Stellar Blade fans have found a trick that allows them to use uncensored versions of New Game+ suits, including the Autonetic Bondage outfit.
In an ideal world such gymnastics wouldn't be necessary to play the uncensored version of a 18+ game, but unfortunately this is not an ideal world.
The digital version doesn't even have this option
In the 90s, these wouldn’t even be an issue. There would probably be even more of them to unlock
Look, can they not just reverse the damn changes? How’s their “internal” discussions going?
What if they themselves didn’t and were forced to make the changes?
And let’s think about this, if you’re in the business of making a product for consumers and NOT yourself, wouldn’t it make more sense to try to lean more into what the consumer wants especially when you made it the way they wanted in the beginning? I know, right… crazy concept 🤷♂️
If anything, they should ignore all the crying man babies.
Director: This is the desig we intended
Man babies: Noooooooooooo, you are lying. Censorshiiiiiiip. Sony forced you to add 6 inches of lace, while leaving out far more revealing outfits. Yes, that must be it. You were forced to change it. Now we have justification to keep crying online
Pathetic. Sony/Shift up, should just stay quiet 🤫
I mean, we wouldn’t say that about the Helldivers 2 situation.
Look, I get that it’s not a big deal or worth anything to you. It’s easy to get ugly about it with each other because of differences in perspective and stances.
For me, if these were the outfits from the get-go and never altered to cover up more, I’d have been absolutely 100% fine. It’s the fact of the matter that bothers me, little or big.
Like I grew up where I’d watch movies on cable television censored for language, violence, nudity and whatever. When you haven’t seen the unedited version who cares right? When you have seen the unedited version and then watch a cable television edit of the movie… it irks me.
It’s no different here. What’s even more baffling is the fact they championed and made a campaign revolving around standing their ground and NOT censoring. The fact that they’re doing “internal” discussions goes to show there’s more to it than “this was our true FINAL design,” which was what to cover up parts in an outfit design to reveal what you covered up? Like you didn’t think this one through very well…
Here’s where we are. We have a disconnect set by what we prioritize in entertainment. We’re all man babies in here arguing over video game bullsh*t on a damn video game aggregate site, people who don’t prioritize or value games think we’re just as pathetic and a bunch of dorks for doing so.
My thing is I want my entertainment never to be censored. That’s not saying I want porn games. It could be language, violence, nudity, revealing outfits, whatever… I just don’t want to be shown one thing and then have it changed after the fact like some cable television edit because viewers might be offended. Plain and simple.
When it comes to something you’re invested in and it gets changed to appeal to someone else I’m not going to call you a man child when you whine and complain about it.
At the end of the day we’re all gamers and dorks playing video games and gushing about how cool fake characters and sh*t is in basically what is a toy. So, let’s not think we’re better than each other here. We’re all in the same boat.
The designs they intended... Then why is the other design on the unpatched release?
...why not just use the more revealing outfits if you want to see more?
Seeing the Stellar Blade reaction from some of the more sensitive parts of the internet has made me understand the term "turbovirgin". Lots of desperate crazies moaning about pixilated mesh covering cleavage in a game that's crammed full of tits and arse.
I'm sure they'll move on to something else when they're told to.
Pretty sure the argument is about censorship and the studio bowing to peer pressure from a minority of clout chasing critics. But sure, you can stick with their antigamer turbovirgins explanation if you want.
So why didn't they censor the more revealing outfits if this is censorship?
@MrDead why not just give customers what they paid and keep their promise?
Insults aren't and argument and neither is appealing to triviality.
What are the “more revealing” outfits?
The censorship seems to follow a pattern of frontal breast exposure.
Censorship hasn’t made sense in the past. I think back at like something like Ocarina of Time where they change the blood from red to green… like make that make sense, it’s still blood 🤷♂️. There is a pattern with the Stellar stuff though.
Blue Monsoon
Prototype Planet Diving Suit
Skin Suit
Black Pearl Nano Suit
That took about 3 seconds on google, there could be more but after seeing them I think the censorship argument is stupid... not to mention some of the NPC's in the game.
Narrative flaws aside, Stellar Blade shines as a top-tier action title with unforgettable final boss fights, showcasing the best of the genre.
Well of course, who thought it was releasing this week, anyhow i cant wait for this, and i swear it has nothing to do with the flesh on show.😎
You mean it's not gonna shadow drop on the next 3 days? :0
No way is this game going to land on its feet.
Pointless article is pointless.
