I live in China as a foreigner, and this game is everywhere! It's even commercialized in coffee shops and other spots-truly a blast to see how widespread it is. If you're familiar with Chinese culture, Wukong has deep roots in their mythology, and I think this game is one of the coolest ways to introduce that to the West.
中国欢迎一切友善的人❤
@@Celeste-z8n 中国很可爱，人们都很热情欢迎 😊
Im from southeast asia and I dont have chinese blood but,i used to watch journey to the west from TV. The TV Station back in the day keep playing differnt serries of it and now we have game of the legendary wukong. Its sure bring back memories
It's interesting to see other cultures react to something they never seen before. I grew up on the Journey to the West series and was obsessed with this as a kid. I watched the Cantonese version starring Dky Cheung as the actor (can't say his first name lol). Will say there are a lot of themes that differ drastically from Western fairytales (as this is a mythology), so it's really fascinating to compare the two - like the Wukong series vs Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, two ocult fantasies in the West. I also read the original novel by Wu Cheng'en and felt like the movies couldn't even compare to the writing alone. There is a lot of intricate details about the characters, environment, and interactions that got me so in love with the series. It's going to be an interesting rollercoaster to see how people react to this.
@@sinsa3636 Thanx for sharing! It was intresting reading about your experience
Goku is just actually a Japanese pronunciation of Wukong. As you all know by now the initial story and some characters of Dragon Balls were inspired by the Journey to the West
The character of Son Goku in the Japanese manga "Dragon Ball" is based on the character from the Chinese novel "Journey to the West."
Yeah we all know stop spamming this sht people you're becoming annoying to everyone
Japan use a lot of elements from Chinese culture and Japanize the elements and broadcast so lots of western people think it's from Japan. The very language Japan use - Japanese, use Chinese character as basis but invade China and almost every Southeast aisan counties anyway. Taker in its nature. Nonetheless very persistent in its way to conquer and occupy.
是不是以为别人都不知道？
Do you think no one else knows?
@@goodebooks 不知道才是常态，你指望老外还要知道龙珠取材西游记？文化传播谁占先机就是谁的，你不说他老外知道个屁。
It's funny to see ppl mention Goku when Wukong riding the cloud, which they aren't wrong, Goku in Japanese translate to Wukong, and the author of DBZ was inspired by Chinese's Wukong Mythology to created DBZ with Saiyan being monkey and shits. Also ppl mentioned Naruto shadow clones when Wukong uses his, don't they know Wukong is the original, and the master of clones lol. In Chinese mythology, Wukong has the ability to turn his hair in to clones of ANYTHING, and he has over 80 thousand hairs on his body, he himself can also transform into anything he wants, even transform into his opponents. And that's barely one of his most broken abilities that he has, which is why no gods in Chinese myth can beat him, only a few can fight him equally, but he's immortal over immortal, so he's unbeatable. And don't worry, this has nothing to do with the game's story, so I'm not spoiling anything about the game, I'm just saying Wukong is just him, one of the strongest characters EVER written.
I mean they are literally just saying "hey this is similar to another thing I know" and not "wow they took that from Goku/Naruto."
@@TheAndymacm They are streamers, they don't mostly watch anime. Some do but not all of them knows that Goku was literally inspired by Sun Wukong
In our Chinese mythology Journey to the West, Wukong is a being that cannot be killed by anyone because it is an immortal body.
Son Goku and Sun Wukong using sam kanji just different pronunciation betwen Chinese and Japanese
yeah, this mf eat lot of immortality stuff, be it potion or an apple, everything that gives immortality, he took it all.
The myth novel (Journey to the West) was written by Wu Chengen of years @1506-1580AD in Ming Dynasty, based on high Buddhist monk Tang Xuanzang @627AD in Tang Dynasty, who went to India to worship buddhism, and brought back all scriptures.The novel characters Wukong, Pig Bajie, Monk Sha, were fictional to escort Monk Tang Xuanzang who was an actual person in history, you can find his legendary and artifacts in Xian, China.
The info above is accurate and I can testify for that, because I live in Xi'an China myself!
Love a good copy and paste
Is Sun Wukong definitely a fictional character? It looks just like a real one. I thought that all monkeys in China are like this: they fly on clouds, fight well and use magic. In my opinion, your statements are inaccurate. I would doubt the existence of a monk.
In my city, drunken bears play balalaika, in China, monkeys beat everyone in a row. Everything is logical.

Black Myth: Wukong - original story back dated to 16th century 1592 ( China Ming Dynasty )
- wikipedia
It's much earlier than that. The folk lores about monkey king had been popular since tang dynasty, almost 1000 years earlier! It was inspired by a true saga: monk chen xuanzang of early Tang dynasty visited India for Buddhism books. It took him 14 years from chang'an the capital of tang dynasty to India and from India back to chang'an. Yeah, it is much earlier!
@@soowo5942 XuanZang was a true character of Tang dynasty , even ancient india has records about his visit ... fascinating bro
Wukong 2 will have multilayers ?

@@mutucurry9071 Don't talk nonsense. India has never been xuan zang in India's record. All records are in ancient Chinese literature. Because Indians never record history.
What an intro, it’s fking crazy!!! Kudos to the art designers and the developers.
One fact mostly people didn't know...
The story of Journey To The West, the book was wrote at Year 1592,
It was about 432 yeras ago.
So, All those anima base actually was from the Journey To The West.
😂😂😂😂😂
One fact MOST people didn’t know…
The novel of Journey to the West was WRITTEN in the year 1592
So all these ANIME were BASED off of Journey to the West.
Learn how to type lil bro 😭🙏😂
literally everyone knows that shit you aint cookin there , nobody is getting they mind blown by some basic ass common knowledge shit like that stfu
wukong is the OG shonen anime

Stellar Blade is GOTY
@@user-pj6rn7zh6z Nah, not quite there yet, Stellar Blade is good but Wukong is better.
@@user-pj6rn7zh6z i havent seen naked mod, so it isnt .
The story takes place after Journey to the West. When Wukong transforms into a bird, he suddenly experiences a headache due to the Tightening Spell, which limits his abilities.
I think he just got covid 🤣....those nasty headaches..
It’s not a spell, it’s the headband that the Buddha gave to the monk tangshen who placed on wukong as a way to control him after he freed wukong, since wukong is so powerful and uncontrollable, now every time he is out of line the monk just need to chant and the headband will tighten to such a degree it gives wukong a severe headache that he can no longer function. But at the end of journey to the west, the headband was removed as wukong finally understood what it means to be kind and just from the journey / his master the monk. So I am not sure why the headband all of sudden reappeared magically as he is falling, also it suppose to be a physical headband not just appear out of thin air…..I guess we will find out in this game
It’s hilarious reading westerners comments trying to understand this game, the story really isn’t for westerners you need to understand a lot of the background and lore tied to journey of the west to appreciate the game, even native Chinese like me has trouble understand some of the meaning in the game and I just started. Add on the horrible English dub and forget it.
I guess just enjoy the graphic and action of a well made game and don’t try to understand the story too much.
@@onlythebest3311no one should listen to your advice lmao
@@onlythebest3311I assure you that your primitive stories are not too complicated for western audiences. We invented the technology you are using to communicate and to build these games.
So this one isnt the real wukong right?
I suggest that everyone who is going to play this game should actually watch this legendary movie 1st. After that you will have a better understanding of who is Wu Kong fighting with. Go watch Journey To The West. BTW, the guy with 3 eyes is Er Lang Shen.
In dragon balls they call Tien Shinhan, Tien Shinhan😂

I have read through numerous comments, and most of the attention is focused on Sun Wukong's various abilities. For example, he can change into his own monkey or monkeys with a handful of monkey hairs by using 72 kinds of changes. However, in Chinese culture, people like Sun Wukong more because he is naturally kind-hearted, knows right from wrong, has independent thinking when facing things between humans, gods, and demons, understands good and evil, and still maintains his original intention after being pressed down by the Buddha for 500 years. He still protects his master wholeheartedly along the way while maintaining his own judgment about good and evil. You can see this specifically in the chapter where Sun Wukong kills robbers to protect farmers before putting on the tightening hoop curse. It can even be said that Sun Wukong is the most human, courageous, kind, loyal, and intelligent character among all members of the journey team
He represents the good in humans I think, like if I remember he's got a weird way of solving things but he thinks from the perspective of a common man, that's why I like the voice they picked cause in my head wukong is a fierce warrior but he's also a little shit
independent thinking you say? not something they support in china anymore it seems.
@@samanthar.3903 I like to think he represents the swordsman trope in Chinese culture, which is a kind of chaotic good. You are a good person, but you are also quick to anger, quick to resort to violence. You honour oaths and morality, but not the law. "If you see evil being done, draw your sword and render aid."
@@user-ps2ou2iz9i Sorry Wukong has never killed a human being. He only kills Yaoguai.
@@Ealsantetotally agreed
Journey To The West is one of the most well know Chinese novel, even put in (must study) curriculum, that because it combines multiple religions, some real history, and art.
It will level up your experience if you understand Chinese and play this game in Chinese, it use classical Chinese and one word in classical Chinese can express many meanings.

China people thinks there are just China and non-China
The US people thinks there are US and non-US
Both are pathetically narrowed minded view.
As a Chinese I can confirm
To some extend, this is the original One Piece written 500 years ago. Featuring characters not like Whitebeard and Akainu, but like Gautama Buddha and Lao Tzu.
The main character is not Monkey D Luffy, but an actual monkey.
The journey was not to find One Piece, but the greatest literatures of enlightenment from the Buddha himself.
They did not sail the Grandline, they journeyed to the west on foot, fighting legendary monsters along the way.
And btw, Journey to the West itself was inspired by the true event of the Tang monk Xuanzang journeying on foot India to bring back the greatest Buddhism literatures to China.
Fun fact : According to Chinese Folklore, Wukong's staff from heaven weighs 13,500 catties ( 8100 kilograms). Thats right - It weighs 8 tons! But he is so STRONG and pure of heart that he's able to wield it and still walk on the clouds, light as air.
He can wield it not because he's pure of heart. This isn't marvel's Mjolnir. He can wield it simply because he's that STRONG
@@laureneiseley6472 Read my comment again. Hes able to wield (carry) it and STILL. WALK. ON. THE. CLOUDS.
I love wukong, but he's ANYTHING but pure of heart lmao
@@neththeobnoxioussponge8929 then you must know something the Chinese dont.
Pure of heart doesn't necessarily mean morally good. As mentioned, he desired freedom above all else, enough to defy the demon king and the celestial court. He was however enlightened and achieved the title of Victorious Fighting Buddha, which is pretty much a clear giveaway that he wasn't a pacifist.
As a fan of the Chinese Wukong live action series, this English voice did a pretty decent job at preserving the original’s cockiness tone. Even the pitch is similar
The forehead thing is the 3rd eye. ErLong is a well known god in this myth
Fun facts i. Erlong is the protector god for sex worker in China.
@freeskier64 that's actually true. His statue is everywhere at those massage parlors
Pronous as Er - Lang - Shen, 3 eyes god.
just "some random guy"
Which inspired DB's Tien Shinhan.

why watch it when you can read the actual novel lol
@@user-fo5zv4ld4zme when it’s all in Chinese and so you can’t read it🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
@@Ace-Intervention The original novel, Journey to the West, uses ancient vernacular Chinese, or a simple version of classical Chinese. I believe this will be very troublesome for foreign readers, and I suggest that those who do not speak Chinese can look for the 1986 Journey to the West TV series, which should be familiar with English subtitles
indeed, they don't even know why the gold head band will hurt wukong

Monkey King. Has always been one of my most favorite characters from Chinese mythology. And game looks great as well, plus the fact that it makes wokies p**s their pants is an added bonus. Yeah, I'll head over to get it.

And this was created by the auther 500 years ago. The monkey fought agaist all the gods in heaven. What a story.
Wukong is a representative who pursues freedom and opposes authoritarianism, as every Chinese knows.

this intro is so badass after completing it i clicked on new journey and replayed it ....
Man I feel old, when he was flying on the cloud all I could hear in my head was the theme song to the TV show Monkey, it was based of the same novel.
Novel? It is Wu Cheng'en who wrote the novel 《xi you ji》------「Journey to the West」
what a classic sound of the flying cloud…just bring me back to the 90s for an instant. the sound designers definitely show love to the first version TV drama of Journey to The West
Makes me wanna revisit the original TV series and the novel LOL. This brings back so much childhood memories.

Westerners don't understand Chinese culture, so they can only explain it this way: America is the Jade Emperor who rules over mankind, and Sun Wukong is the gangster boss. Sun Wukong's mission is to eliminate the gangster boss on the way and obtain the true scriptures. After completing the mission, Sun Wukong wants to return to the life of an ordinary person. America knows that Sun Wukong is very powerful and doesn't want him to be an ordinary person. Yang Jian is the CIA, sent by the Jade Emperor to kill Sun Wukong!

Wukong represents freedom and bravery. The real Wukong was killed by the Heavenly Court, but there are still Wukong's friends and countless players who regard Wukong as their own destiny and fight. It is recommended to watch the complete TV series and books.
But in the book and series Wukong never died
Wukong is immortal
That intro was absolute fire, so epic! Intro sold me! Damn payday can't get here quick enough! Edit - thanks for the 31 likes. Can't wait till payday. Next week get here already!
It's even nearer now!
Ok imma try to give as most context as I can:
Long time ago there’s was a rock born from heaven sitting in a mountain, one day a monkey was born out of it, he latter founds a group of monkeys and he becomes their king later the monkey releases that he’s not immortal so he goes in a journey to be imortal, in the way he learns tricks from a teacher in a town, that gives him abilities to transform and duplicate ect, (this is where he gets the name of Sun wukong) until one day Wukong broke his teacher promise of not ever using his abilities to be famous, so the teacher kicks him out, wukong decides to continue his journey of power and immortality, he keep fighting demons and exploring until he founds a palace underwater, he goes in and ask for a weapon he almost didn’t found one until the king gave wukong the magic staff, but wukong wanted armor too so the king, scared called other palaces, they came thinking they were going to fight until the king told them to not engage “he’s too strong,” so they all agree and give wukong pieces of armor, after wukong leaves the kings tells what happens to the gods of heaven and “hell” and they obviously get pissed off so hell takes wukong there, wukong founds a type of temple that has a book, on that books there’s the names of every creatures so he founds his name and the names of his family’s and cross them, this gives wukong 1 point of imortality, after this he goes back to his family but heaven not trusting wukong tells him to come to heaven, wukong agrees, the gods give wukong the job of a stable man, for wukong he thought this was amazing but in reality this was the worst rank on heaven, wukong gets super pissed and leaves, he gets back home and to wukong it’s been just a few months but for his family it’s been years, so they throw a party, the gods (trying to control Wukong) tells wukong to come back that they have a higher rank job to give to Wukong, wukong again agrees and goes, the job is basically to protect a tree, that tree has the peaches of immortality, and it’s wukong job to protect it, wukong agrees and protects the tree until one day a group of ladies come to the tree, asking wukong for a few peaches, wukong ask why and they tell him that the gods are having a party and he is not invited, after the ladies leave Wukong gets super pissed to he eats all of the peaches, this makes him immortal by a bunch of times then he goes to the party (which it haven’t started) and drinks the kings wine of immortality he also goes to the kitchen and eats a bunch of pill of immortality he founds, after he sobers up he relies in the amount of problems he is in so he runs away back to his family, the gods of heaven extremely pissed wants to kill Wukong so Wukong and a group of soldiers that he has goes and fights a bunch of gods he ends up wining so the king had to call Buddha, a then buddha puts in a prison for 500 yrs. One day a monk named Tang Sanzang was “talking to Buddha” aperently there was a war going on and they had to stop it, Buddha gives the monk Tang Sanzang a bunch of scriptures, if someone ever read those scriptures they would be come peaceful no matter what, but there’s was a problem he had to go to the west and a bunch of demons wants to kill Tang Sanzang because they believe they will be immortal if they do this, so Buddha gives Tang Sanzang a group of body guards first (Sun Wukong) then a god that haves been kicked from heaven then cursed to turned into a half human half pig (Zhu Bajie), and a cursed half human half fish (Sha Wujing) before they left Buddha put on them a golden headband, this would help Tang Sanzang so if they tried something the golden headband would squeeze causing a lot of pain. this formed the trio that would help Tang Sanzang through the journey to the west. (I’m going to skip ahead because I would be texting this all day) when they finally get to the west the trio are finally set free and found peace, this is where black myth wukong kicks in, after wukong comes back to his family for some reason the gods of heaven started killing wukongs family, this pisses a lot wukong so he goes amd tries to fight them but loses, a few centuries later a recantation of sun wukong is born called the destined one, his job is to find all wukong artifacts to posibly revive him. This took ages to type, sorry if I was wrong in some stuff (I’m new to jurney to the west) I would appreciate if you found something wrong to tell me since I’m also learning, also sorry if my English isn’t perfect I’m still learning, I had to skip a loooot of stuff from journey to the west because the book is really really long, but I really recommend it, also I really recommend this game, I stared playing and it’s amazing.
非常不错
已经足够说明这个游戏的有关背景了。《西游记》更大的篇幅是说西天取经的故事。
good
Wukon came from the magic rock. The one rock is left in the monkey mountain, long long ago, from an ancient Goddess tried to seal the hole of the sky with the magic rocks.
In fact, Wukong was born from the natural conception of heaven and earth (son of nature), and is a fighter against authoritarianism for freedom and the protection of the people. Of course, many interesting stories and experiences also happened to him. Protecting Tang Sanzang from obtaining Buddhist scriptures in the western sky was also to educate sentient beings.
No, he obeyed Guanyin to journey to the west in search of holy scriptures to aid the Tang monk by the decree of the emperor
The ending scene of this epic intro, that scenery, is what everyone gets to see if you visit China someday! in real and actual sightseeing spot! its really that beautiful, probably even more stunning! so we welcome all westerners to visit China 🇨🇳 soon! see it for yourself guys! cheers!
Go to bed Winnie
The Cities development and landscape is beautiful. Big kudos to the hard working chinese people. But on my recent visit, you cannot escape the smell of tobacco everywhere, meaning non smoking hotel have ashtrays. I cannot walk peacefully through a nice street without blaring announcement over and over. Workers calling you left and right to eat at their establishment, solicited by many taxi drivers & hotel owner following me at night to use their service. I know they are harmless but very unpleasant to be seen as a target. Any nice place is crowded by so much people and cigarettes smell that the beauty in the background become lost. At the end of my trip I feel exhausted & stress. I was disappointed that I couldn't have peace, quiet and clean air even at beautiful place like Westlake, Hangzhou. On the good side, the monetary and transportation system is efficient. Government staff are helpful & patient. Seniors are enjoying themselves. Couples are happy, kids are outspoken and cleaning efforts can be seen, my 2cent.
lmao
what an absolute cinema
That's my childhood right there😭😭. Im not a big fan of China but I really have to thank them for creating "Journey to the West".
Really love tiny details that Black Myth Wukong put into their game referencing the original series
I amazed that no-one actually said it... the game starts with the Buddhism concept of "Reincarnation"... It is very obvious, if you know it.
I thought it started with the concept of Souls games😅 Scattered relics, all these monkeys just like the tarnish
Reincarnation isn't a Buddhist concept. It's taken from hinduism.
They gamers not myth professors. They here to enjoy and entertain.
@@jaime2581 FYI.. Mythology is part of the common/general knowledge... gamer or not. Everyone should know about it... God Of War is also based on Myth and history, like many other games: Tomb Raider, Uncharted, even the Souls games...
I love this introduction! Being Chinese American I have seen the VHS of Journey to the West movie (1970s i think) I so want to get the game! The graphics looks amazing! Detail of the armor and his appearance is so accurate. Go Son Wukong! (Aka yes Goku is Japan’s recognition to this novel character.)
Just sharing some info to make it easier to understand.
Wukong was also known as the stone monkey. He was born from a stone that has absorbed eons of divine energy.
4:40 Yes, that's the third eye (or divine eye). That gentleman is a deity (二郎神) who has bested Wukong before the story of "Journey to the West" and the black dog is his companion the divine dog (天狗）
12:18 That circlet on his head hurts him because it was a divine artifact used as a tool to bring him under control when he was tamed to follow the monk on the journey to the west. It was given to the monk by the bodhisattva Guanyin and it has a chant to tighten it around Wukong's head and cause extreme pain.
Add little bit of detail, the divine dog is actually 哮天犬, loosely translate to Howling Celestial Dog. However, in the original novel, the dog is said to be a white color beast. There seems to be some hidden backstory (including how ErLang reacts to WuKong, as well as choice of words) from the intro, that may or may not be a plan for a sequel.
@VinLim Game Science's lead has officially confirmed two more titles in the Black Myth universe are planned. Go give it a search, they already have revealed which characters those titles will be based upon.
A long story before all of this, like how he became what you see here, and how to became immortality and where he got his stick (weapon) which can hide inside his ear. How he got sealed under the mountain etc.. it's very deep meaning and many of Chinese grew up with this story and theories which make this game one of its kinds. Read the story: Monkey King - Journey to the West.
Funny he said Kage bun shin(影分身) when Wukong did his clones. The word bun shin(分身) happens to be the name of Wukong's clone jutsu in the Journey to the West novel. Not sure if Kishimoto learned it from the novel as well, but from the Naruto comics alone, he showed his familiarity to the stories.
Wukong is an icon in China for his rebelliousness, courage, intelligence and optimism, etc. Everybody knows him, I mean literally everybody. I don't even remember when was I aware of his existence in the first place, I must have watched TV shows of Journey to the West before I could talk.
He's also well known in other Asian countries as well. Mikka even said Goku, the Japanese pronunciation. In Korea, it's Oh-Gong, and in Vietnamese it's Ngộ Không. Until today, people in other Asian countries still prefer to call him their own ways, which is also a sign that he has been popular in Asia for centuries.
I feel happy to see the oriental cultures get recognized by the rest of the world. It's truly a Journey to the West.
Enjoy the game, if you feel interested in Wukong, you can watch the TV shows and movies as well. There are so many of them, personally I recommend China's first Journey to the West TV show made in 1986 and the one made in Hong Kong in 2000s.
You're gonna love this monkey!
The biggest one is Julin-Shen the Tremendous Spirit, a giant vanguard of heaven's army, obeying general Li Jin, he was the first god to challenge wukong last time, but lost almost immediately.
Wukong smashed Julin's weapon, but he escaped thanks to General Li's son, Nezha. General Li was so angry about Julin being a deserter, even wanted to have him executed, again Nezha saved him, persuaded his father to spare Julin because even he couldn't defeat Wukong. In the end, only Erlang (Jade Emperor's nephew) can fight Wukong as equal.
Yang Jian, aka Erlang, the Jade Emperor's demigod nephew, has a goddess mother and a mortal father, with a magical third-eye, keeps a hound named Xiaotian (Sky Howler). His mother was punished and sealed under Mount Tao for uniting with a lowly human, so he cleaved the entire mountain in half to save her. He is usually described as a man of gentle and honor, strange for him to act like a dick in the game's intro.
Li Nezha, third born of General Li Jin, known for slaying the dragon prince Ao Bin, son of king Ao Guang (who was robbed by Wukong, of the staff and the armor). Nezha appears as a young lad wearing crimson, wielding the Fire-Tip Lance, and can transform into three-head-six-arm. There were times that he were just as rebellious as Wukong.
Wukong, Erlang and Nezha are known as the three troublemakers of the Celestial Court. One challenged the heaven, one cleaved a mountain, and one wrought havoc in the ocean. They may listen to the Court, but they do not take commands. If the Court wants their service, say "please".
因为是黑神话
I'm proud of this mythology.
please continue this series with these same streamers reactions for the black myth wukong game
这个intro太棒了，台词衔接了很多西游记的故事背景，这给这部古老的小说做了很棒扩充，同时也留下了伏笔，比如突然出现的金箍(金箍作为对悟空的束缚在他成佛后就被拿下了)，而二郎神似乎对金箍突然出现并不吃惊😲
Bestest intro ever in game History period!!👏👏🙏🙏🫶
Nah, GoW 3 has the greatest intro man. It is just one hour of insane boss fights.😮😮
No lmfao. This is better than 1 hr of boss fights lil bro. stop overrating gow @@saivivekm.v2411
it irks me how many people complain about the voice of Wukong. He was a mischievous monkey that liked fighting, so they made him sound like one. Dont expect him to have some deep ass voice.
You can tell no one knows this story, or else everyone would have immediately said “Nimbus!!”
I just wanted to say this
one other streamer i saw even said "wait, that's the cloud from dragonball!"
jeez
@@jimlim4130if they know it’s the opposite 😂
I used to watch an old chinese TV series about wukong and his journey to the west with 3 others member. Wukong have been sealed by Buddha at the bottom of a mountain and a monk would like to release him but he has to become his disciple and ask come along journey to the west.
Is the game have different story? havent play it yet
@@greendofield game story(script or made up) is after journey to the west and yea he got sealed under the mountain for messing up with the celestial beings.
As an 80's kid this game warms my heart. Loved the TV show "Monkey Magic" and they've finally made a game covering the same mythological story.
This channel is great, I don't have to watch each of these streamers, I can watch them at the same time
So cool! And love all your reactions!
Only god of war did that seamless intro thing. Glad that they took inspiration from it. ❤❤
13:45
We gotta kill "six" bosses. NONONO...TOTALLY WRONG🤣
Asmogold after hearing about six relics-''We have to kill six bosses''
Me thinking-'' Oh you have no idea'' 😄
lol..he will found out.

4:24 Erlang Shen is one of the more well known Gods in the traditional Chinese folks religion and in Taoism. He’s often depicted as a handsome young man with the third eye that seeks Truth and accompanied by a very loyal black hunting hound. I have once been in a temple in Southeast Asia where they painted Erlang with a German Shepherd 😂. That was… unique, to say the least. Anyway, this is the thing about Chinese movie makers and game developers; Erlang Shen is supposed to be a noble, righteous, just, charismatic, charming, and powerful divine being (deified human) who’s out to destroy demons and monsters. He’s upright and also very filial (filial piety is a thing in many Asian cultures). But the movie or game writers often write him as a cocky, almost like a jerk kind of guy; evil even. Strange, because unlike the Norse gods, there are still many people who worship and pray to Erlang Shen and yeah, that includes a lot of people in China - like really a lot.
A developer that treasured their freedom more than any
I could "bend the knee, admit the wrongs" to SBI and they would destroy my game; or SBI and IGN could tarnish my game and destroy my game. No, I will ignore you all, you will turn to dust as my game becomes bestseller, GOTY and 2nd peak played in all of Steams history!
@@bobmcbob4399 Least conspiratorial gamer.
I think he’s actually try to protect his dog from the Monkey King😂 He’s a dog lover❤😊
😂😂
Nice editing work! Really pretty game!
Bunshin was written in original journey 2 the west back in tang Dynasty.. nearly thousand years before Naruto. Amazing. The guy monkey King fighting is also a famous Chinese God who can transform
oh hey that is me!
I love how Wukong talks. So defiant. He doesn't give a shit to any threats.
他是西遊記！跟唐三藏，豬八戒，唔淨！一起去取西經的…齊天大聖孫悟空👍🏻
The story of the intro is, it is far after the tourney to the west. Wakong is already one of the Above (usually we say god), but he didn’t like it. Wanted to go back to the ground and stay with family(monkeys) and take care of them. But the Aboves cannot feel safe without Wukong standing their side as he is too powerful and can be a threat, an unstable factor because there is possibility he would fight against them someday. So the lord of above sent Erlang, leading an army to bring him back or kill him and then what happened as you saw.
Actually Erlang is not a random guy. He had his own myth story. His mother was kept under a mountain, so he went though adventures to save his mother, got third eye on the way which can see far and can use as weapon. Finally he used the axe cut the mountain half and saved his mother and he became one of the aboves. Which explains why he uses axe as weapon.
“I haven’t seen that before “ god of war exists.
Black myth wukong has so many streamers play it. It surprised me
These streamers don’t seem to know or appreciate the significance of this character and story that was published in 16th century 1590 and started from the 7th century
噢，我的家乡就是孙悟空的家乡，我们这里有花果山，水帘洞，离我十几公里而已。
诶 你跟大圣是同乡也 哪里有很多悟空的景点吗？
@@VinLim 家门口还有个二郎神庙，灌江口
At 5:15, Sun Wukong references "the pig", which is the same pig you meat in Chapter 2 who tells you the craziest Lore ever. I love that small detail. Every sentence, every side-quest and every Journal entry has a story and references something that happened or will happen in the game. Amazing details.
13:15 I bet design of this old character had the inspiration from King Charles III 😂
Haha epic
“If I win, your home gets destroyed. If you win, your home gets destroyed.”
The best reacting ever😂😂
Transition between players is really clean, thank you for the video
master piece!
這遊戲真的太屌了，光是opening intro 就很震撼！ 起雞皮疙瘩的在玩
The Monkey God Wukong stands against Oppression by those in Power and Authority.
Which is just what china needs right now
Sounds pretty WOKE to me!! 👴
是的！领会到重点了❤
@qian7087 America needs it more😂
@@qian7087加沙人民需要的
For those who dont know, the head band is something buddha put on Wukong head so monk tang can use a spell to tighten it to keep him in check during journey to the west.
Wukong is really one of the God of Chinese, and HE has his own temple too. We loves to call him as Qi Tian Da Sheng🙏
You are wrong. Chinese people all know that Sun Wukong is a fictional character and he is not a Chinese god. He is not worshiped.
@@tungtung8327 ??? CCP??
@@cksong6131 stop bringing politics into a five hundred year old story.
Sun wukong is the Monkey King and the the character you use in the game is the destin one he's goal was is retrieve sun wukong
"Cool, they got him to move from the menu. Never seen that before". God Of War? Not even the latest ones. I'm talking about the early 00 ones.
Sun Wukong is the ultimate representation of:
God's: Your life is insignificant in the grand scheme of things
Wukong: Well this insignificant grain of sand is going to annoy you where it matters most
In your eyes
the movement of the clouds when fighting is very cool
The first movie I ever watched in cinemas was Forbidden Kingdom, it's so good to be back!!
0:08 Guess she's never played God of War game
Funny enough all of us, suddenly become Wukonglogist in the chat.
0:13 uh god of War. They did that too 💀
She probably never play it. Ever thought of that ?
@@psych073 yeah I did thought of that but I also thought she did so 👍
At 5:09 when Wukong laugh, the voice is the same as Ichigo’s hollow.
Unfortunately many players has no clue about Journey To the West, even Dragon Balls has many connections to the stories, the 3 eye guy supposed to have 72 transformations and WuKong has 36 transformations. The head band was from Buddha giving to Wukong’s Master so he could control him when he wasn’t obeying or to punish him
Take a break, Sun Wukong has seventy-two changes
孙悟空有72种变化，铜头铁脑，火眼金睛，吃了超多的仙丹和王母娘娘蟠桃园的桃子，他把自己的生死簿毁掉了，他永远不会死亡，在东方神话里只有佛教的如来佛祖才能战胜他。
Wukong knows 72 transformations
Bajie is the one who knows 36
No!WUkong has 72 tansformations!
I have always dreamt of playing a full fledged Monkey King game. Its been too long coming and this didn't disappoint.
Wow, Amazing, Brilliant, .....and so many more words i can utter to fill this game.
The greatest Oriental myth thats been the influence of a lot of media from the East. From DBZ, to Naruto, One Piece to Mangas/Manhua/Manhwa, anime, novel, live actions and everything in between. Old mythical oriental stories are full of tragedy, this one is not an exception but Son Wukongs characterization has transcended that stigma and became the biggest cultural character that the Orient has given the world.
Still need to complete my rigs upgrade to play this in full glory...
"I think im a bit out numbered" lol i think its the other way around 😂
Loved every part of the game in about to try to platinum it
Watching this intro just made me buy the game, so seamless and looks sick af, never really a fan of single player but this looks class
So far from what I’ve watched, excellent design and sounds. I just can’t understand the Shakespearean voicing? 😳
Chinese voice is much better
The biggest Guy is called Mighty Miracle God who is usually the vanguard of heaven army. Before him, these four warriors are Four Heavenly Kings, you can see them as guards in the front gate of budda temple.
i think that is Asura actually.
What a great game
I'm sad no one said NIMBUS when Wukong was riding the cloud at the start lol
