I am forgotten
It had a good two months
>>740750443more like two weeks lol
im burnt the fuck out honestly. all these little updates do nothing to make me interested again, not even treasure hunting or anything, not even the new mini games interest me which the prizes are probably just lamps and dolls. it needs a proper dlc and story fixes/content, ng+, tons of new gear at the very least, not new pets or mounts, not tweaks to reblockading or any of that shit
It's a weird feeling. This game was not released in early access and yet my attitude towards it is the same as Palworld. I'll play it again when they release 1.0.
And yet, you keep spamming threads. Curious.
Why would I play a game that people play for hundreds of hours and forget about instantly, literal slop
>>740751153It's one of those weird games that's not live service but they update it like one.
For a purely single player game its clearly not forgotten though. 20k players on steam rn, thats higher than any other purely SP game rn i think
>>740750223I still got to play it I’m just waiting it’s like 20 bucks. No way I’m paying 70 dollars for single player black desert
With all of the updates they just convinced me to not bother playing it until it’s done.
>>740750223Is it cracked yet?
>>740750223that's because the korean shills stopped shilling it and are now shilling that stellar blade sequel
>>740750223I stopped because some other game came out and I never returned. I still have a very high opinion of it and want to get beyond the first area, but it’s really long.
>>740751464There are currently 25k people playing Skyrim, a 15-year-old single player game.
>>740750223it's hard to get a fair assessment on this gameis it just another ubislop gookslop for mindless open world collectible retardsis it le cruzay juggleslop for action fansis it an actual adventure game with meaningful exploration, puzzles and discoveriesit looks like it's trying to be dragon's dogma, ass creed, botw, elden ring, all at once, with kitchen sink approach instead of focused design
I'll be back when they add character creation tbdesu
>zoomers cant understand the concept of "play once and move on">everything must be a live servicei pity them, they grew up highly indoctrinated by (((them)))
>>740754068PA turned it into a live service game so it’s their fault
>>740753867It's mostly >is it an actual adventure game with meaningful exploration, puzzles and discoveriesWith a decent dynamic action combat system. Not quite on the level of a proper character action game, but better than these types of games usually are at combat. The Ubisoft comparison only holds water if you describe every open world game that way.
>>740750223The constant updates kept breaking my mods so I put it down but it was an amazing game.>>740753867>it's hard to get a fair assessment on this gameNo it's not you're just mentally retarded kek.
>>740753867It's just contentslop, where you just mindlessly repeat the same actions over and over to fill out a checklist. Essentially it's just busywork in video game format, that being said it is still better than any other modern AAA game released it the last decade, but you won't remember you ever played it in 5 years time
>>740750223>didn't even get a real denuvo crackOwarida
>>740753867>is it just another ubislop gookslop for mindless open world collectible retardsnot really it feels more like RDR2+BOTW>is it le cruzay juggleslop for action fansyes>is it an actual adventure game with meaningful exploration, puzzles and discoveriesyes>it looks like it's trying to be dragon's dogma, ass creed, botw, elden ring, all at once, with kitchen sink approach instead of focused designyes and more, so much more, but it's still focused
>>740753867All of the above. A play session for me is like>I’ll go to that gray area on the map>oh a waterfall let me follow it for hidden caves>mountain goat murdering spree>do a puzzle>glide off a mountain into bandit camp>do a questThen somehow it’s been 4 hours
>>740753827Skyrim has a large community of autistic people who play Skyrim and nothing else.
>>740755342>I'll go to that little grey area in the corner of a region that I have mostly explored, see what's there>hours pass???
>>740755530What’s your point here?
>>740755530I would spend an hour working along that coastline in your pic. Going up the mountain behind him, getting sidetracked, mining ore along the way, going to the rocky island, etc
>>740755342The game has a real fucked up way of throwing your gaming time off in a good way. It’s like a time machine.
>>740755657Just mirroring what he said.>>740755773Yeah, I did.
>>740753867You can just pirate the game yet you keep repeating this post
>>740756134Nice screenshot I wish I had the hardware strong enough to use the full path tracing. The lighting without it indoors and outdoors looks terrible at night
>>740750223Nah just playing the new poe2 league and waiting for the sale
>>740756383Meant to say ray reconstruction
>>740756383It's only a thousand dollars for a 5070Ti anon
>>740756383It's cool that I finally have a game to look forward to testing out with new gpus, I can run RR but I have to upscale the shit out of the game to get a decent frame rate so it's blurry. Playing it at native resolution looks insanely good but it'll be years before I have a gpu for that and I look forward to it.
>>740754068the people who buy a game at launch and play it + move on are effectively paying the developer to playtest the beta for the game that I will eventually play 2-3 years from now.
>>740756632nta but i have the series x version and your webm literally looks like a different game
>>740755869My only complaint is I feel like I haven’t made a scratch. It means it has a lot to give, but I don’t feel that satisfying progression after a session
>>740756698to be fair not a single human being expected the amount of patches this game got, or could imagine how impactful the changes would be
>>740756805And for me the native 4k guys are playing yet another game.
>>740756914It’s a real good looking game that’s for sure
>>740756814It's funny how the "haven't scratched the surface" phrase is so common among people talking about their experience with the game
>>740750223The late game is such a slog. It's like they deter you from finishing the game every chance they get. I basically had to force myself to finish it.
>>740750223I'll remember it a few years from now when it gets all its updates and is on sale for under $20
>>740757163That's because you really shouldn't unless you're done with the game.
>>740750223I love how for the past decade people were constantly bitching about getting a game without mtx or dlc so that they can endlessly explore and create their own adventures. Then this game comes out and all people can do is complain that they have to actually play the game instead of follow a single path/story. We really only do deserve corridor slop that's approved by IGN with pre-order dlcs and paid boosts.
>>740757015in the same way that after walking 5 miles on a treadmill you haven't actually gone anywhere
>>740754479>>740754876>>740754914>>740755342It sounds like a game for the employed honestly, there's no huge overarching objective that propels you to get things done, ie not a lot that gives you a sense of purpose that just ends up being a surrogate job, just varied combinations of small fun activities?I was a neet some time ago and realized now that when your time is precious that is a great kind of game, one you can play a long time when you're free but it's also ok in short periods without making you feel bad about not achieving some milestone.
>>740757762>It sounds like a game for the employed honestly, there's no huge overarching objective that propels you to get things done, ie not a lot that gives you a sense of purpose that just ends up being a surrogate job, just varied combinations of small fun activities?No, it has a very extensive main quest that consists of almost 170 individual quests with hours worth of cutscenes, voice acting and narrative setpieces.
>>740757454No, that's not fun.>>740757762It's RDR2+BOTW with a lot of other games mixed in
>>740757954>No, it has a very extensive main quest that consists of almost 170 individual quests with hours worth of cutscenes, voice acting and narrative setpieces.That's great actually, but i was thinking of something more along the lines of carrot on a stick mechanics with unlocks and such, completely different game i know but in Factorio for example, you can always see what you will unlock next so you get motivated to finish whatever you're doing asap for the novelty, seems to me this game doesn't do this as much.
>>740758217Oh, no, I guess the closest it has to that is its skill tree.
>>740758065>No, that's not fun.<_<; h-heh, yeah, totally different than what we're talking about here, huh...? *clears throat&
I wish there were more reason to use your plethora of moves and ways to weave them into each other. Like why would I ever commit to the F charge attack when it's probably going to get blocked anyway/does only about one hit's worth of damage compared to the flurry I get from holding RM for 1 second.
>>740758462I wish people would realize fun things are fun instead of being dopamine addicts that need style rankings to tell them to not be boring fucks.
>>740750223I own it but havent played it. Waiting for a couple more major patches. Then it will be the blast havest of times
Maybe the most shilled game I've ever seen. Gotta hand it to those gooks, all our wars in asia taught them saturation bombing as well as propaganda.
>>740758462Skill issue. Light and kicks are very useful for extending combos. Light lets you go into charged stab>swift stab which puts bosses into a stunned state. The light attack finisher + abyss gear deal a shitload of damage and restores over a bar of stamina so you can just loop certain combos for a lot longer than holding down heavy attack. Swift stab with sword and shield puts you behind the enemy so a lotnof bosses you can hold down light attack and then swift stab when you see an attack coming out. Kick breaks through shields and guard for free and you can get a free pump kick after a light or a regular kick. You can attack relentlessly if you know what you're doing.
>>740750223Character creator status?
>>740758556this has been the stock argument against >>740758462's sentiment for decades, but i don't think it's ever once been trueThis is a video game. Actions need to have a purpose. What you're doing is already highly abstracted and detached from reality, if your brain starts realizing there's no real reason to be doing it in the first place then you're going to get pulled out of it
>>740759235Anon's argument is shit because RMB gers blocked too and you have a plethora of moves to break through blocks.
>>7407592351x force palm>1xheavy>Light attack finisher uses less stamina and the finisher replenishes most of the spirit you use from force palm. It also starts you off with a gap closer that breaks guard. Holding heavy attack is a noob trap.
>>740759235You're actually just too stupid to understand what I said and the argument. "Pulled out of it" just means your dopamine drip dried up because you are a braindead zombie that has to be told what to do to find purpose. There is a "real reason" to create fun, but you don't know how because you're a sub-human.
>>740759206They already announced dlc is coming so i would assume that it’ll happen then
>>740759784>They already announced dlc is comingfuck at this rate I'll just start a new game when everything is outby the time I play again it'll be a different game
>>740759894We plan to roll these updates out gradually from June through September, and we're preparing them to be enjoyable both for those who have spent many hours in Pywel and for those who are just beginning their journey. Your feedback will continue to be an important reference throughout development, so please continue to share it with us. Our updates to Pywel do not end with the content and features listed below. We are also hard at work on an upcoming DLC for Crimson Desert, and while we cannot share the details just yet, we are preparing it as a meaningful addition to your journey. We will share more details in the future, so stay tuned. Story Improvements We have been carefully reviewing the story-related feedback you have shared with us. To further strengthen the narrative flow of Kliff’s journey and to make it more engaging, we are working to refine and improve the coherence of key scenes. We hope these improvements will offer something new even for those who have already experienced Pywel. Re-Blockade Update Changes are planned for Re-Blockade. A new phase is being developed to make the flow before and after a blockade more natural, along with ways to defend certain strongholds from the threat of invasion. Rewards will also be improved to make the process of liberating strongholds feel more rewarding. New Combat Content A new combat-focused content will be added, allowing players to prove their true strength as a Greymane. More details will be shared in the future. Damiane & Oongka Gameplay ImprovementsDamiane and Oongka’s overall gameplay experience will be improved. Various adjustments will be made so that all three playable characters can get a share of the spotlight. Quality of Life Improvements for Non-Combat Content We will continue making improvements to non-combat content, such as trading and farming, to address areas that players have found inconvenient.
>>740758998Noted
>>740760271I'm excited to see what the story improvements will be like. The only part of the story that I thought was too unclear was the whole Crow Caller/Hexe Marie arc and Oongka showing up out of nowhere to save Kliff in Chapter 11.Aside from that, what I would like would be more playable sections for Oongka and Damiane throughout the story (Ideally a designated DLC for both of them) and some more screentime for the villains. You barely see Caliborn and Bastier throughout the game.
>>740753867It's literally all those things
>>740750223It's just so fucking soulless
>>740753867>is it just another ubislop gookslop for mindless open world collectible retardsyes
>>740758065>It's RDR2+BOTW Except dramatically worse than both since it lacks the details, craft, polish, or unique mechanics of those games
I just herd player numbers are still strong, coincidently, so no.
>>740763530>14,821 players right nowoh yes, very strong
>>740750223Im shocked this game came out and people actually played it because the game is literally an asset flip of their mmorpg that released a decade ago, not to mention their game engine is literally a grotesque carbon copy of unreal engine
>>740750223How is it forgotten when you remember to post about it?
>>740763617for a single player game 4 months from release, yes.
>>740764154kekok shill
>>740764248V tuber troon
>>740764248nice rebuttal retard, got any more insights to share?
>>740763635Aside from some reused animations from BDO which are top tier it's neither of those things. The game runs remarkably well for one thing.
>>740763381It has more than both actually, way more.
>>740764295>>740764334Skyrim, a 14 year old game, currently has 16,440 players.
>>740764446Cause it's a softcore porn game with years of modding support from its coomer audience
>>740764446skyrim more like FLOPRIM hahaha xDDD
>>740764351A whole town is literally copy pasted from their online game from what I have seen
>>740764586What’s wrong with that
>>740764493>>740764547>>740764618>coping on cooldown
>>740764643That’s not all me. I’m only the last post you quoted but you don’t care either way since you’re just a shitposting homo.
>>740764618Seems lazy to me they used a town that has existed since around 2016 in their "new" game
>>740764762>the shill cries out as he strikes you
>>740764782So one town? The map is massive and is fun to explore and has a lot of cool stuff to see so it’s not really a big deal. Especially if you never played their mmo.
>>740764815theyre still paying shills four months out, ergo the game is a success.
>>740764862nah, you do it for free
>>740764586It's not though? The closes is Hernand to Serendia but that's because they share the same inspirations and because CD was originally supposed to be a prequel. The architecture is completely different.
>>740764929>People shilling the game for freeThen it's a mega success
>>740764929because its good :)
I keep getting my shit pushed in whenever there's a boss battle in this game and I'm not sure if it's because I'm playing on Hard or if I'm just dogshit at the game or both.I'm only up to Chapter V in the main storyline. Is there any kind of specific armor or whatever I should get to help me survive or do I just need to pour more skills into my health pool at this point?
>>740765770If the boss isn't attacking use force palm to gap close and complete the combo here.>>740759569You can follow it up with charged stab as any form of light attack that lands successfully puts you in a charges state and press light during charged stab to swift stab. Do not that while it deals a shitton of stagger it costs just as much stamina tonl pull off. If you're being attacked just hold block and move to a better position. Sometimes you can just strage behind the boss and he'll miss. If you see any pauses between attacks you can shield bash to interrupt the boss's combo strings and you can just attack back. Some bosses will grapple you but they're fairly telegraghed. Don't underestimate gears that work on your light attack finishers. They deal lots of damage and stagger and they also restore stamina on it. A perfect side step dodge (not the roll) lets you follow up with a light attack finisher. You can restore a lot of stamina in a pinch with a perfect side step dodge into light attack.
>>740766092Do your best to ignore the the typos I am phone posting while watching cat videos.
>>740750223People were comparing this to Skyrim and RDR2 for some reason
>>740766270It’s better than both
>>740766484Not even close
>>740766092Yeah all right, I'll try to keep this strat in mind.Is there anywhere specific I can get light attack gears like you said? Right now my main weapon is still the Sword of the Lord from that white goblin boss fight, and it only has attack 1 and attack speed 1 as bonuses to its main gimmick gear.
>>740750223I mean it was just a tech demo sandbox game. What even to discuss?The shill cycle is over just like E34
I like taking pretty pictures :)
>>740766812Youvan find abyss gears from some of the back alley vendors or get their recipes from the expeditions you send your workers on. There's a back alley vendor in every major city so keep an eye out. You can also get them from bosses. I'd focus on maxxing out attack speed and pumping up stamina. Stamina is your second health bar as far as blocking is concerned.The youtube meta of stacking gears that work on heavy attacks will work on trash mobs but against actual bosses they drain stamina so fast you're basically left defenseless unless you are really, really good at perfect dodging. There are also gears that add effects to your kick unarmed/kick finisher and they're quite underrated. With sword and shield your light attack finisher occurs on the third step of your combo chain amd since the kick finisher occurs on the fourth you can follow up a light attack finisher with a kick finisher and it will deal a good amount of damage and restore stamina too. However you can't really follow up a kick finisher outside of dodging or using heavy attack so it's risky against bosses. On downed bosses it's actually much better to loop heavy>light>light>kick 3 times (2 if you don't havr maxed attack speed) and then kick>jump for the special rko grapple than it is to use turning slash. You go neutral in stamina cost and restore a shitton of spirit. The boss will also be downed and have a chunk of stagger from the grapple.
>>740750223I played it for about 160 hours and moved on. Nothing more to say really. I might go back to CD after I beat a few more games in my butt log.
>>740767490I should probably practice some of these combos on these new boss replay things they've added recently.Thanks for the advice John Desert.
>>740768519These are very basic combos that will get you through most bosses, but if you want to go curahyzee you can mix in 2h attacks via quickswap. 2h's evasive slash on kliff is a launcher that's one of the few ways he can start aerial combos. The other is turning slash with wind element + pillar of wind abyss gear, but you won't unlock the gear until later. Kliff can launch regular enemies with his throw but only Oongka can throw larger bosses outside of the kick>jump rko.
I'll replay once we get character creator, everyone calls you greymane instead of cliff.
>>740750223im still playing it every day though.
>>740753867This is the problem with only thinking of games in relation to other games. It is a different type of game. not much else is like it. it synthesises elements from several genres. Why is this so troublesome to people?
>>740750223I really wanna play this but I'm not buying it without a character creator. hopefully they add one
Honestly, how is the game? I'm curious about it, but there are updates coming out all the time and confirmed DLC.I'll just do the usual and... wait.
>>740750223So I was wrong, this wasn't even a skyrim for zoomers, but something far more normalfaggy than even that
>>740770161Unironically sit and wait. As for the game: it's basically BOTW meets watered-down DMC and Dynasty Warriors sometimes.
>Forgotten>Daily threads>On track to make a billion dollars
>>740750223is it any good, might torrent it
>>740763635Should I try out Black Desert online if I liked Crimson Desert? Is it still fun if you play it solo and interact with the online part as little as possible?
>>740750223nobody ever knew I existed
>>740771226Black Desert is a lot worse imo. The char creator is nice but that's about it really.
>>740770161It's a good time waster. 6 or 7/10. On one hand, the main quest is slow and boring, you give no fuck whatsoever to either the characters or the story, most quests are fetch quests at best, and the fucking horse dialogues will make you want to kill yourself. On the other hand, there is a LOT of stuff to do, though not a lot of interesting things to do.Any positive in this game is counterbalanced by a negative, but not so much that the positive doesn't exist (and vice versa). The controls are very stiff but some combo are cool. Double jump into triple jump into the air followed by gliding is pretty cool, but the hot air balloons don't work. Map is gigantic, but some combats are hour long slugfest where you need to kill 1,500 one hit point enemies to complete a random quest.I've got 100+ hours in and I firmly believe it's a good time waster, in the sense it's there, it makes you waste your time, make you forget you're losing your time, occasionally.
>>740771523AI post
>>740771637Which words were too complicated for you anons?
>>740771312Eh, guess I'll wait for CD DLC and DokeV, then.
>>740771724I don't read anything with more than 9 words.
>Get the first or second major camp upgrade where we have stuff like a horse wagon area and whatnot now>Suddenly all these NPC Greymanes show up and now there are literal children hanging out around the place tooI thought that the Greymanes were just supposed to be this, like, wandering mercenary swords-for-hire kind of group, but I guess instead they're an entire culture or something?
im still playing, got 198h in steam so far.unfortunatly im dogshit at the combat and only win because of infinite pills and food, still having fun thocant fathom why people waste their time about other people playing a game they dont like
>>740753867the game suffers from an identity crisis since there was a bunch of dev leads yanking the codemonkeys aroundI do hope the musou and the puzzle devs won the spot for it, those were the best portions of the game
>>740772042Yeah, they're one of the tribes of Pailune. Not all of them are mercenaries. You'll learn more about that once you get there.
>>740760505is that outfit the only one with panties? I thought the valkyrie looking one had them as well
>>740763635maybe for literal barrels and other miscellaneous shit, not even bosses with the same name use the same model>>740771226absolutely not, it's a korean mmo riddled with microtransaction shit, combat is nice, but everything feels like a scam for you to get the battle passthe fact crimson desert doesn't have a mtx shop is a goddamn miracle
>>740772194look up a combo video or something, combat is the best part of the game, fuck doing these radiant bounties, by the way
>>740750223Honestly true. We were all waiting for DD2 content and now we got it. Thank god too, CD was such a disappointment I charged back that streaming pile of shit.
>>740772893don't lie faggot. You never played it.
>>740757015That's because the game is so shallow that the surface is the only thing that can be scratched.
>>740773080I bet you thought that comment was clever.
>>740772893crimson desert scratched the itch that DD2 failed to reach, I'd say the dlc will fix things, but I'm not that optimistic
>>740773143No, I only care about true statements. It literally copies 5 games, and does nothing in any of them well.
>>740772680>radiant bountieswait do the bounties never end or something? Ive been clearing them off as I get them. is there no point?
>>740773513they do end, but they feel like shitty repeatable onesthere's about 5 side quests that are fun and not fetch shit, sadly
