Got the disc version from a coworker - yeah Sony / Shift Up are faggots for the day 1 censor but I am greatly surprised by the game. I am 40 hours in and I am taking my time.
The setting is more of less the same as Nier:Automata, at least the setup.
- Main character is hot. Side character are hot. NPC's are hot. Best of all: NO NIGGERS.
- Gameplay is not for normies though. Is not Bayo or DMC. Can't just smash button. Even on Story Mode is not as easy as it seems.
- Cool animations, the gore "censorship" is not even noticeable. Doesn't even matter, the blood doesn't even stay on her for more than a few frames.
Imma prolly beat the game and as long there is no blatant faggotry (subtle hints of lesbianism) ill buy the physical copy of the game. There is a little throw away line refencing "muh global warming" early in the game.
9/10 IMO.
EDIT: Looks like they listened. The new 1.003 patch includes two new outfits that are based on the 1.00 version. They actually look better.
What is the way of getting around the censorship with a physical copy? Been thinking of picking up a copy once it goes on sale.
Yeah you gotta be offline completely. As soon you connect to the internet, it will flag your install and it wont let you play until you update.
Honestly is not that bad, sure the Bunny outfit got covered up a bit, but the blood is not a big deal because as i mentioned, blood is never on her after she executes a mob for more than a few frames.
Is honestly more about the fact that they bent the knee. If they came out and said Sony forced them to so, so be it, but director said it was an "artistic choice". Yeah sure.
I agree, the reason I didn't buy it at launch was because of the censorship bait-and-switch. I have plenty of games to play, though, so I don't mind waiting until Stellar Blade is at least half off.
I still want to play it, and I would've payed full price for it as well, but the bait-and-switch really left a sour taste in my mouth.
I got the feeling ShiftUp will go the way of CD Projekt Red. Early release of a few good, non woke games. Get praised by community as based, then eventually succumbing.
See how far CDPR has fallen.
Why is that legal?
