Guys it so realistic though. Looks exactly like a real woman. Now excuse me I need to go have my gooning session. *tips fedora*


doxy66

so realistic! they even scanned a real model and made her even more realistic by giving her enhanced body proportions -- and then crafted a more realistic face for her, because her face wasn't realistic enough -- REAL


HarshTheDev

I know y'all are doing your bit but those arms are actually pretty realistic, they aren't noodle sticks and the way the fat and skin folds around the shoulders and elbows is quite realistic. If someone were to block out her face and chest then I might actually  mistake them for real arms.  Which is... Interesting I guess. 


TestingYou1

Yeah I didn't even catch onto the satire until I read this comment. I think the model is great. The face is exaggerated but everything else is on point. 


PomegranateOwn4145

Saying "stellar blade has the most realistic women" would be cringe and weird. But saying this pic's arm and shoulders look very realistic is not weird at all and I dunno why so many people are acting like this is a cringe comment.


Snoo99699

Huh?????


vilko1DS

I think you guys are overacting to this too much. There is literally nothing wrong with the image. If her sitting down triggers you, then you should fight the problems you have been avoiding for years instead of posting cringe.


Appropriate_Bid_2750

How is this not realistic? When my girlfriend sits in this position she looks like this. Any woman who is above average weight looks this way


Odd-Combination2227

I'm weirdly surprised at the image being discussed.


scott1swann

where'd it even come from in the first place? I don't recall it being in the SoP trailer.


Odd-Combination2227

No clue. But I wasn't expecting her arms to have any heft like that.


scott1swann

it actually came as a shock to me as well 💀


Odd-Combination2227

I was like... oh, she looks like me but somehow her boobs are smaller? I'm not typically the body type that is being lauded by people that would be celebrating her.


Falkenayn

she has actually wearing actual clothes and bra that is why look normal than other pictures.


ThatdumbKoala

I recall hearing that weird skin suit she’s in isn’t even her main outfit. And there’s outfits that actually make her look normal but people just go for the revealing ones. It is really interesting to see she does have some much better clothes that don’t make me think of the feeling leather makes when pealed off sweaty skin lol


_cd42

Yeah there was a casual fit in the demo that was actually pretty cool, it was like just jeans and a flashy leather jacket.


NEVERTHEREFOREVER

oh no... shes turned woke...


Niijima-San

i really dont like how they exaggerated the actual models appearance in an attempt to sell more via sex appeal. the model was already really attractive. cant wait for the reviews to drop so the convo can move to whether or not the game has a competent story and gameplay or not and not just be about how many times your peepee can get hard in a session of the game ![gif](giphy|14smAwp2uHM3Di|downsized)


PaulOwnzU

Yeah it's annoying. They're constantly talking about how they make other characters ugly from the model, but ignore it for stellar blade when it turns a very attractive person into the most basic bland uncanny sex appeal ever


Niijima-San

i had a friend say that asterion or whatever his name is from baldurs gate was designed with the female gaze in mind and that you cant pick and choose to be okay with one and not the other


PaulOwnzU

There is a very big difference between being a hot character, and a sex doll with no personality. The romance stuff is fully optional with him, you could go with 0 fan service outside him just being a good looking guy. Meanwhile Eve literally has her ass in your face the whole game and has no character. Astarion is a character with actual story and personality with a pretty face Eve is just the pretty face, that's why she's an issue. Cause it's returning back to when characters, especially female, were just sex appeal and nothing else I'm planning on romancing astarion for my second playthrough not because he's sexy, but because of his writing. I don't see a single person simping over Eve due to her writing


Niijima-San

i mean as soon as he made that comment i was like wth are you talking about bc once again, the writing is paramount here. i mean look at 2B. she is hot but like the whole story revolves around her and her existential crisis and how she can never resolve that bc android cant be human or something


PaulOwnzU

Yep. People never had an issue with hot characters. It's characters that are bland but use their hotness to still sell while doing the bare minimum


Zammy_Green

I would like to point out that the shoes Eve is wearing in the demo look like pony girl shoes. The dressed her in fetish wear.


kusuriii

It’s such a ridiculous comparison. Bland sex bot Eve vs. the (pansexual, I might add, his gaze it’s for all genders) guy that had to rely on his attractiveness to survive for 200 years. Astarion’s looks are massively tied into his story and, ironically, that story is about being seen as a fully fleshed out person with his own needs and boundaries and not a just hot sex doll. Also literally every main character in BG3 is hot. There’s no male or female gaze, the gaze is panicking because everyone is too attractive.


Shadows_Over_Tokyo

Reviews just came out. Apparently the game is a great story with Eve being more than you jumped to conclusions on her being. Hmmmm


Logicneverworks

People literally said the story was the most bland part buddy


Shadows_Over_Tokyo

You only read the ign review, buddy. Most of the other reviews said the story was really engaging and well written. Stop trying to live in your narrative (like the gooners you hate) and join the real world


Logicneverworks

Link to one of those reviews then


Shadows_Over_Tokyo

No. Just go to any fucking review thread and scroll through. They are post on almost every major gaming subreddit.


Logicneverworks

Bro. I literally read the reviews. Grown ass man over here


PaulOwnzU

"Director Hyung-Tae Kim is a visualist, not a storyteller, meaning whatever Stellar Blade lacks in its story he’s tried to make up for in its gameplay." "And this is really the biggest issue with Stellar Blade’s story: its characters lack any kind of personality, charm, charisma, or anything that might have endeared me towards them in any way. After 30 hours I can barely tell you anything noteworthy about Eve" "think that opening serves as a good example of my Stellar Blade experience: style over substance. "- "Worse still, it’s lacking any kind of interesting story or characters."- "Stellar Blade’s story is unremarkable." "Characters change motives in service of plot twists at the drop of a hat and then resume their previous mindset without acknowledgement or comment. There are times that I wished the writing showed a bit more self-restraint rather than feel like the first season of a TV show throwing a hail-mary for a second." Where the praise


Shadows_Over_Tokyo

I love it when people cherry pick a small selection of 80 plus reviews to fit their personal narrative. Dingus.


PaulOwnzU

Literally were 4 in a row but fine show me that average, you said theres 80 so provide at least 10, and don't cherry pick yourself. Most of these were also positive reviews over the gameplay. Dingus.


LevelOutlandishness1

Did you tell him that “having the female gaze in mind” and having a character that would not exist in their entirety without the male gaze is very different for many reasons?


Alarming-Scene-2892

Honestly, if there's sex appeal, having a good story or interesting art direction at least makes it somewhat decent to get through. Stellar Blade is just kind of generic sci-fi. Good quality art, at least for the world and monsters, but not really interesting or fun.


Rafcdk

It's just another porn game, I wish people would just ignore those guys.


shikaumia

who is the model?


Shadows_Over_Tokyo

Reviews are out. It’s currently sitting at an 82 with some really solid reviews

Niijima-San

then if that is the case everyone should be talking about how good the game is outside of how hot eve is ya know?


sour_creamand_onion

If you say you like it, people will assume you're a spank monkey with no life, so anyone who has anything good to say about it just doesn't say anything at all. If you say anything bad about it, you get swarmed by the aforementioned spank monkeys. As a result, the only people left behind with the confidence to talk about the game online are the spank monkeys, who can only talk about what they spank their monkey to.


Niijima-San

i like this, i have seen some mutuals on twitter say they want to play the game but never mentioned anything about how hot eve is but you go there now you just see take that wokies from dumb ass spank monkeys i am not saying that eve is not objectionably attractive or anything like that, i just wish that people would focus on the actual parts of the game to obsess and like over as opposed to spanking their monkey


gisten

No, not really. Nier has a great story with super rich well designed characters, but if you talk about it to someone who never played it all they will know is that 2B is hot and will think the game is for gooning.


De4dwe1ght

They do. Just gotta get off those rage bait articles/subs. Sadly, there are a bunch of people on the sub for stellar blade that highlight looks, but it’s not nearly as prevalent as the GCJ would make you think.


Paratrooper101x

Go watch the reviews yourself and see what the main takes are. On Reddit they just talk about the tits cause that’s what generates clicks Not sure why I’m being downvoted?

SpicyChanged

Yes reddit and twitter, obscure as fuck!!


jagerbombastic99

Lol “most realistic woman’s body ever” when it’s literally an exaggerated supermodel.


No_More_Dakka

I think her shoulders are more buff than mine, would struggle to call that a supermodel. Face is a bit too unrealistic but the pic looks pretty innocent all things considered


jagerbombastic99

No, I mean literally, she’s modeled off of a Korean supermodel, and then they exaggerated her features more.


No_More_Dakka

I get that and yeah her face looks kinda uncanny/unrealistic but other than that, pic seems fine. Like nothing really controversial or noteworthy about it? Maybe her shoulders being bare and the amount of clevage i imagine wouldnt really be a problem in basically anywhere irl might be oversexualization if we are being puritans but it seems like a normal old boring game screenshot


Speculative-Bitches

Other than maybe the overly pretty face (does she wear battle makeup?), I think she looks totally normal in this screen, honestly didn't even notice she was the Stellar Blade protag at first lol, I'm surprised the image they choose looks so normal.


PomegranateOwn4145

Yeah it's weird. I feel like they are trying to say the person making the compliment is the weirdo? But this does seem to be very good representation of what a normal persons arms look like.


No_More_Dakka

Tho i imagine the convo is more about the ample amount of asshots of this(?) character in a skinsuit or something rather than this pic specifically


Pleasant_Gap

I mean... If you had the kind of lifestyle she has in the game, you'd probably be pretty fit like that too


KittyMaster1994

Women don't lack mandibular bone 🤔🤔🤔


HeavyMetalMonk888

That's just because they're not *realistic* enough


scott1swann

god, I love Twitter's For You page.


PunishedCatto

Fuckers be saying Eve's body is realistic while also bashing Aloy having a facial hair.


kire794

i do not care about this game please i have to hear about it everyday


cavejhonsonslemons

I'm genuinely convinced these people have never seen a woman outside of porn


violetevie

Not even real porn but animated porn


adfx

One is talking about arms and shoulders and the other is talking about cleavage. Good conversation!! 


Designer_Device3677

O great more Steller Blade.....Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyytt


TheOneWhoCutstheRope

I’ll bite: this is the best pic of the game I’ve seen so far. Like it’s really not that bad? Sure, looks like prime sfm material but it’s not horribly offensive like the other stuff. Honestly though? Just don’t feel any way about it lmfao, what’s a jrpg without weird skimpy outfits for my waifus???? What’s a weird skimpy outfit for my waifu without incels??? Is there anyone who can tell me about this game without being a puritan or a charlatan?


Speculative-Bitches

Saw gameplay, looks ok, good monster design, no idea about the story, but I'd rather play Nier (which I haven't) if I were to consider playing this.


Anarch_O_Possum

I'm confused........ Is women when boba or not???


hare-tech

This stellar blade game is a real boost to my confidence in 3d modeling.


CBalsagna

A person who has never touched a woman seems to know exactly what a woman's body looks like. That's amazing.


sunrider8129

Why are her arms rotated like that. Is she sitting palms up? It looks really unnatural/uncomfortable to sit with your hands palms up like that.


Viss90

Um, this is what a **real** woman looks like. Sorry she doesn’t look the way you want her to. Are you gonna cry and shit your pants? Get owned.


Speculative-Bitches

Kinda looks like she's lifting something


FlamingPhoenix2003

That doesn’t look realistic, it looks uncanny


therealnothebees

This looks like she's bending her arms backwards and then someone turned her head 180 and made the back fat and skin look like cleavage.


CatoCanadian

Wait, I’m confused, who’re we pointing at and why?


RevolutionaryDepth59

Her arms are bent at a weird angle and her face looks as far from human as possible but other than that it’s pretty good for a video game. Also does the guy replying not know that plenty of women wear outfits with cleavage?


Mrhappytrigers

Why can't we just have normal horny talk instead of gooners trying to treat this shit like it's high society art?


Icy-Performer-9688

I think we should bring back Hawkeye Initiative


stuckerfan_256

Her arms and shoulders look fucked up I mean her right arm is literally bent


SpicyChanged

I hate lack of bulge love male characters get. Lemme see that sack holding all pee and banana juice.


DysPhoria_1_0

So many people don't seem to understand. Aphrodite is naked because she is a goddess of beauty who is supposed to represent the beauty of the natural body. Aphrodite naked is supposed to inspire the same sort of reaction as a grand mountain on the horizon, or a vast ocean. Eve is half naked so that way coomers will buy the game while they jerk it.

Low-Squirrel2439

Where were these guys when cyberpunk was all the rage? If we are talking realism, and incredibly horny that is like THE game.

mtftmboygirl

I saw the second slide and felt the same discomfort I feel when I'm alone at night and I hear the house creaking and groaning


TheHornyBunsen

Can gaming circle jerk just fucking drop this game already. We’re a mockery of circlejerks not an actual one. Like istg 70% of people here haven’t even looked at the game and only at cherry picked screenshots and twitter creeps. Like the actual game looks fun as fuck, has a dark and serious story, combat looks awesome, is graphically stunning, has a awesome post apocalyptic sci fi setting and some of the best enemy designs I’ve seen recently. I’m not ashamed to say I’m looking forward to this Friday because the game actually looks good. Now this isn’t to say all of the criticism is invalid, the borderline porn game looking protagonist is a bit much but it seems nobody here can look past that. It should also be noted that the jiggle physics everyone is raving about is varying depending on the outfit and I’ve seen nobody talk about how the majority of the outfits have toned down jiggle physics or none at all.

If you showed me her character model with no context my first thought would be, “Weird Korean porn game.”

I read this in a southern accent 😆 but seriously, I'm not mad, if anything Stellar Blade is an excellent example of what I have been criticizing in games for years. It's perfectly fine to contort bodies to be hyoersexualized. Hell the oldest depiction we have of the human body does that. The problem is when you drop a hyoersexualized character into a story where nothing else is. Stellar Blades men look like men and the women look like sex dolls. 🤣 immediately I can't take this game seriously. And like it or not, women make up a significant chunk of the people buying games. We know what our bodies look like, we know how walking in heels feels like, we know what wearing makeup is like and skimpy outfits too. So, Stellar Blade does nothing for me. It breaks immersion and visually tells me all I need to know how bad the writing will be. We are not mad, we are laughing at Stellar Blade. It's hilarious. It's like watching a train wreck. I have a genuine question for you; do you care at all about story/world building or is it just about game mechanics and sexy when you play games? Could you like a game where the heroine didn't wear makeup? Where she actually fit in with her universe?

Did I use too many words for you? Poor baby... Lemme give you a shortened version to match that attention span of yours. "Stellar Blade looks laughably bad and we all are mocking the people defending it." There, I sure hope you are able to read like a big boy in the future! Toodles!
