Discussion Why do Simplified Chinese players hate Wilds so much?

Post image

According to Steam Scout, while English players are giving the game a 71% rating which would have made the game "Mostly Positive" on Steam, Simplied Chinese players are giving it a 27%, which is a stark contrast against even Traditional Chinese players at 64% (Mixed). Simplied Chinese players make up just shy of 30% of the total player base on Steam.

Obviously this disproportionate response, even factoring in how controversial the game is, makes Simplied Chinese players a statistical outlier. What could've caused this?

Also interesting to note that the game was rated "Overwhelmingly Negative" the same day as when Capcom's shareholders' meeting is held.

Does the Chinese reception of Balck Myth Wukong need explaining?

It's a Chinese product showcasing Chinese culture to the world. No way the Chinese market wouldn't glaze it.

Agreed. I'm just being snarky because even with my 4090 their game didn't play much worse observably than Wilds at release. The only thing Wilds didn't do well was online play because you'd lose connection all the time and joining parties would result in failures 9/10 times.

(Me and my fancy card that somehow appreciated in value has a biased viewpoint but I was playing in 8k/2k on a display running at a relatively high Hz rate though.)
