South Korean developer Shift Up asks the question: What if NieR: Automata was less interesting and more horny?
Shift Up's first console game, Stellar Blade, is finally here to play. While it's a PS5-exclusive game, it's also a great experience for those who enjoy these types of games.
The more I play this game the more I want to keep playing, there's always something to unlock a place to explore a new monstrosity to fight.
With arguments about video game censorship raging across the internet, it’s time to look at what the Stellar Blade controversy is all about.
The game shouldn't be censored to begin with. And the "Western media of artists censoring their work to avoid offending audiences!" I am offended that the game I bought with my own money is censored. I honestly should have just waited for a PC version of the game at least then it wouldn't be censored for me.
Why should it be censored to begin with? It's a game aimed at adults. Therefore it shouldn't need censoring at all. I do wish media would stop trying to infantalise everyone. Let us make our own choices ffs!
Devs should just make it a toggle, those who are offended can censor their own game those who want it uncensored can leave it uncensored. They already have all assets so nothing goes to waste

Stellar Blade selling well it's great, hopefully we get a sequel or s franchise out of it!

You can def tell which outlets actually view PlayStation objectively. This and ign being 2 of them. These smaller rags 10/10!! 9/10!! Can’t take that seriously when the legit pubs aren’t quite being so generous. Also - very very very very few games deserve a 10, and only slightly more deserve 9s imo. So thanks to the rags actually being objective and critical.
"Stellar Blade goes so far beyond titillation or dogmatically and cynically targeting a certain type of gamer. The sexualisation is so over the top, so brazen, so shameless, that I can only deduce that to dehumanise and objectify women was the point."
The Reviewer is in the reset era threads admitting to lowering the score because of the "sexualization"...
I didn't even need to read the article to know why it was given a 5/10. The insecurity of some people is unreal.
This is actually anti women. As any real feminist will tell you, they believe that women should not be confined by the expectations. They want to see every version of the female form expressed. They actually believe in the expression feminine sexuality. They actually consider it a bonus that a woman can be both hot and kick ass at the same time.
