beat the game, everything past chapter 8 was complete unmitigated ass
Early game, exploration, chapters 1-8: 9/10
chapters 9-12 and all those shitty fucking trash bosses 4/10
The end of the game really soured me on things

>>736721379
Does the game still unlock new mechanics with those last chapters?

>>736721449
yeah you get a robot that fucking sucks cock and a dragon you get to use for 5 minutes before the game ends and mandatory dragon boss fights with wind making you unable to control the faggot

>>736721135
Glad I stopped around 15 hours in. It was fun but if I finish it, I cannot see myself ever replaying it. The annoying story and lack of build variety makes it hard to imagine going back to. It's a 7/10 right now with higher potential, so I will wait to get the maximum experience in some months from now.

>>736721524

>>736721356
>I was just hoping they'd add specialized storage you can craft out of this evening and now they are.
I genuinely don't know how they didn't have this in the game at launch. They already had complaints about very limited storage from game reviewers and journalists after 1 day of them playing.

It also just shows that no one on the dev team were apparently experienced with survival/gathering/crafting games, since they borrow some stuff from the genre, but without having enough storage + magic chests that you can craft directly from + actual sorting of inventories.

>>736721379
I'm about to be done with the main story and I will say some of these later bosses suck fucking dick. I was loving the game until I had to fight a fucking wicker teepee that shits fire aoes or 1 shots me with a barely telegraphed charge. It took WAY too long to kill just because of the amount of shit on screen, it wasn't even that hard, just gay.

Of course I have to finish the story because I got the prompt about returning to Pywel, which I thought would happen when we retook it, so all the actual fun stuff is on hold

>Hexe Marie never reappears
what was even the point

Damn those are some good changes. Looking forward to Damiane and Oonkga being improved, they're pretty useless right now.

I wish there was a way to un-ring bells, because it fucking blows how it removes fog of war, so you can't keep track of where you have/haven't explored. Ringing bells should keep the fog of war, but just overlay icons on top of it.

>>736722084
>Ringing bells should keep the fog of war, but just overlay icons on top of it.
hmm, idk. on one hand i get what you mean by it ruining exploration, but you can just choose not to touch it. meanwhile, there are quest/chest items that can reveal all of a region's markers at once. they're described as items that grant region knowledge

>>736722216
they honestly should've borrowed from BDO's chest system.

oh another thing I thought was pretty shit; all the areas I liberated while exploring got magically refilled when a quest took me there.
I think if I had known I would have not liberated castles and forts at all until a story quest took me there

>>736722019

How do you solve that kind of thing in an open world game like this though? Seems like either you have to just block off the place entirely so you can't even enter in the first place, or you'd have to put up some sort of spoiler like "hey, there's going to be a quest here later".

Both seem like horrible solutions.

Somebody mentioned a few threads ago that electricity is nothingburger. But actually zapping good. It stuns bears/big elites, some bosses etc.

These threads have kinda fallen off... its just the same handful of people spamming the same videos they have posted 50+ times already.

This game doesn't really have an organic community, its very shill coded.

>>736721135
Kek thanks for betatesting paypiggies.

>>736722539
it's just my personal gripe about having to do an area 'twice'. You're right that if the quest auto completed other people would bitch instead; but I will point out there a LOT of quests in the game that autocomplete if you're ahead of the step or killed someone already and etc.
An example is I killed the 4 retarded moonfaggots before the noble guy even gave me a quest so the first time I talked to him after being summoned he talked about shit I had no clue what he was talking about and said "Great job!" and that was that

>>736722539
>you'd have to put up some sort of spoiler like "hey, there's going to be a quest here later".
it does that in game though, if you check the map and the marker is red, it will say that it's occupied by x forces and is part of y quest

>>736721135
there is unironically 0 exploring in the game.

you can find generic chests with randomgenerated loot, a generic shiny chest with a reskinned weapon that's worse than your starting sword, or abyss cubes you can farm from bandits, or a shitty puzzle that takes 5 min to do even though you know the solution, which also gives you an abyss cube OR a shiny box with shitty randomgenerated loot OR a reskinned weapon worse than your starting sword

>>736722175
so you rushed the main story despite not liking the game retard lmao

>>736722652
you're confusing the terms exploration and rewards. there is a ton of exploration in this game, but a lack of meaningful rewards, as everything is mostly cubes. still, the fun about exploration is the journey itself, not the destination.

>>736722692

>>736722649
>it does that in game though, if you check the map and the marker is red, it will say that it's occupied by x forces and is part of y quest
It's super inconsistent. I'm doing a 100% run and sometimes there will be camps where it says it's related to a quest, which means that if you go there and clear the camp, you will then complete that quest. Other times, it doesn't say anything. And in both cases, there is also the chance that there STILL will be a quest there later again, causing you to have to re-clear things.

Yeah, electricity let me push into Demeniss with confidence- and made the spirit regen gears REALLY fucking valuable.

It's really weird that a retard who hasn't played the game is trying to defend it from someone who has
Anyways, I hope on their next game that it doesn't suffer from the dev hell this one did. I think without the pacing issues of the Greymane camp shit, a more polished last 1/3rd of the game, and a story that is more cohesive, they will really create something amazing

ye spirit runs out really fast with imbuing attacks finally I have a reason to raise it more.

>>736723072
you played it for 0

>>736723105
The aerial meteor kick is great for getting spirit back since it's a huge AOE and kills tons of mooks. I don't even think it costs stamina.

Is it better to put like 4 different atacks + crit into your weapon + fire?

>nooooo you have to say the game is perfect or else you hate it you have to YOU HAVE TO
I don't know what this retardation is called but fuck off, retard
>>736723105
just use focus mode a lot since it trivializes most bosses and you'll always have enough for 2 imbues after a parry

>>736723213
more attacks = more stamina drained, so I did 2 R2s, 2 crit, 1 stamina leech
life and spirit drain suck cock but stamina drain is very noticeable.

bad change imo it needs a on/off switch or get triggered after you finish the main quest or something

>>736723213
stack three 3crit and pick whatever attack skills you want, more than two attack skill gear on the same skill will increase the stamina/spirit drain by too much
but for the light attack gears you can stack it high since it doesnt drain stamina

the system is in place primarily for bounty hunting, which requires you to tackle and subdue bounties before you can tie them up- but nothing stops you from doing it to enemy combatants or civilians. all you need to do is crouch, which will allow you to tackle almost anyone.

>>736723306
did you? Most people seem to be of the opinion that the bosses especially fall off after Demeniss

>>736721379
Same - game was, obviously, rushed past some point, leaving desert from FUCKING GAME TITLE untouched says something.
gookos fellas lost budget on something, prob implementing some useless annoying mini games and mechanics, bosses are mostly puzzles but at the heart they just another soul-less roll / parry sloppa.
I was expecting something more about combat itself, some game mode with hordes, reclaiming fortress or something that utilizes many combos, builds and mechanics at the end game. Or some menu game, buffing gear, refining it, building it like in most mmo's and black desert, but without fucking 0.00001% chance to enchant.
ALSO
Most, like 80% of abyss gears, are total trash, nerfed or never buffed.

>>736723520
nothing in this game was hard whatsoever, retard. I did not use a single pill on anything outside of Hernan except for Ator, which you did not kill 100%
Nice self report.

I've heard CD described as a 'single player MMO' (Not saying this is a negative term), is that a fair assessment?

>>736723374
It's going to be a shit change because it's just fighting for no reason now. They need to tie it to part of an actual basic bitch 4x sim in the background

>>736723535
The last real boss (not the flying fag) is actually pretty good imo. Everything else in chapter 9+ is kinda shit.
I killed the tanks with focus arrows+a single stab each. I don't even remember what the Marni boss in the fortress even did.

>>736723554
>Most, like 80% of abyss gears, are total trash
Yeah, this is true sadly. The R1 ones are all pretty shit. The stab ones are all also super weak but I read they were OP in the journalist version, which is why they got gutted.

>>736723575
he doesn't know who Ator is because he did not play the game

>>736723580
No, outside of some of the side quests being mmo tier. The only thing MMO like really is the size of the game world. Mechanically it's nowhere near as deep as an mmo, especially not black desert.

>>736723452
>bad change imo
It's a great change for people who want to do a 100% run and complete all challenges. There's shit in the game where you can unironically get hardlocked on a 100% run if you didn't know that you should be doing X challenge at Y area, before that shit never exists again. One thing that instantly comes to mind is the "kill 5 enemies at once with a cannon" challenge which is only possible to do in like 3 situations in the entire game, and if you have already completed the main story, you'll have cleared 2 of those.

The very basic side quests are essentially fetch quest tier. Some of the house side quests are actually pretty good and lead to cool bosses. The main quest starts off shit, gets good, then goes back to shit near the end. Most MMO's have horrible exploration and that's probably the best part about CD.
Some of the puzzles are beyond baffling and others are dead simple which is nice to have a mix.

>>736723647
>I killed the tanks with focus arrows
So you cheesed them as did everyone who fights them. I think that proves it's a pretty shit fight.
Did anyone here fight them not using arrow spam?
Everyone I see fighting the gold dragon just spams arrows there, too.
It's all explosive arrow spam to get the fights done and over with

>>736723656
The most consistently useful one I've found is the spirit one you get from Cursed Knight Fontaine that summons that susanoo looking fucker with r1+b, you can spam evade slash and he absolutely fucks bosses stagger bars.

>>736723780
>Cheese
You're a retard. The underside is the weakpoint.

>>736723750
if youve come to the endgame where you cleared out hundreds of hours of camps you should play something else you finished the game
having camps get taken back takes away the realism and feeling of liberating an area completely

>>736723580
It was developed that way, although considering the world around it does also have a lot of elements that prove that this game is meant to be a bit too big and "content filled" for single player.
that is to say a lot of it is... just bland and abundant.

the turf war on /v/ is crimson desert vs dragon dogma 2.
on places like reddit, it's rdr 2.

>>736723750
There's a cannon in Deminiss by the main gate and you can aggro the guards anytime.

I am convinced they never tested any of the bosses. there is no flow it's just attrition and spamming food items. exploring is fun though.

>>736723821

That makes very little sense.
RDR2 is a different type of game. The only thing that resembles it is the fact it's open world and you can do a lot of stupid shit no one should really bother about (I mean really, cleaning up chimneys?). So it's the "immersive" elements that might be similar. The rest is not comparable at all.
RDR2 looks a lot better

>>736723886
I saw a video on twatter of someone posting their boss fight gameplay and shitting on the game, and it's just what you would expect - idiotic dodging when there's nothing that needs to be dodged, blocking at point blank the strongest multihit attacks you're supposed to keep distance from and dodge etc, all while mashing the food button which immediately handicaps IRL dexterity to play properly.

>>736723580
>I've heard CD described as a 'single player MMO' (Not saying this is a negative term), is that a fair assessment?
Not really. The only real MMO-like thing is that some of the filler quests are "go talk to NPC please" followed by "<NPC name> says you are a poopy head" followed by "please collect 5 hide from a bear's ass to show you are not a poopy head".

The other one is that some people might find gear upgrading to be a bit grindy if they haven't been collecting materials as they go along and suddenly they want to upgrade something and it requires like 100 ores. But as long as you collect as you go, there's no problem.

>>736723940
no, that's the problem, it was very good, and then not good at the end.

I didn't think much of the final chapters either, I did enjoy the last three boss fights and the ending well enough though, surprised I'm still playing 30hr after beating the story but it's genuinely one of the best game worlds I've played in for a very long time so will likely remain my GOTY.

I think a bunch of the abyss puzzles were designed when force palm jumping wasn't a thing. So much stuff is trivialized since you can just leap over it.

>>736724115
I think an 8/10 is still great; the game just has a lot of issues for me that prevents it from truly rising to the top of The Best Games Ever list.

While mid-air you just stab towards where you want to go. If I want to get ontop of a huge building or scale a mountain, I just 3x palm and then start spamming air stab while aiming up into the sky, for example.

>>736724061
The nintendo bonus.

>>736724534
really as simple as that, huh?
i must be fucking up the timing.

>>736724413
Originally when you did a stab attack in the air you could travel stupidly far because of fps fuckery. The devs fixed the bug but put in a new animation where your character can chain stab attack in the air for movement. It drains a ton of stamina but it's really useful for repositioning.

>>736724458
you can get magic by chapter 4 so I would start by going to where you fought that old guy in the Abyss and then a cutscene made you leave. That'll start you off

>>736724458
The road to freeze imbuement starts at the big spire you can see from Calphade.

>>736724616
Make sure that you have the actual Aerial Stab ability, not just the normal Stab. And sometimes it also doesn't work in certain peaceful places like cities, so you have to manually unsheathe your weapon first, then do the 3x palm, and then the stabs after.

Why the fuck would you take criticism of the game as some kind of personal attack? It is a decent game, it can be better. The devs agree and are working on it.

>>736724519
I just realized thanks to that screenshot I was wearing the frost resist armor the entire end game and not my normal armor with my abyss gears in it
LOL
That means I only had Flames of Judgement socketed and not Volcanic Eruption so I was doing like 60% of normal damage with it. I guess that shows you how overpowered fire is if I didn't even notice it on the final two bosses

It's a shame the story is a broken schizophrenic mess.

We must be seeing different threads

I guess to wrap up my thoughts on this game before I go start up Death Stranding 2, I know the devs said they're going to work on this game for a while but I'm super interested to see if they'll do another one like this, maybe with a little less dev hell to work on pacing and story.
There's so much good stuff in the format of this game and the things they have to not use it again or build on it in some way.
Other open world games are going to have a hard time filling these shoes I think.

>>736725529
Enhance your filters.
>>736725547
Maybe DokeV will launch with an inventory system.

130 hours in, I kind of wish I waited until all the forthcoming additions were applied before playing for the first time- but being part of the pioneer phase of an exploring game where nobody knows a damn thing about what lies where... that was worth it.

You can get those to 12%, which can actually be a huge DPS increase if you min/max around it. But there's not really anything in the game where it's ever required to do so.

Puzzles aren’t problem, the problem is the game not even hinting at HOW you can get it.
For example accessing abyss via spire of stars in Hernand and doing a few puzzles gives you electricity, doing abyss which is accessed from the spire in Pailune gives you frost etc.

Like it’s really not that hard to at least give a hint. Not to mention they don’t even tell you that you can go back to the abyss after a certain cutscene in chapter 4 and just keep doing a few of those puzzles to unlock your first element which is not that far in the game.
Would it be hard to say hey that dude threw you out but that was just for the cutscene you can go back and keep doing puzzles for loot! Or something along those lines.
But no they don’t even bother so you can spend hundreds of hours without knowing how to unlock elements kek

Yeah I know, who gives a shit when most are giving you like 20 silver. I just want the quests done. You should be able to just kill them and teleport and complete the quest, having to turn in the body completely defeats the purpose

RDR2 has fewer gameplay features but it simulates the world at a much higher level than CD. i remember playing RDR2 back closer to release, I shot at a guy and missed and he flinched and dropped his gun, which went off when it hit the ground and subsequently shot him in the leg. stuff like webm related too. not to say CD doesnt do a good job in other areas, it kinda blew my mind when i sent my mooks to build a bridge and then i later stumbled upon them in the world actually building a useable bridge

I also want to learn the "hit-a-muthafucka-with-another-muthafucka" technique, that looks insanely fun, especially in a crowd ;dd

I don't think so. They'll despawn and another pet will take their place but they'll respawn eventually and keep the trust that you already built up.
I tried to tame a greyhound at the fighting pit during one of the Yann quests, fucked up the tame and only got it to 75 trust. It despawned when I left and I kinda forgot about it. Happened to wander past the area again yesterday, about 30 hours of play time later and saw the same greyhound with the 75 trust. Scooped him up.

We weren't talking about completed/non-completed states of quests per se. We were more talking about the scenarios where you explore, find a camp before you were intended to find it, then clear it, and then later on the camp is then reverted back to its pre-clear state because a quest now is active there and there's a boss in there suddenly.

It feels a bit weird how you can get the "CONGRATS, YOU LIBERATED X" with a whole cutscene and everything, and then 10 minutes later you find an NPC that gives you a quest telling you to clear the place that you just cleared.

If you kill "Jack the bandit" and then get the cutscene that says liberated, then talk to an npc and have to kill the same guy again then the npc should just credit you the quest done with a simple line of dialogue. If the npc gives you a quest to kill "George the knight" in the same area, then its just unfortunate timing and you can't do much other than meta game and guess that you probably want to look for a quest npc before clearing any camps.

Once I realized every boss is a complete joke as long as you spam the arrow strafe move, the game just became way too easy. This game clearly wasn't balanced around the character having ranged attacks.

>>736734116
The problem with this game is that most of the bosses don't exist until you actually have a quest for the boss. So you can clear red camp that's taken over by bandits -> it becomes liberated and occupied by good guys and guards -> 10 minutes later pick up quest to kill boss in that camp -> camp instantly reverts back to pre-cleared state and now the boss is there.

It's either a weird design choice or something they completely overlooked. The ideal situation would just be to have those bosses always exist in the world and let people stumble into them even without the quest, and then like you said, just have a "give player credit for quest" flagging system so that when you encounter the quest, Kliff can just go "heh, already killed <insert boss name>".

>>736721379
Some of the end bosses suck but in terms of exploration the end of the game is by far the best it gets.

Early to mid game bosses were actually fun and interactive in hindsight if you already understan how the combat flow.

Considering how few bugs/glitches there are in such a gigantic game, they definitely had tons of playtests. Now as for if they actually listened to stuff outside of just hunting for bugs/glitches, that's a whole different discussion.

I don't know. The game didn't even allow you to store items in your ITEM STORAGE when it released. I can't imagine shit like that wasn't reported so I highly doubt the game was playtested all that much outside of just bug hunting. there was a ton of obvious shit like that which was patched pretty quickly on release so it makes me wonder how the hell you dont catch shit like that with even a bare minimum amount of play testing
