>>750601037Yet the west will win again.
ban steam charts threads
oh look another generic looking chinese game i don't care about. a chinese game scoring high sales and player counts is nothing considering the massive population of that country.
>>750601037Didnt Wukong have like 3 million? This game must be ass
>UE5 slop has a million concurrent playersI guess chinks don't care
>>750601037>less than 100k non-chinese concurrent Flop
And it'll still be forgotten a week after release just like every other korean and chinese game.
>>750601037Its peaking during chinese hours. So i doubt western players will move the needle much.It was the same case with black myth wukong.Also fun fact, the ceo of the company started making games on rpg maker... Pic related is his first game rainblood town of blood.All of his games are in the same world as phantom blade, they just got bigger budget thanks to the success of black myth wukong swinging wide open the gates for AAA games (instead of mobile and gachaslop) Investor money is flooding in.
>>750601462Forgot link to ceo statement https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/4115450/view/698779962638860721?l=englishits their first AAA game, imagine how future games will look like, when these studios actually get experience in making AAA.China might just become a new Japan as in delivering high quality game separate from western flavors.
>>750601037Yeah obviously, its Chinese. Same thing happened with Wukong. Whats so surprising about that?
THE GAME IS ROLLSLOP PARRYSLOP SOME STOP CHINA
I bet the CCP would publicly execute you if you don't bloat the numbers.
>>750601162It's been confirmed preorders have dropped 50% after the Cyberleeks.
>>750601037Chinks can't anything original
>>750601162It'd be pretty sad if they didn't considering how many shills they're paying
>>750602256Chinese and Korean governments are confirmed to invest in and shill their games.
>>750601162>won't be released on steamSorry, no bragging rights for you.
>>750601264but the game was actually pretty good so why is this relevant?
>>750601264Those were launch date sales In the end around 30% of the sales came outside of china which is over 9 million copies
>>750602335Y'all are getting paid? I'm marketing GTA VI for free
>>750602256It's CCP backed so of course. Same shit as Wu Kong and the absolute silence that came after a month in.
>>750602447I kneel, consoomer cattleGOD...................
>>750602681only 20 days left
>>750602240Try again ESLbro
>>750601264This. If your game is primarily successful because of China, it's fraud.
>>750602986how does this affect the quality of the video game, exactly?
>>750601037These Chinese motherfuckesr have a lot of nationalist pride, they'll buy and play any kind of dogshit so long as it's Chinese
is the game actually pure skill based like fromsoft games or is it press x to awesome slop?
>>750603023FRAUD
>>750603023his tax money doesn't go to the country in the middle east so it's le bad
Give me one good reason why you retards still keep seething about china>Doesn't attack anyone, haven't dropped a single bomb in nearly 50 years despite having the world 1st-2nd mightiest army>Floods the world with cheap solar panels>Neither woke nor farrighties >But the western pedoligarchs starving out countries, arming genocides, bombing and overthrowing countries left and right are telling you through their media empire that they are the baddies You can't be this stupid to still eat up this shit
>>750603107if that's all you're going to keep spamming i accept your concession and you lost and got rapedkeep seething about games you never played, faggot Kotaku employee
>>750603163FRAUD FRAUD FRAUD
>>750603083>pure skill >fromsoft gameslol
>>750603174mindbroken and buckbroken to a concerning degree
>>750603126censorship of speech, anti-gun, extremely woke (bans nudity in all media), destroyed the hong kong movie industry, porn is banned, solar panels are bullshitdo i need to go on, china is garbage and should be nuked out of existence
>>750603258ok but i don't live there so how does any of that affect the quality of the video games in question?
>>750603238FRAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUDD
>>750603309violence is heavily censored for example, as a result all their games are wuxia shit that cannot resemble anything modern and contemporary
>>750603126>1st-2nd mightiest armyNot even remotely true. China routinely lies about their population and it's self evident when you see these giant cities and they are all literal ghost towns.bugmen can cope and lie and say "t-the cost of living there is too high that's why no one lives there, we all still live in the countryside and mountains, trust", which then goes completely against their supposed manpower.>floods the world with cheap trashYeah, and it shows. Every electronic I've owned in the last 10 years has shit the bed within a few years, max.Now they aren't even cheap anymore, though. Go on aliexpress and prices have all 10x'd>neither wokeThey fund woke shit in the west to destabilize it. Tencent pushes so much faggotrannyism in western media it's laughable.Also censorship. Also they cuck to their own feminists and censor their own media all the time.>le west badbugs are just as bad, even if their methods are seemingly non-violent 1st order, they cause violence down the line. Look how many loony troons there are.
>chinkslopI wipe my ass with your game
>>750603323the fact you are dedicating so much time to seething about chinks and not the actual scourge upon video games, westoid devs, tells me a lot about you. anyone who still thinks chinks and gooks can't make good games these days is a genuine retard (gooks much more than chinks though)
If a game does well on Steam it means the chinese are playing it
Is it on ESG? Steam is a dead platform
>>750601037Many chinamen together strong.
>>750603258>censorship of speechBro, the west is literally designating criticism of their genocidal military proxy as raccism/antisemitism, while designating non-violent activist groups against it as literal terroristsMeanwhile china is literally just jot allowing western propaganda terms (and bybpropaganda I mean shit like hwo you believe the CIA propped up failed overthrow of Tibet by arming and training local radicals was some freedom fight china crushed rather than the US just failing their proto-Taliban) >anti-gunUS has 6 times more prisoners per capita than china has (only 30% of those are blacks). Those guns aren't doing anything in making youh less oppressed, they only help you get more school shootings>destroyed the hong kong movie industry,With what policy? Hong kong has full autonomy, china never enacted anything on them that would have changed it's movie industry. Martial arts movies just went out of mass popularity after a certain decade>Porn is bannedPorn industry and prostitution is. Noone gives a fuck if you go on a japanese porn site, millions do in china>solar panels are bullshitIt's cheap long term energy source even if you are one of those fucks who thinks climate change is a conspiracy theoryHell even if all this shit you said were real issues, these would be still minor nitpicks compared to the atrocious shit the zogbot empire in the west is doing, making you an objectively biased faggot trying to fearmonger or boycot china in specific
>>750603126Grab hags, covid, and solar panels suck. Further, all their construction projects are profoundly shoddy.
>>750603402>bugs are just as badThey are far worse. A bank tanks your money and denies and compensation when they run off with it. In the states you can sue, you can just complain. In China you will have Chinese mobsters assault you with baseball bats because the bank was connected to local government officials and the number 1 rule is to not make the government in China look bad. Its a nation running on lies.
>>750604115>while designating non-violent activist groups against it as literal terroristsYou mean like retards who went to a holding facility for illegal immigrants, shot off fireworks around it, came with rifles, had texts, dms and other messages talking about bringing rifles to make law enforcement scared, used said rifles to shoot at AND hit law enforcement, trying to kill them?For political reasons?Sounds like terrorism to me.>le school shootings99.99% of gun violence statistics are from the jungle beasts shooting each other in gang warfare, enabled by soft-on-crime legislation.When NYC enabled cops to chase after criminals in cars for a short few months before banning it again crime dropped significantly. The crime filled shithole cities in the US are by design from the left/dems above them.>more bug taint suckingThis is pathetic.>no one caresDoubtful considering there's endless video evidence of people getting disappeared in bugland for less.>muh cheapIs bad.>climate changeIs bullshit. Dates keep getting pushed back. Statements like "this place will NEVER have snow again" keep being disproven.You'd have to be retarded to ever think pollution could get bad enough to cause global temperature to rise at all, especially to an apocalyptic level.Now if you want to talk about pollution, THAT is a problem, and bugland is one of the worst alongside other third world shitholes like mexico. Acid rain and carcinogens in the air everywhere. Cities shouldn't look orange 24/7/365Very interesting how this is always conveniently forgotten to be mentioned when CLIMATE CHANGE ZOINKS fearmongering happens, reaaaaaaaaally interesting. Always retarded shit like "muh solar" and other shit too that causes even more pollution than nuclear power, which is the safest, cleanest and smallest footprint power production humanity has right now.>>750604696Uhhh that sounds heckin' based though and obviously you're just an anti-chinese zogbot?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!? GRRRR
>>750604696ok but i am not in china. so again, how does any of that affect the quality of their video games?
>moving goalposts and bitching out>writes in the most typical falseflaggot waybugshills are so fucking sad
>>750604827Their bitter because they cant get i to the hot new bug job: Wearing a suit and walking around looking like you have a job. Wait until his programming pulls out egg metaphors.
>>750601037i have soulslike fatigue.
>>750601037HOLY BOTTED SHIT LMAO
i love all the new chinese developed games.like generic sekiro cloneand generic sekrio cloneand generic sekiro cloneand generic sekiro cloneand genshin cloneand genshin cloneand genshin cloneand genshin clone
>>750605739what is Wukong a clone of?
>>750605739What is where winds meet a clone of?
China is unable to innovate. They only copy trends. Soulless bugmen.
>>750601037Dreamcast guy said its a perfect game so it must be good
Why are fatties always butthurt over chinaman games? Just play your troon games and shut up lol.
>>750601037fuck off with your chinkslop
>>750601264Chinese have good taste. Sorry Americans.
>>750605991I dont even know why people seethe so much about them doing well. They are the equivalent of cinematic action games we used to get in the 2000s and early 2010s, basically the transformers equivalent of vidya. No shit people love spectacle vidya like that because most devs nowadays just make rpg shit. Wolverine would have sold more if they didnt make him gay and lame since people do love cinematic games despite /v/s bitching.
>bugmen sales:|>bugmen sales (japan):O>bugment sales (nintendo):OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>750606132Chang, you're not fooling anybody. You will never be as great as Japan.
>>750606132But only in the US btw because the UK doesnt matter. Meanwhile japs are busy cooming to a korean mmo
So is this any good? I'm a boomer who doesnt play much games anymore. I only played Resident Evil 9 and Pragmata earlier this year.
>>750606190Hey Takeshi-kun, I'm having a blast playing Splatoon Raiders on my personal computer machine
>>750606458>The Chinese pirating and stealing original ideasColor me surprised.
>>750606132kek, big truth nuke here
>>750601037This game was in my steam calendar and it looked like total slop from the thumbnails I didn't even bother expanding it. This just seems like another case of Chinese people boosting themselves and too afraid to refund or review negatively cause it'll reflect on their social credit score.
>>750605869rollslop
>>750606250Coomer gods won>>750606418It's a god of war clone (2018) clone with more focus on boss fights and flashy interactive cutscenes. It is what it is. People keep here expecting every action game to be ninja gaiden and proceed to not buy the games and they wonder why nobody makes those games.
>>750606614it's not a soulslike and doesn't have roll, you didn't play it also you lost and got raped
>>750601037Honestly it looks really fun
>>750606628
>>750601264>ehm the huge core audience doesn't count ack-tuallyThat's how we get the last decade gaming, thanks for tard take, faggot. The chinese people were the most hype about the chinese myth sun wukong game?! Yeah, no fucking way! Man, I wish we could get cool games again that are ultra local culture and myth heavy too, for me that would be high quality medieval knight games, without it having to be infused with the gay, ugly, lame and brown shit.
>>750601037Tell me it's a botted Chinese game without telling me it's a botted Chinese game.
>>750607050It's ironic because the 2000s were ultra mono culture too. You had plenty of dudebro afghan and iraq war games that only americans played. Same shit with halo. To this day I don't know a single person who cares about halo outside of westerners. The entire reason the xbox blew up in the first place was because it was a console by americans for americans.
>>750601037700k to 100k in less than 24 hours is fucking funny
>>750606662chinkslop
>>750606458>Splatoon anythingYup it’s a pedophile
>>750607791you did not play it. it's a pretty good game, there's no reason to hate it. you must be a western fagslop enjoyer
>>750601037>We Chyna!>We must be validated and taken seriously!!!Nope, I'll keep ignoring you're third world shit hole.
>>750605739I love all the new western developed games LESBIANSTRANNIESLGBTQENDLESS BLACKSGAY NIGGAS CORNHOLINGWHITE MAN BADLE DOWN WITH CAPITALISMYELLOW PAINTSCENT TRAILSLE CINEMATIC EXPERIENCEYou know maybe chink slop ain’t so bad
>>750607972that's the idea. China is making games for china and proving that you can have an industry that can supports itself without having to pander to global audiences that has drastically different tastes. It's trading higher potential sales for consistency and predictability. It's basic economics but a lot of studios just want to gamble their fortunes in a world where dev costs are becoming extremely unsustainable hence all the layoffs in the past few years.
>>750608165All the layoffs are coming from leftoid studios and IP's. They won't be missed. Rockstar, Capcom, Nintendo, Fromsoft, Kojima, Larian etc all run laps around any Chinese games being made. Phantom Blade Zero is fundamentally lacking in any original idea or implementation of game design. It borrows a lot from Santa Monica games, Fromsoft and Capcom. China is slopping this up because they don't know better.
>>750601037Sony won
>>750608401And key point being consistency. This is a new studio making their own game without 2-3 decades of industry experience or knowledge. Larian especially has been making crpgs since the 90s. They didn't get their first big break until divinity original sin 2 nearly 2 decades later. The same is true with other established institutions in gaming. Even Bioware didn't stand the test of time despite being around for 30 years. Right now it would be wise to lock in and identify and cater to an audience YOU KNOW is going to give you money. This has nothing to do with game design but being smart enough to survive what is basically the 2nd gaming crash.
>>750604729>You mean like retards who went to a holding facility for illegal immigrantsNo, I meant the people who spray painted some planes in a brittish-israeli weapons factory shipping bombs for a literal genocideBut also it's funny you getting this triggered by people also protesting the literal kid rape dungeons and unarmed people killers you have iin the USGood to have all those weapons when you get shot or imprisoned for life even when you are unarmed
>>750608165Westoid studios aren't gambling anything, DEIbux and the charade of fiat currency can literally go on forever and ever. It's by design.inb4 some dipshit says>b-but muh studios closingThat only affects the peasants at them, the CEOs and shareholders get to play with their literal Monopoly Money that is never touched, while YOUR Monopoly Money follows a different set of rules :^)One would have to be retarded to think otherwise, or else the instant one of these woke dogshit studios bit the dust the industry would have had a completely violent correction back to normal, but instead they are doubling, tripling, even quadrupling down on the propaganda, MTX, raising prices, more cancer EULA + making people sign away consumer rights, etc.Does anyone actually think if anything was actually backed by gold or some other tangible resource that ANY of this shit would have happened? Disregarding the fact most people are sedated as fuck these days, but it wasn't even 100 years ago that an entire town would come together and beat the fuck out of someone for stealing less.
>>750608007that's what they like or they wouldn't be seething
Still somehow the game sucks. Kind of like how "you can see everything" is rated high for a movie. So explain that to me in game terms.
>>750608401>Rockstar, Capcom, Nintendo, Fromsoft, Kojima, Larian etcgay, good, rofl, good but 2 multiplayer memeslops in a row, washed tranny lover, gay
Where is crack?
>>750601580mite b cool
>>750608978Wait, isnt the big drama about this shit was because these studios were being funded by taxpayer money which is why they didn't care whenever their games bombed? Like with regards to bioware, some canadian politician recently came out and said that canada should be able to buy out mass effect from EA and pushed the notion of state funded video games.
>>750601037Will it have the fastest fall off too?
Over rated, generic souls slop that'll be forgotten in a week. Wouldn't play it if it was free
>>750608957As opposed to chinks being taken away to be killed by their government on countless liveleak videos for the most lukewarm of criticisms of their thinly veiled dictatorship? Or workplace accidents caused by no safety standards in building anything?>kid rape dungeonsThat one side said was baseless conspiracies, until the very instant it became expedient for them to go>Erm actually they do, b-but totally not usin the last 2 years?>good to have all those weaponsYeah, turns out having a gun doesn't give you ultra instinct or something, shocker. Some lunatic jungle beast can still run up behind you in the middle of the night and shoot you, that means guns are bad or something because uhhhh criminals n sheiiitWhat a retarded statement, but expecting good faith out of a literal insect in human flesh was foolish on my part>imprisoned for lifePeople don't get imprisoned for life the US for being unarmed and "doin' nothin'". Do they tell you otherwise in chinkland? Probably.
>>750601462Rainblood Chronicles is better than Phantom Blade Zero. It had cool combos, character switch AND two player mode. A shame it sold so little but it was one of my first steam games, together with Skullgirls
>>750603083Keklettta
>>750601580Will never happen. The cccp make sure of that.
>>750609226All the faggotrannyism propaganda is funded with taxpayer money. Again, it's easier to think that the money that peasants have and the money that elites have use two different rulesets, with the stipulation the latter can affect the former, but the former is unable to do anything to the latter.Not just game studios, pretty much all media, even shit like sports teams, etc. "Athletes" kneeling down are doing so on the peasant's dime.Again though, with the global populace as sedated as it is and their fakemoney not actually being backed by anything tangible people don't care all too much. 500 years ago if you took someone's stock of gold and threw it into an active volcano they would quarter you and curse your entire bloodline, but since we're all playing this game of pretend and have constant empty promises and super cheap and easy access to becoming drug zombies people don't care all that much anymore.There needs to be a case study on the sheer amount of abuse the common man puts up with these days, you really understand why certain groups consider us cattle.
>>750601037That’s a lot of bot farms
When the CCP falls and the Chinese reform their government, I'll consider getting Chinese games and products.
Currently playing, holy shit these animations are fucking badass. It really makes you FEEL like a kungfupunk.
>>750606418The combat is really mediocre and it looks like a generic ue5 game with very few original assets in the environment
>>750606682Yeah all the elaborate animations and shit looks pretty cool, it's just not fun to play because it's so overly cinematic
>>750609656Historically for insectland that would be followed by widespread famine, cannibalism, and just another, even shittier regime.
>>750606418It's a fucking badass action power fantasy game with awesome gothic chinese dark fantasy "kungfu punk" aesthetics. It's sick.It has pretty forgiving mechanics. You can even play on easy if you need to. It's all about fun.
>>750609706well a lot people love that shit. It's made for the same people who love killcam mods in skyrim.https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/668
>>750601037>>750601162>>750601235>>750602256>>750602331
It's mad
>>750601264Chad China giving economic support to a quality game
>>750603126>doesn’t attack anyonelollmao even
>>750604737>Im not in China and that’s why I’m defending China until my dying breathChina to die, faggot.
>>750609882This image was made with 100% concentrated brownoid seethe.
>>750610145Yet it's not wrong though
>>750609706Really muh cinema is your greatest complaint? What a retard. You're retarded. Don't bother replying.
>>750601037I was a bit turned off by some of the stuff people mentioned in the reviews but it's pretty fun. The main thing I don't like is that enemies don't respawn ever, so when you're backtracking to open new paths there's nothing to fight
>>750601162I thought this was an Indian game
>>750601037watched some gameplay and it's just another shitty chinese sekiro clone but this time with QTEs and finishers and there's unironically trap music during one cutscenechinese games are honestly fucking terrible, only positive thing about them is that they aren't woke as fuck like americuck games
>>750610346Sounds like a good game when you put it like that.
Where's the fucking vibration on the controller?CHINNAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>750610390buy a dual sense controller
>>750610380that's because you are an idiot
>>750610416That's what I'm using nigga.
>>750610390ive been noooticing this too. lots of new games on PC have broken or outright missing vibration.
>>750610390There's a vibration setting it's not the chinks fault when you're retarded
>>750601264thread should have ended here desubugmen aren't people, and they are comparable to bots at this point
kek
>145GB gameEwYikes
>>750610416>>750610452Restarted the game and messed with Steam settings and the vibration is now on but the fucking buttons are now Xbox lol WHAT THE FUCK
>>750601037Good for them. I was honestly worrying it might flop after games like Onimusha had a strong launch a few weeks earlier, looks decent. Not going to buy it rn, maybe after it goes into a sale.
Another unreal rollsloppa with bot farmed numbers lol
>>750610427Lol triggered idiot
>>750609882seems it's not just leftoid memes that dont understand how to be succinct, it's chinkoid memes too>>750610618why would i be upset that you're an idiot?
>>750610586Unreal Engine 5 is ruining the game for me. You can feel all the issues with it. It's not my machine either I got a 9850X3D + 5080. Cyberpunk is flawless but this is input laggy ugly mess.
>>750610639Lol what an idiot
