>Even the developers joined in and criticized it as a 'scraping game', but this is not just personal vitriol. It is an expression of collective resistance toward ‘strangers’ who threaten the hierarchy of the console market monopolized by the Western world.>Double standards are not something that happened yesterday or today. When Neowiz's was released, foreign media referred to FromSoftware's and labeled it 'imitation'.>When Western developers released the Soul Like genre, those who praised it as 'genre inheritance' held Korean games to a strict standard of lack of originality.>Shiftup's also took issue with the character's appearance rather than gameplay and tried to judge the work based on 'PC (political correctness) caution' centered on the Western world.>The contradictions of the Western world become clearer when we turn the perspective to our own game. Unlike Mint Rocket's , which was embroiled in controversy over its indie qualifications due to an injection of capital from a large company, it defended the box office success of <Clérópsquir: 33 Expedition> under similar conditions.>The contradictory attitude that Korean games dismiss as commercialism when they secure excellent graphics and belittle them as unkind anomalies when they show originality does not work for their own games.>In the end, sarcasm toward the is another name for 'cultural fear' of a small Eastern country that completely absorbs their grammar and shows performance beyond that.https://www.globale.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=37369
>>736498795The small penised ones are correct.Even though it’s fair to say the game is being massively overrated for what it actually is, it’s clear the journalists have an agenda against it.
That's just clickbait because they're too dumb (or playing ignorant) to realize that the "cultural difference" is the depiction of women and a homogenous kingdom. Just like how everyone was up in arms over Kingdom Come: Deliverance yet happily accepted it's sequel.Maybe stop caring what the media says about a video game.
>>736498795western journalists are well known to be faggots. with that said, it's also true that most korean games are fucking boring, this one included. the game's issues have nothing to do with characters' appearance, in fact i think graphically and aesthetically everything looks great.
>>736498795Koreans rated the game poorly too. In fact, it was rated worse on steam by them than the West. Probably still is.
>>736498795Well why can't gooks just make something new instead of trying to be chinese?
>>736498795Wow an article in Korean written by a Korean is particularly nice to a Korean product?
It would have been praised, 5 years ago.Now theres open world fatigue, nobody has time to play these 200 hour games, especially since most of those 200 hours will be bland.
>>736498795Western journos already outed themselves calling CD devs an 'outside AAA studio'.If there's an outside then there is an inside, and the western journos are part of that inside.
>>736498795Bro westerns shit the hardest on western games
>>736498795Both sides are correct in this situation. The game would've gotten glazed way harder if it had been western, BUT it would not have deserved the glaze. It's like those shitty Horizon games, if they had been made in korea or china or whatever they wouldn't have gotten even a quarter of the spotlight they've been getting
>>736498795These Koreans are fucking retarded and don't understand the American far left if they think they are America first in any way
>>736498795Chinese/Korean hate in Western game journalism is their new 2000s/2010s Japan hate.They successfully made Japan docile and now they almost exclusively pump out American focus tested garbage with 0% sex and 100% DEI pandering, so journos moved on to the new emerging threat of China and Korea.Hopefully China and Korea can see what happened to Japan and learn
>>736499424Western gamers, like us.Not western critics.
>>736498795US games don't get praised lmao. That game Marathon got hardcore attacked.
>>736499351It's not even fatigue but just the natural consequences of 60 years of games offered on digital formats. I know High Schoolers playing Fallout 3 and GTA 4 right now, they wouldn't have even been born when those games came out but they are still fun for them to play today and unlike the 70s~00s where you needed physical media to play it, you can just use one of 19 store fronts to get the games illegally on your PC/phone. That's the problem: Why buy a new $60~$90 title when you can get 60 years of gaming classics for a few dollars? That's why this market is dying, they just stupidly thought kids would always want "new thing" forgetting new thing has been the same or worse than the old things of the last 20 years.
>>736498795why are gooks so thinskinned? huge victim complex
>>736499653By the gaming audience, not by journos. Journos are treating it as the ultimate golden goose, like it's impossible to fail.Journos don't have anywhere near the power they had in the 2010s though (this was their own undoing) so it hasn't been saving Marathon regardless
>>736499728You are all sleeping on how much Koreans hate America. I think out of all the Asians they despise us the most
>>736499779Marathon devs felt like it was being attacked for sport lol. They probably weren't even wrong either.
>>736499585>>736499779Why do they give a fuck what they think? They don't help sales at fucking all.When was the last time you bought a game because the critics said it was good? If anything most normies do the opposite of what place like IGN say.
>>736498795They're not wrong. And by the way you adapt to the sensibilities of western critics and industry insiders at your own peril. These people are hopelessly out of touch with the actual audience. A decade ago they were shouting from the rooftops about how their "modern audience"-aimed creative approach would lead to unprecedented player numbers and profits. Now look at the state of said industry.
>>736499891So why are they selling product to them?
>>736499973As Michael Jordan once said "Republicans buy sneakers too"
>>736498795why didnt they just make a better game? if the game wasnt so flawed people wouldnt criticise it so much
reminds me of when the chinese director of wukong seethed immensely for not winning gotysomething wrong with eastasian muh honour, japan isn't like this (except kojima kek)
>>736500126I personally am sick and tired of Chinese games that take place in ancient China. It's such a boring backdrop. Ancient Japan > Ancient China
>>736500126Japan has been in this industry long enough to know that they aren't the only ones making good games. These new guys, chinks and gooks, are like small dogs demanding everyone for respect in their first day in the dog pound.
>>736499653Western game journos have been desperately trying to prop that game up since before release. They just failed because no one takes them seriously anymore.
>>736500029So they want sales depended on people they hate?That seems really fucking stupid. >>736500464I think it's also the fact that Japan has enough established buyers that they don't always need those bigger markets, they have enough people buying their games here that it's not the end of the world if no one else buys them. I get the impression the other two are not so sure they can keep their locals buying and need those international sales.
>>736500767>That seems really fucking stupid.No you fucking retard they are a capitalist country so they still will sell to other countries even if they hate them. This is not a new concept. How dumb/European are you?
>>736498795Sorry, outlets only hand out good reviews when you pay them
>western games media is unfair because they don’t treat our slop with respect!>what the fuck is this Builder’s Gay 3 shit and why aren’t you gweilos buying Black Myth Whuchingchong?
>>736498795This is true. The game is actually pure goygruel but if any of the major western studios had made it, urinalists would be slobbing it off to high heaven, as they have many times before.
>>736498795Only hyper insecure bitches beg for recognition and whine about systemic racism when it isn't handed to them. It is repulsive when the chinese and koreans behave this way.
>>736499260The reason korean games suck is koreans have a different idea of fun. Thats why it comes across as souless.Now the chinese just rip shit off and some of the stuff they ripped off is actually fun but they also ripped off some bad or mediocre shit too.
>>736498795I'm surprised I haven't seen any criticism of the lack of brownoids and gays in the game
>>736501082>No you fucking retard they are a capitalist country so they still will sell to other countries even if they hate them.Yeah but the OP is basically them being mad at people that they hate for not buying more. It's a very strange mindset to hold that other countries are not as strange about. Whole sections of Japan have games that will never localize from the country because they last thing they want is outsiders making a mess of it.
>>736501860You just have autism or are from Europe it really is just that simple. This is not a hard concept to understand
>>736498795this happened to cdprojekt with cyberpunk. pretty sure it's just any company who isn't massive
>>736498795>the console market monopolized by the Western worldAh yes, Sony and Nintendo, famed Western corporations.
>>736501951It's not hard to understand but it is funny as hell to see people get that work up over it. They hate faggots and are getting mad said faggots won't fuck them in the ass for cashThat's all I'm getting at.
>>736498795Maybe they should stop making shit games
>koreans are getting redpilled directly on ESG DEI Journalists that work for Freemason Jesuits that hate white people and hate asians that have successful kingdoms
>>736499653Wasn't there a recent article that was simultaneously shitting on CD while praising Marathon?
This studio just seems so toxic, I wouldn't be surprised if all the DD2 hate threads have been made by them this whole time.
>>736499420Us vs Them tribal politics GOOD when leftists stand to lose money, otherwise it's called discrimination, racism, xenophobia.
>>736502037Sony was overtaken by Californians long ago. Add Xbox and Steam machines and you only have one East Asian console and these major Chinese/Korean games probably can't even run on it.
>>736504072*american
Not sure why studios still bother with mainstream gaymen outlets, they're obsolete.Now all you need to please today are the Shill Ups and the penguinz's of the intrawebs.
>>736498795Its openworld slop of the highest order. Both sides are retarded
>>736498795It's their fault for making shitty games for years. Crimson Desert is a good step towards fixing their reputation, but they've got a long way to go.
>>736498795They're right about the broad strokes but not for the reasons they think. Because the game is Korean western journalists feel free to give honest opinions about how derivative and mediocre the game is as there's no consequences to pissing off developers who were never going to give you better access to their games in any circumstance since you don't speak the same language.
>>736504456that could be true, but that has nothing to do with hit pieces being run against a game for non objective reasons
>>736498795>the console market monopolized by the Western world. Why are koreans so fucking schizophrenic? The console market is completely dominated by 2 japanese companies, nintendo and sony
>>736505204too much plastic sugary
>>736498795i want asians to call out western developers more seeing so many game devs and journalist squirm of the ff14 lead dev calling them out on their bullshit was funny
>>736505287what'd he say?
>>736505046Accurate
>>736505460more or less how it didn't go unnoticed that so many western game devs and journalist talked shit about jrpg's
Guess who owns the Western gaming media (besides the Jews)?SonyGuess who the Crimson Desert publisher refused an exclusivity deal with? SonyI hope I'm not noticing something here
>>736504072If you just changed a few words here, you'd cover our current political climate.
>>736500378I like it when they're not rehashing Romance of the Three Kingdoms or Journey to the East. Fallen Feathers was a good example of an exception to that until they censored it for hurting the feelings of the Chinese Communist Party.
>>736505748That could explain why so many companies are taking Sony exclusivity deals despite other companies saying how it lost them money.
>>736498795They are right, a lot of people don't understand that there is a sort of cartel in the NA game market.There is a cadre of journalists and consultant firms that band together to push their agendas.If you don't get the stamp of approval from these consultants then journos will flame your game.
>>736498795Lmao Koreans and pretending theyre victims name a more iconic duo
>>736507348Said cartel (of which the ironically named Cartel Del here is very loud and proud to be a part of, he's the "the cartel is why all black women in Western games are grocery store aunties" guy) is also bitchmoaning that nobody gives a fuck about them anymore. Any game developer or publisher who still thinks they need to abide by their rules (looking at you Japan) should just die.
>>736498795koreans so desperately want to be japanese its pathetic.
>>736505460That calling something a JRPG is basically insulting it.
>>736505046>western games journalists suddenly turn honest when they're not held accountable by their mastersThis still doesn't explain why they don't lie about foreign games as well. Hint: it's because it's in their interest to shit on foreign games. tl;dr an attempt was made
>>736505748Man.
>>736499068>it’s clear the journalists have an agenda against itIt's so clear that "western" journalism aka US outlets will shit and moan about every game that isn't made either in the US or canada, and absolutely spouts the highest vitriol against games that don't have a 70% of the characters with dark skin.
>>736498795>it sold well so you can't criticize it >the story is garbage but it's from asia so you have to like it >the controls were completely fucked at launch but you're being mean for pointing that out Get over yourself. CoD and FIFA also get constantly shat on despite being popular, but those games don't that whole victimhood thing you've got going on.
