    Sun Wukong is not any Chinese mythology, he’s hugely popular. This is like Star War or Lord of the Ring getting the first AAA game ever.

      Kinda diff. It’s just an influential Chinese story - well known in the country.

      The Sun Wukong (Chinese: 孫悟空, pronounced [swə́n ûkʰʊ́ŋ]) is a literary and religious figure best known as one of the main characters in the 16th-century Chinese novel Journey to the West.[1]

      I’m not knowledgeable enough about Chinese mythology (popular or not) to be able to comment on that, but it does seem to be very under-explored as a genre; it’s neat that it’s getting a spotlight. I don’t have strong feelings one way or the other about the game personally, but it’s always cool to see a studio try something new - even if it’s only new in theming - and be successful with it. I’d much rather Wukong be wildly successful than another Call of Duty game or whatever.

        And a ton of other games

        MONKEY KING: HERO IS BACK

        Was published by Sony/THQ 5 years ago, I would say that fits AAA a lot more than this indie game

          Monkey King: Hero Is Back made 153 million dollars. Warframe is 11 years old, and currently has an annual revenue higher than 153 million. Warframe is the bigger game.

      Judging by your incredibly broken English, you may be biased.

          That diversion, a weak argument tactic.

            What’s even your point here? You’re suggesting the person you’re originally replying to is part of the demographic that seems to enjoy a game, so their enjoyment of that game is cheapened in some way? If anything that makes them more qualified to talk about it than you are.

            Seriously, just let people enjoy things.

      “Star War”, “Lord of the Ring”

      Seriously?

      Also your first sentence makes no sense. I think you tried to say “Sun Wykong is not just any random Chinese mythology, it’s a hugely popular one.”
