Shift UP Game Designer Disappointed as Players Favor Stellar Blade's aesthetics over Gameplay

>In a recent interview with South Korean game journalists, Heung Min Son, a game designer at Shift UP, expressed concerns about the global reception of Stellar Blade.His desire was for players to show more interest in the gameplay over the aesthetics.

>Heung Min Son: "We're grateful for the positive response from players locally and abroad, but as game designers, it's slightly disheartening to observe limited discussion about the gameplay mechanics."

Thoughts on this?

      I liked P3 for the dungeon crawling and fusion autism. Same with P4.
      I liked Tales of Destiny PS2 due to the high octane gameplay. Ditt for Kingdom Hearts II
      I like FFXII for the hunting and bosses.

      There isn't much to say about the gameplay, as an action game fan (NGB, DMC, etc) I can say it looks very mid, but we will only know for sure after the game gets released.

      We can talk about the aesthetics, and yes, the female characters look like dolls and the MC is oversexualised with all the creepy butt shots.

      She doesn't look 14 at all, she looks like a doll with a Korean jaw reduction. It's actually hard to guess her age because she doesn't look human.

    He's not wrong. The coomer part is good, but the gameplay is just dime in a dozen chink/asiatic hack and slash game.

    I don't want a coomer game, I want a GOOD game with coomer aspect.
    Well, at least this is a start. Hopefully there will be less globohomo, and more games featuring sexy women in the future.

    The last few trailers have shown mostly cutscenes with small bits of gameplay sprinkled in. If they showed any amount of uninterrupted gameplay, we might have something to talk about. They've shown too little for me to decide if I'm even interested in the game.

        Here's your gameplay. Be sure to spread the word!

        >Health bar requires shields to be fully depleted to damage (both on you and on enemy)
        >Overflow damage through shield is very low. Probably to encourage aggression with high shield and defensive play with low shield
        >Shield segmented into regions that probably don't recharge after depleted or have a short delay between segments (changed since the prototype)
        >Parry "health" below shields. Not sure what happens when you remove all the parry squares, probably some dazed state that lets you do massive damage
        >BE is some meter that you get 1 box per parry/dodge and expend 4 boxes per special attack
        >BU is some aggression mechanic that builds up when you attack. Probably lets you burn the meter down with other special moves.
        >Looks like there are equip-able skills for attacking and possibly a mode shift to whatever that small red set of buttons represents
        >health item on d-up, no clue whats on d-down
        >some ultimate move type shit recharging above the health item
        Not sure what else we can get out of this but seems like it has a bit of depth to it

          Blade an Soul was the predecessor to true action mmos like TERA, Vindictus and Dragon's Nest, since the game technically released in 2009. However tab targeting and lock on existee because the majority of gameplay relied on fighting game style grapples and counters.

          Unfortunately none of these mattered because while the action and aesthetics were both good, the rpg gameplay didn't fricking exist, the stories were non-existent and/or barely translated slop. It's just not enough to save them from the standard korean grinder feel.

    Are we going to have to wait a hundred years for normal heterosexual men to be so normalized that even morons who are easily swayed by vapid movements and social pressure are honest about liking it? Let's just go back to having fun and shore up the defenses against misandrists and prudes better this time by going full chad yes when pressed. We'll all be happier. Except for the feminists, who will never be happy because they hate both men and women as they actually exist in reality and take no responsibility for their misery.
