High quality or not, none of these are blockbusters.

Black Myth Wukong was a real blockbuster tbh

Black Myth Wukong was a real blockbuster tbh

Amongst graphics enthusiasts yes, I don't think I saw a single 'normal' person talk about it. It's a pretty niche title like Hellblade, I'm sure its a good game and it looks well made but not exactly blockbuster tier (think generation-defining titles like RDR, Halo 3, COD4 and whatnot).

None of these were blockbusters lol. Good games (at least I think some of them were, imo Palworld does not look very good but it has its fans), but nobody is going to remember Black Myth or a Warhammer 40k game 10-20 years from now. In fact outside of game review outlets and computer graphics enthusiasts (aka us, people into tech demos and graphical showcases) I don’t think I heard anyone mention Black Myth.

Last gen we had some crazy generation-defining hits (RDR2 comes to mind, TLOU2 although controversial for some will certainly be remembered for a long time along side its predecessor, Witcher 3, etc) but I can’t really think of anything this gen like that. Maybe GTA6 will be filling that gap, and I guess BG3 could be this in retrospect.

Your opinion is not a fact:

Over a million people flock to play Black Myth: Wukong, China's most serious attempt to make a blockbuster video game

Black Myth: Wukong, based on the Chinese legend of the Monkey King, is surpassing records set by titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring.

“Millions of copies” isn’t a blockbuster lol. In what way is this on par with say GTAV’s release?

Yup, done with fallacies

BM:W sold 20 million units in a month. It's up there with the Spider Mans and God of Wars and Uncharteds that everyone recognises as blockbusters.
