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.
In the long run we need devs to understand that working with Sony just isn't worth it.
I think Square Enix's recent move and the public slap of what happened with Helldivers 2 showed that.
Square doesn't care about the censorship, though, considering they're actively engaging in it themselves. They're just realizing they're doing themselves no favors putting all their big releases on one platform. It's just about money, nothing more.
They axed a lot of western employees as part of their restructuring, and a number of those whinging on twitter where managers and game analysts with faggot flags in their bio. Who knows, maybe someone is paying attention?
