I can tell this game will be a big hit with gamers, but mainstream will hate it.
Similar with Wukong, gamers will love this game. But..

Journos and corpo grifters will collectively come up with a smear campaign because the game doesn't fit with their worldview.

Lately, too few games are made with genuine gamers in mind, as many seem more focused on virtue signaling than on delivering fun experiences. That's why I'm all for projects like this. Even if critics try to undermine it, quality games will get the support they deserve. The numbers always speak for themselves.
Let them hate it. This game already sold me. Those people are nothing but mindless zombies.

Attempt to smear will probably backfire considering the wild context of the game. Feedback from the Japanese on the trailers have only been positive.

However western journos seem to be attempting to snub it already, by not giving it any media attention.

Its actually an indie game dev and they dont have the budget to market like Wukong. The best we can do is spread word of the trailer and let people wishlist. Journos cant touch wishlist numbers

When a game is made by a developer in a country with serious issues with another country and it's this reverent of the culture, that's pretty impressive. What surprises me the most is that it was allowed to be made and released in the first place. The CCP does not at all hide it's disdain for Japan and it's people. All companies in China must go through a CCP official. I actually think the satirical nature of the game is serving as a smokescreen/distraction/cover story/plausible deniability and that's a good thing. Hopefully they don't change their minds later.

Anything else is better than the recent triple A games.
Since smaller studios can actually be creative and free from the corporate shills and shareholder greed.
This looks like one of the wonderful games the Japanese used to make 10+ years ago.
Over the top crazy and fun. But the west forgot what fun is.

Who cares what they say. TV and magazines is ancient history. Websites with news and game reviews are a thing of the past as well.

X is the only thing you need for uncensored news. So, just let them fade away with their insignificant opinions.

Yep, which is why they are so desperate to hold onto what little power they have. They are losing their ability to gatekeep ideas and opinions in the industry and they know it.

Black Myth Wukong got 81 on Metacritic and you still have nitwits crying about smear campaign by the games press.

Are you trying to tell us there was no attempt by mainstream media to discredit the devs of Wukong?

Edit: Nevermind, dont bother answering. Your post history is full of you defending gaming "journalists".
