I wonder if some people actually watch the trailer or just post the first bullshit about China saved as draft. Some posts are quite something.
Your prejudices and silly politics speaking here. Sorry dude, show me ONE SINGLE GAME that is not based on a previous work. This claim is wild, besides illiterate. "Slave labor" lmao, what the fuck are you even talking about.
Death stranding. name one other game like it.
Breath of the wild, besides ubisoft towers it's wholly unique.
outer wilds.

like these are just games off the top of my head.
all regions and developers have taken and created their own things with their own flares which is what makes gaming fun.
but i haven't seen China do that yet and it's got nothing to do with politics. Sometimes you can just see how things are and not be a "racist" or "sexist" or whatever ist or phobe you want to imply.
Chinese cars are just European cars with a new logo, Chinese phones are just Korean phones with a new label, Chinese clothes and brands are just International brands with a new label.
and so far the games they have put out have been the same. Now like i have said before when they release their shadow of the colossus or their Tomb Raider etc, then i'll give them attention. But as of now it's just a copy factory.
Wukong stands on its own. Such a legit boss ass game.
Hundreds of unique bosses, incredible graphics, God of War level production values, Art style that goes toe to toe with the best of FromSoft, amazing combat, unique and original Chinese mythology story..
I HATE Soulslikes and all From games, if this felt anything like those games, I would hate it too. But it feels completely different. Not similar at all to Dark Souls..
Lies of P, Lords of Fallen, etc.. Those are what I consider Souls clones... Not Wukong.
I understand what you're saying/. But I'm willing to give these Chinese studios a pass, because for many of them, it's literally their first try at an AAA game.. If they are pumping out this quality on their first try.. The future is blindingly bright.
No one says you aren't allowed to like the game.
it's still just a clone that lacks the X factor. Some people are ok with that like you are, to me it's just slop with UE5 megascans.
I mean the fact that you hate from games and love Wukong is showing a clear bias. Of course you wouldnt see it as a clone if you hate what it is ripping off almost verbatim.
wukong is as much a souls clone as Lies of P or any other game in the same vein.
I am not willing to give clones a pass personally. I want originality and inventiveness, not just a thing I have played before with a new skin, it's why I hate most modern AAA western games too, because they have become the same.
