According to Steam's own figures, there were 37,258,373 people logged into the service on August 25, beating the previous record of 36.35 million set in March.
Set aside the china argument. In a random conversation about a video game, when do these topics come up? Unless the game is directly telling a story about those elements, I don’t understand why this matters?
If people wanna discuss a topic, fine, but I don’t see what it even has to do with an average video game.
I’ve seen game streams before where someone plays a random game while discussing a completely unrelated topic. It’s so strange to me and not my thing. But them again, ANY commentary over a game video is garbage to begin with. They never add anything to it. No commentary is just superior for watching videos of gameplay.
I’ve been watching Falcom drill down on sexual harassment as a form of humor in the Trails series. Now that they’re remaking Sky, I’m curious how well they’ll handle having a female lead for once in a long time.
Put short, feminism is an important value in games for me - and shouldn’t be a high goal to achieve.
It’s alright at best. It’s just like so many other souls-like games, it’s just visually way ahead of the others. Which comes at the cost of very heavy hardware demand.
Other than that I feel like it’s overhyped as hell. I did the first chapter and frankly I’m not sure how this game would ever hit 95% score on Steam if it didn’t have China’s community backing it. Feels like a 70-75% game at best to me.
I didn’t buy it because Denuvo and Tencent (its already been repacked by fitgirl) but my brother did and he’s in my steam family. He’s played it for 18 hours already so I haven’t even had a chance to dive into it but it looks good. Ill try to report back later.

Personally, I blame China for both!

absolutely!
How is Wukong? I haven’t heard much about it

Its a soul-like game … what else to know.
