For sure Doritos Pope will "snub" this game just like Hogwarts Legacy. Would be hilarious if they give it to SW Outlaws or AC Shadows think of the backlash it'll have.
As a Black man, having inclusion isn't necessary in some games, especially when it comes to this game, which is a CHINESE mythology. No propaganda, just fun. I'm getting this game.
I agree with you, brother. I'm a black man too and I am confident to say to hell with inclusivity and diversity. Wukong is standing on business!!!!!! 💯💯
@WhiskerWit-z2p Right. It only applies with material that makes sense. For example, if you're to make a game that a woman is the protagonist, like some are in the past, it'll make sense. Inclusion has to be relevant to the story and game you're trying to create. For example, in GTA 5, you had the Ballad for Gay Tony, where you're working for a gay club owner who is gay. Makes sense. Don't include people for the sake of doing it.
Plus, the main character is a Monkey, from a Chinese novel written thousand years ago. BTW, there’re all kinds of animals in the novel, it’s actually very diverse.
Ah, yes. Chinese mythology needs to include black people, trans people, and strong independant women in their stories. How could they do this to us Americans?
The game does serve those LGBT purposes: * The main character is a black monkey. * The monkey can transform to different monsters with different gender. So can many other monsters transform themselves from male to female. * Strong independent women ? Watch the chapter 4. You don't want to mess with the female spiders. This is the best LGBT-infused game ever.
Actually there is tons of woke things in it. * The main character is a black monkey. * The love story between a white spider and the original monkey budda. * Many varieties of monsters with different colors. * ... The only problem is that they didn't pay DEI a cent for the "guidance" of being woke.
As a southeast Asian who grew up watching Journey to the West TV series every afternoon, there is something wrong with the brains of western game journalists and reviewers.
The cycle of the woke crowd: 1. Pretend to be journalists to criticize and rate games as lacking woke elements. 2. Game companies fear losing their ESG investments. 3. Sweet Baby appears and says, "Hire us to solve this problem." 4. The studio hires SBI to insert woke elements into the game. 5. The pretend game journalists heap praise and give high scores. 6. Gamers can't play the game because it's too woke. 7. The game fails, revenue plummets, the studio closes, and employees are laid off. 8. The pretend journalists blame the gamers for being discriminatory and stubborn. 9. After washing their hands of the blame, they go find a new studio to insert woke elements into.

Because the so called woke people are not really that woke. They just don't give a shit about Chinese culture. They only think about themselves and if other people doesn't want to be like them, they criticise you.

Based on the original novel ..... Wukong was born from a rock so he's an orphan. He's the only "rock monkey" in the world so he's a nearly extinct species. He was able to transform into male or female so he's gender fluid. He's tiny and ugly and was often ridiculed for his appearance. He ate mostly fruits so he's a vegetarian.

Amen! Loved it , I'm glad it was all asian people , based in Asia. I hate western society these days. Well , our media/gov/game journos. Hate them! I hate em
What's so hard about focusing on the game rather than agendas? It not like enjoying the game makes you sexist or racist or anything, right? Oh I forgot we live in the Clown World now, my bad.
clown world is just in west world industry. All asia still based straight mind. if you want to living in asia, my is recommendation Japan, South Korea, philippines. they have more free speech like west.
I'm not kidding, Black Myth Wukong has the most diverse characters I've ever seen since Rango, like each boss and NPC's have their own personality straight up from Rango
It's a monkey game. They should leave monkeys alone instead of trying their ass off for turning that monkey aka Sun WuKong into a gay monkey with purple or pink fur. 😂
@@KalaHaha-cy5kh LoL. As a girl, the novel was definitely not my favorite. Females in the book were beautiful and tried to seduce Wukong's master, so they could eat his flesh (to become human!). As I grew up, I start to like Wukong character. He is not the one to be messed with, not even the woke virus.
Buying the game just to spite them. We need this degree of gaming back and rid ourselves of these BS "Inclusivity and diversity" standards for games. It's not healthy and it ruins the industry.
Since I was a kid, the media has been saying bad things about China, so I traveled to China, and guess what I saw? It was safety, prosperity, and technology. Now the media is saying bad things about this game, so I'm going to buy it.
As a game reviewer, I fully agree with the terms set by Game Science. Just play the game and talk about it (graphics, gameplay, moveset, music, etc.) Keep personal BS out of it. And it isn't just games, movies should be done the same way as well. Watch the movie and talk about it. Simple. These woke mofos need to go back to sleep.
Forced Inclusivity and Diversity is genuinely one of the dumbest, most childish things we have had in entertainment industry. Is it good to have all kinds of stories and characters? Yes, absolutely. Is it imperative that no one is unfairly not given a chance when trying to get the part they fit in? Absolutely. But to force inclusivity and diversity into every project is the death of unique stories of all kinds and the birth of homogenized gray mass entertainment that tries to cater to everyone and include everything and never tell any kind of specialized story about any particular angle or people. That should be obvious to any logical adult and it's absolutely baffling this is going as far as it is, being entertained as something good. Infact those people who stare at the races of every single character are more racist for being hyperfixated on valuing people based on race.
Indeed, this game itself is quite inclusive and diverse. Forcing a game to do "DEI" in only their way, and bash it when it didn't follow their "guidance", is quite a dis-service to the definition of "DEI" itself.
"Infact those people who stare at the races of every single character are more racist for being hyperfixated on valuing people based on race." At last somebody voiced this out!
@@CarlosJimenez-pz1dqbring back 2000 to 2015 when no one forced this bs and developers could have so much freedom. People get way too offended these days.
I am the native Chinese and read the stories of Wukong in tons of versions since a child. What I can only say is the concept of the Wukong story is the most diverse one among all the Chinese literary masterpieces. You know what, Wukong is born from the stone which is used to fix the broken world.... the last stone which was left alone. It is not even given the decisive gender and supposedly it is the most diverse one, no gender/monkey/minority/excluded by all other supreme beings, fighting its way out until becoming one of the gods... how come there are not enough tags for so-called DEI? I can only say those so-called DEI activitists instead are not inclusive enough to emrace the the true diversity of the real world
I lived and worked in China for 10 years and the list of "Don'ts" is pretty much CPC guidelines for social media. None of this would be suitable content on their social media and would be policed pretty hard, so my money is on this simply being a translation of what they would send to Chinese social media influencers/game reviewers. Of course, the woke Western will always seek out an opportunity to play the victim card, but that is just a reflection of their own arrogance in their belief that everything revolves around them. Fuck wokeness.
Agree with you totally. These "guidelines" are not specifically targeting "western woke" audiences but rather it just being the norm how China operates across social media. You would be familiar with Billibill, the Chinese TH-cam equivalent, and to open an account on that platform you need to complete a very extensive questionnaire form about how to treat others online. And as for Covid goes, in China now Covid is a word you are NOT allowed to discuss! It is up there with Tianeman and Taiwan. You just do not talk about that subject now in Chinese society. This is just how the Chinese work with social media. Nothing woke (specific) about it......
@@wukong_willAnother point we could mention too is that companies could be held responsible for the actions of individuals, so a company asking people to review their game (whether on Billibilli or Weibo or what not) could be blamed for people's misbehaviour and "sowing dissent" as well.
@@wukong_willnot allowed to discuss about covid in China? Where the f you get this from? Are you even Chinese or living in China?! Stop farting nonsense
@@wukong_will what nonsense! People are not allowed to talk about covid or Taiwan? Are you one of the paid troll sponsored by Taiwan? Stop spreading lies here.
Chinese people get things done, and this extends to Chinese people overseas as well. Movies and games are made for people to enjoy, not to cater to the feelings and emotions of the weak & woke. This was achieved with this game.
hanks to the production crew. They are simply superb. When I laid eyes on this portrait for the first time four years ago, I couldn't envision it being real. And now it's a reality. Such a teeny-tiny team managed to pull off a 3A-level masterpiece. How amazing! They are truly awesome.
Yo this is just ridiculous, I’m lgbt and I am poc and bro, I agree that these journalists need to stfu 😭 they making the rest of us WHO DONT CARE ABOUT INCLUSIVITY where it doesn’t belong LOOK BAD, it’s a game based on Chinese mythology and history, and it takes place in a time period where stuff like that really doesn’t even matter, people put woke and lgbt into the same category and it’s not, woke people are not in the same category, cause when I see people acting like this, it EMBARRASSES ME cause not all of us think like that or act this way but it gives a bad impression of us, when we are included in their stupid woke rants 💀 I’m getting this game because I love journey to the west and the story of sun Wu Kong and all his representations in media have led me down the rabbit hole a few years back to learn about him snd the history of where he originated from, IM BUYING THIS GAME not for “inclusivity” 😒 BUT BECAUSE IT LOOKS AWSOME
The game is an amazing piece of art, the journalists translated wrongly what devs said, called them sexist, said the game don't have enough diversity 😂, the devs didn't gave a shit, now journalists are melting.
As someone who identifies as a monkey man, it feels good to finally see myself represented on the screen. Can't wait to purchase and support the developer! Game looks awesome!
Right...the leaked documents where reviewers and streamers can not talk about "nudity, politics about China, violence, fetishization, etc" .... is so "based", right? Communist countries dictating what Westerners can and can not say is so "based". Being a communist CCP lapdog, is so "based". Clown.
China and russia based? China? A communist ruled, corrupt and aggressive country with some of the weakest freedom rights on the planet. And the same pretty much also applies to russia with the added component of that state literally invading a neighbouring state because that state is too democratic and they want to take that territory. You don't have to like wokeness and neither do I but calling a state based because it's agenda regarding wokeness can be narrowed down to ,,gay bad" is crazy. That's like going up to a murderer and calling him based because you like his haircut...
As an Indian I support these chinese devs, they are doing the right thing. I mean if you want to discuss political matters there's other platforms available, a game is NOT a platform to satisfy your ego.
I was waiting for reviews to come out before deciding to buy. As soon as I saw the "negative" point that it was lacking in Diversity and Inclusion, it immeidately made it a must buy. Take my money Game Science!!
I love how the modern Urinalists review games, if they review it badly for "lacking inclusivity and diversity" it's an instant buy! However if it's praised, it's Woke AF and Avoided!
The same journalists who are mad because there aren't a lot of women in Black Myth: Wukong, Are the same journalists who were angry at Stellar Blade for having a strong, independent, attractive, female lead. Games Journalists attack women more far than those 'evil misogynists' do.
Journey to the West is a Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng'en. It is regarded as one of the great Chinese novels, and has been described as arguably the most popular literary work in East Asia

Godzilla minus 1 had NO diversity and inclusion...and it was GREAT!
We need to return to this
And budged around 1 mln USD ..... compare that to other flops from Hollywood. .
@milton1448
their "diversity" motto is just hypocritical BS.
Asians and Indians are basically 4 billion people, and they are rarely represented in their woke movies.
and notice that the Left didn't object to that.
Why?
Bc diversity means less W people.
Amen! Loved it , I'm glad it was all asian people , based in Asia. I hate western society these days. Well , our media/gov/game journos. Hate them! I hate em
@mstrikesback168
Exactly.
They are anti wht, heterophobes and antimale.
I'm buying it just because game "journalists" are upset.
They literally have anything to be upset over a character that isn’t a woman
What's so hard about focusing on the game rather than agendas? It not like enjoying the game makes you sexist or racist or anything, right? Oh I forgot we live in the Clown World now, my bad.
Nothing is stopping you from moving to China, where TH-cam is banned.
I don't think many of them have played games, the sound design disturbs their echo chambers.
clown world is just in west world industry. All asia still based straight mind.
if you want to living in asia, my is recommendation Japan, South Korea, philippines. they have more free speech like west.
Yeah no, we’re living in a world built off racism.
I'm not kidding, Black Myth Wukong has the most diverse characters I've ever seen since Rango, like each boss and NPC's have their own personality straight up from Rango
Lack of female characters...
Did they assume those characters' gender? That's rich!
It's a monkey game. They should leave monkeys alone instead of trying their ass off for turning that monkey aka Sun WuKong into a gay monkey with purple or pink fur. 😂
lol. Their journey includes women, i.e. they entered country of girls. The monk resisted the temptation of marrying the queen.
Yup, through out the whole game we have no idea whether the black monkey is male or female.
@@PhoenixBook1898 who cares , not everything is about women
@@KalaHaha-cy5kh LoL. As a girl, the novel was definitely not my favorite. Females in the book were beautiful and tried to seduce Wukong's master, so they could eat his flesh (to become human!). As I grew up, I start to like Wukong character. He is not the one to be messed with, not even the woke virus.
Why would China (or any other country, for that matter) obey these people's ridiculous rules?
The west is not even their primary market.
I never heard of this game, but if leftist journos are trying to cancel it, Im buying it automatically
You wont regret it
Be aware that this game is actually quite inclusive and diverse.
@@Thephilpw99we have monkeys, bulls, bugs, rats, snakes, whatever else do u need
Buying the game just to spite them. We need this degree of gaming back and rid ourselves of these BS "Inclusivity and diversity" standards for games. It's not healthy and it ruins the industry.
Bought a copy of the game for every family member, cousins that have a PS5. The Journos can go have fun with a banana.
That cost a pretty penny
@@letsgoletsgoletsgoletsgoletsgo Totally worth it. Most loved it and spread word to their friends and so on. Hope you had fun with it too
I want to know why we give so much power to a group of people that is not a race that's less than ten percent
These Journos are a joke, clueless and have no shame to embarrass themselves.
Since I was a kid, the media has been saying bad things about China, so I traveled to China, and guess what I saw? It was safety, prosperity, and technology. Now the media is saying bad things about this game, so I'm going to buy it.
U won't regret!
Its funny because one of many reasons im buying this game is because its not pandering to these weirdos.
As a game reviewer, I fully agree with the terms set by Game Science. Just play the game and talk about it (graphics, gameplay, moveset, music, etc.) Keep personal BS out of it. And it isn't just games, movies should be done the same way as well. Watch the movie and talk about it. Simple. These woke mofos need to go back to sleep.
Forced Inclusivity and Diversity is genuinely one of the dumbest, most childish things we have had in entertainment industry. Is it good to have all kinds of stories and characters? Yes, absolutely. Is it imperative that no one is unfairly not given a chance when trying to get the part they fit in? Absolutely.
But to force inclusivity and diversity into every project is the death of unique stories of all kinds and the birth of homogenized gray mass entertainment that tries to cater to everyone and include everything and never tell any kind of specialized story about any particular angle or people.
That should be obvious to any logical adult and it's absolutely baffling this is going as far as it is, being entertained as something good.
Infact those people who stare at the races of every single character are more racist for being hyperfixated on valuing people based on race.
why you gringos always put black man good and white man bad? , black man can be evil too , they are very racist towards us latinos
Indeed, this game itself is quite inclusive and diverse.
Forcing a game to do "DEI" in only their way, and bash it when it didn't follow their "guidance", is quite a dis-service to the definition of "DEI" itself.
"Infact those people who stare at the races of every single character are more racist for being hyperfixated on valuing people based on race."
At last somebody voiced this out!
@@Ocro555 for this people its always about race , political agenda 24/7
@@CarlosJimenez-pz1dqbring back 2000 to 2015 when no one forced this bs and developers could have so much freedom. People get way too offended these days.
I am the native Chinese and read the stories of Wukong in tons of versions since a child. What I can only say is the concept of the Wukong story is the most diverse one among all the Chinese literary masterpieces. You know what, Wukong is born from the stone which is used to fix the broken world.... the last stone which was left alone. It is not even given the decisive gender and supposedly it is the most diverse one, no gender/monkey/minority/excluded by all other supreme beings, fighting its way out until becoming one of the gods... how come there are not enough tags for so-called DEI? I can only say those so-called DEI activitists instead are not inclusive enough to emrace the the true diversity of the real world
I lived and worked in China for 10 years and the list of "Don'ts" is pretty much CPC guidelines for social media. None of this would be suitable content on their social media and would be policed pretty hard, so my money is on this simply being a translation of what they would send to Chinese social media influencers/game reviewers.
Of course, the woke Western will always seek out an opportunity to play the victim card, but that is just a reflection of their own arrogance in their belief that everything revolves around them. Fuck wokeness.
Agree with you totally. These "guidelines" are not specifically targeting "western woke" audiences but rather it just being the norm how China operates across social media. You would be familiar with Billibill, the Chinese TH-cam equivalent, and to open an account on that platform you need to complete a very extensive questionnaire form about how to treat others online.
And as for Covid goes, in China now Covid is a word you are NOT allowed to discuss! It is up there with Tianeman and Taiwan. You just do not talk about that subject now in Chinese society.
This is just how the Chinese work with social media. Nothing woke (specific) about it......
@@wukong_willAnother point we could mention too is that companies could be held responsible for the actions of individuals, so a company asking people to review their game (whether on Billibilli or Weibo or what not) could be blamed for people's misbehaviour and "sowing dissent" as well.
@@wukong_willnot allowed to discuss about covid in China? Where the f you get this from? Are you even Chinese or living in China?! Stop farting nonsense
@@wukong_will what nonsense! People are not allowed to talk about covid or Taiwan? Are you one of the paid troll sponsored by Taiwan? Stop spreading lies here.
@@wukong_will Who told you people in China dont talk about c0vid or t@iwan? Are you one of the tr0lls sponsored by t@iwan ?
Am I the only one who thinks a game with a monkey man and other animal people is THE most diverse game ever done? Those people are insane xD
You are not alone. I personally think this is the most DEI game the world have ever seen.
They mad because they failed and earn so little money
I'm so ready. The buy button doesn't stand a chance
Chinese people get things done, and this extends to Chinese people overseas as well. Movies and games are made for people to enjoy, not to cater to the feelings and emotions of the weak & woke. This was achieved with this game.
Imagine being this angry about actually having to DO YOUR JOB.
There was a time nobody cared. They're creating a problem where one doesn't exist.
Where did that time go? Why is everyone trying to find themselves in a situation where they have no backbone and are offended?
Should have added “no bitching about your personal life too”
the most satisfying part is the fact these journos have no impact at all. 🤣
hanks to the production crew. They are simply superb. When I laid eyes on this portrait for the first time four years ago, I couldn't envision it being real. And now it's a reality. Such a teeny-tiny team managed to pull off a 3A-level masterpiece. How amazing! They are truly awesome.
Giving an activist a pen doesn't make him/her a journalist.
This Game is earning more than Sweet Baby's Extortion Bill.
What do they want, black people in ancient China?
Stick it to the woke culture. This game is going to be lit!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
takes me back to when these fuckers tried to boycott Hogwarts Legacy
Funny world, where a negative review from "establishment" or "mainstream" media organisation is a glowing endorsement for functional, thinking people
100% about to become the game of the year 🤣
Why doesn’t madden have women? It’s not diverse enough!
Yo this is just ridiculous, I’m lgbt and I am poc and bro, I agree that these journalists need to stfu 😭 they making the rest of us WHO DONT CARE ABOUT INCLUSIVITY where it doesn’t belong LOOK BAD, it’s a game based on Chinese mythology and history, and it takes place in a time period where stuff like that really doesn’t even matter, people put woke and lgbt into the same category and it’s not, woke people are not in the same category, cause when I see people acting like this, it EMBARRASSES ME cause not all of us think like that or act this way but it gives a bad impression of us, when we are included in their stupid woke rants 💀 I’m getting this game because I love journey to the west and the story of sun Wu Kong and all his representations in media have led me down the rabbit hole a few years back to learn about him snd the history of where he originated from, IM BUYING THIS GAME not for “inclusivity” 😒 BUT BECAUSE IT LOOKS AWSOME
Western journalists will really review bomb a game for not having lgbt monsters. Or diverse animal human hybrids. What a joke
Some of them are LGBT monsters, and most of them are animal human hybrids.
What’s funny is they are complaining because Wukong isn’t Black.
Wukong is not black, but the monkey you are playing is black.
The game is an amazing piece of art, the journalists translated wrongly what devs said, called them sexist, said the game don't have enough diversity 😂, the devs didn't gave a shit, now journalists are melting.
I'm proud being a Wokephobic
"Y'all can come in, but leave your bullshit at the door."
That’s pretty much the policy of China on every aspect.
fun game loved every minutes of it
I preordered, screw your modern standards
As someone who identifies as a monkey man, it feels good to finally see myself represented on the screen. Can't wait to purchase and support the developer! Game looks awesome!
Its crazy how china and russia are more based than half of america today
Right...the leaked documents where reviewers and streamers can not talk about "nudity, politics about China, violence, fetishization, etc" .... is so "based", right? Communist countries dictating what Westerners can and can not say is so "based". Being a communist CCP lapdog, is so "based". Clown.
Yeah, Russia and China that both banned TH-cam and censor everything, just like these developers, is so "based".
You guys fear the thing in the thumbnail to much , stand up and fight for you country from wokeness
In more ways than one 👍....
China and russia based?
China? A communist ruled, corrupt and aggressive country with some of the weakest freedom rights on the planet.
And the same pretty much also applies to russia with the added component of that state literally invading a neighbouring state because that state is too democratic and they want to take that territory.
You don't have to like wokeness and neither do I but calling a state based because it's agenda regarding wokeness can be narrowed down to ,,gay bad" is crazy. That's like going up to a murderer and calling him based because you like his haircut...
As an Indian I support these chinese devs, they are doing the right thing. I mean if you want to discuss political matters there's other platforms available, a game is NOT a platform to satisfy your ego.
Those people are so freaking miserable
Miserable people with no fucking talent
I was waiting for reviews to come out before deciding to buy. As soon as I saw the "negative" point that it was lacking in Diversity and Inclusion, it immeidately made it a must buy. Take my money Game Science!!
Who is gonna play this and think about their feminism and c-vid?? What's wrong with people
They dont have anything else in their empty lifes.
It's actually standard chinese guidelines. Shut up about politics and anything that can start controversy.
I have been waiting for this game my entire life. ❤ its time!
I love how the modern Urinalists review games, if they review it badly for "lacking inclusivity and diversity" it's an instant buy!
However if it's praised, it's Woke AF and Avoided!
Subscribed to your channel. Applause for being brave enough to be honest!
4 hours to go in my region. Duck the Clownalists.
How are people still taking IGN seriously ?
The same journalists who are mad because there aren't a lot of women in Black Myth: Wukong,
Are the same journalists who were angry at Stellar Blade for having a strong, independent, attractive, female lead.
Games Journalists attack women more far than those 'evil misogynists' do.
they are just angry about not earning $7 million consultstion money from those games. They do not really care about minorities
This so-called journalist is sick.
Game of the year 10/10 😎
I actually recommend that more companies take this approach, especially if they want to save jobs.
They want gamers out of the gaming scene but they are the ones going to be leaving soon.
Journey to the West is a Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng'en. It is regarded as one of the great Chinese novels, and has been described as arguably the most popular literary work in East Asia
best part about this game, no diversity :)
There are tons of diversity in this game. It's just not done by their "guidance".
@@Thephilpw99 I mean diverse ad a female lead and a lesbian love story side plot
Yea, their 'guidance' meaning China needs to pay, or they will destroy you!
What does it mean "inclusivity"? like lack of homosexual snake head monsters, or female crab head monsters?! What are they talking about?
Say what you want on Russia and China, but they at least aren't into BS
They are. Just not the same BS.
and Singapore as well
@@JustADude908 Sums you up pretty well
No diversity and inclusion?!
Say no more, just take my money
screw the journalists
imagine if it were called white wukong...
Games will be much better once these developers/companies realize they aren't accountability to "Journalists".
the Gameplay is crazy bruuhhhh!! Like woww!!! I don't regret my $60 to spent to game like this. I consider as one of my best decision since Elden Ring
