Except for the fact its not a Souls game like everyone keeps claiming, Its a boss rush game above everything else with a slight challenge. But a big part of the "challenge" is the god awful input delay
For those who didn't know, that skill under smash stance is indeed a parry. When you have at least 1 focus point, press heavy attack when the monster is about to strike during your light attack combos, you do a counter attack smash to the enemy instead.
You can buff it a ton and get way wider window for it, but I think you have to tank a little damage even when it connects. But once you get the upgrades that heal you every time you use attacks that spend focus points, it balances itself out. Starts out weak, becomes an awesome tool to rely on, especially against enemies that have really long combo chains so dodging and attacking feels less viable.
I have been saying this exact comment on like 5 other TH-cam channels. For some reason NO ONE READS! Many complain how they don't like that Rock Hard is the "only" parry when you have Smash and Thrust stance parries. I've seen Seereax, Jettro Jettro, Mythology Guy, Max Dood and others play this and no one reads the damn skill descriptions. Double parrying in a single combo string feels so good, man.
FINALLY! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR PLAYTHROUGH. Thank you so much for uploading hours of gameplay. Can't wait to see your reactions through everything. You brought this game to my attention YEARS ago and it has always been in the back of my mind. It is really fun to play! PEACE
I just wanna say it ran really well 95% of the time on my ps5. I had no more glitches and stuttering than I do on anything else that comes out these days. Honesty ran better than other games in recent memory.
You have to really read the move sets for each stance. Power stance is good for big clunky enemies. Use the party it has to interrupt long wind up attacks. Pillar stance is good for enemies that do big AOE attacks. Like the wondering whight. When he starts to smash the ground, jump up on the staff. Thrust stance is good for long range attacks and hit and run tactics. Try using it on shield welding enemies. Think of the stances being similar to Ghost of Tsushima
To everyone that is watching only the youtube videos for this. Max going to miss alot of things in the game. He's on chapter 4 already on stream and his mods has been banning anyone that tells him about what he's missing during the game.
@@usamimi-no-majo Not for me 😂. I'm just putting this comment on TH-cam to hopefully stop future comments on how he's missing things. People will still do it though 😂
Dude taking blind playthrough to a new level: by actually being blind. This is what I imagine how the journalist said the game is 20 hours long plays the game.
The issue i have with Max sometimes is him just not readying skills just for viewer engagment. The frog miniboss is one such moment were he had the skill that lets him avoid ground attacks but doesnt use the skill.
Wow this seems like he's either not enjoying the game too much or doesn't have enough or maybe just not that into it. He normally spends his time exploring each corner of a game but, good to see him breezing through the game easily
@@haydenmadden8921 That's good to hear. From this episode, it felt like he seems to either think the game is "meh" or below average with how much he's complaining about stuff.
Its beautiful to see max think “it would be cool if they gave you this” just comboing mid boss battle and knowing just how close those things are. The pacing in this game imo is wonderful and I enjoyed the story so much I didnt want to leave a single area until I found everything. Seeing him start it already makes me feel nostalgic for this game. With the cinematics and music as well? Def goty atm I feel. I hope people feel like me in thinking this game was above expectations. I get a bloodborne type affection for it already.
@@jrb3691 yes, im close to 100% and seeing his reaction to the beginning makes me think of how hype I was when I kept new moves and having the combat and progression click. Its a good feeling to see his reactions and remembering how hype and excited I was at certain points.
@@StriderZesseihe's literally the only streamer I watched who didn't immediately get the combo mechanics. And dude I've just completed this game 100% with secret ending. It wasn't that difficult to figure out light light light hard hard dodge dodge light light light hard again.
Black Myth: Wukong far exceeded my expectations. It's been a long time since I had so much fun with a game. That being said, I can tell that it is my personal 2024 GOTY.
It’s funny if you don’t know anything about Sun Wukong you think Wukong is going on some kind of suicide run at the beginning when really it was everyone standing against him that were so overmatched.
I mean he pretty much was, he could defeat all of those enemies individually but hes not actually totally invulnerable. he's just so brazen he would never consider backing down
And people that don't know the story don't know that the only reason he "lost" was cause of that little golden crown on his head which is very important
I mean, he's clearly the protagonist, his name is in the title. You gotta be 3 years old or completely new to video games and general storytelling to think that.
@@doryfishie2That'd be like saying the neir MC is the good guy only to feel like sht after killing the trash golem or hanzel and gretel on your 2nd+ playthrough.
Every goddamn video on Whiteclad Noble: "Just wait for him to come to you, don't rush into him." Max: "Get greedy." Then proceeds to level the guy in less than 5 tries.
It's hilarious to watch Max unluckily make so many bad decisions/assumptions that made his start up much more difficult... But fun to watch... Lol even down to the skipping the minions on his boss returns after death, costing him the will that would have been adding to things like his sparks and currency for upgrades... Lucky us tho... Lol
Unfortunately this game came at the wrong time for him. Its the golden era of fighting games at the moment. He wont(didn’t) have the time to probably play a thorough campaign.
He's going to miss a shit ton of things. His mods is banning people for giving him hints or telling him that he missed something. He's halfway through chapter 4 and has missed important QOL upgrades lol
No you wont. LMFAO this game is super linear because its a boss rush game and not even anything close to a Souls like. The biggest part of its challenge is the god awful input delay/lag. The game doesn't really have "secrets" its too linear for that.
@@lutherheggs451So the story is linear but not the maps lol. In Max run alone, he's missed a village hub where you get a blacksmith to upgrade your armor sets and to farm materials to make more medicine in chapter 3, secret transformation in the game that also gives passive skills in the skill tree after unlocking, and he's also missed some spells that you only get for going off track. So yes, he's missed alot of stuff 😂
@@lutherheggs451you must be seething at how successful this game is lmao you should actually play it first instead of blatantly lying dude you’re weak LMFAOOOO😂😂😂
I hope max can realize how important "seeing through" is. It is actually one of the most imortant core mechanics of the hole fighting interaction and it can improve the selections of facing boss' attacks.
Not entirely true. Thrust has it as well. Your retreat will give the red glow and turn you invisible. It also works with immobilize, but the timing is really strict, you dodge the attack and cast immobilize which gives you a huge cool down refund and benefits from "Seeing through" perks.
I had to pause when he said MH is not an action game... like bro, its the definition of an action game. 3rd person reaction based combat, it does have RPG elements but definitly more action based.
You can easily prove it's not a RPG simply based on the fact you can not out-gear or out-build the game. There is no breaking Monster Hunter by coming up with some wacky build to cheese the game or anything like that. You can take the most objectively OP build into an endgame fight and still get bodied within a matter of seconds. Your personal skill is the only thing that matters really. Monster Hunter is the definition of action. This is extra funny because he also brings up Nioh in this vid and mentions how your first playthrough is a total slog because of Ki regeneration being too restrictive. Like my man, Nioh is an insanely customizable RPG. If you're having Ki troubles you just modify your build and get some Ki modifiers on your gear. All it takes is some stat rerolling. I like Max or else I wouldn't be here but the man has a comfort zone and he heavily struggles outside of it lol.
The first hour and a half of the video: Complains about stamina. Completely ignores the entire page that health, mana and stamina are upgraded on. Upgrades pillar stance instead. Continues to complain about stamina.
something that took me a while to realise was that the heavy attack mid-combo does shit damage - it's main use is to 'parry' attacks since it s through stuff. The straight up raw heavy attacks do a shit ton of damage though
@@luuna7626 Couple of things, like assumptions about how the game is supposed implement the mechanics when barely scratching the surface of the actual mechanics. For instance, at the very beginning he discovers his attacks take a lot of stamina, he just states "this game should have not have stamina bar", instead of respecting the decision of the game and seeing how to play around the established mechanics - at least until getting good grasp of all the mechanics. It's fine to criticize things you didn't like after having fully understood how stuff works, but being critical outright while barely discovering the systems is ridiculous. He didn't understand that jump attacks (which he spams) purposefully have huge base stamina consumption (without the talent unlocked later on), which IS the cause of him running out of stamina. Incorrect assumptions result in frustration, which results in disrespect. Also, he reads the first sentence of a talent description and assumes he fully understood how it works, when in fact he missed important info (the resolute strike one specifically). It's a certain level of "I know how things work in these games" without respecting the possibility that maybe the game does something differently.
You are being too sensitive in my opinion. That sarcasm is part of Max's charm. You even talk about disrespect. Do not make me laugh. But I kind of understand your stance. We are in that brief period of time where the game cannot be even slightly criticized because some people will get a brain infarction (I am not even saying he is right or wrong, but that's how he feels and it's completely valid). After some months that will change. Right now some people are overprotective of it because the game didn't bend the knee to certain company (which I am glad), but that also causes people to overrate and overprotect the game for the moment. Max is just being Max. Don't be too sensitive, please. He is playing a blind run. And with the number of great fighting games coming I understand why he is kind of rushing this game and his impatience. Maybe if one day he gives himself the chance to play WITHOUT streaming and without the pressure of time he will cherish and understand the game and its mechanics a little more. In any case, not everyone will like the game and those mechanics in the same level as you, and you should keep that in mind.
Just started and around 55:00 I noticed you didn't need to charge the extension manually, but hits gave you pips for the staff..... how long does it take Max to figure this out?
Bruh I’m over an hour into the video and I still haven’t seen him figure out that there is a light combo attack finisher, dude just keeps cancelling out of it with resolute strike every time haha I’m gonna be honest, if I didn’t see other people play before I played the game I probably would be just as lost. This is the kind of game where it definitely feels like there is a defined correct way to play it imo. Spam light attack and spells, and punish with heavy. Doesn’t get much more complicated than that.
Cool that you're paying this game potentially GOTY contender. Just a hint explore as much as possible before finishing the chp the game rewards u for it. Dont be afraid to backtrack, too cuz theres stuff you'll get in later chps to access previous chps. Side note: you missed the 3rd bell it leads to another boss. 2:00:00, also what the bosses say isn't word salad relevant to the lore if you're aware of it.
Watching this you realize how much more of a fanboy for FF7 Max is. Side content with barely any reward in FF7, does all of them, side content in Sun Wukong which fleshes out the story and gameplay, not interested.
This game has been weird to watch. Pat picked it up pretty quick and read the tutorials. Max buys a stance clearly labelled stance and says it's weird to press up on the D pad, but doesnt register that it is a stance haha. It's like the upside down
I’m watching this stream late and after the snake boss at about the 1 hour and 57 minute mark I’m screaming at him to go left for the secret boss lol I’m absolutely loving this game though.
Bullshit. there isn't an insane amount of content nor side quests. The game is as linear as could be and most of the short tiny separate paths are literally to get like A crafting item. Its not some deep ass Souls like. Its a mid boss rush game
@@lutherheggs451there’s so many secrets areas in each chapter with tons of content, you really shouldn’t act as an authority if you never played the game
Great Part 1 Playthrough of Black Myth: Wukong Max. This Game is Game of the Year for me. I do prefer the more Faster Souls Like Games, like Black Myth: Wukong, Jedi Fallen, Sekiro, God of War and even Nioh too name afew. Bloodborne i absolutely love and Mortel Shell was decent aswell, i find the actual Souls Games Tougher, Slower and Grindier but very rewarding if you take the time too get into them.
Kind of painful watching him fight and not knowing how to chain combos or stances together. He's literally the only streamer I watched who didn't almost immediately get the combo mechanics and go into the smash combo.
1:51:35 "Healing does not work" Everyone is going to hate me for saying this but the way healing is handled across the entire Soulslike genre is broken. In a perfect world healing should always be able to interrupt a dodge. At worst you should always with 100% reliability be able to queue a heal to follow a dodge by pressing the heal button at any point during the dodge. Right now I believe Wukong does have a short period where you can queue a heal but it's only the last 100ms or so of the dodge animation.
For a guy who supposedly plays a lot of souls games, he sure is ignorant and complaining a ton about souls mechanics. And there isn't nearly as much cheese as other formsoftware titles
max is so focused on proving it's a soulslike mainly based on the stamina bar is kinda annoying ngl. everyone else i know and myself see that Wukong is not a soulslike. a lot of the battle element you can find in the fromsoft titles existed before. the essentials of a soulslike are simply not present in wukong.
is there anything else for Max in this time??? I have never seen him this rushed before, it's like he just plays the game to finish it as fast and as uneventful as possible
for months, everyone was saying (rightly so) that this game looks too good to be true. But from what I'm hearing, it's even better. Incredible.
It's a great action game and reliably uses the source material as a foundation
Except for the fact its not a Souls game like everyone keeps claiming, Its a boss rush game above everything else with a slight challenge. But a big part of the "challenge" is the god awful input delay
@@lutherheggs451 >the god awful input delay.
So it IS like the OG Dark Souls, after all.
@@matrix3509that’s only you big dawg
You just don't know how to use combos. There's no delay 🤣 @@lutherheggs451
For those who didn't know, that skill under smash stance is indeed a parry. When you have at least 1 focus point, press heavy attack when the monster is about to strike during your light attack combos, you do a counter attack smash to the enemy instead.
It's kinda of a pain to do, and it's description sucks. it's pretty good tho once you level it up and get it down

Max is just being Max. Don't be too sensitive, please. He is playing a blind run. And with the number of great fighting games coming I understand why he is kind of rushing this game and his impatience.
Maybe if one day he gives himself the chance to play WITHOUT streaming and without the pressure of time he will cherish and understand the game and its mechanics a little more.
In any case, not everyone will like the game and those mechanics in the same level as you, and you should keep that in mind.
Max playthru is killing me lol
Just started and around 55:00 I noticed you didn't need to charge the extension manually, but hits gave you pips for the staff..... how long does it take Max to figure this out?
"Visuals"... For that word, all studios and publishers have ruined themselves!
Very nice.
Bruh I’m over an hour into the video and I still haven’t seen him figure out that there is a light combo attack finisher, dude just keeps cancelling out of it with resolute strike every time haha
I’m gonna be honest, if I didn’t see other people play before I played the game I probably would be just as lost. This is the kind of game where it definitely feels like there is a defined correct way to play it imo. Spam light attack and spells, and punish with heavy. Doesn’t get much more complicated than that.
This game story base reminds me of the forbidden kingdom movie with Jackie Chan and jet li
Man max really needs to learn how to read 😂
Souls with God of War back-end, that's a perfect way to explain it
Decides to play game more like Elden RIng. Also doesn't explore a single secret in chapter 1. Gotta love it.
Cool that you're paying this game potentially GOTY contender. Just a hint explore as much as possible before finishing the chp the game rewards u for it. Dont be afraid to backtrack, too cuz theres stuff you'll get in later chps to access previous chps.
Side note: you missed the 3rd bell it leads to another boss. 2:00:00, also what the bosses say isn't word salad relevant to the lore if you're aware of it.
Watching this you realize how much more of a fanboy for FF7 Max is. Side content with barely any reward in FF7, does all of them, side content in Sun Wukong which fleshes out the story and gameplay, not interested.
The complaints about the stamina got old real fast
Curious why the discourse around this game and it's developer didn't deter you from playing in the same way Stellar Blade did.
Max probably didn’t play it because it was too much of a coomer game for him
Let’s go! Been waiting to see if he will play through this, from what I’ve seen and heard this was worth the hype. ☁️💨
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 🔥
This does look very impressive
THE MOBILE SPIN CAN BE USED TO DAMAGE ENEMIES AND QUICKLY BUILD FOCUS
Oh no, he ran past Xu Dog's encounter without meeting him. He must go back and pet the dog.
This game has been weird to watch. Pat picked it up pretty quick and read the tutorials. Max buys a stance clearly labelled stance and says it's weird to press up on the D pad, but doesnt register that it is a stance haha. It's like the upside down
I was thinking about what he said, and my own playthrough of the game. If everything didn't cost something the game would be a breeze 🤣
I’m watching this stream late and after the snake boss at about the 1 hour and 57 minute mark I’m screaming at him to go left for the secret boss lol I’m absolutely loving this game though.
YEEEEEEEES!!!! I've been waiting for the ultimate dood to take this game on. Can't wait to watch this series!!!
Bro missed an insane amount of contents and side quest, it's like playing Elden Ring and run through main graces only
Bullshit. there isn't an insane amount of content nor side quests. The game is as linear as could be and most of the short tiny separate paths are literally to get like A crafting item. Its not some deep ass Souls like. Its a mid boss rush game
@@lutherheggs451Did you actually play this game? It sounds like you didn't.
@@lutherheggs451you most definitely have no idea what you are saying
@@lutherheggs451there’s so many secrets areas in each chapter with tons of content, you really shouldn’t act as an authority if you never played the game
@@lutherheggs451keep getting wrecked everywhere you cope to lmao
5:51 I can tell he's not playing on console
Son Goku Journey finally begins to the West!!! 🐉☯️🐉
That thumbnail art goes so freaking hard
That thumbnail. I wasn’t expecting a horror video!!!
Alternative title
"Go Back I want to be Monke"
Devolution cutscene background.
Great Part 1 Playthrough of Black Myth: Wukong Max.
This Game is Game of the Year for me.
I do prefer the more Faster Souls Like Games, like Black Myth: Wukong, Jedi Fallen, Sekiro, God of War and even Nioh too name afew.
Bloodborne i absolutely love and Mortel Shell was decent aswell, i find the actual Souls Games Tougher, Slower and Grindier but very rewarding if you take the time too get into them.
I didnt know i needed this untill i seen it.
Kind of painful watching him fight and not knowing how to chain combos or stances together. He's literally the only streamer I watched who didn't almost immediately get the combo mechanics and go into the smash combo.
Iam very surprised no1 in the twitch chat told him to pick up the spirit
You never used heavy attack when you had the chance almost. Tou should use heavy as possible
Im just about to start NG++ and Im still loving this game, its so good
Crimson Desert game's combat looks amazing too but comes out next year!!
Oh boy are go doods five hours of max getting destroyed and sent to the gulags
1:51:35 "Healing does not work"
Everyone is going to hate me for saying this but the way healing is handled across the entire Soulslike genre is broken.
In a perfect world healing should always be able to interrupt a dodge. At worst you should always with 100% reliability be able to queue a heal to follow a dodge by pressing the heal button at any point during the dodge.
Right now I believe Wukong does have a short period where you can queue a heal but it's only the last 100ms or so of the dodge animation.
this game a lowkey masterpiece
because the ads were already done by the novel JTTW, no need to exaggerate more.
omg that art for the thumbnail is so dope!!!!!
You missed secret boss from chapter 1 ringing 3 bells and the fox after defeating electric frog by the stairs
This character is the inspiration for goku from dbz. Its “Journey to the West” featuring the monkey king……
"Db", "Great Sage Equal To Heaven"
Been looking forward to watching Max play this game!
The last fight against the tiger dude was so exciting. Yr dodges are pretty good!
So no one is going to tell max that he miss the transformation to the Baby?
For a guy who supposedly plays a lot of souls games, he sure is ignorant and complaining a ton about souls mechanics. And there isn't nearly as much cheese as other formsoftware titles
Max loves that jump attack way too much gets him killed more often
max is so focused on proving it's a soulslike mainly based on the stamina bar is kinda annoying ngl.
everyone else i know and myself see that Wukong is not a soulslike. a lot of the battle element you can find in the fromsoft titles existed before. the essentials of a soulslike are simply not present in wukong.
Yeah doesn't feel like a souls game has some minor elements but feels like a normal action game
Nice, been waiting for him to return to monke
Welp who thinks hes going to finish the game?
Or get most of the bosses or care to?
is there anything else for Max in this time??? I have never seen him this rushed before, it's like he just plays the game to finish it as fast and as uneventful as possible
I'm so stupid! I've been taking the long way back to the rock golem. I didn't know it connected so close to THAT checkpoint. >:(
A yes
Returned to Monke
