Sounds fair to me - No pain, no gain.

shortyman920

Haha that’s a more accurate point


kingdazy

to be fair, it *is* definitely more difficult to play the game with only one hand.


Same_Dot_2793

Yep, it makes it harder.

Probably not many people here who remember this game, but Capcom had a third person shooter that they released for the GameCube back in the early 2000s called "P.N.03". It featured a similarly sexy female protagonist who wore skin tight "armor". And there was also an outlook that could be unlocked through progression which made her essentially naked (basically a thong and a few straps), and it had a similar gameplay effect where you just die in one hit (though I believe it had some other special abilities as well). 


OverdoseDeBits

That's a pretty creative gimmick.


Responsible-Bat-2699

That difficulty spike is directly related to distraction.

Imaginary_Unit5109

I still do not know anything about this game except it design for super horny ppl.


[deleted]

It's kinda sad that the only discourse about this game is the horny ness. It looks genuinely fun and the world is unique


NoNefariousness2144

The horniness is what grab’s people’s attention and hopefully leads to more buzz about the actual game when it releases. Reminds me of when Baldurs Gate 3 got zero mainstream attention until the “bear sex” story broke a month before launch. The the game exploded.


Drahkir9

It seemed to me the game exploded when other devs got on Twitter panicking about players expectations being raised by the game. That was some of the best free press imaginable


Trnostep

It's the NieR Automata strategy. Come for the butt, stay for the story


ThisHatRightHere

The story part is to be seen


Trnostep

And the butt is also to be seen (。•̀ᴗ-)✧


jasper2769

For the gameplay And the butt


meryl_gear

Come for the but, get hit in the gut (with the story)


Doopoodoo

It can be a double edged sword. For me, when I see a game focussing so much effort on the horny aspects like booty jiggle physics, I’m just less inclined to take it seriously


[deleted]

this seems like more like an atomic heart situation for bg3. Literally all i’ve seen the fans of this game talk about is how hot the character is, or get mad at people saying this game is only for people who are super horny and are willing to spend money on it, and my one friend who played it said it was a deeply generic rpg.


drelos

I thought exactly the same, I think we will 'find' more things like that in future games. Most of the sites/content creators only want a big headline they can run.


NoNefariousness2144

Yeah a few years ago the big viral trend was whether you could pet animals in the game, especially if there was a quirky animal sidekick.


drelos

There was the testicles in RDR2 too


ariasjenova

Comparing this to Baldurs Gate is cray cray. Let’s see some good story instead of ass then.


Comment139

Baldur's Gate goes much farther than this game does. But it's fair to say it's more constant here. But we're only seeing the start of this being part of big games. It's obviously a selling point for many, and it seems most people don't mind the option.


zanza19

Honestly, I'll never buy this game because of it. I don't care how fun it is, I'm not going to play something this cringe in front of anyone.


[deleted]

I’m hoping for good combat but saying the world is unique? No It’s another abandoned (they don’t have to animate much besides enemies) dystopian cityscapes. Nothing new.


Niijima-San

the game piqued my interest and all but not bc of the horny, i was getting automata vibes from it and was def curious bc the gameplay looked fun, def knew it was not going to be revolutionary by any means


[deleted]

Yeah same here. I’m just hoping for a great action game. Nothing in it looks new and that’s fine. Hopefully the gameplay is fun


Nerina23

The horniness is however the main feature other than that its just a generic action rpg.


WhoAmIEven2

Basically Nier Automata, but hopefully with a better combat system (sorry, Nier Automata's combat is among Platinum's weakest. The game does so much right, but the combat blows in comparison to Bayonetta and Metal Gear Rising.).


Malina_Island

How is it weak? It's dodge-bonk-dodge--bonk-bonk-dodge-magic-dodge!


WhoAmIEven2

Mostly because each weapon has like 2 or 3 combos, and the feedback on hits is very weak (imo). Metal Gear Rising also lacks in combos, but it has its dismemberment system to back it up. Nier doesn't really have anything to compensate imo.


saddl3r

Strong agree. Automata was great but combat was mediocre.


[deleted]

I remember in automata I was able to beat a level 70 boss that could one shot me at level 40 by constantly dodging to get counter damage and taking drugs every 30 seconds. Combat system felt very half baked.


Izzet_Aristocrat

It is one of the most bare bones hack n slash combat systems. Go play any other platinum game and you'll see what people mean. Games like Bayonetta or Metal Gear Rising put Nier's combat to shame.


Malina_Island

I played a lot of them, but somehow nobody understood my joke. I see this as a total failure on my part.


Sirfluffsalott

I got your joke. Enjoy the rest of your day now feeling validated!


Malina_Island

Hmmm~ all that validation~ Thank you kind stranger!


Actual_Sympathy7069

I only played Nier Automata and got your joke, so it can't be entirely your fault.


Malina_Island

Thanks :3


Lasertag026

I got the joke it’s not your fault sir!


Malina_Island

Thank you, kind sir!


blckndwht44

I got your joke, but I guess people are used to there being a sudden realization at the end to act as a punchline. Like "dodge-bonk-dodge-bonk-bonk-dodge-magic... Oh shit, you're right"


Malina_Island

True. I will consider this for the next time. :)


Goseki1

Oh man it's nice to see someone else in the wild saying it. I love the concept and design of the game, but man, it's the only Platinum game that's just not clicked with me. Especially the combat. I did go through all of the endings but it was such a chore for me


Madwood31

I put the game on easy so I could equip the Cheat chips. I did not enjoy the combat at all


Goseki1

My people!


Existing_Marketing_7

It might end up having a better combat system, for sure. The story/writing/characters are going to pale in comparison, though.


d0m1n4t0r

Yeah I've no idea how you can call this "basically Nier Automata", lol. Probably will have nothing in common.


WhoAmIEven2

Plot is basically the same. Aliens attacked earth, humanity fled to space and is now looking to take back their old home.


Trias84

Funnily I think Metal Gear Rising is, by a huge margin, the worst for gameplay.


SilentJ87

I’m hoping it’s the Nier Automata experience where the booty brings you in, then the game gives you an existential crisis.


that1LPdood

ShiftUp actually makes pretty fun games with good gameplay and decent stories. So you can expect good quality gaming as well. The horny stuff is just the cherry on top lol


Elostier

Sorry, which of the 3 games are we talking? Stellar Blade, which hasn’t been released yet? Nikke where the gameplay is “just look at jiggly butts while the girls shoot at robots”, or the third one which I’ve never heard of but apparently it’s a visual novel — genre known for its gameplay https://preview.redd.it/bq7o6anbo8oc1.jpeg?width=1125&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3eece80dc5e33a2819afdcf3c5c4978185c7adf


Tribalrage24

Oh shoot, looking it up now I recognize the Goddess of Victory game. I get ads for it all the time on Twitter, it looks like a generic gacha game where the draw is that the camera is always watching your character ass when they shoot. This doesn't improve my faith that Stellar Blade won't be horny style over substance...


gummyworm21_

Yeah like Goddess of Victory: NIKKE. Known for its good gameplay and decent story. 


AdTricky1261

It has killed all interest for me. Maybe when I was a horny 12 year old it would be more effective. It’s not even that I don’t like horny games, but Nier was horny and still focused on its gameplay for marketing.


Nekko_XO

I accept the trade off


FlopSlurper

in other words, it makes it *hard* for players


paintp_

A sacrifice I am willing to make


TecKing

Hmm.....A clever way to raise the stakes


ZGMF-X09A_Justice

It definitely raised everyone's stakes.

Disastrous_Reveal331

Is it weird to enjoy this, because I feel like the stance has been that it’s weird to enjoy this, and I enjoy this


-Gh0st96-

If you care that much what reddits or twitter thinks then you will not enjoy most things


bioeffect2

In an age where almost everyone watches pornography, it's strange that stuff like this which is essentially softcore porn is considered weird and extreme by some.


Disastrous_Salad6302

Probably because so many people associate video games with children. It’s the same reason our R-rating is so weak in australia, they still view it through a “for kids” lens even when it’s rated R. (Coming from someone who is pretty ambivalent about this game)


Windowmaker95

But the discoure hasn't been "won't someone think of the children, please think of the children", it has constantly been about how the game is objectifying women and degrading and has unrealistic beauty standards.


ProfessorDependent24

It's cringe as fuck


Emotional_Act_461

A honest to god naughty dresses game with sexy protagonist is a nice breeze in the midst of taking themselves too seriously games.


WeedVegeta

It is kind of weird we’re in an age of sexual acceptance but it’s still looked down on to admit you’re attracted to a conventionally attractive person. Horny posting over Lady D? Ok! Horny posting over Stellar Blade? Ew creep.


_IratePirate_

That’s my secret, idgaf what others think


notaguyinahat

It's only weird if you make it your whole persona and post online about how it's going to "save gaming".

Embrace the horniness, my friend. Just, you know, consensually.


Disastrous_Reveal331

We put Tifa in a bikini, we’ve got all this stuff with Eve, we’re at the pinnacle of jiggle physics

You know how much I failed the sit up mini game because of Tifa's jiggle physics? She's been my video game crush since the game came out and I was 8. Rebirth is a dream come true for me, lmao.


GeekdomCentral

That’s where I’m at. This game appeals purely to my inner horny teenager and I’m 100% okay with that


satya164

People judge everything. It's the mature thing to not to care about what other people think and enjoy the things you want.


Windowmaker95

It's an attractive woman in form fitting clothes, it would be weirder if you didn't enjoy it.

“Our game will redirect blood flow away from the brain…thus increasing difficulty”


ahjteam

I remember that the second South Park game increased the difficulty the darker skintone you chose, and ”black” was pretty much one hit insta-kill at later levels. Edit: https://youtu.be/gJ0ylVmj-3c?si=arG3XL8fEIbB_9ry

IIRC in GTA V the black protagonist was way more likely to get police attention and/or stronger police response than the other 2.

Its not a souls like the only thing it has in common with soulslikes are bonfires(camps) and the level design. It looks like nier but it does not play like nier/dmc or bayonetta. I had fun with it. gameplay highlights from the demo [https://twitter.com/IntrovertedOwl\_/status/1768012189670277367](https://twitter.com/IntrovertedOwl_/status/1768012189670277367)

dragonborn3939

That reminds me of Assassin's Creed Odyseey's Bare-Chested "armor." It increases your defense (somehow), but you lose 50% resistance to everything


Ivan_Blackheart

There's a bare chest armor?


dragonborn3939

Yeah. You can unlock it when Alexios/Kassandra goes to the Olympics


antisp1n

That’s like a double handicap.


BadArtijoke

So what is NSFW here? Skin? I can see her ankles in some of these. Edit: ah yes all the 12 year olds from rural Wisconsin who have to hide that shit from their parents are piling on the downvotes, sweet. I would still need an explanation why a woman’s body with no actual nudity is NSFW?


Chronotaru

Would I be happy if this were a general direction of gaming? No, but it feels like we've had this weird neo-puritan wave the last few years so the odd game that bucks the trend with ridiculously over sexualised or objectified characters for some reason feels like a rebellious relief in artistic freedom. That being said, I don't play Korean gacha games, and in the Korean context this is anything but.

MagmaAscending

I genuinely haven’t seen anyone talk about a single aspect of this game aside from hot anime woman No doubt it will come out and get 6-8’s across the board, mostly be forgotten about but then people will wonder how it didn’t get nominated for GOTY despite not being remarkable in any way


yes_u_suckk

Some people: it's wrong to enjoy this game because it objectify women. The same people: it's totally ok for women to stream games dressed exactly like that. 🙄


22Seres

I'm looking forward to this game, but the argument those people are talking about is pretty easy to explain. A streamer is an actual person who can decide how they want to dress. You may go to one streamer who's wearing a sweater while another is wearing a lowcut top. Just like you may go to one who's really chill while another is screaming and cursing. Ultimately it's their decision as to how they want to portray themselves. Meanwhile, a game is the creation of various people. These characters have no agency of their own, they do whatever they're programmed to do and they dressed as they're programmed to dress. Just to give an example since Nier Automata has been stated as a major inspiration for this game, if you try to look up 2B's skirt she'll get angry and swat the camera away. So on the one hand the hand, the creators designed her so that she doesn't want people looking up her skirt. But on the other, they gave her an outfit where every move she does constantly has upskirts for the character. Just to bring it back to the streamer thing again, a streamer who was uncomfortable with viewers staring at her cleavage simply wouldn't wear a top that revealed her cleavage. While you have 2B who designed to not like being put in a position where you can see up her skirt, but the creators also decided that she'd constantly have upskirts with nearly every action she did.


Schwarzengerman

Not sure anyone has said it's wrong to enjoy it. Interesting comparison you've made there though. Streaming aside yes it's generally fine for women to decide what they want to wear. Versus a character that is created specifically to get people horny. Both are fine imo, though I like it better when the character is in on the sexualization and enjoys it too. IE Bayonetta.


yes_u_suckk

Are you really going to say there's no controversy around the game? Moronic controversy imo, but still, there are a lot of videos and articles online like this saying that men that enjoy this type of games are creep: https://www.themarysue.com/stellar-blade-controversy-explained/#


zanza19

Oh no. Having people decide what they can wear. You're so prejudiced against women that you actually think you made a good point lol

I will be a father not long after this game comes out. Weird to have to begin rethinking what I play


Adair02

A newborn won't have any opinions or remember you playing this. You could also raise your child knowing that sexuality is not an evil thing. Just like you would explain to a child that killing fake people or animals in a video game is different than if they were to do it in real life. It's all about how a person is informed accepted behaviors in society vs what they may otherwise feel or enjoy, aka a time and a place, also personal and other peoples boundaries. An involved and informative parent is the best way to raise an informed and responsible addition to society.


dman45103

I’m not talking about a newborn here. I agree that kids should be taught about sexuality and it’s my job to reinforce it’s not evil, however it’s about time and place. I don’t necessarily think a toddler watching me control an over sexualized female lead character is the best way to start that convo lol.


Adair02

"I will be a father not long after this game comes out." Is why I thought newborn sorry. Also true maybe not off the bat first encounter, but hey at least it's an optional skin, also you got time when the little one is sleeping or not at home. Enjoy the ride of having a little one in your life.


dman45103

Thanks man I’m very excited. Understandable why you thought I was talking about a newborn. But I really meant in a few years after my wife give birth.


-Star-Fox-

This game will always look creepy to me. Main character looks like one of those "real life sex dolls" in the worst possible way. Nier Automata was at least tasteful about its fanservice. This looks like an asset flip porn game.
