At least write your reviews in English, it will be less obvious.

 

[LectureMaster]

Fucking stupid brainwashed nationalism

 

[Shifty1897]

So if I'm reading this right, China is mad because Sven's speech was mistranslated and they took it as a slight against Black Myth Wukong? Interesting.

 

[Robb]

They’re one year too late to the party with this stunt.

 

[Del_X]

Taiwan #1 anyway.

 

[Stuart360]

Its like i always say, Steam reviews should be used for 2 things and 2 things only. To see if a game has a lot of bugs or technical problems, and to see if the devs have done something scummy.
Everything else just has too much bullshit involved, especially now the Xbox and Playstation are releasing their games on PC.

 

[Evil Calvin]

Yes....but their bots won them the 'Players Choice'

The Chinese fans and companies are ruining this industry

 

[balls of snow]

Totally deserve that snub then. Suck it.

 

[noob smokes]

Wtf what did bg3 do

 

[onQ123]

Why would China care about an award show in a whole different Continent ?

 

[skit_data]

Lol, what a bunch of idiots

 

[StereoVsn]

Why would China care about an award show in a whole different Continent ?

Nationalism ahoy.

 

[Icymanipulator]

Not surprising, they have little control over their own lives so they lash out in any way they can to exert some kind of agency.
This is pretty tame too, I’ve read some real horror stories about what Chinese gamers have done over the years to show their displeasure with games, gacha games in particular.

Swen Vincke of Larian announced GOTY at the TGAs, so Chinese players are taking it out on BG3

Reviewbombing continues to be one of the most pathetic things ever.

 

[Sophist]

a little too late; i doubt any review-bombing will have any effect on bg3 at this point.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Stay classy China.

That being said I also think BMW is better than BG3.

 

[EN250]

Reaching Nintendo fanboy levels of crazy

 

[DeepEnigma]

I hear that in my head

 

[Mozzarella]

Lmao, this is so funny. Steam will neglect them anyway, so its a waste of time and effort.

 

[DerivedDataCache]

It would seem there are plenty of salty fanboys over in China unhappy that they can't mass brigade their way to a win.

I watched Asmonbald and Shroud's reaction last night. Faces like slapped arses when Astro Bot won the GOTY. Unsurprisingly, none of them have played the game.

To be fair, those guys are not into platformers.

 

[Durin]

That's a level of pettiness I almost respect.

At least BG3 made all the money already, so it does nothing.

 

[SweetTooth]

I think they were angry due to some comments that was said by BG3 devs? Not because Wukong didn't win.

Not sure what has been said

 

[Windom Earle]

Imagine caring about the dumb award of a shill event, China down bad.

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Someone should change the thread title to highlight the reaction resulted from a bad translation of Sven's speech.

It shows how many people just read the title, shitpost, and don't engage any further.

 

[salva]

When I saw the thread, I opened it thinking I bet this will be on the first page . GAF does not disappoint.

[BlackTron]

We told you WW3 could really happen

 

[bender]

Seems like the default action on Steam these days for anything anyone disagrees with.

 

[atyourservice]

Misinformation is a hell of a drug.

The review bombers should have personally checked the transcripts before lashing out, should be standard procedure for events not in one's native language
Op should have titled the thread more factually, or checked primary sources before making it so inciting
People going "Not surprising" and "brainwashed" should have checked sources (and maybe check you don't have irrational hatred for an entire nation rooted in your mind)
I should have not bothered making this post. The internet is so tiring

thanks Belgium...

What is the "super disgusting comment" (according to the Chinese review)? Anyone know, since we are combatting misinformation?

 

[SHA]

Just like ip man 4 losing it's iconic place on imdb, who cares? they see it way worse than The God Father but the actor says it's on The God Father's League, and I don't give a fuck cause it's mostly personal, not the truth.

 

[Pop]

Thats low IQ behavior

Seems like well adjusted people. Most likely coal miners.

 

[Nonehxc]

Who the hell is your sperm donor? We may be brothers or step brothers. Did we just become best friends, sir?

 

[Project EVE]

Don't you have to buy the game to review on Steam? Someone please explain why would they waste money just to review bomb it?

 

[HogIsland]

They have to blame a PC game because Playstation will never make inroads in China.

 

[cireza]

This x 1.4 billion times.

Every single water supply issue of the planet solved.

 

[FunkMiller]

China becoming a player in the games industry is not going to end well.

 

[yogaflame]

But why BG3 then?

 

[Topher]

But why BG3 then?

Because Larian CEO Swen Vincke announced the award, I'm guessing. It is pretty stupid.

And weird. Well I do love the games coming from Asia more then the west this days, but this is ridiculous and weird reaction.
