SCREENRANT Black Myth #wukong Review= I'm So Confused...Are You?!?

*For now, DO NOT sign up for the GOD OF WAR tier membership as it will be changing very soon. You can always upgrade if you dig the new perks for that tier but for now, any tier will get you access to Warstories!

PATREON VS. YOUTUBE: OH, and YOUTUBE is best if you dig the videos and are there for the live chats and want the emojis and anniversary posts,etc. But they are not good for podcasts. If you dig podcasts, I suggest the Patreon as it's a MUCH better experience for listening.

There are no women in this game? Geez, I hope this reviewer never played a game like Tetris—she'll REALLY freak out. 😂

[TsunoOkashi]

Did she define what a “woman” is? Did she assume the gender of a collection of polygons?

[Angr_Issue]

Being hated by a woke critic is a badge of honor

[mandrewandley]

It's already so diverse. Look at all the different animals XD

[lennon]

To me this "lack of diversity" thing screams rage bait, but i don't know

[alexandervolgzangief]

"Journalism" has sunk to a new low. I was hyped for the game and it hasn't changed. My only concern was the fear of Black Myth: Wukong being just a boss rush. Fortunately, this is not the case.

Black Myth Wukong is based on Journey to the West and you are telling me there is lack of women??
As someone who read the novel and watched many series about Journey to the West, there are MANY women and very beautiful women. When Wukong goes to heaven, there literally more women and than men!

Zhu Bajie, who is one of Wukongs companion, the little pig in Dragon Ball Z, is the most perverted character in the series, chasing women, peeking through a tiny hole watching women shower. Zhu Bajie does this the entire series!

There are TONS of women in the story!

[puppetMattster]

There are a bunch of women in the trailers, including a woman who is also the spider queen boss, and another with a crazy long neck.

[jessewayman]

They all are no longer game reviewers. They are all now activists. They need to be fired

[takashimimei]

我明白了为什么给3分了，因为第二章出现了很多漂亮的女人，而这个傻逼媒体不希望只想要LGBT, 所以强行打低分！🙄I understand why it was given 3 points, because there were a lot of beautiful women in the second chapter, and this stupid media didn't want only LGBT, so they forced a low score! 🙄

[OdinAesthetic]

For arguments sake if you judge a game poorly because there's no women, and its what you bring to art...

Can I review a game poorly, under the same premise, because there's no naked women?

Would you say "he has a right to review how he wants" or would you say "what an asshole? "

Let's be honest.

[clintonc]

The women comes after chapter 2 that's why the frame rate drops...women

[TerraWare]

Just another example of how far mainstream journalism has fallen and why most people think they are a joke.

[megaboxxx]

"Lack of Diversity" is a stupid argument on any review.

[CrimsonWing]

IGN’s review even stated serious issues and bugs like falling through the ground multiple times in a boss fight, yet it gets an 8/10? Even better is IGN China gives it a 10/10, lol. Please make this make sense.

[Vitaphone]

Sorry but lack of diversity isn’t a valid criticism… but this is what the state of criticism has come to after years of normalizing absurdity.

I expect someone to have a level of personal bias and preferences… that’s understandable… but it has no place in critiquing by such criteria by a paid professional… or for that matter anyone who presents as a critic.

It becomes instantly obvious how absurd this is when you substitute diversity with anything else not part of actual criticism… the diversity quotient is only a valid criticism if the game set out to and was pushed as it being a game fundamentally about diversity… than it becomes a valid point of contention.

This is no better than people who instantly right off anything that has been labeled woke… even if it isn’t woke, even those people have a legitimate concern as there are no game devs who are “red pilled” or what ever anti woke ideology who have stated their sole purpose is to dismantle woke practices… their existence no arm of the government that has a deliberate intent to dismantle woke ideology… no anti woke consultant firms.

Again all of that seems absurd because the backlash or counter movement is not off the day… but on their own logistical merits they are comparable examples.

It’s torcheres to watch otherwise intelligent people go through such mental gymnastics when people try to defend this kind of stuff because they happen to ideologically agree with the politics of said person… but you can’t use logic to defend illogical or intellectually bankrupt ideas.

I suppose there is one other caveat, that doesn’t really justify using uncritical methodology for criticism… if the outlet has a stated and obvious brand in which they lens every topic through said lens… we don’t get made at the onion for printing satire and fake news… because it what they do.

The problem that a lot of people have who are anything but “woke” is that audience capture by a minority of Americans who are terminally online have bought into the same tree of ideology and pass it off as “just the news” or intellectual critique… when it simply isn’t.

Jaffe, nothing is confusing about. You just passed their social experiment. We all have to pay rent/mortgage, so many folks like you & other content creators are giving this life. Screenrant is reaping the rewards of engagement now as of result.

[LeanFuture]

I’m so sick of this stuff. I’m not really interested in this game but this crap about counting each penis and non-white person is so disgusting and small minded. Critics are digging their own holes into obscurity so quickly but not fast enough.

[sodazman]

There's plenty of women in the game. She just had to be skilled enough to get through the first two chapters.

[iamtorrego]

This is why NO ONE should follow reviews. Opinions and biases are getting out of control.
