True. But it is also somehow a fault of the SQEX's marketing, that the people thought this. The streamers showed the crowd how the game really is.

Not sure what you mean honestly.
Even so tho, I think the marketing is quite honest for what the game is.
Mostly I think people just make assumptions '' cuz Japan '' and because it's not Western.

People are kinda shallow about it tho, a lot of people will look at a game like Guilty Gear Rev 2, Skullgirls or Blazblue and think '' weeb game '' but then they'll look at Mortal Kombat as the '' real and mature hardcore fighting game ''.
Anyone who has played these games know how full of shiet that take would be and it seems to mostly be a Western mentality.
Somehow Smash gets more acceptance too.

It's the same with stories in games, I just can't sympathize with people who will write games like the Drakengard games and Nier Replicant and Automata off because of the character designs.
To me it's just kinda sad if someone needs the presentation to be like The Last of Us or something in order to take it seriously and very limiting to the media.
People are obviously entitled to like and dislike what they want but when they act like their personal opinions means something about the game and that there's nothing to it then I think they're kinda just being stupid.
Or like if someone can take the story in Mortal Kombat seriously regardless of the constant retcons every game and with the marketing 99% revolving around comedic levels of gore some of which was literally conceived through crayon drawings as the original concept.
But then they can't take FFXIV or Automata seriously, to me that's pretty ridiculous and sad.

I think a lot of people are just yelling '' weeb game '' because it's '' different '' and they're pretty intolerant and close-minded to things even just a little out of their comfort zone.
