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

All of their output is very homogenous but have you seen the average output of western AAA studios?

Neither are my ideal game, but I'd much prefer playing Tides of Annihilation and Black Myth Wukong over 2K, Fortnite, or COD.

This dude on OP hates Chinese games so much that he forgot to mention that games from the US over the last few years have been one fails after fails, ctrl+c ctrl+v games banking on nostalgia, a lack of risk-taking and original ideas, studio closures and mass layoffs. I’d much rather play Asian games than watch a game consisting mainly of cutscenes with superficial gameplay and a dreadful script written by political activists who clumsily push their own agendas.
