China makes the females hot
Sales increase 200% compared to original.
Such is the end result of all Chinese gaming.
Also probably adds root kits to your PC and spies on you.
That just goes without saying.
Ain't just China these days.
Oh no! You mean it won't be just the feds doing that anymore?!
Feds don't need access to our devices to spy on us, they simply harvest all of our communications directly from backbone internet hardware.
And yet every personal device in the country has a hardware backdoor built into it.
Will still be Feds doing it, just not American Feds.
Unfortunately, China will also probably use this as a weapon to mass surveil the planet.
Trading one evil for another is still bad. Fuck all tencent chicom funded and developed software.
Trading one evil for another is inevitable, when the "good guys" are colluding to force their political worldview into everything they touch. The AAA industry can either stop being evil, or go extinct as they are replaced by indies and malicious actors like China.
This isn't on the gamers who bought and defend Wukong. This is on all of the American companies who gave gamers no other options.
The only problem with this idea is that it presupposes people must and will continue to buy games as they come out in some form.
Which might be true for some, but isn't a guarantee in any way. Gaming isn't like cars or food, where you are required to keep consuming products as they are made and must pick from the best course action. You could just stop buying games and play a stupidly large back catalogue indefinitely.
Now you’re asking Musk to buy what?!…
As if that wasn't the plan in the first place. They've been trying to transfer power to China for a while now, because China is far more friendly to corruption than the west is.
Unfortunately, the Wukong game proves that people will gladly devour evil slop and call it the Messiah if it says something anti-woke to them.
Evil slop? It’s just objectively better than 95% of modern western media.
A basic boss rush Soulslike with the same Monkeyman as half of all Chinese media is objectively better than 95% of all things? Thanks hyperbole man, I certainly feel my opinion changed by someone who clearly only plays AAA slop himself.
Therein lies the issue. Its a fine game, pretty good even. But people are treating it like some mega Godsend because "he said no to the woke mafia!! BASED!!!!" Because don't pretend like a single person here would have given an iota of a shit about the game if that didn't happen.
But it did, and now everyone gives China, who is objectively evil, more of a pass because "eh better than the evil we know" when they produce their own literal slop and let us partake.
Though, since it is objectively that good I'm sure you can name all the specific ways its better than its competitors in its genre besides "no niggers or girlbosses." What does it do that blows Dark Souls or Nioh or Sekiro out of the water? After all, that's how objectively better works.
You're 100% correct.
Wukong is a game most people wouldn't give a second glance if the Western market wasn't such a tossing dumpster fire. In fact, in the last decade most Chinese made games -- regardless of quality -- have gone completely ignored (outside of their mobile gacha titles). It was only up until recently did they get any attention and it was precisely because the West has fallen so massively.
The thing I dread the most is that semi-woke and outright woke games that aren't Dustborn-tier quality will soon start getting a pass because that's all the market will be flooded with. In fact, I wouldn't even be surprised to see people roll over and accept a game like Avowed if they find the combat decent enough and some gameplay loops just barely engaging.
I dread the day when we get a game starring some trans-lesbian cyborg played by Debra Wilson loudly proclaiming her pronouns through an obscenity-laced tired, all while killing a straight white man in Nazi garb. People will proclaim the game as being "good enough" because it's a bloated UE6 title that barely runs at 20fps on a PC that costs 10 grand, and some of its mechanics work most of the time on half the computers it's played on, but it will get a pass because it happens to be "95% better" than all of the other uber-ultra-woke corposlop flooding the market.
Baldur's Gate 3 is right there and it still has defenders on this forum saying "well you can kill the woke characters" or "just mod it out bro!!"
Looks better than Horizon
Those that complain about "le trading one poison for another". Whats the solution?? Western AAA games isnt getting better anytime soon. And japanese games are slowly following western AAA ideology.
Chinese and koreans are the only ones making hot female chars. Literally only ones. And i just so happen to be a coomer. There are plenty of coomer games that arent gacha. But of course, you would keep listing something "problematic". No gacha = spyware. No spyware = chinese propaganda. No chinese propaganda = cost too much. Its exactly the same play that lefty wokes do. Keep going down the list until something sticks.
Well, it’s not like games are a necessity. You could just not buy it. You could pirate it once a cracked version is out. It’s not like you’re helplessly forced to buy anything that looks slightly promising.
But how coomer will coom?
Do something else with your life?
Do something else as these assholes are rapidly taking over everything and will fuck with something else in your life. Pretty much you have nowhere yo go or not much something else to do.
Try the real world. They aren't even capable of taking that over.
If it's China, it can surely only be a multiplayer microfest.
Sony had several years, plus the full might of gaming journalism and astroturf to sell the public on the Horizon franchise. They had their chance and they failed. Good riddance. I'm rooting for the Chinese pull this new game off and embarrass the hell out of Sony. Keep up the pressure on these ideologically captured gaming companies.
Horizon probably would have been sold on people if they owned a calendar.
Both games were released with like a week of Massive IPs releasing their own Open World action games that both of which, BotW and Elden Ring, would go onto become literally generation defining levels of popular with every corner of the industry.
If Horizon had come out 6 months earlier, it probably would have become a top icon level with everything they had behind it.
From the video it looks like it takes more from Arc and Monster Hunter than it does Horizon. But there's definitely Horizon flavoring with the giant machines and such.
But I mean, a combo Horizon, Arc and Monster Hunter does seem like a good idea.
Maybe not for an MMO, because other people tend to ruin things, and the inevitable grind and daily log ins, and in game shop, etc. But for something like a co-op game with those three flavors, heck yeah.
So the new trade off is gay shit or spyware?
worse than spyware: chinese game design.
The degenerate white male hating West or the Machiavellian white male hating East.
Will end up being better than the forbidden shitty west.
Great if it's a Wukong style actual-videogame-not-slots-machine-disguised-as-game.
But it won't be.
Under no circumstances should you check out Lotus Knight
With blackjack and hookers!
Here's the trailer for it
Looks like they're trying to make it a little bit of everything that was trendy the past five years. That said, if there's supposed to be multiplayer here, I have to wonder how they'll reconcile the time periods, considering it's going into thousand-year "cycles."
