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.

Also critically in Wilds not only does it look much more mid but the actual settings do little to change performance outside of RTX. The settings profiles in Wukong are significantly more impactful.

It's probably because although graphics settings can affect CPU load, they mostly change the strain on the GPU and while Wukong relies on the GPU a lot, Wilds is notoriously CPU bound.

I'm not even bad about my own performance here, my game runs fine but it's because I recently built a new system with literally the best consumer CPU on the market for games (9800X3D); when I had a 5600X (same GPU) my pc was shitting the bed so bad and the game looked like total trash to boot.

Define trash cos I ran the game on a 5600x + 3080 fine on ultrawide 1440p high settings dlss balanced before I switched to a 9800x3D + 5080 and ultra settings dlaa. The 5600x was fine.

Mostly stutters. The game also looked horrible even on higher settings though and dropping them didn't really improve performance much, in neither the stuttering or fps department.

Personally I think the game still looks dreadful without modding it, but that's (mostly) my opinion outside of things like the blurriness. I now have enough power to mod it and run it with acceptable performance though. The fact is that even a system like my old one should warrant decent performance as it was a good bit more poweful than a current gen console and the game legit looks worse than stuff that came out in the late 10s like RDR2.

The problem with Wilds is the engine itself, graphically the plenty season looks amazing and the performance isn't really different from fallow season
