Wait wait wait, so they are relaunching a game that never shut down. Wtf. They are selling us the same game? If I own New World, do I get this for free?
My only complaints are it's not an action "RPG." and two it seems like some of the bosses the slams don't work on. Now I get you can't slam certain bosses like the turtle but it just seems like a wasted talent if it only works in regular combat. 3 I wanna try it before I say I don't like it it might make it better but I wish there was an option to autolck enemies off and on so you could try both ways.
@@domomonstero3077 its a free update. its gonna work the same way it does now. you get everything coming for free when it drops october 15. see it as an update. your still gonna need the dlc for mounts pretty sure. you can use mounts for free in the open beta though. if you get the dlc and login before october 15 they give you a free nice wolf mount.
TLDW: Crimson Desert is a VERY ambitious game coming from a very capable team. Other than the writing in some cases, it seems that the game is extremely impressive and melds some of the best parts of Zelda, Assassin’s Creed, and the Witcher. While I haven’t personally played the game, I feel that they have been extremely transparent and willing to let the public see the game at various trade shows, which is a very good sign. We will continue to keep a close eye on it, but as for right now I think it’s perfectly reasonable to be intrigued and excited for this. It would not surprise me at all if this ends up being another big hit for a relatively unknown eastern studio.
Masculine and manly protagonist, good looking women in important roles, no shady hiding of the games characteristics, not afraid to show what they got, packed with action and stunning visuals. The east is making their voice be heard, they've come as a permanent high level competition to western game makers.
As someone who worked on the game, the studio is such a shit show at the moment.. Non-stop sexual harassment and money issues... It's one of the reasons Dokev hasnt been delivered yet
It looks like the same kind of bullshit that Dragon's Dogma is selling, the whole thing is just "muh freedom" and everything else is half assed, the story, the worldbuilding, the writing, the gameplay... But hey, 'you can explore", yay !
Dragon's dogma 2 only felt like a reskin because it literally was. You beat the first game again and unlock the second game. Alot of people don't realise this and have missed heaps of content in dragons dogma 2. Even the title screen changes and everything.@@WeKNOWTHETRUTHITSUNDISTPUTED
The draw distance is absolutely insane and goes a long way to making this footage look as good as it does. If it actually looks like this at release and can keep a stable 60fps, it'll set a new standard, at least in terms of graphics.
The game sure does look promising with its stunning visuals and immersive gameplay like Zelda, Witcher, Dragons Dogma etc, but I just hope that it delivers.
that's kind of what worries me about this game and the hype surrounding it. "VISUALS ARE AMAZING AND FEATURES OMG". I don't know, graphics look generic. The particles are literally just the default unreal-generated particles, and the graphics are more focused on looking realistic than actually having a defined art style. It looks like every other AAA game that's been released in recent years. And the features seem way too ambitious that I feel like there's no way most of these wouldn't fail in actual gameplay. Just to remind you, trailers cherry pick what works and what doesn't; even if that trailer is an hour long. Overall, just looks like a game made to hype with these hyper-realistic visuals and pretty sceneries with all the features you've come to love from all the games that came before it that would definitely require the latest gaming hardware to even run. It really does look like a light show that tries the most basic things to impress the audience, and it works. I'd be skeptical, too. Not to mention, it's made by a company that runs an MMO that claims to be a sandbox minus the sandbox.
The only skepticism we should have about this game is greed & microtransactions. I have faith in the game itself they were confident enough to show 52 minutes of gameplay. Only the executives can make this fail.
Why Microtransactions are bad? You get cool skins and weapons and you support the developers and the franchise. Also no one forces any one to buy the Microtransactions. For Example, Ac Valhalla has Microtransactions but the strongest weapons are free to be found on the map ( Varin's axe and House carl's axe) while the skins and the weapons that are payed for are niche from a gameplay perspective. Also you can buy Microtransactions in AC Valhalla with opal which is earned for completing contracts in game for free.
@@fat4eyes Bullshit. The excessive grind is there _only_ for those that look to go into PvP. BDO is very well balanced in terms of progression if you just wanna get to Ascension/Succession as a casual player. I'd know. The end-game is more grindy than most MMOs, but the "exploration" part of it is way more forgiving than most others-even western stuff like WoW. It's really only there to incentivize players to spend money after they ran out of novel content. And as Crimson Desert is a singleplayer game, they simply don't have to do that.
The (former) Publisher of BDO, Kakao Games, is terrible with microtransactions and greed. But Pearl Abyss, the developer, has since acquired the full publishing rights (outside of Korea, iirc), and has made a fair few player-friendly moves since then. And Crimson Desert is also fully self-published. So BDO's greedy history should not be what we base our expectations on.
With that quest system, I'm curious if you can just... avoid questgivers altogether and just bump into things, "solve" them, and then get rewards from the quest givers the first time you meet them, or at the very least their situation has changed because what they wanted to happen happened
@@huskytzu7709Not really i did one quest in RDR2 were a guy wanted me to get Rid of Some guys causing issues i did before even getting the quest and he came up and thanked me and gave money. if you get the quest off it turns out differnt as you end up in Quick draw duel. Kingdom Come Deliverance and Witcher 3 also do this..
@@huskytzu7709 There are games that do that, Skyrim comes to mind. "Help me out with this" "I did it already" "Thank you!" sort of thing. As long as the act itself is rewarding, though, it's not necessary
Pearl Abyss made one of the most popular MMOs. I have full confidence that Crimson Desert (a singleplayer game) is what they show. What I have doubts on is whether the story will actually be engaging enough to complete it.
This. I remember when Crimson Desert was first announced, and I said to myself "This just looks like Black Desert". The story will make or break this game.
@@kylehues8465 Considering how awful it is in BDO and its pacing that moves like room temperature amber, I don't know why you think it would be any better. They should have focused on making a game that didnt play exactly like the friggin mmo.
@@jayg.2066 I could be wrong, considering that after 28 feckin hours the only story I got was "theres a spoopy demon assisting you and he's sooooo mischievous!" and "there are people that need your help with goblins or some shit" The story doesnt move at all, so who knows, maybe it gets good, but I can only think of Shakespeare's line from polonius "brevity is the soul of wit". I'll also point out that you dont need cutscenes, lip sync, or dialogue animations, I am a fan of the zelda series which went 25 years without any of that while delivering serviceable stories, and Ace attorney, which still doesn't do anything of the sort, and has great stories.
Honestly, devs that just showcase the game, no bullsh*t talk,This is a green flag. Sure, this is not perfect but at least they don't lie about their product. Unless they make a downgrade buggy mess at launch.
As someone that played Black Desert Online on day one and for a couple of years and now I occasionally check it out to see what's new, I have no doubts that this game is real and will look amazing when it launches. Black Desert is visually amazing, especially for an MMORPG. It was ahead in visuals by a mile when it was first released and it's only gotten better. With Crimson Desert being a single player game and not an MMORPG, I don't have the worries that I would if they were making another MMORPG. I don't have worries that this game will be grindy. Black Desert is an absolute grind fest but it's also not a single player game. I also don't have to worry about Crimson Desert being pay 2 win like Black Desert cause again, it's a single player game. The only thing we have to worry about is them releasing a completed game with a compelling story. Black Desert's storyline has been changed around quite a lot since it's release, it's gone through entire reworks of systems, questlines and such. Granted, Black Desert is an MMORPG and should be ever changing and being added to but I just hope that they don't do stuff like that to Crimson Desert, a single player game, and they're able to put out a great story (Black Desert's story can be kinda wonky and boring at times, and was especially boring at release). I do hope that they do improve the facial animations to be like those in the trailers from years ago and I'd also like them to add some variations to the sounds enemies make because I watched the whole 50min gameplay video and all of the enemies make the exact same "auugh" sound when they're hit and get thrown around. Though that being said about the facial animations.. it's still a MASSIVE upgrade from the overall animations and cutscenes that're in Black Desert.
Pearl Abyss has an office 5 minutes from my house (Gwacheon, Korea) and I saw that they are recruiting translators for this title. Perhaps there is some hope that dialogue will improve if they hire the right people.
The 3 things I didn’t particularly like from what they’ve shown: -The facial animations: the look pretty basic, but to be expected from an rpg -The sprinting: it looks alright in battle as you’re sprinting towards the next foe, but in exploration it looks weird, out of place and kind of over the top -Everything looking so clean: the game looks pretty new and shiny, as other commenters have said, and I don’t know if it fits the vibe Overall this looks really nice though and I am sure that this could get a GOTY nomination if the devs succeed with their vision
Anyone notice lately that youtube's bitrate has become so poor, so bad that 4k looks 1080 now? It's actually been annoying me a lot lately, every time I watch a video I'm convinced that I'm watching it on lower quality. And then I checke the gear icon and it says 4k 60.
@@emperormouse5487 You realize, people like you paying for premium is why the quality is lower for the rest of us? You are paying for something you already had before youtube decided to lower bitrate for non youtube premium members. The only other benefit of premium is no ads... which free adblockers already do. lol
As someone who was working on the game, the studio and this game has so many issues, it's terrible. The last 2 writers quit due to sexual harassment and the game was originally something completely different, which is why they don't have anything but some boss scenes
@@Nimora why are you no longer working there? And do you have any other reason why the game will be terrible besides the writing? The writing isn’t exactly why people played black desert.
@@madmantheepic7278 they clarified multiple times that this isn’t a RPG. It’s an action adventure game. They are leaning away from RPG because they know it isn’t what they are good at.
On the monetization aspect, I think an interesting comparison might be to look at Stellar Blade and the devs (shift up). The Korean game market has been changing a lot in recent years and we might be seeing companies that were making gacha/mobile/mmorpg games (all with heavy monetization), leveraging those to have the resources necessary for higher quality "marquis" products. Products that build your reputation. This would be a great way for those devs avoid becoming stale while getting some good coverage online. Shift Up made one of the most egregious gacha title out there but they also made Stellar Blade which is definitely not aggressively monetized.
If you played Black Desert Online at all, you'll know that the studio is going to nail this game. Black Desert Online has some of the best combat I have ever seen in a video game, and the world is beautiful.
Just because particle sims are better now, doesnt meant you need to turn it all up to 11. I felt sick watching the gameplay because of how all the particles just read as noise.
What most people who’ve never played Black Desert Online might not know is that the game has one of the best character creation systems of all time - so much so that I initially bought the game specifically to make rpg characters for my own projects. With that in mind, it would be an absolute shame if we do not get to create our own characters in this story, using the same or even just slightly upgraded system. But so far, all I’ve seen is the same dude in all of the gameplay footage, so I’m a little worried. If you cant create a protagonist as iconic as Geralt, 2B, or Aloy (and I don’t have confidence that Pearl Abyss can), then you need to let the players create their own characters to fill in the rpg elements themselves.
Having watched fextralife's gameplay impressions, he did mention that there is no character creation. Definitely a huge shame as it's a super enjoyable part for me, and i miss out on most great character creators because well i don't play multiplayer games.
I think the reason this game looks so impossible is that the devs seem to be VERY economical with their priorities. I think far too many games nowadays focus on the absolutely meaningless details. Take something simple like the belts and buckles at 15:46. Those looks so flat. But does it matter? The rest looks pretty good. The motion looks good. You probably didn't even notice. But most AAA devs would cope and seethe seeing and not "fixing" that, spending a week remodelling and making it work. You can find these kinds of "shortcuts" everywhere in the footage. But they are more like... An artist choosing not to render every single point in the painting, only the parts in focus.
In the development process that's definitely true, but things like belts seem somewhat odd to not have physics. Or, for that matter, animals when they're being carried? Just become frozen. With how much attention is paid to all the particles and the fur simulation and such, i don't really see them picking between which details to forgo. Though evidently, as you said. I didn't notice, and even if i likely did if i were playing myself, it'd probably be nothing but a nitpick.
What really put Peal Abyss on the radar for me was the insane character creation, which the industry still hasn't really beat all these years later. More than a bit disappointed their next game doesn't have that feature at all.
I'm interested but i've rarely seen anything as "bullshotty" as this. There have been plenty of tense, eventful, impressive game trailers shown over the past few years that just lead to nowhere.
Ghost of Tsushima added lock on later but I really liked it before that too. The director said it was to add to the feel of being a samurai in a samurai movie where the protagonist often switches targets back and forth through the fight, which translated amazingly to GoT
@@manuelrapino5917 That's not true at all. Crimson Desert uses the same engine as BDO (or rather an updated/optimized version), where every armor piece has visual degradation. (Most people turn that feature off, because they like to look shiny all the time.) And Pearl Abyss is VERY good at outfit/armor design. My guess is that Crimson Desert just isn't far enough into the "polish" phase yet to focus on those bits of visual realism.
Been recently working on my first playthrough of rdr2, and besides some of the gameplay issues i have with it, i don't get that feeling of "play and get lost in the world" And i think this is in large part because RDR2 like many open world games, including crimson desert or witcher 3 etc. feature too much guidance on where content is. Watched some youtube video a while back talking about how seeing map markers with highlighted "points of interest" telling you to go there to find the content, which makes the game feel less like a free to use chef's kitchen and more like a buffet. And that's a huge reason why i think games like skyrim damn near perfected it, because besides floating markers hinting at a nearby ruin or camp, exploration is entirely personal incentive. Like Luke said, "see a structure in the distance and be intrigued enough to go see what it is" kind of deal. Elden ring did that rather well too.
@@Verchiel_ How far you a long in the world? So lets take a second to realize that Luke Stephens said himself that rdr2 is one of those games you can get lost in. I happen to agree with him and that is one of my most favorite games to date. My point is that there is 99.9% chance that its one of those games because so many respected people in the video game industry have described it as just that. Just give it some time buddy. Go check it out and explore. There's soooooooo much content and interesting things that happen in the game Also a point I want to emphasize on is Luke Stephens is a great judge/ analyst of video games. Thats not really an opinion as the numbers and subscribers he has is clear evidence of that.
Seems like it, the hunting, fishing, and also how he carries the animal carcass, the horse taming. This game definitely took many ideas from RDR2. Its basically Assassins Creed meets RDR2.
If the monetization is like BDO I am never touching this. Don’t even care if the gameplay is amazing. Saying that game is predatory is putting it suuuper mildly
Totally agree. MMO players are more accustomed to dropping a ton of cash on a game they are playing, but if they think the same thing is gonna work with single player gamers they are sorely mistaken.
@@Athasin Far cry. Assassin's creed. Star wars outlaws. Dragon's dogma 2. It has been proven time and time again, people are willing to buy skins and "season passes" for singleplayer games.
@@Verchiel_ dragon's dogma 2 is the worst exemple you could chose. It's the less greedy game capcom made in the past decade, everythings you can buy with realy money are extremely easy to get from playing. this is the one thing that cant be used against dragon's dogma 2.
To be completely honest... I don't care what the story is like. I don't care how good the boss fight will or will not be. The game already had my money when I saw how big the world is. Just let me run around in that, run from city to city, beat up some goons and monsters on the way. Let me find some nice loot (the thing Dragon's Dogma 2 failed to do) and I am good. I don't need anything else in a game. lol. A good compelling story or side quests are a nice bonus, though.
Well to be fair, Stellar Blade was one of the best releases this year, but Shift Up's other game (NIKKE) is a gacha, with a lot of ways to get your wallet crying. That being said, there was no extra scummy microtransactions in Stellar Blade (even tho they could just sell ever living crap out of Eve skins). I'm really positive about Crimson Desert being just one time purchase, it would one up Capcom's dragon dogma from start, which had paid teleports and so on.
Idk why he keeps saying this game looked too good to be true. It looks just above average imo. It doesn't not look too good and it doesn't look fake either.
If you're judging solely by the 2019 trailer it absolutely looks too good to be true. More recent showcases are more grounded. What's shown looks really exciting, the visuals look for the most part stellar and there's a crap ton of different mechanics and features shown so far that might not be as fun or engaging as the trailers might look.
As soon as I found out that the creators of Black Desert were making an open-world RPG that DOESN'T have character creation, I was offboard. Taking the one thing that they're famous for and throwing it in the trash wasn't wise.
It looks extremely interesting to me. I hope this is not an MMO, or multiplayer. I just found the info I need. It is single player. Now I am truly excited!
Knowing Korean devs, about the only thing that will suck is the story but I'm fairly certain that the combat and bosses will live up to expectations. Maybe even the level design.
I played BDO a little, by a little I mean a little too much (48.080hrs yes, forty eight thousand) to know by now that Pearl Abyss is really good in building hype for things, but really bad at delivering them. I'm not hating (i still play that god forsaken game), just keeping it real.
Remember Pearl Abyss also had a project that looks like a Pokemon, yeah it's been years since they announce that so I doubt they could finish this one as well. lol.
Black Desert online is far from being the most greedy MMO. You can easily get a massive amount of free stuff that otherwise are locked in the casshshop if you play the even. They give high tier mount, outfit, item for house, XP booster (massive one like a 530%), and many other minor stuff. People have always said this for BDO because they never played it and stopped at the cash shop. Because someone is in the cash shop dont mean that you can easily get it while playing. People also ignore that BDO is one of the rare MMO that have people who only play to commerce, some focus on fishing or going after whale, and some just do their farm stuff.
My hope is that the monetization side of things is similar to the difference between Stellar Blade and Nikke, where they understand this is a very different type of product and should have everything included in the box price
I feel like up-scaling have impacted the industry rather negatively. Some PS4 games actually look nice and run amazingly without any need of DLSS. RE4 on my PC runs at max 4K almost 100FPS and that game looks awesome fidelity wise. I just think there should be a collective cap on fidelity by the devs to determine a normalized quality level without relying too much on upscaling methods while also maintaining satisfying performance at the very least 60 FPS.
Cyberpunk was shown a lot before release. Same with No Man's Sky. Then there's SW Outhouse, and we can all name several "content creators" that shilled that slop after 4 hours of monotoring by Ubislop, and a trip to Disneyland.
I like how luke mentioned how we dont get enough good triple a new games that are not sequels and stuff, but then immediately goes to praise BG3. Theres a 3 there because is the third entry in a series aka a sequel
I watched it all, the combat system in Crimson Desert appears to be reminiscent of the unawakened warrior class from Black Desert Online. While the game world seems to offer a plethora of options for player interaction and exploration, this same level of variety is notably absent from the combat mechanics. It's disappointing to see a lack of diverse magic systems and weapon types, which would have greatly enhanced the combat experience. The combat animations, while visually striking, seem to prioritize spectacle over substance. Unlike games such as Stellar Blade, where the flashy combat feels purposeful and well-directed, Crimson Desert's approach appears to lack a clear sense of impact and strategic depth. The writing and storytelling aspects of the game fall short as well. The narrative seems to suffer from the same uninspired quality often found in many MMOs, not single player games The world and draw distance are amazing and stunning but im here for a fun single player game with a compelling story this game doesn't appear to offer the depth or engagement I'm looking for in either its gameplay or storytelling aspects.
Oh god its Pearl Abyss? Fuck no. Boring as ass grind 2nd job games. I swear all Korean MMORPGs lure you in with amazing graphics and then it's so boooooring.
I was extremely skeptical of CD when I first saw it and they talked up everything in it. But this past Gamescom, how confident they were in not just everything they showed off, the volume, the quality, and everyones hands on impressions. Im more than convinced this game is everything said and more. That year they took off, they must have really knuckled down and worked hard on this. It even makes me excited for the potential of DokeV
i kinda trust the graphics because the studio also does black desert online, which looks good too; i believe it will be well optimized and run well on consoles and a decent range of pc specs
As someone who did put many hours into Black Desert, I am very intrigued by it. From what I understand it seems to not really be an mmo, and more of a single player/co-op thing? Which I'm not upset about. BDO looked amazing visually, and had some of the best feeling combat of most mmo's that I've played before. If they manage to carry that over to Crimson and even improve on it, they'll be in a very good place. But most of all, I hope they carry over gameplay from the different classes in bdo - In these demos they all seem to be showcasing this same guy If he is a fixed main character, and it's not a player customizable character, that would be a MASSIVE failure in the eyes of the BDO fanbase. BDO still has one of the most in depth character creators of any game, and it's been like 8 years since it came out. And the different classes in the game were all so cool and fun to play. I played the crap out of the Ranger class mainly, as well as a bit of Mystic and Dark Knight. BDO had a really cool thing with their classes called "Awakening" that you didn't get until after level 56. And it basically unlocked a whole second half to your character. For example the Ranger starts out as a ranged character using a bow, and then after awakening to can swap into being a melee character with dual short swords. So you basically had two separate combat kits you could swap between mid battle, and they had really cool attacks that were transitional attacks that you used when swapping. Every class had a thing like that, and it was such a cool idea that I hope they carry over some semblance of in Crimson. From what they've mostly shown so far they are focusing on the open world aspects, the combat, and the story - which in my opinion were the things that bdo actually did very well. BDO also had lifestyle skills - which in my opinion were really bad. So I hope they are taking what they learned and carrying it over, and doubling down on the best parts of bdo to make something really cool.
You ever played BDO? This game is EXACTLY like it. Also, the translation, story and plot will be just as poor. Most people don't play MMOs for story so it's fine there, but this? This is gonna be such a shallow hack and slash game.
I don't think this is too good to be true. Black Myth wukong was accused of the same. So far we mostly see a very characterized combat system and decent graphics. Nothing to make me fall my chair after wukong. The place I'm waiting for the devs is about story, immersion, side content, possibilities and RPG elements. Because it seem like They don't aim to make another generic action rpg (although wukong proved to be a GREAT one) but a genuine open world similar to the witcher or such. I'm watching this as much as I look for the new game that is in beta (don't remember the name, but it's very dark and gritty and happens in king's arthur mythology) as the start of new interesting universes to replace the ones that hold the top spot for decades
The thing about the quests sounds too good to be true. I wish it was a thing in games so badly, like multiple people asking you to deal with a problem, and if you miss one potential quest giver but complete the objective anyway they just thank you when you talk to them instead of paying like the ones that asked before you did the objective
I guarantee there will be a store with crazy monetization. In an early trailer, you see the protagonist playing a flute wearing a teddy bear hat! Oh there will be monetization alright from skins to instruments, weapons even skins for his crow cape. Mounts you name it. They are definitely going to do a ubisoft. Even i can see the opportunities from a corporate perspective.
I’m sorry Luke but GTA 6 running at 30fps is not a negative at all; ultra hardcore gamers and people who play on PC care b/c they’re always chasing the endless hunt for the highest fidelity and performance possibility. Mainstream and casuals won’t care at all. If you’re used to playing all games in a certain frame going up or down will be little jarring and difficult. But I think for most a steady and solid 30fps is great and perfect especially if you’re talking about a heavy narrative driven single player title. I always choose fidelity over performance b/c I love to see how far developers can push the detail and the granular visuals of their games. Give me a nice 30 over 60 any day of the week if we’re talking single player open-worlds 🙂
Something I'm deathly curious about is how gear progression, levels (if there are any) and overall exploration rewards factor in. If I explore a cool cave and all I get out of it is a potion or something, I'm gonna get pissed. Also, they have been ADAMANT in letting Kliff only use a sword and a shield as his weapon. Can we use other weapons at all or are we locked to sword and board? I don't mind if we are, but the UI is super unclear about whether or not we can change our playstyle. Do we learn new moves? How's character growth gonna be like, gameplay wise? Things to consider.
It's look promising but sometimes it's in the limit to be too copy-pasted of other games ideas/mechanics... hope they mix a little bit more all the mechanics, story, etc for the game to get a more unique personality...
I don't know how the game will look on release, but if someone has to zoom in on a high res video, just to find some fuzziness to knit pick, then they are picking too much knit.
If the camera is always looking in the direction the character looks, that mechanic makes the game easier on PC. Some devs don't want players to have a better experience on PC, in fact regardless of what bullshit they tell you, I would put money on most AAA devs not wanting a player having a better experience on PC. They could at least make it optional. Whenever you see "gameplay" without UI, or gameplay in a trailer, always assume it's bullshit. A trailer is for advertising the game, it's always manipulative by nature.
I mean Wukong already released, graphically it's the most impressive looking game every, the boss fights are seriously impressive the visual effects, the animation the spectacle, so I no longer have doubts that this is a real game. But my main complaint is why did they make their "Fantasy" world so freaking bland? I really don't like this type of European medieval fantasy and it looks very vanilla. The trailer looks very good yet nothing in the trailer looks very interesting tbh. It looks like a very graphically impressive Ubisoft game.

It looks like the same kind of bullshit that Dragon's Dogma is selling, the whole thing is just "muh freedom" and everything else is half assed, the story, the worldbuilding, the writing, the gameplay... But hey, 'you can explore", yay !
💯%
Dragon's dogma 2 only felt like a reskin because it literally was.
You beat the first game again and unlock the second game.

The draw distance is absolutely insane and goes a long way to making this footage look as good as it does. If it actually looks like this at release and can keep a stable 60fps, it'll set a new standard, at least in terms of graphics.
Red dead redemption 2, literally referenced in the same video, already set that standard in 2018
Their MMO had this for year now. There's is nothing new nor surprising.
The game sure does look promising with its stunning visuals and immersive gameplay like Zelda, Witcher, Dragons Dogma etc, but I just hope that it delivers.

@@D4C_LoveTrain1 theyve shown like 2 hrs of gameplay it looks great (well see tho)
The only thing probably will not be good will be the story
since we know PA
that's kind of what worries me about this game and the hype surrounding it. "VISUALS ARE AMAZING AND FEATURES OMG". I don't know, graphics look generic. The particles are literally just the default unreal-generated particles, and the graphics are more focused on looking realistic than actually having a defined art style. It looks like every other AAA game that's been released in recent years.
And the features seem way too ambitious that I feel like there's no way most of these wouldn't fail in actual gameplay. Just to remind you, trailers cherry pick what works and what doesn't; even if that trailer is an hour long.
Overall, just looks like a game made to hype with these hyper-realistic visuals and pretty sceneries with all the features you've come to love from all the games that came before it that would definitely require the latest gaming hardware to even run. It really does look like a light show that tries the most basic things to impress the audience, and it works. I'd be skeptical, too. Not to mention, it's made by a company that runs an MMO that claims to be a sandbox minus the sandbox.
Skyrim meets BotW meets The Witcher 3 meets Prey..... Color me intrigued.
The only skepticism we should have about this game is greed & microtransactions.
I have faith in the game itself they were confident enough to show 52 minutes of gameplay. Only the executives can make this fail.
Why Microtransactions are bad? You get cool skins and weapons and you support the developers and the franchise.
Also no one forces any one to buy the Microtransactions.
For Example, Ac Valhalla has Microtransactions but the strongest weapons are free to be found on the map ( Varin's axe and House carl's axe) while the skins and the weapons that are payed for are niche from a gameplay perspective.
Also you can buy Microtransactions in AC Valhalla with opal which is earned for completing contracts in game for free.
Remember it's made by a Korean MMO dev. It's not just microtransactions that can be a problem, but hellish K-style grind. Wait for reviews.
@@fat4eyes so u have problem with grind in singleplayer game? it is single player and usually grind at rpg action adventure is a must.
@@fat4eyes Bullshit.
The excessive grind is there _only_ for those that look to go into PvP.
BDO is very well balanced in terms of progression if you just wanna get to Ascension/Succession as a casual player. I'd know.
The end-game is more grindy than most MMOs, but the "exploration" part of it is way more forgiving than most others-even western stuff like WoW.
It's really only there to incentivize players to spend money after they ran out of novel content.
And as Crimson Desert is a singleplayer game, they simply don't have to do that.
The (former) Publisher of BDO, Kakao Games, is terrible with microtransactions and greed.
But Pearl Abyss, the developer, has since acquired the full publishing rights (outside of Korea, iirc), and has made a fair few player-friendly moves since then.
And Crimson Desert is also fully self-published.
So BDO's greedy history should not be what we base our expectations on.
With that quest system, I'm curious if you can just... avoid questgivers altogether and just bump into things, "solve" them, and then get rewards from the quest givers the first time you meet them, or at the very least their situation has changed because what they wanted to happen happened
I assume you would need to find the quest givers to trigger events for the quest
thats just weird imo. They would not be obligated to reward you if they never hired you in the first place.
KCD2 will have design like that not sure about.
@@huskytzu7709Not really i did one quest in RDR2 were a guy wanted me to get Rid of Some guys causing issues i did before even getting the quest and he came up and thanked me and gave money. if you get the quest off it turns out differnt as you end up in Quick draw duel. Kingdom Come Deliverance and Witcher 3 also do this..
@@huskytzu7709 There are games that do that, Skyrim comes to mind. "Help me out with this" "I did it already" "Thank you!" sort of thing. As long as the act itself is rewarding, though, it's not necessary
Pearl Abyss made one of the most popular MMOs. I have full confidence that Crimson Desert (a singleplayer game) is what they show. What I have doubts on is whether the story will actually be engaging enough to complete it.
This. I remember when Crimson Desert was first announced, and I said to myself "This just looks like Black Desert". The story will make or break this game.
@@kylehues8465 Considering how awful it is in BDO and its pacing that moves like room temperature amber, I don't know why you think it would be any better. They should have focused on making a game that didnt play exactly like the friggin mmo.
@@daniel8181 BDO's story was only awful because there are barely any cutscenes, no lip-sync, no dialogue animations, etc.
@@jayg.2066 I could be wrong, considering that after 28 feckin hours the only story I got was "theres a spoopy demon assisting you and he's sooooo mischievous!" and "there are people that need your help with goblins or some shit" The story doesnt move at all, so who knows, maybe it gets good, but I can only think of Shakespeare's line from polonius "brevity is the soul of wit".
I'll also point out that you dont need cutscenes, lip sync, or dialogue animations, I am a fan of the zelda series which went 25 years without any of that while delivering serviceable stories, and Ace attorney, which still doesn't do anything of the sort, and has great stories.
Honestly, devs that just showcase the game, no bullsh*t talk,This is a green flag. Sure, this is not perfect but at least they don't lie about their product. Unless they make a downgrade buggy mess at launch.
As someone that played Black Desert Online on day one and for a couple of years and now I occasionally check it out to see what's new, I have no doubts that this game is real and will look amazing when it launches. Black Desert is visually amazing, especially for an MMORPG. It was ahead in visuals by a mile when it was first released and it's only gotten better.
With Crimson Desert being a single player game and not an MMORPG, I don't have the worries that I would if they were making another MMORPG. I don't have worries that this game will be grindy. Black Desert is an absolute grind fest but it's also not a single player game. I also don't have to worry about Crimson Desert being pay 2 win like Black Desert cause again, it's a single player game.
The only thing we have to worry about is them releasing a completed game with a compelling story. Black Desert's storyline has been changed around quite a lot since it's release, it's gone through entire reworks of systems, questlines and such. Granted, Black Desert is an MMORPG and should be ever changing and being added to but I just hope that they don't do stuff like that to Crimson Desert, a single player game, and they're able to put out a great story (Black Desert's story can be kinda wonky and boring at times, and was especially boring at release).
I do hope that they do improve the facial animations to be like those in the trailers from years ago and I'd also like them to add some variations to the sounds enemies make because I watched the whole 50min gameplay video and all of the enemies make the exact same "auugh" sound when they're hit and get thrown around.
Though that being said about the facial animations.. it's still a MASSIVE upgrade from the overall animations and cutscenes that're in Black Desert.
I’d rather spend my money on this than AC shadows

Pearl Abyss has an office 5 minutes from my house (Gwacheon, Korea) and I saw that they are recruiting translators for this title. Perhaps there is some hope that dialogue will improve if they hire the right people.
Woo. Could you drop some more infos if you get any
The 3 things I didn’t particularly like from what they’ve shown:
-The facial animations: the look pretty basic, but to be expected from an rpg
-The sprinting: it looks alright in battle as you’re sprinting towards the next foe, but in exploration it looks weird, out of place and kind of over the top
-Everything looking so clean: the game looks pretty new and shiny, as other commenters have said, and I don’t know if it fits the vibe
Overall this looks really nice though and I am sure that this could get a GOTY nomination if the devs succeed with their vision
i mean aesthetics are personal thing and faces and animations yeah not pleasant to look at lol no reflections on skin aswell only in cut scenes
For me it was the disgusting camera which felt way too high for some reason

The village scenes remind me a lot about Skyrim. 13 years and you can still see the influence.
Skyrim's legacy is that it is the base and inspiration of literally every open world rpg you see today. From rdr2 to dragons dogma and what not
I’ll always respect studios that are super transparent. Even if their games are bad.
Cool Gazi’s from DL1 pfp :)
As someone who was working on the game, the studio and this game has so many issues, it's terrible. The last 2 writers quit due to sexual harassment and the game was originally something completely different, which is why they don't have anything but some boss scenes
@@Nimora why are you no longer working there? And do you have any other reason why the game will be terrible besides the writing? The writing isn’t exactly why people played black desert.
@@49HEALTH BD's selling point isn't the same as a standalone action RPG, most people don't play MMO for the story either so what's your point exactly?
@@madmantheepic7278 they clarified multiple times that this isn’t a RPG. It’s an action adventure game. They are leaning away from RPG because they know it isn’t what they are good at.
On the monetization aspect, I think an interesting comparison might be to look at Stellar Blade and the devs (shift up). The Korean game market has been changing a lot in recent years and we might be seeing companies that were making gacha/mobile/mmorpg games (all with heavy monetization), leveraging those to have the resources necessary for higher quality "marquis" products. Products that build your reputation. This would be a great way for those devs avoid becoming stale while getting some good coverage online. Shift Up made one of the most egregious gacha title out there but they also made Stellar Blade which is definitely not aggressively monetized.
If you played Black Desert Online at all, you'll know that the studio is going to nail this game. Black Desert Online has some of the best combat I have ever seen in a video game, and the world is beautiful.
Just because particle sims are better now, doesnt meant you need to turn it all up to 11. I felt sick watching the gameplay because of how all the particles just read as noise.
HOPEFULLY , you can turn it off
You can definitely turn it off if you play on PC
This game is 100% going to be capped at 30FPS on consoles. If it isn’t then we’re gonna have another ac unity or cyberpunk situation
Looks like they are throwing a bunch of crap at the wall and seeing what sticks. But the crap in question looks pretty good! 😂
well said 😂 im here for it
That fight at 13:00 reminds me of Shadow of the Colossus 👀
That's because it is, lol.
What most people who’ve never played Black Desert Online might not know is that the game has one of the best character creation systems of all time - so much so that I initially bought the game specifically to make rpg characters for my own projects.
With that in mind, it would be an absolute shame if we do not get to create our own characters in this story, using the same or even just slightly upgraded system. But so far, all I’ve seen is the same dude in all of the gameplay footage, so I’m a little worried.
If you cant create a protagonist as iconic as Geralt, 2B, or Aloy (and I don’t have confidence that Pearl Abyss can), then you need to let the players create their own characters to fill in the rpg elements themselves.
Having watched fextralife's gameplay impressions, he did mention that there is no character creation.
Definitely a huge shame as it's a super enjoyable part for me, and i miss out on most great character creators because well i don't play multiplayer games.
It's an rpg like rdr2. You get fixed characters like John and Arthur
I think the reason this game looks so impossible is that the devs seem to be VERY economical with their priorities.
I think far too many games nowadays focus on the absolutely meaningless details. Take something simple like the belts and buckles at 15:46. Those looks so flat. But does it matter? The rest looks pretty good. The motion looks good. You probably didn't even notice. But most AAA devs would cope and seethe seeing and not "fixing" that, spending a week remodelling and making it work.
You can find these kinds of "shortcuts" everywhere in the footage. But they are more like... An artist choosing not to render every single point in the painting, only the parts in focus.
In the development process that's definitely true, but things like belts seem somewhat odd to not have physics.
Or, for that matter, animals when they're being carried? Just become frozen.
With how much attention is paid to all the particles and the fur simulation and such, i don't really see them picking between which details to forgo.
Though evidently, as you said. I didn't notice, and even if i likely did if i were playing myself, it'd probably be nothing but a nitpick.
What really put Peal Abyss on the radar for me was the insane character creation, which the industry still hasn't really beat all these years later. More than a bit disappointed their next game doesn't have that feature at all.
Honestly the only things right now I'm curious about are the progression and the monetization. Otherwise this is a game I really want to be hyped for.
Want to be hyped for, or hyped for??? Make up your mind foo
" Crimson desert is gonna be the GTA 6 of the medieval fantasy games probably. "

Well it looks better than Starload-field
I'm interested but i've rarely seen anything as "bullshotty" as this. There have been plenty of tense, eventful, impressive game trailers shown over the past few years that just lead to nowhere.
Eastern developers really taking over. First wukong, now this. Both looked ‘too good to be true’ but both look like the real deal now💯
Ghost of Tsushima added lock on later but I really liked it before that too. The director said it was to add to the feel of being a samurai in a samurai movie where the protagonist often switches targets back and forth through the fight, which translated amazingly to GoT
crimson desert looks so good that i would not even care if there was zero story, i just want to walk around in this amazing looking world.
Am I the only one that is bugged out by how shiny and new everything looks? From the NPC clothing to the houses, walls, etc?
In plywell people have a high standard of cleaning and they always like to dress up fresh
that's what you get when you use the standard pre-baked assets and effects that every other korean/chinese-style game uses.
Finally. Thought im the only one.
@@manuelrapino5917 That's not true at all. Crimson Desert uses the same engine as BDO (or rather an updated/optimized version), where every armor piece has visual degradation. (Most people turn that feature off, because they like to look shiny all the time.) And Pearl Abyss is VERY good at outfit/armor design. My guess is that Crimson Desert just isn't far enough into the "polish" phase yet to focus on those bits of visual realism.
I guess medieval stuff should have been new in some point in story 🤣🤣
I love attacking with rainbows hit effects...just love it..nothing better than multi coloured sprinkles flying around an action game. So awesome....
I was waiting for this review by Steph. This game will cook im sure of it
I just want it to have that red dead factor where you feel like you can just get lost like what you were talking about
Been recently working on my first playthrough of rdr2, and besides some of the gameplay issues i have with it, i don't get that feeling of "play and get lost in the world"
And i think this is in large part because RDR2 like many open world games, including crimson desert or witcher 3 etc. feature too much guidance on where content is.
Watched some youtube video a while back talking about how seeing map markers with highlighted "points of interest" telling you to go there to find the content, which makes the game feel less like a free to use chef's kitchen and more like a buffet.
And that's a huge reason why i think games like skyrim damn near perfected it, because besides floating markers hinting at a nearby ruin or camp, exploration is entirely personal incentive.
Like Luke said, "see a structure in the distance and be intrigued enough to go see what it is" kind of deal.
Elden ring did that rather well too.
@@Verchiel_ How far you a long in the world? So lets take a second to realize that Luke Stephens said himself that rdr2 is one of those games you can get lost in. I happen to agree with him and that is one of my most favorite games to date. My point is that there is 99.9% chance that its one of those games because so many respected people in the video game industry have described it as just that. Just give it some time buddy. Go check it out and explore. There's soooooooo much content and interesting things that happen in the game
Also a point I want to emphasize on is Luke Stephens is a great judge/ analyst of video games. Thats not really an opinion as the numbers and subscribers he has is clear evidence of that.
Seems like it, the hunting, fishing, and also how he carries the animal carcass, the horse taming. This game definitely took many ideas from RDR2. Its basically Assassins Creed meets RDR2.
If the monetization is like BDO I am never touching this. Don’t even care if the gameplay is amazing. Saying that game is predatory is putting it suuuper mildly
Totally agree. MMO players are more accustomed to dropping a ton of cash on a game they are playing, but if they think the same thing is gonna work with single player gamers they are sorely mistaken.
It's a singleplayer game. I don't know how it could have the same monetization as an MMO.

To be completely honest... I don't care what the story is like. I don't care how good the boss fight will or will not be. The game already had my money when I saw how big the world is. Just let me run around in that, run from city to city, beat up some goons and monsters on the way. Let me find some nice loot (the thing Dragon's Dogma 2 failed to do) and I am good. I don't need anything else in a game. lol. A good compelling story or side quests are a nice bonus, though.
Well to be fair, Stellar Blade was one of the best releases this year, but Shift Up's other game (NIKKE) is a gacha, with a lot of ways to get your wallet crying. That being said, there was no extra scummy microtransactions in Stellar Blade (even tho they could just sell ever living crap out of Eve skins). I'm really positive about Crimson Desert being just one time purchase, it would one up Capcom's dragon dogma from start, which had paid teleports and so on.
pretty sure these games are all style over substance
just like Black Desert
Idk why he keeps saying this game looked too good to be true. It looks just above average imo. It doesn't not look too good and it doesn't look fake either.
If you're judging solely by the 2019 trailer it absolutely looks too good to be true.
More recent showcases are more grounded.
What's shown looks really exciting, the visuals look for the most part stellar and there's a crap ton of different mechanics and features shown so far that might not be as fun or engaging as the trailers might look.
As soon as I found out that the creators of Black Desert were making an open-world RPG that DOESN'T have character creation, I was offboard.
Taking the one thing that they're famous for and throwing it in the trash wasn't wise.
21:10 Did he just RKO that guy? 😂
It looks extremely interesting to me. I hope this is not an MMO, or multiplayer.
I just found the info I need. It is single player.
Now I am truly excited!
Knowing Korean devs, about the only thing that will suck is the story but I'm fairly certain that the combat and bosses will live up to expectations. Maybe even the level design.
man i love having so many particle effects from a basic attack that i cannot see what the fuck is happening
Yeah, adds atmosphere
I played BDO a little, by a little I mean a little too much (48.080hrs yes, forty eight thousand) to know by now that Pearl Abyss is really good in building hype for things, but really bad at delivering them. I'm not hating (i still play that god forsaken game), just keeping it real.
Dawg that’s 5 and a half years
You need help, brother.
But yes, Pearl Abyss is the "ideas guy" of game developers.
Checks all the boxes for me I’m very excited for this and I hope it releases in Feb so I can use the cold weather as an excuse to dump 1k hrs into it
Yes this is the next one I’m interested in.
Remember Pearl Abyss also had a project that looks like a Pokemon, yeah it's been years since they announce that so I doubt they could finish this one as well. lol.
This looks like what we'd hoped a next gen Elder Scrolls would eventually become. Here's hoping it can live up to the hype, and has mod support.
Black Myth Wukong also looked to good to be true from a studio that has only worked on mobile games prior.
Black Desert online is far from being the most greedy MMO. You can easily get a massive amount of free stuff that otherwise are locked in the casshshop if you play the even.
They give high tier mount, outfit, item for house, XP booster (massive one like a 530%), and many other minor stuff.
People have always said this for BDO because they never played it and stopped at the cash shop. Because someone is in the cash shop dont mean that you can easily get it while playing.
People also ignore that BDO is one of the rare MMO that have people who only play to commerce, some focus on fishing or going after whale, and some just do their farm stuff.
Two birds, one stone! As far as making an analogy stick for the quests.
My hope is that the monetization side of things is similar to the difference between Stellar Blade and Nikke, where they understand this is a very different type of product and should have everything included in the box price
I feel like up-scaling have impacted the industry rather negatively. Some PS4 games actually look nice and run amazingly without any need of DLSS. RE4 on my PC runs at max 4K almost 100FPS and that game looks awesome fidelity wise. I just think there should be a collective cap on fidelity by the devs to determine a normalized quality level without relying too much on upscaling methods while also maintaining satisfying performance at the very least 60 FPS.
If I hadn't put a couple hundred hours into Black Desert, I wouldn't have nearly as much faith in this game actually functioning.
Hopefully the pop ins aren't as bad as in black desert. It's so bad it's immersion breaking
Cyberpunk was shown a lot before release.
Same with No Man's Sky.
Then there's SW Outhouse, and we can all name several "content creators" that shilled that slop after 4 hours of monotoring by Ubislop, and a trip to Disneyland.

Been looking forward to this game for long time but if they charge me extra in game for *anything* I'm out the games dead to me.
Was really weird watching the recent footage because the bottom of the screen, textures like the stone pavement really starts to warp and bend. xD
I watched it all, the combat system in Crimson Desert appears to be reminiscent of the unawakened warrior class from Black Desert Online. While the game world seems to offer a plethora of options for player interaction and exploration, this same level of variety is notably absent from the combat mechanics. It's disappointing to see a lack of diverse magic systems and weapon types, which would have greatly enhanced the combat experience.
The combat animations, while visually striking, seem to prioritize spectacle over substance. Unlike games such as Stellar Blade, where the flashy combat feels purposeful and well-directed, Crimson Desert's approach appears to lack a clear sense of impact and strategic depth.
The writing and storytelling aspects of the game fall short as well. The narrative seems to suffer from the same uninspired quality often found in many MMOs, not single player games
The world and draw distance are amazing and stunning but im here for a fun single player game with a compelling story this game doesn't appear to offer the depth or engagement I'm looking for in either its gameplay or storytelling aspects.
Oh god its Pearl Abyss? Fuck no. Boring as ass grind 2nd job games. I swear all Korean MMORPGs lure you in with amazing graphics and then it's so boooooring.
I was extremely skeptical of CD when I first saw it and they talked up everything in it. But this past Gamescom, how confident they were in not just everything they showed off, the volume, the quality, and everyones hands on impressions. Im more than convinced this game is everything said and more. That year they took off, they must have really knuckled down and worked hard on this. It even makes me excited for the potential of DokeV
24:25 You are not a prick if you always wait for a sale - deeper the better.
If this game turns out to be great that will be another win coming from a SK developer these guys have been are on a roll so far.
i kinda trust the graphics because the studio also does black desert online, which looks good too; i believe it will be well optimized and run well on consoles and a decent range of pc specs
Hope they release a demo..!
I just need it to run decent enough cause those particle effects are BONKERS. Need it.
As someone who did put many hours into Black Desert, I am very intrigued by it. From what I understand it seems to not really be an mmo, and more of a single player/co-op thing? Which I'm not upset about.
BDO looked amazing visually, and had some of the best feeling combat of most mmo's that I've played before. If they manage to carry that over to Crimson and even improve on it, they'll be in a very good place. But most of all, I hope they carry over gameplay from the different classes in bdo - In these demos they all seem to be showcasing this same guy
If he is a fixed main character, and it's not a player customizable character, that would be a MASSIVE failure in the eyes of the BDO fanbase. BDO still has one of the most in depth character creators of any game, and it's been like 8 years since it came out. And the different classes in the game were all so cool and fun to play. I played the crap out of the Ranger class mainly, as well as a bit of Mystic and Dark Knight.
BDO had a really cool thing with their classes called "Awakening" that you didn't get until after level 56. And it basically unlocked a whole second half to your character. For example the Ranger starts out as a ranged character using a bow, and then after awakening to can swap into being a melee character with dual short swords. So you basically had two separate combat kits you could swap between mid battle, and they had really cool attacks that were transitional attacks that you used when swapping. Every class had a thing like that, and it was such a cool idea that I hope they carry over some semblance of in Crimson.
From what they've mostly shown so far they are focusing on the open world aspects, the combat, and the story - which in my opinion were the things that bdo actually did very well. BDO also had lifestyle skills - which in my opinion were really bad. So I hope they are taking what they learned and carrying it over, and doubling down on the best parts of bdo to make something really cool.
You ever played BDO? This game is EXACTLY like it. Also, the translation, story and plot will be just as poor. Most people don't play MMOs for story so it's fine there, but this? This is gonna be such a shallow hack and slash game.
This is looking like what DD2 was supposed to be lol.
I did a Video on this Developer and am VERY excited for the future Games. Love their proprietary engine and their focus on FUN!
I don't think this is too good to be true.
Black Myth wukong was accused of the same.
So far we mostly see a very characterized combat system and decent graphics. Nothing to make me fall my chair after wukong.
The place I'm waiting for the devs is about story, immersion, side content, possibilities and RPG elements.
Because it seem like They don't aim to make another generic action rpg (although wukong proved to be a GREAT one) but a genuine open world similar to the witcher or such.
I'm watching this as much as I look for the new game that is in beta (don't remember the name, but it's very dark and gritty and happens in king's arthur mythology)
as the start of new interesting universes to replace the ones that hold the top spot for decades
The thing about the quests sounds too good to be true. I wish it was a thing in games so badly, like multiple people asking you to deal with a problem, and if you miss one potential quest giver but complete the objective anyway they just thank you when you talk to them instead of paying like the ones that asked before you did the objective
Why is everything so bright and shiny? This irritates me a lot.
I guarantee there will be a store with crazy monetization. In an early trailer, you see the protagonist playing a flute wearing a teddy bear hat! Oh there will be monetization alright from skins to instruments, weapons even skins for his crow cape. Mounts you name it. They are definitely going to do a ubisoft. Even i can see the opportunities from a corporate perspective.
Blows my mind these huge game/media company's dont have someone that can encode on their team.
I hate boss fights but looking forward to play this on my plain PS5 . Thanks for the video❤
I’m sorry Luke but GTA 6 running at 30fps is not a negative at all; ultra hardcore gamers and people who play on PC care b/c they’re always chasing the endless hunt for the highest fidelity and performance possibility. Mainstream and casuals won’t care at all. If you’re used to playing all games in a certain frame going up or down will be little jarring and difficult. But I think for most a steady and solid 30fps is great and perfect especially if you’re talking about a heavy narrative driven single player title. I always choose fidelity over performance b/c I love to see how far developers can push the detail and the granular visuals of their games. Give me a nice 30 over 60 any day of the week if we’re talking single player open-worlds 🙂
Dropping 50mins of gameplay, shows the devs trust their product
Hearing Luke promote new world makes me a lot better about my purchase.
Something I'm deathly curious about is how gear progression, levels (if there are any) and overall exploration rewards factor in. If I explore a cool cave and all I get out of it is a potion or something, I'm gonna get pissed.
Also, they have been ADAMANT in letting Kliff only use a sword and a shield as his weapon. Can we use other weapons at all or are we locked to sword and board? I don't mind if we are, but the UI is super unclear about whether or not we can change our playstyle. Do we learn new moves? How's character growth gonna be like, gameplay wise?
Things to consider.
If PA treats this the way they bdo, it wont last long. They only take feedback from KR and don't fix anything regarding balance
It's look promising but sometimes it's in the limit to be too copy-pasted of other games ideas/mechanics... hope they mix a little bit more all the mechanics, story, etc for the game to get a more unique personality...
100% agree. How will it be more than a collage?
Will you do a video like this for Stalker 2. The hype is also very high for it. Its the 5th moist wish listed game on steam
He already has.
@@rafterman5072 no he hasnt. He's made a video on his react channel though
@@cxngo8124 He already said he played it and it wasn’t good. I am guessing he will review it when it comes out.
I don't know how the game will look on release, but if someone has to zoom in on a high res video, just to find some fuzziness to knit pick, then they are picking too much knit.
If the camera is always looking in the direction the character looks, that mechanic makes the game easier on PC. Some devs don't want players to have a better experience on PC, in fact regardless of what bullshit they tell you, I would put money on most AAA devs not wanting a player having a better experience on PC. They could at least make it optional.
Whenever you see "gameplay" without UI, or gameplay in a trailer, always assume it's bullshit. A trailer is for advertising the game, it's always manipulative by nature.
Looks million times better than the generic western slop we get nowadays. And best of all, not a souls-like.
I do hope they add some self shadows, characters and buildings look very flat
That Captain Titus statue in the background ❤❤❤
from east this year three games shocked me, wukong, astro bot and crimson desert
honestly, any korean studio will deliver 1000% better than a western studio. i mean we are used to it by now.
Good lord my eyes! they need to reduce the contrast, the sky is white half the time lmao, is the sun about to explode?
I mean Wukong already released, graphically it's the most impressive looking game every, the boss fights are seriously impressive the visual effects, the animation the spectacle, so I no longer have doubts that this is a real game. But my main complaint is why did they make their "Fantasy" world so freaking bland? I really don't like this type of European medieval fantasy and it looks very vanilla. The trailer looks very good yet nothing in the trailer looks very interesting tbh. It looks like a very graphically impressive Ubisoft game.
