Chinese Video/Computer Games

Diversity and representation should be a mindset, from culture to spirit, instead of just mere skin color. The two Genshin Impact OST for Natlan does exactly that. I heartily recommend people to listen to them.

From Star wars to ghost in the shell to that new assassins creed game, Americans took Asian culture, aesthetics and replaced Asian faces with American faces. So what's wrong with China taking western culture and putting over it Asian faces?

The most important aspect of this game's launch is precisely doing to the international gaming industry what formerly the Chinese box office had done to Hollywood, showing that the contemporary Chinese gamer has become just as lucrative as their Western counterpart. You can sense in the launch coverage's discourse that their greatest anxiety (just like with Hollywood) is that Western gaming development will demote the Western gamer as merely an equal to the Chinese gamer for the industry to cater and pursue.

Tbh if they can become just an equal to the Chinese gamer, they'll be eating pretty good.

Imagine going from the current status quo of grossly uglified characters, type A&B body types, always online 59$ + dlc/micro transactions and DEI writers to China's standard, which while currently does have problems with overmonetization in gacha games, is overwhelmingly more normal and catered to gamer tastes.

You may be waiting a while for a disc, though if there's no rush I suppose that's no issue especially if one prefers to have a disc in hand (reasonable).

That said the nature of patches means they probably won't be associated with a disc release, but just pushed out online as quickly as they're ready.

I mean that if the physical disc version is only released e.g. three months after launch, the game version on disc can incorporate any patches released between when the game was launched and the time of pressing, thereby potentially avoiding the now common scenario of putting the disc in and then immediately having to download a Day 1 patch. One of the benefits of "Game of the Year" editions and the like is that you often get the game with all patches and DLC included on the disc, just like back in the olden days. If the gold standard is a game that doesn't need patching, a "late" physical release with all of that post-development work incorporated/included is the next best thing. Alas, neither of those things happen very often.

so in comparison to evil Black Myth Wukong which promotes animal cruelty, racism and sexism, we have the wokest, best game in the world: Norwegian taxpayer funded Dustborn, set in the US.

Somehow, these people never learn. If you want to go woke, prepare to go broke. I mean they ruined MK1 with this DEI bullcrap to the point where I hope Warner Bros goes bankrupt for this stupid decision. Seriously, they are that stupid to think then can repeat failure and then expect success, may they choke on their own stupidity

Got BM:WK on Steam yesterday. I'm thinking about giving Journey to the West a read before playing just to be respectful, and to refresh because I only read it once before as a kid and forgot most of the details.

I’ve read it back to back at least 20 times as a kid. A lot of the stuff aren’t really kids appropriate in retrospect.

The Norwegian Sovereign Wealth Fund which has their oil money invests in all sorts of useless crap to create jobs in Norway.

That is just a jobs program, the fact they actually shoved a product out of the door is a bonus.

Journey to the west, especially the first few chapters of wrecking havoc on heavens, is the kind of story that you have to really get out of the way to avoid reading or watching it. It's everywhere during childhood. It was on TV when you eat dinner with family, the illustrated book would also just somehow be lying around your friend's house, sometimes parents tell the story during bedtimes, cartoons... It's everywhere
