BLACK MYTH: WUKONG | Asmongold Reacts

can't believe they added the monster hunter, monster stagger in this game.

I need more context behind that cutscene cause I got no idea what the heck was going in

Now, give us Zhu Bajie (Chu Pat Kai) please, it would be hilarious.

I don't know about martial arts but 0:25 dat Buddha's Palm looking like technique though

The translation is decent but way over simplied for the cutscene

6:50 They copied Elder ring, the big tree.
You are wrong.
Wukong fought many dryads in the myth, it is part of the lore.

In Journey to the West, the original story, Wukung can transform into 72 different forms.

After this game, i will probably also start saying china numbah 1

Wonder if we’ll fight the directions 🤣

"copied the tree from Elden ring" lol Elden ring copied it from berserk its not an original idea in the slightest

SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS
ELDEN RING
MONSTER HUNTER
MANY MORE….

This game is just like sekiro , just the lead character is different thats it

I was actually more fascinated with the scene which is not shown in this video but in another part of the demo where '四大天王' shows up a couple of seconds (related to the four god figures in this story or should I say Dharma Protectors?), which provided me with a strong sense of intense and pressure. Imagine if I were playing this game against them, I would be pretty stunned and leave the controller standby.

Ninja gaiden meets wo long an ronnin an elden ring vibes this game beyond anything we ever seen truly 4k game i love lore an this game has everything to be the game of the yr an beyond its remarkable what chinese an japan have done lately the hype is real here what 2023 an 2024 has for us

This, is so shocking for me too, who had heard and told this story over and over again, find myself excited for the game.
For anyone who is hardcore with the lores: *SPOILERS**

The spider spirits that were 'pacified' by the monk and his gang are supposedly dead, at least according to the original renditions of the story. But this cutscene, implies that someone of significance (probably the monk or wukong) to the spirits (which are alive???) returned to this place, which is supposed to be their home, after they returned from heaven, which is also supposely after they retrieved the holy book. And combining with the fact how the world looks dark and gloomy, and the younger girls treat wukong as if it was his first time meeting the granny spider and yet the granny obviously treated him as if he was her old acquantance…… are we dealing with alternate story line that sees a continuation after the journey to the West?? and also multiple Wukongs???? aaand the developers also hinted about twists of the original story. HELL YEAH im excited! Taoist fantasy multiverse is real.

*SPOILER Ahead + BACKGROUND Story:

The developer has told that they are gonna change the original story to create another version of Journey to the West (that happens after the ending of novel). This particular clip is telling us the story between 2 important characters in the novel: Zhu Bajie (Male) who is one of the 3 companions like Wukong for their monk teacher to protect him along the journey to west, while the 2nd important character here is ChangEr, which is the old lady presented in this video.

*Original Background Story:

In the original story, Zhu Bajie was originally a god in heaven but broke the rules by falling in love with a fairy goddess, ChangEr. Not only falling in love with her, he even accidentally caused a chaos in heaven while persuing his love and to get attention from ChangEr. Sadly, he only found that ChangEr has no interest with him and because of the mess he created, he is being punished to the Earth to experience unlimited torturing life reincarnations that caused by his love for others, which is one of the most suffering causes – Betrayed by Love. In one of his reincarnations, he became a half Pig half Man who falls in love with a girl. Of course you would see the ending of this one-way-love isn't gonna end well but he is eventually saved by his Monk Teacher and promise to help the Monk Teacher by joining him to the journey to the west, while helping and learning the way of life in the journey.

*Game Story:

The developer rethinks how the story may goes with the original story. What if…. ChangEr is actually in love with him as well, while breaking the rules of heaven together back then? Of course they made some adjustments in the original legend as well.

In this story, ChangEr is also punished by the Gods of Heaven, and she is turned into a Spider Demon. Why a spider demon you may ask…For those who are well versed with Ancient Chinese Legends, there was a group of fairies which we normally call The Seven Fairies who are the Goddess of Weaving (An interesting fact why the Spider Demon sisters are normally came with 7 person even in the original story). There was a saying that one of the Seven Fairies is actually ChangEr. Note that this is a punishment for the love that is prohibited in Heaven among gods, the punishment by heaven usually comes in an irony way. Previously, ChangEr was one of the Goddess of Weaving in the form of Silk Moth (A bug that produces silk by sacrifing itself) with the spirit of scarificing herself to help people, but now, she has became a Spider Demon who weaves only to kill, not for love. How sad and irony is this punishment… Not only that, remember that Female Spider will eat the Male after the intercourse…Along the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie, both of them met in this life, but became enemies, since one is protecting his Monk Teacher while the other side is trying to eat the Monk Teacher. Because of their positions in this life, it looks like the god is still punishing both of them in this life in the crueliest way possible…

But in this particular clip, the developer is showing the idea that when the Journey to West ends, ChangEr is still waiting for him despite after so many years…Is the groom here Zhu Bajie? Not exactly. It's actually Wukong changes its form into Zhu Bajie, and pretends to get caught by the daughters of ChangEr to have a chance to slip in this place as he has something important to get from here (no more spoiler for you). Of course, if you watch this clip again, you would see that the Elder Daughter and 2nd Daughter actually knew it's Wukong while the others not, but they still let him continues as they know how suffering is their mother all these years, and hope to give their mother a chance to marry the guy she loves along these years… Well.. sad to say that in this game story dimension, it's very likely that both Zhu Bajie and especially ChangEr, would still undergo the suffering again by not being together.

There are actually a lot messages and easter eggs inside this clip, but the English translation here is so bad, it's like totally a different script with the original Mandarin one. If you know how many ancient stories reference as well as real life structures the developer is using in this clip, you would be amazed. Also for the song that being played in this video, some of the lyrics are actually written with the ancient chinese books reference that is hinting us this is a story between Zhu Bajie & ChangEr instead of Wukong. And if you look closely in the Spider Monster in the end, you can see there's a Moth at the back of Spider. Why? It's because this is a hint for audience as Moth in Mandarin is the "Er" in "ChangEr". This is why I wanted to write this comment so bad so all people from anywhere in the world could understand that it's so much more than just a good graphic game. Rewatch this video after reading this, you would have a whole new experience! Peace!

Dragon ball was based on wukong 😂
