Scarlet Blade - WOW

[Resentful]

Wait, are male characters even an option? Yeah, so this is what soft hentai is like.

No and apparently all of the males are covered in armor compared to the females haha in terms of NPC's

There's actually a lore reason for this I think. I remember reading an article about the game a while back and there was something about women evolved to be stronger and tougher than men and got special powers or something... Yeah, videogame raisins.

So is the future loaded with sexy gene pools? Or is plastic surgery mandatory by law?

I gave it a try, figured it would be good for a laugh if nothing else. The launcher alone delivered on that front, with an ad for their '50 shades of pink' in-game lingerie. Yes, you spend real money to unlock sexy outfits for your characters among other things.

After the initial 'lol' at the stupid amounts of digi-boobs & innuendo everywhere the gameplay wasn't terrible. Fast paced, graphics are decent, environments & enemies somewhat creative, there seems to be the roots of some kind of plot in the starting quests but I only could be bothered up to about level 6. Gold spammers flooding chat as expected, as well a guild called Funtari recruiting, player names like 'AnalPrincess' etc.

Has a few nice features, like quest drops being auto-looted, but auto-run to objectives kinda makes the game feel like auto-pilot (literally just click on the quest shortcut to auto-run to the objective).

The RP perspective is a bit weird, it seems that you are unseen commander telling your cyborg/clone thingy what to do, so the character you fight with in game isn't actually 'you' in game, making it a mix of your cyborg talking to you & people talking to her.

I was going to ask if it had controller support, but then I thought to myself "it'd be hard to play with one hand and a controller."

Obviously a Queens Blade wannabe game , a formula that works (sadly).
There's a lot of freakish things out there, queens blade is one of them and wether it is asian or not doesn't matter that much.

Now to get to the point - as silly or weird as series like these are they are a manifest of sexuality running amoc which works on certain audiences if done right.
I have no urge to play Scarlet Blade at all considering I find it a blatand rip-off of such a manifestation and truth be told, I rather play TERA's cute loli characters or elven then something THIS over the top sexual and just poor taste.

I keep getting adverts for this, and to me it just looks like porno.

I really wish the game industry would move away from fuelling the overly perverted desperate nerds, and actually build a game where the armour wasn't a skimpy slutty outfit while they giggle and jiggle everywhere....

[Tradewind]

Is there more to combat than spinning around in a circle? Because that is all I literally saw in the trailer. haha.

That's how I fight.

Can't fuckin handle this swag!

I'll just.. leave this here..

[Dezerte]

I find this game highly lol-worthy, but not offensive in anyway, I can't take the game that seriously.

[Deleted]

Well the other name for it is
Queen's Blade Online.

If you know what Queen's Blade is you'd know well... pretty much the design, :P

haha still need to watch series 2!

[Noomz]

This game just came out recently in open Beta.
At first glance it's like a wtf lol... but the gameplay is actually sort of entertaining.
Not great mind you, but kinda fun nonetheless....

See ..... http://scarletblade.aeriagames.com/

Looks like your average asian MMO. Extremely generic and extremely uninteresting.

[Xilurm]

Well at least its F2P is more F2P that some other "F2P" game I know....

Also this doesn't have to do anything with the anime. They probably changed it's name in the west in order to avoid copyright problems.

All in all it's a nice game if you have nothing else to do. Like Tera for example.

I mean it doesn't matter how strong you are, you don't expose critical points.

Do you know about two games called WoW and SWTOR? Yeah....

If it actually had decent gameplay, I'd play it!

That said, I googled "Queen's Blade", saw the cosplayers and even I have second thoughts now, lol...

haha i had to google them aswell.. some of them are pretty scary lol. Then i came across this...



queen of blades not queens blade and its just amazing lol

[deathonabun]

Ship it to korea. Add cosmetic cash shop. ???. Profit.

My understanding is the game was originally developed for South Korean market where it is called Queen's Blade. The current beta is basically just for an English localization where in the game has been renamed to Scarlet Blade.

That's Tasha from spcats. She has a deviantART account with all kinds of cosplay.

The vocal samples of the classes on the website make me cringe. At least it gives a preview of how a class is supposed to look and sound like.

The game really is fan service material for those who enjoy the fictional female body (fictional as in unrealistic proportions) in action. I might give a try for giggles, but even TERA seems a bit more sophisticated in the long run.
