why can't we pause?

[FattieTunaTTV]

Just wondering what is the reason for having the ability to pause ?

This is a souls-like game, which means no pause while fighting an enemy.

You can pause in Black myth wokong and jedi survivors when fighting enemies and boss. Those two are also souls-like games

you can pause in wukong? really? i didn't know that and i finished that game.

anyway, i think the standard for souls-like games is to not be able to pause.

i like pause myself but doesn't look like they gonna add it.

pausing in souls like games is yuck, thats why you have smoke spots. get your character to a nice spot, chill there, take a boof, and continue.

The real answer is:

classic souls games are with multiplayer/invasions options.

In online mode it would be cheating to be able to pause.

So yes, Black myth wukong is able to pause because Its a pure Single Player game.

But right, there is no obvious reason why the first berserker does not have a pause function. Its nonsense...
I think it was implemented as a 'souls like game mechanic' without knowing why.

I see. Yeah it would be nice. I just wonder what makes developers decided against it for some and not for others

I agree on that, If it has online elements like multiplayer and invasions and such have ask for a pause bottom would be kinda odd. But I guess they have there own in house reasoning.

Go play soulslike games.

Because you can't pause in Dark Souls and Elden Ring.

Poor design choice. Even Sekiro has pause.

Wukong is not a souls-like. It is definitely inspired by FromSoft games (and more so Nioh) but is much more a God of War-like ARPG
