Mixed feeling...

Leveling up & progression is downright bad in Divine Force. I mean it's not fun your fight last like what, 20 second at most. You can already level up your skills with the SP received on 6 character. So you to the menu click 6 times while wasting 40 second to click for upgrade. Yes, it's alien level of comprehension.

Combat system is not fun. You get 3 slots with with 3 skill follow up at your choice & a hold button for a skill.
You just choose skill input & just press the same button for combat. The problem, you can't use follow up at all unless you boost them with duma bar thing while fighting. Everytime you start your game it's clunky fighting until you get duma bar. In a nutshell, you mash & repeat for duma bar & don't know what you doing & you beat the mob.

The graphic, art design, menu design, story is good. But, the gameplay execution is downright awful. It's so bad that it deserve an award.

The game story is very good & you notice the effort put into the development of the game. It has a lot of dumb scene & rushed left & right, but still captive you to keep knowing more. The graphic & animation look good for 2024.

Battle system is fun for your character that you control, but your AI friend are retarded. They often go on suicide tactic. I end up often switching character as quick as possible & hope to stop them.

Game peacing is bad. No way to save the game when it's unsaveable for over 30min. You got super long fight & cut scene that last almost 30min, no to mention you can't pause them.

This game is far better than FFXIII & FFXIII-2

This game is 10 times better than Zestiria & Berseria.

Support 120fps (cutscene locked at 60fps tough)
Battle done right. No mash to win & tag team done right
The story actually hook you up
No religious theme (that was a huge turn off from Berseria & Zestiria)
improved sparkle

The game have the best tracks available in any racing game I have played out of the box. Support 120FPS. Bike detail & physic is good too.

The reason I recommend the game.

-Game artist is Hideo Minaba
-The main composer is Nobuo Uematsu
-PlatinumGames participated in the development of the game

I completed
Shenmue
Shenmue II
Shenmue III

Fourth when?

Seriously this game is boring for me, especially if you have a lot of experience with a lot of different platform games. I received the game by gift.

Probably recommended for those who rarely experience platform games, since it's mostly based on multiplayer puzzle.

11k hours of gameplay review(well a good bunch hours is from afk...).

First of all... It is an open world MMORPG & it's bound to make people with very strong PC to crawl into very low FPS in very crowded area, but there's option to hide them to maintain gfx performance...

You can progress if you don't have much time to play by doing autopath afk to do small quests & main story. You can AFK leveling, AFK horse training, AFK fishing. I highly recommend to game for completionist as it offer strong reward from doing so. When you explore the scenery, the amount of detail everywhere(sound, music, character model, object, animation) is astonishing. The amount of small side quest & stuff to explore may be a tad bit overwhelming compare to other games.

There's no party mandatory or pay more to progress brick of wall. You buy the base game & all contents is available to you aside from pearl item shop item(OP tent, costumes). A single Pearl item cost 5 times the price of the base game & offer minimal advantage.

There 7 pets from loyalty & quest available from the base game, if you spend enough hours in the game. Storage & marketplace maid is also available from playing a certain amount of time. Storage space on character/town can be bought with loyalty points. It kind of feel close to what you see in mobiles games reward from playing everyday.

I recommend to pay premium, only if you want to be competitive & competes against large guild for siege, node war or can't get good etc...

To enhance, you have to gamble your resource, although you can pay more by buying costume & melt for cron stone to protect your gambling from downgrading, but still stuck in the same gambling chance(at the cost of using more enhancing stones), but you can always have backup resource to gamble on.

Black Desert Online is not new & the GFX is above other MMO by a good margin. Obviously you'll meet people who have 10k more hours than you & it's bound to not catch up even by paying more if they only have payed for the base content.

Gameplay control is like playing an advanced button masher shooter with combo/timing/cancel/stun/back attack/down attack/air attack grab etc.. with space ship type control & make shooter games feel like they are made for babies, so it may be possible to see a large amount of hater for the title.

Game of the years contender

Here's the reason below
-Netcode, desync make kills so random
-The game native input lag is not so great
-Player with terrible ISP or bad PC are more skilled
-Game crash often randomly
-The game mechanic is very clunky & is full of glitches
-FPS players rage quit too easily & team disband too quick.

I'm not into survival, looting & camping. Since it's popular & has many ads... I approve the method used for marketing. I'll give it a thumbs up for the great job done by the publisher. :)
