Quantity over quality. Just put as much shit in your game as possible because your average gamer can't recognize if a mechanic is well designed or not. They just think "oh new content" and consume.

This 3/10 open world AI generated slop game being pushed so hard is so fuckin suspicious.

Marathon that is actually a really good and fun game which got near universal critical acclaim is getting dogpilled by a paid hate-campaign while this game gets off scot-free.

there is unironically 0 exploring in the game.

you can find generic chests with randomgenerated loot, a generic shiny chest with a reskinned weapon that's worse than your starting sword, or abyss cubes you can farm from bandits, or a shitty puzzle that takes 5 min to do even though you know the solution, which also gives you an abyss cube OR a shiny box with shitty randomgenerated loot OR a reskinned weapon worse than your starting sword
>>
>>737096361
The puzzles are actual puzzles
All points of interest give you good rewards, unlike in Ubisoft games

Basically anyone calling this game "ubislop" is a casual that doesn't play games or too low IQ for anything but the most surface-level analysis.

It has almost no competition in the single-player AAA survival horror genre.

>>737095251
Generic open world locales are good
Using AI assets is good
Adding random gameplay elements that server no real purpose is good
You don't need a compelling narrative
You don't need an interesting protagonist
You don't need fun and fair boss encounters
You don't need a memorable soundtrack or interesting art direction

Just fill up the slop trough with a giant bland open world and sprinkle it with a bunch of tacked on flashy bullshit and todays ADHD zoomers will reward you greatly for the opportunity to consume content

>>737098354
I wasn't able to bring myself to finish this and now I'm having trouble finishing Crimson Desert as well for largely the same reasons, there's a lack of variety across the hours and in CD's case there's too many cases of unwarranted and purposeful tedium.
I think the only reason why I was able to finish BotW and TotK was because I knew that at any point that I could just finish the game in less than 30 minutes by bumrushing the finale, but if I want to finish CD I have to go through bugged quests, clean dust off of solar panels, do several shitty unresponsive boss fights and remain a forceful participant of a story that I don't care about.

When other games do this, it's usually called "inspired by" or "copy." No one is disputing that it has very clear and obvious veins of inspiration, but this is hardly anything new and something games have always done, you silly knobhead

>>737104118

That a successful AAA game doesn't always have to be a slurper narrative driven game. Crimson desert has basically no coherent story but the gameplay makes up for it tenfold. There's actually shit to do in the world.

We can learn that making a good game means its going to be good. Making a bad game means its going to be bad.

When a game has:
Actual exploration
Some weird fucking sky puzzles that are impossible to solve without looking at a guide and half of your elemental move set locked behind them but the game not telling you this.
Even more exploration puzzles forcing you to visit various places to solve the initial puzzle.
GOOOOOOOOOD COMBAT
GOOOOOOOOOD GRAFIX
GOOOOOOOOOOD random shit to do farming/housing/ranching/camp management/seperate resoucres for camp management/sending your guys to build bridges/send your guys into wars/send your guys to do renovations for random shit which they do in real time and is kinda cool seeing them work like the slaves they are etc.
When the game has F U N combat which feels FUN.
FUNNY AUSTISTIC STRAIGHT WHITE MC
And when the game IS SO FUCKING HUGE SO FUCKING COOL. You know its going to be good.
Simple as

>What can we learn from Crimson Desert's success?
That a game can sell without pandering to browns and AGP mentally ill subhumans who want to play dress up with their bimbo doll.

is base ps5 version decently playable?

>>737104481
>RDR2 invented maps?
The map style and icons are literally the same. They have giant question marks for discoverable stuff, exactly the same as Rockstar
>Not even going to comment on this one, what did you want? Press X to go walk forward and click R3 to turn left?
Yeah man they really had to steal mashing X to run faster, or make your horse run faster, or the exact same input delay for turning around, or holding X to pick up objects the exact same as RDR2
>RDR2 invented weighty animations?
Weird how you'd decide to have weighty animations in an action adventure game, suspiciously while copying various other elements from RDR2. Must be a coincidence that they both control the exact same way
>RDR2 invented trade goods? (Spoiler alert, they lifted this directly from BDO, which has had wagon trading for longer than RDR2 has been around.)
This is a complete lie. I'm talking specifically about selling wagons, not trading with wagons. The process to sell a wagon is identical
>lol, lmao even
why does an action adventure game require you to specifically pick up each individual item one at a time the exact same as RDR2
>Oh, I see I've been coaxed into a snafu
literally no defence for blatant theft
>Steal RDR2 hunting and compendium
>Halo invented FPS. Wait, wrong game.
same again, you have no defence for them ripping mechanics 1 to 1 from another game
>BOTW invented stamina?
No. Crimson Desert's system is identical. They can't put a single spin on it? They have to make it the exact same and slightly tweak the symbol?
>BOTW invented puzzles?
BOTW popularized physics based puzzles in an open world game, but regardless of that some of the puzzles are the exact same. pick up shape with physics gun and place shape in the right hole
>BOTW invented fucking PHYSICS?
BOTW and Half Life 2 don't have the same physics tools, they both operate different. Crimson Deserts operate identically to BOTW but with less variety funnily enough. Maybe they should have stole all of them

The real takeaway is that /v/ is an even bigger echochamber than reddit is now. So many people here plug their ears and scream that games will fail while being completely oblivious to the rest of the market, desperate to think their own tastes are the only ones that matter.

Hilarious what 4chan has become.

Performance mode can't hold 60 fps and its just a raw 1080p output. Balanced (40fps) and quality (30fps) work good.
>>
The game has many elements which are unremarkable if taken in their own right but which in complete combination with all others cohere miraculously and give a whole greater than the sum of the parts. If there’s a lesson then I suppose it’s don’t lose the forest for the trees.

This is a pretty good summary.
