i do not understand these shorts that come up calling it boring... i mean a lady chinese gamer said the game is very challenging but remains proud of its release and is absolutely nonplussed with none gaming related topics -- fundamentally articles arguing about a culture that is vastly different than the west! I as an Asian do not understand gender politics myself because for me it is divisive and polarizing and dehumanizes our Asian brothers. Maybe they found it hard to beat the bosses perhaps? The Chinese are pro gamers at best because their culture appreciates delayed gratification. That allows for a lot of discipline and study (their handwriting alone is immensely challenging that a chinese kid will tell me chinese calligraphy is hard.) I know this because I worked with them and I am open mouthed with the work ethic they have even among their kids. So I do applaud the work placed into this because it bespeaks of a civilization that is 5,000 years old and grasping to retain its roots. I would like to buy this game for its artistic and historic merit to a legacy that keeps their civilization alive! ( and if some historical accuracy reports arise am sure it will be misinterpreted again by a none Chinese... oh boy!)

This game is fucking amazing. Buy it, support these devs so we can change the industry. Lets stop supporting mediocracy. Hope there is much more to come from Game Science.
I picked it up at 7:00 PM PST, right when it hit Steam, and have been sucked into it so hard for the past few days. I never pick up AAA games at launch, at full price. But I love the mythology and most media inspired by Journey to The West, so it felt like a no-brainer purchase. I love the hell out of it so far, and I'm only at the end of chapter 2!

Just saw the secret boss fight of the 2nd ending. This game makes GOW , elden ring , dark souls 3 , Sekiro and Godzilla vs Kong look like kiddy cartoons . This is not a game . This is what we gamers wanted to play for a long time . This is art people This is pure art . 1. The multiple endings 2. The atmosphere 3. The sheer spectacle 4. The ever changing gameplay Is ironic that she ask these tests, it was a chinese game that proved gaming can be revolutionized by anyone . Thank you GAME SCIENCE. ❤THEY HAVE DELIVERER ON THEIR PROMISE.
I think not having a map is a good thing. It helps you get immersed into the game and focus more on where you are versus looking up at a map in the top left part of your screen.
Totally agree, I can see why the developers did this because they trust their art direction and graphics that the players will have more fun navigate the game without a map.
Traits for success I think are super obvious; 1. Unique setting and story compared to what is currently on the market 2. Visually/ Artistically interesting 3. Single player 4. No nickel and diming players for in game purchases. Like God of War, full game up front! 5. Mechanics and difficulty curve are accessible to a wide audience. 6. IT'S FUN TO PLAY! 7. Interest and desire from consumers to support a small dev putting out the above!
Enjoying the game a lot on PS5. I could barely made myself go to sleep yesterday. And today I am very sleepy at work and want to get back to the game :)
@@dantehdp I have no problems with it at all. Playing on balance with vrr on in the console settings (not sure if the game supports this function but I am lazy to go back and forth for checking). Just reached chapter 2
The Chinese voice actor of Sun Wukong is the actor of the 1986 Sun Wukong actor himself. The little short old man is the land/provincial god. There are many of these small shrine across China and other places as well like Vietnam that I have seen before. One would see them in the countryside, roads, small towns/village/cities and etc. Yaogiau: Refer to demon and evil spirits.
False. The voice actor of Wukong in this game is Lin Qiang. The monkey king voice actors of 1986 JTTW series were Li Shihong and Li Yang. Yeah, the actor was NOT the voice of Wukong.
It’s not complicated. It’s a GAME! No super dark serious story, no micro-transactions, no forced DEI or politics. It’s simply a game made for one reason. BEING FUN!! And a lot of people really miss that 👌🏾
Because there aren’t a list of good single player games. It’s all multiplayer and mobile crap. This is just what old school console games were, just good single player games that took you to another world
Sifu, horizon zero dawn, last of us, dsys gone, devil may cry 5, god of war, black myth wukong, seikro, ghost of tsushima, rise of ronin, elden ring, legend zelda breath of wild series, roof tops an alleys, final fantasy remake, crash 4, super mario odssey, sunset overdrive, hifi rush to name few theres plenty of great single games yall just only focus on the bad
@@jashardwallington true. I`ll add some from the last 7 years: Disco Elysium, Ratchet and clank, FF rebirth, baldurs gate 3, divinity 2, Diablo 4, uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, cities skylines, civ 6, red dead 2, RE4 remake, alan wake 2
There's a reason why Monke has title as the "Victorious Fighting Buddha", and this is one of those reason. A Monke bringing victory against the evil of DEI that taint the gaming industry.
Including diversity isn’t “woke”. We’re all human beings. Why do white people get to be video games and nobody else does or else it’s “woke”. What you call “woke” is just civilization catching up to modern times. It comes down to you being a racist pos. Hope that helps
@@SaintJ92They literally have red kid as a boss fight . Red kid was the son of BULL king and WOMAN U can't get more diverse then that even if you tried
Funny how you mention exploration when i remember a time where this game was "too linear" boss fight, walkin in straight kine, boss fight. We really need to wait till we get our hands on things instead of assuming because a lot was assumed wrong about this amazing game.

As good as the game is it really shot up in popularity when it was made public that they rejected the extortion by Sweet Baby Inc. that just told everyone they only care about the experience you receive when playing and not the message
@@Remy2947Satan's latest infiltration in our entertainment industry. They push for woke messaging in games while demanding they siphon money from the companies they infiltrate. They are evil parasites.
@@Remy2947 some dirty company that helps developers destroy their games by injecting woke nonsense in to the game. They basically review a game that has been made, and make suggestions on how to make it worse. E.g, there is a pretty girl as a protagonist who is super cool. Sweet baby inc will say this woman is too pretty and needs to be fat and ugly.
I'm 45 years old and have not been this excited for a game since the 1st Gears of war. I agree that part of the excitement and success is because it's a single player game and has a compelling story.
@Chris-gw2xg also the exclusives Stellar Blade and Helldivers, plus all the old titles and seems more variety to play online But know the controller but not how, look forward to it
this game is one of the worst optimisations for ps5...ii decided to stop on chaprer 3 and wait few month for pathces...it's under 30fps on quility mode and other two modes (balance and performance) looks very very shitty. so i wait for some huge imporments or even ps5 pro... the game is fantastic. but it was clearly made for good pc's. ps5 shows it's age. more big games run like shit. final fantasy 16, star wars survivor and now wukong even old engine elden ring dlc shows huge drops in frames ...and there's a lot of new unreal engine 5 games in near future...and then gta 6 in a year...
The ultimate story of enlightenment is that you are the god you seek and you have unbelievable power within you when you seek inner peace. Its the oldest story in existence it makes a great game and novel. Now lets actually learn the lessons and stop acting so human.
One reason its doing so well is there have been no good games released in months. That adds alot of customers who are willing to try anything new that looks decent at this point.
That's why I'm not rushing through the game, we might not get another banger until next year, my obsession with playing zombies is why I'm getting BO6 this year
I remember seeing the trailer and them surprising anyone. The hype years later was so worth it and I’m happy it’s getting the love it is. Especially for the gaming developer taking a chance like this coming from mobile gaming. Taking a big chance
Let me see here. 1. Not many frame rate issues. Some but not enough to break a gamw 2. No microtransactions in order to upgrade 3. Good lore if anyone care to look into it 4. Challenging but not unfair like Souls game 5. Fun
Because the game is good, the lore made me travel to my childhood when i used to watch some chinesse movies, with the warriors fighting in the air, with powers, man, this game is too good to be truth, i'm luving every minute, every fight!!!! Keep up the good work game science!!!
This battle challenge of this game is so so so fine-tuned to perfection. This game battle is so fine-tuned that will put even the pioneer of gaming industry to shame, big names such as Dragon Dogma, The Elder Scroll (Skyrim), Witcher game franchise ! Well done Game Science from China. The west will be jealous
Ok…. I am a little more convinced and urged to buy it now….. just didn’t want to play another fighting game like this right now. But I might pick it up soon 👀
It’s not a bad game. Pretty straight forward minus the fights which are souls like bosses. I got beat up 40 times by some mini boss white Waight or something lol
I did some research on the Streisand Effect, which is one of the reasons why so many people now know about it, and the phenomenon is actually well-documented by the Chinese, who called it “wishing to cover, more conspicuous (or in Chinese, Yù gài mí zhāng).
This game was getting hyped by influencers from its first trailer, and has been shown off at basically every gaming event since then. "Streisand Effect" my ass. Are we gonna attribute Helldivers' success to the Streisand Effect too?
Everyone please be positive, humbled and patient with this game.like many games nowadays they have their issues day 1 release.but for the most part this game is fantastic.lets celebrate 4 years of waiting and now it's in our hands to play and enoy.patch updates will sure to come.as well as DLCs.Congrats to everyone who waited and believed in the game.
Gamers love it because a woke journalist is trying to cancel the game and we gamers show them who is the boss here, who is the one paying her. No need for a 9 min video
It’s fun, no micro transactions, no BS preaching or trying to force real world/modern day messages into it, just Monke on his adventure and we going along for the ride. This is some of the most fun I’ve had in a game in a while man.
The game knows what it is, dont overstep its welcome and doesnt try to innovate or change the story , its polished and its just a great game that works without being broken on launch.
What makes this game fun and amazing to gamers is also because it has elements from multiple games that people love. It’s like an all in one special that’s doesn’t seem gimmicky.
We love it because they actually put the gamer first and above all else. They genuinely want us to have the best experience possible with none of the stuff we don't like being forced into it. 10/10 monke
There's no microtransaction shop, there's no weird 3rd party launchers, they never ask for money after the initial purchase, no always online requirements. In many ways its like old school gaming.
Wish devs would realize that ridiculous boss fights with no difficulty levels is NOT what fun is. Shit is just annoying even AFTER i finally beat it. I beat certain bosses fast af and some takes a thousand tries to the point where even after i beat them, im very very irritated and just dont really wanna play anymore cuz it just completely sucked the fun out of it. I honestly dont see myself finishing it completely at this point but we'll see. But difficulty levels should be in every single game. Especially fighting ones. Thats how you lose player interest. I know I'm in the minority here and there will probably be a bunch of mommy basement key board warrior losers who do nothing else in life and think everyone should spend their entire lives getting good at video games tryna attack me for my opinion. But yeah...GoW way better. Still can be fun tho.
Thats not a game problem, thats a YOU problem...the character in this game could have been female and it would have still been the same game with the same combat and you would have said it wasnt a good game...men isnt the definition of good games.@AP90x
More people do play games but not everyone has a high end PC or a PS5 to play this specific game. And some of us have a HUGE backlog or a busy schedule to play it right this moment immediately.
This game revitalizes the beauty of a single player game ...... Great story with depth, well developed characters nearly all with interesting back stories, diverse bosses that need to figure out the right tactics to beat, excellent graphics, and amazing songs .... It's like an immersive, interactive movie..... And no politics.... What more we need??
Wait until phantom blade zero drops, Wukong has reawakened my interest in games like this, after playing Destiny since alpha. I'm loving Black Myth's gameplay.
We don't want agendas, real world politics or that BS of represente every small group of people that don't even care to play games in the first place, concord is going to be a smash hit with modern audiences and " journalists" (gets 3 k players at max )
This comment section is why gaming is so trash nowadays. Every single discussion about a game turns into some weird culture war crap that doesn’t even have to do with the game itself
Games like this are becoming few and far between. It was made with passion and that shows while playing it. I don't buy games without watching reviews, but I bought BMW and am loving every minute of it.
It’s a great game, there is no DEI, no identity politics, no virtue signalling and no social agendas. Sweet Baby Inc tried to extort money from these developers and thankfully the developers told them to eff off. We need more games like this, and less games that force DEI and social agendas down your throat.
To be fair, it’s one of chinas biggest AAA games to release world wide , china doesn’t usually get access to all triple A titles. so there is now a huge audience of Chinese players that other wise wouldn’t have played the game , Great game as well ❤
@@RunePonyRamblings What's your point? Developers don't have to give in to the woke mob and "wokeify" their game to succeed. Let's look at the sunk ship of Concord, for example. No one wants all this crap forced on them. Also, this year people are much more fed up with all the liberal garbage being forced down their throats and we're only getting stronger.
I don’t own the game yet. I was hoping for a disc version, over just a digital copy. With that being said: how has the game been as far as reliability or glitches? I’m eager to play it, but don’t want to shell out the money to play a buggy version (if that’s the case) only to have it fixed a few months down the road…The last Star Wars Jedi game is an amazing example of this.
This is by far one of the best games I’ve played doing the PS5 generation , I’m so glad it’s not pushing the woke agenda . I give this game a solid 10 .

Just played for 4 hours straight. It's challenging but just so fun. Well worth paying for.
Just saw the secret boss fight of the 2nd ending.
This game makes GOW , elden ring , dark souls 3 , Sekiro and Godzilla vs Kong look like kiddy cartoons .
This is not a game . This is what we gamers wanted to play for a long time .
This is art people
This is pure art .
1. The multiple endings
2. The atmosphere
3. The sheer spectacle
4. The ever changing gameplay
Is ironic that she ask these tests, it was a chinese game that proved gaming can be revolutionized by anyone .
Thank you GAME SCIENCE. ❤THEY HAVE DELIVERER ON THEIR PROMISE.
Dayum, I want to see it so bad. I have so much to go through.
Yes it’s way more sophisticated
I think not having a map is a good thing. It helps you get immersed into the game and focus more on where you are versus looking up at a map in the top left part of your screen.
Totally agree, I can see why the developers did this because they trust their art direction and graphics that the players will have more fun navigate the game without a map.
Traits for success I think are super obvious;
1. Unique setting and story compared to what is currently on the market
2. Visually/ Artistically interesting
3. Single player
4. No nickel and diming players for in game purchases. Like God of War, full game up front!
5. Mechanics and difficulty curve are accessible to a wide audience.
6. IT'S FUN TO PLAY!
7. Interest and desire from consumers to support a small dev putting out the above!
Enjoying the game a lot on PS5. I could barely made myself go to sleep yesterday. And today I am very sleepy at work and want to get back to the game :)
What did your boss think about you? "This guy must've been playing Wukong for a whole night. Dam! I am still on chapter 2" :-)
Who cares you are on a PS5
@@RedWolfenstein you, obviously
I am still on the fence of buying it for my ps5 too. How does it run so far?
@@dantehdp I have no problems with it at all. Playing on balance with vrr on in the console settings (not sure if the game supports this function but I am lazy to go back and forth for checking).
Just reached chapter 2
The Chinese voice actor of Sun Wukong is the actor of the 1986 Sun Wukong actor himself.
The little short old man is the land/provincial god. There are many of these small shrine across China and other places as well like Vietnam that I have seen before. One would see them in the countryside, roads, small towns/village/cities and etc.
Yaogiau: Refer to demon and evil spirits.
False. The voice actor of Wukong in this game is Lin Qiang. The monkey king voice actors of 1986 JTTW series were Li Shihong and Li Yang. Yeah, the actor was NOT the voice of Wukong.
It was once a myth and now it's on its way to becoming a legend!
love that!
It’s not complicated. It’s a GAME! No super dark serious story, no micro-transactions, no forced DEI or politics. It’s simply a game made for one reason. BEING FUN!! And a lot of people really miss that 👌🏾
“Some people want a good experience instead of feeling like a statistic” any gamer with a brain wants a good/fun experience
Because there aren’t a list of good single player games. It’s all multiplayer and mobile crap. This is just what old school console games were, just good single player games that took you to another world
Sifu, horizon zero dawn, last of us, dsys gone, devil may cry 5, god of war, black myth wukong, seikro, ghost of tsushima, rise of ronin, elden ring, legend zelda breath of wild series, roof tops an alleys, final fantasy remake, crash 4, super mario odssey, sunset overdrive, hifi rush to name few theres plenty of great single games yall just only focus on the bad
@@jashardwallington true. I`ll add some from the last 7 years:
Disco Elysium, Ratchet and clank, FF rebirth, baldurs gate 3, divinity 2, Diablo 4, uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection, cities skylines, civ 6, red dead 2, RE4 remake, alan wake 2
Stellar Blade…Don’t forget Stellar Blade
That’s why I love the Souls games (usually offline, but not always), and games like Cyberpunk and Skyrim. Just good ol escapism and pure fun
There are literally tons of amazing single player games. Like what? Lol PS been killing shit on the solo games. You sound like you come from Xbox lol
There's a reason why Monke has title as the "Victorious Fighting Buddha", and this is one of those reason. A Monke bringing victory against the evil of DEI that taint the gaming industry.
No micro transactions makes me feel like a kid again. Even tho it isn’t on disc as damn close
No woke, no live service, no microtransaction, no diversity-for-modern-audience bullshit. Just pure fun. That's why.
Including diversity isn’t “woke”. We’re all human beings. Why do white people get to be video games and nobody else does or else it’s “woke”. What you call “woke” is just civilization catching up to modern times. It comes down to you being a racist pos. Hope that helps
@@SaintJ92They literally have red kid as a boss fight . Red kid was the son of BULL king and WOMAN
U can't get more diverse then that even if you tried
lawl no because daddy ccp finnally let its citizens buy a game lawl woke propaganda lol you mean hollywood in general lol people are mental giants
It's pure rage for me
This statement is literally the only thing you need to know, why this game's popular, without even having to watch the vid.
Because the game delivered what was promised and it is REALLY GOOD.
Funny how you mention exploration when i remember a time where this game was "too linear" boss fight, walkin in straight kine, boss fight. We really need to wait till we get our hands on things instead of assuming because a lot was assumed wrong about this amazing game.
Because it's a video game.
a pure video game.
Reject Sweet Baby Inc and Gamers will LOVE you, plain and simple.
Is this "Seet Baby" in the room with us now?
@@RunePonyRamblings Sadly they don't have to be in the room to ruin it for everyone else.
@@mza5949 they don't ruin anything, you need to take a break from the internet and go outside.

The game is incredible bro
@@ZakiHaider-y9oit's great but don't go that far lol
Thanks. I hope you love it
As good as the game is it really shot up in popularity when it was made public that they rejected the extortion by Sweet Baby Inc. that just told everyone they only care about the experience you receive when playing and not the message
Who is Sweet Baby Inc?
@@Remy2947Satan's latest infiltration in our entertainment industry. They push for woke messaging in games while demanding they siphon money from the companies they infiltrate. They are evil parasites.
@@Remy2947 some dirty company that helps developers destroy their games by injecting woke nonsense in to the game.
They basically review a game that has been made, and make suggestions on how to make it worse.
E.g, there is a pretty girl as a protagonist who is super cool.
Sweet baby inc will say this woman is too pretty and needs to be fat and ugly.
@@Remy2947 woke company forcing devs to add diverse stuff or else they will cancel ur game
@@Remy2947Consultation firm extorting game developers for money with the intention to make their games an objective failure in every way.
this sealed the deal, thank you!
Congratulations to Game Science for this master piece. This brings back those nostalgic moments from the 80s series Monkey Magic.
I'm 45 years old and have not been this excited for a game since the 1st Gears of war. I agree that part of the excitement and success is because it's a single player game and has a compelling story.
Wanted a PS5 for a while and while other games kinda sold it for me, this is the game that felt I should purchase a PS5
That's a fact
You won‘t regret it. The Ps5 is worth it for the controller alone. The duel sense on most games makes it the most fun controller of all time for me
@Chris-gw2xg also the exclusives Stellar Blade and Helldivers, plus all the old titles and seems more variety to play online
But know the controller but not how, look forward to it
this game is one of the worst optimisations for ps5...ii decided to stop on chaprer 3 and wait few month for pathces...it's under 30fps on quility mode and other two modes (balance and performance) looks very very shitty. so i wait for some huge imporments or even ps5 pro... the game is fantastic. but it was clearly made for good pc's.
ps5 shows it's age. more big games run like shit. final fantasy 16, star wars survivor and now wukong even old engine elden ring dlc shows huge drops in frames ...and there's a lot of new unreal engine 5 games in near future...and then gta 6 in a year...
@@chanwooksookthis one has some frame drops but ff16 ran great. Don't know how you had all these problems. Maybe get a good ssd
The ultimate story of enlightenment is that you are the god you seek and you have unbelievable power within you when you seek inner peace. Its the oldest story in existence it makes a great game and novel. Now lets actually learn the lessons and stop acting so human.
Its grabbed me because it feels like I've played this before. It feels like a nostalgic PS2 game in the best way
One reason its doing so well is there have been no good games released in months. That adds alot of customers who are willing to try anything new that looks decent at this point.
That's why I'm not rushing through the game, we might not get another banger until next year, my obsession with playing zombies is why I'm getting BO6 this year
Its the first time ever that People get to experience Dank Souls Monke edition. And since humans are very simular to Monke, we ofc love Monke games.
I remember seeing the trailer and them surprising anyone. The hype years later was so worth it and I’m happy it’s getting the love it is. Especially for the gaming developer taking a chance like this coming from mobile gaming. Taking a big chance
I was on the fence about buying this because I was worried it was too much of a Boss Rush, but the game is fucking fabulous thank God I got it anyway.
why millions love black myth wukong?
its easy, cus its a game made for gamers and not by devs to use the game to push some agenda
Hell yeah
Politics politics. Get a life
This game has nothing to do with your political view
@@Ceteprime"Get a life" you should follow ur own advice cuz you clearly don't have one lmao
@@dragonandavatarfan8865Define "agenda". I guarantee you have no idea what that word means.
3:40 true, but we are seriously lacking in the amount of Chinese fantasy/mythology games
Let me see here.
1. Not many frame rate issues. Some but not enough to break a gamw
2. No microtransactions in order to upgrade
3. Good lore if anyone care to look into it
4. Challenging but not unfair like Souls game
5. Fun
It's a game made for purely gamers and old school way. No politics no nothing, just us gamers and our world!
Because the game is good, the lore made me travel to my childhood when i used to watch some chinesse movies, with the warriors fighting in the air, with powers, man, this game is too good to be truth, i'm luving every minute, every fight!!!!
Keep up the good work game science!!!
Can't buy a full price game when you don't get a physical copy.
No DEI, no microtransactions. It's a guaranteed fan favorite.
This battle challenge of this game is so so so fine-tuned to perfection. This game battle is so fine-tuned that will put even the pioneer of gaming industry to shame, big names such as Dragon Dogma, The Elder Scroll (Skyrim), Witcher game franchise !
Well done Game Science from China. The west will be jealous
This game is made with so much love and passion. And yes I love wukong since i was a child. Wukong is a Hero.
We don’t. I’m still playing stellar blade
It lived up to the hype. Rare in these days
Ok…. I am a little more convinced and urged to buy it now….. just didn’t want to play another fighting game like this right now. But I might pick it up soon 👀
It’s not a bad game. Pretty straight forward minus the fights which are souls like bosses. I got beat up 40 times by some mini boss white Waight or something lol
Because the game is lovable, not those frigging microtransaction games that feep like we getting robbed
SBI and DEI not detected. Take my money!
You keep using those words... I do not think they mean what you think they mean...
Im really enjoying it. I even stream it FIGHTING BOSSES WITH ONE ARM BEHIND MY BACK! such a fun game
I did some research on the Streisand Effect, which is one of the reasons why so many people now know about it, and the phenomenon is actually well-documented by the Chinese, who called it “wishing to cover, more conspicuous (or in Chinese, Yù gài mí zhāng).
This game was getting hyped by influencers from its first trailer, and has been shown off at basically every gaming event since then. "Streisand Effect" my ass. Are we gonna attribute Helldivers' success to the Streisand Effect too?
Everyone please be positive, humbled and patient with this game.like many games nowadays they have their issues day 1 release.but for the most part this game is fantastic.lets celebrate 4 years of waiting and now it's in our hands to play and enoy.patch updates will sure to come.as well as DLCs.Congrats to everyone who waited and believed in the game.
Gamers love it because a woke journalist is trying to cancel the game and we gamers show them who is the boss here, who is the one paying her. No need for a 9 min video
Literally none of what you said is true. Go take a shower.
It is a good game with no strings attached
No Sweet Baby bullshit.
It’s fun, no micro transactions, no BS preaching or trying to force real world/modern day messages into it, just Monke on his adventure and we going along for the ride. This is some of the most fun I’ve had in a game in a while man.
Because it's a great game, plain & simple!
The game knows what it is, dont overstep its welcome and doesnt try to innovate or change the story , its polished and its just a great game that works without being broken on launch.
What makes this game fun and amazing to gamers is also because it has elements from multiple games that people love. It’s like an all in one special that’s doesn’t seem gimmicky.
We love it because they actually put the gamer first and above all else. They genuinely want us to have the best experience possible with none of the stuff we don't like being forced into it. 10/10 monke
There's no microtransaction shop, there's no weird 3rd party launchers, they never ask for money after the initial purchase, no always online requirements. In many ways its like old school gaming.
Incredible and unique storytelling. Wasn’t expecting this at all.
Wish devs would realize that ridiculous boss fights with no difficulty levels is NOT what fun is. Shit is just annoying even AFTER i finally beat it. I beat certain bosses fast af and some takes a thousand tries to the point where even after i beat them, im very very irritated and just dont really wanna play anymore cuz it just completely sucked the fun out of it. I honestly dont see myself finishing it completely at this point but we'll see. But difficulty levels should be in every single game. Especially fighting ones. Thats how you lose player interest. I know I'm in the minority here and there will probably be a bunch of mommy basement key board warrior losers who do nothing else in life and think everyone should spend their entire lives getting good at video games tryna attack me for my opinion. But yeah...GoW way better. Still can be fun tho.
Why : No politics , NO GAY agenda , just a game JUST A GAME , about a magical monkey with a stick , we are not complicated so stop making it so.
The giga chads have spoken.
No more LBTZQRTU shit in our games.
And even more so, no playing as mary-f’cking-jane😂
THIS!!! Well said!
INCEL ALERT 🚨
@@patriotsedge6730 INCEL ALERT 🚨
Thats not a game problem, thats a YOU problem...the character in this game could have been female and it would have still been the same game with the same combat and you would have said it wasnt a good game...men isnt the definition of good games.@AP90x
Kratos has a contender
I mean 4.5 million copies sold in 24 hours is impressive, but it’s only 0.05% of earths population I would assume more people played video games
More people do play games but not everyone has a high end PC or a PS5 to play this specific game. And some of us have a HUGE backlog or a busy schedule to play it right this moment immediately.
its not the weekend yet
90% of the games population drops off coinciding with night in China. It’s happened on all 3 (chinese) nights since it’s release
Yeah that actually makes a ton of sense, also guessing many people are willing to wait for discount.
This game revitalizes the beauty of a single player game ...... Great story with depth, well developed characters nearly all with interesting back stories, diverse bosses that need to figure out the right tactics to beat, excellent graphics, and amazing songs .... It's like an immersive, interactive movie..... And no politics.... What more we need??
Reject games urinalists
Return to monke
Unironically quoting the fucking Quartering
Wait until phantom blade zero drops, Wukong has reawakened my interest in games like this, after playing Destiny since alpha. I'm loving Black Myth's gameplay.
It’s not infected with Sweet Baby Inc’s poison.
Touch grass
No matter what flaw you found in this game, the fun is splendid. I can play this game all day.
We don't want agendas, real world politics or that BS of represente every small group of people that don't even care to play games in the first place, concord is going to be a smash hit with modern audiences and " journalists" (gets 3 k players at max )
Ok snowflake
I haven't played the game or planning to play the game. Any developers release complete games with no micro transactions get my full support.
Its a complete game with no bullshit transactions or any kind of BS.
This comment section is why gaming is so trash nowadays. Every single discussion about a game turns into some weird culture war crap that doesn’t even have to do with the game itself
The real reason why this game is good: AAA graphics that feels 2024, responsive gameplay, no microtransactions, no day one DLC etc.
Games like this are becoming few and far between. It was made with passion and that shows while playing it. I don't buy games without watching reviews, but I bought BMW and am loving every minute of it.
It’s a great game, there is no DEI, no identity politics, no virtue signalling and no social agendas. Sweet Baby Inc tried to extort money from these developers and thankfully the developers told them to eff off. We need more games like this, and less games that force DEI and social agendas down your throat.
You going need dei because we got lot of different race living in USA 🇺🇸
To be fair, it’s one of chinas biggest AAA games to release world wide , china doesn’t usually get access to all triple A titles. so there is now a huge audience of Chinese players that other wise wouldn’t have played the game , Great game as well ❤
Because isn't WAKE
Can’t even beat the first boss yet . Can feel my fingers burning.🥵
Don't go woke, don't go broke.
Baldur's Gate 3 was the biggest hit of last year
@@RunePonyRamblings What's your point? Developers don't have to give in to the woke mob and "wokeify" their game to succeed. Let's look at the sunk ship of Concord, for example. No one wants all this crap forced on them. Also, this year people are much more fed up with all the liberal garbage being forced down their throats and we're only getting stronger.
hopefully the studio may one day make perfect world game
It's simple. It's DEI free and has no lesbian plot line in it
I don’t own the game yet. I was hoping for a disc version, over just a digital copy. With that being said: how has the game been as far as reliability or glitches? I’m eager to play it, but don’t want to shell out the money to play a buggy version (if that’s the case) only to have it fixed a few months down the road…The last Star Wars Jedi game is an amazing example of this.
Because it's a strait up awesome video game without any bullshit that a lot of western companies shove into there games.
Simple, this year we doesn't have great games, so a average well made game is treated as a Best seller. Just wait Dbz Sparking zero comes.
This is by far one of the best games I’ve played doing the PS5 generation , I’m so glad it’s not pushing the woke agenda . I give this game a solid 10 .
Define "woke agenda"
The fact these guys made almost half a billion in 24 hrs on their first aaa launch speaks for itself
The main reason I bought this game
It has standard and doesn't bow to Sweet baby or wokness
These are exceptionally pathetic reasons to buy a video game.
I usually just buy them to play them.
@@joshuaDstarks yeah but people can spend their money how they want.
But what does that tell you when gamers will buy a game mainly for that reason.
What does that say about how gamers feel about this woke horse shite?
People are fed up.
@@alm31It says that an extremely small contingent of terminally online weirdos are extremely easy to manipulate by grifters.drifters.
"Woke" games still sell just fine. Y'all don't represent anything but your pathetic selves.
I’ve been saying that people would be interested in different folk lore apart from Greco/Roman for the longest. They did that with love & ambition on this one.
