Diversity in a game about mythical creatures?

What the fuck man

The leftists(they call themselfs progressives nowadays) live in crazy clownworld, to them even normal/modarate person seems like far right.
Those journos are so far removed from reality, that they cant even judge game for what it is and remove 2-3 points just on a basis of game not promoting woke agenda.

LMAAAAAAAAAAAAAO

I couldn't agree more. Needs more boobies and plump booties.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

It looks like the game is rushed to the market based on the IGN review - lots of not translated text and lore, numerous bugs, crashes etc. plus they'll be covering performance issues at launch day. So it might be wise to just wait for that and DF video as well before buying.

As someone who identifies as a Chinese monkeh I feel very included

 

[PeteBull]

For real. This takes place in ancient china and is made in China. What do they expect to make the main character... Nevermind. I'm not stepping in that one.

Black ofc, u remember AC Shadows had to have black samurai protagonist , even tho its in japan

Everything after chapter 2 is under embargo still and thats when the game is getting a lot buggier. This stinks

The rent is very high, and takes an enormous toll financially and mentally. Nearly breaking the budget; on the verge of homelessness.

i can't tell if this is a joke from the writer and I'm not in on it or actual real life.

all I've seen about this game is a monkey man with a stick and giant mutant creatures/monsters?

 

[N30RYU]

Let's hope performance is better on a closed platform like the PS5

Also inclusivity? You have wolves, tigers... snakes... monkeys... what animals do you want to be included... a purple hair one?

 

[tommib]

Needs more African Americans and Latinx representation in this game based on 16th century Chinese folklore.

To be fair they mean not enough women. It's not about POC or whatever newspeak they use. It's still an idiotic point but it's not about asking for a Netflix cast.

It's worth noting the game is based on the novel, Journey To The West, which does consist of a few important female characters. To not include any women or to only include a few in an adaptation meant for a modern audience is quite disconcerting.

While this doesn't take away from the exhilaration and fun of boss fights themselves, women fans of soulslike games may have a different perspective, especially given that, according to reports, the developer also suggested that women aren't capable of enjoying or being skilled at these types of games.

Black Myth: Wukong Review | TheSixthAxis

Black Myth: Wukong is a stunning retelling of tJourney to the West visually, but how does the gameplay hold up?

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II review — Absolute art on every level, but not quite perfect

It's hard to describe how amazing Senua's Saga: Hellblade II is, but it doesn't quite reach perfection.

www.windowscentral.com

4.5/5 for this breathtaking masterpiece vs 7/10 for Black Myth

It's hard to describe how amazing HB2 really is guys! Like so hard to describe because you'd get laughed out of the room if you tried

There could have have been some gay relationships between the traditional chinese mythological creatures and the possibility to give the monkey some pronouns
It's fantasy! Everything is allowed! No justification for this omission!

You'll get laughed out of the room comparing games you've yet to play.

Clown activist reviewing games and giving it scores based on their ideology. I hope these fools are getting broke and jobless soon.

So Clearly we have a Hogwarts situation in our hands, a game that should have scored but isnt because of reviewers

Black Myth is a 9/10 game pandered as a 8/10 by journalists

I don't know whats worse. The lack of diversity or you taking my money

Cunt

 

[Chuck Berry]

Lots of reviewer said its basically a boss rush mode with minimal exploration

Lots of reviewers spew a bunch of bullshit

All of the time

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Pretty sure no one has said that.

Everyone who "two-sides" that issue does.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Have you played both? cmon man. Chill.

I've played one, and it is nowhere close to a 4.5/5 "nearly perfect" "game"

 

[balls of snow]

Yeah gonna need to watch acg and skillup reviews to see if the bugs are too egregious. I can handle AA jank. Will this be worse than that.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

I've played one, and it is nowhere close to a 4.5/5 "nearly perfect" "game"

Tell me you didn't do a second playthrough without telling me you didn't do a second playthrough

 

[tommib]

Ok, I think what bugs me the most is the lack of exploration and different objectives. It really looks like it's a boss rush mode. Not for me.

 

[Kurotri]

Why would 70% be a disaster?

I've been conditioned into thinking that anything rewarded below an 8 by journos is shit today and a 7 is more akin to a 5.

 

[TheAmazingSpiderMan]

Day 1!

 

[Puscifer]

I thought the screenrant quote was a joke in the op.

"The lack of diversity and inclusivity resonates with the misogynistic comments reported to have been made by developers, which expressed disdain for women playing their games. Although Black Myth: Wukong does have truly enjoyable moments, the underlying feeling that women aren't welcome in this world felt present throughout my gameplay experience."



Hollllyyyyyy shit

Love me some 7's. Some of my favourite games.

 

[GymWolf]

Bad performances and actually a boss rush game, yeah i think i'm gonna pass for now.

Otherwise, i'm happy that the game is getting good scores.

[RainyNguyen]

The reviews are exceeding my expectations in terms of gameplay (i.e. not a soulslike) but it's a shame they didn't go deep with narrative (such a weird fumble), it probably would've made it top GOTY contender.

Anyways, add near the top list of games that I can't wait to play on PS5 Pro.

I think story wise if you don't understand the basic story of journey to the west and Chinese culture, you will have hard time to understand the story of BMW as it whole

 

[DenchDeckard]

By Boss rush, what does that mean. Its literally boss after boss after boss. So no exploring like a dark souls or Bloodborne?

Or is a souls game classed as a boss rush game?

Should have changed the title to Black Dick: King Kong to get all the blue haired freaks all wet

 

[PeteBull]

Pretty sure no one has said that here.

I saw plenty ppl like that here, just check concord or SW outlaws threads, some of them even got special tags for spewing BS
When u try to discuss facts with them u wonder if they are alt acount of the dev who made the game, or some resetera afterhours candidate
