I liked that Game Science actually put some good effort into their English dialogues for Black Myth: Wukong. They could have just used subtitles over the original Chinese dialogues, and that would have been good enough. They could also have easily used low budget English dubbing like the other Chinese, Korean, and earlier Japanese games. The English language is just not gonna fully appreciate the true meaning of the Chinese dialogues. But no, they actually did a quality job with the English voice acting. It may not yet comparable with the best voice acting in the industry, but its good enough to give it international appeal. Bajie is now quite memorable for the English-speaking crowd. I liked it that Bajie's English dialogues had a more Game of Thrones flavour to it rather than Tolkien.
Darken the skin colour, make at least one of them bald, give them nose rings, give them tatoos, or give them pink hairs. Add-in all that, and they can could receive praise by IGN and the Western MSM. But they still won't get any critical acclaim, because, Chyna bad.
With this mod it can now be legally released in Taiwan island
If they like ugly chicks so much maybe TikTok should sell Western Devs a Zhubajie filter for all their characters to save money on design.
Don't feel bad for bashing Sony. They are well compensated with massive PS5 sales, thanks to Black: Myth Wukong.
This gave me the thought of "Why doesn't China have an indigenous game console?", but then I remembered consoles have only been allowed in China since 2015. I also remember around 8 years ago the Tomahawk F1 console was announced by a Chinese company and flopped tremendously:
If China's games industry starts developing beyond phone-centric gacha games and Chinese studios start pumping out 3A titles more frequently, there could be a market for consoles. The PS4's success was due in large part to really good exclusive single-player games (God of War and all of the Naughty Dog games, Bloodborne, Ghosts of Tsushima, etc). Also considering that there isn't really competition in this field anymore since Xbox seems like it's doomed to fail and Nintendo seems to be working at a snail's pace at releasing the Switch 2.

I wouldn't call it massive. Maybe from 1000 units to 50000 units a month.
