china review bombing

[hedgehawk]

have you noticed that most of the negative reviews are from china? if you set the language to chinese in the filter settings you will notice that only 37% of the reviews are positive. for most other nations the average is around 80%.

I wonder why btw. I mean really. Is there something in the DLC the Chinese could have seen as an affront?

China and Japan hating each other is a pretty common thing for them, nothing to do with the game, just racism.

Yeah we did, got only pointed out like 5 times already each time in a new thread.
There's even one breaking down exactly the % of language reviews.

It's likely conspiracy garbage, but I heard something about a Chinese game dropping soon that might be somewhat similar to souls and they preemptively bombed this release so more people might be interested in getting the new game or something.

Like I said, probably 100% garbage.

If anyone thinks an entire country is banding together to drop negative reviews, I hate to break it to you, but a lot of people just think the DLC is bad.

Yeah but why didn't they do the same for the base game then.

Nonsense, the game performance is atrocious, thats why its recieving negative reviews.

Honestly... looks like them trying to market WuKong from some of the media outlets.

"This game is too hard, but devs working on WuKong promise it won't be too hard. Chinese games #1."

Guessing a lot of the individual reviews are just randos joining the mob. But that's nothing new here, looking at twitter.

This is not review bombing, like, they are not plotting against the game.

It's just the general consensus over there. There are problems with performance and peeps pissed with difficulty spike, and it's their take, it's completely fair.

Review bombing is what happens as a response to something negative that a dev did, and the community starts to review all of their games negatively as a way to respond against them.

Every time anyone calls it "bombing", they are missing the point.

I hate to break it you, but you might want to go back to school to learn math.

Even if the game was actually perfect, China would still review bomb it like they do.

perhaps the chinese have worse rigs on average and therefore have to struggle with performance problems more often. otherwise it wouldn't explain the ratio between positive and negative ratings compared to other nations

No, they are not missing the point. Because like a wave a ton of people leave bad reviews on purpose. Look at the review bombing of Elden Ring from the "no ultrawide" crowd when it came out. That was a lot, but it wasn't "fair".

It's like they're all weirdly pissed off about the depiction of the Dancing Lion or something.

Because they are entitled.

So negative reviews are "review bombing" But all the reviews made by people 5 minute after the DLC came out who haven't even entered it is totally legit?
