Chinese Video/Computer Games

In terms of the combat, to be honest I don't notice anything too different from other similar action RPGs like Fromsoft ones.
The light attacks having their own combo chain is not too different from other games of the type, and landed heavy attacks feel pretty similarly satisfying to Souls, Elden Ring, or Sekiro or Bloodborne (or even more so, if it's a fully charged heavy).

Fromsoft games have their own janky feel when it comes to combat. One thing I really dislike is how horizontally swinging ultra greatswords seem too heavy for the protagonist to wield. See the Fire Knight's Greatsword from Shadow of the Erdtree, that light combo in comparison to the Zweihander's is just chef kiss.

You really ought to try the new generation Monster Hunter games. Every time I land a big hit with the heavy weapons, it's like a burst of feel good chemicals in the brain.

As for the camera against more mobile or flying bosses, lol that's part and parcel of this genre. I'd say this game is a bit better than even some more mature developers like what From has done -- there isn't anything as frustrating as fighting midir or phase 1 of nameless king in Dark Souls 3, or one of the Ancient Dragons like Sennesax in Elden Ring. Getting caught in a corner by Genichiro or Owl has similar if not worse camera jank as well.
In a way, learning the camera and positioning in the arena is as important to part of the combat flow as the combat, dodge and healing as anything.

Imagine if we had an FOV slider for Fromsoft games. I would never use lock on again in melee.

Black Myth: Wukong face model capture.

The voice actors of BM:W
Interesting that they used British accents for most of the English dialogues.

I legitimately cannot believe this shit. This put multiple release of AAA and Japanese games to shame on so many levels. Go team China, house wrecking time is now coming at full speed, those developers in the west (Ubisoft and Blizzard) are on suicide watch like Zelensky running out of crack and Biden running out of silly juice

The English voice actress for the headless monk, Pale-Axe Stalwart, and Quick as Fire is a trans. As far as technical DEI is concerned, BM:W can check all the boxes already. Non-white lead check, non-white focused characters check, diverse ethnicities of the casts check, diverse genders check, diverse sexual orientations check, etc. This myth about a "lack of diversity" is getting exposed by the day. Yet those lying Western journalists have refused to take down their slanderous articles to this day.

These idiot journalists could technically be sued for defamation. They are lucky that Game Science is probably not interested in pursuing any legal action with them. (Maybe Game Science feels more grateful to them than pissed off. That defamation campaign was after all, powerful FOC marketing.) But imagine if they had done that same crap to Ubisoft or EA, they might not had gotten away with it scot free.

Legal analyst Andrew Esquire asserted that Dot Esports’ UK Associate Editor Tom Foley defamed Black Myth: Wukong developer Game Science.

He said, “It’s worth pointing out that what he’s saying is, is essentially, I mean at certain points, defamatory. It’s business defamation. Business defamation being making false statements that harm a business’ reputation or their, you now, business. Their course of business etc…”

It is not about being PC or not, it’s about whether they coughed up 7 million USD in bribe money to Sweet Baby Inc.

The snake guy with two health bars made me retry a lot of times. A lot more than the bosses after him.
Still using mouse + keyboard so far.

That boss took me ages to beat as well.

Its more like an extortion racket than a bribe. Run by the media mafia in the West. Sweet Baby Inc. is just one of those thugs doing the racketeering.

BM: W is rebelling against this BS just like Wukong did against the Celestial Court.

"My game - good. The gamers - happy."
"All I ever wanted was to make a good game for gamers, free from you, and your so-called DEIs."
"Those high above you don't trust me. I understand that"
"And they send you and those journo knuckleheads to threaten me to obey and serve your BS political agenda. I understand that too."
"But what I don't understand is...you bastards still wanna force your BS down everyone's throats!"
"Come at me, all of you!"

Since almost every location in BM: W has a real life counterpart in China this could spur another wave of tourism to China and create even more Wumaos as a result. It is the ouroboros of Wumao creation.
