I guess that's not bad. Still haven't preordered. Maybe being overly cautious, but better safe than sorry.

Id have the fact that the director has completely embraced AI image gen as the title personally.
Watch the game have a story that's like a cautionary tale about AI and synthetic humans or some shit while his Twitter timeline looks like a descent into tool assisted fucked up proportioned anime girl ass. I swear Era would normally ban this kinda shit if you took 1 look at what he posts lmao

Has this already been discussed? President of EA Japan is wondering how this game got past CERO with just a D rating (referring to the gore)
It's been surreal to watch from the sidelines. People rightfully and deservedly criticizing the game for months to then stanning it non-stop, makes no sense. It almost feels like some kinda elaborate trolling lol.Watching the general tenor go from deserved side-eye to genuine stanning has been shocking…I'm thinking of that poster who was banned for unironically praising Eve's wonderful character and like…that's just the thread now, lol.
That was the original intent of Rear Automata. It reduced it down to a cheap facsimile of another game where even in being horny it lacks its own identity. That's why a number of people liked it when it was originally suggested I imagine. It wasn't meant to be taken as 'ooo sexy ass', but with that being how it was taken there's zero sense in having it. Intent and all that.
My mind is made up about this game. It's too far for my personal standards, and I won't be getting it.It's been surreal to watch from the sidelines. People rightfully and deservedly criticizing the game for months to then stanning it non-stop, makes no sense. It almost feels like some kinda elaborate trolling lol.
I will say I appreciate the devs being so open about it. What was that quote again? "Eve's design is the way it is because that's just what niggas like bruh" (paraphrasing). That shit's actually refreshing. Be open about it instead of the subterfuge we usually get. Saves me time from deciding if I should give your game a dime or not.
Yes. Its up to the mods now
title should be "Not quite Bayonetta, but Nier enough" but i voted rear automata

Look I got no problem with anyone playing or buying the game, no shame, none of that. But if you're gonna diligently put to light the myriad issues with both the game and the shitty ass devs themselves and then turn around and stan it and presumably give those shitty devs 70 & change… man you do you but I don't vibe with that toothless nonsense which has become all too common online.who? the people that have criticized the game (well, the characters) still do it that I've seen, who are these people that criticized it and now stan it? unless "Im getting it / playing it" is stanning.
a genius
Democracy has failed. Just pick this one.My OT title was not even on the poll... ☹️😑
Stellar Blade |OT| 콜로니의 천사 (Angel of the Colony)

Yep it's Wednesday, April 24 at 7am PDT / 3pm BST / 11pm JST or Thursday April 25 at midnight for AEST.
Anyway
Battle Angel of the Colony
Alita was named as an inspiration and people call Eve Angel of the Colony
This was always my first choice and I quoted it before, so it was disappointing that it wasn't part of the poll which should just be neutral.My OT title was not even on the poll... ☹️😑

These are all brilliant. Gravity Rush could live on another day…Not really.
I could think some.
Why not?
I'll buy all of these paid costumes.
Yes.These are all brilliant. Gravity Rush could live on another day…
Honestly miffed that yet again another game with interesting visual design elements is just mired in shit. Like on the green outfit there's this strip of transparent plastic over her shoulders with a Louis Vuitton-esque pattern done as a hologram between the layers of it. It's genuinely cool… but then you get a glowing light on her crotch and the seam line running down it is a markedly different shade to the rest because you know, you really have to emphasise there is a vagina there.
Then yeh, again, you have whatever this suit is lol
It's just like, can we get the intricate and heavily detailed femme costumes without needing to collide them with the imagination of some horny creep.
I hope you're ashamed of your words and deeds.
Calling other people toothless while vague subtweeting yourself is an interesting combination I will say. I can only assume me though, right, since I seem to find myself having to justify the things I like these days to people with the most basic etch-a-sketch understanding of me. It's just kind of weird considering I'm pretty sure I didn't post in any other Stellar Blade related thread (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, etc.) prior to this one where I basically did what I've been doing in any Stellar Blade discussion; called out the over-sexualisation and noted the nature of how such designs appeal can differ between the men they're designed for and women who like them. I spent half of my posts throwing shots at Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Oh and this one I guess, where I called out someone for trying to guilt a woman by invoking other women who like the game and said people should be free to voice their criticism. I don't think any of that is particularly diligent though. The second post I made on SB in the sexualised characters thread was this, which touches on a frustration I've voiced pretty openly since:
It's stupid it needs to be said but I'm not required to bind myself for the sake of maintaining whatever image of me you have in my head, of which people have many. If wanting to play Stellar Blade while being critical of its issues and having long conversations about the male gaze and how it relates to hyper-femininity – and how high-femmes deal with accusations of internalised misogyny for liking what we like – is what fractures some perception of me then it was too fragile to begin with. I'm not the one who built me up into something that could be blown over by your own disappointment. I think we should be critical of the shit elements of things that appeal to us or we engage with, if that's some line in the sand for you then ignore me and move on. People who want to discuss their report card of me can DM me, sniping with the lens cap on is just petty.
Oh hey, since you're here can you ping me when Chiori is next up on a Genshin banner?lmao @ trying to smuggle ass/tits jokes as OT title on ERA, especially for a highly discussed game as SB.
I'm cackling lookin' at the poll result, couldn't ask for a more perfect ending. 🤣
It's a fuckin' TITLE, it's not gonna impact y'all's enjoyment of the game lol.

Cheers 👍 It's Kazuha all over again.
Neither of the two "winners" will be chosen as the OT thread title.It seems like the poll is closed now and the winner is "why women critizise...".

It's out of my, our, and the polls hands now, the mods are deciding on which title the OT will have, which is why I closed the poll.Neither of the two "winners" will be chosen as the OT thread title.
All this poll did is lead to more heated arguments, sadly.
Just put a "neutral" OT title or drop it all together. It's sad that something as basic as voting for a title is not longer possible on the internet. The two top candidates made unnatural jumps more than once. The "winner" was more than 5-6% behind just 1-2 hours ago. The other alternative has made similar jumps earlier in the process.
Who can say that's unnatural though? 1 - 2 hours is plenty of time for people to vote.

All I will say on the poll is, it got over 450 votes... I did this same voting system for Elden Ring last year and that was a "popular poll" and only had 200 votes total after 7 days of voting. Yet Stellar Blade had over 450 votes after less than 24 hours.Who can say that's unnatural though? 1 - 2 hours is plenty of time for people to vote.
I imagine the mods will choose one of the neutral options on the poll but can't confirm that.
haha nice. The mods did do that.
Nothing against you btw, I think you've got a hot potato on your hands. I just wanted an opportunity to post that gif.
Effectively confirms hair dying as a thing in the full game. Red hair across two different outfits (only one of which was red) and grey with another.
Damn, this looks awesome!
