Black Myth: Wu Kong - a.k.a. "Sekiro 2: now YOU are the monkey"

Oh yeah, nothing like a bored woman hovering behind you to help you concentrate on something

The secret of this game's success:

This is why Communism will always lose in the end. It may defeat the bureaucratic capitalism of the west, but it will be a short-lived victory. A collapsed West would soon revert to religious zealotry.

A monke motivated through the biological need for banan will never measure up to a motivated zealot.

 

[dutchwench]

To be fair, in modern history, it's actually the Chinese who know way more about being motivated zealots than the Westerners. Boxer Rebellion started with a bunch of religious martial arts freaks beating the shit out of Christian priests. It took eight armies to put them down, though to be fair, they probably could have gotten away with just one army, if we believe Przhevalsky when he says that he'd be able to go straight for Beijing with just one army corps (per Schimmelpenninck's Toward the Rising Sun). It was, nevertheless, eight armies, which would have given the Chinese a moral victory if not for everything that followed.

The game has sold more than 10 million copies.

This and Hogwarths must hae certain people seething.

And all we got is a bunch of smelly screeching Chris Chans running around. Man China really has it figured out. I become more and more ashamed of my cuntry each day.

I have a problem with playing as a black man, but the hype is difficult to ignore. Is it gud?

What black man? I thought you are playing as a monkey.

He's insulting the monkey by comparing him to a nigger.

But it's a monkey it's not his fault he's a monkey.

 

[Lyre Mors]

I've always hated the bossfights in souls, but here they are fun enough to keep trying and devising the builds/tactics

Yes! Much like how Sekiro and AC6 are a couple of the only Fromsoft games where I really loved and looked forward to the boss fights, I feel very similarly about Black Myth. They're so well-designed and engaging that I can't wait to see the next one.

Is this more like Ninja Gaiden than Dark Souls?

Absolutely shameful by Raghar to not get that joke. And that despite the fact that he’s been at the Codex for 15 years.

I'm thinking Raghar was baiting.

Knowing how the Chinese work, now we can hopefully expect more single player games from them, mostly wukong clones.

It will sell well in Mexico if it has the Dragon Ball license.

 

[cruel]

Whiteclad noble, what a great fight, the highlight of the game so far. Fast, aggressive, but without a crazy high health pool and any cheap moves - 5 tries total. I like the difficulty so far, good balance between decent challenge and no bullshit.

It would be hilarious to watch, similar to the Souls-like bunch these days

14 hours in and I have to say, criticisms about the exploration were completely overblown. For the past several hours I've had at least 3-4 larger branches available for me to explore at any given time, each with a fair amount of nooks and crannies to poke around in, and with several larger boss fights to choose between.

It seems to me the "journalists" complaining about the exploration simply don't actually like exploring to begin with. This is easily a huge step up from things like Lies of P or Nioh, and maybe only a slight step down from Sekiro - with the caveat of exploration actually being rewarded moreso in this than Sekiro.

 

[Lyric Suite]

I think i may get this one before Lies of P. Sucks for the Koreans, but it's their fault for putting a faggot as the main character. Wukong is much cooler, and unlike dumb Americans who have only known him through Goku, i've watched much more prestigious anime adapations of Journey to the West when i was a kid, like this thing lmao:



Or Starzinger:



Seems like we got all the coolest anime in Italy, where as 'Murricans only know shit like Dragon Ball Z. Pff.

So would you say I was wrong and the game does earn the ActionRPG label?
