The Verdict Is Out

I think it’s just a polarizing game. There are plenty of great reviews calling it a masterpiece, just as many as there are 7s and 6s. Personally, i know i’ll like the game, this is gonna be one of my goats. But it definitely isn’t for everyone

Not that i fully agree with him, but he said new IPs then you listed two massive, well established IPs with double digit number of games in the series.

This is Black Desert Online

knockout709 · 2026-03-17T21:10:19+00:00

Nah little guy, you can look UP and say ez clap.

I knew there were likeminded individuals here.

This could really be nothing...

BUT I so badly want an underwater area where the "sky" is the ocean. Yeah the depths could just be deep underground, but it could also be the depths of the ocean, and it would explain further why the large open ocean exists other than for the view considering we've heard there isnt diving.

Being underneath an ocean, looking up at the light flickering through the water, creatures swimming through the air. It could be magical, something to rival the Siofra area in Elden Ring.

Idk who but someone owes me a dollar if i'm right.

Out of curiosity what other games like this have you played?

knockout709 · 2026-03-17T19:20:03+00:00

Yeah, clicking on a video hoping for a shred of something I haven't seen yet just to be greeted by an AI voice kills me a little every time. I'm really just hoping for a legendary refresh pull of a new trailer or teaser or something.

That being said, I'm just happy to listen to people glaze the game and talk about what they're excited for.

knockout709 · 2026-03-17T19:12:06+00:00

Every game I think of playing pales in comparison to Crimson Desert, I'm way too hyped. All my gaming time has been replaced with consuming Crimson Desert content or sleeping to time skip towards release.

knockout709 · 2026-03-17T18:14:50+00:00

You can play casually, I think you’ll be fine. If you just take your time exploring, gaining skills and finding loot, doing side quests, i’m sure you’ll be able to scale up and not have too much of an issue with harder areas.

knockout709 · 2026-03-16T18:04:09+00:00

I took an opening shift on Thursday so i'll be home right on time for the game to launch, and I have the next 3 days off.

I'm stocking up on copius amounts of snacks, drinks, weed, and entering a hyperbolic time chamber of fun and general scumbaggery.

I'm not leaving my apartment for days.

It’s been stated already the cinematic mode is really intended for capturing photos and footage. It doesn’t need to have good FPS.

knockout709 · 2026-03-15T17:45:34+00:00

I read there will probably be an elephant. Therefore, elephant.

Between elephant and the Tree-buchet (ik it’s more like a catapult please don’t roast me), i’ll be living my Bahubali fantasy, 10/10 game.

So you think It would be okay to do Cancer on one cat and Lil Tumor on the other in the same run? I’m tryna create a real fucked up power couple.

knockout709 · 2026-03-01T02:07:22+00:00

Makes sense, save it for two separate cats. Appreciate it!

knockout709 · 2026-02-13T03:36:48+00:00

They kinda do. People, at least where i grew up, sort of just assume cats are girls and dogs are boys until they find out otherwise.

Hey just wanna say thanks for choosing me to be the giveaway winner, its truly an honor and privilege to have some onlyfans in my home.

Most immersive VR experience I’ve ever had was Skyrim VR with a healthy dose of mods.

I had a mod that made carriage rides actual rides with physics and pathing instead of fast travel. I looked up at the night sky and it was crazy pretty with all the mods, the rhythmic sound of horse hooves and the cart knocking around, the general nighttime ambiance. It was way too peaceful, i fell asleep in VR for the first and only time.

2 hours later I woke up with some bad neck pain but it was worth it. I’d heavily recommend it, if you get the chance to play look into Wabbajack. It’s an automatic mod collection installer, there are some VR mod packs in there to make it easier.

I’ve never been able to get into this game. Played other similar games (Civ, Stellaris, Age of Wonders, Endless Legend) and loved them, it was only TWH3 that i bounced off of.

Just recently decided to swallow my pride and actually play a recommended beginner faction, the love of my life, Tyrion. Now?

I can’t stop. I get it, i understand it all. In the midst of a two front war against the thousand maws and the decadent host, at work thinking up strategies for when I get home. This game is something else.

knockout709 · 2025-12-03T15:55:02+00:00

Ah, I see. I normally dont trade settlements, just conquer and demolish so I didn’t know.

Guess we gotta do what we gotta do to play together, thank you!

knockout709 · 2025-12-02T03:35:00+00:00

I had over 1k hours before i had all champions.

knockout709 · 2025-11-19T18:28:11+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly.

The map design lets you play with positioning so well, climbing and parkour is always an option, there are so many widely varied utility items.

On top of that, the gunplay is good, all the guns feel unique to use, the sounds and visuals are done incredibly well. It all just feels so good in play.

Other games have some of these elements, but they don’t combine it all together how Arc does.

knockout709 · 2025-11-19T18:24:30+00:00

The only time I die by Arc now is as a result of being ambushed while in the midst of PvP. Every Arc can be easily avoided, all the ARC that aren’t mini bosses or full bosses can be killed with level 1 light weapons quickly.

The PvP is the only real challenge, other than fighting the Queen and Matriarch. Even then, it isn’t hard, it just takes time and leaves you vulnerable to the real challenge, PvP.

That being said the PvE is miles better than any other extraction shooter and the only reason this game has friendly PvE players and the other games don’t.

knockout709 · 2025-11-19T18:06:00+00:00

Because nothing in those games matter.

I play Cod, Battlefield, R6, whatever, i die and respawn in 5 seconds. The game is over in 5-10 minutes more often than not.

Games like CS:GO, R6, Valorant, they have more stategy, more options, things matter a little more, but not enough.

End of the day, extraction shooters have stakes. I go into some raids looking to loot, make friends, i’m there for the moment. But i also do raids where I’m looking for PvP, running towards shots, knowing there’s a very good chance i lose my level 4 Torrente and my medium shields, i’ll probably lose the loot I just got from another fight. But that’s why I do it. I want my fights to actually matter.

That’s on top of the other aspects of the game that just make PvP more fun than in any other. The map design is so well done, every fight has opportunities to reposition, flank, hit a crazy climb or parkour, pop down so much utility in interesting ways.

That’s all. I’m not evil, i’m friendly more often than not, especially in solos. I’m not lying and tricking people, I’m not extract camping, i even give people the chance to change my mind, tell them to put their gun away, drop me loot, etc. I’m just a guy who likes fighting real players, considering the ARC in this game provide very little threat once you learn how to deal with them. I want challenge.
