  Isn’t this the game where reviewers/streamers)?) are not allowed to mention feminism?

  • rustyfish@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Just checked. It is. Fuck that CCP shit.

    Reviewers were also forbidden from using trigger words such as “COVID-19” and “quarantine”.

    • BreadstickNinja@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      So if I posted a review saying that Black Myth: Wukong is as badass as when Rosie the Riveter invented COVID in a Chinese lab, would they be upset?

    Specifically reviewers who want free keys aren’t allowed to mention the feminism stuff. Any reviewer paying for it out of pocket can’t be silenced or censored

    This is possibly fake as noted on another thread.

      It’s real according to someone from Forbes: nitter.poast.org/PaulTassi/…/1825193786273681489 . Reviewers didn’t get these guidelines but some content creators did, which is why everyone’s confused.

    How despicable. Hopefully this will Barbara Streisand in their faces eventually.

  AAA Chinese game, not surprising that it would be so popular but a majority must be Chinese player as it didn’t get that much coverage in the rest of the world as far as I understand from everyone’s reaction…

  • PunchingWood@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Not sure why people downvote you, but most must be. Because I checked the player count this morning in Europe and it was also at 1,5 million. The only ones that play games in early hours of Europe are a majority in Asia, more specifically China. This has also been my experience with online matchmaking in early hours of the day, it’s 9 out of 10 chance I got matched with either Chinese or Koreans during those hours.

    China supports in country stuff, most countries do really, so long as quality is comparable, and its been slowly but steadily getting there. Saw an article posted on lemmy somewhere earlier today how a locally made movie is topping their box office while Deadpool and Wolverine isn’t even top 10.

    source

    • Kecessa@sh.itjust.works ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      For sure, I wasn’t criticizing, just pointing out that it’s probably the reason why there’s so many players yet barely anyone in this thread had heard about it

      source
  • Ashtear@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s all over my RSS feeds, so it’s certainly being covered now.

    There’s been some (not exactly scientific) indications that the vast majority of the userbase is in China so it remains to be seen if it was actually a success in the West or not.

    It’s just the lemmy userbase wants to be different

    source
• inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Currently trying to avoid as many products as I feasible can that are owned directly by China, plus with the controversy of their review tactics being kind of about, I’ll pass on this game and wait for the seas to calm

  source

  • ATDA@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Hell I’d be afraid to protest torrent this one. At least on consoles their software could only spy on so much.

    source

    • filister@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Seriously guys, you think every digital product coming from China is done specifically to spy on your petty porn habits. Witch hunt 101.

  Fuck CCP.

  Shoutout to people in the other thread fighting about how nobody has heard of this game and that it isn’t highly anticipated

  source

  • ampersandrew@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I’ve barely heard about it, and here in the US, I would not call it highly anticipated, but perhaps the story is different in China.

    source
• juice702@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  CCP product. Looks cool but I’ll skip it or pirate it later.

  • DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Empress will need to be interested in it then cause it’s got the D.

• rustyfish@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Crazy. Never heard of it.

  source

  • Eyck_of_denesle@lemmy.zip ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    This is proof that lemmy crowd is a totally isolated minority. This is one of the most anticipated games of the year.

    source

    • rustyfish@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yes, I am only on Lemmy. I do not engage with other communities around the internet nor do I talk to anyone from the outernet. Especially not my friends who also like to play games.

      Jfc, game literally came out today and the fanboys are already insufferable.

      They’re probably playing casual furry games lol

• CosmoNova@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Surely China wouldn’t use their infamous and vast network of bot farms to push it’s most anticipated game of the year. Surely.

  Astroturf rubbish pushed by an authoritarian dictatorship.

      A strawman right out of the gate. Surely your tankie playbook is more subtle that that no?

  Ignoring all of the drama around it, it genuinely looks like a well made game. Will be waiting for the DRM to expire before trying it out.

  Well

  I must be sincere, and say I would never expected this

  It’s more players than Elden ring or Baldur’s gate 3 at launch.

  • BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Is that true? That’s pretty nuts.

    source
• The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Looked up a video of the gameplay last night, and it looks pretty cool. I wonder if it feels as good as it looks. Apparently this is a company that previously only made mobile games.

  Nice.

• arefx@lemmy.ml ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Is this a souls like game?

  source

  • PunchingWood@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I read some reviews comparing it more to God of War and Jedi Survivor games.

    Which sounds pretty good to me, although the style of the game hasn’t been really been appealing to me (yet).

    source
  • technomad@slrpnk.net ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Similar. Faster paced combat and no blocking.
