Black Dessert Online First Impression 1 Hour Gameplay | Mac's Gaming

My first impression of the game was that it is very cluttered. I don’t know where to look for, what to do, even how to close the pop-ups. Sometimes during battle, I was more concerned about hitting the right key as well as making sure I didn’t accidentally press any button that would open up another options.

There were too many texts to read and it’s almost hard to make my screen focused on the game & the quest. Not to mention, there’s also the chat on the left side that was quite distracting. Perhaps it’s just me who rarely play this kind of game. Eventually I got used to it.

I heard from several reviews on youtube that this game has a lot of grinding and requires us to “work hard” on it. I mean, I certainly have the time whenever I can and for the most part, I’ve only started playing all of my games again because I got a gamepad but unfortunately, I learned the hard way 🤣

Anyway, with this game, I also didn’t focus on customizing the character but rather focusing on the first quests of the game. I’ve unlocked a few places by now but I am sure, there are more to it. So far, I fought about 2-3 bosses and I still had no idea what this game is really all about, maybe it’s just where we explore the realm, side quests, and that’s about it?

So far, I really like the graphic and since it’s my first MMORPG that I’ve played after so long, I was mostly in awe of the graphic. It’s so immersive and perhaps its novelty that made me truly drawn to it.

The combat mode in this game is quite interesting and I got tired pressing the keys while fighting some of the bosses which made me die. I tried playing with the gamepad but this isn’t really fitting and best to play with a mouse.

While this game released a long time ago, it’s one of my few purchases that I didn’t regret getting. In the past, I enjoyed game like Eragon on PS2 and I’ve been looking for similar games and wanted to play it. While Black Dessert Online might not come close to that, the art and aesthetic of the whole game reminded me of it.

Character customization

After playing for an hour, I decided to give my character a new look. It’s so intriguing how it is quite in-depth and we can basically customize the avatar to the details. If you watched a little preview of my youtube, I ended up changing the hair color of the character as well as the face and the overall expression of my character. Now, she looks like this!

Before

After

I got a pet!

I ended up getting a cat and I named it "Cing". It's just like the name of my parents' pet that they're taking care of. They even have similar color. Apparently, the pet can also learn some skills and you can take it in and out.

My next goal of this game is definitely learning about enhancement skills, more of the basics, as well as guilds in the game that quite a few people on the chat mentioned about. So, see you in my next one!
