    I have zero interest in this game, so I have no horse in this race, but the censorship does seem a little silly. It’s rated M, are we really so puritan that a little cleavage needs to be covered up?

    On the one hand I’m all for horny shit in games, and I think they should go full nude just for the hell of it. But on the other hand, I had to squint to be able to tell the difference between the outfits.

      I actually like the new one better, because it has a bit more interesting details. It’s not all about the amount of skin shown, IMO.

      I think it’s the blood most people would be upset about. It’s clearly toned down and diminishes the original intent. At least, that’s what I hope they’re upset about.

    I don’t understand why everything needs to be a boring shade of grey.

    If someone what’s a hyper violent game with tits in it and you don’t why do you care? Just don’t play.

    Its fucking childish, if someone isn’t hurting other let them have their own form of entertainment. The more entertainment the better, everyone gets what they want.

      'cause it’s published by a giant corporation and they have to be as insipidly neutral as possible.

        That’s a problem.

        I’d rather a big company throw out 10 different games some of which I think are great and some terrible. Then 10 games that are meh

      This game has a good story, great combat, and an interesting world. The ONLY reason you think it’s for wanking is because the women characters in the game are all dressed in fetish gear and lingerie despite there being no mention of sex or sexuality anywhere in the game. It’s pure fetishization and it’s especially creepy on the two different characters who look underage.

          Point being it’s a pretty good game with overt and put of place fetishization of specifically women characters and that’s why some people have an issue with the sexualisation. Every male character is covered head to toe, most of them even have full head mask/helmets. The game isn’t sexy at all - a side character mentions love and Eve literally doesn’t know what it is - other than the outfits.

    Why am I constantly hearing about this game? Aren’t there millions of these Devil May Cry type games with an attractive young girl? The reviews for this one aren’t even that good.

      It is by the developer of Nikke, which is the 3rd biggest mobile game, after Genshin Impact and Star Rail. It has a very attractive protagonist, apparently great combat and was praised by the Nier Automata creator(with which it shares many similarities).

      What other similar DMC games, with similar fidelity and attractive female protagonist, have come out recently? Also this game is kinda more dark souls like in combat, less actiony, more deliberate.

    I want you all to have fun and honestly just want to know the reason behind why in the consumers eyes an astonishingly big amount of women in videogames barely wear anything and have some dumb backstories to why they can’t wear more. Would you feel the same if it was the case with men in videogames? Do you care more about some jiggly parts here and there than immersion and logic? I also very much enjoy womens bodies but would appreciate a bad ass armour on a bad ass character way more than a freaking swimming suit. No crititque, just honest interest.

      than immersion and logic

      That’s not how fiction works. I’m not interested in a perfect recreation of reality in my video games. What would be the point? I can’t even play Stellar Blade, but I fucking hate the puddle deep take that Realism = Good. Are The Muppets bad because it’s not realistic? Is Star Fox bad because furries aren’t real? Is CoD better then Halo because Halo has Plasma Rifles?

      Immersion doesn’t break because there’s titties on screen. It breaks when the game stutters because of poor optimization or when an MTX menu pops up.

      I honestly wouldn’t care if the male characters were fully nude, as long as it fits the style of the game and it is rated appropriately.

        There was this TF2 style free to play shooter game a few years back called ‘loadout’ and literally the only thing I remember about it was you could be nude in the game with your dick swinging around while you lugged your machine gun around. It was very fun and fit well within the style of the game.

      To answer your question: i do not mind sexy men in a game with sexy women. Quite the opposite. It makes “sense”. Then again it is, in my opinion, also ok to cater to only a certain group. Your point of immersion also holds true but it very much depends on the game. I do not need logic and immersion in all games. Also you have universes where things just work weirldy and you have to accept it. I have no issue accepting the rules of fantasy worlds.

        Logic only needs to be internally consistent for immersion, anyway. It doesn’t need to be consistent with our reality.

      Depends on the game. It would be out of place in Beyond Good and Evil or a lot of story-focused games. In a spectacle fighter? Everything should be absurd. You’re flying through the air smashing shit - gravity defying tiddies isn’t an issue.

      Men in videogames are hot as well, even if more dressed.

      Ask a man what’s a sexy attire for a woman, and most of the time they’ll answer lingerie or something like that. Ask a woman and they’ll answer business attire or fitting shirts.

      That’s just demand.

    They censored the ramen sign from on to off? Those bastards!

    Honestly there are so many skimpy outfits that I wonder if the people who are upset have even actually played the game of if they’re just being loud to make noise.

          Aren’t we talking about the cleavage cover and the extra hip cloth in the second image?

          I’m not familiar with the twitter brain rot, if they want the racist insinuation back, that’s really something. If the dev caught shit for a weird crop that’s dumb as fuck too but who cares about the graffiti?
