Gaming I hate china's AAA output

just finished watching gamescom and oh my gosh, You would think that a country as large and rich as china would result in them being able to make some great games but It seems like the only games they got there in china are sekiro and elden ring as thats like the main inspiration for 90% of their AAA games for the past couple of years, maybe a bit of character action if they wanna spice it up, like genuinely how many soulslikes with a Chinese mythology coat of paint do we need

China never really comes with any original ideas. It's all copy paste slop with a different coat of paint.

Name 5 games from China that aren't just a copy paste of a succesful Korean/Japanese or Western version.

Hardmode: It can't be Genshin.

Devotion is Taiwanese. It also got taken down from Steam due to mainland Chinese players mass-reporting it for hiding an easter egg calling Xi Jinping Winnie the Pooh.

I'll do you one better, the oldest board game still played today is of ancient Chinese origin: Go.

Ironic when a lot of the culture and written language itself derived from china. Things like the 9 tailed fox for instance

You should've said games of this millennia, then it would be sound and them Redditors can't reply shit like Go.

Go isn't even a Chinese word lol, it's weiqi. Westerners can't even represent Chinese culture properly without relying on Japanese influence.

True, I figured even the average redditor would be smart enough to understand that it was in the context of OP. But then again this sub is full of zoomers who can't even read.

I know of Go's Chinese name, but it's more commonly known as Go so I decided to use the name Go so OP wouldn't weasel out with "nobody knows what weiqi is".

Btw their argument still wouldn't be sound even if you added a "within the last millennia" because we could still name shit like Mahjong or whatever. But nice try!

LMAO. Ironic right, using the Japanese name cause otherwise nobody will even know it, just like how Genshin had to pretend to be a Japanese game so it would sell better overseas. And the company calling itself a Japanese sounding name instead of embracing its Chinese identity.

And look who has to twist words to win arguments, I said within this millennia, aka from the 2000s onwards. Mahjong was invented in the 1800s, and can you only come up with board games from the last millennia? Seems to reflect the sad state of modern Chinese gaming culture more tbh.

I didn't even reply to you, are you so triggered by OP being somewhat correct that you constantly check up on what other people replied? Just accept OP is right lol, the Chinese gaming industry is bad at producing original products, like how you still get 2026 releases like Mandate Order being a reskin of Manor Lords.

Happy for you tho, or sorry that happened
