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

[Cyberarmy]

I just can't kill Wandering Wight for some reason, 10 tries so far. He seems easy, and it looks like he is optional, but man - no idea how are you supposed to dodge the rock throw (?) he does after 3x earth slam combo, it gets me every time. It looks like you're getting hit the moment animation is done, no time to dodge, standing on staff doesn't help. I will leave him for now, but he is bugging me. The only obvious weakness seems to be fire.

There is another boss around that place, if you defeat him you can use his form to tank the big hit. Also that can form can deal nice damage, stagger and attacks inflict burn.
I avoided that force punch mostly rolling like mad and it kinda worked.

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

Is this game the proof of the superiority of communism over Western capitalism ?

No that was everything Blizzard made post merger.

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.

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.

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

Reading steam forums with all those HOW IS THIS SO POPULAR THE CHINESE ARE USING UNFAIR TACTICS is hilarious.

Also, I've played a bit more, and this shit really became good around the big wolf boss.
I've always hated the bossfights in souls, but here they are fun enough to keep trying and devising the builds/tactics.

Esp. the snake noble, the fight feels like someone took an actual effort to replicate the feel of action scenes in chinese movies, where the dudes are walking 8n circles, then clash for a bit of action, and return to walking.

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.

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.

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

 

[Forest Dweller]

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.

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

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.
