Black Myth Wukong, Phantom Blade Zero and later this month Wuchang Fallen Dynasty

Is dynasty warriors considered Wuxia?

>>714368363
what's actually the difference?
one has more dragons and less bandits or what?

>>714368514
Oh right I actually have heard of those games. Didn't know they were wuxia. Or soulslike...

>>714369001
xianxia = fantasy
wuxia = martial arts

>>714369212
Actually, if OP is being rigid, then my bad. They aren't wuxia, as per >>714369263

>>714368527
Pretty much yeah. Like say, KCD is an adventure game, while Elder Scrolls is a fantasy adventure game.

>>714363509 (OP)
I have a fetish for characters that look exactly like this. Kimono-wearing Asian girls with long, dark hair and big boobs. I cannot get enough of them.

>>714369734
That's a xianxia male t h o

>>714369838
Xianxia males have boobies?

>>714369908
Yes, meanwhile Wuxia males like Dongfang Bubai have their dicks chopped off.

>>714369908

>>714369001
>>714369263
This is not really true. It's more about powerlevels.
>Wuxia
People fighting and if they're really strong they might be able to cut through a rock.
>Xianxia
People fighting and flying if they're really strong they can create alternate dimensions and cut through planets.

Usually fantasy is closer to Xuanhuan

>>714371686
>People fighting and if they're really strong they might be able to cut through a rock.
sounds weirdly mundane for vidya
something like Sifu I guess?

>>714369734
You will love Wuchang then

The strict definition of Wuxia are the novels by Louis Cha and other works, including those written by others, adjacent to it. But the Chinese won't tell you this because Jin Yong's novels are littered with his anti-CCP commentary and allegories.

>>714363509 (OP)

>>714368527
I'd say not, just because all wuxia i have seen was about small scale conflicts between a few people in a larger theme of rebels vs the government, like robin hood in china

Dynasty Warriors is a whole epic war story like the illiad

Whats the best cultivation game where only the strong ruthless and cunning are respected and the rest are just frogs in a well who did not have the qualifications to look at swans and missed the mt tai in front of them, and didn't scram quickly enough once senior told them to scram, so they suddenly coughed blood, had their pupils go pinpoint, and revealed a terrified expression, because they courted death?

for pure pvp gameplay, naraka. but sadly, it's got big problems too.

>>714363509 (OP)
is that a doll?

>>714384318
A sex doll yes

>>714381359
Is this your OC? She looks good. Also, Naraka is pure trash and filled with cheaters sadly

>>714385224
oh, LINK NOW

>>714368315
this one

>>714385224
>Is this your OC?
it's the base character. i don't really bother customizing since they look good enough without slider autism on my part.
>Naraka is pure trash
gameplay wise? hell no. it's one of the most interesting and highest skill ceiling pvp games that has come out in recent memory.
>filled with cheaters sadly
that's a meme. i've played it on and off since launch. never personally saw someone cheating. watched tons of random high level streamers playing. they also very rarely encounter cheaters.

Gotta admit, Chinese devs have mastered the art of tasteful coombait. This style appeals to me way more than what you see in eastern slop like Stellar Blade.

Can't wait for Wuchang.

Not a sexdoll

How is it more tasteful? Eve literally has similar outfits like that.

>>714369001
Wuxia is more grounded. Basically Wuxia is more historical fiction with setting tied to Chinese historical event or time period. In Wuxia the power system is almost always "qi" and people who learn to manipulate their "qi". While the characters can do some superhuman stuffs with their martial art, there is still a hard limit on what possible.

Meanwhile Xianxia is closer to fantasy where the characters straight up use magic. The setting also a lot more fantastical with magic kingdoms that exist outside human realm.

Wuxia example: The Condor Hero (Wuxia) set during the rise of Genghis Khan with the characters regularly interact with historical figures of that period. In the novel, people can fly a short distance and heal wounds with their "qi'.
Xianxia example: while "Dance of the Sky Empire" set during the Tang period, it location is basically a fictional school where kids train to use magic. There are dragon gods and difference non-human clans. People in it of course straight up use magic, magic that can transform people into dragons, suck you into another dimension or illusion,...

The difference is that there are a bunch of good Wuxia stories, whereas every single Xianxia work ever written is mindnumbingly boring.

Amazing Cultivation Simulator

Where Winds Meet is coming out. It's entering the final closed beta test. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3564740/Where_Winds_Meet/

It has cash shop but that has only got costumes and the battle pass is for costumes only as well. The game is very well received in China and follows same monetization model as Marvel Rivals.

Path of Wuxia. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1189630/Path_Of_Wuxia/

Near perfect translation patch exists for it. Pretty fun game.

>>714408037
>Where Winds Meet is coming out
And it's utter DOGSHIT GAAS lmao. The Chinese are rightfully shitting on it. Fucking downgraded iOS/android cross-platform slop with cancerous cash shop. MMO players hate it and people who wanted single player game hate it. Hopefully it dies.

Netease are the most hated company in China and their PR is pajeet mental illness-tier. Shitting on Wukong and other games while aggressively shilling their slop. Even their upcoming attempt is already getting shat on for their past sins and demented marketing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RPgPkNoAgg

They are the exact type of people Wukong devs described in their open letter to the Chinese gaming industry.
Chinese AA and indie games like Wukong, Wuchang and Phantom Blade Zero are the future. Not GAAS kiketumors.

>>714369001
It's not as clear-cut as >>714369263 and others say.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9T8jaSOqPo4

Nah

>>714408853

>>714408037
Its already out in China. WWM looks pretty ass, like Chinese version of AC/Witcher 3. Anytime I flipped around open world stuff, it was killing random bandits in a camp and opening a treasure of dogshit.
