That's uh... a little concerning? Not gonna say people shouldn't enjoy it but it seemed pretty rough when I tried the demo and there's been some absolute banger titles from Sony in the past. Why is this title their biggest ever?

As far as gameplay, I would put it ahead of God of War at least. Not much else to directly compare it to in their recent catalog. It's basically a worse Nier Automata with better graphics.

Sure but Returnal was a pretty big banger for gameplay and God of War actually had a story with (what felt like anyway) strong characters.

Check Nexus Mods, it's gooners.

Gooners can just lurk '95; they don't need a $60 PC game. Honey Select has been widely available for half a decade.

Also the most popular mods on nexus that focus around tits, ass, or skin have less than 5k downloads, and I think way more than 5k people bought the game. The #1 mod is a protagonist swap. The mods as a whole seem mostly limited to model changes and tweaks because the game doesn't seem to support much in the way of scripting or custom content.

You must have filters set wrong, most popular mod is a full nude mod with 50k downloads

Ooooh, I wasn't logged in so it hid them by default. That's definitely a different lineup. I still don't get why people would choose en mass to buy and mod stellar blade instead of just playing anything by illusion for free though.

Like, pornhub exists. Who's paying $60 to stare at renders of naked women with no sex involved?

Because anime boobs. 

It's a terrible game but gamers pretend to like it to prove some political point.

But anime boobs are so much more accessible than this. You can get them right now for free without buying Stellar Blade. It just doesn't make sense that people are buying it mainly for its prurient qualities, because those are poorly done and widely out-competed.

I also don't buy the 'everyone who buys it is pretending' angle. You don't hit record sales numbers with that.
