Scarlet Blade developers thought to set the MMO world afire with their 'mature themed' game. We have carefully played Scarlet Blade to offer a fair review. See what we discovered before leaving your thoughts in the comments.At its grassroots, MMORPGs, are huge online open worlds, virtual realities in which we escape to, to essentially play out another life.
Scarlet Blade. Arkana, defend your faction and fight for control! The Royal Guards and Free Knights are looking for you to come assist them! Join 1 of 7 classes and fight to help strengthen your faction's control. Run through large open maps and fight through deep dungeons in this action styled MMO! Scarlet Blade gameplay review. The biggest shame of Scarlet Blade isn’t the vast amount of adult content (as an MMO game for adults), but that there are going to be people that can’t look past it. Unfortunately, I think I have to count myself amongst them.
Along the way we make friends, foes, hell some of us even find partners. But what an MMO shouldn’t be, is a shameful and downright degrading experience. Japanese and Korean gaming has often been an affair of anime like characters, colorful worlds and more than often, scantily clad characters. Take a look back at Tera, some of the games races were altered so the game didn’t look so perverse. Aeria Games latest foray into the MMORPG market, Scarlet Blade, is the complete opposite of this. Being approached to review this game was something I wasn’t expecting and what I experienced in this game was the aforementioned degrading and shameful experience. With that said, let’s move on to the final review.Read more of George Dimmock's.

Your moral views are irrelevant to aesthetics, probably shaped and nurtured by some corporate religion. This is a meta-ethical moral relativists world we live in by the wayMorals are absolutely relevant to aesthetics if the aesthetics offend.And that game offends a lot of ppl. But then again, why would someone read a porn movie review from a priest,if willing to try the game?
The guy have all the bias against the game. It's a crappy MMo, for sure, but not because of boobs.

It's a crappy MMo, for sure, but not because of boobsReviews are always subjective. And I am willing to bet every one of the reviewers on this site found the game rather offensive.You say, why would you read a porn review from a priest? Well, why would you inject porn shamelessly into an MMO?!
They would have been better off making a social virtual sex MMO instead of pretending like it isn't just a game for perverts.

This is a meta-ethical moral relativists world we live in by the wayMorals are absolutely relevant to aesthetics if the aesthetics offend.To some small degree it does.
But this view totally conflicts with logic and the very definition of aesthetics. I think he's mixing up what's morally ugly to what's visually ugly. Take for instance Rola Takizawa. Undeniable beauty with innate look of innocense. She had a legitimate potential to become a commercial star. She decided she needed money and went to porn.
Fans were surprised. Is she now aesthetically ugly.
Saying yes to that makes no sense what's so ever. Morally ugly yes. But not aesthetically ugly.

Morally ugly yes. But not aesthetically ugly. I will never understand why people feel a need to review something they know they aren't going to like in the first place. The only thing that could be called porn, would be some of the puzzle's that you unlock as you level up, those would be classified as softcore porn as there is no penetration. Other than that the game is a decent themepark from Aeria games.
Believe it or not some people can look at a game like that and laugh while not being offended. But hey each to their own.P.S. Do we need gwar to fight the morality squad again? Originally posted by nerovipus32what i always wanted to know is why do boobs offend people so much?When MMORPG.com had an ad on the site that showed a pirate man with pubic hair showing, the gamer dude masses raged. If the game's aesthetics were reversed and had nutsacks on display, you and everyone else would be wondering wtf and 'offense' would be found in droves.That's why it's offensive; not because it's tits, but because it's only allowed, because it's tits. If it's men, it's wrong, but if it's women, they're never naked enough.
Yes, that is offensive. I have to say, I found this review disappointing. It reminded me a bit of a broken record.I get it.
You didn't appreciate the art style. I think after the 3rd use of shameful and degrading that everyone got that. But you let your personal opinion of the character models essentially poison the rest of the review.There's very little detail about actual gameplay, yet multiple lines about the graphics. Also, I even googled the game images to see if they were truly so depraved and vile, and it just reminded me of Second Life (which, for the record, is MUCH more vulgar and has practically a cult following)Generally not up to par, IMO.

If it's men, it's wrong, but if it's women, they're never naked enough. Yes, that is offensive.1) Male nipples are shown everywhere. Why are female nipples more offensive?2) I would find an advert with a ballsack showing to be hilarious.Prudes are so annoying. Clothes are functional, they don't define us. I don't think it was a very well written review either. I'm fine with the score and the fact this guy seems to hate it, but he mentioned 'degrading' and the like far too much in most of the categories.
This seems to indicate he had a sort of bias, or is allowing cultural upbringing or the influence of other people's remarks affect his actual review and score.What about for people who can remain objective when games come around? To those who don't think something is repeatedly degrading?
This just seems like a 'stay away' writing more so than anything objective review; he even makes the remark 'If you don't know this game, stay away.' As opposed to just writing about the actual pros and cons in an unbias matter and simply write what he thinks many would consider a con to their experience playing the game.Honestly, I get the feeling he thinks everyone expects him to write this as such. Perhaps he thinks he might be considered a pig if he doesn't. But as a whole it's not what I would expect in terms of a valid official review.I've seen videos of this game, and I just might download it to see if there are things so overly offensive that I can't write anything good about it, or write what I think others will view as a negative in an unbias fashion.But I think the fact of the matter is that if someone would download a game expecting this - or even wanting it - then they shouldn't complain about such things as morals or the like.
The log in page is likely to show case exactly what the game is about. The target audience is set, and writing this article is anything but 'fair' for the points addressed above and by others. Due to frequent travel in my youth, English isn't something I consider my primary language (and thus I obtained quirky ways of writing).
German and French were always easier for me despite my family being U.S. Citizens for over a century. Spanish I learned as a requirement in school, Japanese and Korean I acquired for my youthful desire of anime and gaming (and also work now). I only debate in English to help me work with it (and limit things).
In addition, I'm not smart enough to remain fluent in everything and typically need exposure to get in the groove of things again if I haven't heard it in a while. If you understand Mandarin, I know a little, but it has actually been a challenge and could use some help.
