Black Myth Wukong Explained by Native Chinese, The ONLY video you need before play it.

[@loC2ol]

I’ve played games in Nordic, Japanese, Egyptian, and countless European mythology’s (Polish, Greek, Italian, British etc). So pumped to explore this classic Ancient Chinese tale!!!

[@bingtalksofficial]

@@loC2ol yeah, this is quite fresh for many😊

[@AlmidarMadowe]

European mythology really? What games had those in except some references? Would love to play some

[@PHATT_TV]

@@bingtalksofficialFantastic video 👏!!! I’m a small channel too & im so happy for your immense views & success recently! Once you get monetised these videos will pay off. PS. Thank you 🙏 for reminding me of my childhood (I’m 41) watching “Monkey Magic” every week on TV…..fantastic adaptation of Journey to the West. Why don’t you try breaking down mythology of Monkey Magic (After you can extract Black Myth fully) . I think great move & anything Black Myth related while hype is huge

[@loC2ol]

@@AlmidarMadowe Witcher 3 is chock full of incredible Polish and Eastern European mythology mixed with many classic Germanic Brothers Grim fairy tales. Anything Lord of the Rings related I would count as British or classic western fantasy at this point. Tolkien has done so much heavy lifting for Western Fantasy over the past 100 years. AC Odyssey (and OG God of War series) and Origins for Greek and Egyptian respectively. New God of War series for Nordic Ghost of Tsushima and Rise of the Ronin for Japanese (they are set in two different but both awesome periods of Japanese history)

[@tl2402]

​@@loC2ol Yes, Tolkien of course is counted as western "fantasy", but it's not "mythology" per se.

I recommend the Book(s) to any reader. It is a true marvel of literature. After having read the lengthier version of this fable epic 20yrs ago I immediately wished for a game based on it. The waiting paid off 😊

[@talkingmudcrab718]

If you don't want to read the entire thing, the abridged version translated by Anthony C. Yu is really good. Still 500+ pages though 😁

[@DBT1007]

nah. sadly the book is doing its own story. fantasizing what happen after the monkey got punished in the stone.

[@Huda88754]

I listented to the audio book 2 days before the game released, good to know the back story

[@Dubya_rx]

Happy to see China getting good cultural representation in gaming. This game has me wanting to read Journey to the West, and learn more about China.

[@talkingmudcrab718]

For my fellow Westerners/English speakers - If you're interested in reading "Journey to the West" but you don't want to read a "War and Peace" length book I highly recommend "The Monkey and the Monk" which is an abridged translation by Anthony C. Yu who translated what is widely regarded as the best English translation of the original "Journey to the West." I just finished it a few days before the game came out and I can say it is a really fun read. Those old Chinese monks could really whip up a good tale and still holds up today like the Lord of the Rings. The language and flow is a bit more "Silmarillion" though, but if Tolkien had a really dirty and boyish sense of humor. I highly recommend reading it, especially if you enjoyed the game. You'll immediately probably want to replay it so you can pick up on all the many references in the game. Nice video btw.

[@JahonCross]

This is well formatted for English speaking, thank you for making this😊

[@joshua.r999]

Beautiful video, cant wait to watch the whole series. All the other videos that wanted to explain black myth wukong lacked seriousness and calmness. Thank you!

So glad I watched this video, the game is AMAZING but this video took it to the next level. Even the insights on the developers triumph added to it as well! Thanks for making this bro!!

[@bingtalksofficial]

Thank you, I'll make more videos about this game😄

[@shannonbrocas9408]

Thanks for sharing a thorough explanation of Wukong & Journey To The West. :) I’ve always had a love for Chinese Mythology and Culture, I was lucky enough to visit China not long ago with my partner who is Chinese, I visited my partners hometown in Hubei and It was incredible experience to me, Such a deep history and beautiful country. Black Myth is a masterful work of art that truly captures the mystical beauty of China and its Mythology in a way that nothing else has really done. All that said, my only wish is it wasn’t so damn hard! >~< haha

[@bingtalksofficial]

haha i've heard many complaining about the difficulty. Perhaps Game science need to modify the game a bit

[@emotionalintelligence776]

@@bingtalksofficial Nope, the game is fine. People need to git gud, lol, its not Elden ring difficult so Wukong is already far more forgiving upfront. But it is meant to teach you the game and decide a playstyle that isnt just about button smashing. I have 600 mods on my Cyberpunk game, with Wukong it doesnt need anything that isnt already there, its as close to a masterpiece as we honestly deserve.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the narrative behind such an amazing game. It's good to have perspective as one enters into a story such as this. Otherwise it could be either confusing or you end up missing the greater message of the story. I just started playing Black Myth: Wukong last night and will say it is all the things you mentioned. I will also say the various bosses I've encountered so far are challenging. Again, I'm only at the very beginning, but the game tests your skill and resolve from the start. I've sure there are others who have found it to easy and that's fantastic! I think for the average player, I would say, "Buckle up! It's gonna be a challenging and crazy ride!"

[@bingtalksofficial]

It's such a mind-blowing insight that 猪八戒 was called 天蓬元帅，and 沙悟净 was 卷帘大将，and what their actual jobs are... one is the umbrella holder for the Jade Emperor, and another one is curtain holder when the Jade Emperor walks in some doors.

[@gaboqv]

I'm happy this game didn't get caught in controversy seems the love for the original source is carrying the discourse hard, it's great to see something that seemingly was part of so many people's childhood and even morals upbringing, if you haven't seen the ending of the video before he tals about the trailer I suggest you come back after you finish the game as there's lots of things i haven't seen in three hours of gameplay and thus are better experienced girst first hand in game

[@BeatsAndGuitars]

[@jacoblarson8113]

Good stuff bro

[@murderofrooks350]

I already saw a video from a western view on journey to the west and breaking down what we need to know on wukong, and it was good. But I saw Chinese comments praising it for being as good as a westerners interpretation can get cuz some points got overly simplified or misinterpreted and they appreciated the jokes made but overall did a good job explaining wukong, not the story. So i watched this video and will watch others I think out of respect because it’s super interesting and every Chinese commenter has been super kind and respectful and helpful so far.

[@vgamedude12]

Hearing the story of the studio head was very nice. I didn't know any of this. I am glad to see them succeed with this game. We need more passionate games made for gamers like this.

Ram Bhakt Hanuman is Chiranjeevi, destined to serve Vishnu Avatars on Earth. Last scriptural record of Hanuman presence was, he is meditating outside Bharat in a particular Tibetian Mountain. He must have incarnated as SunWuKong there. THERE IS A GOOD SCOPE FOR INDO-CHIN EPIC GAME... I have no hope from Indian Devs.

Every time. That's as far as I get. Monkey King. Pig Man. Then the story loses me on the next guy. Everything Chinese, some sort of 'code.' You know? Monkey king. Ok. Pig man. You lost me. There need to be something entice 'normal' person, not in the loop with Chinese 'coded' meaning from long ago, get them pass Sun Wukong. That my poblem, play 'Wu Kong,' right now. I keep going back to old game. 'Eve' in 'Stellar Blade' need no explaining. She the girl you always wish gonna let you 'control' her. It a great partnership.
