Moral Quandary, who do we hate more and want to lose the culture war / fade out of existence?

fallen white men who debase themselves as coomers with no self respect?
Or
****** off game urinalists who actively hate men and want them genocided?




You can pick both.. but one has to go first.

I've seen fallen men able to get back up, I've yet to see a journalist making a positive contribution to society ( accepting Canadian healthcare does not count).

Yahtzee dished out a video on it, if anyone's curious:

What if they use a shotgun instead of Canadian healthcare and livestream their creation of the resulting ceiling mural?

**** outfits a bit more revealing? Glad to see the based gamers are achieving so much!

Ah yeah I just misread it says outfits.

[WhiteShark]

Responses are saying that while they added a few new costumes that are uncensored, they have, in fact, censored even more of the original ones.

So, changing the subject a bit, I beat Stellar Blade and it's pretty good. I love the Nier games (original more than Automata), and Stellar Blade mostly copies that formula right down to the music and even some plot twists. At first I was disappointed that the early/mid game doesn't mix in cool setpieces like the intro level has, and the open worlds and side quests got a bit tiresome, but the level design picks up more towards the end. A lot of people are crying about "endgame difficulty spikes," but the last four or so boss fights are absolute bangers and were my favorite part of the game. I could see a NG+ run where I blow off the sidequests and open worlds being even more fun than the first playthrough.

Finally finished Stellar Blade and I have to say it was a pleasant surprise when my expectations were very low for game I thought would be pure coomer ****.


Story was interesting but predictable that also lacks the execution to pull some of concepts it was trying to convey especially since the little characters that were shown lacks depth. The ingame notes does a lot of the heavy lifting in the narrative but then again ingame notes isn’t a substitute for having a cohesive story,hated that in Dark Souls still hate it now. Nonetheless there was enough there that I did feel emotional invested in the story.

One additional thing I was surprised at is the number of multi chain subplots then didn’t just amount to simple dialogue exchange and a fetch quest ,with some of the moments being actually endearing to the side characters which I wish the game did more of this in the main story.

English VA was flat and largely monotone which is par of the course for many eastern games. I know that Korean/ Japanese VA is better but I don’t play games that is voiced which don’t have an English dub.

Gameplay was more Dark Souls then DMC or Bayonetta then what was shown in promotional material which was annoying since I absolutely suck at Dark Souls games, but once you get used to it becomes somewhat engaging . Even though there many different types of enemy types they look rather to similar from one another which was unfortunate.

I should briefly mention that the visuals are very impressive which really adds to the atmosphere to some of the vista shots you see in the open world and space segments in latter half in the game.


Soundtrack is easily the best part of the game and hands down my favourite OST of this year which goes double in the final boss theme for one of the endings that was truly stellar experience (pardon the pun)



Overall an enjoyable experience for a year a wash with mediocrity and utter disappointment in games releases.

Got the Nier Automata DLC ( 15 dollars well spent)

"Nooo I promise the generic third person gookslop is legitimately good it's not just because I want to play with my *** **** balls genitals and **** to make load while playing!"

I respectfully disagree.

[methoxetamine]

Playing as a cute or hot girl is based. I'm excited for the white mans version of the game to get here next month.

[Vergil]

****** all love to claim and use random coomer girls from games as their avatars but I'm sure it's totally based when YOU do it.

[Vergil]

"Yea 99% of ****** are porn addicted AGP freaks who got that way due to over exposure to coomer media and self inserting into the idea of being a girl but it doesn't count when I do it!"

[methoxetamine]

What kind of low IQ ****** can't play a game without self inserting? Who said anything about an avatar?

Enjoy being a woman (in game).

Why do you enjoy interactive media where you inhabit the body and mindset of a girl?

Is "I'd rather stare at a woman's butt!" going to be your next defense after this one falls flat?

[Vergil]

"Hey man which game do you want to play? The one where you're a cool space marine? Or perhaps a deadly assassin?"
"I want to play the one where I can be a girl men want to **** actually"

You don't need to "inhabit the body and mindset" of every character you play as, there's nothing wrong with playing as a hot girl in a fun game
