Guy is former editor-in-chief of IGN China, guy was with Game Science all the time during TGA.



Asmongold's clip editor has fucking a fucking zillion better journalism ethics than any of those press jokers out there.

 

[Toons]

Too little too late, that's going to be the going narrative for a lot of easily manipulated idiots.

We are entering a very dangerous time for misinformation especially with "ai translation" BS

 

[DeepEnigma]

Can't care less about this silly drama, so here's a cute little lamb

 

[LectureMaster]

Black Myth Wukong the game per se has absolutely nothing controversial. Every time a drama came up, it was always the fucking joker western gaming sites that knew shit about Chinese context and took Google translate literally. Pathetic.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

I love how video game industry people rag on peers in the industry.

Gamers say gaming doesn't have a lot innovation.

Maybe not in the games, but how many industries can you name where the people are constantly trolling or arguing with other people or bosses or customers on social media?

Innovation at its finest in my books!

 

[Killjoy-NL]

Lol I swear, the only times I see anything about all these petty dramas, is when I log into Gaf.

And like always, it's another non-issue.


Also, who actually listens to whatever Alanah Pierce says?

 

[duck_sauce]

A non-Issue exaggerated for clickbait and hidden agendas

 

[SweetTooth]

This is just pathetic, will never understand these people thought process.

You hate China for some reason that means anything China is PURE evil!

Wukong was a great game. Those devs deserves to be recognized and applauded for their work isolated from your views about their country or alliances.

Can confirm this.

Yeah the same western woke showing the kind of racism they claims to championed against

 

[Black_Stride]

Crying because they didnt win an award.......literal crying.
Bitch please you do know this shit was broadcast right?
It wouldnt be hard to verify?

I raise you Meerkats eating Yoghurt.

 

[Thief1987]

Most of the times these things are equal, feels like in this case too

 

[{insert code here}]

It's so bizarre that this chick would make up something so regarded about the Wukong devs. I mean the entire show was live FFS what exactly was she thinking was going to happen

All I remember was this game was shown a long time ago and there were rumours it was vapourware.

It has crazy art style from Chinese culture which is unique to all of us (maybe in China it's more common in games). Not my kind of game but it looks cool.

What were the western gaming sites ragging about it?

 

[Cakeboxer]

What a stupid and unnessecary drama. But Asmongold is actually right. Black Myth Wukong won the only category that matters.

 

[Skifi28]

Still no boob pics?

Bot competition?

Bot competition?

If you say so. Steam Awards>>>>>>>>>>>>>>readers choice>>>>some "experts"

 

[Avid Reading Horse]

Also, who actually listens to whatever Alanah Pierce says?

Hey now, I watch all of her videos.

I mean on mute, but still!

 

[Black_Stride]

Players Voice is the most important category?

Did you see the nominees?

• Black Myth: Wukong – Game Science ‡
• Genshin Impact – miHoYo
• Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree – FromSoftware / Bandai Namco Entertainment
• Wuthering Waves – Kuro Games
• Zenless Zone Zero – miHoYo

Notice anything?
Im surprised PGR wasnt there instead of Elden Ring.

Many asian people in the world = many asian games nominated. Not surprising.

 

[elbourreau]

I am not an Alanah hater, but she is looking hard for some attention during those few days...

She is plotting something : the moment she has enough attention / drama / spotlight, she will announce something in wich she asks for funds (and no, it will not be an OF, you perv... XD).

MMW

Utterly worthless award.

 

[consoul]

I understand why gaf talks about Alanah. I don't understand the same for Asmongold.

 

[Cakeboxer]

Utterly worthless award.

So is any award. Only your own pick matters. But i rather respect player's choice instead of some "experts". For the same reason i think the Oscars are a joke and the movie with the most viewers shuld win instead, because that's the people's choice.

Popular doesn't mean good. And in most of the cases it's actually opposite because most of the people don't have any taste. This case isn't exception, only absolutely tasteless person can choose something like wukong as goty

Sure sure Chinas Players Choice.
These were the top 5 games of 2024?

• Black Myth: Wukong – Game Science ‡
• Genshin Impact – miHoYo
• Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree – FromSoftware / Bandai Namco Entertainment
• Wuthering Waves – Kuro Games
• Zenless Zone Zero – miHoYo

Kill me now if true.




<---Religiously plays Genshin impact...............which came out in 2020.
It was only allowed on the list because of the Xbox release......you really think there was enough Xbox players to get Genshin Impact Xbox Edition into the top 5 best games of 2024?

 

[Cakeboxer]

There is no such thing as objectively good or bad when it comes to art. The amount of people liking/consuming something decide what's best.

 

[roosnam1980]

im also crying for real.....

hold me alanah.................

If you were genuinely asking I guess you really didn't follow, it was a big fuss.

How Black Myth: Wukong Developer’s History of Sexism Is Complicating its Journey to the West - IGN

For an indie studio that has only released mobile titles within China, this widespread acclaim over Black Myth: Wukong is a largely unprecedented feat, particularly for a game that has not been released yet. But beneath the luster of this souls-like, Game Science is plagued by claims of sexism.

www.ign.com

 

[Killjoy-NL]

(and no, it will not be an OF, you perv... XD).

She's far too used to all the male attention she has gotten so far, OF is practically a no-brainer.

It's probably also the only option left for her in that regard.

 

[FunkMiller]

Said it before, I'll say it again. Alanah really needs to get away from a bunch of west coast American fucktards, and back to some good old down to earth Aussie cunts.

Also, LOOK AT HOW ROCKING THIS FUCKING PIG IS.

 

[Chechack]

Ah yes as usual

Look back at previous thread and see gow many shitloads believed her word as gospel and jumped in to dissed wukong devs

Pathetic

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[ahtlas7]

I don't care if dude did cry about it. It's an emotional thing for those who value The Imax awards.

 

[peek]

im also crying for real.....

hold me alanah.................

FINALLY, guys... it shouldnt take THAT many posts. Do better. Had to scroll for ages.

[lh032]

but what about the GOTY script written 2 years ago?

 

[PauloRoberto]

Let's put into this way... even you know that anything you will write will be minstranslated and still write 'cheeky jokes'... Im sorry, you ARE fueling this flame war.

 

[GymWolf]

She doesn't work with santa monica anymore but she still write about imaginary things uh?!

 

[Interfectum]

More pics please, hurry!

 

[GrayChild]

People still follow Alanah for her gaming-related commentary?

I dunno man...

I mean she's doing a fine job...

But I also feel there are better examples of people covering videogames.

But that's just my (highly subjective) opinion.

 

[Ozriel]

This is just pathetic, will never understand these people thought process.

Wukong was a great game. Those devs deserves to be recognized and applauded for their work isolated from your views about their country or alliances.

They got a GOTY nomination at the TGAs. Reviews were near unanimously positive. Where do you get the idea that the Wukong devs weren't applauded and recognized for their work?

 

[ProtoByte]

Not really sure who to believe here.
For whatever reason, I think someone that works at IGN is probably not a credible source when it comes to bad/embarrassing things related to a state-funded Chinese game company of import.

I have no admiration of fondness for Pearce, but it's hard to believe she would just make this up. In fact. if you'd told me that she was trying to sweep on behalf of state-funded Chinese, I'd be more likely to believe you.

But then, it is an absurd story. Placing that much import on the AMERICAN TGA despite winning other awards and making all of the money? And then to actually believe that Wukong was going to win?

 

[Sebastian1295]

This woman always posts videos or comments acting like what she's saying is the most mind-blowing thing in the entire world when in reality what she's saying requires no thought at all because it's been said 900 times over. She's completely unoriginal.
