Lol, no, I pre ordered it, played beta, thought it was alright, at least worth the money
nope, one week in and I realized it was not worth $30
I paid $24 for season 2 of Better Call Saul and I finished it in two evenings after work.
It was totally worth it
Great show.
Still the thing abut value is how subjective it is.
Yea, and using time as the value comparison for two different things isn't always a good idea either. One issue with comparing movies/shows to MMO value in terms of time is that movies don't have things like grinds.
Been playing since
day one and I am amazed with the amount of bad information about the game.
The
amount of rushed reviews with shallow considerations is overwhelming and never
seen in years of mmorpgs releases.
I am an
mmorpg gamer since 2000 with Everquest and the only logic explanation for this
sheer amount of lousy revews and disinformation is that BDO was made by a
South Korean company and God forbid that one company from that side of the map
could come up with an MMORPG better then the last 10 years releases.
If you
try BDO and give it a chance to show its mechanics you will be amazed with this
beautiful game
If not for the excessive amount of hacks that go unnoticed...or there P2W cash shop that gets even more P2W with every cash shop update....
I'd actually agree with this. The two above things are huge and actually game breaking for me though, if they aren't for you than this may be the game for you
Sorry the witch class just isn't witchy enough for me and that was the only thing that raised my interest in the game, so now playing the witch class in Skyforge and loving the class so not hurting sorry to tell you. lol
Its a game where farming (mobs or resources) is fun and the point, sort of like a lot of other non-fail sandboxes, and truth be told, a removed ARPG...since you farm for stuff for loot basically.
Sadly, given this games differences from typical spectical, stare at your hotbar cooldowns, themepark type games...which is what everyone doesn't want until they get it...people dislike the game as grindy.
Something ive noticed now for years. Everyone hates the themepark, until they get exactly what they asked for, then they hate that as a grind fest with forced pvp ect.
So this is that type of game that everyone wants on forums until they get it. Which is why I like it thus far. The act of farming stuff is fun and rewarding, and given my lust for ARPG games, and other guild politic based sandboxes, this is fun for me.
The biggest downfall is gender locked classes...in the spirit of TERA, just about all the classes are skimpy dressed female only....especially the interesting classes. At least the wizard (one of the few male classes) is pretty fun. When I get the urge for something unique, ill probably end up putzing around on a bikini armor girl then get bored as it sort of ruins the whole immersion factor of an RPG for me....which leads to an early leave of absence from a game typically.
Worth the $30 if you want what ArcheAge should have been, which to me was a themepark with some browser style farming for resources, which was boring as hell. This is more a sandbox, though there are still quests, but you don't get XP just reputation, so very optional but worth doing if your into it. AA you sort of had to quest hub hop to level up properly, and farming mobs was sort of worthless....not with BDO....youll want to farm mobs for resources and drops....and the combat is fun so it all works.
As someone said in another thread, negative, hating and raging posts catch attention easier then positive ones. That's the way human nature is, that is why I decided to use some tricks related with my profession.
By using that title I cought more people attention, obviously I don't literaly think that you are going to hurt yourself.
It worked
Just be critic when reading some game critics, this industry moves a lot of money and there are a lot of interests besides the genuine will of a gamer to play a good game.

I've been noticing a pain in my big toe, I was about to goto the doctor but after reading your post I have to ask. Could this pain in my toe be linked to me not having bought Black Desert yet?

That is exactly it. You need to go buy the game right now and all your problems will be solved.
I played the game from launch till like 2 weeks ago.
Stopped playing it then because:
- the hacking situation got really bad. A game without server sided security checks for stuff like attack speed or skill reuse time is a horrible idea. They don't even log data, so anybody disabling exploits as soon as a player comes in range (it's a built in function in some tools) is 100% safe. Plain horrible. - nearly everything in the game is single player content (mini games etc), team work is not allowed outside of killing other players and doing rather boring guild quests - player have no effect on anything, you can't even set the price for you sales.
The combat system was fun, the graphics were amazing, but otherwise....
I got bored on my 7days triall account after hiting level 20 - uninstalled.

When are people going to learn the difference between what is subjective and what is not? There are lists of "Check Boxes" players have when they play games. Everyone's checklist is different. It's great that BDO hits many of your checks, but my list is different.
I am still playing BDO and having a blast. I am not sure, but maybe because I am not stressing too much on being top ranked on whatever ( pvp, fishing, etc). The game has so many things to do that I never get bored, far from it. Only on the last couple days I found time to make an alt and have a feeeling of a diferent class.
Also I think some people are so vocal about BDO because of PvP, that part might frustate some that are one shotted over and over. Just an advice, be cool about it, sooner or later you will be ok on PvP, just don't give up and keep improving. You don't loose exp or items when killed on PvP, so move on.
This game is not easy, this game doesn't give you nothing on a plate, but when you actually improve, achieve or finally buy that ubber item, the feeling of rewardi is one of a kind on the MMO genre.

It was totally worth it
Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.
