Am I about to spend a buttload of money for this one game…?
Three games came out on the same day this week, two were super woke and bombed spectacularly right out of the gate, and then there’s this new astonishing-looking game out of China that has already sold 10 million copies.
I know most of you don’t play games, so I won’t go on about the first two, although it’s pretty fun to watch someone else play Dustborn. Billed by its creators as the wokest game ever. If you can’t get enough of weak white men, sassy black women and fats, here’s seventeen hours of gameplay. You go, girl!
The Chinese game, though, is stunning. It’s based on the 16th Century Chinese Novel Journey to the West and apparently it’s nothing but a love letter to the source material. Watch the trailer for a taste.
I know, I know…the Chicoms. But game.
They released a free demo so you could test your computer’s ability to run the game. Mine passed the test just fine even though it’s five years old.
And then some bright spark got the idea to try the benchmark with that VR plugin – it only works with games that are built with this one engine, and Wukong qualifies. And it works! It works! On my computer, if I turn the graphics all the way down to crayon, it runs.
Like ass.
I have a sneaking feeling a new graphics card is in my future. Do you know what they cost these days? Oof!
It’s the start of a long weekend. Then there isn’t another three-day weekend in Britain until Christmas. Don’t worry – I make Uncle B celebrate Thanksgiving. I don’t have to push too hard. You have a good one!
