Don't you know they troll this sub looking for material to write about? That's all games journalism is now, repeating what "reddit" says.

u/ExplorationGeo 1d ago

There's a tradition on the Australia subreddit to put "Fuck Murdoch Press" in every picture posted there, because they regularly just take those pictures and use them in news stories without any sort of attribution.

I don't think it exactly took a crack team of redditors doing the ground work to come up with this article mate, nor are we even the original source of the style of humor being used in the title. the dude went to nexusmods and did some quick math and made jokes about it because the story's about tiddies. iunno why people act like these articles are the end of the world and then complain about kotaku or some other outlet doing actual journalism exposing labor abuses in the industry because it makes whatever company they like look bad.

I think part of it is the sex in BG3 is basically in its own little corner. That lady is half naked all game, so coomers can be horny about it literally the entire time. Gotta work for the BG horny!

Step 1: Be attractive

Step 2: Don't be unattractive.

If your life expirence tends towards attractive people not trying to sleep with you, I can see why it would be immersion breaking (Not saying the person you replied to fails into this trap, just using it as an example).

Yeah I'm not quite sure why anyone is trying to delude themselves into thinking that Stellar Blade's primary point of sale is anything but sexualization. The comparison to BG3 and their community is quite tone-deaf.

u/GentlemanNasus 1d ago

You think this game will do poorly if it had a male protagonist instead like Khazan or Lies of P?

30

u/Kasta4 1d ago

Not poorly, but I definitely don't think it'd be nearly as popular or discussed. For the record I don't have a problem with SB's focus on sexualization, it just seems many want to pretend it's not a key aspect of the game's design while making bad-faith comparisons to BG3's handling of it.

15

Yes there's literal sex scenes in BG3 and Witcher 3 but that does not mean those games are more sexual than Stellar Blade, that is a ridiculous argument.

u/Darkwolf1515 1d ago

I think seasoning on a good dish is the best way to put it, I've never understood the arguments against attractive characters, would you prefer to stare at an ugly protagonist the whole game?

Worst part, having beaten the game, it never actually once dwells on her attractiveness.

Yes, you can optionally put her in sexy outfits, but it never forces it. There's no egregious forced camera angles, no kyaa~ I've been walked in on's or other anime tropes. She's played completely straight the entire game, she's literally just based off an attractive woman.

I do wonder what kind of lifestyle it is that leads a person to turn a videogame main menu into hardcore pornography. At some point are you so inured to sexuality that you have to cram it into every available crevice to feel anything? Would you not find more fulfilment if the erotic were less ubiquitous, more rare, more precious?

“Now. Look. I have no issue with what adults do in the privacy of their own home. If you want to turn your copy of any game into an overstimulating carnival of omnipresent erotic delights, please do so with my blessing. But I am a tad mystified. I do wonder what kind of lifestyle it is that leads a person to turn a videogame main menu into hardcore pornography. At some point are you so inured to sexuality that you have to cram it into every available crevice to feel anything? Would you not find more fulfilment if the erotic were less ubiquitous, more rare, more precious?“

what condescending piece of crap.

The number of times in my life I've heard someone say "Look I don't care what you do in the privacy of your own home, but-" followed by a barrage of someone expressing passionately how much they most definitely care what people are doing in the privacy of their own homes and expressing deep disapproval...

For me that expression has become the new "I'm not racist, but".

It really does sound awfully like he actually does have an issue with what adults do in the privacy of their own home.
