I fell in love with this game ever since 2015 but only got to play now. And I have to say I gave it 70 hours but it disappointed me to great extent. No pvp damage info, broken class attributes (my friends witch mana drained yet I had it more than 90% with 7abilities spam In hot keys with knight at same lvl). If you have a friend to play with it can be good or else it's utter waste of time. Endless grind pay to win, poor optimization, you either 1 hit enemies or they 1 hit you there's no in between, shallowest story I ever played. Mind you I tried really hard to like it but it completely failed to engage me.
Damn Assist you really kicked the hornets nests Lmao
Runs at 60fps on xbox one s ?
We should definitely be able to hide the chat box or something
In my opinion this game was grindy, but offered more things to do then your typical grind. I focused more on life skills and just occasionally fought monsters. The UI felt a bit strange and took some time getting use to it. Plus the tutorial could have explained waaay more.
This game is great it's just everyone in today's society wants instant gratification, if it's something that takes time immediately they label it bad, lol Tera is bad, blizzard games are trash
Hahaha it's a beta, man give it a break.
Hopefully you will understand this game is awesome. I have soooooo much experience with games even in beta stage. I'm confused why you never tried to add your buddy as s friend in game. Then go off your in game friend list to invite him. I'm sorry I couldn't finish the video you're bashing a game I love lol This game kills Neverwinter in my eyes in so many ways. Hopefully you will try again & have a better experience. Every issue that you had I didn't. Also you need an Xbox one x & 4k HDR TV to go 4k & adjust the HDR brightness and contrast in game. If you don't meet these requirements you will not see these options in the game. You should get the X it will fix alot of issues.
ive never played this game before but im looking forward to it also you tried to get your friend to join in during a tutorial which is a no no in almost every game ever
> combat it shouldn't be like that
well the combat system is the only good thing in the game. The combo system makes it more interactive, compared to nearly everything else "Action RPG". if you want something simpler fine. but the combo system isn't bad, it just doesn't appeal to people who can only manage having 5 skills.
nearly everything else in the game is trash especially on the xbox.
This guy needs to play with a veteran at least. So he can get a better grasp. If you play in hdr mode its not bright and to coop get on the same server. No days some people want their hand held
Me and my friends went into this game blind as well. Just saw a notification for a free beta was coming up so we tried it out. The graphics was definitely one thing that was wrong. It reminded me of Ark when it was released on Xbox one where it just looks sprayed on the screen but I'm sure options will be available after release (which is still TBD I believe).
I do agree with alot of your negatives in this video but I feel like they may be a little biased. For example, we learned how to party up, make a clan, and a guild within a matter of 10 minutes by just looking in the menus. Part of MMO's is not hand holding you thru these steps. It was a little frustrating but learning these things make you feel accomplished as well and you can then help others. That's how the community works.
I think you may be wanting the actual game to be a different way than it is. The combat is very fluid to me even for a beta and I'm a huge combo fan because I'm a Tekken player. Think you just have to go in on a clean slate and you'll enjoy it more.
Bro ass don't know anything and black desert has the nicest community out there
When does this releases?
Bro its a beta…. show me a game that came out on beta with no frame drops, glitches, and cosmetic issues. Don't overly exaggerate common BETA issues, makes for ill-advised and obviously unresearched content. Graphics far superior over NW and Diablo dude. Worst comparisons EVER!
I wish they would just give us FFIV
The clock is in game time, though that should seem obvious to be frank. Though admittedly BDO does not have the polish and Quality of life to instantly win over new players. They need to revamp the core experience instead of piling on more grindy content.
I mean BDO has MANY flaws, but this was slightly overblown. By MMORPG standards, this game has the best combat and visuals around. Consider the PC version as the standard. The graphics are dumbed down for console for obvious reasons, but I dare you to find an mmo that looks more "next gen" than BDO maxed out on a PC. This game could have been so much more but I also feel it deserves praise where it is due.
First impressions are a bad way to evaluate a game bro. A lot of games get better as you go.
you need to choose the same server with your friend, and then look for him in-game in velia for example tell him you meet him there its an open world game so… :v
Clock is – in game time only because there are day and night features to the game that you don’t know about. Same goes for putting away your weapons. Your first impression is terrible because your complaining about things you have no clue what you’re talking about. Just saying.
I think this game is not for you I love the combo system the game has some problems I didn't run into that many frame drops there was a lot of bugs but black desert is mostly Grind to pvp pve isn't the best Honestly the game ran better then I thought
In 45 minutes i bought a house and a boat. The biggest promblem is the screen size and the inability to adjust screen size. Enemies cant be seen at times Combo system good. Lock on system is clunky but should be easy fix
Dude just hit rt it pulls yo weapon out.
100% truth. Sadly.
In my opinion I don't think you gave the game enough time since you went in with a "first impression" mentality. The first few things you pointed out in kinda agree, with the censorship of ass from assist and the graphics. The censorship can be annoying but that can be fixed easily when the full release comes out, but the graphics is another story. I understand that it can be to bright and the graphics can look like mud, but you have to understand that this is a huge mmo on a console so it would make since for low graphics and frame drops for something this big. Secondly the combat in my opinion is perfect, but you might not understand why so let me explain. This combat system which you thought were all combos is very detailed and takes a long time to get a hang of especially for the sorceress which is the hardest class by far to learn. It's just because when you take an asian mmo it's likely to have a lot of buttons which is why to preform a skill you need to press "back LB" or something like that. But take it from me it is doable and when you get the hang of it it becomes really fun. I don't have time to go over everything but if you have questions don't hesitate to comment me it. I reached maxed level with sorceress and played a 24 hours straight so don't be afraid to ask me anything.
"its going to be a free 2 play game" xDDDDDDD you just dnt know where you have stepped at bro, just leave that trash before p2w hits like it just did in PC
