It's claimed that these changes have been made thanks to the backlash received from Chinese players, as fans concerned with the country's history are apparently upset that you can kill prominent figures from the Ming dynasty. It's also being reported that a 'Pray' emote given to the player by a Portugese Christian character has been removed too.

Wuchang bosses now:

 

[MagiusNecros]

1.It's a video game.
2.That's less exp for me to farm.
3.Fighting Honglan is still awful.

 

[Dr_Ifto]

being exhausted is good enough in my book, but a stupid thing to complain about.

 

[Gonzito]

Chinese players live reaction

[lughnasadh123]

I wouldn't really call that censoring. It's just weird all around for something that's just a game. As long as the fight itself is fun I really don't care if they die, collapse, jizz themselves, or whatever. In fact it would be great to have options how to finish bosses in soulslikes similar to MK finishers.

Ehhhhhh, Nioh already does this, so I am used to it.

Chinese are always offended or outraged about something. That's why no one likes them.

 

[mèx]

So much for the "based" Chinese userbase. They are as dumb as everyone else.

 

[BossLackey]

To be fair, I've read that it's not really "users" at all, but Chinese Karens who don't play games. Let alone Wuchang.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

So instead of an honorable death, they look like the fat kid at PE.

 

[yurinka]

I have no idea why this could cause a big outrage in Chinese players. But well, I'm not an expert in ancient Chinese culture.

Thank god westerners are nothing like that.

 

[Sonik]

Glad to know it's not just the West that is full of schizos being offended with every. fucking. thing.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Where are the dudes who were praising that these chinese games are the future of Sony? I wanna punch them in the face if they still think games made in a dictatorship country that censors shit is what they want from their future games. Copy pasted UE5 slop. Fucking lmao.

 

[kiphalfton]

Why would you be glad.

That just means more people are fucked in the head.

 

[Sonik]

I was being sarcastic, it's fucking depressing

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Lol

Hum…censor a christian pray gesture? Why?

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Lol, I did that in Xenogears when I had a Mecha and launched a mega technique at a normal person.

 

[ecosse_011172]

Hum…censor a christian pray gesture? Why?

CCP Propaganda I imagine...

 

[Tajaz2426]

Weak, gay bitches.

 

[DAHGAMING]

2025 has showen us that our friends in Japan and China are just like us in the West l, a bunch of woke soyboys.

 

[Guesclin]

Watch Chong lovers downplay CCP censorship and not whine as much as the Ready or not "censorship".

 

[diffusionx]

I keep saying this but y'all are not ready for the Chinese takeover of vidya

you will long for the days of EA and Ubisoft.

 

[ungalo]

we are already longing the days of EA and Ubisoft, when they released decent games

but right now even if chinese are mostly making souless crap it's still better than current EA and Ubisoft

 

[emivita]

So, unpatched disc version is the way to play the game?

 

[Chan]

I have no idea why this could cause a big outrage in Chinese players. But well, I'm not an expert in ancient Chinese culture.

Maybe comparable to killing someone like Jefferson, Lincoln, the Pope or whatever. I can certainly see how some westerners would get offended and outraged by it.

It's a work of fiction, I certainly wouldn't care.

 

[AJUMP23]

China going WOKE!

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

What a weak culture.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Yeah we were talking about this in the OT. They gimped some stages(specifically at the beginning of chapter 4 I hear) to adhere to the demands. It didn't really ruin the game and the rest of the patch(what it changed) was good for the game, but it is very weird. China really hated those farmers could be attacked, lol.

 

[Crownttano]

Should of patched in unskippable lesbian cutscenes

Ah, I get it now: I missed the part of the characters that now don't die are innocent farmers and one significant person for the history of China. I thought they were instead mosters significant only for the story of the game.

Now it makes sense, specially considering they are particularly sensitive regarding gore, corpses, etc.
