Black Myth Wukong Anonymous 04/20/2025 (Sun) 18:44:20 Id: 941cec No. 1179931
Is monkey game any good? CCP shills and bots hyped this game up on 4/v/ and then disappeared a week after release, I still don't know anything about it. Character action? Roll slop? Something else?
>>1179931 It's mid
its woke
I have zero interest in Chinese mythology about a single monkey guy who's be overused in so many games already. That's why I didn't buy it, don't post about it, and don't advertise for it.
I don't have modern gaymen machine, so I can't play it. The monkey man's voice is ridiculous though, they really went for it but Idk man he sounds terrible
Starting to get real tired of black people as protagonists in chink games
>>1179931 it was at the center of a retarded culture war, the game is just ok but it has impressive production values. Play if you like action games, but its a 7/10
>>1182188 It's more of an ARPG than an action game.

>>1179931 I played it, its alright but not worth full price. You could find similar games that I'm sure are a lot better, cheaper, and have a lot of replay value. Most of the fights have you spamming your weak as shit light attacks to build up meter so you can use your big dick charged heavy attacks. Lots of abusing just dodges or whatever abilities you decide to build around. I went with Cloud of Many or some shit, basically makes clones that copy you. This game frustrated the hell out of me. My number one complain being they want you to explore but have no map. Sure no problem, but at least make the fucking areas distinct enough that I'm not constantly getting fucking lost. You can miss a lot of stuff this way, stuff that eventually leads to the true ending. Also lot of fights felt like straight up bullshit, and I only really liked the Tigers and the final boss*. Now THAT was a fight I was satisfied with, but it wasn't the true final boss, and I was burnt out by then. The story felt like it was just a highlight reel for people that are familiar with the myth already, but it was still cool from a spectacle point of view. I liked the pig guy the most, he's also the only real consistent character that sticks around for the game. The MC doesn't speak which sucks cause I was hoping to play as smug monkey king. I forgot a lot of my issues with the game but this is what stuck with me.
>>1182304 Game seemed made by actually retarded chuds to me so I didn't get it. Your post confirms what I suspected. I liked Lies of P though in the same genre
It's on the weaker side of the souls clones, i think of it as chinese lords of the fallen. Same derivative crap.
>>1179931 I had a lot of fun with monkey chink adventures. I was skeptical years ago but interested so I waited for a couple months to see if it was worth it. It had a lot of soul with the environment, music, and chink lore. The gameplay is standard dark souls roll shit. The story itself is hard to follow since I guess they assume you to know the original story more. Level design is gets really vast in a maze like way with a lot of invicible walls, making navigation often unintuitive. I stopped playong for a long while due to the middle part sort of being daunting. Chink voice made then dialogue hard to understand, but whenever I watch it with the english voice I surprisingly understood what they meant better despite it being the same reading of the subtitles. That said I felt that they tried to treat the original source material with great autistic respect which I enjoyed. Overall, I welcome the development of more higher effort chink games. Even their mobile-tier slop devs have been trying in this new wave with stirnova, marvel rivals, mechabreak, wild assualt, various dark souls copycats, etc. It's like they're scatter shotgunning into the market on what appeals and trying to cash in. God knows there's been a vacuum of demand for a lot of stuff they've been attempting. Will pick up chink adventures 2.0 with their next release.
Oh look, yet another Chinese adaptation of "Journey to the West" How unsurprising
>>1179931 problem is how it only has ONE fucking weapon, with maybe like 3 variations, so the combat is repetitive as FUCK. Sure you can transform for a lil while but yea it's overrated. a decent 7/10 like most ppl say here, it's overhyped by all the chinkzoids tho
>>1179931 Your answer was in your question. It's not a videogame. It's just another piece of propaganda.
>>1179931 Amazing visuals, middling gameplay, decent first effort from a new studio. Hopefully they learn from it and spend some of the mountain of cash they earned back into making something better with a deeper combat system that isn't yet another journey to the west.
>>1179931 Why that monkie have bitties?
>>1198820 Female primates tend to have tits when they're pregnant or just gave birth. Humans are the only ones whose females always have tits no matter what their situation. Images like that remind me that we're just animals at the end of the day, and it makes me feel somewhat grossed out and disappointed in our sexual urges. We have the potential to gain absolute mastery over our solar system with continued research and development over the coming millennia but part of us will always be dumb apes no matter what.
>>1198918 >Humans are the only ones whose females always have tits no matter what Thank God for that
>>1179931 Very soulful, but like a solid 7/10 soulslop otherwise
>>1198918 >look at me le volcel sex is so gross we could be gods but sex ew :( Get fucked, mate. We won't conquer the universe just because we can, but because we want to fuck everything in this universe. And if there's nothing to fuck out there, we're staying on this planet. You better hope an alien specieis finally meets us or we'll just blow ourselves up again and repeat the cycle until we do.
If you're only gonna fight enemies and finish the game as soon as possible, then it's a 7/10. If you're actually interested in the whole lore and mythology of the game then it's a 9/10. The game has a lot of soulful elements that a lot of ADHD zoomers ignore, such as hand drawn entries for every single enemy you encounter in your journey, along with a backstory of how they became to be, and a little poem to summarize it all. There are some kino cutscenes/mini animations between every chapter that give a backstory to the main character of the chapter you just finished. The NPCs are quite likeable and the story is nice. You only have one weapon in the game, the monkey stick. However, the monkey stick has 3 different stances and each stance has its own combos and utilities (for example: smash stance allows you to charge your heavy attack while sprinting, making you play more aggressive, while pole stance lets you climb your stick all the way to the top, dodging some enemy attacks). The best part about the game is that you can respec for free at any time right from the menu, so you can adapt your stances to the enemy ar hand and it makes the game feel more varied in a sense. It's a pretty fun game imo, you should definitely give it a shot if it's on sale (assuming you're on the fence).
It's the greatest 7.5 out of 10 ever made.

>>1198918 Bruh. The jannies deleted the monkey tit picture. Cucked behavior on their part, real disappointing ngl. Here it is again for reference.
>>1198918 >somewhat grossed out and disappointed in our sexual urges >part of us will always be dumb apes Why do zoomers have this perverse anti-sex attitude? What is their reasoning Evidently we are not "dumb apes" since human women are much more sexually available than female apes - always have tits, sex not limited to a breeding season. So perhaps women gaining gigantic tits is an important step in >gaining absolute mastery over our solar system as you say. Think about it. Large brains require high energy food for newborns. That means milk, and lots of it. The more intelligent a sapient species, the larger will be their female's tits.
I don’t know why people keep depicting Wukong with this weird semihuman face. Either give him a fully monkey face or give him a fully human one. It just looks creepy when you try merging the two together.

>>1179931 It was a lot of fun honestly probably the best game I played in 2024, I don't care about chink mythology either but the game was just very well done
>>1179931 I thought it was pretty good overall. It's an action adventure game with the adventure part being particularly good in my opinion. Lots of cool mythology and the combat is simple but still fun. It uses a lock-on but it really doesn't play much like Dark Souls at all.
>>1179931 It's a very solid and polished game but that's it. The graphics are great, it runs great, has no bugs (that I encountered), some cool environmental interaction with leaves and snow, and smooth animations. There's a clear level of effort and soul put into the game by the developers. Just this alone puts it above the typical AAA game the west shits out. But the actual gameplay itself is mediocre and uninspiring. You only have 1 weapon and a very limited moveset. The MC is silent and the world feels kind of dead. You don't even play as the actual smug and cocky Wukong but some crappy silent clone. The game is a very solid 7.5/10, 8/10 if you want to push it. It does nothing wrong, everything right, but nothing great to elevate it to greatness. It's a bit of a shame, since I really wanted to like the game, and to see a new emerging field of game devs, even if they're from China. Competition is what we need since western devs and Japan are dropping the ball lately.

>>1237401 For sure and yeah its not really a dark souls-like or whatever at all, in fact you don't even lose souls or an equivalent when you die and the combat just has a very different fast paced feel. Also some of the transformations are pretty OP like the yellow long with the stagger and being able to parry(which stores charges that deal pretty good damage for a transformation)
>>1237462 I liked the yin tiger a lot but mostly all of the transformations were fun. Combat in Wukong was weird, it starts out extremely basic at first but it starts to grow on you as you play and fill out the stances and gain more tools. It's still not a game with some fighting game tier combo list for people that want that but you definitely do have some interesting stuff going on. I liked the punch monk spirit guy that had a different attack after each phase of the normal combo.
>60USD at launch >Less than 50h of average playtime on Steam, months later. As a rule of thumb if you are paying more than 1USD/hour, you got ripped. Big time. It's bad.
No
Didn't have much cultural staying power it would seem. But that's true of most vidya these days.
>>1179931 It's locked behind Denuvo so we will never know until it's free on Timmystore or something
All these CCP shills holy shit
