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.
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.
