Same 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.

Name 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.

They 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.

>>736360637
NTA 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.

Honestly 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.

>>736361054
This 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.

I 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.

I'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.

What 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 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.

A 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.

No. 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.

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.

There'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.

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.
>>
>>736362873
They are all essentially “kill bandits” quests because the writing isn’t good enough to actually engage you in the story and actions.
>>
>>736362625
So 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.
>>
>>736362990
In that case every single Witcher 3 quest is just "kill X" too.

Oblivion 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.

You’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.

I 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 interesting
True. 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 writing
Wrong. 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

It'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.

Did my pic scramble you from reading what I wrote? It's there just to show the current consumer climate. It shows what the majority of normal people chose in the same release period. A clear divide that shows where the market is headed. Bringing up those 2 established franchises in a triggered kneejerk reaction because CCU numbers scared you is a dismissive tactic that journalists have been employing this past week in order to cope with the grim reality.

COD and Nintendo games are basically products in the same vein as yearly FIFAs. They are not relevant to what I was saying. These games don't siphon the consumers.

That pic shows more than just raw CCU numbers. Context and time frame are important. Marathon and Crimson Desert, these 2 new IPs, are perfect representatives of their respective industries. Marathon was a highly glazed and expensive western AAAA GAAS first party title after its prestigious western developer was acquired for 3.7 billion dollars. Every journalist pushed it. It flopped. Right on the back of Concord - another insanely expensive western GAAS bomb. These games are not profitable because their budgets and profit margins are mismanaged - they keep sinking western studios which are already hollowed out and fading (getting enslaved by Saudis, Tencent etc.)
Crimson Desert on the other hand is almost an inversion. A retooled multiplayer game that went all in on the single player format instead, from a developer than never dipped their toes in this uncharted territory traditionally held on lock by the westerners. So it came out, basically out of nowhere, and sold 2 million in one day and approaching 5. The market has picked a side.

Again: That's the trend. That is the trajectory. Western flops and layoffs as opposed to successful Asian single-player games. This is where we're headed.

not a western studio so they have an inherent east vs west thing going on

Also more of a sandbox which makes movie game story enjoyers seethe.

Also CD has shitloads of content. Western studios often like to keep content as focused as possible in order to minmax the dev process,

also they dont like giving players high expectations for next games, having "content" bloat ups the anti for future games.


so basically they are mad some foreigners are making them look bad and raising gamer expectations.

I strongly disagree, the variance in tone across biome is crazy, there are so many unique small pockets that are totally different than anywhere else, ive actually never seen a world this size and also this handcrafted. Serpent island, beighen and delesiya alone are more interesting and varied than all of skyrims bio diversity, and all of the witcher 3’s base maps, not to mention the desert, mountains and abyss.
Go to a random warehouse in rural demensis and you’ll see more attention to detail that the inn in whiterun.

I'm genuinely convinced it's Nintendofags who are seething that this game literally did what ToTK failed to do.

>BoTW + Actual interesting shit to see + Good Combat + Enemy Variety

That's all Crimson Desert turned out to be and Zeldafags can't stand it. I imagine you have some Elden Ringfags mad too because this game also has better combat and shit to do in the open world outside of double jumping on your horse from one boss fight to the next reskinned Catacomb boss fight. The funniest thing is that this game even does puzzles better than BoTW/ToTK. Zelda, a franchise essentially built around exploration/puzzles got absolutely curb stomped American History X style by some Koreaboo MMO developers.

As for being remembered, i'm pretty sure Baldur's Gate 3 mogged ToTK into irrelevancy. In fact, ToTK was so dogshit it killed the entire zelda general and i've yet to see a ToTK thread hit the bump limit in over a year.

Meanwhile you WILL be in this Crimson Desert thread seething until it hits the bump limit alongside the other 3+ Crimson Desert threads on the catalogue right now.

That's why you're in a Zelda thread gushing over it instead of a Crimson Desert thread seething right?

Go replay your BotW 1.5 and quit wasting your life crying over a game your Switch can't even play you little consolecuck. I'm sure there's a Korok seed you missed somewhere. It's actually hilarious how that game seemingly took longer to develop than BoTW only to be a total asset flip.

They even brought the same fucking armor sets back lmfao.

I just dunno how you can criticize the locations, that's literally what everyones gushing over even the people who hate the game admit the locations are plentiful and cool as fuck. Enemy variety I could see you thinking it sucks if you've not left hernand like most people playing the game.

Locations is just a straight lie and makes me think you've genuinely just stolen someones screen play time and passed it off as your own. What do you think is bad about the locations and have you been to the other areas?

Yea no shit nigger, it's a typical high fantasy setting.

Your grassy fields, mountainscapes etc. The fuck do you find "not generic" in a genre/setting that's been done to death.
