How do i get the stupid yellow rat to stop kicking me into the sand
>>492045283do the secret area boss.
Good game, but needs more porn.
Did a new patch drop or what? I used to get 40fps at cinematic and RTX on with my 4090, but suddenly I am running 90-120 stable.
There's so much noise and propaganda over this game it's fucking insane. It's impossible to get a proper review.Is the lore and environmental depth comparable to Dark Souls or something else?Does it go in-depth into the legend? How good is the story? How long?The gameplay looks pretty cool, but I've only seen bosses and barely anything else. How is the regular gameplay? How open is the world? Are there NPC interactions (towns, etc) or is it more combat focused?
>>492048306Lore is perhaps the deepest ever, since its full of Buddhist, Daoist, Confucian philosophy, and the stories of the enemies and bosses are very well written and explore the themes of the game.
>>492049353What about the rest I mentioned? And when you say "the stories of the enemies" you mean story we actually play through, or background lore?I get the sense this game is not really very story-heavy, and I would hate to buy it and discover this after 10 hours in.
Monke..how to parry
>>492048306There is a lot of lore, each character/enemy journal entry has like 3-4 paragraphs and tons of cutscenes for bosses and NPCs. The story could be a bit confusing to me as someone who never read journey to the west. Its pretty straightforward mythological stuff similar to God of War (series).The gameplay is a lot like Sekiro, bonfires and clearing levels is the same. But a little more focus on stuff like stats, stamina, mana bar, other meters which allow you to transform, summon clones, parry, freeze and other abilities. And you constantly generate and use "focus points" to do different kinds of power slam/thrust attacks. The areas are huge, some are too huge and are kinda labyrinthian actually. There's too many branching paths in chapter 3. But there's many enemies in there, some are actually hard, miniboss tier
>>492049938>journal entries>sekiroDamn. It's like they took the things I hate the most from the From games I like the least and put them together.
>>492049538It is all about the story.It is actually not like the From games where you need to guess the story yourself, they go a long way to tell you the story in well animated cutscenes with styles (anime, puppet show etc).The only thing that is confusing maybe is the backstory of why someone does what he does, or the references to the original 16th century story, as well as the Buddhist morality.But this is a game about mythology and they go out of the way to write journal entries for everything.
>>492050754I like the journal entries.
>>492051247They are kino. Like a story by themselves and humanizing the enemies into sometihng more than just targets for you. Kinda feels bad killing those wolves, since they seem to be pretty bro guais.
>>492047304After 4 years in development i don't think they needed a week to patch some issue they missed before.
>>492048306I wish there was a town and proper NPCs to interact with but nah. Most of the game is spent murdering anything you come across without much context like you're some kind of monkey murder tourist who can't speak the language. It really sucks given how the sun wukong guy in the beginning had actual personality. You play some painfully voiceless shell that feels hollow and downright boring. The games steeped in theme is what it is, very thematic and loreful, but very lacking in actual story. They dropped the ball in actually telling a good story as opposed to just letting you be that robot monkey murder tourist on his murder expedition world tour.
>the hotshot supermonkey that's fucked up Heaven itself on multiple occasions recinded his own Buddhahood so he can leave the Court and fuck off back to his mountain in peace>sends a literal army and thier biggest, meanest heavy hitters to bring him to heelMakes sense, Heaven wouldn't want a loose cannon out and about like tha->oh and while they're there they attempt to genocide Monkey's people for kicksThe fuckity fuck? I'm with Wukong on this, what possible benefit does killing normal monkeys grant Heaven other than to ROYALLY piss off the one guy you legitimately fear?
>>492053278Great intro, too bad it doesn't carry on from there. Story basically ends after the first 3 minutes, the last tale of sun wukong, the monke with actual voice lines. The rest of the game is basically just gameplay.
I don't know how i did it but i beat that fucker kang jing loong.
Question, if i switch branches on the weapon tree, do i waste all the mats and will i used to craft the original weapon?
GIVE IT TO ME STRAIGHT, DOES HE GET MY RELICS IF I DESACTIVATE THEM????
>>492058321Not really. It's a small cost so switch back.
I think I got the bad ending... the fuck was all that about?
I find the boss fights in this game are way better designed than Lies of PI can often dodge attacks I have never seen before in this game because most fights are still pretty rhythmic and consistent with good tells. In LoP they just put difficulty above all and make the enemies have erratic, sometimes random delays, some with barely any tell (or none)
What does NG+ and beyond offer besides the true ending? Am I getting any extra story outside of the ending?
>>492074443Enemies do more damage and they will always unlock their 2nd phase no matter if you play aggressive or not
Here's my one major critique of the game, I hate 1frame attacks. It's possible to learn them. I've beaten the game, but until you comprehend a boss's movelist, you're going to be guessing between whether he's going to instantly fly at you for an attack or if there's going to be a wind-up before it. When a lightning fast 1-frame attack is thrown at you, you have to already be dodging to avoid it. Pressing dodge on reaction isn't fast enough and you'll get hit every time. I find it very difficult to master the game. You have to memorize the very quick attacks. I really like all the bosses that don't have fast attacks like that, which there are plenty of, mind you, but I'm sure you can imagine which ones I'm talking about.This is going to be the obligatory Sekiro is a masterpiece part. It's such a joy how I know how to navigate every attack of Isshin's fight. Everything is telegraphed enough that you make a conscious decision on how to counter his attacks. Deflecting, jumping, mikiri counter, lightning reversal. I can REACT to his moves, he isn't going to instantly throw out a 1frame attack at me.
>>492078848Skill issue
>>492078848This game is 100 times easier and telegraphs attacks much better. Perfect dodging fast attacks isn't hard and you have plenty of counters to follow up with after dodging. Unfortunately, this is a skill issue on your part.
>>492078848If you don't explore for shit, the game will be harder. If you look out for everything, you will be rewarded with the best abilities and items that can carry you on easily in the game.That's why even though the bad ending is the hardest one to get since you will be fighting bosses with all their bullshit, it's the least rewarding one.
>>492079779>>492080469riiiiiiiiight, sure. Your guys' arguments are so compelling and convincing. I bet you guys beat Yellow Loong first try and would be so comfortable doing it again a few weeks from now when the fight isn't fresh in your mind anymore.
>>492045283Rock solid and break his leg>>492045915Check E621
>>492081184>the game with more variation and better combat is easier than the game with 5 movesNot that hard to understand
>Stone Wukong steals my sippy
>>492082019It was cute the first time, but it's fucked up that you can't skip that animation on future attempts.
>>492082019It's lore-accurate
>>492082019He did that shit 4 times to me, it's super random at times. One time he never did it at all.
>Everyone on youtube is using pillar stanceThrust is the best, people sleeping on it
>>492082859Smash > thrust > pillar. Don't have the 4th one yet
The "4th" is basically just a variation of Smash with cooler animations and you're overpowered. You can just Light Attack Combo things to death in the few scenes they let you use it.
Just finished Chapter 5. Why was it so short? Seemed really bizarre after the utter kino that were 3&4. Is 6 better?
>>492048306>The gameplay looks pretty cool, but I've only seen bosses and barely anything else.Because there's a billion bosses in this game and only one (1) is copypasted, everyone else is unique and it's fucking awesome. The level design is pretty good, though there's too many invisible walls sometimes. The story is difficult to follow if you know absolutely nothing about the mythos, if you're familiar with it (or even just the TV series) then it's supreme fucking kino.
>>4920904376 is just as short, but short in a different way
>>492082172heal in cloud step.It's crazy how much better it is compared to rock stone in late game
Man in going through chapter 3 right now and it feels like such a ripoff of dark souls 1 icy area where you also get knocked out and jailed. Seriously, they couldn't come up with anything original?
>>492088112>the few scenes they let you use itbut you can use it everywhere after you beat the game?
>>492091119It feels way more like an actual prison here though.
It's been more than a week. So there's no other secrets or endings besides Erlang in ch6?
How the fuck do I beat white clad noble or whatever when he turns into the mega cum The first phase aināt a problem but I lose mana about 3/4 of the way through phase 2
>>492092276normie filter
Kang Jin might have the worst hit boxes of all time. My focus doesn't stay on her head and the body doesn't get hit in all places. What were thinking???
reminder yaoguai women were made for human men
>>492090776>only one (1) is copypastedthat's just wrong, there are like multiple frog bosses and there are like a few normal mobs that turned to bosses
>>492093730The frogs are what I meant with one (type) being copypasted and even then it's clearly intentional with the different elements. What normal mobs are turned into bosses?
How do I get these chests?
i dont like chapter 4 except for the sexy spider guai sisters. i fucking hate centipedes AND the centipede guai fight was too easy.
>>492093863>What normal mobs are turned into bosses?there's this orochimaru thingy guy and the fungi boss
this is a most auspicious gift from buddha, right? nothing can go wrong here.
>>492094128oh and the worm
>>492094128>>492094325Oh come on, those aren't actual bosses and you know it.
>>492082859in terms of damage I think smash is the highest, and for stance breaking I feel like pillar is the highest, thrust got that nice dodge -> 4 focus insta bonk and range
Fuck these lightpole things in chapter 3. I'm scared straight and afraid of jail
Bros...
>>492095924sex with spider
I don't like that I can't knock enemies off the edge in the jail but they can get me off easy
>>492097832You can knock them off. Use a Thrust Stance heavy attack on those dudes just standing at the edge.
>>492097996for me it is a jump heavy atttack
>>492053903>The rest of the game is basically just gameplayYep, except for the secret bosses and chapter animations

>>492051905>>492047304Yes a new patch just dropped. Refer to >>492100639
so is this the "you didn't beat the game" of this game?
>>492101816Either this or Spell Binder. Arguably the latter because Pluck is useless against most of the more dangerous bosses.
>>492047304Did you buy this on epic or wegame? Nothing on me on steam atm.
>>492103780>4PM UTC+8Kk nevermind that's in 5 hours. That anon's PC simply decided to wake up after a restart.
>>492100639>Added translations for song titles and lyrics in Music library in several languages and corrected display errors in English lyrics.nice
>>492045915wOOkong looks like that!?????
>>492100639Played the entire game and had 0 issues nor framedrops.Do people not play with Ryzen and Nvidia 4070 minimum???Like if you use intel in 2024 than you are fucking retarded.
>>492101816I found this very useless but there is a secret area that boosts this spell so incredibly crazy that it makes it broken.
>>492100639where's the map update Xi?
>>492105265>linear game>he needs a map
>>492105841i have a bad sense of direction and placei would die in the simplest rat maze
>>492101816No. Transformations are the "You didn't beat the game"
>>492105841yea the snow map on chapter 3 is surely linear, stupid frog poster
>>492100639Also the infinite Mana Glitch is still working.
>go to youtube>watxh some Wukong gameplay vids>every video is a bunch of Chinese people trying to explain the backstory of who is WukongHoly autism, we don't need to know
>tiger vanguard Man this guy is pushing my shit in
>>492115489he's so hotttttttt
Do you need to collect again each Wukong armor pieces in NG+ ?
Are these niggers serious with this layout of 6? I can't tell if they are trying to parody a specific kind of slop genre or are genuinely imbeciles
>>492092276I beat him on my second try by button mashing but can't you just skip him for the time being and go to the left of the water where he is and do the third bell and get like that armor set that makes fighting in water much easier? I don't know what sense is there that they made the set accessible AFTER the boss where it's most effective, I'm guessing it's actually accessible before the fight for people having trouble
>look for wukong r34. >all furry gay shitYep. It's refund time
Yellow Loong is such bullshit. This fight is only hard because he semi counter all your parries.
I drew the monkey as he is at the end of the game :)
Protip: you can actually draw a dick and balls in the sand where you fight the beetle boss but it requires some skill and awareness beyond what you can see
>>492123641the sand trail fades pretty quickly

I refuse to believe some people hard stuck on white-clad nobleā¦
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aU2blVOtGhQthis is how monke canonically fights
>>492128456Son Goku is such a ripoff of actual monkeys. They seriously couldn't come up with anything original could they? It's like the only character that comes out of China, league of legends, DOTA, mobile legends, etc etc, it's all the same Goku character and it's just copied from actual monkeys.
I don't like Yellowbrow :(
>friend bragging about how he's creaming the game easily>finally gets to Erlang>gets his shit shmixed>starts calling the boss and game badOverconfidence is a slow and insidious killer. Through suffering I built an appreciation and love for the art of the fight, while they who know no challenge believe the universe is against them. A tale as old as time.
>>492129087What a fucking pussy. He didn't try dodging his lightning combo. He cheesed him out of it during the first attack with Rock Solid. I wanted to see him perfect dodge the lightning combo (which I think is impossible). The lightning combo is the shittiest thing in Yellow's design and I'm sure it is what kills people the most and this guy just avoids it entirely. Dislike
>>492129151All fictional characters are copied from real life. Humans(everything except God) can't create things, they simply transform it.
>>492134742Erlang is a piece of shit with instant attacks, to be fair to your friend. He's on my shitlist of bad bosses that ruin this otherwise fine game
That fucling flying pig is too tanky, so unsatisfying to fight. It's just a small runt and should just die to a single pillar stance heavy without focus.
Redpill me on thrust stance. How do I make it work?
>>492135745The skill in thrust stance that lets you instantly cast your 4-focus attack after a roll is easily the best offensive skill in the game
>>492135797So basically dodge and right click at 4 focus?
>cast charged heavy attack from cloud step >boss ALWAYS sidesteps or glitches out at the right timeinput reading onions AI
>>492136056Yep
>great pagodaAm I missing something here? It's empty.
>>492135141Many monsters, demons and aliens have no real world counterparts. You gonna say next that aliens exist? Many depictions of monsters and aliens are completely the creation of the human imagination.
>>492137030Come back after you enter chapter 6 the first time
>>492082859What's so good slot pillar stance?I tried to get into it because of Loongwreathe, but i just can't seem to enjoy it. The varied combo is so clunky compared to righteous strike
>>492135141What's the real-life counterpart for my creation here, Gneep Garp the Sorrowful?
>>492138037Your broken childhood
>>492138312>be me>born with one eye beneath my mouthYeah I'd be sorrowful too
>>492135141Another thing, what is the real world counterpart to arabic numerals?1 2 3? 0?These are purely abstract concepts creates by humans that help humans only to think in certain ways. There are many abstract things that only humans have created to facilitate human thinking toward certain ideas or philosophies and do not exist in nature.>evil
>vore boss in zhuwell that was weirdcool music though
>>492129087okay what about this onehttps://youtu.be/zMZrLHef0Ic>>492134742 >>492135219
>>492139862>Yin-Yang shirt onbased as fuck
>>492139862He used spellbinder, shit player. He didn't beat the game. dislike
>>492139862>spear-twirling the projectilesI can't believe I didn't think of thatAlso holy shit he makes see-through attacks look smooth as fuck, damn
>enter area>there are 5 paths>enter first one>it's 10 miles long and has its own forks every other "room"fucking annoying
>>492140436Calm your autism and obsession with completion.You WILL play NG+ anyway, just have an honest, fun, monke go at it the first time.
>>492139862>>492129087That's Ongbal, the first dude to beat Rahdan no damage. Crazy Gook
uh why would I want to poison myself
>>492045915>pussy eye
>>492053278>genocide all monkeys and flatten the mountain>now wu kong have no attachment and will loyalez
Even pekora beat the gamewhat your excuse?
>>492144748there is another one with damage buff during poison state
What's the point of jump attack. There needs to be a talentable gap closer followup to it. Maybe using one focus so it can't be spammed.
Anything to do before starting NG+ like selling off crap, wasting current resources on stuff and so on? Or pointless?
pretty girls
I need a freecam tool to look at these women paused and up close
>>492053903Having the Destined One be a mute ape for the rest of the game is a massive L. I'm not asking for him to be as fully realized as Wukong, talking shit left and right, but giving him anything would've helped. Just making it so that he talks back to all the NPCs so it doesn't feel like everyone's talking at you would've helped a lot.
>>492091127Fully upgrade all the relics, which takes like 3 full runs, and it becomes an install you can unlock for a minute at a time with full focus points.
So is there no way to upgrade the masks?
Really wish they went all the way like Nioh did and have your light strings change with stances too.
