Negative reviews are deserved for this game

[NMshangtian]

All the reasons stem from the arrogance of game developers

[Stoibs]

Care to elaborate?
Because at the moment for us newcomers it just makes the Chinese people look... really bad and like they are moaning over some fictional waifu drama from a completely unrelated game months ago..?

Would love to hear your side of the story and how the review bombing is justified.
It all sounds pretty pathetic from the one side of the story I've heard.

[Leva]

Lemme Guess.
Gfl2 drama
Mr raymond
Daiyan

Who cares, this game have nothing to deal with gfl2 and all of you are making false accusations

[Stoibs]

^ Damn, those are more buzzwords and things I'm going to have to google to understand what these guys are on about aren't they.

If these chinese guys are so passionate about this the least they could do is make an easy to read, concise thread with links of what the hell they are angry about. Because to anyone like me coming here who is clueless they all just look like 13 year old crybabies who can't get their point across, other than yelling at the devs and calling them names.
That doesn't win any arguments.. :/

Yea a lot of the hate comes from chinese players that have put the proverbial pipe into their bicycle wheel. And are now blaming MICA team and are trying to pull them under. Daiyan refers to a popular character in the Girls' Frontline Franchise. Girls Frontline 2: Exilium the sequel to Girls frontline, has a character story involving Daiyan talking a terrorist(Mr Raymond) out of bombing. The terrorist learns the errors of their way and gives her a memento out of gratitude. Essentially, some of the weird Chinese players had taken this in the worst possible way and are just flaming and raging. They're accusing the MICA team of promoting NTR and a bunch of random slander.

Oh and these are datamined story bits that hasn't been in yet and the sh*tposting started from there by other Chinese gacha fandoms

[Yuen]

So what's the arrogancy part of the whole drama? Or are you just using non-sensical words to make it sound more important than it really is?

[Stoibs]

That sounds hilariously mundane and raises even more questions as to why they would be angry at anything.. thanks for the youtube link though. I'll be sure to give it a watch later after work to better wrap my head around this.

Maybe I'm just... not at all understanding something basic about the Chinese Culture though..? for this many people to brigade and downvote and be this salty it's just so alien.

(Then again my mind goes back to TLoU2 botting brigades and deaththreats so I *can* unfortunately imagine the same toxicity coming from the west too.. I guess people can just be scum anywhere and everywhere)

This block of text would be true if only a small part/"some" elements of the players raged. Instead, the whole market lost interest, resulting in gf2's daily income dropped from ¥50,000 in January to around ¥2,000 in March. I'd say that's a pretty clear indication of a boycott; the player base has indicated that the majority of players did not appreciate this depiction of their favorite "waifu".

At the same time, it is also true that is a cyber witch-hunt. Part of the perk belonging to a volatile part of the internet. Just some more meaningless politicking.

TLDR version:
Girl's Frontline 2 came out not long ago and some time has passed between the first and second game.
One of the dolls (Daiyan) made friends with a male NPC (who was later removed if I remember correctly) and many Chinese players saw this as a sign of her cheating on the main character (them).




As a result they review bombed GF2 and in extension this game as well since it's a spin-off.
Quite laughable to be honest.

The character in question has a trait of being the essential "Chinese wife", just a whiff of NTR or any implication will tick these "purity" obsessed people. It doesn't helped that the gacha that the dev made is quite niche so there are more people that just came to sh*tpost without playing any the games the dev ever made. Also this is not like the TLoU2 stuff, it's just Chinese gacha fans being tribalistic

Well... they changed the texts. Added in six characters, did absolutely nothing with else with the rest of the writing, and went radio silence.

Depending on who you are talking to, most players believed that, a source claiming to be an investor said one of the higher-ups in the company told them, and I quote, "I have enough time and resources to fight the player base." Which radicalized even more players.

I still don't get what the fuss is all about?

Yeah. Quote something which is basically as solid a source as I heard from this guy who heard from that guy who heard from the other guy who knows this one guy who claims to be a big shot who was told by someone in the company.

Listen to yourself man. What "quote" value do you think this has? Especially since it's decently well-known that the company is supported by family investments, plus a decent chunk by tencent. Sure that doesn't mean there aren't any other private investors, but those kinds of angel investors aren't stupid enough to add fuel to a fire burning their money.

It worries me that your kind of mentality is so easy to come across, that's how this furor can sustain itself in the first place.

Chinese have a wild imagination and can't think nor read.

Is this game recommended though? Like I love SRPGs will I enjoy this?
