After the release of the horrid avatar update, Pokémon GO fans are trying to get items refunded. This has led to some getting threats of being banned.
Shift Up has released Stellar Blade day one update 1.002 on PS5, and those who preloaded the game should be notified of this update.
Do you really not know this is about the n-word or are you saying that black people can't get offended because it upsets you?
I can't believe they're censoring this game on day 1. Games just aren't the same.
/s in case it's needed. I'm fine with them making these changes that they might not have known is culturally insensitive to some people in the big ole world. But that's just me.
They are censoring something that is deemed offensive by Journalists quoting the offensive term verbatim. They are typing it intentionally in articles while in the game it's a wall texture saying Hard next to a unrelated 3d model sign that says R store. Is it offensive or not? Crazy town.
At least IGN just shows the term with a screenshot of the game. Because it's their "discovery" and to not show hypocrisy in their HUGE vitue signal.
Hard R is the not offensive way to describe an offensive term. Are they going to type "Ha$$ R" or not use the term now?
Oh, hey, I agree with you that IGN and other journalists are dumb. Not disagreement there. But, I think for a game going out to millions of people across the world? It's not something they want associated with them. It's just horrific PR.
Add to the horrific PR nightmare that this is the first major Korean-developed Sony-published title, if I'm not mistaken.
There aren't that many Korean developed titles in general. And the allowance of this only would drive a bigger fissure in east vs west especially after Final Fantasy XVI released featuring no black characters at all...
Not a good look for Sony regardless of how you personally feel about it or the people that talk about it.
I'm not saying it shouldn't have been changed. It's an easy fix and looks like it was an easy fix.
But the word HARD being too close to the letter R being a horrific PR nightmare and a indication of a racist developer is beyond crazy.
I'm offended by the sight of blood a d violence and find violence to be very insensitive...
We can all play stupid and pretend to be offended by graphics and fake worlds.
I really enjoyed the demo.
I'm going to play through and max out on story mode then go to the challenge mode afterwards.
This game is very challenging but fun.
Especially for timing on the parrying and blocking.
Got the Deluxe Digital Edition (PS5) pre ordered.
:)
Poised to make its mark, Stellar Blade is a stylish adventure but, will it cut through the competition to soar past comparisons?
Gimme some Rockband to beat!

Cool Contest Cat!
I actually PhotoShoped a N4G pumpkin a few years back on the forums just for fun!
Its actually really easy and fun to do for a chance at some free games!
BTW I'm partial to Mortal Kombat! ;D
Have fun!
You just opened a can of worms by allowing photoshop. Photoshop is what I do best, better than any of my other skills and better than anyone I know. I will be back with a submission you better believe.
- You have until Midnight (PST) October 19, 2010 to enter.
Thats really short notice for an art project. BTW am I able to enter....
Well I guess I'm out, unless a drawing of a pumpkin with an artistic design is okay :) at least on rather large paper (it's sitting in my car so don't have the dimensions but I think it's 11xsomething). Don't have photoshop anymore and I can't carve worth crap [never carved before].
Well good luck to those who enter!
-Edit-
The paper is 18x24 I was way off lol.
what is a "Jack-o-Lantern!" :/
Before u start facepalmin, take in mind English =/= First Language
