PeriodicallyPedantic, do games w Black Myth: Wukong studio requests influencers not include "feminist propaganda" or Covid-19 references in coverage

I guess they’ve never heard of the Streisand effect in China.

It’s probably easier to control that effect over there, not so much on western countries.

I was wondering what “feminist propaganda” was and apparently it’s talking about misogyny.

Another forbidden topic seemed to be targeted at criticism of misogyny at Game Science. The company has come under fire for lewd and sexist comments attributed in media reports to its founders as well as recruiting materials from 2015 replete with sexual innuendos. Those original job postings and comments were deleted, and the company has not commented.nytimes.com/…/chinese-videogame-wukong-censorship…

But this anti feminism attitude is not limited to this 1 gaming company, but government policy under Xi Jinping’s authoritarian rule: www.abc.net.au/news/2021-06-08/…/100165360

hornedfiend,

Thanks for sharing this. I wasn’t going to buy this game,but now I’m convinced I won’t. Will wait for empress to turn denuvo intro their bitch.

echodot,

Oh yeah but then there will be another unhinged controversy.

Fucking pathetic

Somewhat off topic, but the names of both the publisher and the developer are also used by unrelated tabletop game companies. Hero Games makes the Hero System tabletop RPG, and GameScience (no space, so there’s a difference) make dice. It threw me for a loop.

So we’ve moved on from no minorities to whatever we can find?

Sounds great!

Been waiting years for this. The original games are super underrated.

Pillars of Eternity? Are they considered underrated?

The first one did pretty well as far as I remember.

My only personal complaint was that the game was too lineary.

terminhell,

Overall yes they did well, but it seems like they fell off. Poe1 has the better narrative imo. 2 had better mechanics.

Faydaikin,
@Faydaikin@beehaw.org avatar

So they aren’t underrated. Just low replayability value.

And if Avowed is part of the series, I’d say the IP’s doing fine. Three installments is pretty good.

terminhell,

If it came across as talking bad about the game/franchise thats not the intent. It’s just rarely mentioned in the crpg mainstream articles I’ve seen over time. Usually Divinity and others are brought up more often.

No no, I just see “Underrated” used a lot about things that really aren’t underrated. It’s become a bit of a pet peeve for me. (Like when someone calls REM an underrated band. Like, they are world renowned. They’re just old and broken up.)

And I’m also pointing out a likely reason for them not being talked about as much as other titles in the same genre. Aside from going through the game with different roles, the first game just doesn’t have a lot of replay value. Not a lot of ‘Choice & Consequence’ or things to discover. There’s your Char and what God you choose to side with in the end. That’s kinda it.

Good games, but not exactly riveting.

I played this on the wii, was fun and I liked the creativity with building furniture! I was also a child so temper your expectations

Crazazy,

Honestly all of the mysims games I played were the shit when I was a child. Don’t know what I would thing about them today though but

EA finally realized that re-releasing DLC non stop was not gonna generate new sales.

azerial,

I don’t think they realized anything. I worked for them for 13 years. I think they are likely looking at a strategy to bring archived games with low hardware requirements to new platforms that can run them.

For example, I worked on NBA and Madden Mobile. These were ps3 games that were ported.

It’s a good strategy. Why start from scratch when you can just port existing titles that had good sales.

Don’t worry, they’ll port it and charge 20$ more than it releases for on switch

“Surprisingly alright” doesn’t sound like much praise.

Man of the my sims game I only played the racing one

I have vague memories but I really only remember the “free roam” areas of the forest and what i wanna say was a beach town

I also remember the game was at like 10 fps so little me was extra terrible at this particular game

Also there was a rocket ship because of course there was
