An editor is doing more honest journalism than 99% of gaming "journalists"

[pixelpastiche]

This channel is actually doing more work for journalistic investigation than 95% of actual journalists who investigate the same topics. Great job but also what the fuck.

I am Chinese and so the situation is a lot chinese player did not cheat or modify any file but the blue bear says they cheated and they can't play online, some of them even get banned

[Nameless_JPN-ENG]

To be fair, I live in Taiwan and my friend lives in Hong Kong. We both only recently reinstalled the game for the dlc and we never did mod our games.
We had no issue playing through the base game back then but my friend got sent to offline twice and me once while playing this dlc for alleged hacking.
It also do be a bit laggy some of the time.
I still am enjoying the dlc but I do understand where those frustrations are from.

[milkyym]

"China doesn't like it because it's not pay to win" killed me idk why 💀

[Shiirow]

if they make another dlc, they should make a little blue bear boss so the chinese players can vent their frustrations.

[milanors]

Change it to a yellow bear and they will stop.

[ID-unavailable]

They should just add a minor boss in some random spot that is a blue runebear and is stronger than the one in the consecrated snow field lmao

[Jarikraider]

mfw the Chinese version of their operating system is probably triggering the anti-cheat.

[Kross]

They're not wrong, Easy Anti-Cheat is utter dogshit.

[Paschendale]

Thank you for looking into the Chinese reviews Mr. Editor. I never would have guessed it was the anticheat they were mad about

[theownerer]

lmao the editor roasting asmon with advice that asmon gave.

[ye]

I’m Chinese and I lived in the US for 8 years. This might surprise you but most people I know in China who’s heavily invested in Elden ring and other souls games don’t know how to turn off the blue bear. As a matter of fact, websites like Nexus mod gets blocked by the GFW and there’s no “toggle anti cheat” sort of thing on Chinese net. I guess that’s why they are complaining?

Plus, a lot of us Chinese gamers are cheaters especially in online play, I hate to acknowledge it but it’s the truth. I won’t apologize for them cause I’m not one of them but still every time shit like this happens I feel ashamed.

In many non-english-speaking countries it's substantially harder to purchase or build a high-end gaming PC, because essential parts such as GPU's and CPU have no real domestic equivalent, or really bad ones, so have to be imported which often severely increases their price and reduces availability. I live in Brazil and I can tell you that every single US-imported part such as a NVidia GPU costs from 50% more to double even after you take currency conversion into account. Though Brazil does have an egregious tax on imported electronics I doubt it's only a problem here.

Anything that hampers performance such as anti-cheats and DRM will get extra hate in those countries.

blue bear the worst enemy in elden ring

[DrakeIsSerious]

ASMONGOLD EDITOR FINDS OUT EVERY THING

[SentinalSlice]

I thought little blue bear was some sort of nickname for a Japanese Dev and they were just really mad at them. I’m glad to see it was just Anti Cheat.

[Allen-qsxr]

Simple search in chinese tells you it's detecting inappropriate activity and causing players to be logged off for no reason over there. Perks of being not monolingual.

[criises]

I mean, they're not wrong, the blue bear should just go

Edit: I don't play PVP.
I don't like 3rd party programs in my games, specially one that causes performance issues.
No I'm not a chinese player lmao
