Black Desert won’t be to everybody’s tastes, and does little to push the MMO genre forward. With that said, it does streamline the experience into a more familiar shell, its real-time combat and impeccable UI tweaks helping it fit onto a console with the minimal of fuss. Its quest structure is lacking in variation, and it doesn’t have the complex characters of The Witcher 3, but it’s a world that is great to explore with friends, with the promise of more to come.
Black Desert manages to surprise us with great features like its deep character editor and a very dynamic and varied combat system, with a rich world that's a pleasure to explore. On the other side, though, an overly complicated interface, some technical problems and a too repetitive mission structure keep it from reaching its full potential.
Like other reviewers have previously stated this is a MMORPG and will not be for everyone. With that being said if you are into the MMORPG genre then this is by far the best MMORPG you will be able to find on the Xbox One. This game is massive and there are countless things to do in this game. Personally I have vested 192 hours into this game and I am still learning new things and have so much more to learn. The game is ever expanding with new content and playable characters I feel I will never get tired of it. You have to check this one out and with a price tag of $10 who wouldn't? Amazing game Pearl Abyss!
It’s cool to be the hero you were meant to become in a pretty world, but Black Desert is lacking in the meat of other classic MMOs and requires a hefty grind.
Black Desert could be an incredible MMO experience, but the lacklustre story, uninspiring quests, overly bland characters and the low difficulty of combat drag it down quite a bit. Should these drawbacks not deter you, then visiting its expansive and colourful world might be worth it.
Black Desert is a great MMORPG, but it needs more technical polish on Xbox One. Even on Xbox One X, it's far from perfect due to its lighting and performance problems. Unfortunately, it also lacks a lot of the content found on the PC version. Pearl Abyss has promised a series of updates which will bring over new regions and features, but it's unclear how long that will take.
It is easily the best of its kind to be found on the Xbox One and thanks to the tweaking and simplification of the combat for the system, it's a game that feels right at home on consoles.
До этого играл на PC почти 3 года. Последний год на консоли. Считаю, что это лучшая мморпг впринцыпе. Ставлю ей 6 баллов потому, что консольная версия = версии для ПК. Они должны были оптимизировать, и немного оказуалить игру для консолей,но игра фактически предоставляет те же возможности, что на ПК. Но на ПК мы имеем клавиатуры и мышки с десятками клавиш, и то их частенько не хватало. Тут же геймпад с которого мягко говоря играть так же как на компьютере сложно. Они как смогли уменьшили эти проблемы, но вышло не очень. По итогам даже опытным игрокам играть сложно. Приходится или забивать на многое или очень стараться. Я не говорю о боевке, а о взаимодействии с интерфейсом, крафтом, добычей ресурсов, баффом и тд. Так же хромает оптимизация на One X. Включать режим высокой графики нет смысла, т.к. фпс падает в бою до 10-15. В обычном режиме во время фарма постоянно проседает фпс и даже зависает картинка. Я надеялся на лучшую оптимизацию.
А теперь плюсы, во первых бой с геймпада, руки не устают, не болит мизинец как на компьютере, играть крайне приятно. Игра за большинство классов настоятельно требует покупку Elite Controller. Поэтому за боевку однозначный плюс, фактически за боевку я готов игре поставить 11 из 10 баллов. Плюсом к этому идет закрытость системы, обеспечивающую победу над читерами. И одинаковое железо с отсуствием настроек, ведет к равности всех против всех в отличии от ПК.
Всем советую играть, уверен многие проблемы к выходу новых консолей уйдут на второй план, фактически сейчас идет бета тест.
The game as a whole is a good time, allowing you to enjoy an mmo if you can't afford a good pc. Just be weary of issues that will definitely occur while playing the game.
Pros:
-Combat is definitive, easy to learn, and unique as far as I'm concerned for an MMO
-Graphics are stunning for an MMO on console, but is quite frankly a negative
-GM's seem to be active and happy to help you when asked
-Character design is very in-depth, allowing you precisely create your character
-There is no open PVP until level 50
-There's also life skills for those who aren't into the combat grind after level 50.
-You can turn off chat (thank god).
Cons:
-FPS sits around a constant 25-30 fps in the wilderness, although in populated towns it lowers to about constant 15 fps. This low of an FPS has caused me to get up and walk around for a bit, or play another game entirely to ease the headaches I get from the stuttering.
-The a majority of the vocal chat community is filled with trolls and crybaby's who die to better players.
-Story and lore wise, it's just the same as every other mmo story.
-Very grindy at level 50 and beyond.
Overall, I was shocked by how good I believed this game was when I played the beta. Although now I'm starting to slow down and just feel bored after playing for maybe an hour or less. The devs were ambitious to release BDO for console (also a shady business practice, since the cheapest pre-order was $30 for one day early access and a free pet, along with basic cosmetic and no warning of a $10 release price), the high demanding graphics are an issue for running the game smoothly on an Xbox and can overall ruin a good experience.
It's weak, it's outdated and it's paid2win. I was kinda enjoying the game on the Game pass but after some hours of gameplay it makes me wanna puke. I'll start with Quest Glitches I have like 4 Glitched quests that I can't complete in anyway, already sent a ticket to the Admins with no answer!!! Absurd!! I'm glad I didn't waste a single cent on that game. Everything is paid2win, wanna buy a cool set from the shop ? 60$ Dollars, Quests are repetitive and boring...like go there and Kill some enemies, go there talk to someone...This game is a collosal failure!!!
SummaryBlack Desert is a living-world MMORPG. Experience fast-paced, action-packed combat, hunt monsters and huge bosses, fight with friends in a guild to siege nodes and region castles, train your life skills such as fishing, trading, crafting, cooking, and much more.
