  1. I haven't played that one, my cousin warned me off, he said it was absolutely scheisse.
  2. So I suddenly developed this obsession for World War II so if I'm not playing Black Desert Online I'm busy with Company of Heroes.
  3. Xenosaga was a bit of a disappointment for me. I'm still waiting for the next Suikoden game which may come out after half a millennium.
  4. Impressive trailer but the game itself is scheisse? Hmmm not happy about it.
  5. My cousin bought the Spiderman game but it looks toned down compared to the trailers before. Did they reduce the quality of the graphics?
  6. It was amazing and took them 2 years, if I'm not mistaken. Their level of patience and dedication is astounding. I wonder if they can recreate Calpheon City in Minecraft too...
  7. Checking it out. The only games I am aware of from Atlus are the Persona series and Evil Zone.
  8. I've seen a video where they recreated Midgard from Final Fantasy VII.
  9. RPGs are actually the best genre of games, imho. Especially JRPGs, I love them. I think fail videos are in these days. And really hilarious videos of guys playing horror games then screaming their lungs off. Have you guys watched Poiised? I watch his videos sometimes while I go AFK fishing in Black Desert Online.
  10. Welcome to the forum and I hope you enjoy.
  11. I'm not very good with fighting games but I loved some of the characters from that series, especially Bridget and Noel. I wouldn't call God of War retro, unless I want Kratos to rip me in half. Currently deciding if I'll give Closers a try.
  12. I don't know... One day I couldn't expressed myself anymore. Whatever I wrote was no longer satisfying to me.
  13. My uncle plays that too from time to time and really enjoys it. I think we can consider PS1 games to be retro now?
  14. GLOCO from the Philippines playing Cat Mario is over the top madness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IyTaJh_eF0
  15. oh, a fellow Dante fan. I'm looking forward to Sekiro too, the visuals look good like Black Desert Online and I'm always interested in games that show other cultures. Cyberpunk feels like Grand Theft Auto (haven't played it but have seen it numerous times to be familiar) so I'll probably pass on that. Deus Ex looks better imho.
  16. Welcome. I hope you enjoy the ambience here. It's nice to see new people joining in.
  17. Yes, you cannot place your trust on other players so easily. So whoever thought of the Marketplace or Auction House is a genius. It's a far cry from other MMOs that still allow for direct trading with other players. This is one of the features I like in Black Desert Online and I've never been scammed, not once.
  18. Oh OK, I'll still spend time on Black Desert Online then. i just bought my first boat so I'm thinking about exploring the sea for a change. I just hope I don't encounter sea monsters.
  19. Not directly; apparently it's to avoid being scammed by other players, according to the developers. There's an auction house or marketplace for that, which makes trading safer.
  20. I wouldn't say that about magical girls. But reverse harems and space operas, sure.
  21. Hi to all! Ever heard of the game Black Desert Online? It's one of the most visually stunning MMOs that came out. Recently the remastered update was released wherein the game has been improved on once again. This MMO is a buy to play game; it means you need to buy one of their "packages" so you can have full access. I had bought the most affordable (read cheapest lol) package they have and so far I am enjoying myself. I hope you get to try it too. I encourage you to give it a try. It's free to access right now until the 5th of September. Now while I am gushing about this game, like all else, there is no perfect game and there are also flaws that I would be discussing on. If you have some insight, please feel free to share it to me, too. So here we go. I'll keep it short and sweet. Graphics: 3.5 out of 5 stars As I said above, it is visually stunning, especially now that the remastered update was released. The world (and Black Desert Online is an open world game so you can expect it to be quite wide) is lovingly rendered that you can waste time just admiring the scenery. The characters and costumes are well detailed too. In fact, you can design your character to look like a famous character. This may eat up your time when you're designing your ideal husbando or waifu. Lol With that said, the remastered graphics will only work with high-end PCs. So if you're using a potato PC (I find that expression cute ) then you might want to think twice about upgrading. The graphics can be intense at times too and I find my eyes watering from time to time. Audio: 4 out of 5 The soundtrack is simply amazing; sometimes I just close my eyes and listen. Depending on the situation it can be relaxing (during peacetime) or adrenaline-pumping (during battles). Gameplay: 3 out of 5 Battles are dynamic; skills can be done by pressing a combination of keys (shift + right click for example) or you can be assigned to a skill slot (press 1 to throw a bolt of lightning). Grinding exists here too! Yes, there is no escaping the grind, no matter what MMO you are playing. The good thing about Black Desert is there are a lot of things to do: I go AFK fishing while reading a manga or watching an anime at times. I can go on a joyride on my horse or boat, I can stay at home and cook food. Quick warning: in-game currency has weight. So your character cannot be a walking storage with a hundred or more silver coins inside the pocket. You have to store everything in the warehouse which is available in every town. Cash shop: 3 out of 5 Yes, there is a cash shop too. Games need to generate revenue too or else it will close. While Black Desert Online is not blatantly "pay to win" (there is no uber powerful weapon in the cash shop that I can buy with a swipe of the card) there are items, pets, and costumes that can make life easier. Not necessary as you can go by without it (like I do) but yeah who wants to tough it out? Enhancement system: 2.5 out of 5 Like every MMO game, you need to enhance your equipment. While Black Desert Online is forgiving (your armor and weapons won't go bye-bye if you fail to enhance, but the durability drops) it's still a pain to enhance your gear to the level that you want. Like all games, you have to farm for the materials. Keep a pad of Stresstabs near you. Story: 3 out of 5 Very linear, rarely any plot twists, can be skipped if you just want to grind but not recommended as completing a certain storyline or mission will give good rewards. Overall: 4 out of 5 While not flawless, I would still recommend this to all my friends. You can get satisfaction just about everywhere, whether if you like battling against monsters, engage other players in duels, or just admiring the overall scenery and ambiance.
  22. FGO NA or JP? I'll be looking up Sekiro, sounds interesting. I saw that there will be a Gears of War 5?
  23. So what games are you looking forward to playing this year? What are you currently playing now? I'm an avid Black Desert Online player, but I also play Fate/Grand Order and Honkai Impact on my mobile. I'm looking forward to playing the following games: NieR: Automata (will be gifted by my uncle) Devil May Cry 5 Resident Evil VII (actually NO, I have feeling I'll pass out but I'll get NieR: Automata as a gift if I play RE VII)
  24. Oh, good to know! I'm glad to see a fellow Black Desert Online player here. I hope we get to meet in-game, if we are on the same server. I play on SEA server. No CS:GO for me. I think I said it before but I get dizzy sometimes when playing FPS games.
  25. Japan has the good stuff. Have you played any game from the Atelier series? If no, give it a try.
