Couldn't hold my attention very long compared to it's competitors, particularly something like FFXIV.
Gender locked classes are dumb, customization sucks, games is pay to win not worth your 99 cents straight up.
Fetch quest fans go feral for ts
Ce jeu n'a qu'un mot pour le définir : Speedrun. Vous êtes un GOAT au milieu d'un univers immense ou rien ne semble vous arrêter et ou tout est sans saveurs ; une foule d'informations ou l'IU est complétement broken, avec des évènements, des guildes combo de coups, de machin chouette-chose, de quêtes, d'objets, qui ne servent à RIEN puisqu'on OS tout l'univers existant et les PV de votre perso sont cheatés a mort. Un scénario dont on a pas envie de voir les tenants et aboutissants par flemme puisqu'aucunes informations dudit scénario ne vous permettra de vaincre un monstre qu'on bute en jouant avec la manette dans le cul. J'ai essayé d'autres serveurs pour avoir de la difficulté, ça ne change rien et c'est tout aussi Broken ! Ce jeu n'a AUCUNE EVOLUTION ! AUCUN CHALLENGE ! Tout vous est ouvert directement. VOUS êtes Bruce tout-puissant Pourquoi faire un truc si complet et complexe si rien ne donne envie de le creuser et ne retient les joueurs? On dit sur le forum JV que la difficulté commence au niveau 50, peut être qu'il faut que j'y joue plus, je suis à 15h mais je m'ennuie comme une merde. Je voulais un univers complet, des quêtes gratifiantes, des loots intéressants, du farm qui te challenge, des scénarios au dilemme cornélien ... Puis désolé hein mais avoir autant d'option de personnalisation pour avoir une tête complètement rikiki par rapport au reste du corps, c'est un peu con.
Now I know where my 4 hours of gameplay came from.... I got this game couple years back with 2 hours of gameplay but I don't remember playing this at all. Now, I'm trying to play it again but Im stuck on a black screen with pegi16 logo. I just now spent another 2 hours looking up how to fix it but nothing works. I came to realize... I probably spent the first 2 hours doing this same exact thing to get the game to work but couldn't. So now I'm leaving this review to remind the future me if I decide to try and play this game again that it doesn't work and to not waste another 2 hours trying to fix.

Terrible starting experience and options. Can't change the music volume when I needed to choose a voice for my character. Couldn't try characters in "trial" mode. Couldn't choose to play with a controller before I finished the tutorial with a keyboard and had entered the game. Now I've got a bigger problem. Game is locked on 30fps, and I have tried literally everything. Every single option in settings, every reasonable option in nvidia settings, I even edited to gameoption.ini file, but still the game is locked on 30fps. And no - my computer is not too weak - my gpu and cpu usage are very low, and when I turn down the graphics settings, my usage goes down even more, but the fps stays always near 30. I have literally wasted two and a half hours and haven't even got to play the game yet - I have only finished the tutorial. After a lot of research and trial-and-error I found out that Black Desert is just too old of a game and too poorly optimized, that my 16 thread Ryzen is just not good enough for this POS game. I was able to get 45FPS when I took away affinity from the first core and set affinity to the rest physical cores (not the hyperthreaded ones) and that 45fps was the best result I could get from my computer. So for me the game is literally unplayable. If you have a processor with a smaller number of strong individual cores, you may get a playable FPS. My sepcs: Ryzen 7 2700x 32Gb Ddr4 RTX 2080
A Huge MMORPG with Endless Content I really enjoy playing Black Desert Online. It is a fantastic MMORPG with an incredible amount of content. There is always something new to learn or explore, which keeps the game interesting even after many hours of gameplay. At the beginning, I had to spam the "R" key quite a lot to get through dialogues and quests, but that did not bother me too much. One thing I noticed is that it takes a while to understand the most important systems in the game. Even now, I still do not understand everything, and I feel like I have a lot left to learn. What I like most is that the game does not constantly tell you how you should play. Instead, it gives you the freedom to choose your own path and discover things at your own pace. Whether you enjoy combat, life skills, exploration, or other activities, there is plenty to do. If you like MMORPGs, I would definitely recommend Black Desert Online. It has a steep learning curve, but the amount of content and freedom it offers makes it a very rewarding experience.
я это говно запускал только 30 минут. хрен чего разберешь. геймпад не поддерживает, все как то криво. как будто я какую то пиратку скачал и начал шаманить что бы запустить ее и поиграть. короче она меня взбесила на начальном этапе!!! спасибо!!! наигрался!!! Удаляю!!!
La lumière, les menus et la police d'écriture rendent le jeu indigeste et je le pense vraiment.
