Are korean games garbage ?

So I tried BDO recently, play until the hard cap (lvl 56), and and explored some mechanics.

The thing is, this game is clearly a joke. Like, every single fucking mechanic is revolving around the cash shop. This is almost funny, like everything is made to give you an uncomfortable experience if you don't use your wallet.
Even armors, unless you buy outfit from the cash shop your character will look more or less the same.

And on the top of that, everything is grindy as fuck, once you're 56, you gain like 1% of xp every hour of hard grinding and it gets worse each lvl to the point only a very few people are 62 (there is no lvl cap by the way).

The thing is, the game has some very attractive features, like the combats are fucking georgous even compared to solo games, animations and graphics are top tier (although badly optimized), you have shittons of content (even though there is no endgame pve).

I noticed koreans had always the same strat, they relase a game with great ideas, or beautiful combats and then ruin everything with a cash shop.

But why do they do this ? What's up in this country ? Even Ubisoft and Activision are angels compared to korean dev. I don't understand this whole phenomenom.

Yes.

Normalfags keep falling for the Y ONLINE thing over and over so they keep doing it. Koreans dont know any better so its normal for them.
>>
Koreans have seriously some of the worst taste in video games. Also the worst taste in music.

Decent movies though from time to time.
>>
Except for their character creators, yeah, pretty much.
>>
You have to find the older games that are run on private servers that basically have x1000 rates on everything. There's only like 10 people on but if you just want to explore all the game mechanics, its fine.

I have yet to encounter a Korean game that isn't bad, to be honest. I'm sure they exist, but I certainly haven't run into one. China is sorta similar, but they do put out decent/good games occasionally. They seem to really like 2D action games.

Your fault. Koreans and Asians in general are the most autistic people in the world and they make games that appeal to them and only them or other autismos.

Back in the day when Korean MMOs were all the rage, they tried to make a real game. Too bad it sucked. Nice Hyung-Tae Kim designs though.

That said, Pump it Up is a nice alternative to DDR if music games are your thing.

>>380936831
Why they do this? Gooks while being quite intelligent, have high boredom tolerance, because of maintaining their rice farms over thousands of years. Also static environments and tedious farmwork suppress their individualism and out of box thinking, thats why asian societies looks like soulless ant colony. Every single korean game is trash.

I completely agree with your analysis, but I'd like to go a step further and say that the cash shop integration is intense enough to the point where it actively degrades the UI, which is already shitty enough in these fucking gook games.

BDO's biggest problem is that it originally advertised itself as a sandbox, but turned into a shitty themepark and as a result became a frankenstein monster abomination.

/v/ told me you can DO ANYTHING in this game like fish or craft to sell... but there's no direct trading so you have to either be self-sufficient or rely on a strictly regulated auction house to make money. Then there's the fact that there's no actual end game so once you hit max level you either craft or fish to make money, or you grind mobs (which is the best and most efficient) to level and make money. Then there's the guild wars, which have no semblance of strategy whatsoever and is just whatever guild has more members of the OP classes. Due to how PvP works you simply cannot compete against players with better gear leaving smaller guilds constantly curbstomped by wealthier ones and it all turns into a zergfest of which had more players logged on.

Don't even get me started on pricing the game for $30 and then releasing a fucking premium subscription in the cash-shop. I fell for the shilling hook, line and sinker and I am posting this so the shills don't trick anyone else.

Love this game, has some faults but only pay $10 and you own it forever. Comfy as fuck, sick and tired of sub games where you feel you are forced to play to get your moneys worth.

Nexon's corporate model is to create a good game with great potential, then incorporate a cash shop and slowly increase it's power.

The core quality of the game itself will ensure there's a large number of people giving it a try, potentially buying a thing or two, and it's initial potential will create a dedicated fanbase of players who are willing to spend large amounts of money on the game.

After a certain point, the main focus of game updates will be towards that group of big spenders, and when they come to their senses and the funding starts dropping, they quickly shut down the servers and seek out a new game to milk.

t. Mabinogi, Vindictus, Dragon's Nest, and numerous others

Despite blatantly trying to copy sc back in the day it was still a pretty fun game. It had a pretty neat hero system too, felt like inserting FF characters into an RTS game. Factions were also very varied.

this. Gooks game dev companies make games that panders big spenders. Pandering big spenders cuts the game quality. It's like how pandering to SJWs cuts the game quality as well, except you actually earn money from big spenders.

Having a strong and/or pretty character on your online game of choice in Korea/China, is equivalent to having an expensive watch/jewellery/car anywhere else in the world.
They like to spend money on their characters.

>Then enchanting items (40% success for best enchants) came along with $9 runes
>New update is going to make enhancing necessary since you get huge damage increase after +10.
>Enhance now goes up to +20. Gacha items (chance to drop from $5 items) give you 30% chance to enhance item right up to +15 from any level

This game got fucked hard. I regret dropping $600 on it over the course of my 5 years. All that time and money wasted on a game that exploited me.

Never again, Nexon. Never again.

They did the same shit for elsword. It has really good mechanics and core gameplay but once you level cap and you wanna start going for endgame content you'll want to fucking kill yourself. PvP is absolutely ruined because it's so p2w you literally cannot stand a chance. The whole game is ridden with this and even to get necessary b slots you have to fucking pay or somehow scrounge enough money to buy it on the board. The only reason I still play is because I am so invested and actually fell into funding a character so it feels like a waste of money if I don't use it.
>>
>>380936831
>Like, every single fucking mechanic is revolving around the cash shop.

While the game is shit for many reasons, this claim is complete bullshit.

If you played in like the first week when retards couldn't handle dealing with Camo you'd be correct, but we're a long way past that.

Add Heroes of Incredible Tales to the list. It's a reaction/skill based game so being a whale doesn't make you all powerful but nexon has been progressively making it p2w and very hard for f2p to keep up with whales. Last update was literally just content for spenders.
