So, one mother fucker gave it a 3/5 for "a lack of diversity." lol

 

Congratulations for falling for a disinformation campaign hook, line, and sinker because this is the review being refenced and I dare you to find single instance of the phrase "lack of diversity".

A Journey to the West, or a stuttering halt?

Female reviewer who mentions the toxic sexist workplace in review gets targeted by rage bait trolls. This all checks out. 🤔

 While my analysis and review of Black Myth: Wukong remain focused on gameplay, it's important to mention the controversies surrounding the game's studio and the reports of misogyny and sexism from developers. Playing as a female gamer allowed me to notice issues surrounding inclusion and representation.

 

As far as Chapters 1 and 2, while characters are clearly fictitious and fantastical creatures, there were no female or feminine NPCs, enemies, or bosses present. The only exception, if you can call it 'female', is a boss named Mother of Stones in Chapter 2, which is nothing more than a still, glowing rock with no abilities, being guarded by other enemies.

 

The lack of diversity and inclusivity resonates with the misogynistic comments reported to have been made by developers, which expressed disdain for women playing their games. Although Black Myth: Wukong does have truly enjoyable moments, the underlying feeling that women aren't welcome in this world felt present throughout my gameplay experience.

 

It's worth noting the game is based on the novel, Journey To The West, which does consist of a few important female characters. To not include any women or to only include a few in an adaptation meant for a modern audience is quite disconcerting.

 

While this doesn't take away from the exhilaration and fun of boss fights themselves, women fans of soulslike games may have a different perspective, especially given that, according to reports, the developer also suggested that women aren't capable of enjoying or being skilled at these types of games.

 

Eat shit.

Seems like a valid criticism.

You can say that, sure. But don't come at me assuming some dumb shit with the wrong article and then say "I dare you"

I mean, I too want diversity and inclusivity in a game about bipedal animal people. Where are all the mormon bear people?

Best part about the game: I get to kill furries

Worst part about the game: I play as a furry

Actual worst part about the game: no HMOFA porn will come out of it

I think this looks stunning imo

Maybe it will look better when I actually play it, but I have yet to be impressed by UE5. That said, I have only ever seen UE5 games on streams and on YouTube. I've never played a UE5 game outside of the Benchmark.

UE5 is quite impressive when actually playing games imo - I think you hate geometry pop-in - getting rid of that is one of the defining features

I just googled it and the game is apparently told over 6 chapters, yet she only played 2 of them and is making assertions on what is and is not included in the whole game? 
 

yeah that really does read like rage bait. Lazy, Anita Sarkeesian, levels of rage baiting. lol

On the other hand the brigade against her, posting her picture and saying, "praise china screw LGBTQ" is also not a great look. I wonder which one is worse. 🤔
