Reality is that China and Korea and Japan know they can conquer the gaming market easily with almost no competition since they don't focus on DEI and rather focus on story and gameplay rather than DEI.
Not Japan though. They've lost the sauce. Bandai Namco won't keep their games alive for more than 2 years on average. Shit in quality. I'd still expect good ones from smaller companies like for visual novela. But for major games? Pokemon is barely above slop for the past decade. Economy is downward, fast. Labor cost is the highest among the 3 East Asian countries. Wukong is worth 70M because chinese devs and artists have been godlike. Bilibili is filled with high quality craftsmanship from portfolio shows of vids. And the cost of living is artificially kept low by the government.

I love people calling out Asmon Nitpicking on an alpha game. Thats literally why its there. He has a giant platform, can point out shit that is annoying to him, and perhaps devs can see it and be like, oh shit i guess we gotta nail those details down. ... If they want a quality product anyways.
You are funny. These eastern developers don't even know who Asmon is XD. You are acting as if he has 200 million fans in China XD. The majority of the population is completely unaware of him.
@@PCgamerChannel he doesn't need 200 million fans in China. It's a fact that many game developers have watched or do watch Asmons streams or his RUclips channel.
@@PCgamerChannel I am not acting as if he has 200 million fans in china. Anyone looking on youtube for "Ballads of Anatara" in a few days will see Asmons video. Which I'm sure the dev team will get notified of some of these things pretty quickly if they have a decent social media manager. Any feedback, at that stage of development, is better than nothing. The gaming world as a whole is pretty small, and Asmon has a tendency to put videos up on Trending in Gaming a lot, so it isn't a stretch to think the devs could see it. Not my fault you lack the insight into how any of this works.
@@PCgamerChannel The whole point of open alphas and betas is to hear feedback. If you think they aren't going to see Asmon be one of the first names that pop up when they look up their own game to see what people think about what they were shown, you're silly. He's one of the biggest streamers on twitch, has a large following on YT, and has a niche for these kinds of games specifically. It'd be bizarre to release an alpha preview for feedback, and then manage to not see the guy with the largest following reacting to your game, he'd be top of the search results lol. He's the one who brings the most attention to this stuff. You don't need all your fans to be in your country when you're making a GLOBAL product, you obviously don't pay attention to only your own neighborhood when you're GLOBALLY making a product, not when a massive portion of your sales would be in the West anyway. They pay attention to other cultures and what people think, that's why they make good games over there and we got Concord over here 💀
Did the West make any Souls-likes recently? From Europe we have Soulframe I think? I don't know if that can be classified as a Souls-like though. Plus if we look at the combat animations, it needs A LOT of polish.
Uh…no. West: Baldur’s Gate 3, arguable contender for best game of all time. China has 1,000,000 times more shit games than any country. Japan has more shit gacha games than any country. Korea has like 3 good games ever. But sure, Concord is what the west delivers.
@@SnailHatan BG3 contender for best game of all time? Thanks for letting us know you haven't played a lot of games.

More pressing question is why are western devs set on making bad games. Like making women characters ugly, thats a deliberate decision, same with the woke crap, just...stop.
Cuz everyone from their company nowadays doesn't love games. The investors just want make money as much as they can so they add an infinity of microtransactions into their products. The actual developing teams just use the games to push forward their hidden agenda, imposing their woke concepts on players.
@@st.upid_fr0g470 these games are failing though. I don't think they have a significant audience in reality; I would also argue that people who call for games exactly like dustborn and such often don't end up actually playing said games.
Most of the Chinese market is dog shit games like ours, there are gems in there but there is a whole lot of games that don't work, are over monetized or have to align as a government safe space, I don't understand this idealistic view.
This is being made by InFold (Paper games)!! 🤯 The ones responsible for making female-targeted games such as: Love and Deepspace (otome date sim), Love Nikki, Shining Nikki, & Infinity Nikki (dress-up game series).
I play LnD, that thing's combat is shit. I was so surprised they come out with this. Maybe they're publisher or own the studio that make this game? Idk
i really like how the character is deflecting attacks while dodging giving the s, or more more like the moment you evaded an attack an audio response, looks organic and gives feedback on timings. boss combat looked pretty solid
IDC if its another soul game, they are fun games. You play them once and finish them. The good thing about souls game the first experience is always the best experience.
@@Mag_ladrothso what you're confused about here is a hyperbole. The comment is meant to imply this game here looks better than ubisofts newest garbage and people will therefore rather invest their money into a superior game. That would hypothetically make Investors sell off stocks thereby increasing the offer of stocks on the marketplace and lowering the value further. Jokes aren't funny anymore when they are explained.
At first I thought that combat was looking as bad as this crimson desert game but it's growing on me, visuals are insanely good which will surely carry it even if combat somewhat scuffed currently.
This game seems to have the most Sekiro like combat since well... Sekiro. It may not be as great, but I really like the rhythmic parrying in the combat.
I'm just happy that games that adopt the Sekiro defense style deflection are finally emerging. Sekiro combat mechanics should have produced a genre of its own but it just fades out back then.
Just fought Erlang for the first time. Wukong is like an 8 & Elden Ring is a 10. Sekiro is so underrated nobody even talks about it & its the greatest skill based game ever made.
I agree, I didn't play Sekiro yet because the asian aesthetic and gameplay didn't appeal as much to me as the souls and Elden Ring, but I can imagine that it's very good and different
@@ggadams639 Getting used to sekiros playstyle is tough at first, but once you realize aggressive play is the only way it becomes the most thrilling game I have ever played.
@@ebayaccount675 I'm not a fan of those, I like more the game design of the souls being that you have massive freedom to play the game as you wish, it's to me the magic of those games that nobody does better. So I don't think I would like it as much.
China doesn't like some tropes used in horror games. Like ghosts/undead or mysticism, I don't know. They'll just ban the content containing it. Check why Pirates of the Caribbean was banned back then.
The idea that you can't enjoy average to good games anymore because you've played a really good one is stupid. It's like thinking you can't eat your own cooking anymore because you went to an expensive restaurant once. Appreciate everything for what it is, don't expect everything to live up to the few top tier products that made it through survivorship bias. I'm still gonna enjoy a Jack in the Box Taco no matter what else I've eaten. And I'm still gonna enjoy a pretty good game, even if I've played better. If you can't do that, its a you problem.
Your simile is not entirely correct. Your own food costs $8, an expensive restaurant costs $100. Most of these games in question are all the same price. So if we can get Elden Ring for $60, why should we enjoy Star Wars Outlaws for $70? Other than that, i agree to some extent. A game should be judged on it's own merits, but when you know what can be done, it's hard sometimes.
Why would it be stupid ? If i'm going to spend time on a game, i want it to be as fun as possible. The cooking argument is completely bollocks because: 1- you litteraly need food to survive 2- Cooking your own food is much cheaper Also there's a difference between appreciating a good game ( that isn't necessarily on par with the best you've played), and playing an average game. I'd rather re-play a game that i love a million times than play a mediocre one that i'll forget the minute i finish it
I think the attack animations are fine, it's less flashy because i think they want to go for more realism with this setting and that kind of sword fighting style, what is good tho is that you can really see the body parts react relative to what limbs he hits, which is good detail on that
Chinese and Koreans have been absolutely killing it lately. Games, handheld game consoles, music, food, movies, everything. Nothing but love for them and if they'll free us from the mediocrity the west has been pushing on us for years, I'll personally roll the red carpet out for them. Japan was suppose to be the chosen one but unfortunately the big companies all became victims to mainstream success when japanese culture blew up a few years back.
Send this video to devs of this game, asmongold is basically beta testing these games because of how much experience he has and he's right 99% of the times, that's what you call good feedback
I think its not soulslike.. i feel like this is like genshin with that minimap and farming plants and else put into UE4/5 with parry mechanic, finisher, and stamina bar. How do it put it... it doesn't have the weight like Lies of P or Elden Ring. Its like ordinary JRPG. Maybe just like Crimson Desert or WuWa. PGR has stamina bar, has parry, has finishing move, has dodging, but its not soulslike. Im not saying this game is bad, im just saying its not soulslike, its pretty good tho. *That archer awfully similar to Bianca from PGR. VERY VERY similar.
Are joking? Just because it has action combat now it”s like gstcha? Bro there were other games with action combat before all of thous games you mention LOOL way in hell will you even compare to other gatcha combat gameplay?
@@darkreaper2528 for frikes sake!

Gatchas are a type of game that ANY one can make, they aren’t something impossible to make if you aren’t Asian LOOL
@@dearlordylord8822 wtf are you talkin about? the ONLY mechanic of an Gatcha is the gambling mechanic of characters! that IS ALL! there is no such a thing as a Gatcha combat BRO! ain’t bloody like there are no games on bloody earth that don’t use multiple character that you can swap ! there are OTHER games were the most basic of mechanics “STAMINA” existed before any gatcha was ever made, the only mechanic of a gatcha is the gambling mechanic, everything else existed before so you can’t compare a gatcha COMBAT and say it’s similar! because it makes no sense to compare it to an ARPG!
They just need to work on the camera and the animation IMO. At least that’s the minimum they need to fix. Maybe zooming out the camera when the bosses are bigger or go up. They did so that at one point in this video.
You don't even know if the camera can be zoomed out, and the person playing was literally sticking to the boss' ass. Looks like a much better camera than any dark souls game tbh.
the combat looks good but it doesn't sound good.....at all. They really need to work on the combat sounds. It needs to have more impact. What it has now is just squish, squish, squish
So with the attacks that are slightly out of frame. Do ppl not just remember the attack after seeing it one time? Surely I cant be the only person capable of this? I could beat that boss after watching this video, he had like 3 attack patterns. I just don't see why a slightly out of frame attack is an issue, like at all. Anyway I agree with everything else. Game looks good, I'll play it for sure.
I would like at least one similar game, but instead of swords and other crap as usual, there would only be a bow the whole game, because I’m already sick of the same thing, and as a rule in such games, if there is a bow, it’s completely crap.
The fact that wukong raised the bar so high for chinese game, this game looks very clunky. The animation seemed very rough and lose a couple of frames.
I do hope that the devs takes in the criticism for the gameplay and animation here and improves it. When you look at the most popular games out of China, they're absolutely fantastic in terms of gameplay. So this studio does need to step it up. Everything else looks solid though. Maybe they should get some martial artists for the combat moves like what Game Science did for Wukong and what S-Game did for Phantom Blade Zero.
After Wukong, these more standard Souls-like clones are so uninspired... Asmon's right, the bar has been raised. This one doesn't look as compelling when it comes to combat.
Tbh BM: Wukong is good but it isn't THAT good, at least when considering Soulsbornes/Souls-likes. Like, it didn't set that much hype and make me replay it many times like Lies of P did for example, or how much awe DS3, Elden Ring and Sekiro had. The game IS pretty good all things considered and the story is great when you pay attention and try to learn more about the lore of JttW, but it felt like a repetitive slog sometimes. I easily got bored of the staff moveset, and I tried the spears but I think there's only 2 (one gotten pretty early and the other is Erlang's) and both get outclassed stat and passive wise. I tried many playstyles and builds too, but I think what the game lacks is just that: diverse movesets. I think all 4 stances should have an unique basic moveset and not just different heavy/charged attacks, and then double those on the spear weapons too. The boss fights were amazing in general tho; I literally died on purpose sometimes just to do them again. I still grinded til 342 (I'm kind of a masochist) and got all armors and weapons (I think), so I did get value out of it.
@@xXjacobXxPR I'm a Wukong fan and I agree that the game still have rooms for improvement. Tho I think what people generally mean is that what Wukong have done well, they've done it so well it makes other games like this one, look a bit plain. For instance, this game environment looks good, but I can't help but think Wukong's environment was so much better. I think the same applies to souls games from Fromsoft and other soulslike. People can't help but feel like ok this is good but not Fromsoft good. Wukong just achieved somewhat the same level of being a new standard while being a flawed game
The Ballad of Antara is an epic Arabic poem that tells the story of Antarah ibn Shaddad, a pre-Islamic Arab knight and poet known for his bravery, skill in battle, and romantic exploits. Antarah was born to an Arab father and an Ethiopian slave mother, and he faced prejudice throughout his life due to his mixed heritage. His epic is one of the most famous stories of the pre-Islamic era, highlighting themes of courage, love, and personal honor. Antarah is celebrated in Arab culture, and his story has been passed down through generations. He was known for his deep love for his cousin, Abla, and his efforts to gain recognition and respect from his tribe. His poetry, which is part of the Mu'allaqat (a collection of seven long pre-Islamic poems), is highly regarded for its eloquence and powerful descriptions of battle and love.

You can’t take anyones word on if a game looks good graphically from a RUclips video. Asmon has been wrong a bunch of times calling games that look good that they look bad and vice versa.
That's it. Western game devs are over. If barely any can give us a great "tripple A" looking title... then I'm sorry. We won't have a good western game. I don't think we'll get one ever at this point. ... Oh, wait, Warhammer...
Not all western devs are EA/Ubisoft. Stop labeling the west with the virus that has infected it. When you’re sick from the flue, you aren’t to blame for being sick, you blame the virus. The woke virus has infected non western countries too, so labeling it west is just lazy.
@@BlaineCraner To me Baldur's Gay 3 is not a Baldur's Gate game... BG1 and 2 are WAY SUPERIOR. This new Faerun is nothing like the Faerun I grew up with, its not the same world, not the same setting and characters. Wizards of the Coast killed Faerun and D&D a long time ago. RIP D&D. The last good CRPG in a setting of D&D was Neverwinter Nights 2, hell even Sword Coast was a better D&D game than BG3. Didn't play BG3 and never will, frack that gay crap. I rather replay the older games, which are better, than play these slops they put out today. In fact, I'm currently replaying Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 (the PC ported version from GoG) and its a great ARPG from the Golden Age of gaming.
@@MarcoAntonio-if1kd Tbh, for me it's just that they made it turn based. BG3 is real time. What they made is Divinity Original Sin 3. Tho, what I find hilarious is how BG3 overshadows D&D in general in terms of popularity. HAH.
Chinese single player games are popping off, I hope this game gets released without monetization, make games with no monetization popular again please. Expacs are okay.
That nitpick with the mace being off screen was clearly a slam... There's no way it was gonna be anything else, especially since he wasn't moving. Now another thing would be to just in lock on and move the camera, but if you see it just the once then you'll know... These games are about timing and memorizing patterns waiting for an opening
At least these new ones don't have the dogshit stamina system that was the primary thing everyone was aping, so they can possibly have actual good combat.
Meh, looks very rough. But it's understandable since it's not a final build. If they listen to feedback and fix what needs fixing it has potential for a fun experience.
Its almost like wukong is very popular thing in the east, so damn popular, that he is incorporated in a lot of westerns things too. Its such a mistery why this game has a statue of wukong.....
Everything about the game looks promising, its just that the very core of it all, the combat, really needs to be done well. Its cool tho, almost seems genshin impact esc. with the character swapping and elemental powers, just minus everything that makes genshin bad. No gacha, **POTENTIAL** for actually engaging, technical, and difficult combat, no gacha, enemies that can actually be a threat to you, no gacha, and story-progression based unlocking of characters, AKA: bo gacha!
I disagree with the combat animations. If you distill the combat so that everything is perfectly visible with a human reaction window, it gets boring and safe really fast. With attacks coming outside of the screen, you have to infer information, and with attacks that are too fast to react, you need to predict and read the overall flow (but it depends on how good the design is). Besides, many follow-up attacks in Sekiro were unreactable so you had to know the rhythm. The combat animations feel a bit flat and repetitive though. Setting looks intriguing.
American, European, and some Japanese games started going woke and losing millions of dollars by trying to appease the non-existent "modern audience", so China, Korea, and smarter Japanese companies in and said "hold our beers!"
The parry systems in these games are better than Elden Ring I think. Stellar Blade is a perfect example of what I mean. The timing window isn't just literally one frame. Yes, that may mean you're better if you can 1F parry, but that doesn't make it "fun". When you know you can successfully parry 80% of incoming attacks, that's when it's a fun experience. No stamina gauge also increases that experience.
Sad that this very early build of this game is leaps and bounds better than 90% of the fully released games made by US developers. This is the product of a studio focusing solely on the game vs a studio focusing on pandering people that don’t even play video games
If they make each character have a different playstyle and defense mechanic they could be onto something The 1st character being better at parrying and the 2nd one being quicker and better at dodging Etc
Lmao as a Chinese the first time I heard about this game is from this bald dude 😂 let's just see if this one gonna be 50% good as BMW. I'm not asking much tbh
I might be misremembering the exact words but that appears to be Fromsoft's plans. Where they will be focusing on smaller projects before coming back to anything major.
China honestly has a lot of really great game developers and artists. The only problem is that so many of them get thrown into the pipeline of big corporations, like Tencent, and chewed up and used to make over monetized f2p games. I've seen what some of China's indie dev's have been capable of and it can honestly be pretty amazing, its just sad that so many of them never really get to see the light of day.
Why did he start using the frame-by-frame analysis all of a sudden with every game? Is that really what matters? I thought graphics don't matter as long as the game is good? So many good games have more severe flaws when it comes to animations and graphics and somehow it is an issue now. Cmon, it seems cringe.
It's becaue of AC shadows analysis. He saw that people like nitpicking. He forgot that this nitpicking is only valid when you analyse the game near it's release, not from alpha-footage.
lets see how long it takes until western game studios realise that the game is what matters, the combat, the fun, the adrenaline, the replayability, the passion should be to make games for the sake of making great games. everything else is a minuscule factor to the success of a game. fkin dei, inclusivity, etc is fine to be included in a game if it actually adds something to the game itself. But it shouldn't be the highlight of the game, certainly not the entire game itself
The real problem is that if today gaming was like 15 years ago gaming, this would be a solid 6-7 game. With the landscape nowadays it's probably approaching 8-9.
This has nothing to do with the video but I’m trying to decide which career field to go into. I’m between either Electrican or Accountant. If anyone knows which career has the most earning potential as well as career progression im interested to know.
I am perfectly ok with the market being saturated with Elden Ring clones. As long as developers focus on good games and give the middle finger to woke trash I will continue to support newer games.
to be fair some of the animations were a little off camera, but in games like these you never can only rely on what you see, you have to notice the sound queues as well
People want to make a ''souls like'' but just put 100 of the same enemies to a path to a boss, WOW SOULS LIKE AHA JAPANESE STUUFF SO GOOOD, just stop it, just like wukong hit the same guys 15 times each and get to the boss HAHA 10/10 Game
It's funny to me watching people praise these Chinese games while missing the new pattern. The souls like format is the new version of Chinese bloat ware. They are just making rip offs of something that was successful in the west. The ironic thing is, it's still better then the current gaming industry.
Literally everyone and their dog are making a "ripoff" popular thing in hopes to catch the audience. Also taking in good ideas and mechanics is just logical, it is action combat game, why wouldnt it have parry and other things. *And there are skills, character swap, companion commads btw.* Like if they make a racing game its NFS ripoff? And if they make it more arcade its mario cart copy then? Be realistic please
Welcome to the planet earth. This has been happening all over the world since the invention of fire and the wheel. You’re not making a very profound statement here.

I love people calling out Asmon Nitpicking on an alpha game. Thats literally why its there.
He has a giant platform, can point out shit that is annoying to him, and perhaps devs can see it and be like, oh shit i guess we gotta nail those details down.

If they want a quality product anyways.
You are funny. These eastern developers don't even know who Asmon is XD. You are acting as if he has 200 million fans in China XD. The majority of the population is completely unaware of him.
@@PCgamerChannel he doesn't need 200 million fans in China. It's a fact that many game developers have watched or do watch Asmons streams or his RUclips channel.
@@PCgamerChannel I am not acting as if he has 200 million fans in china.
Anyone looking on youtube for "Ballads of Anatara" in a few days will see Asmons video. Which I'm sure the dev team will get notified of some of these things pretty quickly if they have a decent social media manager.
Any feedback, at that stage of development, is better than nothing.
The gaming world as a whole is pretty small, and Asmon has a tendency to put videos up on Trending in Gaming a lot, so it isn't a stretch to think the devs could see it.
Not my fault you lack the insight into how any of this works.
You mean nitpicking like 3:40 saying it has skipped frames then proceeds to analyze but saw no actual frame skips.
@@PCgamerChannel The whole point of open alphas and betas is to hear feedback. If you think they aren't going to see Asmon be one of the first names that pop up when they look up their own game to see what people think about what they were shown, you're silly. He's one of the biggest streamers on twitch, has a large following on YT, and has a niche for these kinds of games specifically. It'd be bizarre to release an alpha preview for feedback, and then manage to not see the guy with the largest following reacting to your game, he'd be top of the search results lol. He's the one who brings the most attention to this stuff. You don't need all your fans to be in your country when you're making a GLOBAL product, you obviously don't pay attention to only your own neighborhood when you're GLOBALLY making a product, not when a massive portion of your sales would be in the West anyway. They pay attention to other cultures and what people think, that's why they make good games over there and we got Concord over here 💀
Japan: Elden Ring
Korea: Lies of P
China: Black Myth Wukong
West: Concord 😂
Did the West make any Souls-likes recently? From Europe we have Soulframe I think? I don't know if that can be classified as a Souls-like though. Plus if we look at the combat animations, it needs A LOT of polish.
Uh…no. West: Baldur’s Gate 3, arguable contender for best game of all time. China has 1,000,000 times more shit games than any country. Japan has more shit gacha games than any country. Korea has like 3 good games ever.

More pressing question is why are western devs set on making bad games. Like making women characters ugly, thats a deliberate decision, same with the woke crap, just...stop.
the modern audience likes those kinds of styles, not much we can do about a growing demographic with more weight in the gaming community.

Cuz everyone from their company nowadays doesn't love games.

I don’t like that the attack animation makes it look like he’s just constantly lunging into an invisible wall
i really like how the character is deflecting attacks while dodging giving the s, or more more like the moment you evaded an attack an audio response, looks organic and gives feedback on timings. boss combat looked pretty solid
East will take over with Gaming industry. And I have no problem with that.

This game seems to have the most Sekiro like combat since well... Sekiro. It may not be as great, but I really like the rhythmic parrying in the combat.

The idea that you can't enjoy average to good games anymore because you've played a really good one is stupid. It's like thinking you can't eat your own cooking anymore because you went to an expensive restaurant once. Appreciate everything for what it is, don't expect everything to live up to the few top tier products that made it through survivorship bias. I'm still gonna enjoy a Jack in the Box Taco no matter what else I've eaten. And I'm still gonna enjoy a pretty good game, even if I've played better. If you can't do that, its a you problem.
Perfect! 🔥
Tbh even bad games could be fun sometimes u just need to be more mind open to this games and know your expectation
Your simile is not entirely correct. Your own food costs $8, an expensive restaurant costs $100. Most of these games in question are all the same price. So if we can get Elden Ring for $60, why should we enjoy Star Wars Outlaws for $70?
Other than that, i agree to some extent. A game should be judged on it's own merits, but when you know what can be done, it's hard sometimes.
I think for most is about time, no a lot of time, and there is a lot of good games, so why waste time on bad games?
Why would it be stupid ? If i'm going to spend time on a game, i want it to be as fun as possible. The cooking argument is completely bollocks because: 1- you litteraly need food to survive
2- Cooking your own food is much cheaper
Also there's a difference between appreciating a good game ( that isn't necessarily on par with the best you've played), and playing an average game. I'd rather re-play a game that i love a million times than play a mediocre one that i'll forget the minute i finish it
I think the attack animations are fine, it's less flashy because i think they want to go for more realism with this setting and that kind of sword fighting style, what is good tho is that you can really see the body parts react relative to what limbs he hits, which is good detail on that
Chinese and Koreans have been absolutely killing it lately. Games, handheld game consoles, music, food, movies, everything. Nothing but love for them and if they'll free us from the mediocrity the west has been pushing on us for years, I'll personally roll the red carpet out for them. Japan was suppose to be the chosen one but unfortunately the big companies all became victims to mainstream success when japanese culture blew up a few years back.
golden age of gaming is starting again, but it is all the way across the sea

I think its not soulslike.. i feel like this is like genshin with that minimap and farming plants and else put into UE4/5 with parry mechanic, finisher, and stamina bar. How do it put it... it doesn't have the weight like Lies of P or Elden Ring. Its like ordinary JRPG. Maybe just like Crimson Desert or WuWa. PGR has stamina bar, has parry, has finishing move, has dodging, but its not soulslike. Im not saying this game is bad, im just saying its not soulslike, its pretty good tho.
*That archer awfully similar to Bianca from PGR. VERY VERY similar.

They just need to work on the camera and the animation IMO. At least that’s the minimum they need to fix.
Maybe zooming out the camera when the bosses are bigger or go up. They did so that at one point in this video.
You don't even know if the camera can be zoomed out, and the person playing was literally sticking to the boss' ass. Looks like a much better camera than any dark souls game tbh.

if eastern devs keeps making games like this i wouldn't mind it taking over
So with the attacks that are slightly out of frame. Do ppl not just remember the attack after seeing it one time? Surely I cant be the only person capable of this? I could beat that boss after watching this video, he had like 3 attack patterns. I just don't see why a slightly out of frame attack is an issue, like at all. Anyway I agree with everything else. Game looks good, I'll play it for sure.
I would like at least one similar game, but instead of swords and other crap as usual, there would only be a bow the whole game, because I’m already sick of the same thing, and as a rule in such games, if there is a bow, it’s completely crap.
The fact that wukong raised the bar so high for chinese game, this game looks very clunky. The animation seemed very rough and lose a couple of frames.
I do hope that the devs takes in the criticism for the gameplay and animation here and improves it. When you look at the most popular games out of China, they're absolutely fantastic in terms of gameplay. So this studio does need to step it up.
Everything else looks solid though. Maybe they should get some martial artists for the combat moves like what Game Science did for Wukong and what S-Game did for Phantom Blade Zero.
Honestly wukong didnt do anything to make this game look clunky- irs just clunky. Thats alpha for you though
@@whenimmanicimgodly4228 first wukong gameplay footage looks amazing in comparison though
It looks ok, but definitely needs refinement. Hopefully they can cook - the more Asia takes from Western AAA atm the better.
After Wukong, these more standard Souls-like clones are so uninspired...
Asmon's right, the bar has been raised. This one doesn't look as compelling when it comes to combat.
I agree with that, and the bar should stay up. Lowering the bar is why the Western game industry ended up this way.
Tbh BM: Wukong is good but it isn't THAT good, at least when considering Soulsbornes/Souls-likes. Like, it didn't set that much hype and make me replay it many times like Lies of P did for example, or how much awe DS3, Elden Ring and Sekiro had.
The game IS pretty good all things considered and the story is great when you pay attention and try to learn more about the lore of JttW, but it felt like a repetitive slog sometimes. I easily got bored of the staff moveset, and I tried the spears but I think there's only 2 (one gotten pretty early and the other is Erlang's) and both get outclassed stat and passive wise. I tried many playstyles and builds too, but I think what the game lacks is just that: diverse movesets. I think all 4 stances should have an unique basic moveset and not just different heavy/charged attacks, and then double those on the spear weapons too. The boss fights were amazing in general tho; I literally died on purpose sometimes just to do them again.
I still grinded til 342 (I'm kind of a masochist) and got all armors and weapons (I think), so I did get value out of it.
@@xXjacobXxPR I'm a Wukong fan and I agree that the game still have rooms for improvement. Tho I think what people generally mean is that what Wukong have done well, they've done it so well it makes other games like this one, look a bit plain.
For instance, this game environment looks good, but I can't help but think Wukong's environment was so much better. I think the same applies to souls games from Fromsoft and other soulslike. People can't help but feel like ok this is good but not Fromsoft good. Wukong just achieved somewhat the same level of being a new standard while being a flawed game
I'm glad that great games are still being made somewhere.
The Ballad of Antara is an epic Arabic poem that tells the story of Antarah ibn Shaddad, a pre-Islamic Arab knight and poet known for his bravery, skill in battle, and romantic exploits. Antarah was born to an Arab father and an Ethiopian slave mother, and he faced prejudice throughout his life due to his mixed heritage. His epic is one of the most famous stories of the pre-Islamic era, highlighting themes of courage, love, and personal honor.
Antarah is celebrated in Arab culture, and his story has been passed down through generations. He was known for his deep love for his cousin, Abla, and his efforts to gain recognition and respect from his tribe.

Wukong is in literally 100's of games .
Everything about the game looks promising, its just that the very core of it all, the combat, really needs to be done well.
Its cool tho, almost seems genshin impact esc. with the character swapping and elemental powers, just minus everything that makes genshin bad. No gacha, **POTENTIAL** for actually engaging, technical, and difficult combat, no gacha, enemies that can actually be a threat to you, no gacha, and story-progression based unlocking of characters, AKA: bo gacha!
Western games are done for. Until they unwoke themselves.
I disagree with the combat animations. If you distill the combat so that everything is perfectly visible with a human reaction window, it gets boring and safe really fast. With attacks coming outside of the screen, you have to infer information, and with attacks that are too fast to react, you need to predict and read the overall flow (but it depends on how good the design is). Besides, many follow-up attacks in Sekiro were unreactable so you had to know the rhythm.
The combat animations feel a bit flat and repetitive though. Setting looks intriguing.
American, European, and some Japanese games started going woke and losing millions of dollars by trying to appease the non-existent "modern audience", so China, Korea, and smarter Japanese companies in and said "hold our beers!"
I'm really scared the fact that it's free to play.
Really? Free to play Lol
@@michelletseng3638 Yeah, can google to confirm. Lost most interest in the game now cause it will have strings attached with a F2P model.
Yup. All my hype died the second I found out. Such a shame.
The parry systems in these games are better than Elden Ring I think. Stellar Blade is a perfect example of what I mean. The timing window isn't just literally one frame. Yes, that may mean you're better if you can 1F parry, but that doesn't make it "fun". When you know you can successfully parry 80% of incoming attacks, that's when it's a fun experience. No stamina gauge also increases that experience.
Sad that this very early build of this game is leaps and bounds better than 90% of the fully released games made by US developers. This is the product of a studio focusing solely on the game vs a studio focusing on pandering people that don’t even play video games
If they make each character have a different playstyle and defense mechanic they could be onto something
The 1st character being better at parrying and the 2nd one being quicker and better at dodging Etc
Because they use their resources on making a quality game instead of hiring inclusivity consultants.

So many good games have more severe flaws when it comes to animations and graphics and somehow it is an issue now. Cmon, it seems cringe.
Content, bro.
I can find so many fault in elden ring too if I use this method haha but it's doesn't no matter much, these games are good
It's becaue of AC shadows analysis. He saw that people like nitpicking. He forgot that this nitpicking is only valid when you analyse the game near it's release, not from alpha-footage.
asmongold's eye brow talks first before he actually talks 😂
Another good chinese game, Ubislop is fucked
Funny how everyone is hating on ac: shadows but settle for a mediocre game at best like this.
Asmon literally going frame by frame to find a flaw in games
Holy nitpick
The parry is like enotria : no feedback and pretty useless
lets see how long it takes until western game studios realise that the game is what matters, the combat, the fun, the adrenaline, the replayability, the passion should be to make games for the sake of making great games. everything else is a minuscule factor to the success of a game. fkin dei, inclusivity, etc is fine to be included in a game if it actually adds something to the game itself. But it shouldn't be the highlight of the game, certainly not the entire game itself
The real problem is that if today gaming was like 15 years ago gaming, this would be a solid 6-7 game.
With the landscape nowadays it's probably approaching 8-9.
its 8-9 but then elden ring and wukong are 12-13
This has nothing to do with the video but I’m trying to decide which career field to go into. I’m between either Electrican or Accountant. If anyone knows which career has the most earning potential as well as career progression im interested to know.
I am perfectly ok with the market being saturated with Elden Ring clones. As long as developers focus on good games and give the middle finger to woke trash I will continue to support newer games.
to be fair some of the animations were a little off camera, but in games like these you never can only rely on what you see, you have to notice the sound queues as well
People want to make a ''souls like'' but just put 100 of the same enemies to a path to a boss, WOW SOULS LIKE AHA JAPANESE STUUFF SO GOOOD, just stop it, just like wukong hit the same guys 15 times each and get to the boss HAHA 10/10 Game
I would try it, but doesn't look like I can customise my character to be a trans person with bottom scars. It's a hard pass for me.
I can't make a male non-binary she/her either. A hard pass for sure.
It's funny to me watching people praise these Chinese games while missing the new pattern. The souls like format is the new version of Chinese bloat ware. They are just making rip offs of something that was successful in the west. The ironic thing is, it's still better then the current gaming industry.
Literally everyone and their dog are making a "ripoff" popular thing in hopes to catch the audience. Also taking in good ideas and mechanics is just logical, it is action combat game, why wouldnt it have parry and other things. *And there are skills, character swap, companion commads btw.* Like if they make a racing game its NFS ripoff? And if they make it more arcade its mario cart copy then? Be realistic please
100%
Welcome to the planet earth. This has been happening all over the world since the invention of fire and the wheel. You’re not making a very profound statement here.
@@RichardCheny how does one invent fire?
@SWBstrong No actually this is quite a current thing. Most inventions were localised. Many more were reinvented and forgotten. What you're trying to do is reletivise is the fact that fundamentals of global civilization were based in one center and inventions are coming steadily from one side.
Elden Ring has created a cult around its lore. Now that these new games are catching up in terms of gameplay, they need serious lore and will be on par.
This game looks cool, will try it 🔥
I wish I was able to make money on RUclips and play games all day. Instead I have to work all night for 12-14 hours moving thousands of pounds of frozen and dry foods while driving them to different locations in trucks. Online gamers and RUclipsrs have life on easy mode.
7:05 Reminds me of Superman 4 where they just let him have any power that was required for the given situation so when a building got knocked down Superman was able to just rewind the damage so all the bricks when back into place.
