I didn't realize there was an argument going on about this game but from what I've seen, the game looks very interesting as a fan of asian culture, you know, samurais and all that. The whole Monkey King thing is cool. Watching the combat I don't completely get "Souls" from it and I read somewhere that they don't have the XP loss mechanic that souls games have. Haven't reach much outside of that but if it's a "boss rush" game that isn't a good or bad thing. It's going to come down to how fun that combat loop is and leveling up. Armored Core was received with high praise and is a boss rush game.

It’s not, there’s tons of regular enemies and exploration. Don’t listen to bramble mountain king

Yup, i think “boss rush” is more interesting than uninspired attempts at Dark Souls type level design.

I think i read there’s like 80 bosses or something like that.

If the bosses are unique and varied and the combat stays fresh this game can be VERY good.

This is projection from you weirdos i have not said anything bad about the game.

Yet for whatever reason yall already in stan mode so we can’t actually talk about the game.

Every preview out there has talked about how the game is more akin to a boss rush style game than a souls style game.



This is how the press is describing it based on what they’ve played.

I ain’t making it up. If the press is wrong than so be it, but at this point we can only talk about what’s been presented.

Y’all wanna claim i’m the one “stanning” when @Gizmo_Duck clearly came in here making up lies trying to set the narrative about the game opposite of the actual preview info we have.

It ain’t me

Nah, u stanning.
It's a multiplat game, stand down soldier.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Don’t listen to bramble mountain king

Or literally every preview of the game.

You are better off listening to “Silentobserver” from resetera cause he’s watched videos of the game and come to different conclusions

Too late, he’s activiated, its a sony game

 

[MeachTheMonster]

Previews:This is a boss rush style game.

Me: Boss rush could be a good thing

Sony stan’s: Press is lying, meach is stanning, random cac from resetera has it all figured out.

Sony nikkas crazy

To be fair to him every preview has literally labelled it as such. What he said is valid, and just to balance things out and to further elaborate on that. Despite the previews calling it a boss rush type game they did mention that there could be more to the game. What they experienced though was literally boss fights upon boss fights with little to no other contents between.

[Gizmo_Duck]

I am not disagreeing with you, what I am saying is that what has been presented so far is literally a boss rush type of game. As per what you posted even the individual queried as to why the devs have done that. We can only go by what has been presented, when reviews hit we will have further clarity as to what the game contains.

Either way, it's already paid for.
We'll get to the specifics once it drops.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

This game and Dragonball are inspired by this old Japan folk story called Journey to the West. It's a story about a monkey king that has a stretching staff as a weapon.

Hell there was one game with Sun Wukong where they actually got Sean Schemmel, Goku's English voice actor, to play him

From someone that played the game:








TLDR; game is pretty open, a lot of regular enemies and exploration. A lot of collectables, NPC’s and even sidequest to do. More similar to GOW
