Same. I started with Chinese, but had trouble reading the subtitles. White on white with only minor back-shadow is nearly impossible for my old eyes. Thankfully the English dub is just as good... so far. I'm in chapter 2. Struggling like a single parent with seven kids against this God damn wind Sage. I'm currently engaged in a certain side quest for a better weapon.
I always like playing native language as much as I can with games set in different places, it's just makes more sense to me that way. Like French in Assassin's Creed Unity.
The tone is more pronounced in native language, even when you don't understand or read the subtitles. English dub is just bland because the tone is minimal or gone. Sounds like google talking, even in anime
JttW even though is its own mythology, it is not a religion nor does it have gods that its readers pray to. Rather, it is a fanfiction that contains the buddhist doctrine as its main theme, as do most other works of fiction that uses its native mythology and or other kinds, to make the work feel grandiose. A similar example of this can be used on Dracula as he was derived from an historical figure as it is for tripitaka, mystified to demonic proportions and require the Christian mythology as a means of defeating the vampire Just personally speaking as a chinese, i doubt that would be an adequate mythology to be incorporated as a legitimate pantheon to represent china
@@felfuri2246it would just be a cool crossover game, (or probably DLC most likely) between two god killers. Asura would also be cool, because that's based in Hinduism which Buddhism is derived from
I don’t understand Chinese but I did grow up watching a lot of Chinese media, the classic TV series of Journey to the West is one of them. Therefore I can appreciate Chinese voice with English text.
@@lucky889s9true, its always that English localization that do less than original language- let be Korean, Japanese, or Chinese in their entertainment product

Thank you for putting this up! Brings back memories of watching Journey to the West. The CN dub just makes so much more sense. There's nuances that only CN can capture, especially in terms of the words used in the language, which is either hard translate over to EN, or entirely lost in translation. The EN dub does manage to capture some of that essence, but it's different man. This is why I like consuming media in its original audio dub when possible.
Totally agree. Any games in their original voices captures the emotions, mood and atmosphere the most. Dubs from other languages will always lose something. Reminds me of Stellar Blade, Korean voices were amazing, but English dub is hit or miss.
Yup, the original dub is so so much better: more natural, better syncing and most of all, immersive. Just like watching animes, I prefer native dub with English subtitles. It makes the story and character dialogues more sense and with better flow to it. Watching the English dub feels like how google translates mandarin to English, I couldn't make any sense of it.
I am watching this for two reasons: •The English dub sounds terrible •It feels right to watch it in Chinese Dub, the origin Ok it's not terrible but hearing how Wukong speaks I feel the English voice actor is being way too dramatic, ruins the entire mood really
Oh yes, and there is a reason behind that taunt. Sun had already achieved several tiers of immortality. And he gained it by just being his mischievous self. But on his Journey with the Monk, he ran into sooooo many people and monsters that ran themselves ragged for the opportunity. Including himself, in a way. Erlang is just a jealous hater though.
They're tv/cinema voice actors who dub a lot of live action so it's a different approach and higher standard of quality and training than a lot of the Chinese dubs for anime style video games. I've heard Chinese voice acting (not dubbing) is much younger and less organized and respected than japanese ones, so it feels more amateur kinda like eng anime dubs
Not to cause offense in any way here, but the game was originally voiced in Chinese. It’s English that is the Dub and any other languages there after. I advise have one play through in English and your second or third play through in the original Chinese. You can see the lip sync was meant for the Original Chinese language. Not that it matters, I find it awesome that they had talented Voice actors and actresses for multiple audiences; And it is awesome to see more games/developers become more confident to use more local languages. Anyway, I agree with you. The game is a masterpiece.
i still dont know why the bracelet on his head suddenly appeared out of nowhere. I know from the lore he got it to keep him in check, but in this context it just appeared with no context.
Probably story-gated like how Nier’s story only makes sense after the second and third playthroughs on why certain things occur. But kinda rare to see this type of story element telling outside of Nier series so agreed on the circlet randomness. Maybe Jade emperor was watching thru his mirror/glass fountain thingy up in the Celestial court and was like, “ayo this monke too op lemme add some hindrance lol”
No, it is dubbing because this is a videogame and the voice lines are not performed live by actors, but are recorded for fictional characters. Dubbing means "to record voice lines in a studio". It has nothing to do with language.
In the Chinese dub Wukong actually refers to Yang Jian as "little nephew", this is because Wukong has the self-styled title of "great sage equal to heaven" and considers himself equal to the Jade Emperor, and Jade Emperor is in fact Yang Jian's uncle. It's also lore accurate since in JttW Wukong would often insult other yaoguai by acting as their elder. When he fought the Black Bear for example he would insult him by calling him his son when Black Bear called for timeout for lunch.
Man i've been studying Mandarin for over a year and listening to this makes me lose motivation lol. Can only understand certain words and sometimes a sentence if lucky. Butbut keep it up and I will learn eventually.
This game has a lot of non conversational Chinese (traditional and poetic speech) so don't feel bad for not understanding, it's like a non native English speaker trying to understand a show that uses old timey mannerisms and figures of speech
With this this game is a 10/10 for me. The only thing bothered me in dub is the totally different mouth movement (which is understandable since its not an american made game) . But with this its perfect.
That sounds so awesome. That’s how it’s supposed to be in Chinese. I love Chinese history. THE QIN is my favorite story and favorite dynasty.💯 Wu Kong is the greatest game ever made. Nothing else can compete with it. it’s a little hard, but it’s awesome.
I wonder where all the complainers are about the pitch of the english dubs voice are when you realize the original chinese dub has him in a whimsical high voice too
I am learning Chinese language, so when I heard this game has two subtitles, I would like to buy it too. So is that true? This video only show one subtitle.
There are English and Chinese subtitles, the downside is the English sub doesn't capture the nuances and poetic flow of the Chinese voiceover, but it gets the jist
@@wrenegade6283 that's ok, it's because I can't listen and read chinese language. If there's chinese dub, and then they're showing two subtitles, it's helpful for me.
Seriously… dub is short form for double or a second soundtrack over the original. You cannot call it Chinese dub because Chinese is the original soundtrack.
Well, I know nothing about the language, but it sounds good and most importantly its lip synched to the chinese dub, not the english dub, and that makes a world of difference watching it, so definitely going to go with the chinese audio.
Did…did people just realize this? I always play games in their native language: I played Sekiro in Japanese, Wo Long in Chinese and this in Chinese. Any game that’s made by a non-Western dev I play in their language to see how the game is ACTUALLY meant to be presented to you (didn’t do it with Fromsoftware’s other games because they were set in like an European-ish setting). Any game is best in its native language setting. Which is why I always select default so I can see how the game is supposed to be presented to you.
it would be too much work to translate the nuances so they simplified a TON in the English dub and subsequently the subs. as a Chinese speaker its actually pretty upsetting how much is lost in the translation
The amount of people that would rather watch offputting lip syncing just so they can get mediocre English voice acting is hilarious. This is how the game was meant to be enjoyed.
I didn't see it! I'm sorry man. Usually what happens is I copy details from previous videos similar to this. Last one I did with a dub was Prince of Persia, so I forgot to edit that out . My bad. I acknowledge my error but I can't correct that now because the algorithm will re-evaluate the video and tank is performance.
有些东西是翻译不出来的，文化底蕴没法用文字解释，用一篇文章来描述一杯茶的味道，还不如喝一口😅 alright, what I mean is the culture difference is something you can't translate in english, it's something like no matter how you describe the teast of tea, you still don't have the real feeling unless you drink it by yourself. just enjoy it my friend. peace😊✌️
While I think the English dub was commendable, it lacked some nuances and understanding of the character. While Sun Wukong is rebellious and mischievous, he shouldn't sound like a villain. I think they went a little too close to The Joker for my liking there.

The tone is more pronounced in native language, even when you don't understand or read the subtitles. English dub is just bland because the tone is minimal or gone. Sounds like google talking, even in anime
English dub: I’m gonna kill you to avenge my kind
Chinese: MONKE BASH YOU WITH ONE BRAINCELL, LIFE GUD
Wukong probably should journey a little bit further West, beyond India... to meet this friend, Kratos; he knows a little bit about killing gods :P
