Black Desert CBT gameplay videos

Ok i give up. I guess i'm still gonna read more news for darkfall and mortal online. There's really nothing better than these 2 games and i wish there was.

The only thing i hate so far about black desert is for the same reason i hate the combat system of Tera online. When ever they're striking, it's like their feet are stuck on the ground. As a player, it's not fun and it feels too clunky. It makes me ask this. How can you dodge and attack at the same time? You can't so at the end, the pvp will most likely be more like a button masher.

I want no part in this.

Interesting, Black Gold has been on my watch list yet I've not been following it with any degree of dedication. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, alyosha, it's much appreciated.

I must say, it's looking rather pleasing for a CBT; true, the engine could use some optimization (model and texture pop-in are apparent throughout), certain animations are a trifle awkward and most of the quests seemed rather mundane, but I'm prepared to grant it some leeway in hopes of finding something worthwhile.

What's more, I genuinely enjoyed the ambient music. No rock, pop or synth tracks playing when combat is initiated (I do hope that remains a feature through release), nor mind-numbingly bombastic orchestral themes to convey just how "grand" and "epic" the setting is... merely pleasant strings and an occasional trilling of pipes with some percussive accompaniment where appropriate. Real adventuring music, as it were, the sort of thing I can relax with whilst I play.

It's very pretty. But the combat is sooo dull

Well you can still autoattack and do basic attack while moving in Black Desert. So there's that. Anyway, I think being able to do every attack while also dodging is kind of stupid.

The character creation was very limited, I know its a beta but it was annoying to see 100s of clones running around.

Combat took some getting used to, depending on what you do with WASD keys while pressing skills you get different attacks, which vary per class.

Not too bad just felt clunky just like rest of the game.

Language barrier was a major thing for me again just like in ArcheAgd on Korean servers, but Black Desert has a long way to go IMO.

Decent for first beta just needs a lot more work.

I played on 670GTX (ssd, 16GB ram, i7) and it was choppy on max settings for me.

Character creation is usually quite limited in early tests. Usually not as limited as Black Desert was, though. However, Archeage was basically beset by the same limitations in early beta tests too.

If you look at the range of variation in armour and faces in NPCs, it suggests that there will be a lot of variation for characters too. Since you cannot select your gender, class, and race in this game & are locked by the class you pick, there will obviously always be that limitation on variety. However, I think once they add more classes and more character creation tools, it will not be as overtly limited as it is in beta right now.

Same sh!t with a new name and a new skin.

The game looks good but what in gods name is up with the camera thrashing around, jerking in and out with every event. Even fishing causes the game camera to fly around. And when you shoot your bow or attack the camera jerks in then the screen blurs then jerks back out. Like that wont make your eyes bleed after 5mins.

From every video I have seen this game is unplayable with all the camera shaking and blurring that is going on with every action you perform.

Adjust. If not, you will end up playing the same game you've played for years.

I forget if this game had the crazy pricing model or not but these videos were interesting. I actually like the rooting in combat as it's a good mix between action and hotbar control.

Seeing how this is CBT Ill probably won't see this game state side for a few years.

I thought it was gonna be more like a streetfighter 4 in 3d. After an high punch, it won't take you long to step away right after. If you trow a fireball and your enemy dodge it, he can reach you quickly and counter attack at the same time plus more situational attacks like anti-air. Only things that should be slow are supers; missing these should leave you open for anything.

Instead, i look at the berserker and everything seem slow and dull, cluncky and that's why i think it's gonna be more like a button masher. You can't do most thing at the same time.

Whenever a new MMORPG emerges, it's the same #@%&; on these boards...

"combat is boring, why it isn't tab targeting", "combat is boring, why is it tab targeting", "why are they trying something new", "why aren't they trying something new"... Damn.

Something that looks this good, exciting and new doesn't come every day, people.

...just tired of seeing posts like "that's not a game for me". WHO CARES if it isn't for you? Move on, nothing to see for you here.

Lol, people who say "same old shit" have no basis to say that about Black Desert.

Sorry I didn't realise all games had open world gameplay with no loading screens, active combat, siege warfare, non-instanced housing, parkour, GRASS. Get real, people! Hardly any games that have come out in the previous generation have such features. And no game on the horizon has some of these either.

The only recent games created in a similar vein are Darkfall and Mortal Online. And they might as well not even exist for how crappy they are.

When I saw the video where they went into the open world cave and died at the boss I was sold.

azzamasin · October 2013

Way to much camera shaking and graphic distortion in the combat video's. I'm afraid it would drive me to a seizure.

Wizzy, no one here asked for a tab targeting game so i won't bother with you.

Aloyasha, both DF and MO looks better than dark desert combat wise. It's a mmo and for an mmo, being shiny is not enough. The longterm aspect matters more and right now, yes, the combat in BD does not look that good and not better than the 2 games i mentioned. Your foot don't get stuck when you attack in these 2 games.

Also, check out MO again on youtube. The game got a lot better than before. The combat system in DF is unbeatable. The problem in both of these games is mostly the graphics, but like i said, it's a mmo. If it's not a problem for wow, than it's not a problem at all.

Mardukk · October 2013

Liking the feature list. There is no way they going to release the game with the super weird camera movement and blur on everything. Hopefully they will rethink the self rooting. Not sure if the game is full loot or partial inventory loot. Should be interesting to follow the developement of this game.

The landscape in that vid you posted was nice. I liked the ups and downs, being able to go up the mountain and all around on the terrain and it not being perfectly flat everywhere like most games, except the occasional mountain you can walk up to but is just a barrier.

I've been waiting for Black Desert to come out and I'm willing to wait as long as it takes. The movement looks a bit clunky but I'm sure it will be cleaned up a bit before it is released, it's just beta in those vids anyways.

What makes this mmo stand out amongst the rest ?

flashing, camera shaking, more camera effects...

no. unless you can turn all that off, then 'yes...maybe'.

For me its a yes and that's all I care about. I like everything I have seen from the game and cant wait to see more.

alyosha17 · October 2013

I like the weird quests in this game with minigames. Hopefully there are more.

Oh that is pretty awesome. More minigames like this would be nice. Step finally added his 4th and final (for now) beta preview since I think there was only 1 day left.

Sandbox gameplay, absence of instanced zones, no teleports, inventory drop by character`s death, full scale sieges w/o limitations a-la Lineage2, clanwars, PK, depletable stamina for mounts, local auction for each area, non target complicated combat system, stylish medeival design, great characters` animation and many features for being a worthy successor of Lineage 2.

Adjust to bad game design, or simply expect the developers to enable an option to disable Arcade game effects? Customization options are a lost art in game design.

DamonVile · November 2013

Who's going to publish it here ?

I'd put money on this game being too " asian " for most people and it's the graphics and "sandbox" that's got people interested.
