BM Wukong is made with love. People don’t understand, JTTW is embedded in the childhood of all the devs and Monkey King is their “Superman” growing up. They’re devoted to make the best game to not only represent their own Chinese culture, but most importantly to fulfill their own childhood dreams. When devs make game with this kind of mindset, it’s hard for it to not be great.
@DPH_Psychosis Stop, dude. No one is paid, this is simply the truth. I'm italian and this game made me get closer to chinese culture than i ever was. I bought the book, watched the 1986 animated movie and much more. Journey to the West is HISTORY. It's almost 500 years old.. the majority of the asian population knows that story by heart.
Yesssss! People outside of Asia dont know how big Wukong is, ITS LIKE ALMOST EVERY ASIANS CHILDHOOD. China Malaysia Singapore Indonesia Taiwan Philippine India Japan Korea and many many more. Im 29 now, Wukong is my parents, grandparents and might even be our ancestors childhood. Its waaaaaaay bigger than what Superman is for us, i mean its mythology, like what Olympus is to Greeks maybe
@DPH_Psychosis Are you implying that a user, sharing their thoughts behind the dev's love over the game they make is a propaganda piece of the CCP? So if we go by that logic, doesn't that mean that anyone who makes comment about other games, say BG3, and stating how the devs are passionate about their dev process is western propaganda as well? That doesn't make sense... What are we talking about here? How in the world is supporting game science game studio or the game they make anything to do with china country as whole?? This is some flat earther logic going on there buddy. Either that, or you're straight up racist and you can't accept chinese people in china is actually competent in 2024...
@DPH_Psychosis Bro literally look at his profile. You think the "50 cent army" can speak English or Italian this well LOL Not to mention you think other countries like America, INFAMOUS for CIA interference in literally countries all around the world doesn't? We 100% have our own "50 cent army". In fact it's more like a "50 billion dollar army" with NSA, etc. America is 100% invested in their global image and propaganda.
It’s obvious now that ScreenRant lost all their credibility publishing that article and they need to retract it, because it’s factually just completely wrong. There are nearly a dozen female characters who have main roles in the game, and not only that, they are ‘girlbosses’ without having to reinforce that with cringey dialogue / behavior.. they are highly capable fighters, run their own societies, toy with male characters, and are all independent and don’t live in the shadow of a man. They now have a stain on them that provably shows they allow their writers to make damaging accusations without actually playing through the game they are writing about. Now you never really know if what you’re reading there is made by someone who didn’t finish the game at all, and anything they say could just be outright false.
In an interview, the interviewer asked Game Science CEO what is 3A games. He said it's like a blockbuster with high budget and good graphics but that doesn't mean it's a good game. Good game needs to be fun, how do gamers feel after completing the game, can the gamer have different life experience in the game or even provide a different value that makes the gamer think more. That's why this is a good game and with him at helm, they'll keep making good games as long as money doesn't corrupt him.
Game Science is currently in good hands. All the founding employees are ex-Tencent employees that didn't want to work on gacha games, and wanted to create actual games.
A common reaction from Chinese speaking audience of the game was "how da hell did this game pass censorship". Apparently, even the Chinese version only had very few censorships like not allowed mention "alcohols" or covering some of the more grotesque things. It is truly a miracle cuz this game was about a freedom fighter fighting the celestial court, a stand in for the ruling government. This type of theme is generally banned in China for obvious reason.
@@xdxdsheepnope…it’s china and their people (just like the opening, wukong and their kind), rising up against hegemonic western buIIying, that’s the real theme of this game
@@xdxdsheep No. that's a common misunderstanding. 2 (Journey to the west and water margin) out of the 4 most important literature is literally about fighting the system, but it is also fighting corruption and power. No matter who is ruling China, they are not going to be able to erase those four literature as it is literally part of the chinese core culture. Wukong is also and embodiment of anti religion movement not just anti government. Throughout Chinese history it is usually the people that overthrows corrupt ruler of China. The CPC themselves is the embodiment of people's power against corrupt elite and capitalist at its core, but they are also adaptive enough to allow some flexibility to achieve their socialist goal. If they can allow capitalist to thrive in China, allowing black myth wukong to get publish is nothing. If anything, the game reminds people of the ever present balance between the government power and the people's power. This is also the core of Chinese civilization and history. This is why western people that thinks Chinese are mindless robots willingly controlled by the gov knows nothing about Chinese civilization at all.
@@xdxdsheep The game got a pass form high ranking officials. The people in power in China are getting younger in general and there's a lot of people born in 80s rising in the system now. They have a much more progressive view in terms of culture. I just hope that this is a start and not an ending.
Black Myth Wukong is a GOTY for me. Waiting for STALKER 2 but I don't think it will top the modded version of the first game. Wukong has soul, lots of love has been put into this game and it shows. Visuals, combat system, enemy variety, boss fights, character progression, exploration. These dudes need to make more games.
Current sales figure is at 17 million...and it's only been 14 days, you make a game focusing on gameing experience, you swim in money, what's so hard to understand.
That is a drop in the bucket compared to what top mobiles and gacha game make in a year. Its not the money that matters, its the soft power that it is projecting that is game changing....
@@jimyang8824 black myth has been out for 2 weeks, not 1 year, you cant really compare sales figures like that, better comparision would be like genshin new region launch month or WoW expansion launch
@@jimyang8824very good point. also, Genjin requires constant maintenance and development for new content. So it's not like all those 3 something billions were pure profit. Wukong on the other hand, after having sold the first 2 million copies, every copy sold is pure profit
just so everyone knows, 4th sister not only is the best waifu, she is literary the player's bride ;v just so everyone knows, 4th sister not only is the best waifu, she is literary the player's bride ;v
The Game Science team initially planned to design the game with 13 chapters, but due to pressure from investors, they had to cut it down to the current 6.5 chapters, almost halving the content. This is why the founder repeatedly emphasizes that "starting is more important than succeeding." Since the market response has been very positive, Game Science now has the funds to develop the previously cut content.
What I heard is budget limitation that forced them to narrow the chapters from 13 to 6. But I do agree that "starting is more important than succeeding." is correct for a small studio's debut AAA game.
Stop spreading misinformation. What the founder said is "Making the game complete is more important than making it perfect for their first game"(My translation is not good either 完成比完美更重要）
Bro that’s what a good game should be, no wokism, no political propaganda, no pay to win, no battle pass, no check in every day, just adventure, art, culture and gameplay, that’s all gamers need for ❤
@DPH_Psychosiseverything from that land titled with ccp name man, cuz there’s only one party with 90 million party members so, gud thing bud thing, China thing, ccp thing hahah
@DPH_Psychosis This game is not owned by Chinese government but company Game Science you genius, I don’t see US government says they own WOW or any of the AAA games. Kinda pathetic how you think it that way, but I guess it’s your opinion.
@@10k-Noodleswhy don’t you go make something that will sell 10 million copies of? Surely someone with such eyes for taste like you are capable of such feats?
It’s funny. We always clown on people for saying, I worked hard on this so like my game. But this game is so good, and we can tell they worked hard on it that we can’t help but admire how much work they put into it.
Not that simple, man. The spider family is actually the warden of the worm to make eggs that can infect human beings to make the pills for the upper god. There is a lot of dark stuff in the lore if you read the description of the yaoguais.
Two things Yellow Loong, Great Sage's Broken Shell and Erlang have in common: they are all brutal and they have a lot of "staring-contest moments". The devs know they're difficult and players need some brief respites to drink gourd, take a med/pill or collect their thoughts
He actually did it out of love for her and their kid. His curse was that everyone he love including himself will forever live a terrible hard life in every reincarnation. That why in the ending scene it flashes through their different incarnation. But like fate they always find each other in each lifetime
@TheRisingDevil5598 at least it is not forever, the curse is that for the next 1000 lives, he will not be able to find happiness in love, all because he saw the jade emperor being unfaithful
@@zxbulletxthat's why in dlc, monkey bro is going to heaven to choke out the jade emperor, so his bro will have an eternity of good relationship with his ho.
1. Those wooden “box” you called are actually coffins, and they are size for children. 2. Grandma was wearing a wedding dress, in the old times we wear red from head to toes in wedding night, so she wanna get marry with him. She really love him
From the analysis report, BMWK has over 17 million copies sold on Steam alone , and over 4 million copies is sold overseas.Obviously, Chinese gamers contribute the most sales,but no one can deny that it's already a big hit. Considering the other expected games that have proven unsuccessful, Black Myth: WuKong might have a chance of winning any reward this year.
I'd like to share some different perspectives about Journey to the West. If you read Journey to the West for the first time, you'll think Sun Wukong is extremely cool. But when you have gone through many hardships in life and seen the dark side of society, and then read Journey to the West again, you'll find that Sun Wukong's life seems to be arranged. Let's briefly go through this story. Sun Wukong was born from a stone. He became the Handsome Monkey King, apprenticed to Patriarch Bodhi, and obtained the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod. He made a big fuss in the Underworld and crossed out his name from the register of life and death. He was recruited by the Heavenly Court to take care of horses. After realizing that he had been deceived, he let all the heavenly horses go and made a havoc in Heaven. Then he was arranged by the Heavenly Court to manage the Peach Orchard (letting a monkey manage peaches). He ate a bunch of peaches and then stole a bunch of immortal pills. Then he made a havoc in Heaven again. Finally, he was suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain by the Tathagata Buddha. Let's simply raise a few questions and then maybe you'll understand some of the implied satire. Before Sun Wukong crossed out his name from the register of life and death, was there any abuse of power in the management of the register of life and death? After he crossed it out, all the problems were blamed on Sun Wukong. Before Sun Wukong released the heavenly horses, was there any corruption in the management of the heavenly horses? After him, all the problems were blamed on Sun Wukong. Before Sun Wukong managed the Peach Orchard, was there any corruption in the management of the Peach Orchard? After him, all the problems were blamed on Sun Wukong. But it doesn't matter. Sun Wukong still had a chance to explain. But Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain for 500 years. All the problems were dumped on him and he had no chance to defend himself. So during these 500 years under the Five Finger Mountain, Sun Wukong understood that everything that had happened to him before was arranged. He understood that he was being used. This is part of the implied satire in Journey to the West and also the origin of the word "black" in "Black Myth". This is part of the reason why Journey to the West is one of the Four Great Classical Novels in ancient China. Of course, this is not all of the novel. If you are interested, you can read it by yourself.
So Why do we like Sun Wukong? Because he embodies the purest essence we had in our childhood. He is kind, playful, free, and doesn't have so many malicious intentions. He is good at breaking rules and is unrestrained, with an optimistic and positive attitude towards life. He was your idol when you were a child. When you grow up, you will have an additional layer of emotion, that is, longing. Because this world is not perfect and has too many dark sides. We hope that there is really a Great Sage Equaling Heaven who can help us or that we ourselves can become the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and be a light to illuminate our way forward.
bro, for yellow loong, you can knock it down when he gonna fly by triple heavy. I think the poetry has told everyone but probably many people just miss it.
It’s very good for its base damage upgrade too, I didn’t realise that spirits actually increased your stats until I saw someone mention it and the attack power increase from non able is pretty good.
Took me about 15 tries to defeat Yellow Loong. Figured out to use the staff spin to build focus and spirit meter. Kept spaming heavy and tiger acolyte spirit
should really use non-able, what i like to do is use him whenever i exhaust my stamina bar to 0, using him during the animation will regain my stamina back which is really nice, plus his qi cost is the lowest out of the other spirits so you can spam him alot, his moves also stagger the enemy (boss included) which makes them much easier to deal with, just pop him on if you know the last of your light attack wont hit, since that only does the staggering (cancels boss attacks) plus.. theres an armour bonus (gold armour after chapter 3), 2 of those pieces literally give you qi everytime you use a spirit (1 full bar to be exact), so basically u can use non able then follow up with a resolute strike/ that other move from thrust to negate all the damage, after u do that it will basically be up again lol, the mana loss is bad, but it is definitely worth it for this spirit i like to hit twice then use him, cus that specific animation is the most reliable for keeping him staggered (sometimes only once if the boss attacks fast) this guy kinda sucks tho if the boss cant get staggered (which is only like 5% of the bosses), so use non void instead
If you struggle with Loong, the tactic Asmon play is not really that good. The trick is to stun him as much as possible. And you have so many options: 1 Combo finisher, 2 charge up attacks, 3 use focus points in a combo, 4 the vessel, 5 spirit, 6 immobilize, 7 cloud step, 8 the boyz, 9 spirit transformation, So I think you have 9 options to stun! The charge and stun is a nice starter but is too passive. You can weave in way more attacks as that will give you quick focus points, and buffs from the combo, a damage boost and a damage reduction, and a stun if you can get the finish off. Then utilize focus points in a combo as it will dodge back and allowing you to counter with a heavy stun, or even become invincible. If you have two focus you can safely go in to a combo as you know you can get a quick stun in with the thrust disengage into stun. For spirit I prefer the bat actually as it is a good emergency dodge into a freeze that has a much higher chance of hit, and gives you more time to heal or start a combo as the freeze duration is longer, I think. Cloud step can also counter the thunder charge thing he does, when he is finished attacking your clone, go in for a cloud step stun. The vessel can also stun ofcourse, and give DR. Also great to use immobilize with the boyz as it boost their damage and give them more time to hit. With this strategy I actually find this boss not that hard compared to other bosses. As long as you have a decent mana pool.
Yellow Loong is the only boss where Ring of Fire is the most useful. It allows your focus to build extremely fast. Keep your distance, stay in the ring and let him come into range of your thrust, and repeat until the end of the fight. Super easy Cheese. I'm shocked you pretty much figured out how to cheese him on your own like that.
Yeah i actually used the Horse Guai transformation because he’s immune to lightning. Then I just built for shock resistance with the Loong armor set and was pretty set. Only took me 2 or 3 tries but I think I was pretty leveled and also had the best weapon before chapter 6.
He'll only walk forward slowly if the AI bugs out, otherwise he won't, he'll just stay where he is doing that lightning dash and you'll not be able to charge your focus.
How can that spider look so clean. It means they can be made such a game, and not the slop we get from the usual western developers, mediocrity. And still they charge us more than this game costs. I really hope that after this game, other developers will put more effort in the making of games.
“It’s not hard I’m just making mistakes”… that defines hard my man. If it were easy you wouldn’t make mistakes. Understanding and executing are two different things.
I finished the game yesterday. Amazing experience. I'd say you should take your time and explore every chapter as much as you can. Make sure you finish the secret areas in every chapter so you can fight the secret ending boss. That is the best (but also the hardest) boss in the game. It's just freaking epic. You have to experience it to believe it.
His father ,The Loong King's job is to help humans bring rain to save agriculture. Interestingly, when he missed work, a human official beheaded him in his dream. The old man in the game is also an ordinary human.This incident serves as the prologue and leads the journey to the West
The boss you’re facing in this game is the youngest son of the Dragon King from Chinese mythology during the Tang Dynasty, known as Little Yellow Dragon. Ever since his father lost a wager with a Taoist and was beheaded (you can check out the story for more details), this young dragon has been hiding here.

Got some points regarding Elden ring and why I do believe that people defend Elden ring 1) Camera issue, constantly out of the combat during a boss fight 2)boring game-play, if you don't use the build heavy shield and spear two simple mistakes in a very bad frame boss animation, will cost you 1 minute of loading 3) I tried the parry build, my original build to finish the game and thanks to the camera boss hit the end always behind me making impossible the parry 4) The exaggerated boss move set (that you barely can see due to the bad camera) will make you parry or dodge for most of the time with a short window of quick hits. 5) All the bosses are the same, with different animations but the same dynamic combat, in the regular game any boss requires a different strategy, Renala and Richard for example. 6)Poor quest design 7)Bale area is cool, the entrance of the DLC is cool, then is 80% the same as the entrance. 8)Do we really want to talk about the end of the DLC? With a poor attempt to make us understand and sympathize with an incestuous pedophile act? Really? because Miquella has all this story well narrated behind that can make you understand that and justify, are we serious? Shall we have a look at the message behind "consort" rather than maybe vessels that maybe was a more appropriate option to use if the pedophile action wasn't in the creator's idea? 9)Are we defending Elden Ring only because it pisses off certain developers that make the same mistake and push the same message here in the West? or we keep defending it because the affection maturated before the DLC? 10) It was so hard to make Miquella a girl, attempting to resuscitate Goodwin and give us an epic fight against Goodwin and his dragon avoiding the "consort" shit? So clearly From software does the same thing as Ubisoft, pushing messages, and not giving proper product functioning (blood-borne if the enemy was on the stairs in front of you, you can't hit him) so it doesn't seem to me that they work any better than other company. And trust me I don't like Ubisoft today and I'm scared that CD Project Red are going to follow that direction.
for all the young ones, Asmongold can still remember the days before wukong gather round the campfire and hear Asmongold tell a story about pre-wukong days
Crazy thing about Yellow Loong is Asmongold beat every boss at 2-3x faster than I can, except for this one, Yellow Loong is actually weak to monkey spam so the most basic cheese build with maximum mana is somewhat effective. (Ironically the Puppet Tick spirit in the cave just beside this boss makes summoning the boys extra efficient.)
Sword guy is strongest transformation in game, 1st block until you sword meter is red then use ability and he will be faster and will do good dmg like 300-1200
@@natn41r lol, she's caught by a Celestial Court's official in the end of the chapter. And they gonna make her as a pill ingredient 😔 poor waifu At least we can consume the pill to powerup😅
@@duynguyenngoc5557 Bro, we killed hundreds of yaoguais and asked XuDog to turn them into pills for upgrades. Now it's waifu's turn. Perhaps we will see a boss in the DLC eating her and than enter second phase. 😅
I died more times than I'd like to admit on that bridge before activating the single neuron needed to just switch to Cloud Step, shit killed me more than a majority of the boss fights 😂
The crazy thing about this game is, the only criticism I have is that the maps are too big and too confusing to navigate without a minimap, it honestly frustrates me, I don’t know why but I’m someone who can’t move on from a chapter without searching every spec of land in it and that has actually effected my gameplay negatively, I don’t really consider that to be the games fault, that’s purely on me, but it’s crazy that the one thing I think is “negative” about the game is that it actually gave the player more content to explore. I still love the game reguardless I just wish navigation was easier and maps could be a little smaller but that’s really just a me thing.
I can navigate just fine, there’s plenty of landmarks to help with that. In real life how would you navigate the forest? You would take note of landscapes and which direction you’re going so you don’t get lost.
@@buttermilk5364I disagree, with all the spells/spirits and the 3 stances you get I believe the combos can be widely varied. The only thing that stays the same is the basic light attack combo.
@@keeferChiefer we can agree to disagree. I personally think the stances could've been used to change up combos and they could've switched seamlessly into them from different stances. The stances could've changed the variations of light attacks too. The light attack button in general could've used more variation imo. After playing the game twice, to me the combat got pretty repetitive. Going back to dmc 5 got me thinking this game could've used maybe just alittle more variations on how you chain spells attacks and stances together. Especially during the first playthrough of the game. You are most likely going to be just switching stances via respecing to not waiste points in the beginning. So I really felt it in my first playthrough.
The Apramana Bat or, as you called it, "chicken", is my favorite. It is a second stun lock since it freezes them, and it also does one of the most damages out of all the spirits when upgraded.
What I learned while fighting Yellow Loong is i dodge roll in front instead of backwards so I can still hit him like 2 or 3 times then back off. I think I'm one of the minority that plays this game that never uses pluck of many and still enjoy it. He punishes you when you're too far or too close. You just really need to take your time and be smart.
Some additional context on the Love story between Bajie and the Spider yaoguai: Zhu Bajie was originally Marshal Tianpeng (the commander of the Heavenly River), admired for his appearance, often secretly spying on the Goddess Chang’e. Unfortunately, one time when he was drunk, he accidentally bumped into Chang’e (it was a misunderstanding, but there were witnesses), and as a result, he was demoted and banished to the human world, turning into a pig. This (legend of the Goddess) was never forgotten by Zhu Bajie, and after being turned into a pig, he was eventually reborn as a pig spirit. In the spider cave, when he saw the spider spirit, he immediately became smitten, as her voice reminded him of the Goddess. However, even the spider spirit had no idea what Zhu Bajie was thinking, so she could only keep silent, waiting for Zhu Bajie to approach her. Then she heard Zhu Bajie say: "You look just like the Goddess. Back then, I only touched her by accident, but I didn’t expect to be demoted for it." The spider spirit didn't really know what to say, and could only keep spinning her web while absorbing the energy of the heavens and earth. She didn't really know much about love. Over time, she began to figure out the relationship between Zhu Bajie and the Goddess and also realized that she had already reached the end of her life in this world. Zhu Bajie didn't care about love or other such emotions anymore; he only knew one thing - the spider spirit reminded him of the Goddess. Zhu Bajie and the spider spirit both knew they couldn’t be together. Both understood they would only lead each other to death, and their fates were predestined - the spider spirit would die, and Zhu Bajie would be left alone. The spider spirit asked: "Do you know why the Heavenly King never cared about you?" "You violated the heavens, and thus turned into a pig." "Zhu Bajie, you have turned into a monster." Yet Zhu Bajie couldn’t figure it out. In his final moments with the spider spirit, he thought everything had already gone well, imagining a romantic, carefree life for the both of them, but that was just his fantasy. The spider spirit saw it as a long farewell.
As much as I like this game, its not getting off scott free. the attack patterns, the sheer length of combos and the downtime between said combos is just sweaty.
Imo every time I went to a fight and I noticed the enemy was exponentially tankier compared to literally every other boss, I respecd my spell slots into spellbinder and that's what made the fight actually doable. Otherwise I still have to play perfectly, but waste a ton of magic and still not get nearly as far away nearly as fast as with spellbinder I'm in the last chapter and so far I've had to do this like 2-4 times. Curious how many more times I'll have to do it
i beat this yellow loong last night, for first 60minutes getting whacked nonstop, until i give up all magic and use spell binder with max survival perk. going in close combat dodge and counter. finally beat it. such a great fight, skill to the core. hardcore soul style but fast pace fight. best fight i had by far in the game! (till now still thrill from his non-stop triple fire explosive thingy slash!) Felt like i'm the main charactor in shangri'la frontier anime fighting the secret boss thing "IF you knew what i meant😄"
honestly the zhu bajie fight is absolutely terrible the immune phases + the mud is annoying as f I give the game a 9, it would be perfect if not for the invisible walls (I get why they did it, showing big and cool backgrounds without covering them with stone walls so you can see them but not making them explorable but it still feels bad) and some bosses like this and earlang with dumb mechanics that are just time wasters
"I think I need to practice more with the sword guy" Is currently stuck on Yellow Loong and can experiment as much as he wants "As it stands right now i'm not doing that" *bruh*
It was pain to watch him plays it. He is like some grandfather, never uses his ability, never uses pills, never uses F, never uses transform, never uses T. Stright tunelvision-man
i just beat yellow loong and he was using combos much diff then when asmon played him in this video. i wonder if they patched the game to make the boss do his second phase much more frequently
What I find most impressive about black myth wukong is that this is the first real game they ever developed and they made sure to hit the ground running when they did I really appreciate the hard work and design of this game and they deserve to be talked well about because they didn’t rush this game you can tell they was dead serious. Some people look past some things without understanding that these people worked hard on this most new developers almost always have issues with there first titles this company comes out like bam and makes all the other companies look bad. Look at 90 percent of the games coming out today with massive bugs at launch the problem is they really have no means of making anything well it’s obvious. I got my eye on game science because we ain’t seen the end of what they might create next
People who have finished this game. Can you tell me if, like in the golden olden days once you finish the game can you take your unlocks, weapons and skills and start a new game with it. I'm not talking NG+ but the classic style of New Game after finishing.
just finished the game and i cant tell if yellow loong is still the hardest or phase 2 of the end boss is harder...i understand how this game works better by the end.
the graphics are very good i would like a series maybe because there are still a lot of characters in The Journey to the West that are not in this game❤
51:35, Yellow Loong and Yellow Brow actually are easy bosses if you can catch their pace. I tried both of them for about 10 times each, but after I know what they gonna do for each phase, I didn’t even use half of my gourd. 😂
i cant fucking believe you crossed the ballsack bridge on your first try, without even using cloudstep, WITHOUT A FULLY CHARGED THRUST THORWING YOU OFF THE EDGE goddamn why did that only happen to me
BM Wukong is made with love. People don’t understand, JTTW is embedded in the childhood of all the devs and Monkey King is their “Superman” growing up. They’re devoted to make the best game to not only represent their own Chinese culture, but most importantly to fulfill their own childhood dreams. When devs make game with this kind of mindset, it’s hard for it to not be great.
Made with love, yes I can feel it. Thank you. I love the originality and cultural aspect in it. I'm not even a gamer and I want BMW for my collection
@DPH_Psychosis Stop, dude. No one is paid, this is simply the truth. I'm italian and this game made me get closer to chinese culture than i ever was. I bought the book, watched the 1986 animated movie and much more. Journey to the West is HISTORY. It's almost 500 years old.. the majority of the asian population knows that story by heart.
Yesssss! People outside of Asia dont know how big Wukong is, ITS LIKE ALMOST EVERY ASIANS CHILDHOOD. China Malaysia Singapore Indonesia Taiwan Philippine India Japan Korea and many many more. Im 29 now, Wukong is my parents, grandparents and might even be our ancestors childhood. Its waaaaaaay bigger than what Superman is for us, i mean its mythology, like what Olympus is to Greeks maybe

Not to mention you think other countries like America, INFAMOUS for CIA interference in literally countries all around the world doesn't? We 100% have our own "50 cent army". In fact it's more like a "50 billion dollar army" with NSA, etc. America is 100% invested in their global image and propaganda.
It’s obvious now that ScreenRant lost all their credibility publishing that article and they need to retract it, because it’s factually just completely wrong. There are nearly a dozen female characters who have main roles in the game, and not only that, they are ‘girlbosses’ without having to reinforce that with cringey dialogue / behavior.. they are highly capable fighters, run their own societies, toy with male characters, and are all independent and don’t live in the shadow of a man.

Now you never really know if what you’re reading there is made by someone who didn’t finish the game at all, and anything they say could just be outright false.

I mean for some game that came from a few week a go is getting left on the dust. Im gonna make you guess for yourself what game it is
In an interview, the interviewer asked Game Science CEO what is 3A games. He said it's like a blockbuster with high budget and good graphics but that doesn't mean it's a good game. Good game needs to be fun, how do gamers feel after completing the game, can the gamer have different life experience in the game or even provide a different value that makes the gamer think more.
That's why this is a good game and with him at helm, they'll keep making good games as long as money doesn't corrupt him.
Game Science is currently in good hands. All the founding employees are ex-Tencent employees that didn't want to work on gacha games, and wanted to create actual games.
A common reaction from Chinese speaking audience of the game was "how da hell did this game pass censorship". Apparently, even the Chinese version only had very few censorships like not allowed mention "alcohols" or covering some of the more grotesque things. It is truly a miracle cuz this game was about a freedom fighter fighting the celestial court, a stand in for the ruling government. This type of theme is generally banned in China for obvious reason.
@@xdxdsheepnope…it’s china and their people (just like the opening, wukong and their kind), rising up against hegemonic western buIIying, that’s the real theme of this game
@@xdxdsheep No. that's a common misunderstanding. 2 (Journey to the west and water margin) out of the 4 most important literature is literally about fighting the system, but it is also fighting corruption and power. No matter who is ruling China, they are not going to be able to erase those four literature as it is literally part of the chinese core culture. Wukong is also and embodiment of anti religion movement not just anti government. Throughout Chinese history it is usually the people that overthrows corrupt ruler of China. The CPC themselves is the embodiment of people's power against corrupt elite and capitalist at its core, but they are also adaptive enough to allow some flexibility to achieve their socialist goal. If they can allow capitalist to thrive in China, allowing black myth wukong to get publish is nothing. If anything, the game reminds people of the ever present balance between the government power and the people's power. This is also the core of Chinese civilization and history. This is why western people that thinks Chinese are mindless robots willingly controlled by the gov knows nothing about Chinese civilization at all.
@@xdxdsheep The game got a pass form high ranking officials. The people in power in China are getting younger in general and there's a lot of people born in 80s rising in the system now. They have a much more progressive view in terms of culture. I just hope that this is a start and not an ending.
Black Myth Wukong is a GOTY for me. Waiting for STALKER 2 but I don't think it will top the modded version of the first game.
Wukong has soul, lots of love has been put into this game and it shows. Visuals, combat system, enemy variety, boss fights, character progression, exploration.
These dudes need to make more games.
Current sales figure is at 17 million...and it's only been 14 days, you make a game focusing on gameing experience, you swim in money, what's so hard to understand.
That is a drop in the bucket compared to what top mobiles and gacha game make in a year. Its not the money that matters, its the soft power that it is projecting that is game changing....
@@turtlesoup8134 wtf are u even talking about? 17 million in sales is Over 1.1 Billion dollars in revenue, its not a drop in any bucket

No bla bla around it
The Game Science team initially planned to design the game with 13 chapters, but due to pressure from investors, they had to cut it down to the current 6.5 chapters, almost halving the content. This is why the founder repeatedly emphasizes that "starting is more important than succeeding." Since the market response has been very positive, Game Science now has the funds to develop the previously cut content.
That is not true at all. stop spreading misinformation. Nobody that works for Game Science said that at all.
What I heard is budget limitation that forced them to narrow the chapters from 13 to 6. But I do agree that "starting is more important than succeeding." is correct for a small studio's debut AAA game.
Stop spreading misinformation. What the founder said is "Making the game complete is more important than making it perfect for their first game"(My translation is not good either 完成比完美更重要）
no. what he said is "completion is more important than perfection"

The worm he was fighting are silk worms, they were used by the spider ladies to make silk cloths, because they are skilled weaver in the story
Not that simple, man. The spider family is actually the warden of the worm to make eggs that can infect human beings to make the pills for the upper god. There is a lot of dark stuff in the lore if you read the description of the yaoguais.
Two things Yellow Loong, Great Sage's Broken Shell and Erlang have in common: they are all brutal and they have a lot of "staring-contest moments". The devs know they're difficult and players need some brief respites to drink gourd, take a med/pill or collect their thoughts

Wukong is Game Of The Year 2024❤🇨🇳
I'd like to share some different perspectives about Journey to the West.
If you read Journey to the West for the first time, you'll think Sun Wukong is extremely cool.
But when you have gone through many hardships in life and seen the dark side of society,
and then read Journey to the West again,
you'll find that Sun Wukong's life seems to be arranged.
Let's briefly go through this story.
Sun Wukong was born from a stone.
He became the Handsome Monkey King, apprenticed to Patriarch Bodhi, and obtained the Ruyi Golden-Hooped Rod.
He made a big fuss in the Underworld and crossed out his name from the register of life and death.
He was recruited by the Heavenly Court to take care of horses. After realizing that he had been deceived, he let all the heavenly horses go and made a havoc in Heaven.
Then he was arranged by the Heavenly Court to manage the Peach Orchard (letting a monkey manage peaches).
He ate a bunch of peaches and then stole a bunch of immortal pills.
Then he made a havoc in Heaven again.
Finally, he was suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain by the Tathagata Buddha.
Let's simply raise a few questions and then maybe you'll understand some of the implied satire.
Before Sun Wukong crossed out his name from the register of life and death, was there any abuse of power in the management of the register of life and death? After he crossed it out, all the problems were blamed on Sun Wukong.
Before Sun Wukong released the heavenly horses, was there any corruption in the management of the heavenly horses? After him, all the problems were blamed on Sun Wukong.
Before Sun Wukong managed the Peach Orchard, was there any corruption in the management of the Peach Orchard? After him, all the problems were blamed on Sun Wukong.
But it doesn't matter. Sun Wukong still had a chance to explain.
But Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Five Finger Mountain for 500 years.
All the problems were dumped on him and he had no chance to defend himself.
So during these 500 years under the Five Finger Mountain, Sun Wukong understood that everything that had happened to him before was arranged.
He understood that he was being used.
This is part of the implied satire in Journey to the West and also the origin of the word "black" in "Black Myth".
This is part of the reason why Journey to the West is one of the Four Great Classical Novels in ancient China.
Of course, this is not all of the novel.
If you are interested, you can read it by yourself.
So Why do we like Sun Wukong? Because he embodies the purest essence we had in our childhood.
He is kind, playful, free, and doesn't have so many malicious intentions.
He is good at breaking rules and is unrestrained, with an optimistic and positive attitude towards life.
He was your idol when you were a child.
When you grow up, you will have an additional layer of emotion, that is, longing.
Because this world is not perfect and has too many dark sides.
We hope that there is really a Great Sage Equaling Heaven who can help us or that we ourselves can become the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and be a light to illuminate our way forward.
bro, for yellow loong, you can knock it down when he gonna fly by triple heavy. I think the poetry has told everyone but probably many people just miss it.
The boss designs are truly next level
The Non-able sprit is actually very good. It can connect each light attack.
it can stagger aswell and cancel boss attacks, plus it has the lowest qi cost of any other spirits
It’s very good for its base damage upgrade too, I didn’t realise that spirits actually increased your stats until I saw someone mention it and the attack power increase from non able is pretty good.
Commander beetles spirit is very good too, quick cast time and huge AOE range with good damage.
In my opinion, the yellow loong boss is in the top 3 hardest bosses in the game.
Zhu bajie was damn handsome!

Man’s been training for that roach boss his entire life 😂😂😂
same for me for the spider ones for living in Australia
Took me about 15 tries to defeat Yellow Loong. Figured out to use the staff spin to build focus and spirit meter. Kept spaming heavy and tiger acolyte spirit
7 seconds and it’s recommended wtf
Same here i ran so fast to my pc lmfao
@@BCS-ew6vx nah but I just opened yt and it was top of the app
should really use non-able, what i like to do is use him whenever i exhaust my stamina bar to 0, using him during the animation will regain my stamina back which is really nice, plus his qi cost is the lowest out of the other spirits so you can spam him alot, his moves also stagger the enemy (boss included) which makes them much easier to deal with, just pop him on if you know the last of your light attack wont hit, since that only does the staggering (cancels boss attacks)
plus.. theres an armour bonus (gold armour after chapter 3), 2 of those pieces literally give you qi everytime you use a spirit (1 full bar to be exact), so basically u can use non able then follow up with a resolute strike/ that other move from thrust to negate all the damage, after u do that it will basically be up again lol, the mana loss is bad, but it is definitely worth it for this spirit
i like to hit twice then use him, cus that specific animation is the most reliable for keeping him staggered (sometimes only once if the boss attacks fast)
this guy kinda sucks tho if the boss cant get staggered (which is only like 5% of the bosses), so use non void instead
If you struggle with Loong, the tactic Asmon play is not really that good.
The trick is to stun him as much as possible. And you have so many options:
1 Combo finisher, 2 charge up attacks, 3 use focus points in a combo, 4 the vessel, 5 spirit, 6 immobilize, 7 cloud step, 8 the boyz, 9 spirit transformation,
So I think you have 9 options to stun!
The charge and stun is a nice starter but is too passive.
You can weave in way more attacks as that will give you quick focus points, and buffs from the combo, a damage boost and a damage reduction, and a stun if you can get the finish off.
Then utilize focus points in a combo as it will dodge back and allowing you to counter with a heavy stun, or even become invincible.
If you have two focus you can safely go in to a combo as you know you can get a quick stun in with the thrust disengage into stun.
For spirit I prefer the bat actually as it is a good emergency dodge into a freeze that has a much higher chance of hit, and gives you more time to heal or start a combo as the freeze duration is longer, I think.
Cloud step can also counter the thunder charge thing he does, when he is finished attacking your clone, go in for a cloud step stun.
The vessel can also stun ofcourse, and give DR.
Also great to use immobilize with the boyz as it boost their damage and give them more time to hit.
With this strategy I actually find this boss not that hard compared to other bosses. As long as you have a decent mana pool.
Interestingly, the spider from the old spider's sleeve is the daughter of Bajie, and this old spider!
some female spider mate once in her life and keep giving birth year after year. I'm not sure if this is the case
more percisely the sixth daughter of the old spider
@@youmumyon1880 in the cut scene, 1st and 2nd sister says they weren't born during journey to the west. They could all be bajie's kids.
0:10 I miss her
😭😭
Wish we get a dlc and we can see her again
Me too man, been 2 months
just so you know, not only the 4th sister is the best waifu there,.
she is literally the chosen one's bride ;v
Brruh.. Me too.
Yellow Loong is the only boss where Ring of Fire is the most useful. It allows your focus to build extremely fast. Keep your distance, stay in the ring and let him come into range of your thrust, and repeat until the end of the fight. Super easy Cheese. I'm shocked you pretty much figured out how to cheese him on your own like that.
Yeah i actually used the Horse Guai transformation because he’s immune to lightning. Then I just built for shock resistance with the Loong armor set and was pretty set. Only took me 2 or 3 tries but I think I was pretty leveled and also had the best weapon before chapter 6.
asmon might be dumb in being a mechanical player, but you know damn well this guy will always find a way to beat an enemy.
no need if you cheese everything with a one shot build
@acters124 there's no such thing.
He'll only walk forward slowly if the AI bugs out, otherwise he won't, he'll just stay where he is doing that lightning dash and you'll not be able to charge your focus.
"Still play" like it's 2 years old at this point 🤦♂️
1:41:08 Asmon:"I hit the wrong button." Guangzhi:"nah, it was me."
Yellow loong is my favorite fight so far, id play new game plus just to fight him again
How can that spider look so clean. It means they can be made such a game, and not the slop we get from the usual western developers, mediocrity. And still they charge us more than this game costs. I really hope that after this game, other developers will put more effort in the making of games.
"This is why I still play this game that just came out a millisecond ago."
“It’s not hard I’m just making mistakes”… that defines hard my man. If it were easy you wouldn’t make mistakes. Understanding and executing are two different things.
I finished the game yesterday. Amazing experience. I'd say you should take your time and explore every chapter as much as you can. Make sure you finish the secret areas in every chapter so you can fight the secret ending boss. That is the best (but also the hardest) boss in the game. It's just freaking epic. You have to experience it to believe it.
His father ,The Loong King's job is to help humans bring rain to save agriculture. Interestingly, when he missed work, a human official beheaded him in his dream. The old man in the game is also an ordinary human.This incident serves as the prologue and leads the journey to the West
Chapter 4 is SO PEAK, with one of the best bosses, Awesome Cutscenes, and Awesome Lore. Love the Spider Sisters, they are so🔥
Please tell me in not the only one who really struggled on the like chapter 1 snake boss 😅
I dead 3 times on it
Id say hes the skill check of chapter 1 took me 2 triesbto figure him out, same with tiger vanguard being the check for 2
The boss you’re facing in this game is the youngest son of the Dragon King from Chinese mythology during the Tang Dynasty, known as Little Yellow Dragon. Ever since his father lost a wager with a Taoist and was beheaded (you can check out the story for more details), this young dragon has been hiding here.
The bet is won, and the price is life.
Taking advantage of one’s position to cheat will be punished
The Loong King's job is to help humans bring rain to save agriculture. Interestingly, when he missed work, a human official beheaded him in his dream. The old man in the game is also an ordinary human.
BTW, the earliest point you can get the second Kun Steel is in the secret map of this chapter, after you beat the final boss of that part
this is a really great game and doesn't get boring like Elden Ring when you're not fighting a boss.
Game development time: 8 years
Asmon 8 hours after launch: This is why I STILL play this game
Yellow Loong was my favorite boss battle, such a fun boss.
the first cocakroach that he ever sniped has come back in for force to seek its revenge here in wukong lmao :D
Got some points regarding Elden ring and why I do believe that people defend Elden ring
1) Camera issue, constantly out of the combat during a boss fight
2)boring game-play, if you don't use the build heavy shield and spear two simple mistakes in a very bad frame boss animation, will cost you 1 minute of loading
3) I tried the parry build, my original build to finish the game and thanks to the camera boss hit the end always behind me making impossible the parry
4) The exaggerated boss move set (that you barely can see due to the bad camera) will make you parry or dodge for most of the time with a short window of quick hits.
5) All the bosses are the same, with different animations but the same dynamic combat, in the regular game any boss requires a different strategy, Renala and Richard for example.
6)Poor quest design
7)Bale area is cool, the entrance of the DLC is cool, then is 80% the same as the entrance.
8)Do we really want to talk about the end of the DLC? With a poor attempt to make us understand and sympathize with an incestuous pedophile act? Really? because Miquella has all this story well narrated behind that can make you understand that and justify, are we serious? Shall we have a look at the message behind "consort" rather than maybe vessels that maybe was a more appropriate option to use if the pedophile action wasn't in the creator's idea?
9)Are we defending Elden Ring only because it pisses off certain developers that make the same mistake and push the same message here in the West? or we keep defending it because the affection maturated before the DLC?
10) It was so hard to make Miquella a girl, attempting to resuscitate Goodwin and give us an epic fight against Goodwin and his dragon avoiding the "consort" shit? So clearly From software does the same thing as Ubisoft, pushing messages, and not giving proper product functioning (blood-borne if the enemy was on the stairs in front of you, you can't hit him) so it doesn't seem to me that they work any better than other company. And trust me I don't like Ubisoft today and I'm scared that CD Project Red are going to follow that direction.
"This Is Why I Still Play Black Myth Wukong"
homie is nostalgic about a game that's like 17 minutes old
for all the young ones, Asmongold can still remember the days before wukong
gather round the campfire and hear Asmongold tell a story about pre-wukong days
Crazy thing about Yellow Loong is Asmongold beat every boss at 2-3x faster than I can, except for this one, Yellow Loong is actually weak to monkey spam so the most basic cheese build with maximum mana is somewhat effective.
(Ironically the Puppet Tick spirit in the cave just beside this boss makes summoning the boys extra efficient.)
Sword guy is strongest transformation in game, 1st block until you sword meter is red then use ability and he will be faster and will do good dmg like 300-1200
Everyone just goes into "neuron trigger monkey meme" mode and spamming the attack button as soon as they summon him.

13:00 fight to prove who's the strongest roach king
no need to rush , search a map online,and there ia a hidden boss in this chapter, should use stealth spell to go across the narrow bridge😂😂

Same
Transforming into rat, BOOM!
Jump and press heavy attack, that will help you jump higher like a double jump
The crazy thing about this game is, the only criticism I have is that the maps are too big and too confusing to navigate without a minimap, it honestly frustrates me, I don’t know why but I’m someone who can’t move on from a chapter without searching every spec of land in it and that has actually effected my gameplay negatively, I don’t really consider that to be the games fault, that’s purely on me, but it’s crazy that the one thing I think is “negative” about the game is that it actually gave the player more content to explore. I still love the game reguardless I just wish navigation was easier and maps could be a little smaller but that’s really just a me thing.
It could use some more variation in combos too. It's pretty repetitive in that department. Imo
I can navigate just fine, there’s plenty of landmarks to help with that. In real life how would you navigate the forest? You would take note of landscapes and which direction you’re going so you don’t get lost.
@@buttermilk5364I disagree, with all the spells/spirits and the 3 stances you get I believe the combos can be widely varied. The only thing that stays the same is the basic light attack combo.
@@keeferChiefer we can agree to disagree. I personally think the stances could've been used to change up combos and they could've switched seamlessly into them from different stances. The stances could've changed the variations of light attacks too. The light attack button in general could've used more variation imo. After playing the game twice, to me the combat got pretty repetitive. Going back to dmc 5 got me thinking this game could've used maybe just alittle more variations on how you chain spells attacks and stances together.
Especially during the first playthrough of the game. You are most likely going to be just switching stances via respecing to not waiste points in the beginning. So I really felt it in my first playthrough.
@@buttermilk5364hm r u sure? try different stances and see through, its very satisfying
The Apramana Bat or, as you called it, "chicken", is my favorite. It is a second stun lock since it freezes them, and it also does one of the most damages out of all the spirits when upgraded.
1:41:27 "i hit the wrong button"
Thats the right button to survive. Lol!!!!
1:39:50 Ultra Instinct activated
Thanks for sharing the moments ！
Move + HeavyAttack is a good tactic for this boss and the final boss as well.
What I learned while fighting Yellow Loong is i dodge roll in front instead of backwards so I can still hit him like 2 or 3 times then back off. I think I'm one of the minority that plays this game that never uses pluck of many and still enjoy it. He punishes you when you're too far or too close. You just really need to take your time and be smart.
I play this game with spell binder because it's better and more fun.
@@buttermilk5364 saaame spell binder is so good
42:42 Oof, he's fighting the yellow loong in this one
Some additional context on the Love story between Bajie and the Spider yaoguai:
Zhu Bajie was originally Marshal Tianpeng (the commander of the Heavenly River), admired for his appearance, often secretly spying on the Goddess Chang’e. Unfortunately, one time when he was drunk, he accidentally bumped into Chang’e (it was a misunderstanding, but there were witnesses), and as a result, he was demoted and banished to the human world, turning into a pig. This (legend of the Goddess) was never forgotten by Zhu Bajie, and after being turned into a pig, he was eventually reborn as a pig spirit.
In the spider cave, when he saw the spider spirit, he immediately became smitten, as her voice reminded him of the Goddess. However, even the spider spirit had no idea what Zhu Bajie was thinking, so she could only keep silent, waiting for Zhu Bajie to approach her. Then she heard Zhu Bajie say: "You look just like the Goddess. Back then, I only touched her by accident, but I didn’t expect to be demoted for it."
The spider spirit didn't really know what to say, and could only keep spinning her web while absorbing the energy of the heavens and earth. She didn't really know much about love. Over time, she began to figure out the relationship between Zhu Bajie and the Goddess and also realized that she had already reached the end of her life in this world.
Zhu Bajie didn't care about love or other such emotions anymore; he only knew one thing - the spider spirit reminded him of the Goddess.
Zhu Bajie and the spider spirit both knew they couldn’t be together. Both understood they would only lead each other to death, and their fates were predestined - the spider spirit would die, and Zhu Bajie would be left alone.
The spider spirit asked:
"Do you know why the Heavenly King never cared about you?"
"You violated the heavens, and thus turned into a pig."
"Zhu Bajie, you have turned into a monster."
Yet Zhu Bajie couldn’t figure it out. In his final moments with the spider spirit, he thought everything had already gone well, imagining a romantic, carefree life for the both of them, but that was just his fantasy. The spider spirit saw it as a long farewell.
As much as I like this game, its not getting off scott free. the attack patterns, the sheer length of combos and the downtime between said combos is just sweaty.
Imo every time I went to a fight and I noticed the enemy was exponentially tankier compared to literally every other boss, I respecd my spell slots into spellbinder and that's what made the fight actually doable. Otherwise I still have to play perfectly, but waste a ton of magic and still not get nearly as far away nearly as fast as with spellbinder
I'm in the last chapter and so far I've had to do this like 2-4 times. Curious how many more times I'll have to do it
13:12 i didnt think a pokeman was going to be the first boss.
i beat this yellow loong last night, for first 60minutes getting whacked nonstop, until i give up all magic and use spell binder with max survival perk. going in close combat dodge and counter. finally beat it. such a great fight, skill to the core. hardcore soul style but fast pace fight. best fight i had by far in the game! (till now still thrill from his non-stop triple fire explosive thingy slash!) Felt like i'm the main charactor in shangri'la frontier anime fighting the secret boss thing "IF you knew what i meant😄"
The age of explaining why you play a game should be coming to an end here soon
49:47 clones are worth it it’s your stance that’s not. And that rock solid here. Cloud step would avoid those combos
And that transformation. Use something with frost or fire and put points into transformation. You’re gonna need that extra free health bar
Very well done against Yellow Loong! Congratulations man. You did great overall
because Sun Wukong is a rebellious badass
Every character in this game is designed very brilliantly.
God he’s doing so much better on Yellow Loong than I did. Took me forever.
It’s all about tactical retreat in the fight with yellow loong. That paired with the needle is easy win
Black myth wukong has been updated on the Epic store on December 10,16:00 Beijing
honestly the zhu bajie fight is absolutely terrible
the immune phases + the mud is annoying as f
I give the game a 9, it would be perfect if not for the invisible walls (I get why they did it, showing big and cool backgrounds without covering them with stone walls so you can see them but not making them explorable but it still feels bad) and some bosses like this and earlang with dumb mechanics that are just time wasters
1:39:48 was soo cool..! Dodge.. dodge... 🙌
1:39:22
Asmongold: “well, let’s kill him”
Narrator: “…and so he did”
0:07 sounds like a question i asked on my honeymoon.
"I think I need to practice more with the sword guy" Is currently stuck on Yellow Loong and can experiment as much as he wants "As it stands right now i'm not doing that" *bruh*
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Black Myth Wukong are my two runner up for GOTY!
Same
It was pain to watch him plays it. He is like some grandfather, never uses his ability, never uses pills, never uses F, never uses transform, never uses T. Stright tunelvision-man
BMW is kind of the game that when I start to play, I can never stop😊
i just beat yellow loong and he was using combos much diff then when asmon played him in this video. i wonder if they patched the game to make the boss do his second phase much more frequently
What I find most impressive about black myth wukong is that this is the first real game they ever developed and they made sure to hit the ground running when they did I really appreciate the hard work and design of this game and they deserve to be talked well about because they didn’t rush this game you can tell they was dead serious. Some people look past some things without understanding that these people worked hard on this most new developers almost always have issues with there first titles this company comes out like bam and makes all the other companies look bad. Look at 90 percent of the games coming out today with massive bugs at launch the problem is they really have no means of making anything well it’s obvious. I got my eye on game science because we ain’t seen the end of what they might create next
People who have finished this game. Can you tell me if, like in the golden olden days once you finish the game can you take your unlocks, weapons and skills and start a new game with it. I'm not talking NG+ but the classic style of New Game after finishing.
only ng+
@@kernelc.3074 Damn. It's the one thing I wish games like these would bring back.
25:10, 29:00, 42:47, 2:04:30, 2:27:50, 2:35:00, 2:47:50
just finished the game and i cant tell if yellow loong is still the hardest or phase 2 of the end boss is harder...i understand how this game works better by the end.
Because it's fun
the graphics are very good i would like a series maybe because there are still a lot of characters in The Journey to the West that are not in this game❤
The music during the Yellow Loong goes fuqn hard af
29:02 42:51 1:41:00 2:34:48 2:49:12
Yellow loong took more than a hour
51:35, Yellow Loong and Yellow Brow actually are easy bosses if you can catch their pace. I tried both of them for about 10 times each, but after I know what they gonna do for each phase, I didn’t even use half of my gourd. 😂
bro this game just gets better as each chapter goes on . W wukong !
"I didn't even see it there" (the worm) 😂. If I had a penny for every time you don't see things in games, I'd have more money than you 😂
Haven’t seen you used the triple jump slash with yellow loong’s transformation. That’s crazy damage
i cant fucking believe you crossed the ballsack bridge on your first try, without even using cloudstep, WITHOUT A FULLY CHARGED THRUST THORWING YOU OFF THE EDGE goddamn why did that only happen to me
