But we listened to Journey to the West on cassette tape, we'd play one side of a tape every night while going to sleep. We did this for years.

Im really looking forward to more and more chinese game developers gaining momentum in the industry. Say what you will, but just 60 years ago, China was a mostly rural agricultural society. Here we are today, and they are a global behemoth of power, with vast amounts of influence, global trade, and prosperity. The gaming industry needs far more diversity, im looking forward to seeing new gaming studios emerge from all over the world. We need more competition in the industry. The largest gaming studios have ruined gaming in the last decade, with all the micro-transactions, unfinished games launching with massive bugs and problems, 3-4 different versions released of the same game , they are charging $120 dollars in the U.S for the complete game , this is an unsustainable business practice thats biting them in the ass. Black Myth Wukong, even with its performance issues on consoles, released as a full game from launch, I want to see more of this in the industry. The only recent title I can think of that launched as a fully finished game upon release was God of War Ragnorok.

Forced diversity is a joke. For years, people (non-Gen Z) have been complaining about a lack of originality in entertainment. It's either an endless stream of superhero stuff or remakes upon reboots upon rehashes. And when we FINALLY get something a little bit more original, what happens? People attempt to cancel the new, original thing by complaining that it doesn't live up to the contrived, fascistic gender-political standards of today! WTF??? I believe Black Myth: Wukong is a pretty decent game, but even if it wasn't, the fact that it goes its own way and doesn't give a damn about what's politically correct.....well, that earns it an instant buy from me!

Sweet summer child, the entire reason these journalists still have their jobs is they are willing to write these hit pieces for their corporate masters. Why do you think these big media companies have been buying up all the smaller struggling game Journalist outlets these last four or five year? Take note of when all these nonsense inflammatory hit pieces started showing up. It's not a coincidence. The primary reason this game is getting the slander treatment by corporate game journalists is it refused to pay SBI's 8 million dollar e̶x̶t̶o̶r̶t̶i̶o̶n̶ consultation fee. Look at any of the big titles we have seen get slandered like this in the last few years. Notice how its only been the last few years for starters, but beyond that the one thing they all seem to have in common is they are games that refused to pay Sweet Baby Inc's multi-million dollar "consultation fee." This is the same company whose CEO got caught making a statement about using the threat of turning the social media internet mobs against studios that don't play ball as a way to coerce them into doing so. This is a coordinated slander campaign and the game journalists are their paid attack dogs. It's nice to finally see people starting call out this behavior for how strange and ridiculous it is.

As a male player I am highly offended by the life is strange series especially the third one because I don't feel as if the main character addressed most of my masculine life issues enough. I think the developers should have spent the time to create a male presenting character and a male centric game alongside the existing story. Even though yes it would be almost like they were creating two games but that's the price of inclusivity and the only way to appease my ego and it's need for attention. I really don't feel represented enough in those games. Yes all of what I just wrote sounds illogical irrational and insane. And I'm sure some of these sensitive journalists would agree that I sound unhinged. So maybe occasionally they should try applying some of their concepts across the board and see if they stand up to scrutiny.

And she focuses on it like the first two chapters represent the entire game. She never mentioned how far she was in the game after that point. She never says something like, "Sure in chapter 5 more women showed up but..." I mean if she did the smallest amount of research before typing that she would know 2 years ago they had a trailer with women in it. This is incredibly dishonest.

As a fan of the Journey to the West and a HUGE Sun Wukong fan, I was ecstatic that such a beautiful and polished game was released based on the myth and that the story will be shared to hundreds of other people who might not be familiar with it. Imagine how pissed I am that these game "journalists" are trying to shoot down the game and by proxy its wonderful story by transplanting their Western values of "DiVeRSiTy" and "InCLuSiVitY" onto an Eastern-developed game.

I've completely stopped trusting critic reviews . I go straight to the user reviews.

Lack of ideological gerrymandering is a badge of honour! A negative review from a DEI officer seals the deal for me to at least check it out :)

Samar Abedian, the Screen Rant "game reviewer" played roughly 20% of the game, see the game has 6 Chapters and she didn't even finish chapter 2.

My only complain is that it’s absolutely a souls like and it’s even more stressful than the rest of souls games

I remember a time when games journalists who reviewed games did so based on gameplay, graphics, story and you know the content of the game. Which... you know is their actual job. Seems to be these days the journos that work on these sites are the ones that are such terrible journalists that the only job they can get is for ScreenRant or some such when they really wanted to work for some politico shill place instead. The majority of games I play, books I read, movies and tv-shows I watch I watch to escape from reality for a moment. Sooo, the further it is removed from the "current real world" shit the better. And if said piece of media is based on a piece of literature, history or what have you, I want it to cling as closely to that source material as possible so it feels authentic. For example if a game or movie is set in the Scandinavia during the viking age(I know, so very overdone by now) I dont want 20% of all vikings to be ethnically non-norse because around a fifth of Sweden happens to be first or second gen immigrants today. It makes the setting feel inauthentic and just throws me out of my immersion. Respect for the source material and the setting is very important, it's important to keep the world believable, it's important for the people who are fans of the material, and it's important to the people who's cultural heritage is on display etc.
