I think I have mastered the best way to play Wukong for a casual player. First, explore freely in each chapter, don't worry about missing anything. Then check the walkthrough when you reach the boss, and complete the hidden content that you missed (usually more than 30% of the content is missed, and almost every chapter has a hidden map and a specific magic weapon that can restrain the boss). Second, I only die 5 times at most when facing each boss. As long as I can't pass it after 5 attempts, I will watch youtube to learn some wheelchair skills. As a result, you will find that many people have invented very sophisticated builds and methods to deal with bosses, which brings me great freshness. If you always use a set method to play, you will indeed get tired. As I said, if you can't beat it 5 times, just look at the walkthrough. Usually others will provide unimaginable solutions, which allows me to deepen my understanding of the game.
@@PanLi-of7ru I usually use the stick and move technique and watch the move patterns of the boss and usually beat them on my first go around except for the Tiger Vanguard and Erlang which took 3 trys the rest was a breeze(stone monkey I used heavy attacks(and cloud step)to beat him )
When wukong dies, he told bull demon to stay away from his remain, because he knew how dangerous it is to keep it. But guess who is willing to keep the most dangerous and the most important remain of wukong? Erlang. He guard it until he certain that he can give it to the destined one. Their back story is started as opposite but in the end they're working together altough in secret. Erlang is the one who support wukong in the shadows.
What is more interesting is that Game Science didn't have enough money to finish the whole Ch. 6. They didn't have enough money to issue the physical disc. They also didn't have money to pay Sweet Baby and IGN. But they decided to use their budget in every boss, animation, graphic and BGM for gamers. How ironic is this. I love it no map as well. If it is an open world game the storyline will be to segmented. But this semi-open world is better for story telling. But I think they could give more hints for the side tasks, said for example some animal that will appear and lead u to the side tasks.
You see if you go back and watch the gameplay trailers then you will notice that the game actually had a lot to offer but the reason why it took 4 more years is taht they were running out of money so they limited their content into a semi open world semi souls like The graphics and visuals are amazing but if you talk about combat then God of war Ghost of Tsushima games are better
GOTY for me, beat it 3x. Got the 100% achievement and everything. I played it on PC. Had some minor crash. Max out the setting and ran fine 1440p 100+ fps. I played it in English first to know everything without reading. Than played it in Chinese NG+ which is a easy mode by the way. NG+++ was hard but only the last boss and Erlang. Even at max skills to everything it insanely hard in NG+++. Saw a glimps of your end credit. That the bad ending. If you didn't do it you can go back in the game and go fight Erlang than beat the game again. To see the real ending. Trust me it worth it. They definitively went all out with the cut scene. Love all of them. It such a good reward for beating the stages. The only thing I didn't like was having to farm certain items with very low drop rate. Let me rephrase that. I don't mind farming. I'm use to that. It the way they did it. For example the plant. It can drop an item you need for trophy. Except once you pick it. You literally have to wait 30min for it to regrow. Cant end the game can't reset it. Just have to wait it out. It also have a very low drop rate. So low I didn't even know until I seriously was actually going for 100%. Even after 3 playthrough it didn't drop until I actually did farm for it. Just to get a trophy. Those items were basically useless for me to. Other than that it the best game I played this year.
Black Myth only had a $70 million budget compared to the other big game companie's $300-$500 million budget for their AAA games. It's also a small company with a small staff making a game like this for the first time. They sold more than 20 million copies in a month because they focused all their energy and resources into making a great game, faithful to the 500 years old lore. Not because they pandered woke agendas or centered their game around "diversity".
@@vincenthychow1119 Another funny fact is that buddhas are genderless/androgynous. You can think of them as any pronouns you want. There were many ancient stories where the buddahs of the same name appeared as a woman to people, and also appeared as a man to other people. So the game's already inclusive of "gender diversity" with this thousands years old religious fact. The nutjobs ove at IGN and SB Inc just want their ugly blue-haired version of gender diversity.
I remembered so many claimed the 20 million copies doesn’t matter because only Chinese players bought it. They are really trying to minimize the success of black myth Wukong. By their logic, most western games selling million copies doesn’t matter because it’s local players.
If you somehow grew up watching Journey to the west, this game is an amazing next chapter to your childhood. But that's not the only reason that make this game good. Although it will be 300% more fascinating if you know the whole background story, the gameplay itself, story telling, music are also great and well-invested. For me, it's 100% goty.
I made many of those mistakes too. At first, it didn’t seem that complex. It wasn’t easy at all, I had to watch many tutorials, but after 107 hours, I managed to get all the achievements on Steam. Now, I'm just waiting for the DLC.
Great video, brother! I just finished the game myself. What a game! Im already going through the 2nd playthrough. Definitely made some of the same mistakes you did, and until this video, i didnt kbow i could hear different dialogue in the artwork before moving to the next chapter 💀 lol Im excited to see more content for this game and to see what else this studio can do.
Haha you and me were the same! But wow it makes me want to get through another play through, so much to explore! Glad you liked the game and the video brother!
I just finished my NG++, I am at 120 hours 😂 but I have everything maxed and all 81 achievements unlocked. First game I've mastered in like the last 8 years
I loved this game! I got this game because of you and it’s easily my favorite game of this year. The new game plus playthrough is extremely satisfying to destroy the bosses. Keep up the great work!
And there are some less skilled people too who can only spam keyboard button complaining there is no parry, combat is bad bla bla. You have to play with rhythm to enjoy this game. To make a perfect dodge and see theough parry attack you really have to see through when enemy is attacking . Thats when the game feels enjoyable when you master its combat mechanics
Im maybe 10h into the game, chapter 2.. that Tiger boss was so frustrating I just left him and went in another direction (cliffs) amazing game I keep losing but cant stop playing thus far. Great review as always!
Tiger Vanguard is a good teacher actually. He's a real test but after learning all the moves and timing, u will beat them and bosses after him will be 1st and 2nd try for u.
Wow…just wow…this is simply one of those you had to be there to experience it streams. Your Wukong & Stellar Blade streams has to be my favourite moments of 2024 for sure. An absolute hell of a ride. Thanks for including the Wukong song…that just made the streams and review that much better🔥🔥🔥sad to see it’s over but like they say…don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened ⚡️
I think you nailed it man. This game is so good!! Such a lovely surprise. But Damn. I shoulda taken back the sparks from skills I wasn't using to respec for the tough bosses. It's so simple. I just bashed my head against them until I finally beat them. I must be stubborn too.😂 Beat the game, beat secret end boss, beat it again, and now I am most of the way through a NG+ run (far, FAR easier btw) to get the platinum. This is my favorite game this year, even over Stellar Blade which I absolutely loved.
Yeah... I pissed rage my PS5 controller and broke it, never happen in elden ring. I went "awww cute little kitten on red pool" to "bitch please.... Can you just die..." And smashed my controller to the wall.
I was following a 100% (get/find everything) UA-cam walkthrough from the get go so I never got lost, found everything there was to be found including side-quests and secret areas/bosses and progressed in proper order. It's the most effective way to play these games for me.
As a souls vet myself. I glad to see everyone mention the Tiger vanguard boss being hard. I was no expecting a checkpoint boss to test our skill so early on lol.
I like this revideo video. I've watched lots of reacts about BMW since 8/20. It is so good still seeing gamers taking time playing and making their comments after. It's good watching and knowing your revide and more improtant is making your have deeper knowing about this game. Game Science did put lots lots of passion and effort on this game, no doubt.
This game made me better at games in general. I loved taking the points down and rebuilding the character whenever I needed to. I almost had a stroke fighting that freaking tiger boss.
When you figured out a guai’s timing and patterns the sound of those perfect dodges makes you feel like you a DBZ character so satisfying. Perfect dodge going forward is more of a risk but if you get it right its so sick brings you closer to the opponent to inflict damage
If you didn't grow up watching the 1986 Journey to the West tv show, you're missing a lot of the context. The game was originally marketed to Asia, primarily Chinese speakers. I personally didn't know there was a huge Wukong fanbase in like Vietnam or SEA. The marketing strat was literally nostalgia. Like put in little references to the 1986 show. The old monkey humming that tune, the famous theme song of the show, at the end of the very first trailer was INGENIUS. That was the bait for Asians, the hype and nostalgia was incredible. A lot of ppl in the west were excited too, but they weren't the primary focus, they were missing context (the TV show). Once word got out sweet baby inc tried to use $7mil to in inject DEI bullshyyyte in the game, AND that they got rejected..."Go away this game wasn't made for Westerners, it's for Asians. We don't need your ideologies"...oh hell yeah I think the western players boosted the sales. I think within the first month, western sales boosted the total by at least $5mil, & that's the minimum. SBI & western studios are trying to **include & please everyone**...try to please everyone you end up pleasing no one.
I'm sure you've already tried it, but the earlobe guy transformation can be incorporated into combos to stagger bosses and enable you to complete combos
Fire Review Bro....currently on chapter 3 and I am loving it. Taking a break cause that golden buddah dude is kicking my ass....but your tip on swapping out my points for a different skill set has helped....Again, awesome video
Try not killing all those slow moving monk decoys before facing yellow brow. The more of those monks you kill, the longer and harder his golden armor mode becomes.
1:24.....was laughing almost 10 minutes straight when i saw it😂😂 great review as always bro I'm waiting for physical release to get it too.. I hope for not long cheers 💪👋
I've received platinum on wukong few days ago and man oh man it is goty for me atm 🔥 There were like 4-5 bosses that needed 5 tries or more but i flew through the rest of them. Keep up the great work like always my man, i'll see you in the next video 💯🤝
@@LoveGamingNewtro Thanks alot brother i appreciate it! I got platinum on so many souls likes that it wasn't that bad for me (nioh 1&2, Demons souls, ds1-3, sekiro, bloodborne, elden ring, lords of the fallen, lies of p etc) except for the 2 endbosses (they are on a dark souls level and the difficulty spike is huge on these 2) Aaah you're trying Erlang, no wonder you needed 30 tries and still got nothing 😅🤣 Erlang is on another level tho, 1 or 2 small errors and you're done 😅 Did you know that you can use the last wind vessel to get off his shield immediately? I did it without and heard it from a friend after defeating him 🤣 He was knocking off his shield with 1 use from the vessel and i was like 'man if i knew that before' 👀🤣 You got this my man, i believe in you 💪💯🤝
Cracked me up that ign, screen rant part 😂 missed the stream the other day as I hadn’t beat it yet but finally did it today! Was like I’d finished a marathon 😂💪🏼
Wukong is a absolutely Masterpiece!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ Just got 100% achievements and i am on my third playthrough now. My first playthrough i've made in english synchronization and subtitles, while i've gone for chinese in NG+ / NG++ 1st playthrough tries / deads: ...A lot. Struggled on the chapter 4 Scorpion King almost 3 hours, these Bishiguan Beast in chapter 5 and 2nd phase of the Broken Shell! 2nd NG+ playthrough tries / deads: ...first death in chapter 2 at some normal guys. I've finished all those hard bosses like Sheng without dying. Only Yin and Yasha needed a second try... 3rd NG++ playthrough tries / deads: ...no deads yet!!!
Congratulations on your success of getting back on your feet from every few deaths here and there 🐵 Also OMG on the PlayStation upcoming games trailers , can’t wait to see your excitement on some of the big trailers. A couple of them blew my mind 🤯 in a pretty good way
Story Games are always crazy enjoyable for me, however i still struggle with replayability. I still think ima play a second run in a few months 😂 love your content, keep grinding❤
@@jeffmoen8563 this is what they said when they announced the pre orders for the collectors edition/physical edition (box with code inside). “It is the first time for Game Science to release a console game globally, and we are currently facing limitations in offline resources required for the import, export, transportation, distribution, and sales of physical discs. These factors have made it difficult for us to sell physical discs simultaneously with the official release of the game. Our publishing team is actively working on resolving these issues and exploring options to offer physical discs.”
Don't give up. I just completed chapter 2 and trust me the game is worth the effort. Make sure you obtain all the correct weapon and the wind-fixing pill before facing the yellow wind sage.
Great game, still on the last chapter. Stuck on the boss erlang in the secret area, hoping I beat it today...wish me luck....but keep up the great work, your videos are always entertaining 🤘
The hardest bosses in this game can easily take on or exceed Elden Ring in difficulty. But dying is less frustrating because you don't lose anything and there is always a checkpoint near a boss fight, which made me enjoy the game more.
Did you do the secret ending? YOU SHOULD!! The secret ending has a lot of story in it, which makes the story more understandable. And the secret boss is EPIC
Beat the game 3x and you will get the Sun Wukong Stance. It will only last a minute though. You will need to wear all of the legendary Armors and use the legendary staff. You will notice the difference in the focus meter.
I'll buy it when it's on sale for sure now. Thanks for the review. Have you played the Witcher 3 yet? I just downloaded the PS5 update and started a new game last weekend. Haven't played it in years and it looks and plays so well on PS5. It's an amazing game I know you'd like.
Witcher 3 is one of the greatest action RPG of all time for sure, the attention to details and different out come in side quests is just so impreasive. But it's very dated in combat, and not very challenging at all
No one needs DEI. The vast majority is sick of that forced *patronizing and derogatory* noise that diminishes more than it adds. _We need escapism._ When it's good, *all of us* identify. Arabs liking _pure_ Viking stuff, South Americans liking _true_ Sultanate stuff, Asians liking _accurate_ Medieval stuff, etc. Praise to Game Science or Saber Interactive and all the companies for just making good stuff. BMWK and Space Marine 2 are such amazing representations of lore and unique universes. Anyway, LGN, you got a sweet voice and personality, bro. Keep it up.
A thing I heard (can’t remember who said it) is that Wukong isn’t Souls LIKE its Souls ADJACENT. As in while it has some elements that Souls also has it is its own thing.
I thought there was no block system, until I know resolute stike. it is a whole new fighting style that amazes me. after NG+ I research more about, perfect immobilizer, tactical retreat,rock solid,spirits,Qi,Might,bane effect...etc. the fighting systems are huge.
Because of the many types of players there are out there, I feel that the players should have the option to choose the difficulty. I'm on NG+++++++ and I'm not going any further because it's about to become unplayable. Other than that this game is amazing... Oh yeah the WuKong stance should be permanent and not usable on for just a minute. We put in all of that work and should be properly rewarded...
Regarding the story: Unfortunately it is written in a way that expects you to already know Journey to the West in some capacity, so complete newcomers will never be able to fully understand all the characters and references that is made.
I will admit, being a fan of the book since I was a kid (an amazing teacher read the class most of the book, and I borrowed it over the summer to finish it), I was a little disappointed that the monkey in the game had no real personality. I was hoping for a little bit of that Monkey King attitude throughout. A little laughter. Maybe a few insults. Anything, really. I'm so used to characters in games talking to themselves as the journey that the absence of that in this game felt odd. That's my only complaint, though. Stellar game. Great review.
nice basic lore about Chinese mythology: ua-cam.com/video/GdtyXl47Dho/v-deo.html some details about chapter1: ua-cam.com/video/19leYjAXSt8/v-deo.html ,chapter2 ua-cam.com/video/S2mL2RhuXIc/v-deo.html and chapter3: ua-cam.com/video/vMI2nQhA3KU/v-deo.html
"It is not a soul game", so I played it like Bayonetta and I got fucked. Made most of your mistake, but I realized it earlier in the game. Now I am really enjoying.
Only thing that i didn't like was how repetitive the combat is after a few hours. Since dodging is the most crucial part of this game i wish they added more animations after a dodge and not the basic light attacks. The heavy attacks have a charging animation which doesn't really work against fast enemies. Dodge and strike animations is needed to make it fun for the DLC.
Didn’t feel like I needed a map at all…. But at first… when I met With the wandering wright, I HATED THE GAME. Thought I wasted money on all the hype. Now, beating Erlang, in both human and lion (shen form)-thanx UA-cam-, I can’t get enough of it. The challenge is incredible, yet so simple!
Wukong may not be perfect, but I can clearly feel the developers' passion and dedication throughout the game. Despite some inexperience, they truly strive to enhance the player experience rather than just completing a task. This kind of commitment is often lacking in many Western
I’ll buy when a physical copy come out! Just wanted to say thanks for the heads up on your stream about the 30th anniversary products, got my hands on a 30th anniversary dual sense edge ✌🏽. Did you get anything?
20:20 gave you a sub to help out bud. I'm fixing to go down this route too. Kinda of watching a lot of gaming channels to pick up on some tips on how content goes, i'll never steal an idea, and if i do it'll be after i had asked for permission, or said i was using it rather, lol(that's how i roll). I mean if the creator says no, then ideas out, but im not asking for permission for creative ideas that may be similar to or identical to someone else, there's only so much you can do before it gets stale because of the amount of content creators there are lol, every idea with originality has pretty much been covered by now. Anyway, im way up on some clouds lol, and rambling. Good luck and God Bless on your future bud, May we both be lucratively successful by the Grace of God, (or whatever you may follow), Either way you go it all just leads to the same God if you follow the right path and non the extremist path.
Love your comments about this game and my experience was similar to your as I am not a very good dark-souls player and appreciate you have the courage to talk about the diversity topic, those guys really gone too far.

As a souls vet myself. I glad to see everyone mention the Tiger vanguard boss being hard. I was no expecting a checkpoint boss to test our skill so early on lol.
I like this revideo video. I've watched lots of reacts about BMW since 8/20. It is so good still seeing gamers taking time playing and making their comments after. It's good watching and knowing your revide and more improtant is making your have deeper knowing about this game. Game Science did put lots lots of passion and effort on this game, no doubt.
This game made me better at games in general. I loved taking the points down and rebuilding the character whenever I needed to. I almost had a stroke fighting that freaking tiger boss.
When you figured out a guai’s timing and patterns the sound of those perfect dodges makes you feel like you a DBZ character so satisfying. Perfect dodge going forward is more of a risk but if you get it right its so sick brings you closer to the opponent to inflict damage
GOTY for me as well for sure! Beat it the first time last week and joyfully working through beating it a second time. Absolutely fantastic game.
Glad to see it's spoiler free, great vid as always! Cheers, elliot
Thanks Eliot! 😀😀
If you didn't grow up watching the 1986 Journey to the West tv show, you're missing a lot of the context. The game was originally marketed to Asia, primarily Chinese speakers. I personally didn't know there was a huge Wukong fanbase in like Vietnam or SEA. The marketing strat was literally nostalgia. Like put in little references to the 1986 show. The old monkey humming that tune, the famous theme song of the show, at the end of the very first trailer was INGENIUS. That was the bait for Asians, the hype and nostalgia was incredible. A lot of ppl in the west were excited too, but they weren't the primary focus, they were missing context (the TV show). Once word got out sweet baby inc tried to use $7mil to in inject DEI bullshyyyte in the game, AND that they got rejected..."Go away this game wasn't made for Westerners, it's for Asians. We don't need your ideologies"...oh hell yeah I think the western players boosted the sales. I think within the first month, western sales boosted the total by at least $5mil, & that's the minimum. SBI & western studios are trying to **include & please everyone**...try to please everyone you end up pleasing no one.
Great vid as always dude 👍🏼 I’m waiting for the disc, end of the year 👏🏼
Yeah buddy at least it’s coming!! Thanks for watching!
I appreciate you bud, this review was epic, sounds like ima have loots of fun, i knew i would. lol.
Thanks for the comment Lee!
You did the game justice with this review. I think you done a good job, have not finished the game yet but this gave me a laugh.
Love the game, loved everything about it . 10/10
I'm sure you've already tried it, but the earlobe guy transformation can be incorporated into combos to stagger bosses and enable you to complete combos
Fire Review Bro....currently on chapter 3 and I am loving it. Taking a break cause that golden buddah dude is kicking my ass....but your tip on swapping out my points for a different skill set has helped....Again, awesome video
Glad it did because my gosh I wish I did it earlier 😂, enjoy the game buddy! Let us know what you think when you complete it!
Try not killing all those slow moving monk decoys before facing yellow brow. The more of those monks you kill, the longer and harder his golden armor mode becomes.
Here a tip, you can actually smash him out of that gold armor.
Its true???😮@@mrchildrenen
Yep. Save 3 focus attack. Once he was golden, make him eat stick. If you hav No focus to use, Drink potion. Btw, the guy ain’t Buddha.
1:24.....was laughing almost 10 minutes straight when i saw it😂😂 great review as always bro I'm waiting for physical release to get it too.. I hope for not long cheers 💪👋
Haha thanks man! Hopefully soon. I want one as well! I’m buying it day 1!
You need to read/ listen to
Journey to the West. This game is a sequel to that story.
Man my god, the yellow loong!! That one was sick!! Drove me nuts
I've received platinum on wukong few days ago and man oh man it is goty for me atm 🔥 There were like 4-5 bosses that needed 5 tries or more but i flew through the rest of them. Keep up the great work like always my man, i'll see you in the next video 💯🤝
Well done my man! I’m on the secret boss and my gosh. It’s about 30 tries 😂😂
@@LoveGamingNewtro Thanks alot brother i appreciate it! I got platinum on so many souls likes that it wasn't that bad for me (nioh 1&2, Demons souls, ds1-3, sekiro, bloodborne, elden ring, lords of the fallen, lies of p etc) except for the 2 endbosses (they are on a dark souls level and the difficulty spike is huge on these 2) Aaah you're trying Erlang, no wonder you needed 30 tries and still got nothing 😅🤣 Erlang is on another level tho, 1 or 2 small errors and you're done 😅 Did you know that you can use the last wind vessel to get off his shield immediately? I did it without and heard it from a friend after defeating him 🤣 He was knocking off his shield with 1 use from the vessel and i was like 'man if i knew that before' 👀🤣 You got this my man, i believe in you 💪💯🤝
Man I am hooked to this game and can’t get enough of it
Cracked me up that ign, screen rant part 😂 missed the stream the other day as I hadn’t beat it yet but finally did it today! Was like I’d finished a marathon 😂💪🏼
Haha glad you liked it Akeey! 😂😂 i enjoyed making that 😂
Game science had only 14 staff when they started Black Myth Wukong 7 years ago
That is crazy!!!
Wukong is a absolutely Masterpiece!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Just got 100% achievements and i am on my third playthrough now. My first playthrough i've made in english synchronization and subtitles, while i've gone for chinese in NG+ / NG++
1st playthrough tries / deads: ...A lot. Struggled on the chapter 4 Scorpion King almost 3 hours, these Bishiguan Beast in chapter 5 and 2nd phase of the Broken Shell!
2nd NG+ playthrough tries / deads: ...first death in chapter 2 at some normal guys. I've finished all those hard bosses like Sheng without dying. Only Yin and Yasha needed a second try...
3rd NG++ playthrough tries / deads: ...no deads yet!!!
Congratulations on your success of getting back on your feet from every few deaths here and there 🐵 Also OMG on the PlayStation upcoming games trailers , can’t wait to see your excitement on some of the big trailers. A couple of them blew my mind 🤯 in a pretty good way
Story Games are always crazy enjoyable for me, however i still struggle with replayability. I still think ima play a second run in a few months 😂 love your content, keep grinding❤
I’m still waiting for physical copy
@@dzill95 I want to buy it day 1 on physical!
For real
Have they officially announced one?
Same here🫡
@@jeffmoen8563 this is what they said when they announced the pre orders for the collectors edition/physical edition (box with code inside).
“It is the first time for Game Science to release a console game globally, and we are currently facing limitations in offline resources required for the import, export, transportation, distribution, and sales of physical discs. These factors have made it difficult for us to sell physical discs simultaneously with the official release of the game.
Our publishing team is actively working on resolving these issues and exploring options to offer physical discs.”
Good job on beating the game, i gave it up in chapter 2 for now. Im going to complete it tho, but for now Space Marine 2 is on the plate.
Don't give up. I just completed chapter 2 and trust me the game is worth the effort. Make sure you obtain all the correct weapon and the wind-fixing pill before facing the yellow wind sage.
@@SomeOne-jf4iq Oh dont worry i will complete it. Just not in the mood now.
I completely the game twice and still didn’t know u scroll around on the painting 🙈 I am looking forward to DLC up there for game of year
@@petegeary313 😂😂 trust I was so pissed when I found out 😂
Great game, still on the last chapter. Stuck on the boss erlang in the secret area, hoping I beat it today...wish me luck....but keep up the great work, your videos are always entertaining 🤘
Probably my favorite game you streamed so far. Just a epic watch.
Glad you did and thank you for being apart of it! Was so good to stream this game, was by far my favourite game to stream!
The hardest bosses in this game can easily take on or exceed Elden Ring in difficulty. But dying is less frustrating because you don't lose anything and there is always a checkpoint near a boss fight, which made me enjoy the game more.
This game made me better at games in general. I loved taking the points down and rebuilding the character whenever I needed to.
Glad to see you enjoy the Wukong game, there are many surprises and details to satisfy you.👍💪
100%!!
Like’d and a Sub’d for the fact you had the integrity to play in Chinese, the way it’s meant to be played
Love that! 😀😀 it’s incredible in Chinese!
Did you do the secret ending? YOU SHOULD!! The secret ending has a lot of story in it, which makes the story more understandable. And the secret boss is EPIC
Btw i love your content!!
I’m trying to complete that boss now and I am struggling 😂, thanks for watching buddy!!
@@LoveGamingNewtroyesss it is the hardest boss in the game hahahaha but you’ll get a great reward from it!!!
3:37 Yes, You need to know "Journey To The West" story before playing wukong.
Dammit lol
Go for the secret boss on each chapter. The final secret boss holds a lot for the story. And that fight is sooooo epic. If u missed it, it's a shame
The game is different to Elden ring but is every bit as good in its own right.
Beat the game 3x and you will get the Sun Wukong Stance. It will only last a minute though. You will need to wear all of the legendary Armors and use the legendary staff. You will notice the difference in the focus meter.
I'll buy it when it's on sale for sure now. Thanks for the review. Have you played the Witcher 3 yet? I just downloaded the PS5 update and started a new game last weekend. Haven't played it in years and it looks and plays so well on PS5. It's an amazing game I know you'd like.
Witcher 3 is one of the greatest action RPG of all time for sure, the attention to details and different out come in side quests is just so impreasive. But it's very dated in combat, and not very challenging at all
Broooo it’s worth the 59.99$!!!! You won’t regret buying it man 💯✊🏽
No one needs DEI. The vast majority is sick of that forced *patronizing and derogatory* noise that diminishes more than it adds.
_We need escapism._ When it's good, *all of us* identify. Arabs liking _pure_ Viking stuff, South Americans liking _true_ Sultanate stuff, Asians liking _accurate_ Medieval stuff, etc.
Praise to Game Science or Saber Interactive and all the companies for just making good stuff. BMWK and Space Marine 2 are such amazing representations of lore and unique universes.
Anyway, LGN, you got a sweet voice and personality, bro. Keep it up.
谢谢！
Thank you for the support!!
A thing I heard (can’t remember who said it) is that Wukong isn’t Souls LIKE its Souls ADJACENT. As in while it has some elements that Souls also has it is its own thing.
I thought there was no block system, until I know resolute stike. it is a whole new fighting style that amazes me. after NG+ I research more about, perfect immobilizer, tactical retreat,rock solid,spirits,Qi,Might,bane effect...etc. the fighting systems are huge.
only after NG3+, you complete this game. cause you will be able to use all abilities of each relics.
Because of the many types of players there are out there, I feel that the players should have the option to choose the difficulty. I'm on NG+++++++ and I'm not going any further because it's about to become unplayable. Other than that this game is amazing... Oh yeah the WuKong stance should be permanent and not usable on for just a minute. We put in all of that work and should be properly rewarded...
How does the new stance work? I'm grinding to get to NG+ 4 to unlock it.
Tiger Vanguard will forever be the biggest Ahole in the game for me
I’ve been playing for 20 hours, I just now just realized some mechanics and items that I should have used.
I loved this game. It turned out to be one of my favorites.
love the vid, new subscriber right here!
Thank you Drew and welcome to the channel!!
Regarding the story:
Unfortunately it is written in a way that expects you to already know Journey to the West in some capacity, so complete newcomers will never be able to fully understand all the characters and references that is made.
I see, this means I need to really dive into so I can know the lore!
@@LoveGamingNewtro yeah, there’s the books and many tv shows/movies that can help you with that
You still can have fun without knowing it.
@@LoveGamingNewtroI started reading the books and only a few chapters in and it’s already an outrageously epic story.
My 7 year old beat the game two nights ago....he was so happy
There are 13 chapters initially planned, so TWO DLC confirmed
Did you get to the “true ending” ?
Secret boss C3 ?
Liked and subbed. Cheers man
Thanks dude!
I will admit, being a fan of the book since I was a kid (an amazing teacher read the class most of the book, and I borrowed it over the summer to finish it), I was a little disappointed that the monkey in the game had no real personality. I was hoping for a little bit of that Monkey King attitude throughout. A little laughter. Maybe a few insults. Anything, really. I'm so used to characters in games talking to themselves as the journey that the absence of that in this game felt odd.
That's my only complaint, though. Stellar game. Great review.
Broooo how did you forget the fox pill pusher !!?! 😂 you’re a sick kid! At least you figured it out though
No idea how I did 😂😂
He is actually a dog..his name is Xu Dog..most of the lores are in the Journal characters 😊
nice basic lore about Chinese mythology: ua-cam.com/video/GdtyXl47Dho/v-deo.html
some details about chapter1: ua-cam.com/video/19leYjAXSt8/v-deo.html
,chapter2 ua-cam.com/video/S2mL2RhuXIc/v-deo.html
and chapter3: ua-cam.com/video/vMI2nQhA3KU/v-deo.html
"It is not a soul game", so I played it like Bayonetta and I got fucked. Made most of your mistake, but I realized it earlier in the game. Now I am really enjoying.
Only thing that i didn't like was how repetitive the combat is after a few hours. Since dodging is the most crucial part of this game i wish they added more animations after a dodge and not the basic light attacks. The heavy attacks have a charging animation which doesn't really work against fast enemies. Dodge and strike animations is needed to make it fun for the DLC.
glad you enjoy this game!! thank you for ur honest review, informational as well
Thank you for watching and commenting! It’s an incredible game!! More excited for a second playthrough!
Originally GameScience wanted 11 chapters to tell their story.
im so proud of you Newtro! Well played.
Did my best now I’m trying to do the secret boss which is so hard 😂
Didn’t feel like I needed a map at all…. But at first… when I met
With the wandering wright, I HATED THE GAME. Thought I wasted money on all the hype. Now, beating Erlang, in both human and lion (shen form)-thanx UA-cam-, I can’t get enough of it. The challenge is incredible, yet so simple!
That akward moment when NOBODY has ready journey to the west😂😂😂😂😂😂
The only game o did NG+++ so much fun, and platinum.
Hahahahaha the intro skit got me 🤣🤣🤣 the players should choose gender of monkey 💀 please keep these in videos 🙏
😂😂😂 haha there not going anywhere
Do you like it more than Stellar Blade?
I liked Stellar Blade more.
I doubt IGN will even include it in GOTY nominee or runner up.
Agreed they probably wouldn’t lol
No haptic feedback 😂
Wukong may not be perfect, but I can clearly feel the developers' passion and dedication throughout the game. Despite some inexperience, they truly strive to enhance the player experience rather than just completing a task.
This kind of commitment is often lacking in many Western
I’ll buy when a physical copy come out! Just wanted to say thanks for the heads up on your stream about the 30th anniversary products, got my hands on a 30th anniversary dual sense edge ✌🏽. Did you get anything?
waiting for physical copy, great you and ells got a house!
Barry is on pont. Keep that positivity going
haptics feedback yes... they didn't add it... i agree they shld add it...
You never know in the future!
I still have a TV from 2013 and it still looks amazing on it
20:20 gave you a sub to help out bud. I'm fixing to go down this route too. Kinda of watching a lot of gaming channels to pick up on some tips on how content goes, i'll never steal an idea, and if i do it'll be after i had asked for permission, or said i was using it rather, lol(that's how i roll). I mean if the creator says no, then ideas out, but im not asking for permission for creative ideas that may be similar to or identical to someone else, there's only so much you can do before it gets stale because of the amount of content creators there are lol, every idea with originality has pretty much been covered by now. Anyway, im way up on some clouds lol, and rambling. Good luck and God Bless on your future bud, May we both be lucratively successful by the Grace of God, (or whatever you may follow), Either way you go it all just leads to the same God if you follow the right path and non the extremist path.
Hey Just finished playing wukong my 1st ever game on ps5, any recommendations in the same genre i can play next?
Life of Pi , great Game, but too hard for my skills.
Bro i wanted to play this but itsnot physical😢btw bro what are ur thoughts on ghost of yotei
i love black myth Wukong love the video
I just finished my second play through a few days ago and started the 3rd, yet i never knew about the dialogue in the map🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
@@stepheniosun that’s incredible!! Man I was pissed I didn’t know, I’ll make sure to do it on my 2nd playthrough 😂
I ma on new game plus 3 and didn't know you could click into the thing.. Def gonna do that
Love your comments about this game and my experience was similar to your as I am not a very good dark-souls player and appreciate you have the courage to talk about the diversity topic, those guys really gone too far.
My main issie with the game is the lack of a map. I got lost in chapter 3 several times.
We made it!!! Great video! 💯Great game! 💯
Great game! Time for a new game plus!
What annoyed me the most was my friends who play souls games telling me the game is easy and they beat most bosses the first try.
