The most recent Journey to the West video game adaptation as of this writing is Black Myth: Wukong , which provides an alternate epilogue to the tale. Here, Wukong rejects the offer of immortality after his pilgrimage and is punished by Heaven for doing so by being sealed in stone. Since then, monkeys from Mount Huaguo have ventured out to try to revive him by collecting the 6 Relics he divided his spirit into. The latest one, armed with a staff like Wukong, is known only as The Destined
Beefy file sizes seem to be commonplace in the video game industry now , outside of small, stylized indie titles that go for a largely 2D aesthetic. Black Myth: Wukong is certainly not one of these games, and its realistic style and grand vistas require a lot of space to work. With most games released recently, this space also has to be stored in an SSD, which is, fortunately, more common now, but Black Myth: Wukong 's requirement of 130GB (according to its Steam page) is a lot to ask for a relatively linear g
Black Myth: Wukong 's size of 130GB (or 128.68 GB to be precise) on Steam and 104GB on PS5 may be beefy, but it is hardly uncommon now. Two massive releases from last year are comparable in size: Starfield, at an impressive 125GB on Steam, and Baldur's Gate 3 , at a hefty 150GB on Steam, but these two titles are open-world adventures that can take over one hundred hours. Black Myth: Wukong is more linear, taking anywhere from 30–35 hours to beat , showing how much extra room the incredible graphics and massive scale of visuals requ
With large SSD hard drives being cheaper than ever, it isn't the worst time for game file sizes to be beefier than a cow, but if every AAA game coming out is over 100GB in size, it will be difficult to have much of a library of downloaded games if players aren't into the indie scene. A 1TB SSD might not even get players ten downloaded games now, especially on a PC where file sizes tend to be larger for extra graphics settings, and that's ignoring the later updates that come with many tit
To unlock Sanzang in WO3 , players follow the monkey-ish Hideyoshi Toyotomi and pig-like buffoon, Goemon, as they search for treasure. Instead, they get Sanzang, who aids them against the demonic hordes. Their arguing and clumsy scheming even reminds her of her old adventures with Bajie and Wukong. Nezha also makes his playable debut, though he originally came from an older story before turning up in Journey to the W
Black Myth: Wukong is part of a new age of games that are developed in the impressively powerful Unreal Engine graphics enhancement Engine 5 , and the title makes full use of the engine's new features. The lighting is some of the best that can be found, the models make use of the greater polygon counts available in UE5, and the particle effects with every strike of Wukong's staff look amazing, yet something needs to be sacrificed in order to make all this possible. Yes, a high-end PC is required to run the game, but so is 130GB of sp
With half the set outfitted, players gain considerable Damage Reduction for a short time, upon De-Transformation and exiting their Spirit state . With the Greaves' Unique Effect, doing so also negates the cost of Stamina of all actions for a brief moment to fol
SonSon and Mega Man: The Wily Wars are good for references, but what if players wanted to experience the actual novel in a video game format? Later games managed this with some artistic license, though some old school games did try to cram the novel into an NES cartridge or an arcade board, to varying degrees of succ
During this phase, he will start disappearing and launching attacks from stealth. When he reappears rushing at you with his hand glowing, roll to the side to avoid the burst of spikes he'll conjure and then dodge again as he performs two wide sweeping attacks a moment later. If he reappears as he leaps into the air towards you, roll to the side to avoid his vertical swing and then do it again as he returns from the opposite direction. If he appears flying towards you with one foot raised, he's going for a stomp attack, so dodge to either side and attack after he stomps down.
While the Centipede Armor Pieces are more build-specific, specifically for those who want to experience a Poison build, it is one of the best Armor sets in Black Myth: Wukong , and well worth crafting. By equipping half the set, aside from the general Poison Resistance provided, you will receive a huge reduction in the damage-over-time status effect from Pois
Furthermore, if you manage to craft the entire Armor set, you will also gain a 4-Piece Effect, which grants you a small amount of Qi upon Critical Hits as well as defeats . Qi is used to initiate Spirit Skills, and so this bonus will improve your use of the special features of this Ar
As you journey through Yellow Wind Ridge in Black Myth: Wukong , one name comes up frequently: Yellow Wind Sage. They appear frequently in enemy lore and dialog as you make your way through this chapter, building them up as a powerful sage who can command the wind and terrifies many of their subordinates. Sure enough, when you finally make it to the huge whirlwind at the heart of Yellow Wind Ridge, you'll find the sage just as powerful and dangerous as advertised.
