The fourth reason is the reason why I haven’t tried it and I don’t wanna mess with like five other pieces of software to play this and plus most Chinese games are paid to win it seems

@2, 1942 is a single-player game.

Because the game came out at a time where I had real life things going on, stuff like my final exams came around together with the 4 month work project we had to do, my mind was pritty much focused on that and I didn't have the nerve to get myself into a strategy game.
Nowadays, I am busy with searching a flat, moving over and get into work, so I might have some time on my hand to try it out, but I don't know yet.

I don't mind messing around with lokale emulator if the game is worth it, and as far as I have seen it, it does sound like a neat game to pick up and bite into.

I won't go and mension your less than neutral guide in the off topic room that was edited.

You have to press one key to e.G. get the status about the character you're focussed on. Then, you press another key to copy that info so you can translate it. Then, you press a third key to translate that output. Nope, not interested. Get out. if a chinese speaker can press one button and instantly hear all the info, why should I press 3 of them for the same result? Yup, I'm lazy as fuck. Deal with it. The hacks currently used for chinese game translation are never intuitive like jgt is. Jgt just works, you load it, sign in, and you never have to worry about anything again as long as your net is fine. The two chinese games I played for a significant amount of time were rotk and Dreamland, because they had translations that didn't require you to press 420000 different keys to get the text you want!

Reasons 1, and 2. If someone made a cgt addon then maybe. I did use jgt to put hundreds of hours into shadow line after all. Also worth considering is the fact that this game quite literally has the same name as an arcade vertically scrolling shooter by capcom. If you do a search for 1942 gameplay on youtube, you will get footage of capcomz's game, so having a unique name might help.

Edit: I just tried doing that search, and, yeah. I got arcade and nes longplays of 1942, longplays of battlefield 1942, longplays of joint strike 1942, world wor ii is a popular subject to gamify, so this game really aut to have a name that stands out.

Only reason 1 for me.
Japanese is hard enough to translate into English, and Chinese seems even worse.  Plus we don't have a JGT like solution for Chinese games sadly...
This game seems like it could work better than those with allot of story though, as even JGT with Japanese games sucks for those.

The anti Japanese thing never bothered me since as far as I know, they never got hateful about it, and it's perfectly reasonable to feel that way from the Chinese point of view.  It's also just a game, not a textbook, objectivity isn't a primary concern.

I really would like to try some of these Chinese games though, it's just that I don't have the patients for bad translations.

5th reason, because I'm not super into games like that that are primarily text-based. Reasons 1-4 don't bother me at all. Language barrier is not an issue for me, and I'm perfectly fine with people disliking certain countries because of hostorical issues, and especially in a game, I can overlook that. Same in movies. But for that kind of game I'd much rather play an RTS than have so much reading to do. Feels like I'm playing a mud with a trigger set... and that is precisely why I don't play muds a whole lot. lol

You havent played the Condor Heroes much enough, but this is not the topic about that

Language barrier is one reason i never got into this, but the main reason is that World War strategy is just not my cup of tea. Language barrier applies to other Chinese and Japanese titles equally; scrambled translations make me sick. It's difficult to become immersed in a story when the translation is just plain awful. Mind you, this doesn't just apply to games; web novels and the like suffer from it as well. I tried to read the translations of the Dragon Blood novels by a famous Chinese web author, and I was left wondering  if the author was famous because he wrote novels or   if the story was really as  generic as it seemed.  the translations left a great deal to be desired; the story was fully translated, but I couldn't for the life of me understand what was so great about the novels.

When you translate the readme file, the developers actually step away from any sentiment against the japanese or any other group of people.
Only Nuno, who is basically the only advocate of chinese games brought anti japanese things into the hole thing, the guide in the articles room was edited upon request f the mods, but the polish guide to the game apparently still contains the deleted phrases and parts.

Greetings Moritz.

Yeah just having to press like 4 different keys to get one thing done, also just the way you had to look around for some reason didn't do it for me at all. I feel like the whole thing could have been way more intuitive? Actually that's my sentiments on basically all the Chinese games. Battle of Armageddon was a game I actually thought could be kinda fun and in some ways the first of it's kind, but the circa 1990s/early 2000s audio game design again turned me right off. I understand why some of the things ended up being the way they were, until I don't.

Yeah. If it was in English I'd play.
