>another generic wuxia boss rush with a gloomy rural Japanese setting and hallway level designWow, they're really pumping these out one after the other. The modern consumer is all style, no substance.
>lower than mixtapeso it's shit
Holy shit he can slash things with weapon, so unique, so fun, never done that beforeeeeee
I watched a few reviews and the general gist is that the gameplay and combat and bosses and visuals are all very good but that the story and characters are bad and just a big mess of stupid nonsense that goes all over the place. 25-30 hours for main story50 hours if you do all the side quests
Fextralife says story is generic revenge story and that the game did a poor job of making him care about the story and that there was too many random characters and too much of the story was told through notes and says it was all too hard to keep track of and that it went on for too long.
>>750362941Who cares? Im more worried about him calling it too easy. Might wait for a few updates and/or dlc
>>750362941Another thing. He said the game has a very noticeable lack of challenge. He played on the hardest difficulty and said it was very easy.
>>750362410He says at around 6 minutes in that he died 200 times during his playthrough and about half of those were from falling through level geometry. You played a video game that had you glitching through the floor and getting stuck in bushes 100 times until until character death and you gave it a 9 out of 10? That's incredible.
>>750363070Probably too retarded to play it's ign
>>750363070It's just that good
Its very obvious the 66 days thing was meant to be the default. I'm pretty sure a few years ago they even said it was. That explains why the game is so easynow as you can just face tank everything and keep dying over and over on normal mode now as enemies dont respawn and boss phases dont reset so you can just ram your head into things until you win as it just gets easier each time basically. But if the 66 days things was the default you would have to actually be more careful with your deaths.
>>750362410>reviewer barely died and even first tried bosses>if you die you don't start at phase 1journalist difficulty even easier than onimusha LMFAO
>>750363143So it must be.
>>750362941just wait for vaati to make a lore drop and then it'll be kino
This is not a Souls game? Dropped
>>750363057Fucking Liang, theres difficulty options, why you couldnt go full Itagaki mode?
Okay? So Changs paid for marketing. But not more than for Mixtape.
>>750363296>journalist difficulty even easier than onimusha LMFAOWorse, it happens on every difficulty option
>>750362410Why /v/ hate this but love ninja gaiden 4

>>750365429Wuchang is at least 8/10

FUCK DONNIE YEN AND HIS SHIT MOVIES
>>750365504Zanzibart was Miyazaki idea of what names in Western fantasy novels are like translated back into English, this is just unfiltered wuxia trash.
>>750365304Seems about right. Chinks peak at 6/10. Like their whole country.
>>750365542You reek of unwashed tendie ass.
>>750365635Lies of P also got 6/10 from EurogamerDragon age veil guard got a perfect score from them though
>>750365417>>750365429>>750365429>>750365537Ghey also "gave" 60 to Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, Control resonant, FF resonance, etc. But they really use a 5 star metric, so all these 60s are "3 out of 5"
So is the game actually piss easy?
>>750365715And Lies of Piss also was a 6/10 game.
>>750362815so stellar blade without the ass?

>>750365304Wukong was a great game, Wuchang not so much but not a 60 that's for fucking sure. Eurocucks are fucking brain-rotted that's why they're letting subhuman third-world scum destroy their countries.
>>750365910>It looks like absolutely soulless dogshit.The protagonist is literally named soul. You can't accuse it of being soulless as that would be literally incorrect.
>>750366086Yeah. Europe is dying.
>>750366190Diarrhea is doing amazing work
So why the west no longer make action game
>>750365910It's the UE5 curse, I feel like not a single game using that engine looks good when they aim for realism.
>>750362693>>750362770>>750362821You're fucking brown, you're cucked and you're GAY. Enjoy GTA: Cuck Race-Mixing with your fellow 50 IQ retards
>Japan makes a good game with the latest Onimusha>/v/ is happy>China makes a good game with Phantom Blade Zero>"Fucking shill!"Noticing.
>>750365304Pretty accurate for Wukong and Wuchang. I wouldn't even praise Wuchang as much as that journo did since I couldn't even bring myself to play the whole thing, the level design was remarkably unfun. Pretty spot-on analysis of Wukong too, the boss fights offer some level of fun but are overall too easy and the level design is atrocious.
>>750366494Yeah, "brx". DA Veilguard was soooo much better n.n
>>750366549That one I didn't even play as I knew it'd be shit considering it was modern Bioware.
>>750366258>action gameI think Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a lot of fun.Although, technically speaking, it's a Souls-like game.
>there will be no voices38 crack
>>750366482>China makes a good gameKEEEEEEEEEEEK
>>750362941i genuinely do not care at alli skip every cutscene in every game i playthis is GOTY
>>750366659I bought this game on steam on sale and I still regret it.It has everything bad you can expect of EA. From shit optimization, to Debra Wilson, to not knowing what they actually want from this game.
>>750362410i cannot understand how anyone would not be hyped for this gamecombat looks fluid as fuck and super fun, from what i've heard, level design is really good, and i don't plan to watch a single cutscene so the story means literally nothing to me
>>750362941It's Wuxia right? If something calls itself Wuxia then it's going to have a bunch of characters just come and go.
>>750362410How long until crack it out
Is China ever going to branch out from making UE5 actionslop games?Like they are so far behind the West, Japan, and even Korea as far as creating things the rest of the industry gets inspired by.
>>750367276>so far behind the West, Japan, and even Korea as far as creating things the rest of the industry gets inspired byname 27 inspirational games
Wayfarer: story mode, less aggressive enemies Pathbreaker: normal, bosses use fixed combos you can learn Hellwalker: bosses get new skills and an AI borrowed from fighting games, so they switch tactics when an attack misses 66 Days: Hellwalker with only 66 deaths, then game over (unlocks in NG+ after you beat the game)
>>750365791Nah, it was a solid 8, could've been even higher if it had multiplayer mechanics.
>>750366729AI Limit was good. Probably because they spent their budget on making the game instead of buying a bunch of 9/10s.
>>750367276>creating things the rest of the industry gets inspired by.
>>750367798>why indians can't build toilets
>>750367836They did sort of hold them to try to after the infamous UNICEF video, to recover their izzat. But being Indian they applied jugaad instead of actually doing what they were supposed to.
>>750367057I thought the first game was pretty consistent. Also I thought it ran pretty well.The second game was the one that's very messy, both gameplay, story, and performance.
>>750362410>switchfags missing out on another kino game>all of the jailbreaks and roms being dumped recentlyOoof tendies be having a really bad week huh
>>750367728IGN gave AI Limit 5/10
the thing that worries me is the pictures of weapon combos like Square Square Triangle Triangle, which maybe is fine but could also be absolute shit tier bayonetta-but-worse combatnioh is already nearly perfect, I dunno why they'd want to use a shitty combo system when you can just have a way better system with explicit inputs
>>750368050>everything across the board keeps getting worseas it should be nothing is immune including PC and consoles companies etc.
>>750362410Generic gookchink dogshit slop marketing thread
>>750368151from what i understand combos are some combinations of the two light and two heavy attacksso fairly simple but enough combinations when combined with the other special attacks and secondary weapons, plus power surges and phantom edges for additional combat options
>>750366343Arc Raiders looks good
uh oh the self hating korean fag found the thread
>>750368315>Nioh 3>Code Vein 2>the new Onimusha>Now this gameI hate this new tendency of making action and action-adjacent games braindead easy.
>>750367421Hellwalker has to be the way to play i feel, partly for the superior AI behavior, and partly because i feel like it might be too easy with some of the design choices like no respawning enemies, and picking up boss fights from phase 2 if you die after beating phase 1
>>750365304this is what accurate unpaid reviews look like
>>750368914>newdmc is all about being piss easy until you unlock dmc since day 1

>>750368914>I hate this new tendency of making action and action-adjacent games braindead easy.>onimushanigger that is the single easiest action game i've ever playedi literally had to mod the enemy aggression because trash mobs straight up just stand around and wait for their turn to attack once before immediately dyingi did like that they have a bunch of different mechanics like perfect dodge, parry, deflect, issen, etc. but still most bosses only took one or two attemptsbut also i'm not sure how anything i said about the combat was related to difficulty kek
No physical release, no buy. I’ll consider it whenever it comes out next year. I’m pretty sure Sony is doing this shit to pad digital numbers and defend their choice.
>>750369178there is a physical release thoughbeit in 2027
>>750369178>pad digital numbersas if they have to do this when digital sales have been dominating physical sales for a decade
>>750369178>>750369221
>>750369029lolnothey are all mid chinkslop
Honestly kinda hoping that modders do their magic and release iterations on the game where they take the bones and combat and basically extend the life of the game by adding new movesets to bosses and new enemies and shityou could get a whole new game or two out of it with modding and i feel like the combat and level design is good enough to make it worth it from what i've seen
>>750368914This is how I can tell you're young. Action games have almost always been easy to play with some being hard to master. It is only very recently that a lot of action games took the soulslike turn to be le prepare to le die le hard gayme.
>>750367276Objectively no, the big budget games like action soulslike will be their bread and butter till someone takes a chance from there and makes it big. Their more trend chasers and has to at bare minimum break even lest they get diassolved as a studio. Wushang did decently but was folded into the company because decent isn't enough. Their indies are where you should look at for innovations which there is plenty of
>>750363070That's basically dark souls but it's not a glitch
So this one isn't doing anything new then ?
>>750362410>9/10>says he had 100 deaths due to fucked up invisible walls and falling through geometry>says he lost haf a hour to getting stuck in a bush>shows clips with the worst invisible walls i ever saw in any game, worse than wukong even>9/10is this faggot for real?shit hitboxes is what makes or breaks those games
>>750365417eurogamer are just turbo woke desu. I'm not even joking. They gave dragon age veilguard a 10/10
>>750369221>whenever it comes out next year>>750369239Dominating is a weird way to say slightly higher. Their “80%” stats are counting digital only games and dlc. Might as well euthanize 50 year olds because they’ll be dead soon anyway
>>750362693>nioh, wu long, wuchang, sekiro, omnimusha, rise of roninAm i forgetting anything?Anyway, i feel like i saw this souls clone game fucking 20 times already.
>>750363070majority of your deaths in souls games will be from falling due to godawful jumping puzzles and getting hit through walls from enemies you cant see and "shockwaves" from shit hitboxesand souls cultists defend that to their death
>>750369976You couldn't really die from falling in Wukong due to the invisible walls, so I think this is quite different, it might be more like Wuchang where you died if you fell into a 1 foot deep river
>>750365304wukong deserves it, but wuchang? its a much better and tightly designed game
How come chinks and japs are so different despite being right next door? Why does Japan have shame and dishonor but China doesnt?
>>750370259>complaining about consistently getting good action combat gamesfuck you faggot you deserve every dragon age veilgaurd and redfall fucking joke game that comes out
>>750370416Japan is an izzat based society just like India
>>750370423not every game has to be the same you fagi wont even mention how nioh 1, 2 and 3 literally are just dlc tier shameless asset reuses, but not every of those fucking games has to look the sameAI limit, khazan, the surge or even mortal shell shows you can try to give those souls clones some personality
>>750370416Chinese culture got wrecked by the 1917+ jewish bolshevic revolution that also took down russian empireJews managed to take down 2 oldest empires in the region in just 5 years by brain washing students, damage still lasts as leftists dont have morals, empathy or human decency
>>750370587first off there's no way you're lumping in sekiro with team ninja or UE5 chinkslop in terms of graphics or art styleand i'd rather play a good game with good combat that looks similar to another good game than not have said good game to play at all
>>750365829Most parry games are nowhere near as absurdly easy as this game is.
>>750362410Bored of these generic chink action games. They could start by not using such a soulless art style
>>750370723yep, i guess they are more of a nioh clone, since sekiro ripped off nioh, which ripped off ds3, a full circle of those shitty identical games, at lest elden ring did open world, one new thing in this rehash filled genre
Ye Olde Semi-Realistic Asian setting is indeed played out. And with Nioh 2 and Sekiro existing, making more games in it is a waste of time, you won't really do better. Might as well do like Lies of P and choose another fairy tale/myth to base your IP on.>Dark Souls... but Hercules!>>750370406Wuchang was a 7.8 at most IMO, but I agree 6.0 is too low.
>>750370416Japan and China are, in fact, countries that appear similar on the surface but are fundamentally opposite at their core.During World War II, the two atomic bombs dropped by the United States shattered the Japanese people’s national self-confidence. This led Japan to fall into a severe victim mentality and a pattern of behavior characterized by dependence on powerful nations.Essentially, whoever has the biggest fist is right, and whoever has the biggest fist is my master.This is also why you can see so many works with distorted values in Japanese entertainment.They glorify adultery and sexual depravity, depict victims forgiving their perpetrators, or are obsessed with violence and mental illness.China is different. The Communist Party of China won the civil war, drove the Americans back to the 38th Parallel during the Korean War, and possesses a long history and a strong sense of national identity.When a country’s dominant political narrative is to mock Americans for their stupidity, it naturally follows that its cultural works will not include content reflecting an inferiority complex.
>>750370587>ai limit>the surge>personalityYou jest
So how exactly is the game piss-easy, do enemies not do any damage or does the player character just wipe them out before they can do anything?
>>750365304Based eurochads holding strong against chink sloppa.
>>750367649It's a bit curious, I originally thought P was great and after returning for the DLC I was less than impressed. For a parry focused game, parrying felt very clunky.
>>750365304Those are appropriate scores for Wuchang and Wukong. PBZ probably sucks tok
>>750371119obviously idk damage numbers or anything but i don't think it's thatenemies don't respawn even if you die, you can re-attempt boss fights starting at the beginning of phase 2 if you died after beating phase 1, no loss of xp or anything on death, things like that definitely make the game easier
>>750365954Control Resonant is goty
>>750367148Probably because China has never made a game that actually feels good to play
>>750362410Kino incomingWestern devs seething ITT rn
buy an ad
>>750371286>he's never played wukong or wuchang they both literally mog the fuck out of 95% of all western games
>>750369976>shows clips with the worst invisible walls i ever saw in any game, worse than wukong evenJesus, is that even possible? Wukong's level design was a masterclass in how NOT to do things.
>>750371341and a ching chong bing bong to you
>>750371386have fun with your girlboss protagonists and not-so-subtle leftist propaganda games
>>750371341Sure, but they're still just pale imitations of better Jap games though.
So the parrying is like Arkham games ?
>>750371445Neither of those games are particularly imitating Japanese games. Wukong isn't a soulslike or clear copy of anything else, and while Wuchang is a soulslike, it's extremely high quality and does its own thing for the most part.
>>750371225this sounds pretty good to me, primarily because multi-phase bosses are fucking awful. I suspect this will have a similar problem to wukong where the bosses don't have enough hp so the fights end too quickly, though
Why are they suddenly giving Chinese games good scores? Were they finally paid off?
>>750371112surge has more personality than anything in this genre in last 10 yearsin fact its the only one of few that isnt just grimdark fantasy medieval europe/japan/china
Get ready for an entire week of "The woke West and Japan are getting mogged hard"-tier of shilling.
>>750370992>japanese has weak national identity >their biggest export is anime and japanese culture, 90% of their population only know japanese are are xenophobic >china has strong national identity >every single chinaman wants to learn english and move to western countriesuh huh whatever you say chang
ai limit was amazing. some dudes just like doing the performative hate
>>750371626It really doesn't. You just have awful taste.
>>750371341Wukong feels like ass
>>750371771you are just fucking retardedyou cant confuse surge screenshot for another gamemeanwhile unless you have UI on, you cant tell one of those shitty chink games apart
>>750371763Surprisingly it was the only Chinese game I thought was legitimately well made and fun. Good level design, alright combat and bosses. And it has the least budget compared to the likes of Wukong and Wuchang, ironically.
>>750366482Clearly you have not been in an Onimusha thread. My GOTY though.
>>750371225I guess will know when the game actually comes out.
>>750371719>every single chinaman wants to learn english and move to western countriesAnon, China has 1.4 billion people, and the Chinese you see in your own country make up only 5% of the national population. And most of them are tourists.If they all really wanted to immigrate to your country, there would be no white people left in all of Europe and the United States.Of course, you could always choose Indians instead.
>>750371894>>nioh, wu long, wuchang, sekiro, omnimusha, rise of roninI could very, very easily tell every single one of these games apart from a HUD-less screenshot and I don't even like half of them. Visual distinction doesn't have anything to do with personality, however, so I refute the idea that this matters regardless.The Surge 1 and 2 are absolutely awful games with no personality. AI Limit isn't a bad game I'd say, just very overrated here for some reason. Absolutely no personality whatsoever though, very generic.
>>750371719Japanese is 50% English loanwords and the other 50% are Chinese loanwords from 1000 years ago.
>>750372131>50% are Chinese loanwords from 1000 years ago.and yet they have zero literature because they live in a communist shithole lmao
>>750365504Yeah, AI limit is the only Chinese game that does names well.
>>750362410Fuck chinese games.
>>750372186Journey to the West! And Romance of the Three Kingdoms! And... uhh...
>>750372186>china>0 literaturelol
>>750372186A few Chinese books dominate even the modern Japanese imaginationJourney to the west -> DBZ3 kingdoms -> dynasty warriorsWater margin -> Suikoden
>>750372219Probably because it goes for a scifi setting instead of historical wankery.
>>750372279The Three Body Problem
>>750372279If you want something recent, 3 body problem is one of the most influential sci fi works written. Its influence can be heavily found in Chinese vidya like genshin impact.
>>750368914PvE action games like this have always been easy. Even /v/'s favorite From Software's games are easy once you've played one of them and got used to the control and jank and each one features dozens of different crutches you can use to make the game even easier? If you want difficulty play PvP.
>>750362410>wuxiaDon't care
Why did people think this game would be soulslike difficulty?
>>750372601That's what chinks have been doing (wukong wuchang)
>>750371719>>china has strong national identity >>every single chinaman wants to learn english and move to western countriesYou still haven't figured out why they want that?Anyway, that anon is both right and wrong. Japan wants to appear weak and submissive, but I truly think they are just playing the long game after WW2. The Japanese are still very much proud of their nation, and they definitely still remember the economic boom that the USA played a direct part in helping them - a mistake the USA will not let happen again.>>750370416>How come chinks and japs are so different despite being right next door? Why does Japan have shame and dishonor but China doesnt?They are different but only superficially. At their core, they still have shame, honor, moral compass, etc.
>>750372679Wukong was very easy except for like a couple of bosses.
>>750362410An IGN's 9 is an Asmongold, Grummz, and Critical Drinker 6.Not buying this WOKE SLOP made by NON-WHITE COMMUNISTS. This game's success means a win for the WOKE MOB and I'm NOT letting that happen!!!!!!!
I guess will see if the lack of difficulty is that bad, but I wonder how they would patch it.
>>750372884asmongoy is definitely shilling this chinkslop doe
>>750372823That is very subjective, as a greatshield enjoyer I thought the same about Elden Ring.But it clearly works like a soulslike. Healing is limited and not instant, if you die to boss phase 2 you start over from phase 1, etc
>>750372601Beacuse it is a soulslike
>Too easy even on hellwalker>Enemies don't respawn>Don't have to redo boss phases if you dieWhat's the point if the devs don't have the balls to make the hardest difficulty actually hard?
>>750372765>they definitely still remember the economic boom that the USA played a direct part in helping them - a mistake the USA will not let happen again.Haha, China is now the world’s most powerful industrial nation.The reason is that after China joined the WTO in 2001, Europe and the United States shifted their industries to China.They did this solely to take advantage of China’s cheap labor, so their stock prices would rise by a few percentage points.As a result, more than 20 years later, both Europe and the U.S. have fallen into severe deindustrialization, while China’s factories have drained capital from the entire world.White people sold the goose that laid the golden eggs to the Chinese, just so they could buy a few more houses.
>>750372823Just like all soulslikes.
>>750373006>if you die to boss phase 2 you start over from phase 1, etcShould somebody tell him?
>>750372601Soulslike aren't hard though?
>>750372884>Asmongold, Grummz, and Critical DrinkerWhat number will xqc give it?
>>750373096Chinese "people" don't believe in difficulty in video games. Unless you can pay to bypass it, of course.
>>750373137The post was about Wukong, you illiterate shitskin muttgolem niggercattle .
>>750373109If one company takes advantage of chinas cheap labor you have to as well or be outcompeted, it's just how capitalism works.
>>750365304I hate the Chinese but C'mon Wukong was an at at least or bare minimum 7
>>750373372Chinese labour isn't even cheap anymore.

>>750373413Yes it is compared to western salaries
why was the other thread deleted? anyway I'm kinda hype for this game, i loved devil may cry and this looks fun.I stil have to finish sekiro
>>750365764Those are some very generous 3/5s some should be 2/5s
>>750372186Literature is so common there is unironically netflix and tiktok for novels over there, including all kind of brainrots that have few thousand chapters eachAlso the literature scene is so strong that basically most of tv series and large part of movies come from novelsBasically reading books and novels over there is equivalent to watching tiktok, a common thing, instead of being viewed as something that get put on a pedestal like other places
>>750372884Asmongold has shilled every single trailer this game showed
>>750373372>it's just how capitalism works The West hoped China would become a market where capitalism could compete freely.Their wishes have come true; China now does indeed have a large number of capital-based companies.What the Westerners didn’t expect was that the Chinese would actually come out on top.
why are photo realistic visuals always so muddy looking
>>750366190God, I wish we had real winters and bearable summers again. This summer was a death march. Took a vacation to Iceland in September, the cold sea breeze soothed my soul.One day I want to live there. Far away from those fucking 40° summers in Germany.

gaming is being fucking saved and im tired of people not noticing it yetgodd games from studios without infinite budgets are being released left and right while shitty studios unable to produce anything of value are being closed, we truly are healing. and now with chinese joining in we are about to witess a new golden era of gaming. the only people who are refusing to see it out of spite are burgers who are detached from reality, they still think they're a leading force and can not let things go, Bioware closure shows it perfectly, burgers are so deluded that they're crying and whining about a studio that has not released a single good game in over 10 years instead of moving on and trying to embrace someone else, and it hurts them even more that chinese are now making better vidya lol
>>750375028americans believe the wildest shit
>>750365304
>>750375097Burgers have been brainwashed into disliking anything made in Asia there is no saving them
>>750373406Nah, 6 is more than fair. It's a terrible videogame 100% of the time when you're not in boss fights.

>>750375236>It's a terrible videogame 100% of the time when you're not in boss fights.Just like every other soulslike. Good thing you're fighting bosses most of the time compared to the dungeoning slog that is half the game of any soulslike.
>>750374286I blame the godawful post processing effects that often plague UE5 titles, like depth of field, chromatic aberration, motion blur, bloom... this engine is fucking cursed. Doesn't help that so many games have terrible art styles in the current gen offering bad visual clarity going all out on meme lighting effects.
>lived long enough to see /v/ become 3rd worldist and defend ChinaslopIt's so over
>>750375326I highly disagree. Dark Souls is full of fun and memorable levels to play, Wukong is just terribly amateurish in this aspect. Hopefully they'll improve in their next game.

>>750375440Nah they know it to be true, their trailers for their new game is still also just showcasing boss fights. There's more fun to be had fighting bosses than trying to navigate through a pointless dungeon with traps and shit
>>750375480>104 critic reviews>25 critic reviews
>>750375480So will the chinks of /v/ finally shut the fuck up about the games media having an imaginary bias against chink games?
>>750375568>about the games media having an imaginary biasIt's not the media it's just /v/. Everyone was praising Wukong outside of /v/
>>750365304americans are just retardeddecades of being brainwashed that china bad has its consequences, they can't put their hatred toward china away when they're reviewing a videogame, and you can be 10000% sure glowniggers or other tentacles of US government went and told publishers, reviewers etc. to always shit on china if they don't want to get in troubleamerican and many of western jurnos have ZERO credibility, it's been like this for years. anyone with a brain stopped giving a shit about their reviews, opinions and scoresz that's why if someone has more than 80 iq is able to see if a game is good for themselves, we are not in the 2000 where access to games was scarce and developers had limited means of showing their games to the audiences, now they can upload a 30 minutes long gameplay video before release and you have a lot of independent reviewers who you can at least trust a little bit that they're not full of shit and biased toward/against something they're reviewingAmerica is seriously pathetic right now, a laughing stock not being taken seriously by anyone in the world and it's their government, industries, high tech giants and every aspect of their life and their country that is being ridiculed all over the world

>>750362410The game does look pretty good, im very excited for it
>>750363070you forget that elden ring was and still is a technical mess. with billions in the bank from elden ring, they better make a god tier engine for the next one or they're fucking hacks. in any case, this proves that optimization and other shit does not matter, despite what gamers say. look at ark survival evolved the worst optimized and ugliest and most poorly made jank in all of gaming, yet one of the most successful money printers in gaming history. technical competence never mattered to gamers
Difficulty is mixed, some people saying it's piss easy or hard but reasonable.
>>750376372the chinese are basically mantids
Do all the reviews say the story is shit?
I don't need it to be another soulslop, I miss spectacle action games like Bujingai

Wonder how the reception will be considering IGN said its easy on 66 Days mode.
>>750375028>you literally go to jail for owning alice in wonderland in china lmfaoIronically this was only true in the Republic of China (Taiwan) since some warlord governor decided to ban it

>>750377254They do great detailed reviews
>>750362941>too much of the story was told through notes and says it was all too hard to keep track ofI feel like there's a really big popular franchise that does exactly this in every title
>>750376271You forgot Chrono Odyssey and Archeage Chronicles, the former which was a complete disaster, and the latter which is currently looking like a big fat joke too.
>>750362410>Chink sloppass

>>750377360iirc this guy also gave AI Limit 5/10But I think he's just sloppy at his job and gives out high scores if the game has social media buzz or otherwise looks high budget
>>750365504>The Hunt, Hunter of the OrderKojima would be proud.
So apparently the game runs like garbage on steam machine. Any word on base ps5 performance?
>>750377386I seen people actually it's hard, but all over the place currently.

>>750362410How does a game with a mediocre story get rated 9/10? Also next time you post Youtube videos, remove the tracking link after the ?
Taiwan won. CCP lost.
>>750378123There‘s not a single game with a good story. Who gives a shit
>>750370992>it naturally follows that its cultural works will not include content reflecting an inferiority complex.Most chink media brims with inferiority complex wtf are you talking about? Also all of their wuxia slop is filled with violence, adultery, cuckshit and lack of morals. All of it has rape and torture since chinks are not humans
>>750362410I was hyped when it was first revealed but since it became soulslop I slowly lost all interest.
>>750378123souls games get high scores all the time now
Unironically, why does every chinese marketing campaign devolve around the shills screaming about japan le bad xD?
>>750378330Happens with Korean games too, chinese, koreans and SEAmonkeys all resent Japan for being superior
>>750378330they are still mad japan raped them during ww2
>>750363070If this was true, it wouldnt have reviewed as well, it'd be all in the 6s

>>750378210Anon, the difference is that Chinese people like to depict violence and war in their writing.White people, on the other hand, like to do that in real life,and they also like to pretend they’re champions of justice.Basically, it’s genocide and slavery carried out in the name of God.
>>750365798>Stellar Blade>gamplay & combat very goodLol, no.
>>750378254>soulslopThis isn't a Souls-style game; it's more like an action game in the vein of Devil May Cry.
>>750378713Nothing like DMC, there's a stamina bar. It's a souls-lite.
>>750378759I can't tell this game apart from wwm and I probably have 300 hours in wwm.
>>750378759You can choose the difficulty level,it's a typical action game.
>>750378634Think the metascore will average out to around 75-80. Seems about right from what I've seen.
>>750362410If this is just Onimusha, I'm closing the tab.
>>750379385You can also choose the difficulty level in Lies of P. Are you gonna say that one is not a soulslike as well?
>>750379585It's not, the exploration is garbage.
>>750379607so just like dark souls 3
>>750379450I doubt it will go that low.
>>750379585If you could choose the difficulty, it wouldn't be a Souls-like game.It would just be an action game that relies heavily on save points.
>>750379668No.
why the FUCK does a 25 hour linear game require 150gb of storage? what the FUCK are the devs doing??? do they not compress shit?
I will use the cheapest exploits on female bosses.
>>750380554They used unreal engine 5 and apparently if you turn off some of the effects that make it more demanding it actually leads to a bigger file size
This is pretty bad...https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3qNkvdSWDmc&t=375s&pp=2AH3ApACAYoIFEABShBjVzB0bkY2S05ZcGwxT2xa&ra=m

>>750370259Beast of Reincarnation
>>750380923How so?
>denuvoI'll just wait for voices to release the game.
I know the steam machine is not the most powerful device by any means but the fact that you can‘t hit 60fps even on the absolute lowest settings with fsr performance at 1080p is insane. This game might have worse optimization than wukong
>>750381919ue5
>>750381983Other ue5 games aren‘t this bad. Even gears of war e day runs better
>>750370587Khazan and mortal shell are just generic European fantasy instead
>>750362410I saw another reviewer gave it a 6 but it was because of the story and it being too hard lmao.
>>750368059Yeah, because they're retarded. They gave mixtape a 10
>>750366086Wuchang is a better game than Wukong.
>>750382113In your own gay world
>>750365304The blatant bias against Asian games from games journos at play again.
>>750362693I prefer it to medieval European fantasy which seems to be the default alternative that really is even more generic.
>>750362941>it is a generic revenge story>also it was too hard to keep track ofYou know, I don't even doubt the story isn't all that, the doubt comes from someone apparently being too retarded and low-attention-span to keep up with a story they claim is generic.
>>750382134Wukong's great but outside of it's boss fights the game is mediocre all around. Wuchang is just much consistently better with only the boss fights being in Wukong's favor and maybe the art directly depending on personal preferences. Outside of that Wuchang is better in every single way.
>>750382230Its Wuxia so I imagine they name drop a dozen different sects, the word Heavenly Demon, and the Beggar Sect is how you learn about random shit happening in the world. Its similar to Nioh/Onimusha where they just lore dump yokai bullshit all over the actual story.
>>750382230kek yeah a story can't be generic and also hard to follow. Those are very blatantly mutually exclusive.
>>750365304Thing is, 3/5 (which is the actual score) is vastly differnet to the gamer brain than 6/10.4/5 feels like a 9/10. 3/5 feels like an 8/10. It's not logical but that's how it works.When you give something a 3/5 you felt it was pretty good. When you give it 6/10 you felt it was dogshit.
>>750382010>gears of war e dayAlthough there are many transgender DEI employees in the studio, The Coalition is actually the company within Microsoft that understands the UE5 engine best.Second only to Epic.Furthermore, Gears of War: E Day cost $500 million to produce, while Phantom Blade Zero cost $60 million.
>>750365304Eurogamer literally gives 3/5 stars to every single game. 3/5 gets translated to 6/10
>>750362410eh they also gave onimusha a 10 and i was mind-numbingly bored of that game after 6 hours
>>750362410>paid reviews >chineseReeks. Where’d they cut corners? That’s the chink hallmark after all.
>>750382480It's the games journo metric. 0-5 doesn't actually exist. Your score exists between 5-10 and so 6/10 is actually a 1/5.
>look up steam page>Denuvo
I'll play it. I love wuxia.
>>750365764Who the fuck read "eurogamer" ?
>>750362941and a big fat who-the-fuck-cares to you my good friend
>>750362410Fake news from the woke left. This is a confirmed FLOP
I may get this just because I've been chasing the high I got from Sekiro ever since, with mostly disappointment. How let down am I going to be?
Is it mostly parrying like Sekiro?
>>750385297I don't know man the game isn't out yet.
Besides Fextralife who hated the exploration, most reviewers loved it.
>>750362410>88 with only 33 reviews It's gonna drop even more. China failed. Rockstar, Nintendo and Capcom dominate them.
No one will remember this game after next week.
How many unironic paid China-state shills do you think frequent 4chan?
>>750386124cope.
>>750386392Wait till Thursday and Friday and you'll see. Asmongoy is gonna shill this hard
>>750386431You'll never make games people care about. You'll always live under Japan and the wests scrotom.
So about 50+ hours to do everything?
no demo?
>unreal engine
>>750365304Wuchang is great while Wukong is pure unoptimized garbage slop
Shill up says its like a sony movie game in the first 2 minutes of his review
So, good exploration and fun combat but not really challenging and with checkpoints mid boss battles.Sounds like a fun game regardless, as long as exploration is good it's probably going to be better than Onimusha at the very least.
SHILL UP said that it was very easy and he beat most bosses first try and that the game is similar to 2018 god of war
https://youtu.be/eRByk5G3nck>Game is easy>Game is like Nu-God of War>Game is NOT like Sekiro, Nioh, Lies of PLost a lot of my excitement for the game. Nu-GoW fucking sucks, and why would I want to play some braindead easy action game with a trash-tier story?
>>750388454At most they could is do a patch that makes enemies hit harder.
>>750379607Soulslike games are known for their bosses, rollslop sluggish combat.They didn't get famous due to exploration, nobody cares about exploration
>>750388709Pretty sure Dark Souls 1 is held up years later for its interconnected world and exploration, you retard. You actually have no idea what you're talking about.
>>750375097It's not. All the institutions that ruined it are still around and you're celebrating the deaths of a few names they had burned through the reputation of
Are people actually excited for this game or hate it cause it scored high?
>settings: maxxed>dlss: quality>frame gen: on>path tracing: enabledyep, it's gaming time
>>750389020I was looking forward to it since I saw the initial announcement and learned it was on PC day 1. However, I'm less excited to learn that it is more like God of War and generally easy.
>>750388640That won't help. If a parrycore game is easy it's because the movesets and enemy AI are lacking
>>750389071>more like God of War and generally easyso no different than Wukong...
>>750381518okay
>>750363070it has a little something for everyone
>>750389020People dislike it because it's a CCP shilled game with Unreal Sloppa on top
