I honestly don't know why people care so much. Like bro you don't complain about the DoD owning CoD, or the German Government's censorship of WWII games, the fuck do you care about the seeseepee so much?

It's Yellow Peril 3.0 really

Western Chauvinism in crisis, as it’s presented with more and more evidence that it is not in fact inherently superior.

Nationalism

[-] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 1 year ago

these people think the ebil sp00ky sissy pee obviously has nothing better to do with their lives than to spy on what a bunch of gamers do on their desktops 👻👻

I honestly don't know why people care so much.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

it's also because they're malding that China is successful without being a capitalist run hell.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Tencent also has a non-significant ownership of Blizzard which produces CoD. China should be criticized for funding these shitty games to be pumped out, but of course gamers are more upset because they’re afraid of asiatic brainwashing

when the private company is based in Bad Country™

[-] save_vs_death@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago

Paradox is owned by China

damn, that must be why gommulism is so powerful in Victoria 3

6 pages of command economy constructions go BRRRRRRRRR

[-] Catradora_Stalinism@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

I was able to triple my construction in a month when I got command economy and I was still in the green by a few hundred thousand

[-] commiespammer@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Yeah, too bad I don't have the perserverence to play for that long anymore, and also trying not to use switch country. I had to bankroll GDR for like half the time on my communist Mexico game because of overflowing gold reserves, lol

[-] Catradora_Stalinism@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

It really does take forever. But it also has arbitrary economic death and suddenly you are going to need to build constantly it makes me cry. Also how did you do mexico? I always get angry when the US comes knocking. I've tried almost everything short of cheating to get them to go away.

National militia and national guard means you can basically match them for troops. Beg that someone is willing to intervene if you're relying on a professional military.
The ai doesn't understand that you can just naval invade Washington DC

China needs to step it up and buy/make more games.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Amazing Cultivation Simulator and Dyson Sphere Program are great. Of course, Path of Exile is also owned by Tencent but they don't really exert control over the Western version of the game, so it's more of a technicality.

[-] Aryuproudomenowdaddy@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

I tried getting into Amazing Cultivation Simulator but there's just so much to know it was a little daunting.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

It's one of those games you have to play with the mindset of enjoying the emergent gameplay instead of trying to win, at least at first. I had a lot of fun that way as I learned the systems. Once I understood how most of the basic mechanics worked I started over and actually got pretty far, used some guides for certain things like Agencies and the really weird adventure system.

I just want a cool single player game with popular Chinese fantasy aesthetics. Naraka Bladepoint (from what the promo material on the steam page back when it released) looks awesome but multiplayer 🤢.

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Jade Empire but not made by a bunch of Canadians

[-] NoYouLogOff@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

lol yeah. Jade Empire doesn't have a nostalgia value to me like KOTOR, so when I dipped my toes in when it was free or something I couldn't get stuck in.

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

I played it years and years ago and I sort of liked it, but most of what I liked about it was the aesthetics and idea of the setting rather than the game itself

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

I'm really afraid to revisit this one. I remember liking it when it came out, but I don't know how possibly racist it was. I remember some of the people having the KotOR-style repeated alien voice lines in a made up language

[-] doublepepperoni@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

The fake not-Chinese language was a really weird choice

Naraka is really hard core. Even the bots are hard to fight. There is a pve mode but it's fairly limited. The people who play it are really dedicated and getting up to the skill floor requires good reflexes and lots of practice. It's more or less a fighting game, in 3d, with grappling hooks and super powers. It's a lot of fun but it takes a lot of buy in.

[-] NoYouLogOff@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

That sounds awesome, I like verticality and a complexity/difficulty, I just don't want to fight real people almost all of the time. And when pvp is the whole focus, pve stuff tends to feel like an afterthought.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

You'd have to go look at the different modes. The bot AI uses a lot of perfect parries and other dirty tricks, so the highest AI levels are punishingly difficult even for high level players. At low level, in the US, there isn't enough player pop to populate the servers with 60 people so you end up with a bunch of bots in most matches. There's a really full featured training mode if you just want to download it and mess around. You can try out all the weapons at all quality levels, the AI dummy can be set to be passive, defensive, aggressive, use specific kinds of attacks. It's neat.

Do they know most of the shit in their house is from china?

you might even say that China, the nation, owns their entire house

[-] UltraGreen@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

Thank you China, for letting me live out my space communism dreams in Stellaris.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

The funny thing is Tencent does not give a shit about what content is produced if it’s just released in the west. As far as I know, they’ve never forced any developer to change any decision out of censorship and the ones that are censored are an exclusive Chinese release.

[-] refolde@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

They're just letting you know where the good shit is.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

The "China Affiliated State Media" tag of gaming.

[-] BynarsAreOk@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Didn't even know that TIL.

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

That Wukong game looks neat.

[-] booty@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

ive been following it since it was announced ages ago. i dont have high expectations for it but im really hoping its awesome. i love sun wukong and i dont think he's seen a good game yet.

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Steam tags: dating sim, mythology, action, RPG

I'm curious how the dating sim will fit into this - it's a darks souls inspired game, right?

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

Any Souls game is a dating sim if you're lonely enough.

It probably has absolutely no romantic elements at all. Steam tags are pointless community-generated bullshit. Every bad game is "haha funny" tagged as "psychological horror" because gamers are so fucking funny.
