Recently, the well-known American media "New York Times" updated a long article on its official website and Twitter, titled "The Original God from China Defeated Japan in Video Games".
In the article, The New York Times elaborated on the huge revenue that Harashin has earned so far in the European, American and Japanese mobile game industries, describing Harashin as "a game that almost perfectly reproduces Japanese fantasy role-playing games, has made billions of dollars in Europe, the United States and Japan, and has set off a terrifying wave in the world's aging video game superpower." ”
But in fact, this tweet is not praising how powerful "Original God" is, and the second half even directly begins to attack "Original God" with yin and yang weirdness. The New York Times separately slammed Harashin as a parody of a Japanese fantasy role-playing game and its lack of features.
"Has all the hallmarks of Japanese games, such as giant robots; human-sized swords; characters with rainbow-colored hair with huge eyes and spikes; and a puzzling obsession with women dressed as maids." The only drawback is that it was made Chinese. ”
"While Mihayu may have achieved technical mastery, it still faces significant creative flaws – a strong reliance on Japanese themes... Mihayu and Harajin are better at imitating ideas in Japanese games than at proposing their own characteristics. ”
But no matter how foreign media attacked "Original God", this can only confirm that "Original God" is indeed too hot, so hot that people are eye-catching, so they have to attack the phenomenon from some aspects.
However, I also hope that "Original God" can get better and better, and can show more Chinese elements in the game, so that the world can see the culture from China.
