What is Black Desert all about? Why is Black Desert getting so much hype and so much hate online.
Black Desert is a soon to be released sandbox MMORPG that offers feature from sandbox games and themepark games in a gorgeous package.
I'm going to be honest for anyone who actually reads the descriptions. This game has a lot going for it- mainly the fact that it is not trying to dethrone the king. It makes obvious choices that will limit who will find the game appealing in order to stick to an anti instance- world reinforcing type of gameplay. I personally think this is one of the last times the west is going to get to vote with their wallet about if they want the same drivel we've been given or if we want an MMORPG that is more specialized.. and different.
Black Desert is a game I will probably spend time with and for me personally the largest block for me is that it is being released very close to the Division.

I for one find the lack of handholding in this game really refreshing.
I swear it lobotomizes people on other MMO's
+Serah Wint It's not about handholding to me, it's about supplying motivation. Sure, you can go storm a goblin camp and kill the leader for the sake of it, but you get a better sense of reward and accomplishment when you do it because there's a story compelling you to do it. I can totally understand why people would feel the game is pointless after awhile, not because they couldn't go wander around and do random things, but because it's not interesting enough or rewarding enough to do that.
+Stormie33 I think its pretty rewarding. You wouldnt destroy the goblin camp just for the sake. You also get craft/trade materials by it, which can in some circumstances increase the relation to some certain NPCs by trades or quests and you level up. Also you dont need to get a story delivered by the game itself if you can make your own story/adventure out of it. Other than that you get really motivated to get all the stuff build up in the game and there are many things to build up and maintain. Especially motivating with others together.
BDO is definitely the best mmo experience I've had. Its the first time I've felt this immersed in a mmo. The world is beautiful and alive, it just makes me want to be a part of it.
+Porkify Are you for realzies
+Porkify It is the most immersed I have felt in any game since the start of Star Wars Galaxies. Looking forward to early access to start.
Ricky Carrender You guys are making me terribly excited. I cannot handle it.
+Skeptic Gamer Pretty sure he is. I can say the exact same thing and I have 2500 or so hours on FFXIV, so it's not like I don't get the other side of the argument ^^
Why didnt you mention the fact that to get a lot of quests,you have to actually talk to NPC's to get information on the quest giver..and to get information on that person to get information on the quest giver,you have to do a quest or bribe them to get that information?...Thats literally one of the coolest things ive ever seen in a mmorpg
So basically, its a real world in which your character has to make his/her way in without being a "hero" or "specialborn"? SIGN ME UP!!!
Nolan.. I need you to make a guild and let me be THE fisherman.
+Fevir That was my role. It was a joke in the guild that I was nothing but a fisher in the game. Incoming long ass comment about this video at some point; but I just got back from a long ass drive from the Chinese embassy so I'm too damn tired to write the whole thing out right now.
You have my permission, however, to use the "Fortissimo" guild name and our emblem.
+Fevir Please don't recommend this game to Arch age people I know a lot of them will be coming over but frankly no one wants them in Black Desert they are toxic as acid. And if this game fails witch there is a small chance of it doing that chance is gonna be upped by the community players of arch age.
+Nolan Alighieri notice me senpai
no
***** The toxic community of arch age
Started playing it a few days ago. Totally hooked.
I only wish I had heard of BDO sooner.
No instanced pve dungeon crap? That makes me more interested in the game.
Spent 2 hours on Char creation... Grinded till lvl 23... Decided to be a fisherman... Fishing, fishing, fishing... 23 hours gameplay in total... Run around sell dem fish... Buy stuff from trade manager... Run to another node... Sell the stuff at a higher price to the nodes trade manager... Rinse 'n' repeat... Now I'm rich... Back to grinding lvls ;(
The sooner players and devs get away from this raiding as the only form of endgame and all this constant hand holding...the better off the MMO genre will be.
+Char Aznable Exactly. To them that is an MMO, without that they aren't interested. Pretty sad. I personally find runnign the same dungeons over and over in some static environment really boring and quite all games that revolve around that as end game content. Get my dynamic player interactions, to good and the bad, and the game is a lot more interesting.
+aPersona a Yep, that is exactly what I was implying.Straw man me harder.
+kooken58 I don't think raids should be the only way to progress endgame, but I do think it should be an option for those who like that sort of thing. If this game, let's say, wanted to make the raid non-instanced, but with the the dungeon itself having it's own instance away from the rest of the world, because I can see how that would strain the servers, let it. In this scenario, let everyone work together to take on puzzles and traps in a tomb and take on the ancient king who has revived. Maybe the king isn't the only boss. Maybe there are optional bosses who were the king's commanders. Let it be a raid where you explore the dungeon and do only what you want to. I'd like to play that. I understand the frustration with no games wanting breaking the mold, though. Let each game put it's own personal spin on the raid.
Syntherus I still believe instanced PvE has its place, but like I said it shouldn't be the only form of endgame. I personally prefer back when dungeons where not instanced. Upper levels of the dungeon were typically solo friendly, but as you got deeper the mobs were much higher level and more difficult to kill requiring a group of people or more. It was a good way to make friends and it wasn't some stupid queue system.
+kooken58 My favorite game of all time, the number one on my top 5 of all time favorite games, FFXI
Fevir i'm a content creator here on youtube as well, and have to say. You have a great commentary style and your MMO videos are some of the best out here! I'm definitely picking this game up. I only got to around lvl 10 in the beta on both of my characters but i seen enough to know i'm going to enjoy it. I've been playing MMO's since 2003 so i've become a bit jaded with this genre but it looks like this game will help with that.
+EQOAnostalgia That means a lot from some of the old guard of MMORPGs :)
Personally, I'm very excited for this game. Not having raids or quests that tell you how to play is a HUGE TURN ON for me. I hate having to quest constantly to get anywhere. I am a huge fan of having to get out there and work for a goal instead of trying to figure out what item does what for a quest or who to talk to and which questions to ask which person. Those types of games really turn me off. I also never cared for instanced raids. Open world bosses are a lot better in my opinion. I haven't played yet and I'm waiting for the official release here in a couple days but this game definitely seems like my type of game.
And like you said, this game isn't for everyone and that's a GOOD thing. When everybody gets in a game and tries to tell the developer how to make the game it ends up being a muddy half assed everything and everyone will lose interest in it. You can't make everyone happy because everyone has their own preferences and that's OK.
From Skyrim to Black desert
+Bob Barker Skyrim sucks ass...
+M4rcin Ahahahahahahahaha
***** exactly thanks xD
+skyphaser Skyrim is a product of Bethesda. It sucks. Skyrim with mods is a product of us gaming community. It kicks ass. So there, my statement that Skyrim sucks ass is backed by facts: No one plays Skyrim the way Bethesda made it.
+Kenneth Donnelly 100% agree with You, sir. Thats why I hate Skyrim and all Bethesda games. Sorry fanboys...
Someone besides me remembers Asheron's Call. 10/10, 100/100, best gamer.
the game is absolutely fantastic and very unique as far as mmos go. Been playing since CBT1.
+Justin Dixon I can't get over how much better the game feels with a proper translation than when I played it back with an english patch
+Fevir I would say people only hate on this game because they just didnt have time to understand the basics of it. i had a bad time while figuring stuff out because i felt totaly lost, but when i got the basics like nodes workers and such down i enjoyed the hell out of CBT2
+Holo Camobear I've watched hours of videos and played both CBTs. I won't tell you I understand everything but the things that I did dive into deeply (contribution, laborers, nodes, crafting) they are don't have any real complexity and seem/feel very shallow after you learn it. There is a supposition of opinions happening here where people equate *quantity of things to do* with *depth* and I think that isn't a fair or true comparison.
+Fevir totally agree, i played with the same patch for about 5 months and it was a struggle most times, just because its in english doesn't mean it makes sense lol
Josh T "i have watched hours of videos" yeah, well, i didnt :D i wanted to figure things out myself, and for a first look its quiet hard to learn, but i agree after learning it it seems simple and easy
If this brings back old school mmo features back into the light, im happy. So many features in this game that brings me back to Ultima Online.
God lets pray to god they never add instances to this game at all.
Most likely they are
+enma ai other than housing there will never be instances, but nice try.
They are adding more dungeons and raids though, besides the ones they already have in Valencia
+enma ai
Even after 1year + in Korea still no instances, there is one open world dungeon however and more are coming.
+m1n1s1nk Agreed. The biggest selling point for me was no instanced raiding and dungeons(and the no fast travel)... I played WoW for years. I had enough of that for a lifetime. I just want a huge immersive world that feels alive, and I can be a part of. You know... an actual MMORPG... what it's supposed to be.
+enma ai They probably won't because we will get our content (NA/EU) after it is out in Korea and even Russia. The Korean version has Dungeon yes but it is not instanced and even in a Q&A aimed at the developer (Daum is only the publisher for NA/EU) they said they don't plan it because they don't like it.
Arena-PvP like 1v1 or 3v3 is something else for them but nothing WoW Raid like
I modded my skyrim alot then i saw black desert and i just knew i had to buy that. Now im level 54 maehwa, about to be level 55. Also working on getting a warrior to 50.
I came into this expecting you to not 'get it' in some way. I was cynical and thought you would either not get the appeal of the game, mischaracterize the features, or misrepresent the legitimate gripes people have and just be another fanboy for it. But damn... I was just flat wrong.
I am legitimately impressed by this video and by your insight and mindfulness about this game and genre. This is the single best video, article, or piece of media I've seen about BDO.
CZcams, the MMO genre, and gaming in general need more content creators like you.
I think a good thing to say to people when they ask about playing it: "Leave everything you know about MMOs at the door". Its moving away from the Everquest/WoW structure which is awesome because hopefully it inspires other developers to make MMORPGs with different gameplay structure. And the combat is pretty smexy
what i like is that it makes you feel likea huge singleplayer game with other people, you dont need to grind a dungeon to get that specifik item, you go around killing monsters, and making your own history, earning your gold for the day, go home and look at the marked and buy some goodies for your hard earned money, its more RPG , and i like that
I love that there is no stupid Instanc in this game. This is the first MMO since long i love.
+Lukas Griessenberger Me too. I think that instances destroy immersion and really isolates people from the rest of the world, especially with the way it's done now with fast-travel and teleporting directly into them.
+Mark Borkowski This game has no level cap and no endgame.. just open world bosses for pve :/ Its like wow but they removed instanced pve. Ye and another combat system.
I need to play this game! My Brother has started to play it and it's making me so jealous.
I could cry!
+coral k You're gonna play NA or EU?
lmao
Hiro The Phantom was j/w cause it def looks like you do...if that is the case you should play on our server.
Asheron's Call was my first ever mmo back when I was 15 years old!...wow that was a long time ago.oh the memories.
I think the reason this game has such a low ratings is because many people see "Fantasy MMORPG" as just one type of a game, as typical style of WoW, LOTRO, Lineage, etc... So i think many low rates for this game came from people who bought it with different expectations, and were angry they wasted money.
I got sick of theme parks. This looks great
ah, the dream of old-school Ultima Online, back when the only 'goal' was to play the game and explore the world... it was a magical time back then in the 90s =], no pre-conceived bias or 'molds' to follow/copy
+CYI3ERPUNK EverQuest as well.
I love the whole trying to hide the failure of nothing to do at the end with possibilities that we know won't happen in the real world and will only lead to more frustration.
Hand holding and lack of content are two completely different things.
This sounds like a old school MMO, thinking about Lineage II when i saw this video. Guilds declaring war against each other, guilds can own castles and such... Damn sounds great!
black desert : moded skyrim online
+djay T-b What can be better than that? :))
+djay T-b So what ESO should have been.
the game is shit , it makes it so you have to pay to enjoy it
+djay T-b You are completely wrong actually, maybe it is p2w korean servers but not in the western ones
***** i did stop playing games, was best decision of my life
The main gripe I have about the game is the costumes in the cash shop that cost more than the game itself... and costumes being the only way to customize your apparel, since armor changes close to nothing and the helmets/cloaks don't even show. I honestly would not even really care if the costumes were not so expensive.
+Chance Trimble Heard about this, looks like ill be buying my friends 30 dollar copies to play....lol instead of costumes.
This game gets so many things right it just blew my mind. I grew up with Everquest and Lineage 2 so I'm totally used to leveling via "the grind", in fact I like when I can chose my own leveling spots instead of questhubs telling me where to go next. And that's only a tiny part of what the game has to offer. As for exploration, immersion and all the life skills... this is a better Skyrim than Skyrim, it's just unbelievable.
what makes black desert so special for me ? well it IP blocked me out cos of this it has a special place in my heart :D
whilst I don't agree with everything in this piece, I do share your concerns. I want this game to be a success. Ironically, I also want it to be niche. Not too successful that it gets spoilt trying to cater to everyone.
I like games that don't overload you with ten thousand tutorials you're forced to do on menial things you could easily learn yourself. It starts to really confuse me when I have to do ten quests at the same time that shows me basic shit that I already found out how to do by playing for 5 minutes.
I am glad this game won't be for everyone, not holding players by the hand while luring them with purple gear as you put it. Looking forward to something different but still reminiscent from my LI2 gaming days. 5 more days to wait. YAY!
that moment when u started slaying those friendly creatures dancing around having fun i almost cried haha :´(
It was the little things that took me out of the game really. New shield with a different icon? Looks just like your old shield. Suit of armor that looks awesome on the icon? nothing like it on your character and it just adds a belt. Saddle for your horse? bedroll on its ass.
It was things like that that just left me feeling like nothing mattered. I want to get that next piece of gear to look awesome, and if it doesn't change anything about my character I just really don't care to keep playing. I enjoy romping through open world 'dungeons' (spent hours at the castle with the rebel leader, killed him so many times as well as his cronies pretending I was sieging the castle) and even crafting but that eventually came down to grinding out mats at waiting for stamina which ruined THAT experience.
It's pretty, it plays really well as far as combat but at the end of the day It's like a big giant lake of water only knee deep. not for me but I can appreciate the effort and where it wants to go.
I appreciate your viewpoint. It was very well articulated and helped to manage my expectations for this game. Well done!
Thank you for naming AC, Me and my friend were stating how alot of it reminded us of it. Good times good times.
"Through conditioning, that mini-game symbolizes both item and character progression."
Very aptly stated. Conditioning indeed. The vast majority of gamers don't have the critical lens to remain open to designs that are unfamiliar.
1 - I never liked PvE endgame. It's a false sense of doing something. Open world, sandbox, lack of direction is right up my alley. I don't lack the imagination to keep myself interested while others just stand around spamming in the chat because they are bored. Only boring people get bored.
2 - I am happy to finally see a game that gets outside of the box rather than just talk about it. Instead of getting rid of the trinity while keeping the need for it, they got rid of trinity and the need for trinity, as there is no dungeoning. Finally, you can group with people because you like them, not because you need that class. Now, if you want to be a jerk in a group, you will end up alone rather than everyone putting up with you because they need your class in the group.
3 - The cash shop items that give bonuses are negligible. They will not give any player an advantage that would make me feel I need to get anything in the cash shop. People are persecuting Daum for something that they haven't done. The prices are expensive, but not pay to win. It's like some people want the game to fail because the more people that fail around them, the better they can feel about themselves for failing.
A Korean MMO with a horrible grind? The hell you say! /sarcasm
interesting that the pay shop was not mentioned. im on the side that it is pay to win however i find it odd that costumes have stat increases/exp gain/ stamina on horse armor, etc
+Lumpy Space Princess It really does almost nothing besides appearance changes. Anything remotly game changing can be earned or bought normally with the daily currency you receive
I love that you call raiding a mini game. I've never heard it put that way before.
This game would be the best MMORPG of all time, but the dicks that own the Licence laid a IP block for a lot of countries, and the majority of Latin America. I really don't understand game companies, i just want to give them my money and play the fucking game.
+Mauro Garcia They need to be allowed to host the game in that region.
For example, for this game to be allowed to be hosted in China, all the Skeletons/enemies that show bones, would have to be changed as that's illegal in China.
There's more to it than just opening sht up, I obviously don't know their exact reason.
+Just Kats Wait a sec...showing bones in China is forbidden?
lucioluciolucio85 Ok, poor choice of words.
It's not straight up forbidden, but a lot of companies localizing a game do choose to censor to release the game quicker.
WoW skeletons for example who got the flesh back on their bones.
So while it's not forbidden, there are apparently complications surrounding it, I don't quite understand it myself, so google is your friend here lol.
Just Kats
Sounds kinda weirdo, but what i could expect? :D
thx for the info
Really no mention about the gender and age restricted classes?
+Elias Von porat you win some, you lose some.
not much to talk about that is there?
it's an issue only considered important to some, not all.
+Elias Von porat Very much a very small minority of people actually put off by this, judging by the posts on the 3 sites I frequent, game's forum included.
I wish there was a Male tamer but other than that I don't really care. That being said there are a few classes that have both male and female but if you're hoping to make a younger male wizard don't hold your breath.
Anyone remembers zones like Tyr's Hand from vanilla wow?
Is that the kind of end-game content in BDO? Because call me in for that, zones with increased difficulty, build around groups, which can be done solo, but often require help from strangers when things go south? As open world as it gets, helping to build communities and friendships, while thanks to pvp creating as well foes and feuds.
Now the pvp just needs to be not to punishing and the world big enough to evade trouble as well.
Night time in many games is often terrible b/c no attention is given to how different shadows and shadow opacity work at night. They keep the same shadow opacity during the night as the day, which creates zones of zero visibility, because what little light they give for the moon or stars is completely overpowered by shadows.
Could be so easy to fix... but they don't.
The Division? Anybody really care about that crap?
+HisingenWolf Maybe if Ubisoft didnt have anything to do with it.
+HisingenWolf not really
+HisingenWolf Yes.
I'll say that the beta was better than I expected it to be on release. I'll be playing it for awhile I think (the division) I just have a feeling about it
+HisingenWolf Division is boring. BDO all the way. I just want to fish and sail my boat to see the Leviathan :D.
That distance blur effect is just horrible.
0:26 elves!? There's no damn elves in this game that would just be stupid yo.. someone bring me a claymore..
+Zangra Marsh w3rd, Elves are shit. Asians have like 30 other weird ass WeebFuels they could use instead
I think it makes sense that you gain experience from combat. That's how you would REALLY gain experience. Not from collecting 10 bushes for someone.
How do you really know who the game is meant to be for? My point is looking at the developer commentary, there seems to be some disconnect between the developers long term goals and what some of these players expect. For example, they dont want it to be just an open pvp based world, but said they want to cater to every play style and appeal to a larger group of players.
This is counter to what you are suggesting.
I think we do not see it yet, because of what their development focus has been on atm... but I also wouldnt go around claiming who the game is for as its not really up to the players to suggest that.
That said, one thing I would really love to see is some better enemy AI. They literally do not recognize your presence until you are practically standing on top of them, and thats not very challenging, especially when you run into a hostile enemy camp and kill their companions a few feet away yet they remain oblivious.
+RabenWulf I am not so much claiming what it is- but giving the viewpoint of the people who are really hyped for it- and why. There are tons of aspects of the game I don't cover that encompass what the game has to offer..
+RabenWulf This is largely because no sane developer will ever flat out just say "We don't give a damn about "Target audience X" or "Group of people Y"". In the end of the day any copy of the game bought is a win for them even if you buy it for the wrong reasons and end up not playing it. I'd listen to Fevir - dude knows what he's talking about ;)
+RabenWulf Always one person that misinterprets something and complains. You're that guy huh.
Corey And what kind of guy does your comment make you, huh? RabenWolf does not "complain" - wrong or not, they've explained their reasoning. Meanwhile I fail to spot anything constructive in your comment. If you want to just point fingers and ostracize someone, there are plenty of retards under some of the other comments. I wish it were only "one person"...
I didn't even read all that, you must have a lot of time on your hands neckbeard
one thing i hate about this game. pixels snap.
The game recently launched here in Brazil and...so far, as long as I've been playing Guild Wars 2 and was comfortable being a casual player in that game, I can say that BD has pushed me to look forward into not only myself as a gamer but as my character and what to become in the sandbox world, the way the map reminds of Civilization games or other RTS's is really amazing, you truly feel like a merchant. I look forward to the next expansions get more professions ( maybe lawyers, doctors, engineers for the castles? xD) It isn't a game for everybody and I hope it stays that way...
Has you channel just blown up recently? I remember when it used to take you ages to get 1000 views on a video. Congratulations, your videos have always been well put together and I'm glad to see you getting the recognition you deserve.
Fevir, this game sounds awful. Their focus is no focus? Is there a PVP focus like Archeage or ESO? Sandbox is not a sandbox if it's just a them park MMO without the rides.
+T Law This game is very hard to explain and understand without you actually playing it. I personally feel that this game has more focus than any other mmo due to the Skyrim amount of content. The main "set" focus is PVP but there are so many other features that the player can choose to focus on for themselves.
+T Law The Devs have said all along that the game is meant for every part to be dependent on one another, if you only PVP and do not do any PVE to unlock nodes and certain areas of the game you will be at a disadvantage and vise versa, the crafting, the PVP, the PVP and the Horse breading is all meant to interact together.
It honestly sounds like fantasy EVE Online.
I can't wait.
+The Peter I like what they are going for. They let the PLAYERS (just like people in real life) determine the meaning of the world.
Its not just a lack of PVE instanced dungeons, its a lack of anything worth while PVE wise. Nothing is threatening in 99% of the monsters you face as long as you are half way competent in playing the game. AI is god awful and i have not idea how you would fix it. While the skills ARE cool, actually killing things feels more like ARPGs where you slaughter millions of monsters but nothing will actually kill you because they can barely fight back.
Your videos are so reflective, I love it! They give me a real insight of the games you review :) Thank you!
Your review reminds me a lot of a review I once wrote for Eve Online. The game has a niche market, has god-awful tutorials, caters to a pretty specific type of player, doesn't attempt to contend with the WoW's and EQ's of the current time, and just works to do it's own thing. Thanks for the review, I"d already bought the $50 package, and this video made me feel better after watching people freak out the last few days. All I have to say is that if both BDO and Crowfall flop, I will never pre-order/Kickstart an MMO again. Period.
depth of field the game
Life skills still done best in mabinogi, and combat still best in vindictus, and sandbox still bigger in EVe Online - but its still fun lol
+Composer Viktor It's a shame that mabinogi and vindictus visually look so bad- they were pretty decent games.
+Composer Viktor I played Mabi for years but the repetitive dungeons and shadow missions got boring, I would just sit in Dunby talking to people. Same with Vindi, the combat is fun, but running the same missions over and over gets old real quick.
+Fevir what, how is vindictus ugly LOL
+Tina Garcia Idk, raids are pretty fucking satisfying in vindi - not to mention there's a lot of them, and there's a shit ton of stuff to do in mabi besides the dungeons and stuff - but it all really falls down to the ability to have friends and make it worthwhile with the experiences. Anyway, for bdo, it would be perfect to me if they made use of the epic fighting system and added intense boss fights instead of Zerg fests, and if they expanded the life skills and stuff to the extent mabi was, but it's still a work in progress so maybe it'll get there- I just hope someday we can compose our own music again lol
Composer Viktor It looks like a PS2 game on max settings :S
I like that the focus isn't leveling up. That was probably the biggest thing I thought I didn't like about Black Desert. I watched some beta gameplay and decided that it looked like every other fantasy mmo I've ever played. Combat mechanics and character creation wasn't enough to draw my attention, because I "knew" I was going to have to grind. Now that I heard that level isn't the overall goal. I might be interested. I hate quests too. I will keep looking at it.
"What makes Black Desert Online so special" how about a humongous amount of well thought out content literally more than most MMO's currently active put together. This game carries an addiction warning on load up, and trust me it is necessary. I haven't been impressed by a game for a very very long time but this could possibly be the one that truly beats the first amazing MMO's that blew me away like WOW (which I beta tested, so I played from the very start) with such unique crafting, trading, combat systems its like discovering gaming all over again. It is s true diamond in the rough. This game is mindbogglingly confusing at first but so rewarding as you slowly learn how you fit into this amazing virtual world and make your mark as a fighting, crafting, trading, world boss slaying, ultimate weapon of destruction. a game that truly has no ending no matter how hard you try. You can try to rush to level 50 and you would only unlock 10% of the game giving the players that have explored the game a huge advantage over you. Chinese gold sellers are desperately trying to circumvent the games anti-seller system with no luck at all they are dispised and easily blocked while we all make enough money to enjoy the game no matter if you have 8 hours a day to play or 2. It's a game that caters to the hard core as much as the casual. I play weekends only and have surpassed my friends in wealth by utilizing the games afk mechanics which im sure you will find out how to as well, its not cheating its designed for us that way. Get online and try it yourselves
game feels terrible, i'll keep to my skyrim
+Yammy Yams too bad they could not make skyrim even 2 player co-op and what year is this? 2016? I know skyrim is a bit older but still...its about time. Also have u played it? This is not ESO...so im not sure what your comment is about?
+Douglas Duda Please don't feed the troll.
Char Aznable idk what you're laughing about, modded skyrim is still a better game than most..
+Char Aznable Uh... what game have you been playing? Skyrim most certainly does NOT need mods to be good, I hate assholes that say shit like that. I bet you loved Oblivion and Daggerfall, and only hate on it because you can. God, gamers are an entitled bunch.
eh i actually just got pissed off at skyrim, it kept ctding even with no mods and a fresh install on, compleeeete bs.
Well, Division is garbage, so BDO it is.
(Just to let you guys know.. The EU/NA version of this game.. Does have Raids, an party based dungeons in the game Currently two raids and 4 party based dungeons but are focused for level 48+ More to come in the future months. People were complaining loads and Pearl Abyss heard and are making stuff for our version so Don't worry so much =D)
+James Lewis From what i hear regular mobs are really inept...its hard to die to them with all those dodges and blocks i guess. It would be nice to see some more mobs/bosses that give u less time to react and less predictable. Hopefully this will be the case down the road.
blew my mind when I heard you reference Asheron's Call. I completely agree. AC was my first and favorite mmo for many years, until Star Wars Galaxies.
Glad to see an mmo that has an open boundless world to explore without being told what to do.
Combat is kinda gw2...seems boring.
+LoDrAkK/// dont compare it to that crap
+LoDrAkK/// Completely different.
+LoDrAkK/// it seems ppl that have never played gw2 or bd are upvoting ur comment because they have absolutely nothing the same
+Martin Ivanov It almost seems like these people are utter idiots, but that can't possibly be on the internet, can it? :)
+LoDrAkK/// gw2 has one of the best combat systems in any mmo... you probably just never got good at it ;)
open world pvp... that's all i need to know to NOT play this game.
+Tcheco Lee lol what a fckin carebear
+Tcheco Lee I love owning players like you
casual spotted
+Tcheco Lee I think before you say that, you need to learn more. They make PKing/player griefing very hard, there's a complex karma system in place.
+Tcheco Lee oh come on.
I like what you did there in the negatives section. no one feels "lost" because quests don't give xp. they dislike it, because that's just a bad idea...quests should give xp. it's just another form of grind, yes, but it gives you a feeling of doing stuff.
Honestly i've played different mmo's and never liked any, played this beta and loved it. I've been wanting a mmo that doesn't hold your hand or forces you to do quests. You can progress anyway you want and its amazing.
The only thing I dislike is not being able to really change my aesthetics... I don't know if this changes later but I don't wanna be looking the same in the end game as I did in the beginning, I really enjoy visual progression
+MSN740 Sadly there are only about 5 different beggar appearances for each class. Only way to look better/different is to drop 32$/€ on a character bound costume lol so if aesthetics and character appearance is your thing, better be ready to unsheath your credit card bro
Hyunckel I like different outfits. I'm not someone who needs to change 24/7 but if there's about 5 different appearances it's okay. Defiantly wish there were more tho :(
+Hyunckel Yea someone mentioned they are expensive, but they must have taken a lot of time to make these outfits/costumes as the person mentioned they looked good. Also with no Subscription even if u pay 100 bucks for the Conq pack this is still Less than half a YEAR of WOW...15 bucks a month...I think a few outfits once ina while would not kill anyone.
Guys do not buy this game because it will become free to play shortly after comes out !!!!! the developers knou the is a weak game and and they try to make as many money
+iulix max yup. All signs point to this already.
+iulix max I don't think this is gonna happen soon enough though. It may take 8 months or a year for it to be free to play depending on how much they earn from release and throughout.
But there really is no denying this was the plan from the get go. If that is the case, then it is hard to not feel swindled.
+iulix max This is a flawed argument. Of course they want to make money - And you know.. with licenced titles from korea they usually come with some VIP/Premium Model, which is kinda mandatory if you want to play it seriously. So im perfectly fine with paying 30$/€ for a VIP free enviroment. There is also the argument, that there are B2P games with cash shops - like GW2. It really depends on how the prices in the cashshop develope over time and what type of item they put in to feel swindled.
Hell - if i get 20 hours of dedicated fun out of 30$ im completely fine with that and this is most likely to happen with a freaking good looking sandbox mmo with some nice (crafting/economic/immersion) systems in place and a good action-combat system.
+Florian H. He is correct. Most devs do this now. Buy the box for the first few months, then "cave" and go fully FTP with an even more onerously OP'd cash shop.
I don't know why but I love sailing in mmos, I even found the rowboats in Archeage fun. Seeing that there's sailing in this game makes me happy.
You did really well explaining a lot of the issues about BDO. Many are too familiar with the generic MMORPG structure that many have adapted and BDO is trying to change that.
+KennithTee So many are so dependent on the system they are enslaved by that they will resort to regression in order to defend it.
Yeah, and it doesn't make any sense to me since there are so many MMOs just like that out there. Why would one want to keep playing the same thing over and over? It's almost like it's become a religion. (End game raids, end game dungeons, end game content)
What stuns me about this game is how well the game looks...... in the closed beta. I cant imagine how much better the graphics could potentially become in the full game
I like your explanation of the "end game" content of this game, I've never looked at it in this perspective.
I love your reviews yo. Great to have someone speak intelligently about a games good and bad factors fairly while being entertaining to listen to at the same time
You explained the experience of this game a lot better then anyone else!
I'm watching this at work while drinking coffee.
I spit my drink onto my monitor at that quip about Archeage and the "21 people still playing it".
... My boss is looking at me funny.
I envy your job lol
I have seen several of your videos on Black Desert, and only NOW i just realised that you sound Canadian LOL
And that happening when i wasn't even paying attention to the video :) Laughed pretty hard there
You mentioned Asheron's Call in this video. Instantly subscribed. Time to watch more of your Black Desert content. Keep doing what you are doing.
As a man that recently found joy in wrecking ppl in blade and soul, my body is ready for this game
gamers like you makes sure that there is still hope in this genere
that kinda reminds me of those VRMMO in Light Novels :D where the MC is the only one who have uber Equip and Skills while every other dont know how to do it
that intro as you walk in that alley, god damn this game can be pretty as fuck.
Edit : well damn love your commentary, deserves a sub :)
The game looks great :)
But people usually like the "consumable" games because they got limited time to spare on gaming ;)
I really wish you would've touched on the trade system... or lack there of. I get why they eliminated it. But at the same time it makes the game feel pretty lonely. You have to do everything by yourself. For instance, my brother and I want a boat to go fishing. After looking into it, we quickly realized I can't just go get the wood, while he goes and gets the tin etc etc... he has to make it 100% by himself or vice versa. That's just a small example, but it limits a ton of things you can do with friends. You build this amazing empire, but can't share it with friends... feels almost pointless. With that said.. I still really enjoy this game so far.
Medieval authentic theme......running around in a pair of high heels while swinging a sword and dodging attacks.
this game looks really good, i fucking hate dungeon spammers, thats exactly what killer tera.
The more focus on pvp the better, those castles part sound so exiting, on the old lineage 2 that was the insane part
As Korean, Im totally okay with the grinding part lol
+Asian Pursuasion Reminds me of Dragon Raja...entire game was a grind...but we would sit around ina group chatting about shit and forgetting that we were grinding...all the while grinding xp...
Hey everyone that is asking about pve endgame. Be patient please. In the korea version of black desert, they added 2 dungeons to the game and new pvp mechanics. Duam and pearl abyss listens to their community very closely. I say we may get that content update during the next holidays. The end of 2016. So please be patiend :D
I played in the last beta for a bit and had a BLAST with the combat, and the world was breath taking. I did find allot of the mechanics like the worker system, horse breeding, and the node system to be VERY confusing at first and seeing as I didn't have too much time to sit down with the game (was playing the division beta at the same time) I wasn't able to figure them out as well as I wanted to. I've watched a few videos to help guide me through it since and hopefully I'll have a better grasp at launch.
Sounds like a perfect world for roleplaying
Hands down, best review of BDO I've seen. Bravo!
This game sounds a lot like a new version of Everquest. I think this is something I have been waiting for... I really miss the EQ1 glory days.
+Paul Karyakos Everquest Next? :D
Traumglanz that's vapor ware...
Concerning the "no xp from quests" aspect, that isn't a bad thing. I mean, isn't the point of a game to have fun with the exciting quests? If people get stuck on "leveling", they've missed the point of a video game, which is to have fun. Rather, they've made it a chore instead of enjoying themselves. Anyways, I can't wait for the full NA release. Very soon. :P
I heard someone once complain about the lack of customization from the crafting system, and I can see how that would be an issue. I personally couldn't quite figure out the crafting system in the short time I got to play. I did however notice there really needs to be some class tweeking. Valkyrie for instance can one shot just about anything with a shield throw or just a few strikes, but a Giant Berserker will have to sit there and whale on something for a good 15 to 30 seconds to kill it.I'm running on a R9 Fury X and with the high-def graphics on I was only getting about 20 FPS, turned off I was getting 50 to 60. So I know its already been worked on for VR, I'm wondering how badly this will hit our FPS.
God damn it I missed you fevir, can you make some really really long rambling podcasts for us to listen to please.
All of the best features in Black Desert online are the standards of survival games. Classic RPGs for closer to survival games then RPG is up today. I've decided to quit the majority of RPGs especially MMOs in favor of playing survival games. it's my belief and hope that survival games are the future of true role playing.
I agree
I just noted my typos. I was up late and tired.
