Knew the story and systems would be trash coming from Korean MMO devs, but hearing it's buggy with trash bosses is very disappointing :francis: When Black Desert came out, I said it lacked dungeons and raids, now I know why, the devs can't do bosses :francis:

Burzum Filososfem is a a classic. You're missing out. He's a nazi and a bad person though

Exactly so Im not missing out on shyt. You can listen to a admitted white supremacy if you want.

Im a black man so I wont.

Its a litany of bands making better music than that shyt. Agalloch took his whole flow and did it ten times better. I can name like twenty atmo bm bands off the top of my head Id rather listen to just off of them making better music

My biggest concern that will make or break this game is whether the open world is interesting or not.

I complained about Ghost of Tushima/Yotei, Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West. The games were good but I had to rush the story.


Skyrim, Witcher 3 exploration was always interesting because of hidden lore, stories, and content.

nah nah go back to the original thread :skip: none of that all afterthefact posting when its safe shyt

they could have probably kept the map the same and just added a bit more bio diversity. like the entire first half is green grass/forrest, and the second is desert, green and brown.

Capcom have a bunch of biomes already for monster hunter. Would have loved some snowy mountains, swamps, beaches, more diversity in the cave system. Etc.

And yeah, it’s very easy to get OP which kind of breaks all the other systems of the game. Like the mini-bosses just turn into regular enemies, the nighttime becomes basically the same as the day with wights and ghost things, the dragons are actually easier than the regular mini-bosses. Etc.

I didn’t even need to camp anymore after a while.

The last part is definitely true. You’ve probably fought 90% of the enemies in the game already if you’re a few hours into the game

Another point of contention is not just a lack of enemy variety but it’s a lack of proper enemy encounter design. The game lets you jump off things, climb up on things, throw things like boulders and explosive barrels but they never put you in unique situations to do any of it. The lack of good enemy placement give you less strategic options. Whats the point of stealth and all these mechanics if you are just running into trolls and wolves constantly on the road or scattered in the Forrest.

A good example of a game that does this well is obviously BG3, but also BoTW/ToTK. They put you in spots where you have a good view overlooking enemy encampments with boulders and trees and bombs you can roll down at them, etc.

I think i only got a few hours into new game + before i was like whats the point? Lol

Its not like the story was that great or there’s multiple routes to go

The entire relationship/romance system needs to be bushed if we’re keeping it 100%

Like why this nikka Brant blushing at me, i haven’t done anything for him to be acting sweet :dahell:


Posted all this as i was nearing end game.

It was mid and im mad i wasted 60 hours on it
