Sorry Sal!

Chinese state media has taken aim at recently released video game Battlefield 4, accusing it of “demonising the image of China in a new form of cultural aggression”.

In an editorial published last week in military newspaper Zhongguo Guofangbao, Battlefield 4 was criticised for “discrediting China’s image abroad and distorting the truth in an effort to mislead young people”.

“[In the game], American soldiers attack Shanghai [and] exchange fire with the People’s Liberation Army,” the editorial read. “Set in the year 2020, China’s domestic unrest is the [game’s] backdrop, and the US military must fight for peace and uncover China’s conspiracies.”

The editorial went on to critique the game’s plot, which features a renegade Chinese general as a main villain, and said it was full of “profanity” and “made no sense”.

“When western countries would make war games in the past, they would settle on Russia if they needed an imaginary enemy,” the article read. “But in recent years, with the boosting of China’s national strength, China threat theories run rampant, and foreign companies are increasingly pcb board keen to put the Sino-US conflict in their games as a gimmick to attract attention.

“The use of video games…to discredit one country’s image in the eyes of other countries is a new form of cultural penetration and aggression.”

Nintendo is a monster this month, despite the general drop in points from last month. The top 4 skus are all published by Nintendo, thanks to Square Enix's refusal to localize a certain 3DS RPG themselves.

Speaking of RPG's, here's the current ranking for the top of the bunch:

X > Bravely Default > Dark Souls 2 (All Platforms Combined)) > Persona 5 > Final Fantasy 15 > Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD > The WItcher 3

I find it very strange that a new main series Final Fantasy title is #5 on this list, and that despite all the hubbub about the JRPG declining, .the first WRPG is at #7 in this little ranking. Also, note that the RPG's are spread across a number of platforms.

Other thing to note:

Hyrule Warriors is already becoming pretty anticipated, with 11 points since two days ago, beating out any Vita games. I expect it to get something like 15 to 20 points next month, which would probably be a record for a Warriors game here. ESPECIALLY on a single platform.

Other things of note include Kirby disappointing me personally, the 360 coming back for an encore poor performance, and the continuous 3-way battle for dominance between the Wii U, PS3, and PS4.
