If screeching puritans are going to get mad about some people liking to look at pretty ladies saving humanity from monsters (but who is the monster, really), maybe reconsider playing into the reactionary gameplan so enthusiastically.
It’s hardly a patriarchal work. Eve is a badass respected for her skills working on behalf of The Mother Sphere… And who only wears stripper gear if that’s what the player wants. The difference between this and Bayonetta, for example, is that you’ve decided to react exactly the way the conservatives want you to.
Now, if you want to talk about how they very clearly edited out some serious homophobia for the English release that’s another thing but Korea gonna Korea
Tbf to them, one of the reasons both of those gachas were successful is that they’re actually pretty generous by industry standards. They’ll sell the gooners a $60 cosmetic skin and milk the whales of all they have but the regular players can get by fine without paying a dime…
Shift Up already had a great start lol, they printed money off the gacha games Destiny Child and Nikke. The Nikke fans who already owned Stellar Blade are currently pissed at them because the ones that already had it on PS5 got told if they wanted the collab bonuses they’d have to buy the game again.
I’m not sure why they’re surprised, ShiftUp is the kind of company that sells $60 gooner skins. It’s honestly amazing to me that Stellar Blade has all the content it does without spamming out micro transactions.
