Seems that (first ever) Chinese AAA game Black Myth Wukong shattering all records on Steam, as of now 2 million concurrent players and rising.
For comparisons previous single player record holders were Cyberpunk with 1 million concurrent players and Elden Ring with 900k.

Very pretty game but the gameplay looks proper generic to me, doesn't help that I find third person camera games to be very lacking in terms of immersion.

From the videos i seen it looks like God of War style action adventure with focus on boss fights.
Reviews also seem good praising both gameplay and insane graphics, but they docked some points for some bugs and technical problems on PC.

Game is of course enormous phenomena in China, it was made on basis of Journey to the West novel, that is apparently most popular and important Chinese novel and like their equivalent of Homer Iliad and Odyssey.

I'm actually surprised that you of all people, our local GOT historian is a gamer?!? :Blink:

Does this game have any historical relevance, mate?

Not really familiar with Chinese history outside basics i guess.

I remember in school history lessons anything outside Europe was barely mentioned, outside history that was important to our country two biggest periods we spent most time were ancient Greece and Rome and WW2. Everything else very superficially covered.
Even WW2 was mostly teached through brutal civil war that happened here on territory of ex-Yugoslavia.

Yeah but with eBay - do you know if that rando is a good or bad anything? Might be a PC that's hacked up to look okay and barely holding on, AIO/liquid connections or tubes being crap ones that don't live long but you won't find out until you use it breaks, etc.

Anyone nuts enough to buy a watercooled anything off of ebay is asking for trouble. Make contact, go and see it working, put it through the gears, make sure it aint a pup. Barter the cost.

It's the effort that counts, mate.

I don't know if you ever watched the first 'Ted & Bills Excellent Adventure' movie with Keanu Reeves?

Where they went back in time to meet Gengis Khan, and brought him back to the present for their high school history project?

Honestly same, it's the decent thing to do, but life has taught me that there's not enough decent people around to be honest, so I just assume it's someone doing some BS.

Also, don't a lot of these guys overclock the CPU to improve its performance as a selling point, but don't tell you, which decreases its lifespan, and then you don't find out until it's too late?

Usually fine as long as you've got adequate cooling; usually only do it myself towards the middle of the procs lifecycle, to get a bit more time out of it before I switch platforms and/or upgrade, whichever makes more sense. LN2'ing a new proc's a bit asinine. Just spend your money on a higher end GPU or proc to begin with. OC'ing is overrated considering the extra money you have you fork out to make it a viable gain. It's the realm of PC newbs whether they want to admit it or not. Back in the day it was legit, bit pointless now.

More of a show-off thing than anything - that's why it's a competition too.

I don't get people that instantly do small OCs on brand new current-gen equipment though - you're not getting a significant performance boost so unless it's on a "can I do that?" basis it's utterly pointless, as you say. It's not like those 12 cored, over 5Ghz CPUs don't already get mega performance anyway :lol:
