Black Myth: Wukong Looks Amazing, But Its Graphics Have A Major Problem

Black Myth: Wukong Looks Amazing, But Its Graphics Have A Major Problem

Still, comparing Black Myth: Wukong to two of the biggest titles ever made (in terms of world size and how long they take to beat) isn't the fairest comparison, especially because it is considerably more efficient than other titles over 100GB in size . For instance, Call of Duty: Warzones is terribly inefficient with its file size, considering that it is 125GB on Steam. EA Sports FC 25 is another title that asks too much for its file size, coming in at 100GB when the title used to be 50GB in 2

Ring of Fire , as the name suggests, creates an (unfortunately quite small) ring of fire around The Destined One and grants him a few perks when he's standing inside. The main issue is that enemies can still enter the ring and still damage you. You, of course, get to enjoy the buffs when you're in the ring, but because of how frantic combat is in Black Myth: Wukong, there are few opportunities where you'll be in a position where you can stand still long enough to actually appreciate this. There are some niche chances where this skill might be the best option, but it's not worth keeping this spell equipped to find these rare mome

Efficiency could be the issue here, with game developers doing everything to make their games look as good as possible without trying to get more out of smaller file sizes. Yes, the graphical fidelity that developers can produce will require more hard drive space , but games always tend to have bits of unused content left behind. This cut content is usually found when scouring the game files and can give many players an idea of how a title could have turned out, but they also can take up valuable storage space depending on the g

With large SSD hard drives being cheaper than ever, it isn't the worst time for game file sizes to be beefier than a cow, but if every AAA game coming out is over 100GB in size, it will be difficult to have much of a library of downloaded games if players aren't into the indie scene. A 1TB SSD might not even get players ten downloaded games now, especially on a PC where file sizes tend to be larger for extra graphics settings, and that's ignoring the later updates that come with many tit

Black Myth: Wukong has captured gamers' attention since its reveal four years ago. All the released footage looked impressive, which led some players to doubt whether the actual game could live up to the hype. Despite being the debut title from Chinese folklore video Game developer Game Science, Black Myth: Wukong delivered exactly as promised. Players are impressed with standout features such as top-notch graphics powered by Unreal Engine 5, fast-paced and varied combat, and well-crafted boss fights with little to no repetit

There are quite a few items and buffs to unlock that make these duplicates more powerful, which means you can commit a fair portion of your build into making these soldiers borderline unbeatable, but the main trade-off for the power of this ability is its high Mana cost. This means it can be fantastic for shorter bosses or even standard enemy encounters, but in longer boss fights, you might need to focus more on saving Mana for other abilit

Literally popping in and out of the early moments of this game 's massive story, Keeper of the Black Wind Mountain is always happy to lend our hero a helping hand with his signature Sagittarius enthusi

Part of the reason why Cloud Step is so useful is that you can drink from your gourd and use any medicine and even some other spells, all while the enemy has their eyes set on your decoy. This spell also doesn't cost much Mana, making it low-commitment as w

Regardless of the set bonus, this enhancement is extremely useful in tough encounters, especially if your Gourds in Black Myth: Wukong have been used up. Moreover, if you're standing in water, this effect is further enhanc

While the Centipede Armor Pieces are more build-specific, specifically for those who want to experience a Poison build, it is one of the best Armor sets in Black Myth: Wukong , and well worth crafting. By equipping half the set, aside from the general Poison Resistance provided, you will receive a huge reduction in the damage-over-time status effect from Pois

Beefy file sizes seem to be commonplace in the video game industry now , outside of small, stylized indie titles that go for a largely 2D aesthetic. Black Myth: Wukong is certainly not one of these games, and its realistic style and grand vistas require a lot of space to work. With most games released recently, this space also has to be stored in an SSD, which is, fortunately, more common now, but Black Myth: Wukong 's requirement of 130GB (according to its Steam page) is a lot to ask for a relatively linear g

These are but a few examples of games asking for over a tenth of a 1TB SSD, which should be a lot of storage, but with the way that gaming is going, file sizes are only going to increase . This seems to be a sacrifice needed for the new era of gaming engines and the graphical fidelity that they now come with. Players are getting spoiled with path tracing, high-poly models, and 4K textures, but will have to spend most of the day hogging the internet to download this new era of games, especially if their internet isn't spectacu
