It looks awesome, but it's not a genre I enjoy. I like the reinterpretation of Journey to the West in a darker tone. I admire that the developers gave a big middle finger to the Western American impositions. Despite this, I'm not interested in the game, I won't buy it, and I won't play it. I hope it meets the expectations of those who are hyped, but generally, Chinese games tend to have poor writing, and the story is mainly what interests me.

Like with every game nowadays I'm waiting for it to come out and I'll how's the general reception. I stopped being hyped for games. Of course, I'd prefer if it was good, because it's better to have more good games than bad ones.

Well people have been disappointed so it understandable when a hyped game has doubts

A lot of people expect more from this game than it can deliver. I bet it will be an okay game, but nothing special. I alsob bet a lot of people will be dissapointed, because in their head the game was supposed to be an absolute banger.

It's partially fans' fault. I say partially, because using pre-rendered videos, and telling lies is on developers. But judging the game based on those pre-rendered videos and lies, and not based on the actual full game is on fans. Cause it has been the standrad practice for such a long time, but people keep falling into this trap, thinking that they can't lie. To which I can only roll my eyes, because even gameplay is usually faked in these kinds of videos.

The controversy around the game is... amusing, mildly said.
It's like murricans screaming "communism bad" whenever a politician even dares to think about public welfare or how climate activists here in Germany cause hour-long traffic jams and force airplanes to stay longer in the air in the name of "saving the climate"...

The people trying to force the game to cater to "modern audiences" and change cultural and mythological facts are the same ones that cry "cultural appropriation" when someone else tries to wear a Native American costume during Halloween...

Sure, the dev is "based", as some people would call it, and mildly concerning in a few of his points, but who isn't?

Nah, I'm apolitical, neither right nor left. Some of my best friends are from both ends of the spectrum, so they piss me off with their radical stuff in general. Concerning video games and movies, sure, I tend to currently be more right-aligned than I normally am since in these fields left-radicals tend to be the small-minded ones that try to enforce a rigid regime and push away free thought with their agenda. If you ever tried to read those "good practices for game design" or whatever BS they call those currently, you'd also be against those if you're someone who likes character- and story-driven games, since they actively advocate against those in favor of forced diversity for the only sake of diversity and Mary Sue Girlbosses being the very stereotype they try to advocate against, but with a vagina instead...

People should at least have the right to tell whatever story they want, even if what they have to tell sends them into jail. Preventing things you don't want to hear from being said is the first step into a dystopia, no matter how good the intentions are.

I've been hyped since I first saw gameplay footage a while back. Also, to those saying it's a souls like (which I don't believe is an actual genre anyways), it is very different. From what I've heard, it won't have a roll or a parry, and the upgrade system will be easy to respec. People really need to stop calling every action game that comes out a souls like just because it's mildly difficult. If DMC came out today, people would probably call it a souls like, and that's ridiculous.
