Thank you for watching! This is absolutely pathetic of these people to do this. G-FUEL CODE: ENDYMION G-FUEL LINK: sldr.page.link/L53U Instagram: endymionn Twitter: EndymionYT

Reject western games, embrace eastern games

Black Myth Wukong is a: 1) Game made by Asians. 2) has a male-esque lead (wukong is canonically genderless, but everyone refers to Wukong as he, in all iterations of his story) 3) Has pretty looking female characters 4) Refused to be invaded by SweetBaby Of course the journalists hate it. They have to. Black Myth is the very antithesis of their existence.

Woke Writer who dissed Black Myth Wukong deserved to get the social credits lowered

Alyssa Mercunte deserved to be banned from video gaming industry

Alyssa's narcissism knows no bounds. Also isn't it SO "inclusive" of them to imply that Black myth wukong, an EASTERN game has to "westernize" itself for their personal comfort?

80% of that review was unrelated to Elden Ring. Alyssa is delusional.

The more I was reading that Elden Ring DLC review, the more I wanted to scream: "Holy crap, NOBODY ASKED"

It just so happens that yes I am play Shadow of the Erdtree. ITS A BLAST!!! Those “journalist” can bugger off.

Imagine bringing Elden Ring into Gamergate drama. The wokies are allergic to fun

They should give up trying to ruin Fromsoft. Miyazaki laughs in their faces and drowns their evil plans in his poison swamps.

GoW R dlc: Kratos talks about his feelings Elden Ring dlc: we game only

I find it pretty entertaining how this woman in an interview stated that Stellar Blade was not her cup of tea but the souls like combat was the only thing that may intrigue her since she loves souls like yet in the same breath she'll state exactly the opposite LOL this woman is the incarnation of hypocrisy, cowardice and narcissism all wrapped in one LOL

Finally, someone admits wokeness is a religion.

Kotaku should be blacklisted from _ever_ getting review copies from _anyone_ :3

Man this is great! The tides are turning and we're not the only ones who notice it. The woke devs and jornos know it, and they can't stop it, and it's driving them crazy with fear. Gotta love it! :D

"Alas, I am called. Upon my name as Georgefrey, the First Gamer Gater."

How can these people have no self awareness. I would pay to see the "Twenty hour playthrough of the dlc."

I don't believe she beat the DLC in 20 hours. She pulled a number out of her ass and spoke in vague but plausible terms.

Back in the days of EGM, a fighting game fan would not review, say, RPGs. These days, people that don't like games and openly despise gamers write about every game, but always make it about themselves and their supposedly good fight. It has to stop.

Brother, the DLC/Expansion is like a whole game in its own. It’s amazing! I preordered Black Myth Wukong to support them for standing up to the Forced DEI narrative.

I remember when gaming journalists and writers would just review the game and that’ll be it. No gender politics or agenda involved.

Many games are not even being made for gamers anymore, yet gamers are the problem? Many people in the gaming industry and in games journalism are extremely unprofessional these days. A lot of them have no common sense and no common decency. I never imagined that attacking customers and potential customers would become the norm, but we are living in stupid and bizarre times.

Mercante made her review about her insecurities. I wish she would just go away.

You know whats ironic A lot of Games Journalist claim video games need easy modes and Allyssa even says she had to actually get good at the game in order to properly play the early access, and guess what She did So all this horse shit about games needing easy modes, no, not everything needs an easy mode, you can get better if you put the effort in

Calling Ms. Mercanti a supervillain is giving her a huge compliment. Quote from the movie Silence (2016): There is evil all around in this place, i sense its strength, even its beauty. But there is none of that in this man. He is not worthy to be called evil.

I bet games journos are so upset that the story of Elden Ring isn’t toddler friendly so it’s too much work to find anything to complain about from a social level, so they just have to make it all about themselves.

Alisa is just pathetic she refuses to except consequences for her actions and keeps trying to blame everyone else

Kotaku article was hilarious to say the least. That wasn't a review, it was just another self-insert.

why should we care what these 'journalists' have to say again?

Alyssa Mercante is what happens when Amber Turd and Frosk do a fashion dance from DragonBall Z. Kotaku should be completely blacklisted.

Hi! Alyssa Mercante has a large reach by which she spreads hatred of people based on age, race, sexuality and gender. She's not the oppressed she's the oppressor. Thanks for tuning in!

From Software is the template for how all game devs should model themslves. A company that makes games with passion, has their own unique style and is free of divisive modern politics and instead has universal themes. Hopefully their success inspires others to follow their path!

That's an other level of main character syndrome cringe

Alyssa’s review reads like the journal of an emotional teenage girl who just played a video game for the first time.

Long live Chinese, Japanese and Korean developers for keeping video games based af.

Alyssa doesn't realize she is one of the deformed monster we are all fighting against in her allegory.

I believe it wasn't Harambe that made everything go crazy. It was when Filthy Frank disappear is when all the insanity started coming out. I believe he was the one holding them back with his chromosome from all the madness of the multiverse.

As dedicated as Ziostorm has been to FromSoftware’s games and how passionate he is about the lore of Elden Ring, he should have gotten a f’ing review code smh 😡

looks like someone is stuck at the first ghost enemy and got jealous of the game lol

And this is why we need people who are about objectivity and not political bias and emotional damage. I cannot wait till each if them pay for their audacity.

Mercanti always makes the story about herself. She has no idea how uninteresting she is and how little anyone cares about her or her life.

This is why I not only mostly play Japanese games but watch mostly anime.

She didnt play the elden ring dlc she got one of her soy boys to try and play it. None of the people at kotaku can actually play games a simple move like an air dash is beyond their understanding.

Macuntie’s review or diary entry? Calling the Scadutree, the Haligtree made me want to call the blade of Miquella💀

HOW IS ANY OF THAT RELEVENT!!!! JESUS FIRE ALYSSA MARCUNTY ALREADY

The Kotaku activist that "Reviewed" the DLC had only 20 hours of playtime. This is all propaganda.

"Out of everyone at Kotaku" - I'm starting to think she IS everyone left at Kotaku. Why is it "games journalists" just seem to be salty that gamers can game and they can't?

We all know Harambe did not get shot, was choked. Then the madness started.

Of course she thinks it parallels ONLY her life. That's the first time she's played a DS game and the DS effect is setting in. She doesn't realize that she's the big bad tyrant that she's complaining about

Alyssa, if you were a Fromsoft character, you’d be closest to Patches; acting all tough until people give you backlash and you cry about it. The main difference is that Patches ADDS to the customer’s experience, while you just keep taking.

That review is fucking hilarious. These people are not real. 😂

So 7 million dollars to make a the main protagonist a sexually ambiguous women of color? Maybe I should go into the sensitivity consulting business.

Western games can be good, the main thing that holds the developers back imo is that the western gamingsphere is infested with creatively bankrupt publishers that has the mind of a brickwall, and has little to no ingegraty. Now it looks like meritocracy is on the chopping block too

"we dont choose to do things because theyre easy ..but because theyre hard!" This dlc is whooping my ass and LOVE IT

Anyone who calls the pandemic by its real name (12:41) gets my vote every time - please keep up the good work Endymion.

People have been reporting that the cry baby’s tactics include fear, isn’t that terrorism?

There just jealous because there game will never reach elden ring numbers

Lol @EndymionTv, placate is pronounced like play-kate, not play-sate. Fun video as always, getting oversaturated with all the woke commentary but love when you appear on panels and give your authentic take! Also appreciate how you don't "go with the flow" taking an opinion on people or subjects just because the crowd is, whether it's the "woke" or "anti-woke" folks. People notice that and note when this guy isn't willing to spit out condemnation or praise out of nowhere, aka shill. 💪 Keep at it and congrats!

These Kotaku writers are incapable of writing about anything without making it about themselves. Ridiculous how some of these companies are still living in the 90's focusing on these publications and ignoring where the actual audience is.

You're a natural, keep doing what you do

This is the woke nightmare stuff I was asking about, the question WHEN WILL THIS WOKE BULLSHIT NIGHTMARE ENDDdDDdDdDdDdDdDdDd😭😭😭😭😭😭

we know me anyway, the price is 7 million even if it is not described in dollars or yen, certainly but But it is there and does not justify the extortion on the part of DEI.

I'm really enjoying Shadow of the Erdtree. My only real "problem" with it so far is that they've added a post-processing effect over most areas in the DLC (I guess to distinguish them from the base game) and I don't think it looks very good.

I know another very influential game, Harvest Moon. :]

Dont forget Witchers 3 Blood and Wine. Another truly epic DLC.

Fuckin knew they would talk smack about elden ring.

What does anything she said have anything to do with the game????

Criminally underrated KZfaqr

Alysa: Wah wah woe is me, I have all these problems in my life because of these people! Kotaku: you're supposed to be writing a review, remember? Alysa: Oh yeah, blah I played and l was born anew Actual readers: But what does that even mean?

2:07 I know Souls like games isn’t for everybody, so why did they get a reviewer who dislikes these type of games to review the Elden Ring expansion?

It doesn't help that many corporate music are only repeated endlessly so you like it, whereby before it was natural selection between those singers and creating music, where by the first time hearing you liked it. Thank you for doing such great videos!

Anyone putting disrespect on elden ring can respectfully savor the sweaty brown peach ring of the Godskin Noble

They somehow have high expectations to think their story of gamergate2 is going to work. But the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

I expect indie. Everything... Books, games, movies to fill the void/s.

Bro I’ve listened to a lot of your essays at this point, and this one had some of the best written narrative lines yet

She uses the most shallow stereotypes about the fromsoft style to open her article. This is to add a thin layer of nerdness to try and confirm she really plays, while also speaking of avoidance to prior games so that she has plausible deniability in case quized about thematic conflicts with her weak little allegory. Overall, she didn't write this review for anyone who plays games. She wrote it to the outside world. She wrote this for people who just dislike the type of person that would enjoy this game. Because let's be honest, she could care less about games, unless she can suck some kind of attention or progressive prestige out of it.

no but, after everything that has happened, all these people still don't believe that the DEI is a threat, it's really sad

Being a bully and victim at the same time is really getting old.

This is the dark age of western games, movies and tv shows. I hope common sense will prevail.

We are in the Dark Timeline

Most of the gaming discourse these days are making me want to be a gamer less besides no hate to kotaku the only problem is Alyssa Mercante and her questionable behavior towards gamers besides as much as I’m a gamer myself I tend to stay away and distance myself from that type of stuff since it’s really energy draining

Elden Ring rejected the woke agenda you say? The final boss is Radahn who they literally turned gay for his gay brother. The entire lore of the world now culminates in incest and homosexuality. That's more woke than I've seen since TLOU part 2.

ARGGGHHH!!! MERCUNTE!! (Pirate Voice)

It should be noted that using the term "plandemic" in a criticism of journalists injecting their politics, instead of focusing on the subject, weakens your position quite a bit.

Alyssa deserves a better life, outside of the toxic patriarchies of the West. Maybe India or Afghanistan? Africa? Let' s get it done.

Say it with me: "It's all about ME!"

enjoying my time with the DLC so far. be warned; EVERYTHING hits like a truck (even at lvl350)

Elden ring cant get much woker, Radagon is Marika, child prince Miquella is the lover of old hairy guy Radahn its like s dream world for the left 😂

I would be happy to buy Black Myth Wukong on PS5, but they’re not selling it physically.

I’d banish myself if I was summoned to Mercunte’s realm

The Voice(s) from the Outer World are giving the Bene Gesserit sisterhood headaches.

Once again, it's all about them, not the customer.

Leave it to FromSoft to unintentionally create a journalist mode that is actually harder than the base game. Love to see it. 😂

Wukong, according to the lore from "Journey to the West", is technically of non-binary gender because he's born from a stone and capable of "the 72 transformations", which enables him to be a woman today, a men tomorrow, and an elder the day after, both of which are often key criterias used for deciding whether one is of traditional binary gender. Beyond gender is his ethnicity as well. Him being born from a stone technically makes a silicon based lifeform, which absolutely makes him one of the minority groups. Other than this, he's also a vegan, a religious believer in buddhism; given the fact that he calls every female character he sees from the original lore "Buddha" and practically NEVER had any sexual-related thought on them, he actually has a huge amount of respect for female, which makes him a firm supporter in feminism. (This list can go on way longer and we can even find proofs of him being an environmentalist and an advocate of animal protection, but I will stop here for now) So if we judge from this perspective, Wukong actually has ALL the values Sweet Baby claims to be strong supporter of, and therefore, by protesting against Black Myth Wukong due its core values, they are in fact going AGAINST everything they claim to stand for, literally throwing punches into their own face.

The DLC seems to just be double portion of Elden Ring: amazing design, archaic gameplay, and atrocious balancing.

Hey, did you smell that I smell Jealousy and it Sweet.

As a gamer yes we are the problem and we are also the solution to devs personal issues.

Anyone else remember the days where people committing crimes could be sued and there weren't corrupt judges who would charge to dismiss your case?

Fromsoft is goated
