I can't understand the hype over this game.

Where are the people tearing it apart for its male gazeyness? Where are people tearing it apart for it's fridging of 2B? Of the disposability in which it regards her body? Of how fetishistically it treats queer relationships? There is a fucking "explode 2B to get a panty shot" button.

I enjoyed the game for what it was, but I'm not seeing the critical perspectives I was expecting to see?

@Salomao I had been wondering similar. Me and my partner saw the trailers and basically thought "that game looks amazing, hooray for Platinum and their ability to make great mechanics. However, all the creepyest side of male gaze, so not playing."

Other games news happened, I haven't looked into it since, and seeing all the uncritical hype on here, I idly wondered if they'd recut it or something to. Not enough to go check.

I'm interested to hear why people aren't as cross with it as I was expecting. I got the impression the exploitation in it was pretty earnest, so it doesn't even seem to have the "cheesecake" defence
