Greeting from China!

[Nindoze]

lol horse yes, that one never fails to confuse me

 

[Ennui]

it is a known fact (not by you, apparently), that china is the civilized country with maybe the most censorship. if you want an example, read about the movie/film making scene in china.
besides, i don't see your point.

north korea is worse, but you're still right.

I think you are from Taiwan. If I were you, I will think about before talk.

你好中国朋友!

I am not chinese or descend from there, but I'm learning a bit, because I visit China quite frequently.

That is cheap for a game, but I believe you could get the pirated version on any street for 5￥, less than $1. Not that I'm encouraging that, it's just a statement of fact.

Also they tend to ban games rather than censor them in China. For example C&C: Generals. However, you can pick up a copy of Generals from most pirate vendors, which operate nearly everywhere you go in the cities.

Glad to see China will be getting it soon, I advised some kid on a flight from Malaysia to Guangzhou to buy it when it was eventually released, because they were talking about computer games.

你好！yes, you are right that I can buy HL2 in a blackmarket for less than 1$, but it is pirated version,I want to play it online,and I can afford it,so I will not buy pirated version.
As you know,pirated CD is not invented by Chinese,and China is not the only country which have pirated CD.It is a problem for every countries.That is why steam be developed.

please do correct me if i am wrong, but you are, on a public forum, denying the mere right to think of (including but not limited to) the countries of taiwan and tibet to exist. this reasoning bears disturblingly similarities to regimes i will not mention.
i'll only say to watch what you say. there are rules here, written or not written.

 

[CaT^_^]

I never expected people from singapore in these forums.. I'm from singapore too and HL2 costs SGD$60 equivalent to about US$36

Nah, I don't think they are more strict than any other country when it comes to violence. I have seen Vice City and Doom 3 amongst others.

They ban them if they portray China in a bad way, and by bad way I mean any detail.

Generals was banned because "the notion of having terrorists operating within China's borders is ridiculous", and also they didn't like Beijing getting nuked by terrorists in the first mission.

Tomb Raider was banned because criminal gangs don't exist in China, obviously.

Some Swedish game was banned, something like IGI, can't remember exactly.

Also more recently a Nike advert due to be broadcast in China was banned, featuring a Nike basketballer using his moves to beat a Kung Fu artist.
This was considered 'A Great Blasphemy' against all of China and it's history and culture. Nike apologised for it a few days later.

China are investing lots of money into Chinese games developers to make lots of games portrayed China in a good light, and emphasising some national heros. Should be interesting to see what they produce.

I have to admit that you are very familiar with China, at least in PC Games.The reasons of banned games you said are very correct.Every country don't want be portrayed in a bad way by other country,including China,even in PC Game.
