Thanks for watching!

On this channel, I discuss topics like RPGs, CRPGs, JRPGs, FFXIV, Baldur's Gate 3, Diablo 4, Path of Exile, Elden Ring, MMOs, World of Warcraft, and gaming industry news.

I think this might be the best video I've made so far.

So many wake up calls you'd think they be awake by now

[dippity]

Elden Ring was a wakeup call
Balders Gate 3 was a wakeup call
Black Myth Wukong is a wakeup call
How many times they gonna hit that snooze button before they get up!

it is the whole Asia, not only China, we grow up watching this story

Black Myth: Wukong creators went scouring all over China and painstakingly 3D-scanned the architectures, statues, and artifacts from historical sites, relics, temples, and museums, as well as taking inspirations from ancient paintings and murals, to use for developing the game, thanks to the treasure trove of Chinese history and culture.

Imagine if more and more developers do something like this, what a blast it would be to explore the treasure trove of history and culture of ancient Egypt, Persia, India, Roman Empire, Greece, Maya civilizations, etc, thru playing a single player game.

Black Myth Wukong succeeding despite the collective efforts of mainstream video game media trying to put it down is very much like Wukong (the character) achieving immortality many times over despite all of heaven trying to put it down. It's very poetic in that sense.

As a Chinese, I got teary-eyed towards the end of this video. Just because I feel that you really got how we, grown up listening to the tales of Journey to the West, felt playing this game.As you said, this game really reached over the cultural iron curtain and reminded us that deep down we are all alike.

Small point of interest and appreciation: New devs making their first big game made better facial animations for both yaoguais and humanoids than multibillionaire Ubisoft's Star Wars Outlaws.

The facial animations in Black Myth Wukong are made by my wife, she's in the dev team, so proud of her!

An old Chinese poem seems especially appropriate.
兩岸猿聲啼不住, 輕舟已過萬重山
A literal translation goes...
The apes on the riverbank barks in vain, the nimble raft sails true past ten thousand mountains.
Pay no heed to the noise and stay on course. I wish more people do this.

Wukong is just a well made, Complete game. Single player. Multiple endings. Just like back in the day. Hidden bosses, awesome fun combat, just classic gaming. They put ALOT of work into this game. Presentation 10/10. A masterpiece really.

This may be China’s first AAA game, but China has a huge gaming industry and plenty of talent. GameScience as a studio may be new, but its staff are NOT new to the gaming industry. The two creators worked on mobile games at Tencent for a decade, and that’s where they met. They left to make the game of their dreams. So I’m not surprised at all that China’s first AAA game is so amazing.

Gamers weren't "tired of linear, single player games." We were sad, because good games have endings, and we always want more.

[monsterjuanster]

The animated shorts after every chapter are amazing.

[blasphemousred]

Every game that reveals what gamers truly want is a wake up call.

Stop Asian hate but when there are only Asians in a product, journalists start hating

I usually skip the Lore Journal entries in games but in Black Myth every entry is not an exposition dump, but a short story. Every single enemy has a tale about who they were in life. The days they fell in love, or learned a hard lesson. It humanizes every single foe you've faced in a way I've never seen in a game before. Check them out, fr.

You can't wake up those that are pretending to be asleep.

In the cave at 6:12, there are 12 statues depicting the 12 Chinese zodiacs. I took 5 minutes to appreciate them but was never able to find the monkey. It just now clicked with me that YOU were the monkey that broke off from the statue. We don't know why or how the destined one got there, but that's such a cool way to start off the chapter.

This video is quite literally what I have been feeling for the last few days, and I felt like I was going crazy cos no content creator or reviewer has expressed similar sentiment in such a elegant way. Great work.
