I've heard the game has some Nazi connections. Probably better to sit this one out and look away
You know, fair.
As for the game, the marketing machine must be doing its job because I have never seven a screenshot, much less video, and I still found myself looking up if it was coming to consoles a few hours ago.
It's an Amazon MMO game and New World just came out from them, blew up huge for a week, then fucking crashed and burned, so yeah maybe give it some time.Pretty sure this is a Korean MMO and Amazon is just the publisher. You have the internet at your fingertips and still this ignorant?
The difference is that New World was a game MADE by Amazon.I think I remember seeing the game on twitch last year, and apparently the game was released in 2018 in Korea
Lost Ark is actually a fairly "old" game that Amazon has just picked up Publishing rights to.

I literally just said I've never seen a screenshot and had only heard about it today that I'm aware of. Forgive me from noticing the publisher from a quick Google search!
I'm the only one allowed to be ignorant in this topic you scum!You actually did your research and even said it's a Korean MMO in the OP. It's easy to mistake Amazon as a Korean game developer though...
I'm looking forward to playing this all day tomorrow! The early access didn't really seem to have server issues so fingers crossed the actual launch isn't a mess.
Well I played for about 5 hours and I'm not sure if I'm going to keep going or not. I was expecting a better ratio of ARPG and MMO but it's basically 95% MMO and 5% ARPG.sounds like you should play PSO2
The combat is fine and I appreciate the absolutely ridiculous amount of content but it didn't really grab me today!
sounds like you should play PSO2
Have you played PSO1, by any chance? I got to try that out on PS2 way back in the day -- episode 1, at least -- and although I had a friend who was SUPER into it, so I ended up getting roped into some local multiplayer on a number of occasions, I was never into it. The combat was ridiculously stiff, the gameplay loop wasn't that interesting. It was like playing Diablo 1, clearing one or two map floors, and then going back to futuristic Tristram, except I was never clear on how useful my upgrades were or what I was really trying to achieve.
I'm sure PSO2 is way better, and I don't want to hijack this thread to talk about PSO2 over Lost Ark, but I know how much you champion the game, so I figured I'd ask if you had some sense how much of an upgrade the game was fundamentally. I suppose simply from almost 20 years of technology later it simply has to be better, but the core gameplay wasn't anything exciting, so that's not saying much.

What exactly do you mean by 5% ARPG and 95% MMO?
