There I will be right and wrong.
Now why did you make multiple votes possible for this?

Media outlets will dock points for Stellar because they're mysogonists

Ronin because of the SJWs trying to tank Stellar for true beauty.

I dont know how that happened?

Stellar Blade will not go over well with the blue haired San Franciscan crowd who dominate the gaming media. Ronin looks like it will review poorly on its own merit but I still think it scores higher.

Game journalists are going to destroy Stellar Blade. We all know why.

Team ninja is a known quantity...
There combat and gameplay is at the very least good most the time.
Stellar Blade is Korean and usually those games are all style and no substance. I personally haven't seen a reason why Stellar Blade should be so beloved other than for horny boys
.
The demo got ripped away before I could try it myself but if we are purely going via precedent, RotR should be the better game

Someone tweet Shift Up to patch in a couple mumu outfits or maybe a Konami like code you can input at the title screen to make Fat Eve.

We only had one big korean game in the past years and it was almost as good (some would say AS GOOD) as some fromsoft games.Team ninja is a known quantity...

What are these multitude of important korean games that we had recently?
Edit: I forgot the diablo-like one but that one was successful aswell...

There are so many of them that to list them would be a waste.
So here
Category:Video games developed in South Korea - Wikipedia
We've had mmos, battle Royales, hero shooters, CS clones, crpgs and so on and so forth.
99% of the time it's all graphics and very little in interesting game design.
Lies of P was fine. But it was just a clone of other games (so much so they copied entire animations).
I have yet to play a Korean game that felt genuinely new, unique or more than a copy of something that already exists

A lot of non-korean showelware games are also crap, hall majority of games released in the market are bad to mediocre if we consider everything that comes out every year, i'm sure that a lot of japanese\european\american games are also crap of the highest order.
They made only 2 big games in the past years and they are both pretty famous and praised (P more tham the diablo clone).
I don't expect stellar blade to have better combat than nioh2 of course, but i saw the combat in ronin and it looks just weightless with a lot of sliding, stellar blade just look better to me combat wise, even if ronin is probably gonna be better mechanically (maybe).

Ronin feels like the better game.
It’s the story that’s the toss up. Music I feel will be Stellar Blade’s win. They put a lot of emphasis on it along with Keichi Okabe tracks. Graphically, I feel Stellar Blade is cleaner but Ronin is an open world so it depends on how big Stellar Blade is.
Subjectively, I have a soft spot for Stellar Blade with how it feels like it directly goes against the current western gaming climate. Ronin is more about history so I doubt there would be like a huge surprise storywise.
Both ips have a huge potential but Ronin is a lot more mainstream and is more palatable to the general audience. Stellar on the other hand feels like it would be cult hit and would amass a loyal dedicated fanbase if they nail it. I guess for comparison, it would be like NieR Automata vs Ghost of Tsushima.

I don’t think either will be mind blowing, but I think that Stellar Blade at least looks like the better game of the two.

Screw these useless aggregate websites.
True Chads are buying both games.

It's a known quantity vs a unknown quantity.
I'll wait for the demo, but like most Korean games I have physically played like crossfire and black dessert and even lies of p I'm expecting stellar Blade to just play like a middling nier with tons of jank and many copied elements from other games.
It looks flashy but so do all korean games, is there more though that remains to be seen

It also looks better animation wise. And I'm not talking about jiggling booty. There were several times watching Ronin previews that I grimaced at animations or what looked to be a bad transitional animation.

I thought automata was pretty mid gameplay wise even if some people love to idolize that game, not much variety and probably one of the more underwhelming platinum combat systems, i hope stellar blade is gonna be sensibly better and more varied tbh, i'm gonna be disappointed if automata level is what we get.

I voted Stellar Blade for 2 reasons: it had no competition and is probably smaller in scope so the lack of open world will make it more consistent. The fact that we have a demo ready with a month to spare is a good point too. Ronin will be bigger, probably with a better gameplay and more depth but it will to me really suffer to the comparison with Ghost of Tsushima.

Reviewers are stupid.
I believe that Ronin will end up being a better game (for me) because I know what to expect from Team Ninja, while on Stellar.... Well, I dunno. The MC is hot though and I know that's enough to annoy some people, which will probably affect their judgment, so Ronin will probably end up getting a better score.

Because of the woke journalists, i think Ronin will have better score (unfortunately).

Maybe Stellar Blade is the game most of the members here WANT and HOPE is the better game. But when it comes down to it, the question I posed is what we think professional critics will like better

Almost said Stellar but you're right Ronin will get the nod here.

Ronin will score better critically because it seems to be chasing all the right trends. Open world, action RPG, souls-like. It also doesn't appeal to the male gaze like Stellar Blade does, and we all know that appealing to men may as well be appealing to Hitler in current year. SB will score better with users though. As much as people don't want to admit it, the male gaze brings male $ as well, and that's what a game really needs.

Likely! im gonna preorder it, i just haven't seen enough to understand why it could get a higher score.
It certainly looks better graphically.

Woke agenda will remove 10-15 points from SB, so its gonna be Ronin for me
