Black Myth Wukong being released early in some places. Personally I like games where I can explore. People earlier said this game didn't let you do that. It was all following the path designed by the game. Apparently not true. I remember playing one of the Castle Wolfenstein games and I happened to be on a balcony looking down into a room where the Nazis had to run across that were coming to get me upstairs. For some reason at this one spot I was at and no where else on the balcony I was able to use an unlimited amount of dynamite sticks to throw down into this room and kill all the Nazis coming to get me. Was that a glitch or was that an easter egg by design? I would've never have found this without exploring. My ammunition would've been depleted if that wasn't there.

One thing they haven't really been able to do that I know of is being able to destroy the environment around you and having the debris left being a part of the game play. That's why also why I stopped playing these games. The only thing that improved was graphics and not game play.
Personally i prefer the wolong, nioh style of level and maps selection for combat action games. Especially if they let you refight and farm bosses. Its just so nice to spank Lu Bu as a more powered up character after he made me grief for 2~3 hours the first time around.

Zenless Zone Zero's Month 1 total revenue across all platforms estimated to be around 2.2-2.5B yuan (around 300-350M USD) with overseas markets contributing 56% of revenue and 74% of downloads -- it will likely settle into being another fine addition to miHoYo's portfolio.
I'd admit I played my tinny tiny bit in Zenless Zone Zero's revenue performance, but I never expert that much. Certainly ZZZ has a different vibe than Genshin Impact (a lot towards the NSFW direction so I'll stop at that), but it the kind that'd keep me not out of sync when Black Myth Wukong goes live in a day or less.

Zhu Yuan and Jane Doe are primarily responsible for that income, those that understand, will get it.

This game is also looking awesome.




In my opinion, successful games should be universally appealing and is transparent of the developers national origins. Love Nikki has been long a very successful game franchise long before Hoyoverse and people don't know, or care, that Nikki is from a Chinese developer. Love Nikki is essentially a digital dress'em Barbie kind of game franchise.


That Infinity Nikki game is like playing in a Disney animated movie... not playing a game based on a Disney animated movie. Who would've thought that you can make a computer game from that? That's being innovative. I can see how it can be a game-changer in the industry. I wonder how it's going to be attacked by the usual suspects.

ZZZ is wild, it's wonder it got past the censorship one the mainland.
