Hello everyone, this is Zhengjing Game, I am Zhengjing who loves to eat melons.

Four years of waiting, facing destiny.

Black Myth: Wukong will be released today (August 20) at 10 am. Are you ready to go back to the journey to the West? It doesn’t matter if you are not ready. Let’s take a look at the 81 difficulties that the game experienced before the release of Black Myth: Wukong.


A stupid netizen made a learning version of "Black Myth", but it was sold on a second-hand trading platform

When the pre-sale of "Black Myth: Wukong" was launched, there were rumors that some uncles had cracked versions of the game. Some netizens took advantage of this wave of popularity and made a learning version that could play the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" and released it for game novices to download.


What's outrageous is that after this learning version that automatically plays the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" was circulated, it was actually included in some pirated game websites.

Therefore, adhering to the principle of watching the fun while making trouble, netizens rushed to make a learning version of 2.0 overnight. The biggest difference is that the folder size is compressed, and after the uninstall program is started, it will automatically download "Genshin Impact" for the victim to start, which is very heartwarming and considerate.


Although this learning version incident was quite funny, it also allowed many people to see the popularity behind this game. So after the UP host tried to make the same combat demo as "Black Myth: Wukong", it was put on a second-hand trading platform for sale the next day, and quite a few copies were sold.


Fortunately, after being reported by netizens, the store was eventually reported and removed from the shelves. I just don’t know whether the players who have already purchased the product have successfully applied for a refund?

Everyone gets a deluxe edition! Domestic publishers make an exception and take a holiday

When World of Warcraft returned to China, many company employees posted holiday notices. Coincidentally, when Black Myth: Wukong was launched, many people also received vacations.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is that Gamera Game, the publisher of domestic games such as "Fireworks" and "Dyson Sphere Program", announced that it will take a day off on August 20 and give all employees a deluxe version of "Black Myth: Wukong"!


I can only say that I am extremely envious. What is this other people's company? Not only is it a holiday, but they also give away a free deluxe version. I really hope my boss can see this news.

Director Ao criticized the poor optimization of "Black Myth", but was later slapped in the face by the beta version

I don’t know if it’s because he was born with a monkey in his destiny, or if his horoscope is incompatible with primates, but Director Ao, who lost countless fans because of his praise for “The Return of the Great Sage”, suffered another setback when he gave a sharp review of “Black Myth: Wukong”.

In early August, Director Ao appeared in person on a short video platform and confidently said that the final trailer of "Black Myth: Wukong" was great, but it was not far from failure. The reason is that this game is the first big production to use the Unreal Engine 5, and the expectations of the domestic fan base are extremely high, so it is easy to fail due to optimization problems.


However, within a few days, Youke released the performance test tool for Black Myth: Wukong. After testing, many netizens found that the game could run at 60 FPS with normal configuration, and they began to "liquidate" Director Ao's sharp comment:

—Clown

—I feel not as good as The Return of the Great Sage

—1060 can run at 50 FPS, so this needs to be optimized, right?

To be honest, I suggest that Director Ao should not touch any monkey-themed games in the future. They are really a disaster if played. I don’t know how much popularity and fan attention the former gaming blogger with millions of followers can retain under this wave of impact.



Magical battle! Chinese netizens drop in to give negative reviews to God of War

When the ban on media ratings for Black Myth: Wukong was lifted, some Western media gave reviews that were "arrogant" and "stingy," saying that the game had too many Chinese characters, too few female characters, not enough species diversity, and that one needed to understand Journey to the West in advance... In short, they just wanted to nitpick on the details and deduct points, which made many Chinese players unhappy.


As a result, angry Chinese netizens followed the evaluation logic of these foreign media and gave bad reviews to the 3A masterpieces that the foreign media considered to have full marks.

Among them, as a representative of Western mythology games, "God of War" had a negative review volume comparable to "Three Kingdoms" in one day:

- Only Traditional Chinese, unclear cultural background, no female characters, no Chinese dubbing, unclear content, bad review

- The plot is incomprehensible, and the localization is a headache. I can only give it 8 points

-Too many male bosses, lack of diverse roles, not even worthy of an annual nomination




By the way, not to mention Chinese players, even some foreign netizens think that these review agencies are unreliable and unprofessional. Someone even made a meme of the black protagonist of "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" VS the monkey of "Black Myth: Wukong" to mock these review agencies and game manufacturers for tampering with history in pursuit of diversity.


So everyone should just have fun. Who among those who really play games would read reviews, right?

Speak up for women! The business of proxy-generating negative reviews for Black Myth is booming

In July, due to the heavy blows launched by some female boxers against "Black Myth: Wukong", a "Black Myth ghostwriting bad reviews" business was popular on a second-hand platform for a while, with prices ranging from 30 yuan to 268 yuan, and most of them were phishing transaction posts by netizens.


But what was unexpected was that before many netizens caught much fish, some organizations specializing in Steam reviews discovered this business opportunity and took advantage of it to expand the business of "Black Myth ghostwriting bad reviews" a lot, until it became a hot search in early August, attracting another group of stupid netizens to eat melons:

—The Monkey King hasn’t even been officially released yet, but the monsters are already getting restless

—Aren’t these water armies the target of severe crackdowns? The relevant departments should conduct strict investigations

—Where there is demand, there is a market


Coincidentally, someone on Tieba also revealed that their company had taken on the negative reviews of "Black Myth: Wukong" and the water army business of major live broadcast platforms, and vowed to ruin Youke's reputation on the first day of the game's release.


All I can say is that there are too many evil spirits and monsters on the journey to obtain the scriptures. Now it depends on whether the Great Sage can turn the world upside down with one blow.

I have something to say:To obtain the true scriptures, one must first overcome 81 difficulties. This is not just talk. Since the first trailer of Black Myth: Wukong was officially released, it has been suppressed by Western media and condemned by some domestic organizations. It is quite difficult. Now that the game is finally officially launched, it depends on how players rate it.


A surprising question:How would you rate Black Myth: Wukong?
