How long will they keep it up, and will it work?
Koreans have proven to be relentless shillbots
trying to win the graces of anti-asian bigots is a waste of time tbqh
>>741475714Korean games will always face this shit until they stop using 20 year old online influencer mindsets shilling things under a nationalist bent instead of if the game is actually good or not. It is like a minority group of voters voting as a block and not even trying to hide it.
>>741475920Calling out a bad game isn't bigotry.
>>741476039Lies of P didn't do that and as a result nobody talks about it lol. Same with Limbus games. Looks like the winning strategy is to not market your game at all.
>>741475920thisif it were westoid company they'd be glazing
>>741476074Then why they/them are calling us bigots for calling out bad games like Veilguard / Conrord / etc?
>>741475714No CC no buy
>>741476129Maybe. I'm fairly sure everyone hates the way koreans mobilize to shill. I'll admit I haven't played Lies of P (looks gay and I'm not gay) but I reflexively hold it in higher regard because it didn't get massive overt hollow shilling.
>>741475714>female game journalistNothing to see here fellas
>>741475714I'm waiting for a discount
>>741476176Well there's only crimson desert and stellar blade. What other AAA korean games even are there. The rest are just mmo junkies hoping to get the same dopamine rush from when korean mmos would keep coming out in the 2000s.
>>741476283There hasn't been a triple A korean game.
>polygon hates itThanks just boughted
>>741476130you're not glazing it either. I haven't seen a Crimson Desert thread in ages, and no one names a character or boss from that game.We don't even see porn of the female protagonist.From what I understand, Crimson Desert's strength are its vibes and interactions, but that's not enough to carry it memetically.
?good graces for who?do you read polygon? do you know anyone that reads polygon?
>>741476129Limbus is pretty damn popular. Almost mainstream.
>>741476404Yeah but it's almost completely divorced from mainstream gaming discourse. This is unironically why gachas can thrive. The very gambling nature of the games weeds out the undesirables. The people bitching about stellar blade for example don't even know shit like blue archive exists.
>>741476392The issue is the vibes and interaction are incredibly hollow in the fisher price landscape they created. The biggest complaint I hear is the game is riddled with MMO mindsets when not being an MMO game and the skills you unlock are mandatory for advancement but the game doesn't tell you that at all and had no context clues when doing it wrong (heard this was fixed but not in a good way).
>>741476396I think upper middle class people in NYC, Austin, and Seattle read polygon.
>>741476605More like pozzed AIDS-ridden faggots in Portland and San Francisco
Crimson Desert has long since fixed all of the actual issues from launch and now they're just adding novelty features like more pet stuff. Journos don't hate the game because of whatever reasons they pretend like bad story or puzzles or whatever, the actual reason they hate it is because it uses colourful language that isn't approved of by Americans like many variations of the world cunt.
>>741476359No you didn't. Nobody actually liked the game tbqh.
>>741475714Eve Online sold to Pearl Abyss for 100mil years ago and then sold it back to Eve's devs for 200mil like a month ago, they have no idea what they're doing.
>>741476991Orly? Did the fix the shit story? The shit bosses? The shit combat? The shit quests? The zero dungeons? The meaningless loot? Everything being behind a predictable false wall or waterfall? The broken AI? The pointless comrades?
>>741476074>>741475920Why should we respect asians?They got no bbc and it's not like they destroy cities if they're mistreated
>>741478194All of this is wrong & you're retarded. Find a different hobby if you fail to find joy in one of the best games in recent years.
>>741478194But enough about... every western game in the last ten years. Shit, when was the last time a non-Japanese AAA game had a boss fight?
>>741475714Pear Abyss won a long time ago, journos just get on the defensive because their paychecks are endangered - when a whole industry gets exposed as fraudulent, they lose money. When you lose money, you cut non-essential spending. Guess what Polygon is ;dd
>>741478337this
>>741478278>Calls any fair criticism baitYou are deluded if you call it the best game in years. The only thing it has for it is good post launch support, that's it. But given that it started from a low point, there was a lot of easy low hanging fruit.
>>741479685It's not criticism, it's lies & insults. I dunno why you're doing this, but literally everything you said is wrong. If you're genuine in your opinion that the bosses/combat/exploration/quests/general story is bad - seriously, find a new hobby, because apparently gaming is not for you. Crimson Desert has so many good things going for it, that it's objectively better than The Witcher (which, admittedly, has 9 books behind it), and I say this as a fan.
>>741478221No wonder you muricans lick jews and blacks boots.
>>741480289Crimson Desert has more "cinematic pieces" with fancy bosses with shonen anime entrances and flairs. Witcher 3 combat isn't anything special, so it ties with Crimson Desert. It doesn't matter if you have 50 skills if they're all useless and you just spam R2 on the same differently colored humanoid soldier and 2 shot them, or a boss that doesn't obey rules and is consistent like souls games. It's just poorly designed, and all you can interpret that is "bait". Exploration is the only part where I will say it's not terrible, but it is missing half of the part that actually makes it interesting, which is exploring the unknown. We've all seen forests and prairies. It's not exciting or cool. We want imposing and sprawling dungeons. Fear and anticipation. Mystery. Seeing the same overworld we see in any other isn't really that compelling. And I don't even need to expand on why the story or quests are bad. If you're really trying to defend that, then you are clearly the one lying, not me.
>>741476283Crimson desert for some reason just didn't get me to even beat it like the heavily FROMSOFT inspired k slop clones did. I just did not give 1 single fuck. You could have taken half of the useless filler shit out and the game would still be 200 hours of useless filler shit. Just felt like a game that would never end and had no real satisfaction of progressing the game forward more than I did. There's no true identity - it's just systems on systems on systems (all copied from other games, non derivative/zero variation) in the hopes it's their version of BOTW. We don't need more dog shit open world korok seed check list games. There's no real facade of a video game there to me it's just digital work. Not to diminish someone thinking it's good, it just feels pretty fucking bad when I usually at least play games like this all the way through.
>Over 5 million sales
>>741481029Yep, gaming's not for you. If a classic tale of revenge is a bad story, then everything Conan is bad. There are so many skills to choose from, it's YOUR CHOICE to spam just one attack, dumbass ;ddI'm done wasting my time with your plebeian non-opinions.
>>741481689Sales ≠quality
Which western studio got shuttered today?
>sold over 7 million copies>b-but
Last time I checked, /v/ hated open world collectathons, but somehow CD is the best game ever madehmmmmm
>>741475714>Polygon journalist hates itSurest sign of a good game.
>>741482132not in this case
>>741482268It's not a collectathon.
>>741476605>peopleThat's where you're wrong
Crimson Desert is the most boring video game I ever beat. If you like this garbage you should genuinely take your own life as quickly as possible.
>>741482287Polygon loved Elden Ring, so I guess that game must suck fucking ass huh? Oh wait.
It's one of those "do everything" games retarded zoomers who grew up with Skyrim love
>>741482487Nope, he only said if Polygon hates the game, it must be good. He never said anything about the quality of games that Polygon loves.This formal fallacy is called denying the antecedent
>>741476392>MMO dev made a MMO styled single player game where you have 1000 hours of empty pointless content without any story behind itAnyone with a brain would have checked out a long time ago.
ITT:>haters hating with no basis or argumentThe absolute state of /v/. At least with Callisto Protocol the trolls had the dodge mechanic to latch onto, and with Elden Ring the jump attack.
>>741482973>random seething about other gamesok schizo
>>741482532He and you are implying that Polygon is too retarded to have a correct opinion. But they clearly know when to rate a good game good.
>>741481291Crimson Desert is basically a korean MMO but offline, it has a shit ton of useless MMO tier quests to make it seem infinite, but when once you realize everything is just pointless and you see through the curtain is becomes unfun
>>741476158Probably because while those ARE bad games, it's not their objective badness that gets "called out", but rather the fact they have women and black people in them and are super gay.Games can still be good while having those things in them (see: Celeste), just as games can still be good, or at least okay, while being shameless coombait (ala Stellar Blade).
>>741476590Because most if not all, korean and chink games are "chosen one" narratives where the hero is special by destiny and receives advantages simply because they are the chosen one, the lore is convoluted on purpose to make it seem extremely fantastical and deep, but in reality is just weird words masking the nonexistent plot to make it seem much bigger than what it is.
>>741475714>>741475839>shillbots>tourists unironically posting Polygon This is why God approves of TWD btw
>>741485651this is why japs are a superior species to koreans and chinese. they can write excellent stories like ff7 and ff10 that subvert these things
>>741482132ayup, so heckin true sistah, only the <200 reviews, hidden polished dogturds over at STEAMing pile of shit are worthwhile
>>741485651>Because most if not all, korean and chink games are "chosen one" narrativesThis is the norm in most genres across mediums. Westacucks are especially obnoxious with it. Why laser focus on Koreans and Chinese with your shallow seethe? Are you brown?
>>741485760Yeah it only took them 7 installments to make the amnesiac chosen one be chosen one but also mentally ill.
>>741485784>>741485760looks like I hit the nail on the head ;dd
>>741481689Actually
>>741475714This is the only time i have agreed with polytroons.
>>741482176Sharma is still on her genocide run
>>741485760>I'm gonna write a epic Japanese game>the protag has Amnesia
>>741486056tidus didnt have amnesia you doofus, that was just an excusecloud didnt have amnesia either, jenova cells literally made him schizo and think he was someone else. thats not amnesiaany other self-reports you wanna make?
>>741485979It took 3 months for that. It has completely lost steam.
>>741475714>Translator's note:>interesting thing means minorities in this context
>>741475714>preview screenshots - show some cool giant monsters>game reality - 99% of the enemies are humans, musou tier punching bags on top of that
>>741482268There's probably 5 people total posting in this thread, and 3 of them of them are either paid shills or deranged culture warriors.
>>741486048The closures shall continue unto the revenue improves.
>>741475714rage bait thread. nobody is retarded enough to read polygon.
the KOREAN super elite have been paying off all WESTERN publications to push this game up on all the charts. It's sickening that americans are so quick to bend the knee to fucking asian PIGS
Dead game
>>741482108You are genuinely retarded.
>>741487153Polygon is quite literally part of the "Big 4" outlets for game news. IGN, GameSpot, Kotaku, and Polygon.
>>741475920>>741476130It has nothing to do with Asian this or that, you retards. It's about you either playing by their political rules or not. Small brained retards with a persecution complex.
>>741488007yeah but cwimson dessert does kinda suck though
It has less players than Cyberpunk 2077 (6 years old) and almost less than TW3 (11 years old) why did gamers forget Crimson Desert so fast?
>>741489173Cyberpunk got resurrected with a cartoon and new wave of shilling while Bitcher 3 is played because porn keeps it relevant. CD (and Skyrim) has more players than Bitcher though.
>>741476174This, I'm not fucking playing as this sauceless, no-charisma retard.
>>741476174>>741489594You just want to goon. Stop pretending to care about videogames.
Curious how no one begging for a character creator ever wants to play as a male.
>>741475920thisand no one care what some clickbait game-hating hacks have to say, streamers/jewtubers sell games so companies just pay streamers to shill
>>741489594god manlets are so disgusting why didn't they canst a real human manwaste of sperm
>>741475714>polygonThe street corner homeless hobo has more interesting things to say or perspectives. This also shows that it's not a gaming outlet, just anti foreign gaming propaganda.
