To all those watching, there is NO LOSS for killing the Wandering Wight before obtaining "guidance." Kill him if you desire, but you will NOT miss out on anything. He is meant to be kinda like the Tree Sentinel and is not really intended to be fought this early, but is a fun challenge for experienced fans. He will be significantly harder than all other bosses for a while.
@@Noone-d6u I'm assuming you haven't played Elden ring. The tree sentinel is a re-occurring boss in Elden ring and players encounter one of its instances at the very start of the game. It's "intended" to be skipped at that stage as it is quite difficult compared to other bosses in the area.
He's honestly just a gimmick boss. Once you realize hitting his head stuns him, he becomes super easy, so I feel like he was added for content rather than tree sentinel back tracking.
Wandering Wight is braindead easy with the immobilization and the fact that your light attack chain finisher staggers him(so he's stunlocked 90% of time if you just spam attack button and have stamina).
This game's development had been quite the story. Initially, the studio really did not have money. So, they were just making clips of mockups, trying to get investors. This period lasted for like a good year or two. Then when the game was labelled as the first serious attempt of making a AAA game by a Chinese studio, they start to get attention. Investment started to pour in, talents started to join. At least point, this game had years of development and significant money poured into it. We really should expect a good experience from it.
Damn can you imagine how expensive it would be to try and prototype a game with no investors in California for a few years, because most US studios make games in the most expensive cities in the world for some reason .Maybe thats the play , move extremely small core developer team to a cheap country and prototype ideas for cheap until you get big investment, and then start the crazy expensive development cycle. I always assumed thats why Ubisoft has so many teams in East Europe , for cheap RnD
It's a tad sad we have to resort to China to give us good games now while western studios go through horrible layoffs and mismanagement and so much poor quality writing for shoehorning
Fun fact: you actually can't lose the 1st boss because at this point in time wukong is like 8 times immortal and has 72 extra lives(one for each transformation he can do)... That means he needs to die 72 times but he has 8 levels of immortality they need to get past.
@@Viewer13128Basically the definition of immortality is “won’t die”, so Wukong found several ways to do it. He consumed several types of foods meant for immortals like the peaches and pills which each bestowed on him immortality, was roasted in a divine kiln which burnt away his mortal body to make him more than mortal + his special eyes, went down to the underworld and wiped his name from the book of death meaning that he was no queued to die at the end of his life. I might be forgetting some other things but you get the idea
Well, Son Wukong was literally the inspiration for Goku. He has the powerpole, nimbus, uses after image, has a tail and loves fighting strong opponents.
My man really became goku playing wukong, not wanting to fight weak things, asking people how strong they are; bouncing around gleefully from one point to another.
@@fluffly8935I live in Florida and think you got us confused with Texas. The majority of Florida is democrat (but only by a few%) and there’s very little racist. The only place with those type of people are down south and around central Florida in some of the more rural communities. All big cities tend to be blue and have tons of minorites and very rarely do you hear about racial/hate crimes.
The Story of Wukong: Wukong’s origin traces back to one of China’s oldest myths. Long ago, after the goddess Nüwa fixed the sky with magical stones, one leftover stone was left on Earth. After thousands of years, this stone cracked open, and out came Wukong. This earned him his first title, “Stone Monkey.” His birth caused a massive shockwave that shook the palaces in the clouds, scaring the emperor of the gods. Wukong became the leader of the monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain. This earned him his second title, “Handsome Monkey King.” He was happy at first, but then he saw the reality of life and death, which filled him with fear. He crossed the sea to the human world, learned their language, and found a master who taught him how to transform and fly using magic. Wukong visited the Dragon King’s palace and showed off his almost limitless strength, rudely demanding the god’s most prized weapon and armor. When the king of the underworld decided Wukong’s time was up, Wukong fought his way through hell, crossed out his name (and all the monkeys’ names) from the book of life and death, making them all immortal. After angering both the sea and underworld kings, the gods decided to try and recruit Wukong. At first, they underestimated him and gave him a lowly job as a stable hand. Wukong didn’t realize this was basically just a janitor job, and when he figured it out, he rebelled against heaven. This earned him the humiliating title “Bimawen” (the horse-tending monkey). If you want to get under his skin, call him that. After beating back the gods’ army, they tried to appease him again. Wukong demanded the title “QI TIAN DA SHENG” (Great Sage Equal to Heaven), and surprisingly, they agreed. This became his proudest title. But this title was all show and no power. Soon, Wukong realized he wasn’t getting the respect he deserved. Just like in other stories, he wasn’t invited to the big banquet. So, he crashed the party early, ate all the magical peaches, drank all the wine, and gobbled up the immortality pills (each god was supposed to get one). This time, the gods decided to take Wukong seriously, but here’s the embarrassing part: even with all their combined forces, they couldn’t catch him. So, they called in Erlang Shen, a god with a third eye. Erlang Shen, like Wukong, is a legendary figure with his own rich backstory. He’s one of the few who knows the same magic as Wukong. Erlang Shen’s mom was the emperor of the gods' sister. She secretly came down to Earth, married a mortal man, and gave birth to Erlang Shen. The emperor, punishing her for marrying a human, trapped her under a mountain. Erlang Shen grew up, split the mountain with an ax, and saved his mom. In the game, you’ll see him use that ax. He hates the emperor of the gods and runs an independent army, handling his divine duties but refusing anything outside of combat. Erlang Shen eventually cornered Wukong, and with help from other gods, they captured him. The gods locked Wukong in the strongest furnace, intending to burn him to ashes, but instead, he survived and gained golden, flame-filled eyes that could see through any disguise. He emerged from the furnace right in the middle of the gods’ palace and charged straight for the emperor of the gods. This time, the one who stopped him was the Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni or the Tathagata. The Buddha proposed a challenge, and Wukong accepted. He flew 108,000 miles, thinking he’d reached the end of the world, only to find himself still in the Buddha’s palm. The Buddha flipped his hand, turning it into a mountain that trapped Wukong underneath. Wukong stayed pinned under the mountain for 500 years until a Chinese monk named Xuanzang passed by. Xuanzang was on a journey to visit the Buddha and get the complete Buddhist scriptures. The Buddha instructed him to put a magical band on Wukong’s head. Whenever Wukong angered Xuanzang, the monk could recite a spell that would tighten the band, causing Wukong intense pain. Wukong became Xuanzang’s disciple in name, officially becoming a Buddhist monk and earning the title “Sun Xingzhe” (the monk in training). Despite having far more knowledge and skills than the mortal Xuanzang, Wukong’s monkey nature kept him mischievous, like a child. Wukong and Xuanzang had a complicated relationship. As a devout Buddhist, Xuanzang refused to kill any living being, even the bandits and monsters trying to eat him. Wukong, on the other hand, had no problem killing in battle, which often led to him getting punished by Xuanzang’s spell after saving his master. Yet, Wukong cared deeply for Xuanzang, enjoying their conversations and risking his life countless times to rescue him from monsters. Ironically, more than half the monsters they encountered were related to the gods, their servants, or their pets. These monsters used stolen divine artifacts to nearly kill Wukong multiple times. When Wukong finally defeated them, the gods would show up to prevent him from finishing them off. After surviving 81 challenges and defeating countless monsters, Wukong finally delivered Xuanzang to the Buddha. The Buddha declared that the journey had allowed Wukong to achieve enlightenment, granting him the title “Victorious Fighting Buddha.”
The original book was written for playwright purposes, and the Chinese in game dialogue do kinda reflect it. That’s why the translation might seem off or funny at times.
for everyone who is confused about this and dragonball: The monkey king's name in Chinese writing is: 孫悟空 its Mandarin pronunciation is: Sun Wukong Its Japanese pronunciation is: Son Goku. And for those who don't know either of the languages, Japanese use Chinese characters extensively in their script which they call Kanji. So dragonball literally just borrowed the exact same name for its monkey king inspired character
@@ChrisZ901 Sun Wukong is known not just in China but also Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines. As an Asian, it is so fun seeing all these (I’m assuming American) people yelling at each other in the comments about this lmao
@@FriendlyVimanam absolutely nothing to do with Hindus. Indians nationalist out here embarrassing themselves yet again claiming other cultures because they themselves don't have a written history.
3:22 That's Xiao Tian Quan,or Heavenly Dog.He helps Erlang subdue demons.He's capable of magic,like shape-shifting. Erlang Shen,the guy with three eyes (his third eye can see through disguises and shoot lasers btw) probably has some respect on Wukong cause he's one of the guys sent to fight him at the beginning of the book (and he puts some really good fight that it's not until Lao Tzu helps with his diamond circlet/snare thing that Wukong finally got captured).He also helped Wukong hunt Nine-Headed Pest (if you know the green bird in the 2nd good ending that's the thing). 5:26 That's probably a reference to how Wukong defeated a copy of him: struck him in the eye and kills him.
I am vietnamese and The Journey To The West is almost everyone's childhood here. Sun Wukong has always been something i loved for so long and now they finally made an incredible game about him. Also please find and watch the many movies about Sun Wukong its very very incredible
@@ANDR3alfaro also youtube wont ban them. I reported the same bot account like 100s of times over many days with all different submissions but TH-cam just allows these kind of bots to exist even after reporting them.
Sun Wukong is the best fictional character of all time. It was created in 1592 and still super popular across the Asia. There is no Asian who didn't know about Wukong. "Journey to the west (1986)" and "Black Lotus" are so much fun to watch when I was young.
@@HarvardAlumni2022he is as the original literature has significant cultural influence in Asia as it inspired numerous works like Dragon Ball. He’s as well known as Jesus to Westerners. You could argue Jesus is more influential, but you’ll start a war calling Jesus fictional
Not actually playing as Sun Wukong was the biggest surprise that makes complete sense because in the book he starts out as one punch man then gets more powerful
That doesn't solve the problem, the Wandering Wight dropped a soul, gives you no guidance beyond you needing guidance to use it and it despawns and the boss doesn't respawn. I'd feel wary of fighting optional bosses without that guidance just because of that.
@@randomisaac5959 You don't lose it tho, it will ve back soon and easily after you find the Guidance. Yeah I know that a player couldn't know it before and could be depressed because of it, I know. I think it's better if there was a more clear instruction for it, just to tell you "don't worry your efforts aren't wasted".
@@randomisaac5959 everyone in this thread missing your point completely lol, even tho you dont really lose it, it just appears like you have lost it, the game doesn't convey that part properly and anyone would obviously be wary of fighting optional bosses aftee that point till the game has conveyed that you have recieved guidance and do not lose the souls
2:48 You are right Charlie but it was not gods, it was the Buddha himself who made a bet with Wukong after he rampages in the Heavenly Court for basically getting pissy that he wasn't invited to a party. Then he pissed on the Buddha's hand, who then buried Wukong under a mountain for 500 years until his new master would begin his journey to the west.
Charlie actually making a commentary gameplay video for this is wild. For years, his gaming videos were just clips pulled from livestreams. We are in the end times now boys.
Comment section shows how successful Manga and Anime are as a cultural export, especially Dragonball, that many people know Goku, but are just now introduced to the inspiration of the character. Journey to the West was published in the 16th century lol. China has so much to offer in terms of cultural IP like this. Civil war and communism really delayed the cultural export from China by at least 20 years...Japanese has been borrowing a lot, another popular one is Romance of Three Kingdoms. Good to finally see Chinese devs telling their own stories in such a gorgeous packaging.
That's because there's a lot of *you know what*ism out there

civil war and communism? you mean western propaganda, even with black myth wukong western media is trying so hard to drag it down by slandering the devs
I feel like if you are "too good" at the boss fights, you can't appreciate the game details. The giant grey wolf coming out the roof top is my favorite boss yet, in terms of the look. And if you are too good and you dodge everything, you don't get to see how the wolf brings you up to the sky, pause, then BOOM slams you to the ground HARD, I am so impressed with this wolf fight alone. The way he climb around the roofs and then speed jump at you looks so good. amazing. I dont even play RPG at all but I really want to play this game, but I dont have the PC to run it.
@@DuxpaOfficialsearch for journey to the west in TH-cam, there's a channel that has simplified cartoon version for novels, journey to the west is one of those
@@noahrobinson5952 feels more like a cross between god of war ragnarok and soulslike, with a sprinkles of combat flow that batman and spiderman have, it feels really good and weighty. Very hard to keep the weighty feeling with the flow, and they executed it pretty well

@@JebadiahChrist killed an optional boss early and acts surprised the mechanic to get it might yet not be available? no way! current year guy games been doing this for a very long time.
But with great visuals this time! So refreshing to get a good game focused on action and story, with good visuals on the side. Instead of another “let’s put all our budget in dei”
Because thats what the studio did, straight copy from Onimusha, just like Genshin is basically a direct rip-off of Zelda. They put everything into the gameplay/ visual quality as they spent zero dollar on the RnD, they just copied. Typical Chinese companies
@@punani_slayer4209brother what??? lmao I understand that the cost of both production and entertainment is high but saying it should be free is completely brain dead 😂
As an avid Wuxia novels reader, this is scratching the cinematic wuxia itch that i've been craving for years 11:18 Calling your enemies brat, or proclaiming yourself as their grandpa or ancestor is par for the course in Chinese mythology. Because their culture deeply values _Face,_ their insults often resort to elevating oneself while degrading opponents as ants or mortal trash.
For reference, Wukong's taunts in the tutorial fight are worded the way they are because that character is Erlong Shen, the nephew of the Jade Emperor who Wukong called himself the equal of. Hence, he taunted him by treating him like a nephew or grandchild.
The Chinese dub is full of deep wordplays, like a Chinese Shakespearean play on Roman Gods. English is a watered down version, very normal which makes it sound a bit weird with god-level atmosphere in the background.
to give an idea how strong Wukong hits, his staff is made of pure iron, and when he attacks, it bends against the air due to how fast and powerful his swing is
When Wukong went to choose a weapon, he looked around the armory and then chose a pillar that was holding up a building. He said, "huh... let me get that" and shrunk it 😭
And can be adjusted to how long and how big he want it to be, the way the player put and pull his staff is to shrink it as small as a needle, and put it inside the ear. Look up "Jingu Bang"
So excited for this game. As a Chinese person, Wukong is heavily wired in our childhood. It's like kids here want to be like Superman or Spiderman, we used to pretend to be Wukong. Super cool to see a video game with this quality coming up soon!
What do Chinese people think about the way certain westerners complain about everything being racist and sexist? Do they think we're all a bunch of delicate weirdos? 🤣
I do love how the corniness of the english translation is a thing. Chinese, Japanese, and Korean translations into English all have their own weird quirks that's pretty distinct from each other. Part of it comes with the accents, and the other just comes from their phrasing.
🤣back to ancient times , Japan and kr r our dependent state . Actually even today their language can’t function without Chinese cuz Japanese and Korean characters r phonetical just like our Pingyin .
>Kills the optional boss that doesn't give any major rewards, thinking they're mandatory >Leaves behind the story-critical one that unlocks a whole new mechanic, thinking they're optional lol
Ahh man. It doesn't matter much because this game I want to play myself first before watching anyone else (bought it last night but had to be up early, going to dig into it tonight). But I was so happy when I booted up the game and saw the option of Chinese dialogue with English subtitles.
But tiny white fonts on white BG is horrible to read and on top of that you need to read it fast because it will disappeared. You also will be missing half of what's going on during the game when trying to read subtitles.
Don't care how much "better" voice acting is with it's original language. Having to READ texts on the bottom of the screen while fast paced action is happening will ALWAYS be worse than actually enjoying the show/video in your native language. So I'm glad they dubbed the game or it would have been a pass for me.
As you progress an NPC will upgrade your gourd and you’ll be able to retrieve that dropped soul from a rest point. Also highly recommend you go back and fight the fire wielding guy he drops something other then a soul
Ive never seen this game or announcement or anything but after seeing the intro fight scene im just really blown away at how impressive this game looks, the emotion it evoked from me seeing the sheer size of those beings and the beautiful artwork made by the artists, animators just the whole crew i cannot put into words. i havent felt this way about a game in a long time. ill be watching that intro fight over and over until i get to experience this myself.
The first boss u kill is actually the optional one,while the one with a fire blade is one of the main bosses,by deafening him u can pick up his fire blade the “red tide” which gives some extra burning damage when fighting some of the hairy bosses such as that white wolf.Many of the bosses have its own weakness,by doing side quests or just read conversations with npc may help u gain such suitable weapon or armor or a hint on how to acquire them.
The DEI bots hating on every Black Myth Wukong videos is mind blowing Might as well spend all that resource in making good games rather than dropping hate comments every where Then maybe they can sell more than 650 copies
I can't be the only one who is constantly caught off guard by the "most anticipated" games. Like, half of these I don't even hear about until they've already released.
If I were not mistaken, I'm not sure where did I read this, but the character you're playing is actually Sun Wukong who lost his memory. Or maybe his reincarnation? Nah, actually I might be remembering something else lmao.

@@coolraygamingI dont think you’ll get the same satisfying combat as sekiro. sekiro is much more deliberate like dark souls and black myth is more of a hack n slash, but still looks fun
@@coolraygamingDodging is all you have in the game. There is a parry, but it's a spell that's on a cooldown. The heavy attacks feel satisfying, but the light attacks don't. You'll have to play around with spells and different stances if you want to have a good time. It ain't as satisfying as Sekiro if you enjoyed the parry system in that game imo.
I reallly thought this game wasnt gonna be all that good really and just some jank game that got hype for standing up to DEI.. But oh my god that intro f*cking slaps. This is on the top of my liist to play now. RIP sweet baby DEI, do not come back, nobody wants you.
Yeah, I just started playing the game yesterday. If I'm being honest, I replayed the intro like three times, and it was exciting each time. That first fight, with Erlang, is really fun.
@@TrungTH1190 yea I know Shaolin also had tricks, I like the one where they angle it and stand on it using weight and strength it's impressive stuff man
To be fair, Wukong is conniving but retains a playful demeanor. Almost arrogant because he knows nobody is capable of throwing hands with him. Hence why it may sound like he’s always cheery and boastful.

The Story of Wukong:
Wukong’s origin traces back to one of China’s oldest myths. Long ago, after the goddess Nüwa fixed the sky with magical stones, one leftover stone was left on Earth. After thousands of years, this stone cracked open, and out came Wukong. This earned him his first title, “Stone Monkey.” His birth caused a massive shockwave that shook the palaces in the clouds, scaring the emperor of the gods.
Wukong became the leader of the monkeys on Flower Fruit Mountain. This earned him his second title, “Handsome Monkey King.” He was happy at first, but then he saw the reality of life and death, which filled him with fear.
He crossed the sea to the human world, learned their language, and found a master who taught him how to transform and fly using magic.
Wukong visited the Dragon King’s palace and showed off his almost limitless strength, rudely demanding the god’s most prized weapon and armor.
When the king of the underworld decided Wukong’s time was up, Wukong fought his way through hell, crossed out his name (and all the monkeys’ names) from the book of life and death, making them all immortal.
After angering both the sea and underworld kings, the gods decided to try and recruit Wukong. At first, they underestimated him and gave him a lowly job as a stable hand. Wukong didn’t realize this was basically just a janitor job, and when he figured it out, he rebelled against heaven. This earned him the humiliating title “Bimawen” (the horse-tending monkey). If you want to get under his skin, call him that.
After beating back the gods’ army, they tried to appease him again. Wukong demanded the title “QI TIAN DA SHENG” (Great Sage Equal to Heaven), and surprisingly, they agreed. This became his proudest title.
But this title was all show and no power. Soon, Wukong realized he wasn’t getting the respect he deserved. Just like in other stories, he wasn’t invited to the big banquet. So, he crashed the party early, ate all the magical peaches, drank all the wine, and gobbled up the immortality pills (each god was supposed to get one).
This time, the gods decided to take Wukong seriously, but here’s the embarrassing part: even with all their combined forces, they couldn’t catch him. So, they called in Erlang Shen, a god with a third eye.
Erlang Shen, like Wukong, is a legendary figure with his own rich backstory. He’s one of the few who knows the same magic as Wukong.
Erlang Shen’s mom was the emperor of the gods' sister. She secretly came down to Earth, married a mortal man, and gave birth to Erlang Shen. The emperor, punishing her for marrying a human, trapped her under a mountain. Erlang Shen grew up, split the mountain with an ax, and saved his mom. In the game, you’ll see him use that ax. He hates the emperor of the gods and runs an independent army, handling his divine duties but refusing anything outside of combat.
Erlang Shen eventually cornered Wukong, and with help from other gods, they captured him. The gods locked Wukong in the strongest furnace, intending to burn him to ashes, but instead, he survived and gained golden, flame-filled eyes that could see through any disguise.
He emerged from the furnace right in the middle of the gods’ palace and charged straight for the emperor of the gods. This time, the one who stopped him was the Buddha, also known as Shakyamuni or the Tathagata. The Buddha proposed a challenge, and Wukong accepted. He flew 108,000 miles, thinking he’d reached the end of the world, only to find himself still in the Buddha’s palm. The Buddha flipped his hand, turning it into a mountain that trapped Wukong underneath.
Wukong stayed pinned under the mountain for 500 years until a Chinese monk named Xuanzang passed by. Xuanzang was on a journey to visit the Buddha and get the complete Buddhist scriptures. The Buddha instructed him to put a magical band on Wukong’s head. Whenever Wukong angered Xuanzang, the monk could recite a spell that would tighten the band, causing Wukong intense pain.
Wukong became Xuanzang’s disciple in name, officially becoming a Buddhist monk and earning the title “Sun Xingzhe” (the monk in training). Despite having far more knowledge and skills than the mortal Xuanzang, Wukong’s monkey nature kept him mischievous, like a child.
Wukong and Xuanzang had a complicated relationship. As a devout Buddhist, Xuanzang refused to kill any living being, even the bandits and monsters trying to eat him. Wukong, on the other hand, had no problem killing in battle, which often led to him getting punished by Xuanzang’s spell after saving his master. Yet, Wukong cared deeply for Xuanzang, enjoying their conversations and risking his life countless times to rescue him from monsters.
Ironically, more than half the monsters they encountered were related to the gods, their servants, or their pets. These monsters used stolen divine artifacts to nearly kill Wukong multiple times. When Wukong finally defeated them, the gods would show up to prevent him from finishing them off.
After surviving 81 challenges and defeating countless monsters, Wukong finally delivered Xuanzang to the Buddha. The Buddha declared that the journey had allowed Wukong to achieve enlightenment, granting him the title “Victorious Fighting Buddha.”
Thank you for sharing! :)

The original book was written for playwright purposes, and the Chinese in game dialogue do kinda reflect it. That’s why the translation might seem off or funny at times.

@@starrynight8709 wordplay is meaningless if you don't speak the language. All these guys saying chinese -> english dub is just pretentious weebs.
for everyone who is confused about this and dragonball:
The monkey king's name in Chinese writing is: 孫悟空
its Mandarin pronunciation is: Sun Wukong
Its Japanese pronunciation is: Son Goku.
And for those who don't know either of the languages, Japanese use Chinese characters extensively in their script which they call Kanji.

Playing with Chinese voices and English subs is definitely 100 times better.
Doing the same, the English dub sounds pretty awkward.
But tiny white fonts on white BG is horrible to read and on top of that you need to read it fast because it will disappeared. You also will be missing half of what's going on during the game when trying to read subtitles.
Don't care how much "better" voice acting is with it's original language. Having to READ texts on the bottom of the screen while fast paced action is happening will ALWAYS be worse than actually enjoying the show/video in your native language. So I'm glad they dubbed the game or it would have been a pass for me.

The first boss u kill is actually the optional one,while the one with a fire blade is one of the main bosses,by deafening him u can pick up his fire blade the “red tide” which gives some extra burning damage when fighting some of the hairy bosses such as that white wolf.Many of the bosses have its own weakness,by doing side quests or just read conversations with npc may help u gain such suitable weapon or armor or a hint on how to acquire them.

@ZNTPOFFICERJOB-k8v no subs? no content?
You see, this comment is funny because it applies to 3 different MOBAs
@ZNTPOFFICERJOB NOBODY LOVES YOU + MY CONTENT IS BETTER THAN YOURS + GET BACK IN YOUR CRIB
3:05 “Why don’t you back that up with a source!” I love it already
The DEI bots hating on every Black Myth Wukong videos is mind blowing
Might as well spend all that resource in making good games rather than dropping hate comments every where
Then maybe they can sell more than 650 copies
What is DEI?
so its ok to be sexist but to call out the sexism is hate? kinda doesnt make any sense whatsoever lmfao
I can't be the only one who is constantly caught off guard by the "most anticipated" games.
Like, half of these I don't even hear about until they've already released.
The Wukong situation is CRAZY
This game feels like the love child of a Dark Souls game and God of War. I like it.
If I were not mistaken, I'm not sure where did I read this, but the character you're playing is actually Sun Wukong who lost his memory. Or maybe his reincarnation? Nah, actually I might be remembering something else lmao.
16:14 That's a Backscratcher. For hard to reach itches.
Putting the most anticipated game ever into parts and pieces and not just fully stream it is diabolical Charlie
Like another comment said Good to know he enjoys it off stream away from the distractions
because in the terms of services for the game they said they don't want it streamed or something like that.
That or they put heavy restrictions on streamers streaming it. But I know the devs said some things regarding streaming
@@jia3ds Yeahh. Im not really complaining but just when the game Im most excited about and seemingly him enjoying it too that I have to wait like episodic playthrough from other channels
@@giomoses3229the rules only applies to people they gave the keys to. (So the company doesn’t get in trouble if anything happens.)
If the game was purchased, non of the rules apply.
Those cloud physics are actually insane 😮
i think its the best in gaming so far
Frl gave me hella cinematic sekiro vibes. Might get this game cuz sekiro had me hooked, amd this game gives that “satisfying combat” feel like sekiro did.
@@coolraygamingI dont think you’ll get the same satisfying combat as sekiro. sekiro is much more deliberate like dark souls and black myth is more of a hack n slash, but still looks fun
@@coolraygamingDodging is all you have in the game. There is a parry, but it's a spell that's on a cooldown. The heavy attacks feel satisfying, but the light attacks don't. You'll have to play around with spells and different stances if you want to have a good time. It ain't as satisfying as Sekiro if you enjoyed the parry system in that game imo.
I reallly thought this game wasnt gonna be all that good really and just some jank game that got hype for standing up to DEI.. But oh my god that intro f*cking slaps. This is on the top of my liist to play now. RIP sweet baby DEI, do not come back, nobody wants you.
Yeah, I just started playing the game yesterday. If I'm being honest, I replayed the intro like three times, and it was exciting each time. That first fight, with Erlang, is really fun.
3:54 I can already see the amount of meme potential from that line alone
16:34 it's not a little hand, imo it's a backscratcher, to scratch your back, it's satisfying
That bo staff choreography is amazing the flairs are the perfect balance of safe and flashy too
The martial art style with the staff is actually existed. It is based off of Shaolin’s style.
@@TrungTH1190 yea I know Shaolin also had tricks, I like the one where they angle it and stand on it using weight and strength it's impressive stuff man
When WuKong faces the giant gods, it is like China facing the bullying of the entire Western countries alone and refusing to succumb.
wukong voice actor sounds like hes trying to play joker
To be fair, Wukong is conniving but retains a playful demeanor. Almost arrogant because he knows nobody is capable of throwing hands with him. Hence why it may sound like he’s always cheery and boastful.
Wukong is the embodiment of "I will taunt you, beat you, then dance on your corpse and parade you around like a sick joke"
Yeah but not in the slightest
@@holykonchu7250 you explained it better 😂
Chinese audio is the way to go
Please upload your full play-through of this, I’m already heavily invested
16:38 that's the aforementioned back scratcher
Charlie really looked at Pangu's Axe crashing down and said he could tank that.
I kinda prefer him uploading gameplay instead of streaming because my man is immersed.
The clouds moving in the first fight gave my inner child such joy. This is truly next gen and it's beautiful
One of the coolest things I've ever seen in gaming, the volumetrics in this game are absolutely bonkers
You missed a whole boss that gives you an ability in the forest
