To us it would certainly seem sketchy. The Chinese - and indeed most of Asia - could not give shit.
Black Myth: Wukong gameplay; I don't get the hype?

I'm aware that racist term. So don't treat me like a fucking imbecile. I am black, remember? But once again, believe whatever you want about this game. You do realize Journey to the West had been around for over a 1000 years right? You are one the pointing out racism that is not even close to there.
I love this show but bear in mind this is the dub, it was the 70s and Cocaine was a thing.
Okay, simmer down. I'm just screwing around. I don't really think the game is racist or doing cultural appropriation. And yes, I know the history of Journey to the West, I've read a translation of it myself.
I don't have the ethnicities of all the members on the Escapist memorized, either. It's not like it's listed on the profile.
Please don't ever do that again. I had to deal with shit like that sometimes on the IMDB forums.
Now you know.
I can't make any promises. Sometimes I like to make outrageous claims as fact, and if someone takes it seriously, well you gotta roll with it.
I'm not sure if you're trolling but if not wao, just wao. And no I'm not assuming, it's an educated guess, the other guy who speaks Cantonese here clarified and he agreed with me. If you don't speak either Cantonese or Japanese you're the one assuming here. We're inferring.
Also Wukong is baddass so even if he's a monkey in my book it's still a compliment to be described to be akin to him either way. So yeah, doubly wrong.
I don't need to speak Cantonese, I can speak subtext and, let me assure you, it's there my friend.
Dude, stop, you're making me laugh at work, it's gonna get me in trouble if you keep this up.

@Drathnoxis picked a bad time to do this last night. I got enough crap going on so that's why I didn't notice. plus like I said before, I had to deal with shit like that where people were 100% serious on IMDb forums.
I feel like people are(or were, are people still banging on about this?) making an extra fuss just because it's coming from somewhere relatively unusual. China hasn't really been a place where these sorta massive high budget first party titles come from. Which is slightly odd really considering a lot of creative-industry work does get outsourced there, and we have companies like 10cent with massive global reach. But it's gotta happen eventually. And heck, Genshin Impact was all the bloody rage for a while and that's a Chinese thing. They've been making plenty of headway in the mobile gaming space too.
Anyway people don't really kick up a fuss when a random European country releases a game so I really can't be fucked to give this an extra fuss. I think I'd like a more accurate portrayal of Journey to the West(as opposed to something nonsensical like Enslaved: Odyssey to the West), and it'd be nice that someone's giving it a good shake no matter which country it comes from.
But it's still too early, and there's been too many trailers and early footage that are completely unindicative of the final product anyway. I'll care about it when it comes out, is in a language I understand and is accessible enough for me to play it. I don't think it really deserves any special attention in particular.
I can see the appeal; people love Journey to the West. I am not in to Souls style combat, but it's clearly taking more from Ni-Oh though. I still would have preferred a more traditional action game a la DMC or God of War.
What attention. I've literally never seen anyone talking about this game ever. Not on Ign, Gamespot, Kotaku, Polygon, nowhere, who is talking about this thing?
When the first trailers came out anyway, just about every gaming journalism outlet had an article about it and a lot of youtubers were reacting to it. I think it's died down a lot since then, but it definitely had a somewhat abnormal amount of buzz for a time.
