Like, not even remotely censoring, but straight up altering important parts of the story to allegedly appease angry Chinese players. Glad I haven't bought the game.

"History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz. The Three Beats Of War, Peace And Revolution Continue On Forever." - Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz
I beat the game before this update, but if I replay it it certainly will be unpatched.

Thank god for physical media.
The fuck? This is truly bizarre.

I really don't understand being mad about historical figures being killed in games too. I couldn't care less if someone made a game where you kill George Washington, for example. I'd probably even think an alternative history was cool.
Many Bothans died to bring you this post.
That's pretty silly.

They have this rule about "disrespecting" historical/mythological figures. I remember hearing it caused problems with their version of Fate GO. Chinese characters had their names, voice lines, and art removed and replaced with generic placeholders. I don't know if that was ever resolved.

Given the changes, the issue seems less that they are killed and more that they went against the MC's ambition. A lot of the dialogue seems to be changed such that the historical figures are praising the MC for seeking immortality and asking to "carry on their legacy". Which is basically just your standard China "for the party" propaganda. Someone in government probably disliked the idea of a hero not perfectly aligning with the country's historical ideals and pushed this narrative.

Some were replaced, but I think most just go by aliases now.

Someone must have had a stroke when they saw the chapter revolving around Qin Shi Huang.

When that chapter came out, everyone was called [Class] [Index Number], which made for some absurd lines when Red Hare was insisting that he was Lu Bu.

Though again, they use aliases now.

This is insane. Can I get a refund from the devs?

Funny how the Usual "WRRYYYy.. GAMES GETTING CENSORED, NO... I WANT MORE ANIME BOOBA" crowd are almost completely radio silent on this one even though these changes are not just localized to one version of the game(Their usual excuse) and instead affecting the game world wide

Where are you getting the idea that people are silent on this? Game's currently getting destroyed in the Steam reviews.

I can't say I'm surprised. None of them really care about gaming or gamers in general.
Would've, could've, should've. Would of, should of, and could of ARE INCORRECT!!!!

I have seen plenty of censorship whiners being upset by this. Youre being a bit silly.

Glad I haven't bought the game.
Or, just buy the PS5 disc and go with a unpatched playthrough, lol.

I admit I did it for stellar blade for a bit. For reasons. Important reasons.

*halfway joking but I wonder if my copy will eventually raise in resell value for that uncensored story monies*

Considering how ass the game ran with the day one patch, it is unclear how well it will function unpatched, but certainly it sounds like the better way to play.

Can't speak on other platforms but on the PS5 pro I was good performanc-wise playing off of balanced w/ frame limit unlocked on my HDMI 2.1 VRR capable TV from day 1.

I'm talking about a really specific group, Mostly the people who rage over everything not being sexy enough and raged at tekken 8, street fighter, and MK 1 for being Censored because the outfits weren't stripperific enough
Did this "very specific group" have any interest in this game to begin with? Like, I oppose censorship in games in all forms, but I don't go out of my way to talk about games I was never considering for purchase.

Is Dynasty Warriors banned or Censored in China?

Because those historical figures do some funky shit <_<

Another thing I'm wondering about this patch and the Chinese players that were upset.....

If this was that big of a deal for them then why not make this patch exclusive alter only their region of the game? Its grimy as hell taking the money from all region's players and after the fact make these sort of changes without any of the outside China region's players.

Yeah after reading more on this (alongside absolutely wrecking the game's difficulty) I totally get the anger.

I would not be surprised if this game will get people outside China hesitant to mess with any future chinese developer's games.

Yes, They were all talking about it after the dev's claimed they "made the outfits sexier" after stellar blades success and how the game was Peak anti-woke because of the boob jiggle
This is why the people wanting the Chinese game industry to replace the Western/Japanese ones because China is "anti-woke" need to actually think about what that would mean.

I didn't get to chapter 4 yet on my wuchang run.

After reading up on the gameplay changes and assuming the game auto-updated for me already I got to remind myself to delete the game and reinstall with updates disabled/PS5 toggled offline. I really don't want my chapter 4 experience neutered that much.

*Either that, or they at least walk back some of the enemy changes with another patch by the time I come back to the game*.

One more post about the recent patch and the PS5 version in particular...

supposedly this patch messed up something with wuchang's movement.

https://www.reddit.com/r/wuchanggame/comments/1mq4ghi/ps5_1000009_15_is_unplayable_due_to_movement_ticks/

lol really sounds up there as one of the most shit patches among gaming.

All this shit sucks. Bowing down to draconian governments to religion-motivated corporations.
It's specifically trying to appease Han supremacists. You have the Han Ming being portrayed badly right before the Manchu Qing take over. Han supremacy is a major force in modern China and upsetting those people can be bad for your company. I don't think this is government action. These people are a social movement that, although encouraged by the government, are acting independently here with their outrage toward the depiction of the Ming.

Actually got a smile out of me coming back to this wuchang board topic that was being updated and seeing these last two posts. Copious amounts of copium does look like its being huffed by some of the gaming community.

I remember seeing him on the politics board back when I lurked that and he got suspended a lot there. I'm guessing he blocked people preemptively to try to protect himself there. Doubt it works well lol.

So one very specific group doesn't care about one specific instance that has nothing to do with sexuality or sexy outfits in a game they probably don't really care much about in the first place not seething is... call for a callout?
Weird.

As far as they're concerned, it's not censorship if the sex appeal itself isn't censored.

Is it Chinese gamers or flat out the authoritarian government? If it is the later, it makes more sense for a game studio having to bow down to a authoritarian regime than it is removing boobs because some groups don't like it.

If the outrage is supported by the government, then yeah I can't blame the studio for having to this self-preservation strategy here.
