Screenrant did a positive and negative overvuew, one of the negatives was that a game set in mythological china which has you playing as a monkey is and i quote "not diverse or inclusive enough"
Screw Game Journos and their stupid demand of "diverse and inclusive", just make a damn good game. This is why Game Journos are a dying bunch as most are worthless activist and know nothing of what gamers want or care about.
Screenrant is BuzzFeed for neck beards and virgins. That is all
The reviewer said it was because there were no female characters.
Screenrant is shocked that a game that takes place in Chinese mythology is full of Chinese people. What do they think this game is? A Ubisoft game?
@@rodman228-lt5yqI swear I saw female characters in the trailer
steller blade - TOO MUCH WOMAN
wu kong - NOT ENOUGH WOMAN
You can't win these days it seems. What a world to live in.
@@RagingUtai ain't that the truth
Tu much monkee
I really don’t get why our American companies trash games from other regions.
Stellar Blade had plenty of women, just not the representation of women they wanted.
I think that when the most major criticism is the performance, that means that the core of the game is pretty great.
@cosmic2750 good point
still performance is a shitty hinderance and causes ppl to either tuff it out and have less fun or wait even longer to play. hopefully the issues aren't major and a day one patch can solve a large chunk of performance issues
@@ethanwinston2672 this is when we as consumers wait, I really want to play dragons dogma 2 but I refuse to buy it till the performance issue are fixed.
@@ethanwinston2672 yeah, elden ring was dogsh1t when it came out on pc but thankfully they fixed the big fuk up on a couble days. lets hope they fix it so the experience can be the best it can be.
@@ethanwinston2672 Strangely, both Elden Ring and 2077 had a massive number of bugs at the time of release, which somehow didn't influence their high score.
Hard to trust negative reviews when screen rant makes an absolute embarrassment of themselves with their review.
Shambles company
I don’t know if it’s just me but I can tell 8/10 times from seeing a few minutes of someone playing a game (not a vertical slice) if I’ll enjoy it or not
The american education system failed people on how to understand 1-10 rating scale.
Reviewer gives the game i want to do good a good review: "Finally a good review"
Reviewer gives the game I want to good a bad review: "Ah this is bullshit, this reviewer clearly has a vendetta, just can't trust reviewers these days"
@@countryc0unt Did you actually read the screen rant review? or just clowning here for no reason at all.
This smells like Kingdom come deliverance. Small company that attempts a breakthrough with a great game that has some technical issues but it's good qualities surpass the bad ones.
Yup
KCD is one of my favorite games of all time. Absolutely adore it, even with all it's faults.
@@TrippyTheShroom Agreed. Just goes to show how gameplay is more important than graphics, and even performance for the most part.
the 2 cases have not much in common to me, KCD was new cause the medieval historic realism setup was unheard of for a rpg and his mechanics are unique, whereas Wukong is just a classic beat them up rpg, like a god of war
@@hunterboyo so true. This is why I love the EDF series. Fun > graphics any day. I like performance personally though, buttery smooth frame rates are just so pleasing to the eye.
I think the developer purposely not include the map in the game because in the novel my boys were travelling to the west without knowing what dangers lie ahead of them.
Your boys?
@@The.Usurper Yes, *his* boys.
@@The.UsurperYes. Sun Wukong is my man.
@@The.Usurper dont be angry Wukong ain't your homie. He's ours. 🥰
dawg its a video game. If that was the case, elden ring didn't have those surprising moments
I'd like to clarify the issue of game science logos. Game science is referred to as You Ke in Chinese, homonym You Tadpole, which means swimming tadpole. So its logo is actually a tadpole. Therefore, people who are dirty in their hearts think that everything is dirty.
To me, it looked more like a portal of light releasing a lightning bolt, sort of like a great idea sparking in your brain. And since things like light, electricity and having ideas led us to understand the world around us, then I figured it works with the development teams name, Game Science.
我以为那是音符......还真是蝌蚪啊😂😂😂
Lies of p moment ...studio comes out of nowhere and pretty much knocks it out of the park
I love a good underdog story this time of year
Asian devs ftw, they seem MUCH MORE PASSIONATE
Lies of p is very very good. Loved it so much. But for example Stellar Blade was a disappointment for me. Some cool cut scenes and good combat, but very repetitive and dull gameplay and exploration. Only got better in the last act. But it got review similar to Wukong also.
Sure it’s a huge success for first aaa games...but let’s see. I will play day one on ps5 for sure and decide myself
Lies of P was polished on PC launch if I’m not mistaken. And also 30hrs+ . It’ll be another tech demo like Lies tho won’t deny that
Lies of P was just Perfect 👌
I only care about steam reviews tbh. Most game journalists and reviewers nowadays are completely trash, their reviews are mostly dogshit, especially IGN.
Always remember metacritic and dragon age 2.
Can't spell IGNorant without IGN will always be my favorite saying 😂
they are paid reviewers LMAO
Sperm is actually pretty inclusive overall. Anyone here who didn't used to be one?
Dude 😂
exactly my thoughts, female or male, we all start out as sperm and egg.
Where my petridish babies at! 🙌🙌🙌
Gross dude. My parents told me they touched finger tips like ET and then the stork came 9 months later
@@JStack My parents told me I'm a bonus that comes with the purchase of a phone.😄
Cyberpunk got a 9 despite being buggy af, but Black Myth gets an 8.
Most of the issues plagued console versions, not as much on pc. Also cyberpunk maybe was a better game to others . I don’t see why It’s hard to believe 2 complete different games got diffeent reviews
@@jesusblanco7657agree.,. Not only that but the story etc.. of cyberpunk is massive.. etc. and after all the updates dlc tons of people say cyber punk is easily one of the top games every made..
It almost feel cultish at this point that if you dno’t give black myth 10.. you’re evil 😂 game isn’t even out yet… play it before you lick it to death😂
@@npcimknot958 I didn’t include the dlc and all the huge updates I was only referring to the game at launch. But I totally agree with you. Wukong seems to have cultivated a following that takes offense to any criticism of the game. It’s not just on Luke’s videos it’s any review of the game
but，for me 2077 is a really really boring game，boring and short main story，bad fighting scenes，what can be worse？it only has good graphics.
Redfall got a 4 despite being buggy af, but Black Myth gets an 8.
Just to remind you all, in Chinese (Including Taiwan) reviews they don't seem to mention the same degree of severity in terms of bugs or technical issues. So some community members thiught it might be localisation issues (leading to the bugs), and a professional game forum official 游民星空 confirmed its something related to localisations.
@@bryanleubg it’s really only IGN that had issues. they’re clearly biased yet Luke straight faced features their review as unbiased info. what a joke
reviews by gaming journalists? in a country where a movie that depicts china in any negative light wont be shown in theaters?
@@chadwolf3840 To be fair, many media outlets are experiencing performance issues. This is not IGN's problem, it's Game Science's problem.
@@dankim7831 🤣👉🤡 Negative light or no use but moaning and distorting truth journalists? People can talk politics and no such PC FYI, just don't get brainwahsed by your propaganda media. Also, if you don't really like that, you don't need to play BMW.
Chinese journalists are giving the game 10/10. Now I just stop trusting the reviews and play the game for myself. Eventually, liking a game or not depends on the player.
Not everything needs to be diverse because not everything is diverse.
@@benstanfill363 read the review, it was talking about the lack of female NPCs and or characters.
@@Mrwayneps3225 that’s exactly his point wdym
@@Mrwayneps3225 and why we need female NPC's/character in a game where you play as monkey?
@@Mrwayneps3225
and the problem is ??
@@Mrwayneps3225 not needed in everything. If the narrative and vision doesnt need them there is no need to just there to be added there because someone feels triggered.
It's very easy to predict scores when the scale is only from 8 to 10.
I made a fatal mistake…..I preordered with the last of my funds 🥲
so what do you form your opinion from? without anything, I can only say you are racist or something biased.
You sound mad lol. Take a look at Metacriitic multiple 6-7 rated games everywhere
@@DV-ou1yu You sound mad and stupid.
Actuallly true

Very worried about the ps5 version. Huge red flag when a studio just don't send review on console
I predict that (if it exists) the 60 fps mode will run 15-20 fps below target.
The 30 fps mode will be 5-10 fps below the target.
I hope I'm wrong,I want to play the game day one,but it looks like it's not gonna happen
@steven-i6j That is true,but the fact that the developers did not give review codes for the ps5 and have not shown any ps5 footage leaves me worried and prepared for the worst...
@@nitroblogs3539That's why I didn't pre-order the game. Honestly I'll give it a month or 2 before playing. Day one performance has been a problem lately.
You have no idea how console optimization works and how is that different from PC. Shut up bro. You have red flags all over your face
Ps5 review codes go out in a couple days

Funny how many of the same reviewers brushed aside the technical issues on the Star Wars Outlaws dumpster fire but all dinged Black Myth for technical. Also Luke taking an IGN review serious is entertaining. As if the IGN guy didn’t have an agenda.
@@chadwolf3840 funny how they also caused a big fuss abt the performance issues for dragons dogma 2 yet ignored the performance issues bg3 and elden ring had at launch.
@@chadwolf3840 he’s totally sold out not the same reviewer he used to be
Lol that's the only criticism elden ring had from reviewers at launch. It absolutely wasn't ignored on the contrary it was magnified cause that's the only one aspect they could criticise
Outlaws is not out yet, wukong is. I assume the same tech issue criticism will be applied upon release
@@mrstealyofries5456 Hahahahahahahahahaha.
I'm glad he isn't captured by his audience.
I don't mean to argue, but there is a piece of news that when providing testing, Game Science provided a testing guide, and IGN did not make some basic settings according to this guide, which led to problems with the localized language and some other bugs. No other media has encountered as many bugs as IGN
I wouldn't say localization was not done, but perhaps not implemented at the time they sent out the test version. I mean, when everyone was rushing for deadly, I doubt anyone would say "we need the localization done or people will hate our game".
Gameranx review basically made me lean toward buying it. But I’m waiting for skill up.
he said he didn't get a code and also he is going te be away when the game launches. So he is probably not going to review it.
Shill up really? 💀
Shill up didn't get a code, cuz his circle decided to blacklist the game.
@@linghaozhang4076 Skill Up also didnt played and review Hogwarts Legacy. Now I see the patern.
@@linghaozhang4076 That's not ture, gameranx and skillup have a weekly podcast together. They are definitely in the same "circle". And gameranx got a review code.
I'm 90% sure DENOVU hindered the Performance. Just Remove it and see the Magic 😅
@@George-um2vc if it has denuvo good luck waiting anywhere from 2 years - never to play the cracked version lmao denuvo is just next to impossible to crack that fast
@@hadomatsu in reality i remember empress gave hogwarts lagacy 10 days , she saif you add denuvo , i'll crack it in 10 days , and she did , RE4 also was fast , but unfortunatly she quit or take a long pause , so yeah nobody crack devovu beside her , so its the end for cracking games
Lies of P also used DENOVU.
Maybe because of UE5
@@alaa341gbut that’s becuase they were really protesting against hogwarts.
Thats why they cracked it so fast..
The most difficult task of translating this game is that even top translators find it difficult, because ancient Chinese and modern Chinese have greatly changed from current Chinese, and current Chinese cannot express the artistic conception of ancient Chinese. Many text contents, including lines, in this game will come from Chinese classical literary works, not just from Journey to the West. These are very difficult for Chinese people to understand.
just bad storytelling. Your chinese can learn from the Japanese
An 82 was in my expectations range but it’s hilarious to see games get Harped on for performance while others get a free pass
The only game that got harshly done on performance prior, was probably daysgone. That game ended up being a masterpiece.
Progress impeding bugs aren't performance.
tbh, playing this game with the Chinese dialog could be more immersive and has more impact than playing it with English dialog.
For me, Games are more memorable when i play them in their original state (Except M&K settings and Motion Blur)
yeah nobody in China wants to play an English or Japanse game in those languages, they'll play it in the Chinese dub. Always play in your native language if possible. It's not immersive if you can't understand what is being said.
@@sparhawk2195 true i dont understand what they are saying, but still, for me subtitles is enough. Example of this is Anime, watching it Subbed is more enjoyable than dubbed most of the time. I bet you the Chinese VA performance will be better than the English.
Never understood subtitles. You gotta read the words, taking your eyes off the scene, most people entirely miss visual cues. Most of human communication is based off of visual cues. Face and body gestures. Body language. Their mood. All missed if you're reading subtitles. If an actor is good in their scene, I'd rather focus on facial structure and body language communication if I don't speak their language.
I get ya but reading subs just feels so annoying.
@@dkoykoala1488 sometimes yes. Don't get me wrong. When it becomes annoying that i am missing key information about the story, I change to English immediately.
36:17 "The KING'S college?? Ohh GOOD HEAVENS" 😂😂😂😂😂 magnificent
BG3 had a decent bit of bugs in Act 3 and its lauded as one of the best games ever made. I think it'll depend on the severity of the bugs that the reviewers have mentioned at the latter half of the game.
I dropped the game at act 3 because performance was trash
@@inuclearpickle8628 I don't think it was ever that bad for me personally but I definitely had some frame drops and graphical glitches
Comparing a game where you can put hundreds of hours into just the first two acts with a game that can be beaten in 12-15 hours doesn't really make much sense to me.
Bugs that literally corrupt the entire save file is pretty severe, wouldn't you say?
One of the best quotes I’ve ever seen was, “there was just no way EVERYONE was kung fu fighting.”
*everybody. Yes Im that guy and No, Im No fun at parties.
@@Syldarin bros mad at memes lol
getting a physical part killed me
@@JorgeSeguraArt Funnier to me personally since I just got my first one in like a decade at 31 like a month ago 🤣
Baldurs gate act 3 had a lot of performance and bug even breaking some quests. Still one of my favorite games sounds like this game will still be great to play
Really, i never came across any tbh. Although i did play it a month after release
Bg3 also was in early access and didn't refuse access or have embargos on their game. Not the same thing really and I find it interesting we're in a position where we let the same thing happen again of people letting hype overtake reasonable concern
@@draconiansoul7570 BG3 EA did not include act 3 (only act 1), and the further you got into the game the worse it performed, and it was absolutely largely ignored. Not to dismiss anything that might be happening here, but rather to say it was also happening in other games where it was ignored. Either score all games with this in mind, or ignore the performance in review scores and mention the issues
@@sultanjelle9168 They fixed over a thousand bugs within a month after it released. You can check the patch notes if you want to verify my statement.
Bg3 and black myth are completely different games. When fighting bosses, frames really matter, and frame drops ruin the encounter.
People are pretending 80 is a bad score for a game which is the funniest thing about this
80 for a big title is mediocre. 90+ means good
@@reijhinru1474 no it doesn’t
It's like people forget it's a 1-10 scale and stopped counting at 6 or 7. A true 8 represents near excellence. There are real mediocre games out there and the problem is they're so often inflated to a 6/7 instead of 4/5 that represents mediocre to poor. Too many 7's.
Interesting how elden ring has most these problems and yet it’s a “10/10”. Storytelling their is mid and confusing aswell
Fromsoft is the most overrated studio in history. At least past overrated studios actually made an interesting variety of games. I'm so sick of hearing the term "souls-like." Such loser mentality to want everything to be a Demon Souls copy/paste with a different name.
What did you expect? If you don’t give fromsoft games 10/10 you get ridiculed for years. It honestly seems like something similar is happening with wukong.

You haven’t even played the game and you’re complaining about the rating . What kind of possible informed opinion on it could you have.
its marketed around george rr martin tats y~and western media is always bias against china~
5:21 that physical joke got me 😂
that ending was superb.
You're dead on about the function of art in society and overall, the progression of humanity.
It's fascist to censor art because of your own ideologies, especially when acting in bad faith.
Always has been.

END-STAGE CAPITALISM BAY-BEE
LFGGGGGGGGGG
I read the end of that as Looking For Group lol.
"They're sexist because their logo looks like a sperm" is an interesting take. It says "sperm = men", which is usually considered the original sin by their own ilk...
But "It's OK when we do it" i guess
These people are impossible to please. Where are they going to include more diverse characters? You can only play one character as the story is about him. Imagine the uproar if the main protagonist ( A male Monkey king) ran around the whole game beating up female and trans characters. They'd complain about that even more.
They want the main character to be a trans Monkey, “journey to the test”, not what we got.
That is a good point😂
Wukong isn't even really male he was born out of a rock that's been beaten by wind and rain (can't say anything about the game protagonist tho maybe they're wukong maybe not)
I swear westerns should stop existing
I remember there is several spider lady demon on one of the trailer and also Snake demon lady.
I'm not sure she finished the game when doing the review
Reading the reviews you just know which reviewers were punching the air seeing the astronomical success of this game.
"A beautiful if slightly boring boss rush" is what made this a "wait for a sale" for me
IF you want to support a small studio with ambition go with Black Myth.
If you analogize reviewing a game to doing detective work, theyre doing it backwards.
They had a conclusion and looked for evidence to support their conclusion.
Simple confirmation bias.
Way cool.
Localization is usually the very last phase.
If translations are not done, the game literally isn’t finished. Perhaps it was pushed out last minute.
It’s called Denuvo
I already pre-ordered it. I couldn’t wait. 3 DAYS until I get to be Monkee😄
Same picked up the digital deluxe edition Friday. Gonna have to hold off playing til after the launch so they can help smooth out issues.
Preordering a game from an unknown studio
@@noamias4897 yup
Never pre-order
@@eurothejii7328 i think will not listen
That happens. I heard people had issues with star wars survivors after reaching curtain locations.
This game is not for casual gamers it's for pro gamers it's hard and unforgiving confusing skills that do not explain it well it's hard and it is souls like
Probably the real public will Score 9.0
Regarding the Shadow of the Erdtree comparison, think of Sekiro as a stand-in for Wukong.
In Elden Ring you can brute force pretty much anything with some cheesy ass build but in Sekiro you basically have no choice but to master the mechanics.
Action games were always more difficult than Soulslikes imo, compare Ninja Gaiden Black/Sigma to Demon's Souls.
I went from so psyched to kinda worried about playing on my PS5 now
I see all these reviews and I'm bout it, so I pre-order on ps5. Immediately after hitting the button I see there's no ps5 reviews. 😩 might be another month before it's worth playing
I wouldn’t worry too much, keep an eye out for the ps5 review tho
I think it will actually perform better on PS5 because on PC there is the denuvo, if you didn't know Lords of the Fallen had problems at lunch on PC because of denuvo but it didn't have bugs and problems on PS5 at least not for me.
@hall6913 ya same here bro! Another reminder i shouldn't preorder games
That why you dont pre order man@@hall6913
Thank you Luke, will hold off buying this until we get a proper PS5 review and player comments... As always great info gathered from your clips... keep it up boss!
Imagine wanting a game based on Chinese myth, to resemble downtown Los Angeles.
I wonder if these companies don't have most of the bugs when they test it, because the game is built on their systems. So they run perfectly, but when they launch, there are so many different pc builds and so many console variations, software, hardware and products in player's systems, that they can't or don't detect what could go wrong pre-launch. Maybe they can only know if a bug exists after they put it out into the world on unfamiliar systems. Then they analyze the crash reports and begin to repair the bugs at that point. Im not giving these companies a way out, but in all fairness there are millions of possible variations of users and in the days of yester-year, almost all systems were limited to a few consoles, a few video cards and a few types of pc builds. Thoughts?
If game journalists say:
The game is good = the game is bad
The game is bad = the game is good
The game is problematic = Masterpiece
I guess Rise of Kong and Gollum are great games.
@@humanbeing418 no, just bad games with devs who aren't scummy enough to bribe reviewers

@@Vynne96-jg7er Elden ring and baldur’s gate 3 are bad games and redfall and gollum are good games?
For those chinese.. saying ‘ oh you dont get the references etc..’
I’m chinese too.. it’s the games, movies, tv shows , books job to do that.
A good game does it well.. gods of war.. great example.. ghost of Tsushima.. final fantasy ( an entire functional universes).. it’s your job.. to tell the story.. you have references.. than do a good job with it.. its not up to the new audience you’re trying to reach to nkow all this.. other wise there is no point releasing it to peple you think won’t ’get the references’.
Deadpool not everyone will get the references.. and it still did a good job.. great job actaully.
If the game is good it’s good.
If the game relies on you knowing the lore.. and you’re blaming the player.. ok.. thats a big red flag for me
i dont think they are blaming the player for not knowing the backstory to fully enjoy it. but its true that the intensity of enjoyment will vary if u already have previous experience or understanding. of the story and culture. and no 1 is blaming anything about this. but where u are correct is that u can't throw all the responsibility to the players who had zero experience or knowledge with the story and culture. but i like to think since we all know it, the creators should know it too. i mean its fairly obvious. its their job to satisfy both native and world audiences. in other words, they just gotta put a blend of their best authentic chinese dishes + your best Panda express style dish into the complete meal, and both native and non native will enjoy this meal to the fullest.
Isn't that what Jedi survivor did 😂 the devs had the game polished in the begining then after 2 hours it started to get really rough performance wise. And to my understanding they did that so you're past the 2 hour return window with steam, epic , etc....😂
Even the intro mission was bugged out for me, and I played like a month after launch
BG3 did this too.
@@mattandrews2594 i doubt that, everything else sure but not BG3
mainly because act 1 is not 2 hours long, it gets as long as 60 hours if you do everything
@@noahsylvester1754 Yes they did, there is categorical evidence that Larian cut content from Act 3, while simultaneously relying on the goodwill from the first two acts for positive reviews.
@@mattandrews2594 And BG3 was hardly the first game in which they did this. That's why they'd do Definitive Editions like a year later, bcos they buy time to finish up their Act 3s.
Heck, look at Karlach's storyline, the fans had to demand for it to be finished, so that became a priority for Larian.
I only trust Steam reviews, like every other person out there, game critics dont know the first thing about games.
Everytime Jorraptor says "Lock it in" unironicly he is correct 💀💀
Jorraptor is an absolute moron and a Ubisimp
It's rigged! Lol
So, as predicted, this isn't the sure shot GOTY, the GoW killer, the greatest thing since sliced bread that everyone hyped it to be. It's just a good game.
Hoping ps5 verison is fine , don't want another cyberpunk deal again . At least this time I didn't take a 2 week paid vaction for it ( learned my lesson )
My soul hurt reading that , Wished it dropped in the state it's in at the moment I waited all this time it was on sale and the game is fucking amazing
This was one of my most anticipated games this year. I'm glad to hear the core gameplay/story/characters/animations are solid. Bugs can be fixed. It's annoying and shouldn't be released in that state, but it is still fixable. I'll keep an eye on it and wait for them to work out the kinks.
Act Man mentioned.
38:29 The irony of this taste is downright hilarious🤣🤣🤯
One of my most anticipated already sounds kinda goated
Were you watching the video?
its about a monkey actually
That pinky had me burst in laughter 😂😂 thank you Luke, for being you, the most entertaining man of your craft ❤
I was super hyped for this game since the original anouncement, but the fact they never released a demo and the game not launching physical until november i decided to wait for now as i always buy this type of games for my PS5 just in case if it's not my cup of tea i could at least re-sell it.
i think i read somewhere they are releasing a demo shortly after launch. On a side note, getting a pc benchmark was great, but a playable demo is always better.
With regards to technical issues other than performance. The IGN review cited falling through the map after boss transitions multiple times. That alone would dock a point off for me, as I am not fan of losing a boss fight over things beyond my control.
Souls like fans shouldn’t get butt hurt about anything anyone has to say about this game cause it’s not a souls like at all…And I’m so happy it’s not cause souls games are played out.
Finally someone who gets it 👍
Personally we can always use more but not every action oriented game needs one. there is only a handful that are decent because most of them try to Mimic Fromsoftware too hard.
Lies of P is about the only one that really did their homework.
I'm glad the game isn't a souls like because in theory it just didn't need to be one for what they were trying to do.
I’ve actually watched you and Jor Raptor’s channels for about the same amount of time…. Probably 6ish years. I think (might be wrong, it was a long time ago now) I discovered you both around a similar time when I returned to gaming again in early 2018.
However despite you both making gaming related content… you tend to do high quality long run-time analysis and opinion pieces and the occasional reviews….
Whereas I’ve watched tons of guides, tips, don’t make my mistake, find this early, and review videos on Jor Raptor’s channel.
You both have your own niche and I hope your review guessing challenge at the start of the video was all in good fun great for helping to promote eachother content by mentioning it.
It's funny how souls-like has become a boogeyman term in the industry.
yes because everyone and their mom decides to do it and they just become knock-offs of fromsoft games (Lies of P is the only decent one ive played)
I'm so sick of souls-likes.
@@Neldog13 that's because lies of P is the only decent one that exists, everyone else who's ever tried doesn't understand why those games are fun so their products end up looking and playing like the fake video games you see in movies and TV shows
@@PlazDreamweaver the easiest fix for that is to not play them
Keep the boogeymans coming
I also heard that many of the technical issues are a problem with the PC's Region. Apparently, if it's China/Chinese, most of the bugs don't appear. The untranslated text one seems to point to that. Something that they should have tested more before giving review codes out but more easy to fix at least.
Still no PS5 reviews or footage
I have a bad feeling about the Playstation version
Nothing updates cant help @jamesburke9680
Means it's best to wait. Hopefully it is just technical and can be fixed.
If ps5 performance is bad I wonder how bad Xbox was since that was delayed
@@inuclearpickle8628 I'm sure it was s not series x. Series x Typically series x runs unreal 5 games better. It's just Microsoft doesn't allow series x versions of game to release alone. So if series s not ready x has to wait until it s is ready. I can wait I'm not buying this on ps5
A game, or any other creation, doesn't "need" to have anything other than what the creator(s) want. It will rise or fall on its merits. No harpy journo has the right to dictate otherwise.
No PS5 reviews.
When was the last time this happened?
Oh yeah Ciberpunk 😑
I see a huge red flag here
the last time with only one time and different company😊
@@KDYinRUclips We'll find out soon enough, hopefully I'm wrong but you gotta admit this is not a good sign.
@@KDYinRUclipsthat’s pure copium

@@The.Usurper autocorrector 🤷
I just wanna state that any reviewer should state their full specs... Think about all the game over the last 2 years that were crashing due to Intels issues
game looks cool sure, but never a good sign when no console gameplay is shown.
it must be hard having to make your game worse so it can fit on a dinky little console like the playstation 5
@@noahsylvester1754haha that’s funny, most games run far better on ps5 that pc anyway. “Pc master race” 🤡
@@noahsylvester1754 just don’t release on console then? They made the decision…
@@Primalham-pz2iz do you know why they run well on PS5? because the games have to be stripped of features and visual effects until the PS5 can run them at an appropriate framerate
@@FabuBrik it's all about the money for most game devs, the more platforms your game is on the more money you get
TBF Cyberpunk for PS5 ran near perfect. problems mostly existed on PS4 and PC
basically a boss rush but with actually good combat. ill probably wait for it to go down to about half price and for denuvo to be removed, should be a solid pick up at that point.
When the Last of Us PII reviews were coming out I remember ppl defending Naughty Dogs "Only footage from this point," decision. Only to flip later with CDPR enfocring the same embargo with CP2077. It always feels like they're trying to hide something. Especially if they're doing it for "story" purposes.
Certain articles have resorted to slander in an attempt to attack the company. There's a legal term for certain articles bringing up baseless claims of Game Science's toxic work culture. It's called conjecture and that is also grounds for defamation.
I’ve been looking forward to this game all year. Planned on picking it up for my birthday. Now I’m weary because I’d be playing it on PS5.
One thing I haven’t heard reviewers discuss is the music, anyone know what the consensus is? Does the game have ambient tracks?
yes, there is a long list of bgms
@@Shaneindeit has ambient tracks too?
@@Mohgenstein well in the game there are locations where you can sit down and meditate and enjoy the scenery, so ambient music is definitely there
I am a Chinese. Let me explain, because the music part of this game is a very important part of the game, which has been included in the confidentiality agreement, including the cut scenes animation, background music, and game science, which are required not to be disclosed, and players are expected to get the best experience
Im playing on ps5 on performance mode and have a blast, a few frame dips here and there but not enough to be a big issue for me personally
A lot of game journalists have been whining about the devs so its probably going to be a great game.
its getting decent scores but i wouldnt call it great. If you think its great just because you disagree with discourse then youre just as bad as people that think a decent game sucks just cause you dont like the devs.
Well generally when game journos complain about sth it usually doesn't matter because what they're complaining about is political therefore irrelevant to the game's quality
@@shanidirk7079 if you're a "journalist" with an agenda you will grab onto anything to shit on the game you despise. Thus, if the technical issues were so egregious they would've harped on it extensively and given it a worse score.
@@shanidirk7079 How is an 8 out of 10 "decent"?
That is a GOOD score.
The american education system failed people on how to understand 1-10 rating scale.
@@BayernManager no offense to americans but man at this rate all o yall are losing yall marbles. pick up a book and become a leader instead of following naked men and women in parades
To be honest, to those critics, do they review the game base on how they want this game to be? how ridiculous!
Day one patch incoming.
I feel there is so much more to this game than what the reviewer leads us ti believe. If we are going to call this ART then lets review the ART. Everyrhing about this game seems very rich and fantastical. They complaint is that you cant wonder off into the woods and find a pamphlet /scroll with a bit of lure that you wont remember 5 secs later? No women until chapter 2 you are a monkey that has a numerous amount of transformations you cant mention 1.
The fact that they aren't giving out PS5 review codes is a very big red flag
They are doing ps5 codes just slightly later.
@@danroe3310 the game is out in a couple days. Wait til the day before or day of?
They don’t gotta give yall Jack shit and I also don’t see how that a red flag did u get ps5 code for Spider-Man 2 or helldivers or Gow yeah I don’t think so
@@TurkishQuandaledingle. your comment is so unbelievably stupid it actually baffles me. Why don't you use your brain? If a game company refuses to give out review codes, then it means that there's a good chance that they're trying to hide something about it that they don't want people to know before the game releases. That's what CD projekt Red did for cyberpunk 2077 on last gen consoles.
@@TurkishQuandaledingle. wow. You sound like a series s owner. Of course they don't have to give anyone anything but it is good business to show the Gane running on each platform it's on. Every peice of Spiderman 2 was running on ps5 so se already knew what it looked like moron. People want to see a game before they buy it.
Bugs can be fixed, so essentially the game is a 9-10 which is amazing
Let's go!
From what I can recall PC problems are usually more prominent than console. So I hope the PS5 version runs better.
Sorry, It was gonna be a day one. I knew it wasn't a souls like with no regular mob enemies. I think the exploration is gonna be lacking. I'm waiting for acg review first. But I do love Jake, though.
Yea, you dont want to be in a act man hot takes video, it ruins careers man you know who I'm talking about.
I really don't like the fact that it is a boss rush game. Yes, the best part of a fromsoft game is the boss fights, but there are a lot of other factors that make their games special, and I think this will will fail at some of them
@@roycrowley2674 yeah. It’s a bummer for me also. I wanted some level design stuff going on at least…
@roycrowley2674 I disagree with you
Acg did an early impression and he said ‘ it’s not a souls like.. which he didn’t mind or open world - so that is really important for those that really want tht. He said it’s kinda rpg but not really when it comes to ‘ upgrading, customizing etc.. it’s more basic. He said it is a bit grindy ( which is something I personally don’t’ like but other do.. just ike peope like Elden ring( but i like point and clicks lol ).. it’s important to hear this stuff..
He did also mention bugs were a problem but didn’t take off points for that
I'm so glad they held back the Xbox version, they wanted to make sure the game was up to their standards. 💚
The bots are really fast.
I like story to carry me through. I prefer that over beat to beat souls-like combat. This looks capable and very pretty in its genre.
I don't like the fact there has not been any reviews for Playstation 5 yet. I was going to get this day one, I am going to hold off.
Gonna start playing sexist and exclusive games out of spite at this point, seriously exhausting to constantly hear things are sexist and not inclusive from people who are Twitter addicted with no life experiences.
For ppl who worried about ps5 version. Yall have no idea how optimization works on PS5 and how is that different from PC
@@blasphemousred5679 what you're saying makes zero sense. It doesn't validate waiting until that last minute. If more time for optimization was needed, the release date should have been pushed.
@@phillystevesteak6982 how much you wanna bet?

@@phillystevesteak6982 they just released a ps5 game play video. Go check it yourself
Supposedly there's some funny business in the license agreement for this game, specifically regarding streamers
I’m assuming you’re referring to the Quantum TV review of Elden Ring when you say people that don’t like that game don’t want to end up in an Act Man video. But the issue there wasn’t necessarily the review, it was the fact that this guy, who turned out to be a bigot, was trying to silence criticism. Act Man only got involved because the situation escalated to the point that Quantum TV wasn’t facing consequences for his shenanigans.
Honestly, I’m not too worried about the performance issues. The game looks like it’s really pushing UE5 to its limits, so it’s kinda expected. Plus, with next-gen GPUs coming soon, performance won’t be a big deal for long.
As for the technical issues, those can be patched. Hopefully, the day one patch will smooth things out. Sure, I wish they had taken a bit more time to polish it up because this game could’ve been a 9.5/10 or even a 10/10, maybe even GOTY. But hey, I’m also rooting for Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 to take the GOTY spot, so I’m torn!
