God drat this looks better than modded skyrim with more vegetation and better textures.

They're using a lot of 2D lods for trees in the distance, it might run on more systems than you would think.

Eh, I'm certain it will run well on a lot of computers because asian mmos in general tend to scale a whole lot better than western ones but as presented right there, the amount ground clutter and shadows alone would absolutely destroy most mid range computers.

Actually, I just went to their site and they have a new story as of yesterday:

Pearl Abyss posted:

Good news for all Western Black Desert Fans. Daum, the Korean Publisher of Black Desert will expand to the Western Market and open a new Office in the West. Pearl Abyss also announced the Date for the 3rd Closed Beta, which is scheduled for late August/early September. More information are coming soon.
We have the official confirmation that it’s true.

Interestingly enough they've talked about developing an English version, well, *now*. So this might actually be a solid Korean mmo we aren't waiting two to three years to see for the first time. That should be a laugh.

Just checked the subreddit and apparently it got a publisher. Not familiar with them or their business practices but I'm weary. I really doubt they'd poo poo on this game in the Western market though given how interested we are.

True. This section should be called The forum of broken dreams. Yet again I will pay a stupid amount of money to get into the early access of a game, always in the hope that this time it will be the "one".

Apologies, seems I was on the wrong page. Seriously though, I think this will be the first or second major sandbox game to come out early next year.

ArcheAge is really good though? First Korean MMO where I didn't quit after a few hours and actually played the whole early access period. Black Desert can be even better.

The developer is working on an English version themselves, and Daum is a pretty big company. Daum could "set up an office" in about nine seconds if it wanted to.

e: I don't know if you know what Naver is in Korea, if you don't I'll just say think of them as Korean Google and you'll be in the right ballpark, but Daum is about to close a merger that would make them a serious rival to Naver in Korea. They are a big company.

I don't think it's really racism as much as it is that games produced by foreign countries with VERY different notions of entertainment are more likely to be considered lovely outside of said country. Plus, every modern game (especially MMO's) promise the moon, the stars, and for pluto to be a planet again. I can't say for sure how Black Desert will turn out, but hype trains usually end up with a large portion of the passengers upset that it wasn't quite the roller coaster that the marketing department told them it was.

Like Boogaleeboo said, they've been working on an English translation in house, so hopefully we won't have to wait too long. It might end up being a hilariously bad translation though...

"Country makes bad games" is a loving asinine, utterly useless statement. I'm American and plenty of American companies make bad games that I hate, while plenty of non-American companies have made games I enjoy. It's almost like the physical locality that a company resides in is a bad way to measure the value in a game.

I agree with the whole overgeneralization and the innaccuracy of the "THESE GAMES ARE OBJECTIVELY BAD" outlook people seem to spout out, but I can see why people jump to that with the whole korean mmo thing. Eastern MMOs made for eastern audiences are famously grindy and RNG based (Lineage 2). Western MMOs made for western audiences have become increasingly themeparky with lower effort required (WoW and the infinite WoWClones). When you toss those games to a market they were not designed for, you're more likely going to get some polarizing results that aren't in your favor than to just design a game for that market in the first place. Localization teams often have to rework a lot of numbers to make it more acceptable to other audiences (Aion/Vindictus/Archeage off the top of my head).

For measuring value, yes. However, if you really think developing for a completely different market doesn't affect the end product, especially after decades of being shown again and again that asian developers make games with rng and grind because that's how their market likes their games then I don't know what to tell you. It'd be like saying "american movies have lot of explosions" or "british humor is dry". Asian games are grindy. It's just what they are, and it's obvious that at least some people in the west like it too.

I'm gonna either wait and see what the monetization model is, but I like the asthetic. I don't know if I'm sold on action combat because I've been burned on that more than once.

If there is one thing that I have noticed about MMOs which originated in the East and launched in the West it is that over the past 10 years they have been improving upon how well they redesign their games to be more appealing to Western audiences. Many of them are a lot less grindy than they used to be and much of what grind is left is often more fun than it used to be too thanks to improved game mechanics and dozens of other reasons.

For some people, it will never be enough because they really enjoy Western style MMOs a lot but for those players who are happy with something between Western and Eastern design we are getting more games from the East which are good times and usually F2P so you don't have to drop cash to find out whether or not you like it.
