How come Chinese devs love ancient china so much?

>>718766904 (OP)
That's a man

>>718766968
asian men are just asian girls but with a penis bonus

i feel like they do a poor job at depicting it, they make it seem kind of dull and superficial imo

>>718766968
Eh, if he looks like that and has a place where I can put my penis I'm game.

>>718766904 (OP)
its based to love you're own culture and want to keep it that way

>>718766904 (OP)
Because they have an interesting history and heritage unlike japan and the west

>>718767178
why are they so incapable of producing art then?

What are some cool setting without mentioning of Buddha

>>718767387
it's been true for a long time arguably but surely it must be more than just "CCP", the soviets were still putting art out despite heavy censors, and the west today has this absolute shizo group censorship going on but there are still the occasional standouts.

>>718766904 (OP)
it's not love, lack of creativity

>>718767495
Despite sharing communist in their title, Russia and China values are very different to make valid parallels. If you think China is exception, look at Taiwan and hongkong at their prime

Chinese media is just way too frilly and fancy with swirling robes and gowns and flapping ribbons and shit
It's too Maximalist, give me a more subdued aesthetic please.

>Despite sharing communist in their title, Russia and China values are very different to make valid parallels.
this is true, i didn't really mean it in that way, moreso just how censors can stifle art in different ways.

>>718767797
Being modest/subtle is the last thing China want to promote.

>>718766904 (OP)
I love Asian women but these plastic Koreans look off.

>>718766904 (OP)
i don't think they're allowed to make games about how mao massacred their population

Nobody gives a shit about ancient China besides the Chinese themselves. Meanwhile everyone all over the world throws castles and knights into their fantasy settings.

thats a dude?

>>718768392
Buddhism is like must have in any ancient asian setting

>>718766904 (OP)
Because the modern one sucks

>>718767178
I dislike Chinese aesthetics but I support them because the only women who don't look like men are left in Chinese games.

>>718766904 (OP)
I have wuxia fatigue
I'm actually with wuxia fatigue since i was born CAN THE FUCKING CHINESE COOK SIMRTHING ELSE OTHER THAN THREE KINGDOM SLOP

>>718769338
Take the xianxia pill

>>718769476
It's just furry wuxia

ching chong chang nigga

I wish there was a wuxia musou game that was as grindy as disgaea

China was at its strongest when it wasnt even ruled by chinese, "han chinese" have spent the last 200/300 years being ruled over by foreigners. Same with indians, their culture prior to Europeans were being ruled by Muslims.

Hanfu revival is kinda cool. Wish Europe did something like it.

>>718766904 (OP)
Promoting that classic image of China is required if you want to have human rights

>birth of century of humiliation
lol, lmao even

>>718767178
I think Japan has an interesting heritage. Europe too. America doesn't though, and Europe acts like they don't have one out of fear of making America insecure.

>>718769727
They generally equate the golden age of China to the Tang Empire.
Yeah Qing had a bigger territorial expansion but culturally was quite shit.

>>718766904 (OP)
Reject wuxia
Embrace pork buns

>>718766904 (OP)
Because ancient China had 10k years of badassery. I mean imagine what it took to build the great wall and they did that shit with the bare hands of millions of slaves. But the communists burned all of that down to replace it with pseudo capitalist bs.

Tldr: citizens are nostalgic for when times were better.

>>718770694
>imagine what it took to build a wall
That isn't badass

>>718770609
I'll never understand why there aren't more Hong Kong crime crimes. It's pretty much just this, Stranglehold, and Shenmue 2.

>>718770889
This but walled city of Kowloon. Most I can think of is actually not Kowloon but guild wars 1 factions has that massive shack city. Cool ass aesthetic.

>>718770990
Shenmue 2 has a segment set in Kowloon but yeah it could easily be the setting for a whole game.

>>718770808
A wall so big and long it would take your fat ass weeks to walk from one end to the other.
A wall so enduring it has lasted through the rise and fall of empires.
A wall so glorious it is counted among the greatest works of mankind.
Not badass

>>718770609
>>718770889
Ultimately it's cause current China is insecure about it's history. It only wants to show what it thinks are the proofs where it was strong and never wants to show China in a state of weakness. Every country has ups and downs though. Doesn't mean there aren't interesting stories throughout.

>>718770889
some british devs tried to make triad wars with the sleeping dogs world but it was shit and didn't take off

Read Corpse Retriever
It's #1 novel right now on qidian
Pretty good

>>718771278
That's right. It's a fucking wall. The reason that it's still around is that invading forces figured out that you could just walk around it if you really wanted to and then you could start all the Yuan dynasties you wanted

>>718766904 (OP)
They are required to by the ccp.

>>718767178
China has like 3 stories

>>718769637
this shit aint right

>>718767227
>>718767387
Donghua and games are heavily censored by CCP
Only novels have the least censorship, and that is why it is the most soulful art form Chinese have right now
/v/tards generally dont read, so in most of these tards' worldview all Chinese' creations are slop
Not to mention these tards have serve selection vision without realizing it
These tards keep complaining Chinese can only copypaste soulslop, but when where winds meet announce release date there is not a single thread on /v/

>>718771531
Your mind is incapable of comprehending glory and splendor. You can't picture the bones of millions of slaves buried in the foundations the unending blood sweat and tears pour into such great works I pity you anon. You gave upon an enduring legacy of mankind's greatness and see only a wall.

>>718766904 (OP)
Write what you know, idiot. That's the basis for any storytelling to even get off the ground level.

>>718770889
While not specifically set in Hong Kong, the Heroic Bloodshed genre that typifies Hong Kong cinema has inspired a couple more games than just those, notably Max Payne 1 and 2, Dead to Rights, and Hotline Miami. Yakuza also draws a lot of inspiration from Hong Kong cinema, but obviously not as much from Yakuza films like Battles Without Honor and Humanity or Beat Takeshi movies.

it’s not gay if he’s asian

>>718766904 (OP)
If I do that the same, women think that I'm a weirdo.

Wuxia is shit because government is always a major force in Jianghu, but you cant write anything bad about them under CCP
It is why xianxia replaces and dominates wuxia in modern Chinese's literature
The one who produce the best wuxia in current year is unironically gook

Phantom Blade looks cool but the others are the same shit repackaged. Black Myth Z could be cool but they should definitely do something more unique with it.

Isn't Where Winds Meet a Genshin style open world?

>>718769246
That's a trick though. The women do look like men, they look like asian men. It's just that asian men look like asian women.
