Lets start with the preformance or "Install on a SSD Drive not a HDD!!" problems within the game for starters the game doesn't outright tell you that the game runs better on a SSD instead of a HDD (Unless you scroll down at the store page and look what you need lol). What would solve this current quotes "render issue" is when you install it on an SSD drive instead of HDD. I tested this for about a full 6 hours becouse well i like to ♥♥♥♥ around with ICT stuff so i got at it. This game needs to render so mutch details so mutch moddels so mutch particals a HDD drive can not keep up becouse of its running speed. The moment and i mean THE MOMENT i placed the game on a SSD 99% of all grapic issues evaperated if not 100%.

The story is "from" and what I mean is when you actually walk out of the first compound. where
you where held in all those years and by years I mean about 3 or more times kips within less than 5 minutes. if you start up the game the game will tell you introduce you. you got to have some form of connechtion like, having characters your Direct family your sister which I will not talk about due to spoilers and a few of your friends / relatives. I do not really know I do not really care, the most things that bother me the most already time skips. because of this time skips you are not enabled to actually form a connection with the characters you just met a man Mercer the teacher which I've forgot the name of. this is what I mean I forget names it's not interesting it's not fun time skips are not fun they break the story and immersion of a intresting start. A game with a story or eny story telling for that mather hase to hook you in reel you in to stick Time skips are extreemly bad for this.

I made the conscious choice to continue playing Avatars frontiers of Pandora. Why I made these choices is very simple I am not going to wait for ubisoft to fix a Bug at the end of the game in a few months. I just want to finish the game Here is my full review what I found and what I like and don't like about the game.


Let's start with Hunting and Gathering.

This is a hugely annoying thing in the game you have to pick plants pick trees pick bark from trees. and I don't know what other junk you have to pick up so you can craft things. the way this is done is just very very frustrating. Certain things you have to approach at a certain angle or a certain Degree. both you have to pick it or certain conditions such as rain, in shelter, day, night, dry or wet. What is still annoying is that sometimes you can find very few of those specific plants specific things. Because sometimes you have to find the highest value of that plant or material. They are usually in very difficult to reach places. such as caves that are not always visible from the air while you mainly use your ikran to go from A to B instead of taking the 25 minutes to walk there.
At the end of the line you'll have a few things you can use to craft a bow or a weapon, but whether they're as powerful as things you can find inside conpounds and places of itrest or even quests is most often the question you got to ask yourself. "Do i waist time to look for bark on a tree or do i go blow ♥♥♥♥ up and maybe find a bether weapon or gear?"

Stealth and forced to sneak around.

The other problem I have is that you have to do a lot of things silently. If you don't you lose several items. which you can find in various outside posts and compounds if you do that successfully you are rewarded with some stuff that you can use later. It's just annoying that you have to do this all the time instead of being able to go Guns blazing at some point. you are kind of forced to crawl around silently like some ant in the grass.
But if you are spotted by The guards then you can take them all out very quickly one by one and nothing really happens, so if you are very quick to take them out you will still be rewarded because then you have just done it.. quietly.

And now the positive aspects of the game.

The world is extremely big There are many places you can discover. NPCs feel like they are really alive some have really interesting things to tell or NPCs react to what is happening around them. Examples of the weather, wind and rain. as well as what you do in the neighborhood if you can make a lot of donations in the baskets and the "Community baskets" then they react positively to that. I think that is very nice that they have put that in the game anyway that you have a kind of lively feeling in the game.
Some Side Quests are also interesting to do, many are more like fetch this, find that, bring back or find something for me, but some NPCs also ask for help with tasks and things they can't figure out themselves, and I find those kinds of little things nicer and more fun to do than a fetch Quest where we have to bake bread for someone or something stupid like that.
There is an NPC near the home tree and the NPC asks you to prepare food with him.
Collecting these materials as I described above is honestly just a grandly stupid and annoying thing to do. But that doesn't take away The dialogue and the information you get from this NPC. At the beginning of the game you are told that you are special and that your clan was eliminated a very long time ago. Everyone is lost and a lot of Clans are wondering are you really one of the lost tribe. And when you eat the food with this man he tells you that you have the eyes of your mother. That is a very specific detail that I never really got a direct answer to. How does this man know that? Is this man my family? Or was he a very close friend of my mother? Storyline wise these kind of side quests give me hope that there is more to this game than just a pointless grind for items. And a Farcry setting. Besides that the main story line is not boring to play through. It has a lot of interesting npc's characters that you really build a kind of bond with. at some point you leave a few behind or have to say goodbye to a few I will not spoil how. There are countless other things I like about this game The controls, The combat, the lighting of certain environments. The dreamy atmosphere and the alien world and that little prick in your brain of the "unknown" is often tickled.

Side note.

You don't necessarily have to pick things up collect stuff and do all that other nonsense. You can just do the main storyline and then you're done with the game. But to be honest this game you kind of have to live. You have to take the time to comb through everything a bit. and every now and then just stand still on a cliff and look around you. and enjoy the sounds and the enormous forest in front of you that has oh so many colors.

And that is about it i would reccomand this game reguardless of its mixed reviews. Yet i understand why but i choose to look past the flaws. It is not worth full price but it is worth your time and love. If you liked the movies and do not mind to sometimes take things back a step and enjoy visuals buy this game. It is not a 100% banger but it is not a flop.

Overall rate?

8.1

Elden Ring is a soul game for people who like a challenge, but don't like the brutal soul games like DarkSouls2. Elden Ring is funny breathtaking, aimlessly walking around you will find things to do, whether that's a cave or a catecomb or a random boss at night.In short you can do a lot. Lots of new carachters and returning faces like our boy, our beloved cliff kicking boy the lad we know by "Patches"

The dlc in my opinion is amazing adds to the main story i won't spoil much but god is it good. For the memers under us "This bjitch went to the DLC" go's hard on this game. Some items from the dlc are insane for the base game. you can do some stuff you can not obtain like turning into a dragonform. In this game it looks good but also.. meh kinda goofy but thy always looked goofy in my opinion. What ending do i like? sorry chum i wont spoil a single bit! Please buy Elden ring if you like to explore a big open world and if you playd other souls games before elden ring keep in mind elden ring is a lot more forgiving. Conpaird to past souls titles.

Let's start with the positive side of this game. It's still a farcry game, the weapons and missions you get are still straight to the point. take over places, win back the local population's land and unlock or acquire target locations. I think the nice thing is the interaction of key npcs. If you have captured or destroyed all the targets, you will get a unique response to your interaction with the NPC itself, I appreciate that kind of neat stuff. The world is a big place with lots of "junk" to find, I'll come back to that later. Sometimes I sat quietly on a boat and mountain or in the grass, the "Amigos" are great, it sometimes feels so lonely and having a buddy by your side is always nice. The atmosphere in the game, just like Farcry5, is quite oppressive, what I mean by this is the world itself does not have much life, besides the roads and the towns in the woods you sometimes find wild animals, but it is mainly empty. The weapons and upgrade are easy to do if you take the time to collect materials for a supressor or scope. The weapons themselves are fine, you get the hang of them quickly and the skins are fine, not great, just fine.

The negative side is mainly the story. You see a lot of people writing about it. Indeed the main story line is very dry... take down the soldiers and kill the dictator. There are key drivers who give nice and good interactions, a good example is El-Tiger. A almost fatherly behavior and jokes in serious scenarios and the will to bring everyone together is good. He wants nothing more than for the old generation to work together with the young generation. Phillie is also a good carachter with his jokes and crazy ideas. He reminded me a bit of Vaas but.. less CRAZY.

Then collect materials for weapons and parts for a camp. However, it is more of a nuisance than I would like. I've been spending more time collecting material SupremoBonds and junk for upgrades. Of the 118 hours, at least 30 are spent collecting. 30 conquer locations. 40 are on missions and the 8 are sitting somewhere in the grass. consider life choices.

Which I think is a shame **Spoilers!!** Diego saves Dani from dying and Dani saves Diego. Diego has completely different thoughts and wants to help Yara in different ways, you hear and see that clearly. But he is still Castio's son. In the evening when you confront Castio you promise him to keep Diego safe. Diego hugs his father for the last time and then Castio shoots his own son. Why? I understand the logic, but still. If you look at the map you will see portraits of all the carachters standing against and with you. Diego is "neutral" And even the text under his name "Has Yara in his heart." I had hoped that Dany and Diego would save Yara together. Since Diego is Castio's son, I thought that he would build up the country with his boyish thoughts and work together with the people under Danny's protection. Farcry6 is a game itself that I enjoyed and where the story sucked massive cigars. There were certainly moments that really brought me back to the game. Don't buy the game for the story, but buy it on sale for the moments that matter.

Despite reading the reviews and buying it at 60% off, I say no. This is far from the watchdogs I am used to. It's not a bad game by far, but it's not good. The controls and navigation feel clunky, the recruitment system is so off-putting to me that I choose to ignore it. Graphically this game looks great, some minor visual bugs but nothing too serious. I haven't played it for a long time so I can't review the entire game and I won't be playing any more of this game. It certainly sounds unfair, but this game just isn't for me. If you like recruitment hacking and weird pit fights and lots of question marks hanging over your head about what the hell is going on, then buy this game.

Graphically this game is super smooth for an mmo. The contrast of light and dark colors used in the right environments and conditions creates a more direct picture of how and what is happening. I only have 80 hours in the game and am not having many issues with the game. The only problem is that I don't want to grind for upgraded materials for a few hours and then have to pray to RNG-Jesus for good rolls. Only to have one failure after another and who could just as easily have spent 4 hours in the toilet. I've been playing Warframe for 700 hours now, another game where you have to grind for things. The difference with warframe grind and Black Desert grind is that in warframe you know what your grind is for, how you get it and what the chance of the drops is. In Black Desert you know what the drop chances are of, for example, upgraded materials. But the idea that you can then lose that time and materials and then have to do it again doesn't appeal to me at all. Black Desert has a few other problems. The travel time in the beginning of the game as a new player is that you don't have a horse or fast transport. I played for about 20 hours without a horse until I got one. I can tell you that while I was walking from point A to B, I just started watching Netflix out of tiredness and boredom. I don't start a game to have to wait for a "second loading screen". Of course, you find all kinds of things along the way, but as a new player you want to visit those new quest markers and experience the overwhelming mass of the world and the content. But in due time. If you let me rise at a snail's pace and then give a horse what you only shed for a few minutes, but still have to use Alt+Tab to while away the time on a random video on YouTube is a no go for me. In short as a new player what do I think of Black Desert? It's not a great game for me, I have better things to do and if I want to grind I can find other games that can make better use of time than here. For the rest, good game, good quality.

EDDIT!

Simp for nerfs lik nefts suck the nerfs out of the groundwater and spit in players faces.
Most weapons i enjoyd using suck right now helldive is more like "Go F*ck yourself dive" becouse oh boy do you need to put bullets in enemys and oh boy are thy eating led like monday till sunday.
