imagine - Codex top100 rpgs and china

[lukaszek]

With how apologizing to china is popular these days, how would our beloved rpgs look like if devs were trying hard to tap into chinese market?

would communist party change nature of a man?
would chinese bring water to vault 13 and fallout franchise would never had to be sold to bethesda?
would skyrim feature snake-like dragons?

 

[Fedora Master]

Exactly the same but no niggers.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

Most of them wouldn't exist because they depict — amongst other things — blood, death, dead bodies, politically sensitive content, sexual content, content that promotes questioning authority, content that "distorts history"(Hearts of Iron is banned in China for this reason to understand what "distorts history" really means), depict drug usage, depict crime, defame the Chinese government, or depict the imperial history of China
Westerners underestimate how insane china's censorship is. The few games that do get a pass are always owned by chinese-state controlled companies. Tencent is the biggest notable example.

There is no list of banned games for China because it's a whitelist system, not a blacklist system. You just assume it's banned and work from there.

deterministic system > RNG

They would look like JRPGs, but shittier.

 

[AlsGaming]

More Prince of Qin games.
