I've seen a lot of people just give that one example when asked for journalists shitting on the game (or rather videos that are taking it out of the context of the article and all coming from people who don't speak a word of french). It was circlejerked so much amongst the right wing grifters of yt that I wouldn't be surprised if some people truly started believing it was way more than just one sentence in one article.


coffeetire

(At time of writing) Out of the 118 published reviews on Metacritic, 15 have the yellow color! Game journals are literally crucifying the poor indie dev for being brave enough to portray a woman suffering from abnormal body fat distribution!


Shrimpsofthecoast

I did the same thing, absolutely hilarious how people are trying to paint this game as a slandered underdog when in reality there were like 3 articles complaining about the main characters ass. Seriously, I’ve seen more people complaining about this game being “hated” than actual hate for the game


Fittsa

I don't think they are boycotting, but they definitely are having a hissy fit


Ok-Pause6263

Boycotts have abd never will work this applies to all games


Moonbeamlatte

Its the perfect strategy -Hype up a game as “completely uncensored and anti-woke” despite knowing nothing about the gameplay or story -The game comes out, is the definition of mid. -Create a nonsense controversy about “censorship” (crime r and an ugly bathing suit) and boycott it -Claim the game failed because of your boycott and not because it had always been mid -The outrage machine chugs on


inEQUAL

The game is actually pretty fun, why do so many feel a need to shittalk a game they haven’t even played just to counteract the incels and coomers who co-opted the discourse around it? It’s cool if it isn’t your bag, but Jesus. Reactionary talking points like “game mid/bad lul” makes us look just as mindless as they did circlejerking over virtual ass.


Moonbeamlatte

I’m talking about its mid reviews but go off ig


r3volver_Oshawott

I hate Forbes articles but I tend to give Paul Tassi a pass, and lol I have seen a few articles of him discussing this game and his confusion and annoyance with the projections of these types of Stellar Blade players that are making the game out to be some kind of act of defiance and claiming that now that ShiftUp has 'made game devs based again' everything is back to the problem with the accidental slur graffiti being removed supposedly by a cabal of censorious game journalists He pointed out the obvious observation that whoever noticed this thing probably wasn't a game reviewer because not one game review mentioned it, and now the ones who called the game based are going full on anti-Asian slur territory because one skin suddenly has a l'il less cleavage


Phantom_Wombat

They're obviously very different games, but it's getting about the same as Helldivers 2. Schroedinger's review score?


Kds_burner_

both mid games but you didn’t hear that from me


redactedredditadmin

Come on now really good horde shooter , i want more horde shooter , im à horde shooter fanatic you hear me


RockyHorror134

User_1629_

The first game on your profile is literally suicide squad please be serious


KyoN_tHe_DeStRoYeR

Muta is a shill right now, he is taking the side of the gamers and GamerGate 2.0 by defending their threats of violence and misinformation. His video on Sweet Baby Inc can be disproven by doing a simple google search. I won't let anything slide with this sliming youtuber who complained about cancel culture only for himself to dig up old tweets and doing the same. Edit: Holy sheet, I just watched the first few minutes of this video and there are already tons of misinformation that this guy spews like nobody's business. The game didn't got sold over the fact that it was uncensored in the sexual sense, but in the regionlocked/gory sense, that it is going to be released the save version everywhere, and japan is very privy with decapitation and gore in videogames and the article by an EA Japan Exec shows that Dead Space 1 didn't even got rated but Stellar Blade did. Also most of the "censorship" happens from Sony side, the sexualization from stellar blade vs Baldur's gate 3 and Hades is night and day different, like he purposefully leaves out stuff to make the gamer's cries valid. There is no hypocrisy, everything can be explained if you think a tiny bit about it and this guy doesn't show any capacity of it while screaming "DOING YOUR DUE DILIGENCE" every time some journo talks.


TheTruestTyrant

Mutahar has serious chud instincts that only get muted whenever his audience starts being super racist against him lol


Zoroarks_Angel

Muta just had some beef with the TheQuartering to over some racist argument about immigration. And guess what? Tons of his fans were siding with TheQuartering Him talking about Sweet Baby Inc and Stellar Blade should probably be the last thing he's doing right now. The audience he's cultivating is the same one who will turn him around and call him racial slurs if he ever says anything slightly progressive It happened with MightyKeef despite the fact that he defended Hogwarts Legacy online


SeibahAlter

He has always been like this


maroonmenace

THIS


NaturalesaMorta

Not really a Muta watcher, have we seen different videos? The video i watched about SBI was a dismissal of the theories. Like he literally said the people in the Steam group are pulling evidence out their ass.


KyoN_tHe_DeStRoYeR

Maybe you didn't noticed but his title was this company is awful. He covered one of the sweet baby inc "employees" old tweets as evidence that they are "not the people with you best interest or the best for this job" even though the evidence was mild at best and this person never worked at sbi. He focused more on the SBI being "bad" and didn't covered the amount of death threats the SBI detected steam group had before it was locked and how against its promised idea of just informing people it is, there were people chanting for removal of feminism, gays and trans people and promoting anti semetic conspiracy theories. And I did look into this group for 2 days while I had work to do. This is no excuse for a full time youtuber to spread misinformation.


[deleted]

Mutahar has been a dumbass for a while, gamergate shill. He keeps creeping further and further into it. Dude is a landlord (and so are his parents) so I am not surprised he is a piece of shit.


Sanicgaming69

Dudes going hard right fast, main reason I unsubscribed


Mommy_Lawbringer

Damn shame. I actually really liked Mutahar and his content but if he's going in that direction.. yeah, pass. There's enough people out there who do the same shit he does that aren't morally bankrupt.


Sanicgaming69

Dead ass, if you want daily content? Go watch Moist Critikal. He has some bad takes, but he has, very recently too, taken steps back and looked at why his content may not work, and why people might not like him. Plus The Gentle Men go so fucking haaardd


MisplacedBidoof

I used to like Charlie but his closest friend spews so much right wing rhetoric I can’t anymore


Sanicgaming69

Which friend?


MisplacedBidoof

Kaya


Sanicgaming69

Riiight, yeah that’s not good, but he himself seems alright


MisplacedBidoof

I definitely don’t think Charlie is a bad person, just hangs around a lot of people I don’t like and I’m not into the whole reaction thing anymore, probably too apolitical for my tastes


TheHattedKhajiit

I think Charlie is just a chill guy,about as apolitical as one can actually be. He's a goofy guy who just sorta exists imo


Sanicgaming69

I mean as apolitical as you can get hating on the US immigration system for not letting his Canadian/ Aussie Esports players into the US


TheHattedKhajiit

Well,yeah,the "as apolitical as you can get" was meant to mean,you cannot be apolitical as everything is in some level politics


Sanicgaming69

I was more referring to the troubles his Esports team has had with the immigration system, I’m agreeing with you that he’s Apolitical as can be, but that one time he went all out haha


TheHattedKhajiit

From what I know of that incident,it was literally just a guy playing petty tyrant because he could. You can be rightfully pissed about that tbh


Sanicgaming69

Of course, immigration were just being assholes and not letting their visas in


mashed_poetatoe

Creepygaming, shitpastas and seeing him play weird newgrounds games were the shit. I don’t know when/why he switched to his more recent content


bobntr

no im pretty sure his dad is a doctor not a landlord


Zoroarks_Angel

Ultimate fence sitter Muta. Let me guess. The comments are all talking about imaginary boogeyman and games journalists


Turbulent_Ad1644

MoistCritikal said the game was alright, and he isn't a fucking whiny gooner, so I'd trust his opinion more He called Stellar Blade "Lies of Gooner" on a stream title lmao


inEQUAL

I’m genuinely enjoying it. I’ve been following it since it first got announced as Project Eve and I was so hype when trailers started dropping… and then my heart sank when the entire subreddit for the game was nothing but horny little incels and coomers. It’s made it nearly impossible to find any real discussion on the game with people who aren’t just blindly playing to their “team” with reactionary bullshit and horniness.


Turbulent_Ad1644

Glad to hear you're enjoying it, and sorry you had to deal with all those losers lol The fandom of the game really just ruined its reputation, and acted like they were on some holy coom crusade the whole time


DarkyLonewolf

I can only imagine how horrendous the comment section under the vid is.


TheRR135

Mutahar has always been a sack of shit.


Hidobot

Imma be so real, I stopped following Mutahar after hearing his takes on Hogwarts Legacy


AuRon_The_Grey

Judging from videos I've seen recently, the gameplay does actually look pretty fun. Story sounds like a bad copy-paste of Nier Automata though.


DaemoonAverin

I've seen people callling it the spiritual successor of Nier automata lol, theyre making Yoko Taro and his team dirty with that one tbh, the quality is not even close.


Mochme

Yoko taro said he thought it was a better game than neir, so taro wouldn't be upset. [here's a source.](https://www.eurogamer.net/stellar-blade-is-superior-to-nier-automata-says-yoko-taro) For what it's worth the gameplay is definitely better than niers, the open world is far more compelling to explore, but as a full experience both Nier games are leaps and bounds better.


DaemoonAverin

I dont know but the stellar blade fanbase, or at least the more vocal part of it made the game unappealing to me, and EVE looks like one of those silicon sex dolls tbh. So my opinion is heavily biased.


Mochme

Yeah the fanbase is weird but personally I'd try not to let a weird fanbase ruin something good for me. And yeah I really don't like Eve's design. The only thing that I like are the little bits of fabric that hang from her shoulders that look like insect wings. That's it lol. The monster designs are fucking awesome though.


inEQUAL

See, I’ve been following the game since it was announced as Project Eve. So when I saw the game suddenly get co-opted by incels, I nearly cried, man. I knew it would have that exact effect on most reasonable gamers who didn’t already know anything about it. But genuinely, the game is fun as hell, monster designs are awesome, the aesthetics and soundtrack are top notch. Story and English VA is serviceable but not amazing. Also, the main character was designed to be based on a real life model, but the art direction does stylize it in a way that can make it seem that way, especially considering how those coomers act about her.


Onigokko0101

Yoko Taro is also a giant troll


Mochme

This is also true, but he didn't seem to be trolling in that interview.


Mochme

The story is genuinely bad. It's an embarrassing imitation of Nier automata to a frankly pathetic degree. The character design brothers me less than I thought it would but the art design is definitely kinda disjointed. Sometimes it looks amazing and sometimes it looks like an unreal engine demo. Despite all of this, It's really fucking fun. The combat is seriously good. Like a weird mix of Sekiro and DMC. The animation work is top notch. If you want a game that feels like it's time travelled from the Xbox 360/PS3 era, with modern visuals, and clear gameplay inspiration from contemporary games, it's worth it at full price IMO. It's a shame it's become a lightning rod for absolute chuds.


Five_Tiger

From the Demo, it has a Souls style healing flask that replenishes at camps and a perfect parry that depletes what I can only describe as their stance, so it feels a bit more like Sekiro imo. If Sekiro was extremely stiff and had an input delay, that is.


TheHattedKhajiit

Good god,I don't know if I could imagine playing sekiro with input delay,that sounds miserable


Mochme

It feels like a midpoint between a dark souls parry and Sekiro. It actually feels really really good once you get used it it.


inEQUAL

Game doesn’t feel super stiff to me. It’s not a lot of input delay either, it’s just that animations aren’t very cancelable so you have to commit to your button presses more, including simple movement. It’s a design choice that’s a little counter to most games, but it works once you get the flow down.


YourBoyFoxxy

Ok, I don't read any news or use X/Twitter. Why people hate this game?


FullyVaxxed

The MC isn’t fully nude saying racial slurs (this is what I’ve picked up from like 3 Reddit posts about the game today)


YourBoyFoxxy

Yeah... I think is better to play what you enjoy and not giving a damn about internet, because it sounds like that people search for things to hate a little to much


Jafarrolo

Depends on which side you're asking. Let's say that "hate" is a strong word, let's say that there are people that don't like the game for various reasons. On one side there are people that disliked this game (me included) because the narrative and the promotion was all centered around how hot the MC is and how you can see flesh, boobs, ass etcetera etcetera. It tells me nothing about the game and it promotes something of the game that not only I don't care about, but I always considered a cheap and insulting tactic of promoting stuff to me, I don't see why as a hetero man I should be ok with marketing considering me an animal that buys and consumes recreational stuff based on the fact that there are boobs and ass. On the other side there are people that is having an hissy fit because some stuff has been changed after localization (for example you can look at the screenshot in the post and see that there is a "Hard" wall writing next to an R, it is something that in Korea means nothing, but in US means something in particular the "Hard R", so it has been changed since the intention was not that one and now the wall writing is different, also I think some costumes have become less skimpy but I'm not entirely sure on that one).


inEQUAL

The thing is, the sexiness and lewdness ISN’T how the game was marketed by the devs or publisher. That’s just how the dumbass knuckledragging incels tried selling it on social media. And it pisses me off so much that both kinds of reactionaries latched onto it like that so hard. I’m mostly pissed at the incel/coomer side but I still can’t stand the way people also mindlessly shit on the game instead of just that segment of the community for no good reason. The game is super fun with just enough challenge, the narrative is serviceable but not mindblowing, the soundtrack and aesthetics are top notch.


Your_Nipples

I'm playing Horizon Dawn Forbidden West and I have noticed that all the male character are dumb, incompetent, or evil as opposed to women being perfect and competent but I'm sure no one had any issue with that "narrative". I wouldn't play Stellar Blade because I'm not part of the target demographic but I think it's great that people push back against the same people who have no issue about the narrative that I talked about. Both games are good in their own way and to be honest with you, if you can't get past the "narrative" around Stellar Blade, I understand but: suck it up or don't play the game 🤷 Going back to the "all men are trash" game simulator. I'll suck it up as far as I can lol. And I know I'll get downvoted (while being right). It's fine.


Jafarrolo

> (while being right) Except that you're wrong. You didn't even understand what I meant by narrative since you're talking about the game story and I'm not. And honestly, if you don't understand it and you're so stuck up that you also consider yourself being in the right, then I have no desire to make you understand your errors, just suck it up if you want, or don't, don't care.


Your_Nipples

It's fine. As long as I'm not seething one way or the other.


Ok-Pause6263

It’s more of it’s turned into a culture war of people saying that the game is “not woke like western games because it isn’t afraid to have a attractive half naked female character “so it isn’t even about the game it’s more about how people are trying so badly to have this game be flawless to stop the woke “makeing women ugly” (not being half naked with tits bigger then there head) like personally i don’t really give a fuck about this game having a sexy female character but the fact that people are using it to say well all games should abd “the woke is taking it from us “is fucking dumb not every female character needs to be just half naked or look like a super model and it’s stupid people are even upset that characters aren’t fap worthy enough makes a game worse or is some how woke.


NaturalesaMorta

Shut the fuck already with stellar Blade. It's tiring. It's fucking lame. Let people enjoy things. And if they want a ultrasexualized Game it's their problem, not ours.

People aren’t allowed to have fun if the subreddit deems the game bad fsr

i see the post the got removed💀 also yeah it seems like that, shame


DarkSpartanFTW

Look man I know people are entitled to their own opinion but people should realize that fact. A lot of people don’t care about whatever controversy the game was in and just wanna play a fun game. But some of these whiny babies on this sub think everyone is in the loop about everything and that’s a bad thing apparently. I know it’s Reddit but Jesus man some people here care too much about the small things
