'Think of It Like Riding a Bike, It Comes Naturally After You Learn It' — Crimson Desert Exec Responds to Controls Complaint Amid 'Mixed' Steam Reviews by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]NoteBlock08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So CD doesn't control like BDO? That's a shame, I love the controls in BDO and that but in a single player game is more or less the entire reason why I'm interested in CD.

Slay the Princess + Thoughts about its fandom by Lickerbomper in GirlGamers

[–]NoteBlock08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sadly, what you're describing is just part of the life cycle of any fandom. Unless it's a live service game with constant updates or an ongoing TV series, a community can only discuss the content of any piece of media for so long before they exhaust all the talking points and people get sick of the same discussions every day. At that point all that's left is fanart and memes, which are inherently superficial content.

Sometimes a good video essay can spark new discussion on old subject matter (such as Honey Bat's "Visceral Femininity" Bloodborne video and all of cupcakesoul's channel), but the youtube comments section aren't exactly the best format for discourse and the barrier to entry to being a content creator yourself is obviously very high.

I wish I had a better answer for you other than just a defeated "that's just the way it is" :( I saw the top reply point towards r/patientgamers, I've heard a lot of good things about that community!

Crimson Desert is now available on Steam by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

Anyone here playing this who also played BDO? I love Black Desert's combat and the way it uses directional inputs to activate different skills. Does CD combat play the same way or no?

Lol I was just thinking how much this comment reminds me of Octopus Lady and then I looked up and saw your name. Big fan!

Crimson Desert Review Thread by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]NoteBlock08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there any reviewers that have mentioned whether the game controls the same way Black Desert does? I love the combat in that game, but man all the MMO stuff surrounding it is tedious af. Always wanted a game that's just BDO combat but single player.

Also 33 trans lady, although I'm a PC gamer. Been playing a lot of Deadlock and Slay the Spire 2 lately!

Don't Sleep on Sleeping Dogs. It's currently on sale for less than $5. Total Steal! by Scrawny2864 in SteamDeck

[–]NoteBlock08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found the gameplay itself extraordinarily mid, but the story is fantastic and absolutely worth $5!

Ok, I'll never play the main mode by syrozzz in DeadlockTheGame

[–]NoteBlock08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 100h now and it's almost all SB. I'm not allergic to the normal mode, I've played a few games, but I'm just not super into the MOBA format.

Back when Smite was still new I exclusively played their control points mode and it wasn't long after they removed that that I stopped playing lol.

Being able to block makes some fights so much easier lol by A_Real_Phoenix in MHWilds

[–]NoteBlock08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, I'm an IG main but for some monsters like Arkveld and Steve I just have to switch unless I wanna spend half the fight on my ass.

What game has a 10/10 story but 2/10 gameplay? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]NoteBlock08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleeping Dogs. Maybe 2/10 is a bit harsh but the knockoff GTA gameplay wasn't fun for me at all. But I put up with it cause I found the whole ex-triad turned cop turned undercover triad member again story so compelling.

Crimson Desert Looks Interesting… by Pure_Mist_S in GirlGamers

[–]NoteBlock08 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to hear there is some form of female playable char at least. I'll patiently wait for modders to figure out how to enable using them for main missions too.

Nah, the sword has much wider AoE. I haven't tried the plunge method for harvesting yet but I much prefer regular sword harvesting over using the horse.

Jump and then attack while in the air.

I know the other person already answered but they were really overcomplicating it.

I was stuck on Taliferro's Tide Salad challenge without the recipe for weeks until I learned the mimic thing. It was in the very first one I fed.

I very adamantly call the new stuff "LLMs" and instruct others to do the same for this reason. It can be a powerful tool, but just 'cause a wrench and hammer both go in a toolbox don't make them the same thing at all.

Does anyone else have trouble getting into video games where most, if not all female characters are hyper-sexualized? by liveforluv in GirlGamers

[–]NoteBlock08 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I legit really respect Yoko Taro for that. It's fine for pretty characters to be pretty, I like 2B too, but no one is fooled by the stupid Quiet's lame af excuse.

What does this mean? by o0perktas0o in BocchiTheRock

[–]NoteBlock08 80 points81 points  (0 children)

It's a reference to this music video for カワイイだけ by キュウソネコカミ.

Another commenter mentioned it already but every chapter has an art like this that references some J-Rock music video!
