I can't stop playing Crimson Desert

All right, let's get it. It's time. It's not giving up on the game. I think the game's fun. I just think that there are problems with the game. Feel like that's pretty obvious. Here's where where winds meet. Where winds meet had uh the UI and where winds meet is is like in some ways it's worse, in some ways it's better, but they're both bad, right? I mean, they both are bad. So I actually There he is. There he is. Big dick. Big dick himself. Oh. Oh. Walking into that [ __ ] I've never loaded it into the game before. This is the first time. Damn. So, I did get to I did get to the [ __ ] the guy. I got to Mr. Robot. It was an accident. I got to him. I was just running around. But I'm going to try and kill him first. Let's see here. What is this bird? Can I kill that bird? I killed that bird, right? I I can skin it. Wait, wait. What? Wait. The birds attack the birds attack. What? I I'm fighting a bird. Like, okay. All right. All right. Give me a minute. Dude, how many of these [ __ ] things are there? Okay. All right. I'm going to skin all these birds. Make sure I get because I want to make sure I get as much meat as possible for uh for eating this game for feel more like Dragon's Dogma 2. It feels uh kind of like Dragon's Dogma 2. I can see what you mean, but without the pawns. Like I do think that the pawn system is something that I wish more developers used. I I actually like the idea of a pawn system, and I don't know why more people don't use it. Have you seen the hold escape menu? Hold escape menu. No. What does that mean? I'm holding escape. It doesn't do anything. Yeah, it doesn't do anything on the right side. Scroll wheel. Yeah. What about it? Yeah, I I'm I'm confused. Did they patch the keybind issues? I don't know if they have or not yet. I'm not sure. I haven't checked. Okay, let's loot these [ __ ] things. Can I loot these these things? No, I can't. Catch. Can I get that [ __ ] I can. All right, let's go and go in this way. You get a pet at auto loots. Oh, really? Let me see. Oh, this is it. This This is the whole thing. Okay, let me see. I'll pull this up and options. I don't think this still works, does it? Oh, [ __ ] Damn, I got that big loot. Receive. Oh my god. Hold up. I got to put this on. Just a minute. This is important. Okay, so wait, where where's the loot? Where is it? It's on the top. What do you mean it's on the top? Oh, it's in it's a it's a mini menu. Oh, [ __ ] Okay. All right. Um, so we'll equip this Oh, that's really good. Oh, that's big. Good. Is that better than mine? I feel like it's not. I feel like mine might be better, but it it gives me plus seven attack. I'm going to use that. Damn, that's really good. Holy [ __ ] Okay, so I can put on all that. Well, what do I look like now? Oh [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] bro. I got that I got that on. Equip the new shield. Oh, is the new shield better? Wait a minute. So, I I got the Bulgarian shield. Um, do I want to go with the one I think I want to go with the one It's the exact same. So, I want to go with the one that's got the horse head or the wolf's head on it, right? I think that one looks cooler. The wolf. Yeah. Yeah, that looks way cooler. Okay, let's go over. I got to fight these guys off and then that way we're able to uh Is there a food? Is there a food thing here? Let me see if there's a food thing. There is. Okay. We liking the game more. It's I mean we're playing the game. We're doing what we need to do. So, uh tough meat. I think let's just make this is a big meat situation. I'm thinking right like so why don't we just make big meat like you thinking about that like yeah I'm thinking I'm thinking we honestly just go all the way 24 meat this a big meat situation I like the sound of that I do too that way I'm totally ready for this fight okay and let me see so I can get grapes two. Where's grapes one? So, I get spirit. I guess I could make I'm going to make um I'm going to make maybe I'm thinking like 20 25. Yeah, let's make 25 of these. This camera is zoomed in. Uh it's a little bit of both actually. It's kind of confusing. Oh, look at that. I did that. McConnell hates this game. Uh, a lot of people seem like they don't like it. Okay, so now I got to go and we got to take this [ __ ] over. That's what we have to do. I'm I'm going to just walk straight up to this. I just let them know like these guys right here. I just kill I I literally just kill him right there. What's wrong? That's what happens. Look at this fat [ __ ] Oh. Oh. What's wrong? I ran him off. I'm going to ugly you up. What? We kill everybody. Scurry off to where you came from. I want to always I always kill the archers. Bro, what's wrong? How about you? You want to [ __ ] around? I didn't think so. You little [ __ ] See, look at that. I kill everybody. All right. What did I get? I didn't get anything. Who's this guy? Who's this guy? Oh, it's a little I saved him. I'm such a nice guy. What are these guys doing? Damn, bro. This whole place is [ __ ] It's just swarming with them. This is your Oh my god. I'm taking I'm taking on everybody. Okay, let's go. I got I got to get over to him. We got to kill these archers first. There it is. Die. Shut up, [ __ ] I'll kill him right now. Okay, where where the archers? Oh. Oh, kill him. Kill him. That's an elite. I don't want to [ __ ] with him yet. [ __ ] Okay, I'm already half health. I'm half health. I got to heal. Okay, kill this guy. Jesus Christ, bro. I can barely even see anything. It's dark. I got an artifact. That's me. Northern area. Jesus Christ. Okay. All right. Am I Okay. Luckily, right now, at least we have no more archers, right? That's the only thing I care about. I just don't want to deal with archers. I'm going to kill this guy right now. Get away. You're getting away. Get away. Jesus. Look at all these [ __ ] asses here. Oh my god. Jesus Christ. I got I got to keep eating. I have to kill these other guys first, I think. Like, they just have so much [ __ ] health, man. Oh my god. Okay, he's dead. Good. All right. Only got two more to go. Then I can fight the elite. You perfected muts. Okay, good. All right, one more. Oh, I killed both of them. Let's finish Oh my god, dude. There's no parry. There is, but it's not worth using, especially when it's dark. I can barely even see what the hell's going on. I can't see anything. Okay. Jesus Christ. Okay. I'm thinking about what should I do about my inventory. I'm going to use this flower here. I'm going to eat the flower. That way I have an open inventory slot. Okay. 1v30. Yeah. Holy [ __ ] man. That was brutal. God damn. Still breathing. This is an elite, too. There's so many of these [ __ ] guys. Okay. You're going to lose, right? Got him. And I have to kill him. Jesus. Got him. A holy [ __ ] man. That's no joke. We got to kill all these. Search the bodies. I don't think it really matters. I don't think it makes a difference at all, honestly. Dude, this is Look how big this area is. You want from me? I think we should go around and just fight the boss. What do you guys think? I think we do that. I've only met Dude, I barely even dented this place. Let's go. Let's go try and fight the boss on the other side. Congo loot. Searching bodies. I thought it said all the loot from the bodies just goes to your inventory. Does it even matter? It goes to your your your bank. Oh, you can free them. Yeah, it auto looted to the house. Yeah, exactly. Okay, I got to go around. I think that went pretty well. Like, what do you guys think? Like, I I killed those guys pretty easily. This is hard to fight at night. All right, it's time. Here we go. All right. Check your surroundings. Okay. Should be fine. Let's get him. Wasn't even out of the loading screen. Oh my god. Block. Blocking. Blocking. Block. ABC. Always be [ __ ] Okay. All right. All right. Now I'm full health though. I I have to This is This is better for me. No, it's better for me right now. I I wanted to die so I could get full health. Now I'm going to try. I wasn't trying before. Now I'm trying. Jesus Christ. I got to get him locked on too. That way I can stay focused on him. What are you doing? Little dick sucker. What are you doing? Damn. How he fast? It's a big block situation. What's he doing? What's he doing? I got to heal. No, no. I went AFK. I went AFK there. I stopped focusing. Just going to do it three times, right? Oh my god, bro. Should I instant revive? No, no, no, no. I I I'll do it again. I'll do it again. I should have probably You just reinforce your items. It's just a matter of It's just a matter of doing it. I have 18 heals. That's a lot of heals. Honestly, I think I should Maybe I should just run around them. Maybe that's the strategy. I just run around them and then I just run away from this Oh my god, I run out of space, man. Jesus Christ. I I'm dead. I'm dead. Oh my god, bro. This would be easier. our controller. It's really not. Why would it be easier on controller? I just got locked in, bro. I got locked in like cuz I I can't zoom out anymore. It's the farthest I can zoom out. It's just like that one hit does so much damage. Okay, so I'm already capped out on my heals, so really all I need to do is just kill him. That's it. I just need to kill him. It's really just this. It's this one attack that's like so hard to avoid. [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] ABC. Always be blocking. I'm dead. How do I avoid that? He just hits me anyway. [ __ ] [ __ ] Get the [ __ ] out of here. [ __ ] you. [ __ ] you, dicks sucker. No. No. Oh, never mind. God damn. What a [ __ ] he was. What a [ __ ] That ground attack was [ __ ] annoying. What? There's nothing in here. You tell me I went in here for nothing. I went I did all that for nothing. God damn it. Well, at least we killed him. That's what matters, right? We killed his ass. Where to loot at? Let me see where to loot at. I got a one-handed mining mastery. Wait, wait a minute. That's a drill. Wait, what? Damn. Okay. All right. So, I actually got a drill. Like, what the [ __ ] Okay. Let me Let me check. Can I teleport over here? I want to teleport over there. It's a It's a hand drill for mining. Yeah. Like, I wonder if I can use that. Like, all right. Next time I see a rock, I'm going to hit it. So, challenging or [ __ ] Both. Uh, the ground mechanic is like, it's just it's just badly telegraphed. Like basically the game is not it's not hard but it's like it it's difficulty is created in unintended ways. Does that make sense? Like for example like it creates difficulty through being hard to read, not being challenging to play. So like once you understand what the actual input is, it's easy. But it's it that's not like in my opinion I think that's like it's a shitty way to make a game. But like Oh, let me I got to ride back. M I got to go back over there. It's jank. Yeah, it's jank. But it's not hard. There's a lot of things that are that can be challenging, but they're not necessarily fun. Wait, what the hell is this? Wait, what? I'm going to save right now. What the [ __ ] The heck? Yeah, I never seen this. Look at this. Three Saints Falls cave. What the hell? I've never even seen this area. This is tiny. I There's just a bunch of mushrooms in here. So, I got to throw something away. Okay. Um, okay. I guess I'm going to just loot these pouches. Mhm. Wait, how do I use? But if I What the [ __ ] So, wait a minute. So, if I press the space bar, there's a separate menu, but I can't even access the menu. Oh my god. I've never met a game I've never played a game that had worse design. I never have. This is actually like this. I'm I'm not even being I'm not even being like a joke joking around. This is actually like you have to hold it. That's [ __ ] Like there has never been a video game that has a worse UI than this game. I really do think this is the worst video game that I've ever played for UI. This is it. This is This is the pinnacle of bad UI. Let me go. I'm going to throw these away, too, cuz I don't really need these. Group the items. I don't know how to do that. Never told me how to do that. Spam per band. That guy spamming. I don't want to have people spamming caps lock for me for what? Tell me what to do. That's annoying. That's Yeah, exactly. Don't be so mean to the devs. Honestly, the dev that made this UI should be working at McDonald's. Should never be allowed to make another video game again. It's probably the worst UI I've ever seen in a video game ever. It's honestly like it's basically like this is the concord of you. But I picked up a cat again. Yeah. Never cook again. Never cook again. This shit's burnt big time. Damn. How many mushrooms are left? Like how many mushrooms they want me to loot? Jesus. How many are there? Guys, I it look how I don't want the bowl. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. I think I beat the mushrooms. I beat it. Oh, nope. Okay, I got it. Okay, so I now I have to get out of here, though. How in the [ __ ] do I get out of here? Let's get through here. All right, so now I've got to get back up to the top. I want to find out if they're highlighted. Yeah, the items should be highlight. It should be something like it's just again the the UI for this game is it's I don't know if there's ever been a game worse than this. But that's okay. We we've we've we've progressed through. We're doing well. I think I'm going to be okay. So I have to be on this. Wait, I can't make it. I'm actually gonna I'm actually Okay. Wait, wait, wait. Okay. All right. All right. So, I go up. I'm going to make it up to here. I'm going to get up to right here. Okay. Good. And then I'm going to try and get up to that rock up there. No. No. It's okay. How do I get up there? Okay, give me a minute. What if I go to like right here? I'm going to stand on this ledge right here. Maybe I can go up there. No, I'm okay. All right, we're going to get back up to here. No, no, no, no. This is This is good. This is good. This is good. I don't know why it's working this time and not the other time. No. Okay. I know I can do it. I know I can do it. I was planning for something else to happen. I wasn't mentally programmed for that to work. up up. I have to make it over there. Oh my god. I'm in the hole again. I'm in the hole again. All right. Let's get back into here. We're going to go over to here. I'm going to get right over to here. All right, you can do this. Oh my god. Okay, come on. Please just [ __ ] go up there. Up. Up. Go up. It's the [ __ ] branch. [ __ ] No. What? What do you mean? A branch threw me across the Okay, give me a minute. No, no, we're fine. We're fine. We're fine. Let's go. Get up there. Get up there. You're What are you bugged out? I [ __ ] made it. I [ __ ] made it. I made it out. I made it out of the hole. Okay. Wait, wait. Oh, this is for the drill. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Let me use the drill. Equip. this is a big drill situation. The UI doesn't let me do it. The keybinds don't let me do it. Okay, let me try to use the pickaxe instead. It's broken. I actually I I can't use the drill because of my keybinds. My keybinds are are break it. So try attacking. Oh, it's a good idea. Of course. I It didn't let me do that before. Wait a minute. Okay. All right. Now, we're going to use a drill. Dude, this thing sucks. I think it sucks, guys. Oh, no. What do y'all think? I It kind of sucks dick. You need a weapon? No, I need an iron ore. Okay, let's get the [ __ ] back to city. Hold it. No way. Wait a minute. Really? Yeah. It ain't work. It ain't working. Got broke. Are those trans rocks? No, they're they're they're they're square rocks. Okay. So, who's that guy I got to turn this [ __ ] into? Give me a minute. Journal. [ __ ] that. Okay, so we did this. Okay, there's time to teleport back. I got to go to this anyway. And that's where my box is. You not finished the core quest? No, I finished it. I've arrived. Damn, bro. Damn, bro. Look at me. I'm going to put all this stuff in the box. You think this this game will keep the cattle busy long? No, they're the cattle. They're already revolting. already revolting, man. Was bad. Okay, what did I get? I got a spear. And I got a spear. It's actually kind of good. Yeah, it's really kind of good. Okay, can I put stuff away? Move. Wait a minute. So I can't wait what? So I can't deposit anything. Maybe the box. No. Okay. I thought I couldn't dep Okay. So I can't deposit. So what the [ __ ] I guess maybe I should go. There's no storage yet. Okay. I didn't even know that. Well, I'm full up on my inventory. So, what should I do, boys? What do y'all think I should do? Should I just go sell this stuff or what? I'm thinking maybe I just go sell it. Where? I got to go find a vendor. I guess maybe I can go. Oh, where's a vendor? Gold leaf trading post. Oh, I'll just go vendor over here, right? Yeah, this got to be this. I mean, this has to be like where there's literally a place called Gold Leaf Trading Post. There has to be a trader there. I'm going to teleport into Hernand Castle. No, I don't. You telling me there's a teleporter here? That T button to group it? You've been uh you've been spamming advice in my chat. You've typed it like how many times? Like I I I'm not really sure. I'm not really sure if you have like a mental disorder. Didn't Don't you know it's not Don't you know you're not supposed to spam in the chat? Why would you spam in the chat? Why would you do that? Why would you Why would you spam the same message in chat if you know it's against the rules? I don't understand. It's such a simple It's such a simple concept. Look, I don't know why why some people don't have the mental awareness to not There's literally one thing that you're not supposed to do and people just can't stop themselves. They just they have to they have to get their their two cents in and they just will not stop for any reason. Uh if you spam in my chat, I guess. Okay, I I'll go find a teleporter here. Um, okay. Yeah, I'll go find it. If you It's so stupid. Just tilt it. I It annoys the [ __ ] out of me. It does. M. If you see somebody typing the same message more than three times, just par B. They're [ __ ] annoying. I hate that [ __ ] Anybody who's annoying, I I don't want to have in my life. That's simple. Wait, what? I got to get out of that. I didn't even know that could happen. What the hell? Go. Is it okay to do meme stuff multiple times? Just don't spam. It's really simple. It just annoys me. I don't like it. Okay. So, where is the where's the [ __ ] teleporter here? I'm begging you, please. Where is the teleporter? Which one is it? Cuz I do want to know where the teleporter is. Middle of the giant. Okay. is like right here. Okay, got it. Food. So hungry. Cuz if I had one of the Oh, I see. I see. I just ran past it. I got it. Excuse me. Have you got a moment? No. I'm going to kill him. Just like I said, no spamming. He going to die in game. All right, so I need to figure out. Where's the blacksmith again? Is that him? Okay. Yeah, I can sell probably to this guy, right? Okay. shop. Every warrior counts on the weapon at their side. Oh, wait. Let's sell all of our [ __ ] right now. All this sucks anyway. Uh, I might need that. I don't need this. I don't need this. I don't need that. A book. I don't need that fruit. I need that. Um, I only need two of these. I don't need two of these. I don't need these anymore. I got big money now. Oh, I got a lot of inventory space now, too. I'm just looking around. I think we've got pretty much everything. All right, we're good. Let me just make sure I've endured a couple other things. A blade. Now, let's go back. Remember me when your blade grows dull. Okay, perfect. Now we go back. Gambit. Mm- No. I got walking through here. Okay. And I have to talk to Marius, right? Let's see. Journal main quest. This one here. Let's do it. What is that [ __ ] [ __ ] What about useless [ __ ] [ __ ] Marios? Everyone's out there waiting for us to find them. excellent timing. Seems some people have been asking around about us. So, I did some digging. Yeah, I I've made a list of the ones who might be Greymanes themselves here. Do you reckon you could look into them? see what you can find. Sure. Marius and I will continue to gather information on our comrades. Mhm. We mustn't be passive in this. We should extend our search. All right. Where do I got to go? I got to go all the way over there. [ __ ] Okay, let's go. I have to look into a rumor. Actually, let me just run. There it is. The worst spend my money on the game. Um, if you like openw world games, I think that you'll enjoy the game. Uh, but, uh, it's it's very rough around the edges. I think that's probably the best way I can say it is it's extremely rough around the edges. Like, it's a good game in a lot of ways, but it's also a bad game in some ways that are like really, really frictional. Like, for example, like the UI is really bad. It's hard to understand like what you're doing like it like doing basic functions in the game is like you know something that would take like one button in like another game takes like three in this game and it's incons like so it's like it's hard to understand and it's confusing but the basic gameplay at like a core level is like pretty decent. It's everything else surrounding that. Okay. Oh, look at the big boy here. Walk into the rumor. I can just grow them anywhere. What rumor? A green man living off day wages. Who' have thought? Uhoh. Wait, what? What am I supposed to do? So, I'm supposed to look into the rumor. Oh, there it is. Okay, we're good. I was confused. Ronaldo and a few quality of life updates. Yeah. Oh my cliff. I knew they couldn't kill you. There he is. Even after those black bastards swore up and down, you were dead. You believe them, did you? We've been chasing rumors of you since that day. Truth be told, I I nearly gave up more than once. I bet you didn't. Damn. I didn't let him, though. Damn, I look good. But if you're here, then does that mean? There's our camp where we've been gathering without us. That's not a party unless we're there. Just a bunch of dull bastards, huh? Hi. Now it's a proper gain revival. Tell you what, we'll head over. We'll get them waiting long enough. Um, okay. So, I got to go I got to go back to Howling Hill again. Oh, I got to go take them. Okay. So, I I basically I'm going to bring them over to my castle. I understand it. Nova clearly helped a lot since the game's on pirate base since yesterday. Not good. I got I better get that money I wonder if it works. My cloak looks good, too. I got some more of these abyss artifacts. All right, now what? Examine the dragon totem. Check the letter. Okay. What's in it? Mhm. Read the letter. Which [ __ ] letter? This one? It's not the bottom. Uh I mean this is not it, is it? maybe it's this. This got to be it, right? Send comrades to join camp on missions. Select the region and doubleclick to view the mission list in detail. dispatch. Okay, let's go over here. Is this my mission? Where's my mission table? Wait. Oh. Oh, my horse. My horse. Wait a minute. Big horse situation. Huge horse situation. So, how do I how do I activate my missions? journal. Maybe it's on the map. It's on the map. Don't click the camp on the map. Okay, I'm going to just click on this one then. Missions. Okay, here we go. I can't. one. Maybe missions. No. What about this? Can I send my mission in here? Okay, here we go. All right. Um, okay. Got it. Dispatching selected personel on a mission. Okay, I'm going to do that. All right, we got it. all right. Expand Howling Hill 100%. Back again. Can't stay away, can you? Wait, what do I have to do now? You can pass the time by resting at a bed or a campfire. Can't stay away. Okay, I'm I'm going to pass the time. ABC. Always be resting. Oh my god, bro. Like, when's this [ __ ] going to go? I'm going just do 12 hours. I'm 12 hours right here. I got to rest again. I'm going to rest on this bed now. Now is not the time to sleep. What do you mean it's not the time? What do you mean? I thought [ __ ] huh? I can't sleep right now. If I can't sleep, then how am I going to sleep? It's only at 67%. What the hell am I supposed to do now? I guess I got to go over that [ __ ] tree. That's what I said I was going to do yesterday. I got I guess I'll go over there. I'm going to go over there right now. Side quest. Yeah, apparently I'm going to get that tree right now. these bad guys. You are. It is. Wait, what? Where's my Where my Oh, I didn't have my sword on. I was like, damn. Why nothing working? Okay. What's wrong? Okay. He dead. Jesus. Where'd he come from? Are you enjoying it more than yesterday? I think yesterday I had fun. The only thing I The only complaint I have really with the game is that it's confusing. Like for example, uh there's like a lot of little things like uh like the confirmation button is like different. There's like four different interact buttons. I'm like I'm literally not kidding, by the way. That's crazy. That's insane. Like, why is push and pull not the same thing garbage? Literal trash. Where's Mr. Horse? What's this purple thing? I got a I got a a cube. Hello. that's mine now. Defeat f three enemies with a sword without taking damage. Well, I'm going to get that real quick. Run. Okay, let's go this way. I'm gonna try and make it to the top of that tree. Some more intuitive controller. I never play the controller. I don't know. But it's certainly it it's like I just feel like there's a lot of things like that where you could have just made it. Wait, what is this here? What are they doing? What are they doing over here? Let me kill these people. Oh, so I just got the thing. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh, what's going on, boys? There it is. Damn, I'm just killing everybody now. Why is there lag after every hit? It's not after every hit, it's after every kill. I hate these archers, bro. Like, the archers are so annoying. to where you came from. Jesus, look at all these guys. Oh, I killed everybody. With the UX divine uh developer and the stockades. Honestly, I think you probably whoever designed the UI for this game probably should go to jail. I'm probably putting it out. But I feel like that's the right thing to do. You know, you have something like this happen. Like there has to be accountability, right? Sea or river, my rods will land you anything that swims. That's crazy. As far as 2%. Yeah. Okay. Let me get back on my horse. I got to go up to that tree again. Look at my horse. By the way, I want good as [ __ ] now. Run. All right. This is where the tree is. Damn, that's a big [ __ ] wall. Try and go around it. Okay, this should work. Get going. They use BDO UI. Game would be a 9 out of 10. The UI for a game matters a lot. Wait, there's nothing even here. Wait, I went all the way over here for nothing. What the [ __ ] I I went all the way. Oh my god. Go. Um, okay. Let me see where I need to be. Hernandon room. Who the [ __ ] is this? Just a minute. I got to make sure I don't get hit get killed. I'm going to go capture this place right It was good having a pre-made character. It makes it a no-by for me. Um, I don't know. I mean, like that's the same as like I mean Black Mist Wukong, you have a pre-made character, right? Like I feel like it's okay for a game to have a story. That's not really a bad thing. Our war can wait no longer. I can see that. I can't wait to watch. I got to get like a whirlwind or something, man. Like if I got that, I think I'd be in a much better situ. Oh, what's this guy doing? Oh, you're dead. That's what you're doing. Being like crazy in chats in Civil War. I haven't seen that. And uh print a character. Yeah, IGM was right about six to 10, but for the wrong reasons. I don't think it's a six. I I think that it's I think it's not a 10. I think it's not a nine. I think that a fair score for this game is between a seven and an eight. Like realistically, like there's a lot of positives with it, but there's also a lot of negatives. And I think that like um you know, it really goes to show how Jesus, they just don't know when to shut the [ __ ] up. Like basically uh there's a lot of little things like for example like for but why why don't they just like for your journal why don't they just show you a list of the quests right rather than having to go through all these different menus and [ __ ] and I think that like they don't show you like why does it say one of four if there's nothing else like there's a lot of unnecessary categorization and complication in the game and I feel like the there doesn't there's not really like a benefit to it just kind like it it just like bloats the game for no reason. Oh, what's this? This is like a a hidden area. And I think that there's a Oh, yeah. It says where's a question mark up here? Okay, let me see. Can I go up here? Okay, I'm going to go up here. Complexities. Yeah, complicates the complicate. Yeah. Like I mean the thing is that like I think most people like complex experiences, right? But like a complex experience should be intuitive. Oh, what's this? It's damaging me. Wait, I just I just punched the red flower and it's dead. Okay. The red corals. I see that. Oh, what the Abyss Crescent. that's the [ __ ] that was killing Co. No, I see it. Already got me half. It got It got me half. I I I have my guard up already. Okay, so this shit's done. All right, let me go to here. All right. And what is this here? Anvil. What the [ __ ] is anvil? Okay. Uh, let me jump down again. My quest is almost complete. Have you played BDO? Yeah, I played BDO a lot whenever it came out and I played it a little bit like semi-reently. But the reason why I stopped playing BDO is that like I'm going to be real guys, I think people glaze BDO's combat way too much. I think that if you go back and you look at the combat now, I don't think it's aged very well. And there's like a clunkiness to it that I I I think is like bad. Uh like I'm not saying that the combat's bad and like there's there are good things about BDO's combat. It's not like it's awful, but like I I I do think that it's it's not as good as people think it is. Number one. And number two, um yeah, like a lot of the things in the game I think are like I'm starting a game that's like really big and complicated and I'm not even like a like I'm not like in order to play BDO and to like really get a lot out of it, I feel like you have to play it a lot because it's a grindy game, right? And like that's that's okay. Hey, I'm not saying it's bad, but like that's what the game is, right? That's that's what it is. And so I figured I'd just talk to this guy, get the subjective done real quick. Greet I'm trying to greet him. There it is. If you're looking for wild combat or video combat, I think classic wild combat's the best. I think it's age better than any other game. I really do. Dragon 2 combat superior by mile. If you had Dragons Dogma gameplay in this game, it would be the best game of the year. Wrong. The reason why I think WoW's Combat is better is because of its simplicity. It's a very very simple game and I think that simplicity is something There we go. It's extremely fluid and fluidity in combat matters a lot. Destroy 10 banner pikes at night without being detected. Corn. I got to loot that. simple as being smooth, but it also feels boring really. Like I don't agree with that. Like Elden Ring is really smooth and I don't think it's boring. Again, I think that the the the gaming community has like a brain rot problem where they take overcoming bad design as good design. That's I think one of the most toxic things the gaming community has right now where people will make excuses for mechanics and and design that's like problematic or like it could be better because they've been able to figure it out and it's like okay well you can if you can figure out that's great you know good for you know you're smart good but like I don't think that it's a big deal right it's just a game after Oh, I think people get too tied down to it. What's this? I'm a grave robber now. Thank for that. I never played Marowind, honestly. Okay, I'm almost done. Let me go back over to my area and then I can wait for this to finish. Like what the [ __ ] I cannot teleport. Oh, okay. Now, can I teleport? Yes. Okay. can't make one game like all. Well, I don't think that like I mean like that's like saying well some games should be bad because most games are good. Like I think that there there are definitely like best practices that it's like you know well you can't listen every car can't have a brake system. I mean, like, bro, we're thinking outside the box, okay? We don't we don't need the car to have a brake system. It's like sometimes thinking outside the box is uh is not the right decision. I can't sleep right now. I can't sleep. Okay. So, how how much time do I have left? Let me see what I've got. Oops. Just a second. Okay. And I'm at 94%. So, we just wait for this to be over, then we're done. What's happened the last 10 minutes? What the hell are you even completing? Um, it's a mission. It's like a garrison mission I have to do. So, there is a a storage supply chest in the game, but it's back at the first base camp. Yeah, [ __ ] like that. Stupid manage provisions. What does this say? Manage provisions. Loot the camp's growth. I'll keep it safe. You have my word. The camp's funds through a bit of trading. So I can donate stuff? I'mma donate the helmet. What the hell? Damn, that's a lot. Holy. Okay. Um, is the main story basically doing chores? Uh, yeah. Yeah. Keep it safe. Yeah. Come back when you have more stuff to leave with me. You get more rewards you can get. Okay. All right. It's at 97%. Let's wait it. Let's wait it out. Did you refine your gear? Only my weapon. 98. I don't know why. [ __ ] Tools like pickaxe don't have their dedicated space. They take up inventory space. It's annoying. Yeah, it is. is annoying. Um, it's the same with only having one tool equipped at a time. Like, it's just [ __ ] that's like it's just annoying, right? The things are just, "Oh, oh yeah, I should upgrade my skills." But I let focus on this. You group your stuff. It's a stupid mechanic. That's why nobody else has it in the game. after gather resources to improve the camp. Okay. All right. So, now we did Oh, wait a minute. Okay, that's kind of cool. Oh, damn. Damn. Look at all this. Return to cam. [ __ ] bro. We got the gang all back together. Oh, Andrew, the [ __ ] are you doing? That devil just won you through me. See that? It's leaking already. Come on. It's fine. felt we have to take a joke really the ancestors it's good to have you back with us I feel fortunate you agree more with what IGN says about the game no I can see a reason why the price of knowledge uh oh what's the price of knowledge is that it you Get drunk. No more stews. Sick of stew. Look who it is. Was there an option? A hide helmet. Yeah, I know. Uhoh. Where? Get the hell over there. Where's the guy? There he is. Okay, let's do it. Are you good? Where's my horse? Oh, he's gone. He's dead. Okay. Oh, that's what happened. Wait, are these bad guys? What the [ __ ] What the hell are these guys doing here? Let me kill these guys. Kill these guys. There it is. Now, let's go over here. Hold on. I don't know how you have all these different mechanics without such crazy keybinds. Well, maybe you shouldn't have all the mechanics. Like for example, like the memory mechanic, it's uh cumbersome. Maybe the idea is don't don't add in a bunch of stuff that like uh doesn't really make sense or it just uh over complicates things without a uh Ham. Wait, let me where am I where am I at? So, I think I'm going the right way. Okay. All right. That's the end of to That's the end of the line. Mr. Horse, I'm done with him. And also like the same mechanic like there are a lot of times where like different mechanics will never interact with each other and then you can have those mechanics uh share key bindings, right? Which is I think a good idea. Kildan workshop. Who's this guy? We got to go all the way This 100% just like New World. It's not like New World at all. What are you talking about? It's like New World, [ __ ] idiot. [ __ ] Okay. Uh, let's see. All right. So, there's the kiln. Oh, this is where this is where the explosion came from, right? I think it I'm pretty sure it is. It came from over there. Oh, look at all this. I can't do this anymore. Do it yourself. Oh, is he mad? I don't care about you or this bloody business. Oh, [ __ ] You just try touching those jars. my toe. Uh-oh. I'm sick of this. I've been nothing but good to you. Do I got to talk to this guy? You know, you just needed somewhere to boss around. Okay, here we go. We're good. I quit. Add all this yourself. Grateful shite. Of all times, the damn kilows now. The kils here seem quite special. Special? More like a masterpiece. A marvel of ancient craft. Big enough to swallow stones as large as a troll and then some. Uhhuh. Dub anything in there and hauling it around becomes well easy as pie. It's not something your average artificer could dream of. This kind of work isn't as easy as it looks. Still, that blasted kil's blown to bits. Now what? So why haven't you fixed it? You think it's that simple? Fixing it is easy. Stop hating on a game you haven't played. Finding the fuel for it is a real problem. The thing is like if something looks bad, it's probably going to be bad. Like I would say like 99 times out of 100, something that's bad is probably bad because it use the crank to activate the ancient grer. Is this the crank? Like most things that are bad look bad. Most things that aren't bad don't look bad. Where is it? Oh. Oh, there it is. Okay. Oh. Oh, here it is. What am I? What I got to do? I think that Did it work? activate the ancient generator. Well, what I mean, do I have to line these up? What does activate even mean? Like, maybe I have to get on top of it. The alignments. But they are basically aligned. Maybe I have to push it. Switch. Examine. Match the symbols. What does it mean? Match the [ __ ] I got to bring it over here. All right. I do. I press something over here maybe. Says I I What do I do? What do I do? I I I I don't I don't like puzzles. The symbol changes when you turn one of the poles. Okay. Oh, I think I think I I think now I understand. I'm not sure. Okay. Okay. And now I can do it again. I think this is what I have to do, right? If I put it underneath this, this is what makes sense. What do I What do I do? They're not aligned properly. What's it have to be perfectly aligned? Oh, [ __ ] Sorry. Why does it not work? It's not turning. But why? But I thought I tried to move Oh, now it moved down. Okay. It didn't move down before. go lose yourself. Now, let's go back over. Fix the disconnected kiln. Put fire into the kiln. Okay. Okay. Connect. All right. That's pretty Got it. Let me guess. Do I have to punch this? If I do, it doesn't punch in the right direction. Why am I Why am I hitting to an angle? Just hit directly forward. Okay. Reconnect the gener. All right. So, maybe there's another cable. good day to you. No, it looks like that's it. Reconnect the generator cable. But I I did Like I but I just connected it. Maybe this is going to work. the kill's working again. I hate puzzles. These are so these are so bad. Oh my god. Okay, so let's go back over here. Restoring the broken kill and the range of scattered fragments in the correct order. Okay. So, I have to put the the pieces together. Okay. Well, how do I do that? Probably this one, right? But I thought But how do I how do I use it? it it doesn't light up. Like what what do I do? I thought I was supposed to tab tab. I don't think so, man. Ignite the fire. No, cuz it says I have to put the kiln back together. the cable. No, it's that's not what it said at all. Use the claw. There's no way. grapple the piece. Okay. Where what was the grapple keybind I had? I forgot what it was. which one is grapple? Axiom force, right? It should be F2. okay. Oh no. [ __ ] Come here. Come back. Come back. Come back. Come back. Control. Okay. Well, I don't want to do that. But it says escape. I can't hit escape. I I feel like that's good, right? I mean, it's got to be good. let's get this one. And we'll pull this over here. And then put that right Use force palm on it. Okay. Who said that? Who was it on the top? Oh my god. Okay, give me a Okay. So, I have to punch them together and then for some reason the punch fuses the the stone together. Okay. Thank you, Kirishi, for the raid. I appreciate it. Thank you. Hello. Welcome, guys. I'm trying to do this. I don't. Okay. That that's that's definitely not good enough. Are you able to get the controls working? Well, it's just illogical. Like everything about the game is totally illogical to me. Like why is it that like jumping up and punching them is able to automatically fuse them together, but you can't drop them to where they're aligned? It what doesn't. Okay. So it's it that's done, right? Okay. So it's been fixed. So, does that not Okay, it's working now. Okay, good. All right, so Okay, so that's done. And now I need to get more fuel. Okay, let's let's do that. What What's fuel? What does fuel mean? Put fuel into the kiln. Okay. I'm assuming it's something that has to go in here, right? Oh, I bet it's the blue balls. Okay, now I can figure this one out. Okay, this one's simple. I know all about the blue balls. This I am an expert in. Okay, let's put this in there. Got it. And there's one more ball. Where is the final ball? Well, [ __ ] you. Maybe I have to Maybe I have to turn it now. Okay, there's one more ball over here. It's Oh, it's hiding. Oh, they had it behind the [ __ ] grass. get in there, [ __ ] The bird's face. How would the bird fit in there? Why would the bird fit in? What? Break it? What? You can break it? Oh, is that it? But I Trump would say got some low IQ here. Bro, why would you type this 10 times? Like we've had mods if we have we've had people spamming today. If there's somebody spamming, just instantly permaban them. You have I I don't know why this is complicated. Okay, so now I need to move it again, right? Oh, maybe it's the other one. Oh, it's got it's got to be the other way around. One ball is missing. We figured it out. Come on, [ __ ] Get in the hole. Oh, I would have been looking in the orange area for ages. Everybody would. Smoke billowing out the kill. Oh. Oh, I can finally craft the paw again. Oh, now I'm teleported back over. Okay, now what? Hold on, P. You know, I wasn't expecting much from a human. Uh-huh. But the kill smoking again. Oo. I was so startled, I nearly cracked my head on a bloody pot. It's working well. No, not as well. Perfectly. You have my thanks. You're welcome. He shows on a mini map. I don't think so. I didn't see it. One just for you. I'll have it made in no time. And you'll not be disappointed. Hey. Oh, hold on. Pot. Let's see. Yeah. Where should I start? Okay. Now, what do I do? Kill and repair. Speak with Grimmer. I have to talk to him again. Wait for the right time. Waiting. Press escape and press wait to advance time. Wait, but it already Wait, did I I got it. About bloody time. It's finally done. This will blow his mind for sure. Is the part ready? You're here. Finally. About time. You see that stone pillar? Move it and the door will open. The pot's down below. Go fetch it yourself. All right, let's get this [ __ ] Might take a bit of muscle. Isn't the grass physics a bit too fast? Maybe you shouldn't have much problem. Thanks. Okay. So, what do I do? Operate the device. Okay. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Here we go. Obtain the mysterious pot. Am I just supposed to keep pushing this? Learn how to use the iron pot. Talk to that lad over there. He'll show you how it works over there. Who's that? What are you doing? Okay. Won't do a damn thing. Okay, got it. All right. I thought it was going to be in the middle. Like, that's what I thought it was going to be. Okay. Um Oh, how weird. Okay. So, is he going to teach me how to cut cook with the pot? I think so. Ah, what should I try this time? What is this place? Oh, you're the one who fixed the kiln. Well, now that's me. I'm that guy where the army can also tested. You've got one of Grimir's pots. Is that right? I'm telling you, that pot can hold anything. No matter the size or the weight. It's not possible. Hard to believe, eh? But you'll see once you try it out yourself. You won't believe your eyes when you just pop this boulder right in. Okay, go on. Take out the pot. All right, lift the boulder if you can manage it. lighter. Wait, what? Wait, I just put the open it again and the boulder will come right out. Use it whichever way you see fit. Wait, what the hell? Um, enhancing the pot allows you to craft equipment of better performance. complete the I'm not going to I'm not going to remember that in 3 seconds anyway. It doesn't matter. Okay, where do I need to go? I need to go back over to here. Okay, let's go. let's do it. It's a crafting pot. I don't know. There's a boulder. I put a boulder in a pot. All righty. So, abyss cells to make sure you can store them. All right. Speak with Andrew. Who the [ __ ] is Andrew? Is that Andrew? Okay, I think it What's going on? What's up, [ __ ] Cliff, have you seen Yan? He didn't look too like a moderator. Came asking for coin, but had the eyes of a kicked pup. I brought him food instead, but now he's up and vanished. Not a surprise. He's likely causing trouble somewhere. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Cliff, start the show. Trouble. Real trouble. Real trouble. That idiot's been hold off to the fighting pits. No time to explain. We need to go now. Pull you in on the way. Damn, he got a long sword. Ride a horse and follow Dwayne. Okay. Where do I go? What exactly happened? Okay, here we go. Let's move. Move. Ever hear of the golden festerina? Big name amongst brawlers. Oh, we got an arena arc. Let's go. They settle things fist to fist. No steel allowed. Winner walks off with a portion of the wagers. That's where Yian is. Oh [ __ ] A rule during a fight. He'd be better off if that were all it was. Uh-oh. Uhoh. He got drunk off his ass and stormed into someone else's match. Level achieved. I'm level four. es was the bloody finals. Huge purse riding on it. They had to stop the fight because of him. Oh, damn. The arena's demanding compensation for the losses. I'm going to have to fight coin. You know, Yan, you sooner fight every one of them than pay a single silver. Wait, why does it let me accelerate sometimes but not other him up? It's not just the money. Letting the man who wrecked the final Bwalk free would shame the arena. They'll want something from us. Some way to save face. I don't like the sound of that. Neither do I. If we don't get to him fast, make it worse. I don't know where we're going. He's not the type to sit quietly behind bars. If we're slow, this could turn ugly. Well, we're being slow right now, man. to lay off the drink. If you could do that, we wouldn't be in this mess. I don't know where the hell we're going. What else do we know about the big old place? Been around for ages. Fighters from all across Pwell looking to test their I wonder where we need to go. So, naturally, the wagers, can you put your helmet up for the voice? I don't think so. I don't know how to do that. Champion of the arena is considered a great honor, but you risk your life in every bout. When does the game start? Last time I whenever I get over there named beyond. It should be soon, right? Crowds crave. Should be very soon. And the arena gladly gives it they You can raise your by selecting your helmet in the R2 menu. Oh my god. Ah, he's a tough bastard. But even he can't take on an arena full of brawlers. Oh, this could be it. This is it right here. Right. Enough, Carl. We can't go spending the camp's fun cleaning up your aunt's messes. If it comes to coin, we'll figure something out. Uh-huh. Okay. To try and fix ourselves first. What the hell are we doing? So, you did come running just like your loud little friend said. How very loyal. Damn. He's in the box. I got him in the box now. Your comrade has cost us a large sum of coin. Now, back away. No leniency. Not for this. Should we tell them the offer? What's the offer? All right. What do you want? What do you want, [ __ ] All we need is a crowd whipped into a betting frenzy. I got to fight. Me? One of you goes and fights in his place. I knew it. I knew it. I knew this [ __ ] was going to happen. We'll see you inside. Win three times at the arena. Vigilance. Um, okay. I have to speak with the host. Who's the host? Do we have another challenger? I must be unarmed. Okay. Um, well, how do I How do I be unarmed? Uh, unequip, but I can't The unequip is It's grayed out. The [ __ ] But I can't. But wouldn't it just make The drill. Wait, the drill. Ordinary gloves maybe. Okay. Okay. Okay. Armed duel is secret duel. Follow only your fists and footwork. Use any weapons or attack styles. Don't comply with the rules. Show us your strength. That's fine. Okay. Uh, what do I what do I do? I participate. this is a bit All right, let's do it. [ __ ] Kind of nervous. Close your damn mouth. last time. Just beat the [ __ ] out of him. This Yeah. All right, that was easy. Another round. Yeah, it wasn't too bad at all. All right, now what's next? Your face, mate. Yes, I am. Let's beat his ass. All right, let's do it. okay. So, I just I'm literally just beating the [ __ ] out of this guy. He's in the corner. No, no, no. Didn't think you had in me. Didn't think it had in me? What do you mean? That guy's just a little [ __ ] Fight. Okay. Let me fight the guy. All right. It's my third fight. This is where I win. Oh, this guy's a loser. Be prepared to face, mate. Oh, this guy sucks. Look at him. Careful. You might get hustled. I'm not going to get hustled. Watch. Oh, look at that. Look at that. Oh. Oh. What's wrong? Can't even hit me. Think you had it in Jeez, that guy got destroyed. You should have another go. Wait. Well, then now what do I do? Do I leave? I enjoyed that. No weapons, no excuses. Speak with the arena's overseer. Okay, good. That more than covers the losses. Damn, that [ __ ] was easy. So that's all I had to do. I really am that guy. I guess I am. Oh, it's this guy. Of course. You're looking to be made a unic [ __ ] sake. You going to cut your dick off? Shut it and walk. Why? I did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong. Take it with me. I got weak minions. Yeah, I guess so. So, why exactly did you cause a scene in the arena? Solomon's low swinging sack. That match made me want to gouge my po [ __ ] ass. Where the horse at? Where the horse at? Slow feet, stiff stances. Horse bastards look like drunk goats fighting. Isn't he going to get on the horse with me? Couldn't stand just sitting there. So, I offered a bit of advice. Eh, there it go. You know what the [ __ ] told me? Gay as hell. All right. All right. Let's So, [ __ ] it. Give them what they ask for, right? Okay. Let's go. Oh, we got to go this way. Those two [ __ ] then team up against me. Bastards. So, I crack the skulls. I've got the arena's private guard coming after me. Get Get back on, bro. Get back on. Get Get on. Get on the horse. Get on the horse. There you go. There you go. Yep. Yep. Yep. Perfect. All right, let's go. So I handled them too after another. Oh, come on. The crowd loved every minute of it. Better than the rubbish before. I go myself for their entertainment. Instead of mate, they stuff me in a cage barely fit for a [ __ ] dog. Damn, bro. He's mad. Build a cell. At least make it big enough to lie down in. Eh, [ __ ] Actually, now I think about it, maybe I should go back and finish the job. Oh, he's mad now. Maybe we should have left you there a bit longer. Okay, we made it. God [ __ ] [ __ ] god [ __ ] tree. [ __ ] Okay, we did it. [ __ ] his restraint. [ __ ] [ __ ] [ __ ] Oh [ __ ] I got to go see Naira. Mhm. Going to shut her up good this time. You know how she is. Starts bragging and never stops. Well, she heard about this archery contest at some wet ass nobles manor. Oh no. She kept bragging on it. She could beat me with her eyes closed. Silly cow. Called the woman. All set to make her eat a big slice of umbu pie. But I can't shoot a bow like this. Oh no. I'm going to have to do another kick her ass. I got to beat the [ __ ] out of him at the manor. Okay. So, now I got to go back. All right. All right. Where's Mr. Horse? Where is he? Hi. Is this the new Runescape? Uh, yeah. Yep. That's right. Get out of the [ __ ] water, man. Is it worth getting? Uh the game is extremely cumbersome. Like basic activities and actions in the game are unnecessarily complicated and challenging and annoying. Uh the story is going there is more substance to gotacha to gota game side quests to the to the story. the graphics are great. The combat is Um, I the puzzles are unintuitive, confusing, and misleading. Uh, let me think. Oh, I want I want to try and use Oh, wait. Hold up. Hold up. This is important. I want to try and use my thing. Where's the Where's the spinny boy? Damn, that's kind of cool. But you do have those cool moments like But why is it that Okay, got it. got it. Now we get the copper ore. This is huge. This is really big for me, guys. Puzzles aren't your four time video games. Well, when you have So, here's the problem, right? So, like with the kiln puzzle, there was an orange area, which is usually the quest area, and the quest area extended beyond the uh the kiln. So that would logically make lead a player to assume that all the balls in the area would be inside of the orange area, but they're not inside of the orange area, but the first balls that you see are inside of the orange area. So it's deliberately mis it it it's it's misleading in in like two or three different ways. Like why is it that you have a quest objective area and it doesn't include the areas that you need to obtain the objectives from? It's illogical. It's completely illogical. Especially whenever you've already established that with the rest of the game's behavior. It's just confusing. Is this it? Who in their right mind would draw a boat like this? A naira. Come on. You just drown area sort of. Yeah, it's not in the area. Only one ground is not in the area. Arrow. Truly an art form. What's happening here? Help me out here, Cliff. Hey, get a load of this. There was an archery contest at Lion Crest Manor yesterday. And Dwayne gave everyone a proper show. He smacked himself with his own arrow. Ooh, what an idiot. Found the controls customization difficult. Yeah, cuz it is enough. And you botched our last hunt, too. So, I got I got to do archery against this [ __ ] It was a blessing day though, right? Huh? Yeah. Yeah, it might have been. Truly miraculous. Everyone loses the same arrows. Yeah. Only your shots sell off like leaves in a gale. One might think you found a win to your bow string. That's enough. I'll win next time. You'll see. I leave it be. Bold words. Sure you can back him. Of course, Cliff. We're coming too. Okay. So, I have to fight this [ __ ] in an archery match. I witness game trying to be different. There's a lot of There's a lot of things that are the same for a good reason. for you crying when you lose. I'll tell you that. Andrew, keep Naira busy for a bit. Gladly. Take your time coming back. Ride. I've got to [ __ ] it. I'm riding. I'm riding a horse. Where the horse? Where the horse? There the horse. Okay. She'll make one mistake time. I swear. Sure. I may have made us lose that deer we'd been stalking for days. But Nyan gave me enough trouble for it. I paid my dues. Gree. Besides, swords are more my specialty. I know if I can get a win, she'll shut her mouth for good. Damn. Get [ __ ] shut up. All right. I knew it wouldn't be the worst idea, you know. Why is he standing still? That's not bad. Yeah, we can settle when we get back. Prove that I'm the better warrior. Okay. Um, everything in this game is complicated. Well, it's not complicated. It's convoluted. Complicated implies that there's That's what I thought. Pick him up. But she's always been like this. So that's what this is about. Run. Yeah. Yeah. Go ahead. Yeah. What we were saying? What were we saying? I was I was busy. I was busy. I had to do something. Why do Why am I not able to run again? All right. This is it. This is the archery contest. Let's do it. We'll speak with us soon. I'm finally ready. And join the contest. Make sure you win and put Naira in it. Please put her. All right. Now, now we're talking around for the trouble. Let's go. Win archery contest. Okay. Holding all sharpshooters. All right, step right up. Participate in an archery contest. you look like you handled a bow. Can I give it a shot? Yes, let's go. Now the real game begins. True. Idle hands make for a dull mind. I'm ready. What are we waiting on? On my mark. Oh, I see. I see. Now I overshot. I got it now. Oh, he got me. He's actually kind of fast. I got to focus. It didn't I I clicked the button. It didn't work. Got it. All right. Now, what? We must keep our blade sharp. Be ready for whatever comes. You're not falling out just yet, are you? Uh, well, I got to play three of these, but that's like that's like $3. Let's have that. Let's do it. I got to beat this [ __ ] leprechaun. It's all in the dollars. It is a lot of money. My mark. See, sometimes whenever I click the button, it doesn't work. Like I just I click the button there, it didn't work. I clicked the button again, it didn't work. Click harder. No, I'm serious. [ __ ] I'm going to lose. I I'm actually clicking I like I I literally I'm I'm I'm literally clicking. It's not going off. That was a great I'm so annoyed. Care to lose a few more arrows? one more. Jesus Christ, that's so [ __ ] annoying. We can't afford to relax. Click like. No, I'm like I'm literally am not joking. Like I literally click the button and the arrow doesn't shoot. I I'm literally trying to hit it. I'm actually so sick of this [ __ ] I lose. Wow. That's great. Truly remarkable. I've never seen anyone move like You're not bowing out just yet, are you? Oh my god. Now I have to I have to do it three more times. Okay, I'm going to I'm going to give it one more attempt. Like I I'm literally like I I I'm clicking the button. It's not going off. I'll let you win. I don't know what to say. Is a hold and release. No, it's not. It's just a click. It's literally just a click. I'm losing. This guy's like a thousand times better than me. All right, I got to lock down 100%. I lost again. Jesus, bro. Like, wait. God damn. Don't let this fervor fade. You only have to win one time. Really? Are your eyes as sharp as a hook? Come Okay, thank God I do. Wow, that was so It's actually so garbage. wait. I can't talk to him. [ __ ] I knew you could do it. Mhm. Right then, let's go and glow to Naira's smug little face. Let him know. Oh, um, hold on. Carl did say we were running low on coin. While we're here, why don't you head into town? See if there's any odd jobs. All right. Hey, I got to go do something else. I uh I'd go with you, but uh I've got a good deal of gloating to get to. I'll leave you to it. Go shoot. It's not um I guarantee you that uh like I whenever I click the button, it didn't go off. It's just not responsive. Like I I don't know why it's like that. Hey, I see you. Don't be stingy. Oo. All right, mate. Consider yourself. Let's go down over here. So, head to Hernand. All right. Well, I'm here at Hernand. What the hell do I do now? Find a person in need of your help. Back to this place. Okay. What about this guy? Watch out, mate. Alustin's letter. Okay, maybe that's it. Did you fight the red devil? Yeah, I did. Okay, so read his letter. Okay, is this the letter? Zammon, if you input on a on a fake frame, your click never existed. Okay. Um, visit the fence. Okay. Oh, you're a civilization. Okay, let's go up here. How are the boss fights? Boss fights are decent. Like, they're not I mean, they're not Elden Ring, okay? They're just decent. Okay. How do I get in here? Greetings to you. Uh, okay. I got to I I went all the way around. [ __ ] Okay. Uh, let's go into here, I guess. Visit the fence. Is this the fence? Quit standing around. Go tidy those shelves. I'm assuming this is the fence, right? You think this junk's worth coin? I asked for luxury used trash. You think we're running a bloody warehouse here? Are you the fence? Hey, a free sword. Damn, look at me. Which corpse did you pick? Let's have a look. I'm not just picking up. Yeah. Yeah, sir. You're saying you left something with me? Don't feed me lies. Huh? It's a fake. The alchemist. Oh, you mean what master aloo and left with us. Ah, right. Just a moment. You out. Go on, get some sun. Get some fresh air. Out. Out means out. All right. Come on in. Here's what you came for. These are scholars robes from the Institute. What's this? You have a keen eye. They're issued only to scholarstone attendees. Wear them and you'll have no trouble gaining entry to the institute. So I have to wear different clothes. Now then safe travels. All right. Um, so I have to go to Scholas. Damn, this place is far away. Okay, so where is it? It's over this way. All right. Uh, what's my closest teleport path? I guess it's probably this one. Have you tried dual wield with the swords? No, I haven't. I feel like um I feel like blocking and like being able to parry is like super OP, especially against bosses. And like whenever you're not fighting bosses, I don't think anything else really matters. Like there's no there's no actual like combat challenge that isn't a boss. at least that I I've had so far. Okay, let's go this way. We got to ride over there, which honest Okay, the dual wield then uh I don't want to cuz I don't know what what to do with like I I don't I don't know how to do it. And like judging on this game, it's probably going to take like 10 minutes to figure out how. I just don't really care. Okay, so let me go back. Especially since like what I'm doing now is working really well. Same controls, different move set. Um, I don't know how it works. If I did, I'd do it. I just don't want to I I I don't want to learn it. Like, at least not right now. I I'm already I'm already like residually annoyed from the last like puzzle sequence that I had to go through. I don't want to have to go through another puzzle sequence called the menu. so we'll go up this way. Can I not do that? [ __ ] Okay. Oh, I made it. I made it. Okay, good. All right, here we go. Run. Now I got to go down here. Oh, hey. I go across this. Maybe I have to go up this way. Yeah, we'll go up here. Now, why would I do But that's not even the key line for that. All right, let me resummon the horse up here. I can't. It's not following me. Okay, now it should there he is. Okay, good. Okay, where'd he go? now let's go. That's not all right. Go through all this. Oh, get out of here, fat. Walk around that gate. We're almost there. This is a long path. Ooh. Oh, [ __ ] There's a massive. Okay. Uh, I guess I have to go up. You got it. There it is. There it is. I think this is the right path. It must be. Do you like the game? I think that my enjoyment for the game has probably gone down. I would say cuz there's just a lot of things that are like tedious and annoying. But overall, like I would probably finish it if that makes sense. But I do find it to be like really really really tedious. Okay. So, how do I get up there? Um, or is it up this way? I mean, it seems like there's a pathway and it's from here, right? Oh, it must be that way, right? I think it has to be. New chop. M was about the IGN score. Well, I to be fair, the IGN score was based off of things that I thought were stupid, but Okay, wait a second. Oh, I have to put that thing on. Excuse me. Okay. Um, equip. All right, there we go. And that way they'll let me in. Ooh, do I do I have to punch it? Okay. So, I have to punch. Okay. I have to observe him and then punch. I already I thought I already had that. Press X first. okay. I have to wait for my spirit to come back. Give it a second. You got to keep trying. X drains your spirit. Does it? It didn't work. I I don't Nice. Do I have to line these balls up? Holy [ __ ] Okay. Um, wait. I thought I said I was supposed to head there. Wait, I'm here, right? Is this it? Yeah, it is. Okay. You're rage baiting us? No, I I just that it's just it's confusing to me. Like, it doesn't give me feedback whenever I'm doing something wrong. such is the fate of those who seek. Should it? Yeah, of course. Why are there two Why are there two separate punches? It's just stupid. Okay. Um, speak with a scholar while wearing the uniform. Okay. Well, wait. I I can't. There's no indicator to speak to him. I have to walk away and then walk forward again. Is this perhaps our curiosity is Solomon's grill as well? Pardon me. Holy [ __ ] man. I don't believe we've met. Where might I find the dean? The dean? You certainly don't waste any time. Good. I needed a moment to clear my head. Great. I have two spells that are effectively the same thing. I'll show you how to get there. I don't know. Didn't someone put in a good word for Not many outsiders make it past the gates. Something like that. In the old days, none. Are the graphics really this bad? Is it just a stream? I think it I think the graphics are actually pretty good. Surely changed. I feel like the reason why the bit rate is low is because of all the moving particles. History has proved that's actually one part of the game that's not problematic. All innovation is doomed to be warped by wicked hands. The deem hid this place to keep it safe. Innovation? You mean flora and fauna, the sky and stars, even other worlds. We study everything and anything. There is no end to learning. Wouldn't you agree? Follow this road and you'll come to Corono. The [ __ ] you talking about? But bear with me a little longer. I'll show you a breathtaking view of the Institute. Don't be put off if folk seem a might on edge. One eccentric scholar damaged some ancient ruins during an experiment not long ago. What do I do now? There. Do you see the institute at top the cliff? Ooh yeah. It's as magnificent as ever. You'll find the dean there, but take care. The mountain is quite steep. Uh, if the climb is too taxing, there is a road through Coronzo. Best of luck to you. Okay, let's go. get height mogged. I did. I got hypemoged big time there. Guy was massive. What are you [ __ ] drinking now? Pepsi. Drinking Pepsi. Let's go up here. I think that I just need to walk up this way, right? I'm pretty sure I do. and find a path. I think that I'm going the right way, aren't I? Damn. I got to go all the way to this big ass area, too. Okay. Okay, I'm going to use the horse now. Where's the horse? There's the horse. Have we reached the verdict for the game? My opinion of the game gets worse. Um, let me let me do this though. Right now, I'm trying to focus on this. Okay. Speak with the dean. natural events one after another. We must find the cause. Quickly. Yeah. And move away. I was so absorbed. I didn't even see you standing there. Single player. I am the dean of this institute. Though still a student myself. Oh my My work is to study the world beyond bound to this one. What is it that brings you here? This is like Blackmth Wukong. No, Blackth Wukong was a genuinely amazing You asked me to look into it. Was a tremendously amazing game. It's nothing like Black Knowledge beyond this world. To seek the unknown is to invite unforeseen peril. We are not blind to that truth. Why do you continue such dangerous research? A world beyond, linked to ours by a hidden passage. They may appear separate, yet the two worlds are one. If more souls could reach that place, a brighter future would surely follow. You press on at your own peril. Do you think it'll pay off? Chaos is on the horizon. We must arm ourselves appropriately. Okay, so then what does that mean? What do I do now? Come with me. Helmet's going wild. Yeah, I really wouldn't say Blackmouth Bucon was amazing, though. Just a linear game with Souls elements. Really? I thought it was great. I wish you to meet. Yeah, maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong about that. Like, you know, it's an unpopular opinion, but I really thought Black Wukong was an amazing game. Mind, not everyone can reach the abyss. Most cannot hope to cross the threshold. Have you set foot in the abyss? I have. Few can claim that distinction. Tell me, what was it like? It was filled with it's probably one of your one of your favorite game genres. Yeah, it is. As I suspected, definitely is like I like action combat games that are like that principle unlike those of our world. Many scholars here, myself included, devote their entire lives to its study. Your account alone will prove invaluable. Mhm. Some may even envy you for it. Damn, there sure are a lot of walking. There's a lot of this. Just play abiotic factor. I've heard of that game. I don't know what it is. If you have truly set foot in the abyss, he will take keen interest. Okay, makes sense. He's working on another experiment. stretching for a gigantic game. Pacing takes a hit where you do zero to no combat. I just realized we haven't done any combat at all today. What a except for that one area I did that wasn't even part of the story work. Oh no. I guess there is the punching quest which is a little bit different. We're here. Octavius. We have a guest. What's his [ __ ] name? A Greymane sent by Alustin come to aid you in your work. He doesn't strike me as a scholar. Perhaps not. But unlike us, he has touched the abyss. If you could just give us a moment. Tomorrow, at this very spot, I shall open the path to the abyss. You can have a hand in it so long as you don't get in my way. Don't mind him. He speaks harshly, but he will be glad of your help. Now, what? What do I do? Help with Octavius's experiment. Don't tell me this is another convoluted, confusing puzzle. Right. Wait for the right time. Okay, I have to press X. Okay, so now what? Now then, shall we begin? Yes, let's begin. I have spent countless days in torment. Anomalies caused by my failed experiment brought ruin to us and the town. I was racked with shame and guilt. But my pride would not let me abandon my So today I shall prove my research. Now let us begin. Activate the lock switch to switch underground. I guess this is it. You what do I do? Is it like literally underneath? What the hell is this? oh. I don't know what to do. It says it's underground, but like I don't know where what does underground mean. Is it down here? Like may Oops. Maybe it is. Maybe it is. Okay, here it Okay. So, what I have to do? I have to stand here. extreme convoluted. I actually don't think that one was a problem at all. I don't I think that one was fine. Like that's a simple obvious puzzle. You can easily figure out what you're supposed to do. Um so I can't go back up there easily. I have to like climb up the side of the wall. It's an old puzzle. 90s games had this [ __ ] Yeah, but it was confusing cuz I hit the one on the corner and it didn't work the way that it should. so this one should be simple. so let me guess. I have to punch it. The problem that these g this game has is that there's no real logical continuity. Like in some puzzles you need to use the slam to push an item in and in other puzzles you can move it in by using the pull and push pull and push button. This is confusing. So like for example, you should be able to just move it in by using the push. Like logically that's the way that it should work. But for some reason it's not because like for example the kiln quest you could just simply push it in but with this one you have to punch it in. But then the other one you had to punch it in but this one you didn't. So like there's no continuity at all. And that that's the problem is that it's hard to understand what you're supposed to do intuitively because there's mixed messages. Okay. So now what? No clear indicators. The gate at last perfected. Success is my grasp. Well, it doesn't make you think. It makes you think one thing and then it's something else. Right. That's the problem cuz like the game leads you into a pattern of behavior and then it says no, it doesn't work that way this time. Wait, wait. Something's something's not right. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Stupid Octavius. You nerd. You little nerd [ __ ] stop. Do you think you've lost your mind? Use axiom force to remove the unstable core. Okay. Will you all bear witness to the gates of a new world open? Uh, my calculations were correct. I was All according to plan. Just a bit more. Just a minor adjustment should do. Press Q. But why why didn't it show up ahead of time? It doesn't work. It says remove the unstable. Why? How am I supposed to? Punch the squares. I don't think that's Take the sequence back back out. But that doesn't say to remove the core. I can't even pull it out. That doesn't even work. The claw is axiom force. I know that. Look up. There's nothing up. I'll try to get closer maybe. Is it the top pillars? No, cuz they're just be they're beams. I'll pull up from this direction. Oh my god. This is just so bad. Holy [ __ ] this is awful. press Q to pull. Q to pull. Why would it say to use axiom force? This is axiom force and I can't. Okay, maybe it's down there. So, you want me to use Q while doing it? I tried that. Don't you think I would have tried that? My work is almost complete. If I were to stop now, I cannot prove my hypothesis. Oh god, Greymane. Are you all right? Oh my goodness. Oh my god, bro. What happened here? This is the most [ __ ] game I've ever How did all this happen? Or what do we do? What do we just do there? So, here's the reason why it's [ __ ] Wait a second. Oh, I got focus now. Spawn. Hover. Huh? Heat. Hey, Heat. I'm dead. I'm going to I'm going to die for sure. Um, I I I don't know what to do. It doesn't tell me what to do. I'm dead. So, let me just for a second explain why the Axiom thing is [ __ ] Because whenever you grab other objects that you can control with the Axiom force, there's a menu that's on the side of your screen of what you can do with them. That's the reason why. So whenever it says like you can move it up, down, move it up, around. So whenever you grab something random that's not interactable, there's no menu that appears. And you can look at, for example, whenever I was moving the other squares that as soon as I grabbed it, you were able to move it forward, backwards, etc. It said Q. No, it didn't because that's a secondary activity, right? So, it says you can move it around, but you actually have to click mouse buttons in order to push and pull, which isn't indicated on the UI, but it's indicated on the UI in other instances whenever you grab something that the game indicates that you can move. It said Q. No, no, no, no, no. You You're not understanding. So, what I'm saying is that, for example, it literally said Q. No, no, no, no. you're not. Okay, let me let me explain this again. Maybe people aren't understanding this. So, whenever it says for the Q, like in order to hit the Q, um it doesn't say it, right? And then whenever you hit Q, it says move, which means move the mouse around. But there are other sections like here, let me show you. No, I'm I'm now Now, now now I'm now I'm now I'm focused on it. Now, now we got we got to look at it. Now we're gonna we're gonna look at the VOD. No, I'm I'm now now Now I'm True. No, we're we're gonna go all the way now. Health agent. Okay. So, let's take a look at it. It's not working. you see how whenever I grab this object, it puts these extra uh these extra things here, right? And it says rotate, right? So, rotate. It says right here. So, this is whenever I grab something. You see that? And it says move. So, now I'm moving…
