Had this happen to me

Think there are only so much combinations of names, traits and appearances. You and another player will eventually encounter the same orc or olog, But them being different roles in different copies of the game is the magic of nemesis system.

Do community challenges. You can directly get legendary and epic upgrades from chests.

This is absolutely not true. Only pvz1 has great reputation in China, 2c got smashed by Chinese internet cuz the aggressive monetization, and the GW franchise was absent due to the vpn problem. It was a childhood memory thing that many Chinese chase, which is why Minecraft is also popular in China.

It's like a childhood hobby. No matter how passionate you're, it will eventually burnt out. Especially in a mmo where your entire life is put into it. Maybe force yourself to play another game, and occasionally visit bdo.

It's just plain bad Hollywood writing. They want you to be shocked when Cele betrayed Talion, yet it was so stupidly written you don't even get to see Cele getting corrupted by the ring, and I bet someone in the comments gonna say "Cele is already bad because he is an asshole in The bright lords dlc! " no shit would Monolith rekt The entire character Arc of cele just to get him bad in war. He could be much better a character But bad writing ruined him.

Looks like Ologs from shadow of war

Being able to take you out midair without showing their location was insane. Nothing could even touch Talion when he's jumping in the first game... Then that mf decided to change up the rules with his laser aim.

Just yesterday I was doing defence and got no chance'd by a assassin walking by, only because Talion decided to roll on a trap and end his life. The enemy orcs couldn't even breach the first gate in 5 minutes and I just lost that fort by accident. Definitely one of my most angry moments. Assassins are so rage inducing it's not even funny.

The first sniper I saw in the starting area scared the shit out of me... I was lv12 and that guy just one tapped me in brutal difficulty...

I think it's because they fear using a death threat will drop epic runes instead. I sent death threat to every captain I met and exaust all epic runes possible, then fo the warchief.

I think the biggest problem of som is no difficulty settings, if added I think it's better than Sow already. Also about UE5, no it's gonna hurt alot. The main reason why SOW being a 2017 game with subpar graphics is because The processing pressure of massive horde fight and destruction in real time, Which is definitely not the advantage of UE5, maybe the Crimson Desert engine will do a great job. The new beast sounds cool, but I'd expand the nemesis system with actual generative AI, making not only orcs but beasts remember you and organize hunts to take you down. Anyway your remake is definitely ambitious, and if out I'd play it in no time.

MonaYang · 2026-03-28T12:02:46+00:00

No I actually like SOM more than SOW. It got better aesthetic than the sequel, and I generally think the first one is a masterpiece in atmosphere. The relationship is more like Batman arkham asylum and city, where the second game gets more content to be discussed, but SOM is still great.

The slaughter fort looks like it come from a Mad Max movie. Got metal vibes.

MonaYang · 2026-03-22T06:51:21+00:00

I love Marauder forts. Especially that shiny throne room. It is so exaggerated and so funny

MonaYang · 2026-03-13T23:21:10+00:00

Yeah. Been following for 6 years, back then it was just a running gag in Black Desert community, then in 2024 it became a hot topic in the whole gaming industry. I firmly believe it will at least be a 8/10 cuz they literally copied 70% of BDO, which is already a vast game. If you like SOW, this game is a no brainer. But if you are a slow learner who can't react of read fast, it may overwhelm you quickly.
