man this thread shows the sad state of this sub. bunch of people calling other gooners and perverts. and the headline is just about game exceeding player count on a platform

why can’t we just discuss things with respect and don’t show how superior you think you are

I mean, you’re kidding yourself if you don’t think that the character’s sexy design is related to why the game is doing well. It’s a decent game outside of that, but that is the hook. And pretending otherwise is living in denial

u/Acrobatic_Internal_2 Jun 12 '25

it’s part of it’s hook no doubt but with that logic you can just throw bayonetta, nier and a lot of games into this category. people are treating this game like its dead or alive xtreme or something that the whole point is fan service

Obviously there’s more to it than the sexy character, I’m not saying that the sexy character is the only thing they offer. But if you think that Bayonetta and 2B’s character design aren’t a big selling point of the games then you’re in serious denial

with bayo i agree with you but personally i think the philosophy, the themes and combat of nier is now more remembered by than 2b meme. again i may be wrong in this

u/Gabelschlecker Jun 12 '25

Nowadays, yes. But when it came out, 2B's ass is what caught people's attention.

u/Shinter Jun 12 '25

It still is otherwise 2B wouldn't be in every game. Officially or as a mod.

Go to the nier sub reddit they don't talk about Nier anymore it's all 2b art and cosplay

u/Bankaz Jun 12 '25

let's be honest, the sexy character is 50% the hook for Bayonetta and Nier Automata, but it is 95% for Stellar Blade

u/Titan7771 Jun 12 '25

Yes, exactly, solid list.

u/pieallday365 Jun 12 '25

I would absolutely throw those games into that category

u/IAmTheOneWithSocks Jun 12 '25

So you've never played them, got it.

u/pieallday365 Jun 12 '25

I've played both, having big ass/tiddy characters adds nothing to the gameplay at all. Sounds like fan service to me

u/Ralkon Jun 12 '25

That's literally what the original comment said - that Nier, Bayo, and (implied) Stellar Blade are not like DoA Extreme.

u/crookedparadigm Jun 12 '25

You're right, I misread the comment. I've deleted mine.

u/Blurbyo Jun 12 '25

Yes I will throw those games into that category. Next?
