They said in an interview when they first started creating the game, there were no digital assets in the market pertaining to Chinese temples for UE5. So they literally went around all over China scanning historical temples, I believe the count was well over 60 across the whole country. So when you see a visually stunning temple (especially in chapter 3) with an absurd amount of details. That’s because it’s straight out of a historical site. Heck even the engravings can be scanned and found in scriptures and buddhist hymns. That is why it has such an insane amount of support from Chinese players, because they recognize the effort Game Science put into details and historical correctness.
Spoiler free, don't forget to play the game all over again differently, some Chinese gamers already found different endings which are even more epic than the start of the game.
28:27 This is not a dragon, only four toes, it can only be a dragon（蛟）. Only by continuing to practice and going through the heavenly tribulation can one transform into a true dragon with five toes.
@@jrwkd6114走蛟（going the heavenly tribulation) happens once every several years here in my home town near tai hu lake , usually the sunny summer day turns to really dark, coming with the crazy storm and thunder. Terrifying
Let these bad days make you stronger. So when another bad day comes, you know that better days are ahead. In whatever it is, you got this bro! God bless
After I learned about "Journey to the West," I really came to appreciate the story. It's full of philosophy and satire. The monk Tang Sanzang is on a quest to get sacred scriptures from the West, and Wukong is there to help him. They face 81 trials along the way, each one involving different Yaoguai. What's ironic is that most of these Yaoguai are actually pets of heavenly beings, let loose because of poor management in Heaven. These Yaoguai have powerful backers, so whenever Wukong tries to defeat them, their divine masters show up to save them. On the other hand, Yaoguai without any connections or background just die with no one coming to their rescue.
As a Chinese, it is really high that someone is willing to study this classic among the four famous novels. However, before a social novel and satirical novel in the literary sense, the reason why he is widely known is mainly because of the countless interesting stories on paper and the witty plot of the four masters and apprentices. This novel contains a lot of worldly wisdom, principles of dealing with people and satire on the feudal society at that time. However, it was influenced by the times at that time. Just like many western fairy tales also have a satirical and dark side, but the reason why these classics are sung is just because they are naive and romantic enough, isn't it😁
There will be tourism to China coming out of the senes in the game. A total of about 40 actual locations in China were captured, 27 of them in Shanxi Province alone. After the game, seeing these location with familiar temples, statutes, mountains, will be quite epic. At the beginning of this chapter where there are various statutes lining the path - in Hangzhou, there is a mount called Feilai Feng (Flying Mount), where the paths are literally lined with statutes hundreds or thousands of years old, just like this, and next to the mount, sits the famous Jingan Temple, which also shows up in a chapter.
I loved that you shared the part about your great grandfather being from China. That’s literally like only two generations away. Super cool to see how we are so connected in different ways. I love watching your game plays so much more than the games themselves. You’re such an inspiration of how genuine you are as a human being 🔥
The game embodies many familiar details of the small stories in Journey to the West, such as the story in Chapter 3 where Goku transforms into a Buddha statue to play with monsters, always smiling, Maitreya Buddha, who is in charge of the future, transforms into an old man selling watermelons, and transforms Goku into a watermelon to lure the yellow rat wolf spirit (HUANGMEI) into eating Goku, entering his belly to subdue him, and so on. There are a large number of scenes that make Chinese people feel warm, because that is a classic story that we loved very much when we were toddlers. Although there are some character images and falsified story content, it gives a new feeling. Especially the guy Zhu Bajie, whose image and love story are quite different from the original book, but the simple, stupid and straightforward character is still so pleasing, and he always makes Chinese laugh when mentioned
If it´s unclear who Zhu Bajie is, he´s the dude stuck between the huge cymbals. One of Sun Wukongs ( Son Goku) travel companions in the epos mentioned (good reading). He is described looking like a wild boar in the books, but ah, a bit bigger if I remember right.
Just say Wukong.. Stop misleading people with Goku.. When you say Goku, people will think of DBZ. Does this look like DBZ to you? Please respect the original.
@@seafood_hater Son Goku is the japanese name of Sun Wukong. "Journey to the west" was written about 500 years ago so the name comes from Wukong. Goku in DBZ is, as far as I know, based on Wukong (hence his name - Goku). I am sorry for any misunderstandings. But, as you said. Respect the original.
After encountering a reckless driver who nearly caused me to crash into a fire truck 😞I decided to park since I’m on my break from work, and watching you play this game is really helping me feel better 😊.
Just notice at 4:30 tips , before you pick up that green light your health was low use your healing drink before you pick up the green light, because that give you will and also refill little bit your healing drinks
Yay I've been waiting for the next video 🙌🏻 Such a refreshing new game, its just so cool. Love watching you Hollow, you really tie the whole thing together. Awesome game and awesome youtuber 💜 been watching you everyday for years. You either play a game in about to play or a game i won't but still want to watch. Thanks Hollow 😊
@@HollowPoiint Oh absolutely that pagoda part was indeed hella excruciating, the break you took was so well deserved. Felt like they did it on purpose just to annoy us…Fingers crossed its only gonna get better, cant wait for the next upload!
Let’s goo ! I been watching your channel since 2019 day 1 of my tragic car accident that left me paralyzed for 5 years (in October). You really helped me through this journey and have been entertaining. Thank you for your dedication to entertaining me and including us in your gaming experience 🦾💯
Hollow. You're actually quite good gamer in general man. I just noticed these games are not easy to play. And you have beat some bosses pretty quick. Mad respect.
My grandfather was from Suriname but he was fully Chinese. I never met him. When you started about your own family I felt that. Really want to get this game. The only games I bought the past few years were fighting games. One thing I would have liked is your attacks draining stamina, just to increase the difficulty.
That grumpy pig at the end is Zhu bajie, one of wukong's homies. He used to be a high marshall in heaven until he was caught flirting with the moon goddess Chang'e, after that he was banished to the mortal realm to and somehow got turned into a pig-demon for his lust for young women and eating people. He was then found by Wukong and the great monk and was given a chance to repent for his past sins by accompanying then through the journey to the west, protecting the monk, he's not as powerful as Wukong but he kicks demon ass.
Randomly remembered your name and looked it up and boom you just dropped a video. I wanna say thank you bro I've been on youtube for a long time and I watched your BO3 Videos all the time. You were one of the catalyst to me doing youtube so I thank you for being one of the Pillars to me making content!
Love the playthrough Hollow!!! I figured something out that may be helpful to you in the future. When picking the green mana flames it refills the gourd a little (I think those equal one use). So, if you see those, you can do 1 heal then grab the flames, it will refill what you just used. Not sure if you figured this out for future videos but if not, hope this helps. Keep it up and hope to see another video this evening!!!
2:52 i remember you mentioned that your great grandfather was from china, now that you repeat it, it's very interesting, i have south chinese roots but I don't know much about my culture either but it's cool to learn something about it
Man! This episode was heavy and entertaining. Like Hollow said, it never fails to amaze me. Big shoutout to Hollow for doing it for 4 or 5 hours and delivering us a refined version. Well done, sir! We are Loving IT.
Dude I remember watching this dude back in my high school days, I haven’t watched him since my senior year back in 2021, much love hope you’re doing good Hollowpoiint🫡🙏❤️
what's crazy is that all the temples and statues actually exist, I remember seeing them so many years ago when traveling to China, makes me wanna go back visit it again.
Yes finally 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 … I will be getting this game soon on ps5 and I wait, but I have to say this stand on your staff for those ground attacks. One thing that I have learned from this guy and watching play is it patience is a virtue and time attacks are crucial.
I usually don’t watch play throughs before I play the game but I’ve done with with Hollow cause his videos are so awesome and the games as well! GOW and going to be Wucong
@Hollow Change your Gourd in the inventory. there's another type with gives you full health restore if you drink from it when the gourd is full. it comes in clutch
The original Journey to West also features a looooot of real places in China such as Mount Huaguo. The surprise and genuine excitement I feel whenever I realize the locations from my childhood stories are real is so fun! Such as the temple that was a major plot point in White Snake. It makes you feel like the stories are real. The shock I felt when I realized all the wushu sects in old dramas are real existing sects.

The outro was insane cool 👌👌

Hey Hollow big fan… have you ever considered doing a “my setup” video? Would love to know what monitor you run, pc setup, etc.
Yes finally 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 … I will be getting this game soon on ps5 and I wait, but I have to say this stand on your staff for those ground attacks. One thing that I have learned from this guy and watching play is it patience is a virtue and time attacks are crucial.
Hey I really like your work Hollow, and I’m your new fan🎉
Can’t wait to see the Yellow-brow section..
I’m not saying I enjoy seeing Hollow stress out, but you know.. 😅
Perfect way to end the night, sitting back, relaxing and doing this!!
