For anyone wondering, Wukong has pretty much always sounded like this. Don’t put your expectations of some deep ass Kratos-like voice on him. He was born a playful mischievous monkey.
I just realized how little the Western audience actually know about Journey to the West, I thought it was more poplar than what I thought because I grow up with it, but apparently I was wrong.
about wukong's va, Wukong was always a goofball and the actor doing the original role in the tv show from the 80s sounded quite similar. It's a pretty good tribute xD.
11:57 If I'm not mistaken, the headband was given to wukong to discipline him and then he lost it when he attained Buddhahood. I'm guessing he lost Buddhahood, and the headband reappeared.
@@enightc The way the story goes. The headband “disappeared”. It was never directly stated that he took it off. But it is well known that headband has to be activated through chanting a specific “secret” chant. As far as I’m aware only like 3-5 people knew it and half of those are dead. My guess is that Buddha was being an asshole again.
I think Cohh's issue with Monkey's VA might be a cultural thing putting a western playful monkey archetype onto the character when if you know the lore Son Wukong is much more the anti-hero/trickster archetype.
Ahh the good old time of watching Monkey Magic after school as a kid and having no idea what it was about but it just kicked ass..... Monkey, Sandy, Pigsy, Tripitaka and Horse - what a gang =D And then finding out as an adult that the tales/character of Monkey were the inspiration for Dragonball - that blew my mind hahaha
This looks fracking epic! I feel as though I've been transported back in time to when I first watched classic chinese movies dealing with their mythos! I am getting this payday for certain.
really hope that more people learn about Journey to the West as result of this game, from how people react to Wukong's voice already tells me they have no clue about the character, because it fits 1 to the theme of the character, people are actually wanting Monkey sound like Kratos intensity is nonsense, monkey king is a prankster by nature, he pulls a lot of pranks on immortals and Gods, so many of his story are base on that which creates all kind of chaos in Heaven.
most games, cinematic intro, yapping, then title, then tutorial. wukong: cinematic intro, yapping+tutorial, then title. also, benchmarking within the full copy of game. gs: provided a standalone benchmarking tool.
15:15 RIP Cohh's Intel CPU this long chapter load is a strong indicator of 13 / 14th gen CPU degradation, for some the chapter load triggers a crash as well if the CPU is really degraded especially if the error is an Out of video memory error.
the opening is just what i was hoping it would be, now I got to go buy it. sadly looks like it beats the bitrate into the grave tho. but still looks really good
i waited so long to see cohhs reaction playing that Game and see how big his eyes get, playing the Intro already ... Awesome!!! #coohlove #keepthegoodwork
@@kiekeyz I think it makes him incredibly unique, part of his character is the playful quirky trashtalking. The voice took me by surprise but honestly you learn a bit about it him and it really fits.
the intro with the staff and the cloud looks like dragon ball, wen Goku was still a kid. monkey tail, flying cloud and a magic staff. was it based on the same myth?
I did the benchmark for this game, got 60 fps on medium settings easily with my card. Bought the game, I can barely run 30 fps with the lowest settings possible, not even running full resolution, supersampling maxed out on performance, audio stutters and intense lags. The benchmark is absolutely not a good way to check if you can run the game xD
i think the voice suits him, he's suppose to be an annoying mischievous monkey, but i think because he's showing more of his serious side during the intro so it's abit weird
The Win+R would be a bug and be cause of a Twitter outrage if this was a Bethesda game. Seriously though, that's weird it closed the game when you pressed those together.
Feel free to explain what was missed, I just bookmarked journey to the west myself and have been scanning the wikis. Not everyone's a lore junkee though, feel free to post and enlighten everyone. I know I'd read your comment!
@@nice2michu582he got forced to the west journey, he did his job but the king of gods doesn't trust him due to his powers so wanted to keep him trapped in heaven, all monkey wanted was to be free and be with his family of monkeys. They instead killed his kind to force him to take arms. Then they killed him. Then the game begins
@@nice2michu582 Quick summary, Wu kong was strong, immortal and a dick so he was wrecking Heaven for no reason. Then Buddha slap him and 500 years jails later send him on the Journey to the West, along with the Master monk and a bunch of misfit. After the journey, he and the others learn to be better people, so the whole group become Buddhas themselves. The story is kinda weird how Heaven just want to fight Wu Kong AGAIN since he was unbeatable. The Headband @11:50 was one of the head crushing device Buddha give to Master Monk at the start of the Journey. To control Wu Kong when he didn't obey or be a dick to others. They released him at the end of the Journey when they all become Buddhas. It may be a plot device of how Buddha is not in the story and also no one physically put it back on Wukong's head. Also no one apparently chanting Mantra to activate it.
Aah what a treat. Just opened Steam and saw the game launch add and thought to myself. "Hmm, I wonder when Cohh will post his playthrough". I open TH-cam to check his channel... video uploaded 3 min ago. Beautiful
i hate that Yet another game starts you off with a big fight and despite "winning" you still lose! and i hate that trope in games lately! it was in that recent Final fantasy game as well. What is the point of having you fight them and be capable of even making it seem like you can win just for it to be like Nope you still lose.
That is an awful ad banner from NVIDIA constantly extending out and ruining the first cutscene for me. I love watching Cohh but if it continues I'll have to watch a different stream - awful and very distracting!
I understand him having sponsorship, but it's way too distracting. It should be more subtle, i mean sure his diehard fans won't even gonna mention it, and i'm happy for him gettin money too, it ain't a negative opinion to call these things out, if it obstructs the viewer's experience.
@@Dr.HooWho Not while acting, you prepare with the script and learn the script, then you act, you can't act while reading from the script. Check the game "Still wakes the deep". That is good voice acting.
Hey when you already use their cards why wouldn't you take a big bag of money just to say "RTX is on" a handful of times? There's a difference between being a sellout and basically turning away free money.
@@MagicTater Right? People are weird. 😂 He's already using their cards so why on earth would he not do this? I don't think people actually know the definition of the words they use. A sell out would be someone who doesn't use/like the product but advertises it anyway for money. Unless the dude was joking, in which case: my bad, it's hard to tell sometimes. 😂
@@iCrowLink yeah exactly, sellout is a soulless shill, bro uses rtx in every game anyway so of course he's gonna take a free paycheck to advertise the thing he does on a daily basis

I agree. It irks me some people don't like the voice . Its what the voice should sound like so I am not bothered by it like some other people are.
I just realized how little the Western audience actually know about Journey to the West, I thought it was more poplar than what I thought because I grow up with it, but apparently I was wrong.
Havoc in heaven was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. I think his voice is just fine. I play with Chinese speech.
@@lancema4634bro, westerners are always were ignorant towards anything non-west
Yeah I get what Cohh was saying since he’s not familiar with the character, I actually think the English voice fits Wukong
about wukong's va, Wukong was always a goofball and the actor doing the original role in the tv show from the 80s sounded quite similar. It's a pretty good tribute xD.
differnt generation, the one that I know is the ones from the 90's Dicky Cheung's version.
this games wukong is just too breathy for me...
11:57 If I'm not mistaken, the headband was given to wukong to discipline him and then he lost it when he attained Buddhahood. I'm guessing he lost Buddhahood, and the headband reappeared.
It's their method of controlling him. What it shows is it was re used to lock his powers again. So basically the gods lied
@@enightc The way the story goes. The headband “disappeared”.
It was never directly stated that he took it off.
But it is well known that headband has to be activated through chanting a specific “secret” chant. As far as I’m aware only like 3-5 people knew it and half of those are dead.

26:38 absolute zinger
this games cutscenes fill me with nostalgia, reminds me of the Chinese movies i used to watch
but like modern and with glorious and epic coreos
no
The voice is spot on. It is how he should sound.
I think Cohh's issue with Monkey's VA might be a cultural thing putting a western playful monkey archetype onto the character when if you know the lore Son Wukong is much more the anti-hero/trickster archetype.
Yeah when I heard the voice it makes sense. Young wukong can be cast very playful but venerable wukong is more like you said
Ahh the good old time of watching Monkey Magic after school as a kid and having no idea what it was about but it just kicked ass..... Monkey, Sandy, Pigsy, Tripitaka and Horse - what a gang =D
And then finding out as an adult that the tales/character of Monkey were the inspiration for Dragonball - that blew my mind hahaha
The way they were saying monkey gave huge Frieza vibes, I thought it was just me.
FeelsStrongMan I remember this first reveal 4 years ago in 2020 time flies
That intro of the game was fcking badass damn
*@Cohh,* awesome stuff. I’m definitely looking forward to your playthrough! 👨🏻🍳🤌🏼
Wukong always reminds me of Warframe now. 😅🫴
This looks fracking epic! I feel as though I've been transported back in time to when I first watched classic chinese movies dealing with their mythos! I am getting this payday for certain.
Had to put that in fullscreen! Awesome!
I have finished the game at 100% achievement on steam and thus now I can start watching Cohh's playthrough :p I hope you had fun, time to find out.
This game is doing quite the numbers on steam.
Chinese games get big numbers
really hope that more people learn about Journey to the West as result of this game, from how people react to Wukong's voice already tells me they have no clue about the character, because it fits 1 to the theme of the character, people are actually wanting Monkey sound like Kratos intensity is nonsense, monkey king is a prankster by nature, he pulls a lot of pranks on immortals and Gods, so many of his story are base on that which creates all kind of chaos in Heaven.
that rtx logo placement annoyed me alot ^^
YES LET'S GOOOOOO!!!!! I'm so excited to see you play this. Enjoy!

You’re so right about Wukong’s English VA.
He sounds like Orochimaru from Naruto lmao
I love it lol. 😂😂
I deeply prefer the Chinese VA but I understand it's not convenient for a stream.
Yeah but that voice is what the developers wanted and what chinese say it should be so I accept that.
@@ANGRYWOLVERINE2060-ft2nc Oh for sure I'm not saying to reject it, I just think it's more difficult to suspend my disbelief with the English VA.
@lystic9392 its the same nasally high pitched voiced but in chinese 😭
I've heard a crazy amount of hype for this so I'm excited to see what you think.
Some of the scenes are definitely influenced by anime fights lol
bug eyes, goblin snozer, and a silly hair cut sing me up daddyo
Reminds me of the TV show "Monkey Magic" and now I'm showing my age, but awesome! Loved it as a kid.
This game looks so amazing, kinda makes me wish I was interested in games like these
i waited so long to see cohhs reaction playing that Game and see how big his eyes get, playing the Intro already ... Awesome!!! #coohlove #keepthegoodwork
i don't know how Cohh worgor about six relics and that we are collecting them but that was very funny moment on stream😂
getting strong GoW vibes!
Can relate to the computer issue. That's my problem area too :D
This loooooks so awesome ❤
I want to see kratos explore China next. So many gods n demons to interact with.
Oh, thank the lord. You like the voice, people been hating and it’s made it impossible to watch em 😂
same for me. Like they were expecting a goofball monkey to sound like Kratos smh. Western games have rotted some of our brains man lol

I'm a sneeeek! I'm a sneeeeeek!
Cloud surfing Monkeyman to the rescue!
sounds like Cicero, the assassin clown, from Skyrim :)
Wukong’s Chinese VA much better fit. Should’ve played with Chinese dub for lip syncing imo
Im finally to a Cohh series early.
Can't wait to see the reaction to Cohh noticing Asmon's cameo. 🅱️🅰️🕒D 🗿
I wonder if Cohh eventually turns on frame generation, it doubled my FPS in the game.
NVIDIA released a new driver last night supposedly to improve the performance of this game and other upcoming games.
Here we gooo *yippie*

Nice game , love it😊
Hey is GEFORCE RTX on?
Can anyone confirm if rtx is on😂
Wish i could play this game, but without an easy option i would not stand a chance, not all of us like to play hard games
the geforce stuff on screen is annoying. part the sponsor stuff?
Probs
How else would we be able to know the status of RTX? Seems necessary
Nvidia is already so dominate in the gaming market why do they still need to sponsor LULW
PagMan
Maybe the Monkey King is a snake, figuratively?
He always sounded like that, he does sound better in Chinese. But in most depiction of monkey king, it's always a higher pitch
@@enightc Higher pitch or not, this VA is horrendous for the job XD
@@notkenoagain I get it, I went and changed it to chinese with english subtitles immediately
Could you upload the Memory Fix Cohh?
“Dear Brother"? U guys sure this is the right way to translate like this?
It's nephew, right? To mock him? Since he's the nephew of the jade emperor and wukong is called "equal to heaven"
Main character sounds like he's channeling the Joker. Its an...interesting choice.
That isn't the main character and that how he normally is anyway
Pog
The amount of things you miss in that intro for not knowing the legend...

Monkey King TV -series anyone?
Me
There have been a few.
I heard the RTX is on
Hello from Taiwan. Glad to see Cobb is experiencing the mythology I grew up reading!
Nvidia just has to put their oily fingers on everything huh, it feels like someone is constantly bothering you at the theatre
Aah what a treat. Just opened Steam and saw the game launch add and thought to myself. "Hmm, I wonder when Cohh will post his playthrough". I open TH-cam to check his channel... video uploaded 3 min ago. Beautiful
Open your brain and start use it....
well thats way you need to play it in chinise not in english
Criminal he's not playing with Mandarin and English sub 😔
Lets goooooo
Oh look the person who spends more time in the settings than actually playing the game
In-case you missed it, RTX is indeed on.
i hate that Yet another game starts you off with a big fight and despite "winning" you still lose! and i hate that trope in games lately! it was in that recent Final fantasy game as well. What is the point of having you fight them and be capable of even making it seem like you can win just for it to be like Nope you still lose.
I 100% agree with the VA...
Graphically stunning but the VA feels so off. It's not bad but just doesn't feel right.
oof, that asmongold roast
@CohhCarnage Isn't it kinda bad to fuel the monopoly (nvidia)?
That is an awful ad banner from NVIDIA constantly extending out and ruining the first cutscene for me. I love watching Cohh but if it continues I'll have to watch a different stream - awful and very distracting!
Fun to watch when the blooming #RTX ON isn't drawing your eye every 10 seconds :/
Why is "NVIDIA" sponsoring this? I thought it was Chinese
They sponsor the tech in the game that is RTX. So they pay big streamer to show off how good Nvidia is.
I understand him having sponsorship, but it's way too distracting. It should be more subtle, i mean sure his diehard fans won't even gonna mention it, and i'm happy for him gettin money too, it ain't a negative opinion to call these things out, if it obstructs the viewer's experience.
An amazing game unburdened by politics and BS, love to see it.
Yeah I'm gonna watch a different playthrough if this Geforce thing keeps being this prominent.
VA sucks
Cohh, that RTX bullshit is annoying, i am not watching this.
The voice acting really sucks in this one. You really hear the script reading. There is no history in this but a lot of lore.
It doesn't suck at all, all movie acting is script reading what stupid logic is that?
@@Dr.HooWho Not while acting, you prepare with the script and learn the script, then you act, you can't act while reading from the script.
Check the game "Still wakes the deep". That is good voice acting.
@@Dr.HooWho It sucks 1000%, worst choice of this game by a mile
Hmm no story n no like srry good luck on game
Why cohh you ruin your own stream with F...g Nvidia logo and RTX on showing again and again mehh .
