If it's a racist term that doesn't have a teaching moment, take it out. Not everything means the same things in every country, and if something in South Korea means something different in America that hurts someone for no reason just change it. I'm not going to read random words on a wall, it doesn't change the enjoyment of the game for me.
Rolling Stoned has been cooked for awhile. Legacy media lives off their billionaire owners like parasites until the day comes where they don't want to waste their money anymore.
@cis4659 Do you know what the "n word" is? If so, black people use the word, but they replace the "er" with an "a." The term "hard R" refers to actual racists using that word but with a strong "ER" Instead of an "a" at the end.
Stella Blade would have been just another cool looking Hack and Slash a few years ago. Yet the whole propaganda of destroying female beauty in games has been creating all this nonsense controversy.
I think it's more about destroying things that straight men like. Cus the people going after Stellar Blade love sex, they just don't like when straight men are happy.
Too many morons with a platform to share their views. RG3 actually thinks Day One patches are weeks in development. I know for a fact they often finish the night before game's launch.
@@JimboShiesty We're talking how about gaming used to be far more simple, when people used to just talk about the quality of the games and not just make riots over sexualization and all that stupid s**t.
I’m 43 years old and never heard that term until IGN started screeing about it. I don’t think anyone would have noticed or cared at all, but for IGN trying to claim a scalp, or get something of a consolation prize for failing to take this game down.
"Hard R" can also refer to a game/movie with a solid R rating for mature content. That's almost certainly what it means here as the developer was explicit that they wouldn't censor the game in any region (specifically for violence in Japan).
deadpool movie was a hard R but ive never heard it used racially, ever. its those freaking attention seeking clout chasing games journalists and SJW twitter idiot A-holes man
Considering this was found in Stellar Blade, I thought “Hard R” was a reference to R-rated movies. Didn’t even think of the N bomb, if you think Hard R refers to that, maybe you’re just being R word.
If the people complaining about this game based of there polical views go unchecked.....by others calling out there crap.... thell just be emboldened and it'll be worse the next time. We have to check this crap, before there politics try to ruin everything. But I could be wrong.
@28colecj nah, you're right about not leaving it uncheck....but there is a right and wrong way to go about it. And what we are seeing with Stellar Blade is the wrong way. It wasn't like there was clear evidence of consultant firms straight up ruining beloved IPs for stuff they made up, Stellar Blade was a far removed from that stuff as it could be and still managed to get lumped in thanks to to few but very loud grifters on either side who either make it their whole personality or need those sweet youtube bucks (which I'm gonna be honest, can't even knock the youtubers as I have a glimmer of hope that it's all curated just to get those clicks and don't actually believe the stuff they say).
@@larrywoolfolk8224To be honest you’re right as it’s sad,but true blue haired Twitter will use this game as an example to not make games like this again. Which means maybe not even a “Bayonetta 4” or a sequel to Stellar Blade. If craziness is what people want,craziness is what they’ll get.🤷♂️🤦♂️
I can't even imagine what going on through the mind of a person who thinks that shift up actually did this intentionally. Good on them for taking care of things quickly, I don't see this necessarily a censorship, I see this as them working hard to try and keep the conversation on what they want it to be on, which is the quality of the game... Oh and Eve hotness.
Finally, someone that I can agree with. I have been saying the same since the beginning of this situation. We need a better word to describe this. To me, censorship is to remove anything that belonged to the artistic vision or message that the game wanted to provide. Editing a random texture that had no importance to the game other than being a random graffiti is an entirely different concept
Negative publicity isn't necessarily bad. This is exactly what happened to GTA back in the day, and look at it now. One of the best selling franchises ever. This kind of media attention just fuels the fire and makes people want to buy the game that much more. Majority of the time when you tell people not to do something or that they shouldn't, it just makes them want to do it more. So these media outlets are just setting this game up to sell like hotcakes.
They got rid of it because they know how the majority of men are going to feel playing that game. And I don't blame them: 10:36 (Lord have mercy, I am down bad) 😂
Easiest way to solve this is to have an option in the game menu to censor or not. Its called choice.... oh yeah I forgot they don't want us to have that.
Now I'm black and my wife is ethnic and we use the term hard r when we describe movies that are pushing it before getting the NR17 rating. I assume that's the same for Stella they are pushing the limit
The more i see, the issue now i understand this woke culture their are desperately tried everything to make the game fail. Guys lets buy the game, dont let the woke win❤
Well, normally when we black folks, use the phase "Damn he used the HARD R". its means someone intentionally used the er at the end to be racist, however the term hard r, doesnt feel racist to me as it never been used as a insult. at the most ive heard yeah i said it with the hard r, but that part wasnt the insult the actual n word was. also ive never had someone say " hey youre a hard r " lol. normally they just say the actual word or some other insult like calling us a monkey or something. so feel like this is a bit blow out, to be upset about. while understanding some of us and even me if i saw it may have thought, is they trying to be funny. but looking at the pic i dont think it would have clicked like that for me because it isnt the same print.
Honestly, while I am not usually one to go nuts over a little bit of censorship unless it fundamentally changes the game, this would bother me if IGN was part of the change happening. I'm still gonna buy this and won't be taking to Twitter/X to scream out loud how important I am and my voice deserves attention because they censored MY game, but it still rubs me the wrong way even though the effect is entirely superficial.
I grew up in the bronx and i had no idea what “hard r” until watching this video and i had to google it. These woke people really see racism first and nothing else
I think this whole situation is stupid and pointless but I wouldn't call it censorship. People seem to forget that one of the most important aspects of racism is intent.
Yeah agree with you completely here, I think it's a duck up to write that, I don't think they were intentionally racist, it's probably just dumb, and it's good that they'll remove it.
If you google it it tells you "hard r" is in reference to R rated movies this is a total fabrication. If anything they were trying to say "harder" with a sexual undertone like how they had the word "boobies" hidden elsewhere. You don't hate game journalists enough.
I have absolutely no idea what hard R means but I do know some people are just sick minded and just want to corrupt everything they can. Sick, broken and corrupt minded people often want others to follow them with the same mindset.
@@DeadPhoenix86DP kinda seem like they may be. the term hard r is used a lot here, but that term isnt it self racist imo. i say it a lot myself, when kids online say the n word constantly. im like damn not only did you say it you used the hard r, stop being racist cause you losing. for context i am black, and personally i dislike other races using it in my presence anyway.
I'm American and Black and I have never heard of this term outside of a movie rating. I still need clarification so I guess I'll look it up. Edit: I looked it up. This is a ridiculous situation.
7:15 unless IGN has informed Shift Up way before the embargo was lifted. They agreed to patch it, developed it, but IGN released the article anyway to give the illusion that Shift Up bent the knee.
People that spend their whole time hunting down anything that is even a little bit insensitive need to grow a damn backbone and get a full-time job while they’re at it!
I disagree. Shift Up can put out a game patch same day if they believe it's that important. Yes, they will have to pull some strings but it will get through without much or any checks. Let's also not forget that Stellar Blade was published by Sony. Also we don't know whether IGN or other gaming media didn't ask questions beforehand alerting them to it, or maybe beta-testers informed them of the sensitivity of it in the US market.
Everyone I know knows what the Hard R means.You may not know but most people do in America.Its an issue because it's hurtfulll to some and dismissing it is kinda trash even tho it's not a big deal for me.I understand tho
If the R shop woman was black, I'd be giving that coincidence a side eye. But since she's not, it seems like an honest mistake and it doesn't feel like there were any bad intentions. That being said, I also don't really see them patching it as "censorship." It was them fixing an unfortunate mistake in the game. Some people were offended, and they felt it necessary to change it. I don't think it was a big thing, but I'm also aware that everyone is different so I'm mature enough to not call people "snowflakes" or "woke" for the way they see things. Them doing a tiny edit to wall graffiti in their game is not that serious. People turn non issues into issues on both sides of these arguments when we have real issues going on in the world.
This issue is getting the foot in the door to censor more and more, which happened with the clothing for Eve’s outfits. Crying wolf when it comes to being fake-offended is for pushing a narrative, not the topic that’s brought up which is just a tangent in discussion. Hard R if anything probably has sexual innuendo associated to it. It’s a clear reach to insist it’s a racial slur. It never existed, and interpretation of taking in the experience of the game as a whole is solely up to the player and the audience.
People are crying for nothing and everything these days… however, this "controversy" made you record this video and now i am aware of this game that i didn’t hear about previously… so i guess this a good thing because now i want to play this game!
The Metacritic score could have been higher. If you read a lot of the lower scores most of them say good things about the game then immediately talk about sexualization or her "exaggerated" assets.
Im an American and know nothing about Hard R. What the heck is it? I tried Google, I did not get any explanation of its definition. Can someone explain it for young folks.
Changing games is a very common thing for many reasons. Usually due to marketing as devs want to make money and if they block off one market they can’t make money simple. Nothing to do with woke. I fully agree here
My stance, is that NOTHING should be censored in an ADULT game... It's literally why it's an adult rated game... Bunch of PANSIES these days...
Especially since we're paying $70 plus dollars.
This is correct no removal required.
Definitely!🤔

The Metacritic score could have been higher. If you read a lot of the lower scores most of them say good things about the game then immediately talk about sexualization or her "exaggerated" assets.
Agree. I'm only a few hours in, and this game feels like an 8.5 or 9.
I’m not American, hard r made me think of the r rating in movies and games. When a film is super gory it is known to be a hard r.
Im an American and know nothing about Hard R. What the heck is it? I tried Google, I did not get any explanation of its definition. Can someone explain it for young folks.
Changing games is a very common thing for many reasons. Usually due to marketing as devs want to make money and if they block off one market they can’t make money simple. Nothing to do with woke. I fully agree here
Put a fucking R rating on it done simple , its now an Adult game. now lets all go HARD R on it lol.
This is nonsense I’m getting tired of the industry finding something wrong or that they don’t like with a game smh 🤦🏻♂️
Even this game is gonna be out ? It's always gonna be an update for any situation that is required?
I’m going to buy this game and a ps5 just to piss them off
People being overly sensitive about other people being overly sensitive. Perfection 👌
Can't wait too play it
I’ve lived in America my entire life, I have never heard of the phrase “Hard R” ever before this controversy, outside of the context of movie ratings.
