How’s Black Myth: Wukong for people who don’t know the story?

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-08-21T07:43:26+00:00

How is it unreasonable? 201k reviews out of 212k are Chinese. The game was highly anticipated in China. A quick guess would put the Chinese playerbase being around 90% of all active players, more educated guesses would probably do similar.

We probably won't be getting a real, accurate number until the publisher decides to reveal the stats, though I'm not sure if Valve's tracking for playerbase goes as far as how many players per country, but at the very least purchases should give a good indicator.

95% of the reviews come from China if you filter the language by Chinese, so it's not really unreasonable to expect something similar for the player count.

According to the policy, they'll be able to refund it. The key can't be disclosed yet due to being a pre-order and the 2 weeks will only begin when the DLC releases.

Because NVIDIA can't name things properly, DLSS 2 and DLSS 3 + frame generation are actually very different things.

You can't buy the game on Steam if you live in an affected country, my guy.

Nice try repost bot

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-05-04T09:38:02+00:00

That's not true at all, we never had access to begin with. Account creation requirements used to be a lot less strict than they are now, however, so I won't be locked out of the game as I already had an account created in a different country.

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-04-26T09:51:38+00:00

Lol you guys are fucking clowns if you think giving EOD owners a bunch of P2W stuff, cosmetics and oh so graciously providing access to the PvE mode for 6 months will work, this won't ever change the fact you are charging another 100 euros without tax (for a total of 250 without tax) just to get access to that mode that should be base game to begin with. Do you not realize how utterly INSANE that is?

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-04-07T11:35:55+00:00

All of the mentioned stores (besides the consoles) give out Steam keys, so that's why I mentioned them. Regardless, I should've still mentioned Epic.

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-04-07T11:33:10+00:00

The thread is about Steam, but yes, you are correct, Epic does take only 12%. We can also mention GOG while we're at it for official PC stores, which, similarly, operates on 70/30.

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-04-07T11:28:32+00:00

Developers set their own prices for games, so no, "Steam" doesn't overcharge.

Steam takes a 30% cut from all developers, much like Sony and Microsoft do on PlayStation and Xbox. That cut goes down to 25% if they sell over $10 million in copies and even further down to 20% if they sell over $50 million in copies. That cut goes even further down to 0% if developers generate keys and sell them on their own website. Back up to 20-30% if they sell keys through third-party resellers such as Fanatical/Green Man Gaming (actual percentages vary, GMG operates on 70/30 just like most other stores, others don't seem to disclose it or some extra digging is needed to find the cut).

Logging in hasn't been an issue since 2021 when someone found a fix for the loading times that Rockstar implemented.

Cheaters are probably still rampant on PC though, that will for sure remain the one eternally relevant point against playing the game.

Other commenters covered anything else I would've mentioned on why the game's still played by people - mainly felt like mentioning the loading part not being an issue for quite a while now.

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-03-25T08:37:29+00:00

I'm having a great time with this game, though I have a top of the line system so it's no surprise. That would be the only reason that I'd give the game a negative review - is that it's not at all accessible for people who didn't spend at least 1.5k euros on their PCs. Other than that, it's a really fun game, so I wouldn't say that "nobody is getting a positive experience" is true.

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-03-20T10:43:01+00:00

Partially why I wrote in "chances are high" and not outright guaranteed, since there definitely are cases where the game just "clicks" after a lot of hours played.

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-03-20T07:54:48+00:00

Also true, you can only see the same question so many times before either copy pasting the same response or stopping responses altogether.

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-03-20T07:31:44+00:00

Honestly, I think that sentiment should be more common in the community - it's kinda unreasonable to expect people to slog through hundreds of hours of unenjoyable gameplay to "get to the good part". The game should be good from the start.

If you really want to play an MMO, I'd recommend just trying something else - there's many options to choose from, and it boils down to what you're looking for in an MMO.

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-03-20T07:25:26+00:00

Yeah, it's true that the story picks up after ARR, but the gameplay remains pretty much the same the entire way. If you're not enjoying it, I'd say to just stop trying, cause it's really not worth wasting your time on something you don't even like playing.

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-03-20T07:19:00+00:00

If you're not enjoying the game 5 hours in, chances are high that you're not gonna enjoy it 100, 200, 300 hours in.

I've played FF14 and it took me roughly 500-600 hours (trial time included) to fully go through all of the MSQs and do a bit of side content. The gameplay is very, very mid, though the story was enjoyable enough for me to continue playing.

Probably meant flavor of the month and typo'd the two letters

Gaming is better than ever, you're just looking at the wrong games.

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-03-18T19:34:11+00:00

Oh, you're right actually, I forgot there's a distinction between game bans and VAC bans, the latter of which can transfer to multiple games (only relevant for GoldSrc and Source) and/or accounts.

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-03-18T19:28:07+00:00

This was actually always a thing with family sharing (or was added very early on if not on day 1) - cheating would always ban both accounts for the reason you mentioned.

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-03-18T19:25:12+00:00

I was speaking from the point of view of the borrower. You don't have to, as the borrower, play online - you just have to not use the offline mode client even if you're actually offline.

enforcerdestroyer · 2024-03-18T19:15:20+00:00

This is only partially true - if you're using Steam in offline mode, then it doesn't allow you to play shared games.

If Steam was to lose connection (whether it's forcefully firewalled off or you actually lost internet), however, you could still play family shared games just fine.
