Once you get access to armor upgrades from yin tiger, then you can upgrade any armor to have better stats if you want one of the early armors for its ability
For the voice acting part i am guessing you are referring to the English dub? Most of the times English dubs fail to capture the feeling of the original source material. Playing it on Chinese should be better. Actually you should always watch/play movies/games in their original source language. Dubs 90% of the time suck badly.
I just hate that they didnt really put much defense in the game, i guess since Wukong is a monkey, they want him to roll and flip everywhere, looks kool but that one issue makes the game more difficult than it would be if i could defend in more ways than just being evasive for the most part, then the fact that there are so many bosses and sub bosses that hit way harder than Wukong does, without knowledge of the games mechanics and everything, the game has become less enjoyable, i dont fancy being stuck on a boss for HOURS….my OCD makes me wanna keep going but once my head and eyes begin to hurt, i gotta step away and Wukong has definitely PISSED ME OFF
bruh there is a blacksmith that upgrades all your equipment to par so you can absolutely chose builds.
It is way overrated. The story is great the combat leaves alot to be desired. It is somewhere between being a soulslike and a bad platinum game. The dodge is way too strong and the game has no depth to its combat systems. Its like bayonetta with a stamina bar and no style.
You should update this. You missed out on the secret location that allows you to upgrade gear. Not loosing value of defense when you go for a specific build with gear.
Dang being a “gamer” sure has changed since I was a kid back then when a games voice acting was bad and a story didn’t make sense we generally would call that a bad game…..
Ppl saying it’s overrated are all on wandering wights kill list
I wish I could figure out how to enjoy the game like others. I've played all the souls games, GoW, etc, and I'm just not understanding the comparisons people are making. The hitboxes and performance on my PC have made it completely unenjoyable.
06:08 The gearing system is not bad, you just didnt get to the point where you could upgrade your armors on the Blacksmyth so you can choose the best equipment for your playstyle.
Its not a contender. It IS the game of the year. And its not even close. Stellar Blade is great but it aint this.
Is there going to be an Xbox release? And if so when?
Straight to the point, keep the facts real and focus on the game itself only, no BS about outside game controversy. Great game review.
Started the game , and I'm really enjoying it. The game is graphically amazing ! Gameplay is a lot of fun.
Btw you can upgrade armor. It’s a quest line in chapter 3 after you get off the turtle.
There is nothing wrong with the armor system?
Ask the people who were hoping that "Final Fantasy 16" would be a RPG.
After each milestone, you could craft the next better weapon and armor… nothing changes other than numbers go up.
This is super boring, no matter the game or genre.
Because there, you also always just create the next best thing and never look back.
It's a 7/10
maybe they will make another one for prequel, since western consumers not very known with journey to the west stories
You can upgrade armor
😅You need deep understanding of Journey To The West, Chinese history and social norms, Buddhism, Daoism, and Confusionism to fully understanding the story. That's even hard for a Chinese player let along international players. I believe videos will come out to explain the story later.
How difficult would you say this game is compared to other games like Elden Ring, Lords of the fallen, Sekiro etc…
Only 40hrs that's kinda pathetic tbh. 60 dollar game and u don't even get 0ver 60hrs of gameplay lmfao. Wild how short ganes are nowadays
is there weapon variety to customise fight style?
I’m like 4 hours in. I don’t get the hype. It’s just another souls-like game.
Please stop calling this game "souls-like". It's not. Not even close.
another channel to be ignored
the character/boss design is fucking lit
For voice acting the Chinese version really works wonder . The character usually speaks in a very chinese poetic way and its hard to replicate or express what they are trying to say in english. Being a chinese i think the voice in chinese really do remind me of how the novel should be like
😂 glad I'm a Playstation fan lol
Game just looks boring
If anyone is interested in the story but do not like reading so much there is a Parcast episode that covers Journey to the West pretty well. It hits all the important story beats and stays for the most part true to the story whole presenting a nice audio storytelling format.
For armor you can get access to a blacksmith to upgrade individual armor. So if you like a set, you can keep it.
The exploration for this game is bad. Not the content itself, the content is great. Navigating about however needs to be better. There’s a lot of invisible walls and no map, lots of terrain you can’t jump over. At the same time there’s terrain you CAN jump over which you’d have absolutely zero idea that you could since there’s invisible walls. This makes exploration tedious as you hit invisible wall after invisible wall trying to find accessible terrain. That is if you like to explore.
Im a casual gamer not itk, why is there so much controversy around this game?
Put it on Chinese dubs, it sounds better
how much chinece communist party paid you for promoting this crap?
Gorgeous game.
I played 3 hours and was unplayable due to crashes, fps drops and severe spikes. I was on pc with a 4090 and Intel 12900kf. I literally got stuck on a boss and couldn't beat them due to crashes and fps drops. Ended up requesting a refund. There's also no map. You really get lost trying to navigate around abit tedious but manageable.
Overall: don't buy untill they atelast patch these crashes and performance issue. Game is not ready for release in this state.
The animations in this game may be the best I've seen in a game. They're incredibly nunced and full of character.
