Guijan 3 is absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous. It's like China made their own unique take on Final Fantasy with their own lore/culture and traditions

That looks really beautiful. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, as it’s all too easy to miss out of games that are well under the western radar like this. I’ll do some research into it.
Btw, trailer compilation here, for anyone interested. Had to briefly skip through as I’m a bit busy, but it looks cool.

I never heard about it but it does look interesting. I might dig a little deeper.

Every game out of china shares the same look, smell, patina. They will never learn, but not everyone cares about their culture. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is 20 years old and washed out. Seems like they´re being forced to create games that adhere to their cultural "beliefs".

Eh more of an example. it is a Chinese game that not only glorifies American/Bong ships but it doesn't look Chinese. That also happens to only have Japanese dubs.

So wait, I'm trying to understand that "you don't care about their culture" (correct me if I'm wrong) so they should stop makeing games with their culture in mind? I don't want to sound rude but your sentence was a little incorrect....

This kinda reeks of marketing lawl even if inadvertent... To be honest i don't like FF so i don't care for any similar titles much either.
But i lived in China for 5 years and i know there are hordes of committed, creative designers there (albiet often derivative), so it's no surprise to me that they may have cracked it for a good one.

I feel like if you're gonnah suggest a hidden gem you should talk about what it's like? FF like could really mean a lot

I mean, it's not exacly unknown by now. 16k (largely positive) reviews and counting on Steam. Various (better) threads about it here. It seems like a great C(hinese, not omputer)RPG.
I'll probably get it, when/if they patch online-only (basically it only saves online, not locally or something) out. Every time there's a new thread about it I hope it's news of it but it's not.

Mostly used Final Fantasy because of the over dramatic cinematics.
It's a hard game to explain, the story is kind kind of like Bleach, u are a shadow dancer, which is a lot like a soul reaper in soul society slaying demons/hollows.
And ya as soon as defeat the first boss and see that part of the game, you can see this was a passion project.
One thing that also struct me is that you don't really kill stuff.

Replace american pathos galore with chinese ...
I should have clarified that, games out of asia* look the same and not just china only. General speaking every game so far from china looked the same. Pretty sure, they´re "forced" to make games based around their culture. We will never see a mario clone with cellshading gfx or a Wind Waker type game from china.
Just look at Godfall for PS5 .. visually on the same page as Tera. Flamboyant - sports - bra wearing scantly girls with big weapons casting firespells. I despise those visuals and then there´s their nonexisting Intellectual property protection.

I bought this during it's $10 sale on Steam and it's outstanding. I'm about 10 hours in and I'm loving it already. Getting Witcher 3 vibes from it and the combat is fun without being annoying plus the graphics are impressive as well. The quests are keeping me entertained and the story is moving along nicely despite a somewhat iffy English translation. Definitely getting my money's worth so far.

Think it uses some online-only DRM that requires your save data to sit on a Chinese server to play the game, so I've never looked into the game.
When you launch it, steam asks you to choose a server, Asia and North America. I just chose North America. I don't really see any issues continuing where I've left off. Think it won't work in offline mode, but I cannot recall being kicked when my net went bad so it's not like you'll be instantly thrown out. Will check when I play next time just for interest sake.
There is some design elements I'm not too fond of, but that's not enough to put me off, because I for one actually love story and beautiful cut-scenes. So if I fail repeatedly at the platforming section I just try and try again. The stages are huge so it's easy to get lost a bit. Kind of wish they could do this game in VR (Never going top happen), just to admire the scale of things.
Game does work in 4k, just had to set my desktop resolution.

Yeah, all Chinese (or Asian, lol) games look the same and all are about their culture. Wtf am I reading, just because when some of them make fantasy medieval stuff they like their armors flamboyant or they may use their mythology, how is that bad when in the West they use Greek/Roman/Norse/Egyptian mythologies and in Japan they use Japanese mythology and they also may have art direction that is more common, ie, greybrowngrimdark grit in the West or anime in Japan, how's it bad China also has some distinct cultural and artistic characteristics to export, especially when, just like in Japan and in the West, not everyone has to use them, which is why there's tons of different kinds of things being made all over the world? I mean, their shit is cool and nobody else is making it so why shouldn't they do some of their cool Chinese flying kung fu/swordsmanship shit as in their movies a la crouching tiger hidden dragon or whatever shown in video games? That shit's cool. Wuxia I think they call it. Not every game from China is based on that. Just as not every western game has knights or every Japanese game samurai and ninjas. What a dumb statement.

Ok so I tested the whole online saving functionality thing, the test was done on North America.
When I turn off my internet, after around 30 seconds the game pauses and throws a unstable connection error. When I reconnect my internet everything just goes back to normal. When I turned off the internet and went to a new area, the screen went blank and after a while asked me to reconnect my internet. I did just that and I continued normally.
Going to hate me for this, but this is a pretty good and kind of well implemented anti piracy measure for a single-player game. And it's not really that intrusive, if it complained about my connection after a lag spike that would suck, if it had to download additional content like some American based games did in the past that would of been annoying.
I find it acceptable, although I don't trust the Asian server fully, they can't have more data on me than Google and Facebook which knows more about me than I do...
Also saw a post that said as soon as the servers shutdown for the previous games they made the saves available offline.
I actually think this DRM measure is better than Denuvo.

Some of them looks super cool. Names, please!Yeah, all Chinese (or Asian, lol) games look the sam and all are about their culture. Wtf am I reading, just because when some of them do decide to make fantasy medieval stuff they like their armors flamboyant or they may use their own mythology, like, how is that bad when in the West they use Greek/Roman/Norse/Egyptian mythologies and in Japan they use Japanese mythology and they also may have a given art style that is more common, ie, greybrowngrimdark grit in the West or anime in Japan, how's it bad China also has some distinct cultural and artistic characteristics to export, especially when, just like in Japan and in the West, not everyone has to use them, and not everyone does, which is why there's tons of different kinds of things being made all over the world?

Is there anything more retarded and embarassing than waifu battleships?
Unacceptable.
This is shit. When they shut down the servers you'll be unable to play your regularly bought game.

I just googled and found a random curator and got some screenshots from the games arranged by top sellers, you can go down the list yourself, I didn't dig too much, just found some examples. Though I bought Banner of the Maid today and knew of My Time at Portia and others.
store.steampowered.com
I think I read somewhere Gujian 2 also had online-only bs that was later patched out so hopefully they'll patch that out in 3 as well at some point, maybe they treat that stuff like western pubs treat denuvo, patching it out after some time cos it served its drm purpose or whatever...
Just noticed op didn't even spell the game's name right >_>
Steam Curator: Games from China and Taiwan
We will highlight all Games from Mainland China, HK and Taiwan, so people who are looking for those, can easily find them by following us! (EN) stands for an english localization. (CN) for just chinese.

Their other games still work apparently. But those haven't been translated.
In theory the method of storing saved games on a server to progress should be something that's easily undone and something the developers would have full control over. Would not require 3rd party proprietary crap like Denuva and most of the other crap we had all over the years.
Save files are also small in size, I have been playing this game throttled @ 2Mbit and didn't notice the save files were online until someone mentioned it. Thought the game had some kind of multiplayer aspect to it.
So ya there is some kind of irony of one of the greatest copyright offenders coming up with one of the best solutions to protect their game from piracy...
