Gujian 123 has the best story, but the script writers went to other companies after 3.
I think this cause this trailer show more about boss fight but not the plot.

It's also very early in development. The devs said it won't be out for another couple more years, and this was to hire talent who are interested in working on this game.

Why is China allowing crap like this to pass the censors? I thought part of the censorship process was to remove negative / controversial views of history? Here we have a game where the Ming is literally portrayed as the bad guys and the CCP censors do nothing? Not to mention who in the development team thought it was a great idea in the first place to have the main character slaughter a bunch of famous Chinese historical figures including the last Ming emperor, which is almost certain to encourage ethnic conflict online and help the West, Korea, etc. promote their divide & conquer propaganda around certain dynasties not being Chinese? Do you think the Japanese or the Koreans would ever portray their history in this way, like have you play as an Okinawan rebel against the evil Imperial Japanese or some Han commandery captain against savage Korean natives?

I think censoring, as is now, is pretty much reserved to things that may lead to public or children "harm" like gore, torture, sex, drug promotion, nudity and promotion of "modern Western ideologies" if you know what I mean.
Or topics that are sensitive to the state or that could lead to war, like subversion, rumors, military stuff , secret developments (like lithography machines) or territorial integrity.
I don't think they are concerned in censoring every crap random people don't like, unless there is enough public uproar. Banning everything that random people may not like is ridiculous, especially topics of events that occurred 500 years ago in fictional setting, they are so many things that random people don't like that nothing could be make.

It might be just me, but I see self-censoring much more than government censoring these days. Mostly because of backlash, and publishers/devs don't want to piss off their customers or investors. Wuchang is another example of this.

I think they panicked at first because the bad reviews due performance issues, probably because the engine, I guess, and then they panicked again because the backlash in China didn't subdue so they did whatever they could to appease domestic players with louder voices but that cause backslash with Western players due "immortal bosses". At the end they appease nobody.

Maybe adding more Qing enemies to the game would have appease everybody.

Amazing how some peoples still called fake game even after plenty of preview from major sites and youtuber. Animation is too good to be true? may be it's because western / JP developer got too lazy too even put an effort on that or may be too much sucking on Miyazaki c_ock, some gamer forget that you can have fluid animation in action game too.

I think it less about immortal boss and more like the change go against core theme of story about move on from loss.

Somehow in ver. 1.5, the Ming emperor is cleansing of corrupted, got a ride off to sunset with his consort after his resurrected monster form got ass whooped by Wuchang. Yet the game still insist on Wuchang to move on from bring back her sister because of reason.

I also doubt that add Qing boss to fight would help, the controversy would just moving to something else instead like "why we need to fight Ming?"

It would be better to just remove reference of Ming and real historical persons since they didn't do much with that anyway or stood their ground. They would still get shit on from both side but at least their intention for story still preserved.
