why do the powers that be want me to dislike this game?
why do the powers that be want me to like it? i've spent 10+ hours waiting for it to get good
>>736359907it's not made by the chosen people
>>736359907che chinese gacha bot fears the Korean Chad AA experience
>>736359907Asian studios are not beholden to western morals and woke politics. Journalists fear this because they don't want gamers to feel "emboldened and radicalized" when their hit piece against why the chink game is problematic is met with "Shut up, faggot." by the devs.
>>736359907I'll get this game when it's on sale for $25 or less. With plenty of new patches and updates. They botched the release way too hardI'll get this game when it's on sale for $25 or less. With plenty of new patches and updates. They botched the release way too hard.
>>736359907Most of em gave it a 7 out of 10 which is fair and i can't imagine giving it anything more than a 8 because it's not in the leagues of tw3, rdr2, ER
>>736359907Same thing happened with Black Myth Wukong, which was a perfectly solid action game that the usual crowd should've eaten up, but journalists were so expressedly against it that one of them even outright lied and intentionally mistranslated an interview to make the devs look like assholes.
>>736360498>it's not in the leagues of tw3, rdr2, ERName one flaw of CD that isn't present in those three games. Retarded story? Yup, fits the bill for all three. Open world sloppa? Yup, again. Not enough challenge? Right again.
>>736360572Don't forget Where Winds Meet. The entire review was just misinformation and outright lying about mechanics. There is definitely some kind of anti asian bias going on with this journos.
I finally went and bought this shit. It better be good or else I will make sure to become insufferable about it in every single thread that I see even remotely related to this game.
>>736359907feels like every game has to have some seething around it nowadays. its not woke, its not antiwoke, its just a game and people are still fighting over it, shit's weird.
>>736360637They are a lot more coherent and have much better art direction.Both RDR2 and TW3 have really good writing. They are also a lot more immersive than CD.
>>736360637NTA but the dialog in CD might as well be a placeholder. I've never sat though so many cutscenes that I've wanted to skip. And oh but of course you can't even skip them like so many random dumb choices in this game.
>>736360669Whether or end up enjoying it or not I will never understand how you idiots can have endless amounts of gameplay and footage and STILL not know if you'll like a game before purchase.
>>736360740Honestly more than anything is the overhyping it suggesting legitimate shilling and some stupid shit that went on right before launch that just wasn't cool to do. It kept getting compared to games it isn't. DF made a mess like always about it as well. Anyone coming in without taking any of that in account is probably going to find a somewhat decent game. But the asking price is basically taking advantage of a general drought.Also the woke/antiwoke is such a small little bit of nothing that only served a purpose: for grifters to get donos.
No one cares about your ai generated game, kimchi-shitterStop trying to force discussion about it
>>736360938>RDR2>really good writinglol
>>736360987Same but for RDR2 and ER. Witcher 3 was mostly well written but the main story was nonsense.
>>736361106Give me an example of a game with good writing according to your standards.
>>736360637CD isn't written like cinematic movie slop, so the retards here, like >>736360938 >>736360987, think it's bad story telling.People saying LoU's story was good taught me this.
>>736361054This game is supposedly too much about the gameplay and it constantly gets critiziced for a lack of practically everything the fuck else. That's not measurable through videos or streams. Through videos I can see there's some combat that seems flexible. That the character can fly and shoot rainbows out of his dick. I can also measure from it blurry backgrounds and textures, artifacts from scaling and weird trails behind objects.
>>736361201I dunno, I think almost all games are quite infantile in their writing. But that's okay, because they're games and not books or theatre.
>>736361284How about watching footage from a good rig. The game looks absolutely spectacular and I'm tired of consoleshitters complaining about graphics.
>>736361217Almost every quest I've done is literally MMO quest text in animated form but I guess if that's good storytelling for you
>>736361375>consoleshitters complaining about graphics.Consolefags have been utterly conditioned to play at 720p 30fps forever. The ones crying about graphics are literal Jeets trying to run it on their call center work computer.
>>736359907It's from the rival media faction.
>>736360637I think you are confused anon, CD has no story
>>736361375Ah I guess I need to find videos of someone with something better than a 5090 and a 9800X3D, my bad
>>736361106Yeah it's 100 times more engaging that placeholder mmo shit
>>736360498>tw3, rdr2Niggershit walkie talkie "games" for normgroid animals desu. Definitely not in ER league.
>>736361503Is that better or worse than a shitty story?
>>736361217>CD isn't written like cinematic movie slop,It's literally placeholder and barebones shit you fucking retard you don't have to defend every single aspect just because you like the game
>>736361217I've lost count of how many conversations with NPCs in CD could have ended 4 sentences and awkwardly long pauses sooner. This is the worst when doing sidequests because they spend 5 sentences just thanking Kliff and repeating obvious information in different ways.>Can you get me some ore so I can make better weapons?>Great, now that I've got some ore I can make better weapons.>The weapons I'll make will be the best in the continent.>You've really done me a great service.>I don't know what I'd have done without your help.
>>736361537just because you have beefy hardware doesn't mean you know how to configure software correctly. bet you arent even using reno or opti
Reply to this post with your defense that CD has good writing.Tell my how much you love this story.
>>736361453What does outsider mean in this context? Pearl Abyss made Black Desert over a decade ago and even if it's a shitty P2W gook MMO, it made a lot of money and was always having around the MMO scene. This isn't some indie company coming out of nowhere trying to enter the AAA scene and punch up or something.
>>736361453This. Anyone who believes otherwise is a complete fool.
>>736361715Newer studios making AAA games instead of online and AA
>>736361658>bet you arent even using reno or optiIt should not be necessary at all.What kind of cuckoldry is this?It's fully on the devs to fix it, not me. Not some modder.
>>736361715>What does outsider mean in this context?Asian.
>>736361706Nobody said that. We said the games you think have good writing are actually really mediocre and would be laughed at if they were books or movies (which they desperately want to be).
>>736361840I accept your concession.
>>736361792And eastern Europeans
>>736361657This is actually pretty accurate. I've never played the LotR games and gave up on AC but from what I've seen of them it lines up.
>>736360498I cannot understand this fucking wank over rdr2 and tw3, one is a damn movie game and the other only got good with the french dlc
>>736359907This game is far too difficult. The combat is sluggish and a cheap knockoff of Dark Souls.The story is confusing and doesn't explain anything ever.The exploration is too difficult. There's nothing hinting at where I'm supposed to go.
>>736361789Stupid nigga you are gaming on Windows you already have to go through a humilation ritual to get worse performance than a 7900XTX.
>>736361657this is right about those of the games I've played on it, which isn't many
>>736361789Says the man thats already DLSS swapping.
>>736361947One is an immersive and beautiful cowboy simulator with an amazing world.The other has one of the best fantasy worlds and features some of the best writing and characters in any game.
>>736362001Not to defend the game but exploration is not point A to point B. You should be able to find some way into places but there's nothing more cancerous than the quest mark and fast travel system of modern RPGs.
>>736361947A lot of normalfaggots love movie games and RDR2 is that idea personified. Tons of man hours and money poured into shit that has zero impact on actual gameplay or making the game less of a boring slog. Expect GTA6 to continue this trend. As for Witcher 3, I never finished it because the god awful combat just kept repelling me every time I tried to keep going.
>>736362001The brownskins itt won't understand your sarcasm.
>>736361873No. Both the kurwas and vavra kissed the ring. They are neutralized. Big Japanese players like Square, Bamco and Capcom are also infected, with only smaller AA strugglers gasping for air.But now, all of a sudden, Chinese and Korean barbarians that used to only make GAAS MMO mobile gachasloppa are invading the single-player/console AAA/AA market. That was western poz territory. Now these yet uninfected giants are giving the people what they want - providing not just an alternative chud product but also an example to other devs.
>>736362052>>736362016Wrong on both accountsI'm describing the footage I've watched on what rig, you subservient midgets.
>>736359907western studios want to be lazy in their own bubblethey tolerate asian games as long as they "stay in their lane" only making mmo or gachabut once asian countries prove they can make similar or better AAA vidya its over. the west is already facing shit tons of layoffs from studios or outlets
>>736362245Western journo were still hostile towards WH as well saber and some other studio that make lower budget games
>>736359907It's led by a normal guy with not sexual or racial abnormalities, which sends journos into a broyges.
>>736362069You need to be 18 or older to post on this website.
>>736362409Sure thing dwag, ubi rip-off is definitely better than tw3 and rdr2
>>736361656>CDFeels like minimal effort was put in story, but guess what? Its ok, world and gameplay is fine.>rdr and witcherIt feels like story is big element of selling both title, big effort was put into it.Still its alright at best and shit most of the time. Literal teenage book level of writing.I played few games for story, planscape or movie games like uncharted, mainly because I have soft spot for india jones flicks. Planescape is a bit a exeption, other than thqt Its kind of guily pleasure. If you play games for story, especialy smth like witcher or rdr2 than i have bad news for you. Youll better off reading some good fanfic.
>>736362517I don’t think either of those games has writing better than good books, but when paired with beautiful worlds and some gameplay, it’s an entirely different experience
I think the game is fun and you're a homosexual if you care about some failed Hollywood script in your games.
>I'm afraid>*kills 50000000 people*Amazing writing bravo I cried when the horse died because sad music was playing bloody benchod.
>>736362636It’s not only writingthere’s also cohesion, art direction, world building, and making your quests meaningful instead of “now kill 7 more bandits because I don’t know”
>>736362636I'm not asking for much but if you're going to force me to watch cutscenes or listen to some fuck on a horse then make it worth listening to instead of me just questioning why they even bothered animating it.
>>736362016I'd rather get buggered daily than use linux.
>>736362695As opposed to >now kill 700 more bandits
>>736362748There's not a single "Kill X bandits" quest in the game. The closest to this is freeing the quarries, but even those have actual goals in them like destroying the buildings and fighting the respective boss, or even sending your mooks to do the dirty work.
>>736362636"it's fun" is the last refuge of people with shit opinions
>>736362863Nobody praised or plays the game for the story though. Gotcha again.
>Do a bunch of camp quests.>The main quest giver finds 30 different ways to say "I'm happy we're finding more greymanes!" which is the only thing he says.>Doesn't just say it over and over again, says it slightly different each time.>Each time you find a new greymane, they have the exact same reaction>Game requires you to complete hours upon hours of quests for barely any reward.That's my main issue with the game, I wanna go out and find cool shit but most of the time its so hidden you can't even find it without using a guide, or the items you do find are just stupid and not worth it.
>>736362873They are all essentially “kill bandits” quests because the writing isn’t good enough to actually engage you in the story and actions.
>>736362625So you admit that without presentation their story is shit?Because rdr2 story is antifun flick written by western genre deconstrutors. Its fun only for the people that dig this genere and want to rp as a "real" cowboy. I agree about beautiful world but when story is constructed in sucha way to fuck up with fun factor and player (especialy when you compare it to rdr1) it becomes worse offender than mmo base story, even if the rockstars ones is "better" written.Witcher on the other hand is just bad fanfiction tier based on mid fantasy novel and im polish. Game Witcher world feels like an atraction park, you cant walk 50m without running into some moster, bn, treasure or some other scripted encounter. It doesnt feel like a real world (in comparison to rdr or CD).Of course i agree with you, story adds if even takes the medium to another level if its done right, but both of the games that youve mentioned arent an examples of good story.
>>736362990In that case every single Witcher 3 quest is just "kill X" too.
>>736359965You're almost there anon. Another 20+ hours and you'll have adjusted to it's crap factor of a control scheme and learned to navigate it's backasswards UI.
>>736361657Fairly accurate about the games I've played.
>>736363678>Just few more hours and you'll stockholm syndrome yourself into liking this shit
>>736362956Shit that get on my nerves>yes>of courseWhy thry didnt record more variation if they repeat it like a 100 times>greymanes being asholesI understnad that you put someone like yann, but Im tired of all of them beside marius, being pasive agressive, beggers, dunkards, load and obnoxious, it makes me feel tired.
>>736363545Yeah but they feel different and more interesting because the writing is good and characters are interesting >>736363436Idk about all that but they are more than engaging so i like Also don't ignore the art direction that's also important
>>736361657Oblivion has a better world than Skyrim but the gameplay is worse due to scaling. Elden Ring has better writing than Bitcher and Kangdom Cum (especially 2). It's just that it doesn't have the hand-holding cinematic presentation to make it more digestible for retards.
>>736364270I love From's games, but the absolute brainlets who gargle their bare bones approach to storytelling and lore which need youtube essays to unravel are a different breed.Sekiro is their only soulslike with a coherent story and fleshed out characters.
>>736364270Oblivion's world is nice but not that interesting Also lore and memey dialogues=/= good writing Tw3 and KCD are a lot more engaging during the dialogue segments
>>736359907Is this some kind of reverse psychology thing where you discourage people from trying the game by acting like a retard?
>>736359907You’re free to like anything you want anon. Critics just rate a game based on its merits and Crimson Desert is sorely lacking on that front; it is a soulless amalgamation of mechanics copied from games and implemented haphazardly across everything in an Ubisoft open world with combat from pre-Origins era AC. In my view, it’s a 3/10. Journalists in fact wanted to rate it lower, but couldn’t, because of editorial teams. A bit unfortunate, but it is what it is. It’s okay to like it, but its glazing is sort of like glazing McDonalds. You CAN do it, but people would just look at you weirdly for it.
>>736359907Game sets the bar for open world exploration, variety, and game depth way too high. If Western AAA studios had to compete with CD they'd all die.
>>736364802
>>736364980>Muh player count
>>736364980The “human” bit and Durandal RP is cringe but I agree with what’s said here. In what world has popularity translated to quality? Is Pokemon the best game series in history because of how popular it is? I love Pokemon btw, Pokopia and TLA are amazing - but quality has always been an issue with the franchise since the transition to 3D. And yet it remains popular amongst the masses.
>>736364910Set the bar heigh by copying them?
>>736365251For all the problems Crimson Desert has, it's open world and the things to do it in are not one of them.
>>736364593>brainlets who gargle their bare bones approach to storytelling and lore which need youtube essaysI don't watch jewtubers. Your pic is some unfunny reddit niggershit though. Subhumans that think "LE ZANZIBART" is funny or relevant criticism should be raped to death because that meme comes from ass annihilated jealous mutt that wrote Borderlands.>Sekiro is their only soulslike with a coherent story Sure. So what? Story, plot, lore, world building, dialogue, characterization etc. are all part of the writing. And ER mogs Gaydom Cum in Men.>>736364687>Oblivion's world is nice but not that interestingTrue. But it's near on par with Skyrim when it comes to open world design. Civilian NPC AI is much better than Skyrim's and factions are much better - this contributes to the world. You do not play Oblivion for gameplay/combat mechanics. I'm just saying its placement in the diagram is wrong as far as the "world" is considered. Either Oblivion's or Skyrim's.>Also lore and memey dialogues=/= good writingWrong. Next time rewrite the "writing" to be "plot" specifically because lore and dialogue is LITERALLY writing. >Tw3 and KCD are a lot more engaging during the dialogue segments>engaging Yeah like I said, ER lacks the walkie talkie presentation to make it easily digestible for drooling retards, thanks for backing that up.
>>736365328You can make pin board for pretty much everything present in CD
>>736365334You sound like a total faggot.
>>736365627And you sound like a redditor twitter tourist, newnigger.
>>736365334>lore and dialogue is LITERALLY writingAnd ER has very Little of that and it's mostly there to add to the atmosphere, Very little you are actually going to engage withYou can just say you prefer minimal storytelling instead of writing all that
>>736365334>Actually having abstract mumbo jumbo and item description is better than having actually well written characters and story lines I am sure you figured it all out on your own by reading all the 130 item descriptions
>>736364910>If Western AAA studios had to compete with CD they'd all die.Reminds me of when BG3 came out and we got a wave of cope articles>"This is an exception guys, d-don't start expecting all games to be like this haha, or else we might all get laid off">6 years pass>gets laid offKWAB
>>736365334damn it's terminal
>>736362245yeah, now if only they could figure out how to make a good game
>>736359907who cares, it's great fun
>>736368321sorry, meant this one - exploring the mountains, fighting heavy armored bastards & their flying butt-buddies, helping a witch to stabilize the world with sky lasers.
>>736368245It'll take some time to have better games on average than the Japanese devs which have multi-generational experience, profitable market infrastructure and talent. Japanese are still kings of this medium and the sooner they shake off the westacuck influencers the better.But Korean and Chinese devs are already proving to be better than the westaslop peddlers. They are also on a more promising trajectory. For example it's safe to say that Stellar Blade 2, Crimson Desert 2, Black Myth Zhong Kui, AI Limit 2 etc. will be better than their predecessors. It's natural that they'll improve as well as sprout more IPs; However we DON'T know that Mass Effect 4, Battlefield 7, Fable 4, Halo 7, Assassin's Creed Hexe etc. will be better than their predecessors, in fact it's almost certain that they'll be worse.That is what I mean by trajectories and changing trends.
>>736365562>You can make pin board for pretty much everything present in CDThere is a map for that. It looks like this.
>>736361305>I think almost all games are quite infantile in their writing.>he doesn't know
