In this video, Nixxiom is checking out Corepunk, a new MMORPG, and seeing if it's worth its salt. Will the game be worth it, or will it end up being a big disappointment? Spoiler, this MMO ended up being a huge surprise! Although perhaps at first Corepunk might seem grindy and slow-paced, what lies beneath the surface is a ton of potential for a community rich MMO experience. But what do you all think? Is Corepunk worth playing?

See you all in game!
censoring art=red flag. I r out nixxipixxi.
I disagree that Corepunk's quest system is "like vanilla WoW." Vanilla WoW used to tell you where you needed to go, at least a direction and a place name. Corepunk gives you no indications at all. Even Morrowind quests had rudimentary instructions. Corepunk's design isn't old-fashioned, it doesn't indicate "lack of handholding," it's just badly designed under the guise of "old-fashioned MMO."
They released an update literally a couple of days ago which introduces map markers for the general area your objective is located. It's something at least. This is still in the testing phase, but the developers are looking at feedback. The recent update has definitely helped locate quest objectives.
@benw3090 That's actually great news! Thanks for letting me know!
I do agree with this, but its early access and its not meant to fully be like this, the early game design even had markers over NPC heads, Im sure they will keep updating it to find a sweet spot, while keeping the theme park out of the game
@@Sinkatze I'm with you! I'm looking forward to changes, I really like the aesthetic of the game.
if you read the quest in the journal it gives you a location hint as well as you can play the audio to get other hints. it usually gives a good indicator. and if you're still lost you can always ask global chat for a pin. and yeah. the npcs also give pins on quests too. so i didn't have this experience.
On their website if you click no for “are you over 18” it redirects you to baby shark on youtube
no way
I'm so happy you enjoyed the voiceover in this game because I voiced three of the characters! There are some AI voices as placeholders until voiceover artists are hired, but they're pretty obvious when you hear them - however, if you come across Lily Baxter, Shawna Steelheart, or Lingua, those gals are all me! When I saw you posted this, I got super excited that you played something I was in and clicked immediately. :D Hopefully I'll get the chance to try Corepunk out in the next few months. I love your videos Nixxiom - thank you for all you do!
AI voices are just placeholders? Man, that's exactly how Ai voices should be used. I might give the game a try later. Sounds promising.
@@sharktos3218 That's what I was told from the guy I work with. And yes, as a voiceover artist whose industry is always in jeopardy now thanks to AI, I'm right there with ya! :D
Great job!
@@Npc_Nate Thank you so much! :D
Ah awesome! I voiced some characters too! It was fun! :D
if league and WOW had a baby itd be this
Well, saying you gave a game a chance doesn't mean much if you got paid to do it.............
i honestly believe 99% of mmorpg gamers don't like video games.
Nixxiom saying, "I didn't like this until I did" isnt controversial lol that's everything.
when they paid him he started liking the game
Tediumpunk. Let's stop glorifying bad design as "difficulty" please. Lack of quest markers/locations is unacceptable - even vanilla wow had them, and vanilla wow also had questhelper mods, over 20years ago. Resource scarcity and mob density are both atrocious, they can barely support one player, that's why you can't find shit. Downtime after combat is also a bit over the top and needs to be tuned.
Devs need to put basic quality of life stuff in the game or their game is dead on arrival. They'll take the early access money and then shutdown after a while. This thing is going nowhere without a massive overhaul where it matters.
He mentioned lazypeon in his video, and that guy wanted to kill himself the whole time he was playing this. Go watch his full video.
there's handhelding and there's Corepunk.
Seems like devs dont like anything inbetween.
Corepunk has so many issues that needs to be resolved to be fun, if it was an nostalgic oldschool mmo it wouldnt be this dead a couple of months after the release
4:14 Incorrect, that's poor game design, olschool games still had the npcs that were like "my son dug some holes, but now the lazy bastard is drinking the day away in the tavern"
Got to tavern, find son, hey where did you dig those holes? "Out west you'll see a big ass tree, continue past that and you'll find the area"
The gave you direction, just not markers.
I'll stick to turtle wow
duuude i just came to this video because turtle wows pve server fuckin crashed xDDDD
Game is pretty fun. My issue with it is there is just too much gambling. Its more so developed to be addicting than satisfying. And its an awful design that you lose your materials when you fail a craft.
Not a fan of that kind of system. FF14 does crafting so well because it rewards good gameplay and high effort to get better materials
MMO's have been a dying genre for me personally. My first ever MMO was Ragnarok Online in 1998 and nostalgia from that game at that time feels almost exactly what Corepunk is going for, it really is not for everyone, but for us old school games this is the only type of MMO we could ever get back into.
The fact that the gameplay style is exactly like a MOBA which is a genre I played for many years too, makes it even better
I will be waiting a bit longer for full release or maybe less to get into Corepunk.
Very excited for the games evolution!
Great review thank you!
this is a paid review, so dont expect honesty other than sugar coating the game.
Repeat after me: lack of basic QoL features isn't "hard-core". It's just lazy development.
Corepunk is not challenging, it's just frustrating.
How is it lazy if it's intentional?
@@rawrawr6666lol because being lazy is intentional by definition, it doesn't happen by chance.
corepunk is going be for older gamers, new gamers need to have everything handed to them
While I know it's unfair to compare the two games I think a lot of people will try compare this to other open PvP games like Ashes of Creation or Albion Online. I hope it can stand on it's own two feet
This is the most promising mmo in development
Glad you gave it a chance dude I’m really enjoying it myself.. those world bosses don’t fk around though lmao. One thing I would like though is the npc either marking an approximate area or a bit more detail like travel past the corn field to the right of the tractor and continue heading left and ull find said thing.
They did this for first quests now! Experimental
@ I did notice that tonite!
I wanna get this game but am worried that it doesn't have any players playing it do u have an estimate on how many people u see/think play it thank you
Will this game come on steam ? and also will there be a sale ?
They have to allow refunds if it's on steam.
@@painangainsThey also take a huge cut.
I am genuinely interested and have been since its announcement, but no Steam?
i jumped from corepunk to albion, no regrets
Albion has already nailed a bunch of things that Core Punk could borrow from. I was an Albion player from the way back when it wasn't even released yet. I ended up leaving the game because it just became mega guilds running everything. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the combat, weapon variety, gear variety, gathering, and crafting. Hell Gates is one of the coolest ideas, would love to see that kind of thing done more.
garbage game, look at the quests. its just fetch quests and kill quests lmao. no actual gameplay, just grind mindlessly. ofc sponsored video glazing it.
quest: kill 10 rats... wow guys next gen mmo.
You can play Sims if you want to don't hurt anyone.
artifacts are your stat increases gear is pure cosmetic
every review is sponsered
I don't think it will do well. It wants to push old school grind type play with forced end game PvP. They just won't get the players.
I honestly love the design, the style, the classes (eagerly waiting for more), and the action combat (even though it feels sort of slow at times).
But the first time you get ganked by a lvl 20 on your lvl 12 while your just wandering around trying to farm some nodes worth farming, and you lose 2 hours of materials that they eagerly pick up and wander off, you'll realize that this game is going to just die unless they resolve their differences. They either need to make a PvP game like Albion, or reduce the PvP allot and make it a PvE game. They're trying both and it will fail, as most game who try this do.
Yeah I enjoy the game but so far only in burst, I can't sit there all day trying to do a handful of quest, so I just waste a few hours on 1 then take a break for a couple days lol
So I've been playing this game since early access and I'm level 20. This is my feedback. Gameplay wise this is an MMO is something I always wanted and I enjoy it a lot. Open world PVP is also fun and I like the karma system. Okay now for the bad (and it's a lot). Most glaring issue is the lack of content. Once you hit 20 there's very little to do. Also, I have a counterpoint on the voice acting. This is one of the worst voice acting I've ever heard. Given how you were level 5 at the end of your session you didn't notice it, but later on the game is pretty much all AI generated and the voice of characters randomly swap mid dialog. It's so bad it makes the world feel souless. There are so many glitches (the seed quest right now is glitched and wont work as an example). Forming a party is a nightmare. Crafting percentages increases also don't make sense. I can't tell if i don't gain a percentage on a craft if it's a glitch or intended. There's 0 feedback on the menu. Lack of guilds is also an issue. In summary this is a mess that feels pre alpha. Maybe in a year this can be considered my favorite MMO of all time. Right now however I can't recommend as it gives you about 2 weeks of buggy content and that's about it.
quest objective area marked now
This feels like a better Diablo or even Titan quest but with more MMORPG flavor. My brain didnt catch enough about the combat or skills, but it seems like some nice fun after day's work.
PS. You put "Number 8" text in pros 2 times.
The voice acting is actually not good. There are a select few npcs, mainly in the starting area, that are actually voice acted. Most of them are AI voices that sound pretty bad. I’ve encountered a few non-voiced or misspelled dialogue and sometimes misleading quests.
I heard the ai voices are just placeholders
The fact the game doesn’t have visually distinct armor and weapons makes me completely uninterested.
It does 😅...
@@mcschipper I think what he is trying to say is that when you get a new artifact piece that is more powerful than your previous one, the item has no visual cosmetic affect on your characters body. Unlike other traditional MMORPGs when you get a cool epic shoulder piece everyone in the game can see that on your character.
@@proto-t7k but if you don't like the look of the new piece?)
@@kolyagreen1566 it doesn't matter if it is new piece of armor or old piece of armor this particular game has no cosmetic effect on the artifacts being worn by the character, the only way to gather new armor skins is random loot drops
@@proto-t7k Yep, and it's better!
that's cool and all. but when's it coming out? I don't want my stuff wiped at the end of EA
I tried it but the combat and movement felt awful, also it's lacking WASD.
try "no rest for the wicked"
I'm having a ton of fun with corepunk, I've wanted this kind of mmo for so long.
Gaslighting at it's finest
18+?
10:00 Wildstar? **Double-checks gameplay**
Have those people never seen League of Legends? Cause that's exactly what this looks like, but more open and with stuff to do.
Hell, Heroes of the Storm should come to mind before Wildstar...
bro, there was di ldo on that table beside the poster of the female near the beginning of the video.... lol lmao!!! bro bro really. lol
You didn't see that!
no steam...rip
didn’t ask
@@ShinryuRQsDidn't ask if you asked
@@sharktos3218 you spent 2 weeks being pressed over this when everyone else moved on btw - touch grass
@@sharktos3218 literally couldn’t imagine being your level of cringe
@@ShinryuRQs didn't ask
i might try this
Hehehehe
Your channel is dead so you end up doing shitty sponsorship. Just quit already.
I'm not a fan of 6th person view though tbh but this looks interesting.
Sorry, but PoE2 is better
Oh god... not a MAGA hat in the background 😮💨
It says Azeroth not America
@MrNoPro I want to believe you. Too blurry in the video. Still, I heard Nix say he's OK with 4 more years.
Feels bad 😮💨
