Looks pretty good, but I hope those sidequests won't be Nier Automata shit tier filler fetch quest garbage, I really do.
 
The Portal releases tomorrow here in Kangaroo Land.

It will save me the trouble of repeating some parts of the game on the Living Room TV in front of the wife and others.

I guess this was previously confirmed, but I wasn't expecting there to be boxed copies. Really thought of this as the type of game that wouldn't get a store version in this market, even with Sony picking it up for distribution .

And as a curiosity, I can't even think of the last time I saw a Korean-made game get a physical release. (Maybe a Lineage or DJMax game? Apparently Black Desert Online has an Xbox disc so there's that too, but it's not common for titles out of that region to get packaged copies, just because of MMOs and other types of games common from there.)
Lies of P is Korean too.

Some of the side quests in Automata was pretty good....especially the one that gives hint of 2B's true identify
Very, very few were. And it is impossible to know beforehand, of course. Filler time wasting trash should not be in games, period. Automata would be better game if they had much fewer, but even better sidequests.

Finally a release date. That was the main thing I kept chanting for when I saw the trailer. The world seems a lot juicier. I honestly thought we wouldn't be interacting with a lot of other people or go to a large populated town on earth.

Is there a single *gotdamned* thing those people are NOT offended by? Lord, it's unreal how many things they take umbrage with.

The game looks great. Eye candy? That shit has been around for years. Dead or Alive Xtreme anyone? Didn't see anyone up in arms there and it did well enough to get a sequel.

It sells. Deal with it.
Funny thing is they dont have any problem with how Bayonetta looks.

So? That makes no difference. It's still being endorsed and associated with their brand. They're quite literally supporting the game.

What other developers decide to do regarding female characters in their respective games has no bearing on what Sony/PlayStation's stance is regarding sexy female character designs.
It was always nonsense argument imo.
You think that sony doesn't decide how woke their games have to be or the limits that can't be passed? you think that days gone would be possible today? after the reviews it got? after sp2?

Cmon bud.

This game probably get a free pass because it's not one of their internal studios so sony is only partially accountable of promoting healthy beat...i mean boys club behaviors for white wankers.

You are never gonna see anything remotely similar by any first party sony studio until the mind virus is gonna die (hopefully).
At best you are gonna get another sex scene with abbold schwarzenegger in tlou3 or a lesbian scene with nate's daugher in unchy 5: among capitalists.

2B was also criticized but the massive success and awesome game it turned out shut them for good. You cannot argue against that without getting exposed as a crazed wacko.

As for Bayo, the thing is more nuanced. She is far more "outrageous" than Eve, but somehow she became an LGTB icon and got diplomatic immunity.

But why is Bayonetta and 2B allowed by Resetera and not this?
Like I said above, Bayonetta confuses me too. But I have a theory as to 2B - it's easier for transgender women to cosplay as her. 2B has relatively small boobs compared to many other female characters, so you don't need big boobs and 2B wears a very large skirt to hide a pre-op transwoman's, uh, extra equipment.

This game game get a free pass because it's not one of their internal studios so sony is only partially accusable of promoting healthy beat...i mean boys club behaviors for white wankers.

You're making the argument that Sony's 1st party is never going to do x or y when I didn't argue that, my guy. Again, it makes no difference whether or not any of them decide to emulate Stellar Blade, Sony/PlayStation is still backing it.
Why would I expect similar from TLOU games anyway? The creative direction of that series is a far cry from the stylish sexy tone of Stellar Blade. Why isn't this orange like that apple?
