Corepunk First Impressions "Is it Actually Worth Playing"

[@Waydots]

Pre-order Corepunk for exclusive armor and mount skins and become a part of the next big MMO-ARPG grind experience for early access: cw9m.short.gy/Waydot 👈

never played torchlight or diablo? these games are just coping that xD

[@Xhotic]

My only gripe with the game is the lack of Instanced Content, they claim to be adding more in the future, but i still think 1 Instanced Dungeon PER BIOME is far too little, and if they could do like atleast 2-3 per Biome i think that would be enough to make room for future ones to be added without feeling like its too much bloat... But game seems amazing and very unique, and im very excited to try it.

Does this play like Albion Online?

[@SabbothArt]

Been really eating up whatever videos I can watch, hesitant to grab the 36 dollar early access pack but the concepts and gameplay are super intriguing. It definitely looks like it can be amazing but it's always good to be skeptical!

[@Xhotic]

36$ one time purchase, with no P2W is better then todays monthly sub model cost, just to wipe your progress year later (WoW, FF14) or having to buy a sub AND Expansion box price (WoW.....FF14) lmao

[@4nkur]

been playing this since alpha 2 ... over the course it evolved. devs are listening to community and making good changes. I think it has potential cant wait to play ea.

[@GrinnR]

This looks like a retirement game. As in, good if you're in a retirement home and can play whenever you're not sleeping or catching the early bird special.

[@esli7833]

Is there really no passive health/mana regen out of combat? that's QOL #1 for me, I don't want to have to farm potions just so I can then play the game.

[@punpun3257]

moba style camera is actually great for people like me, who has vertigo and can't play traditional MMOs. very cool!

[@zombiejesus7445]

Is this going to be launched on Steam? I could picturing playing a TON on the steam deck when it launches

[@Nabrukadmezar]

Do you play dota 2 on the controller?

[@Xhotic]

No, the devs stated it will be released onto steam when its fully released, aka a year from Early Access launch! (around this time 2025 im guessing from what the devs said)

[@flixfeliks]

they said its coming to steam after EA

[@rafaelbonatto904]

i get a Albion Online vibe

[@mr.f6975]

Hey Waydot did you have any issues with the launcher ? I tried to download and unzip but my vp is flagging it as malware. Did you have issues with this ? Anyone else ?

You should try brighter shores!

[@mcheezy]

That loading screen is making me sweat.

[@Rated_xv]

Yea I'm not really sure if that particular loading screen is a sense of humor or something to laugh at... Not saying its bad I just think that loading screen is just more sexualizing than funny...

[@kyejohnson55]

Honestly the thing that gives me faith is them purposfully not releasing on steam yet, so they dont get hit with a mostly negative that sticks. Also gives me faith itll be supported until at least a steam launch, which by then ill have had my fun to justify the money i would assume

[@DrPlonk]

The only thing this will do is make the game never hit full release because they will run out of money/players before even making it so far. Not using steam is a massive disadavantage nowadays.

[@MrFearlesskiller]

Devs sponsoring a review? Yep disliked and moving along

[@sethischosen4338]

I tried the game when it first came out, and the lack of any kind of help is a kind of masochistic design that isn't for me. I couldn't figure out what to do at all, and I even asked people and we were all as confused so I stopped playing and don't think I'll pick it up when it does properly come out. I would love for you to give us a full Brighter Shores video though! I'm really loving that grind as a side to the rest of my life

[@Waydots]

Brighter shores is coming soon :)

[@sethischosen4338]

Sorry, beta or alpha or whatever it was came out

[@midwestbox]

I was excited for this up til the last few tests they did and man it was rough. Literally had to wait an hour just to chop a tree down because the spawn rate for trees was so bad. You also felt super weak early on, like you can die from one enemy even as a "tank" character. The combat was hot garbage. 😂

[@Deviantloverable]

Looks goofy and fun

[@danielhudy8560]

The idea of an MMO not being a service based payment process feels unfeasible. Servers and dev work costs money and the way games work in the market is there is an initial hype that generally falls off pretty quickly and then bumps up upon dlc/big releases. Surviving off expected bulk cash infusions feels dangerous. Curious to see how long they are able to stay alive with that payment model. Game looks pretty good though! I'll put my money where my mouth is and likely purchase it. Thanks for the review hadn't even heard of this one yet!

[@ryuno2097]

I'll wait until the game is fully released before I buy the game. A early access (still in development) mmorpg is a no go for me.

[@HrapVideoGames]

Welcome to Kwalat brother

[@zombiejesus7445]

Definitely looks like a better version of Albion

[@animuspsycho6973]

Core gameplay of Corepunk is having a chrome tab open with a guide to do basic tasks because the game “doesn’t want to hold your hand”… Like I get that people miss “harder difficulty” mmo’s but I feel like this one is being difficult not as in requiring skill, but difficult like a “child who doesn’t want to go to school”. This is best shown in quest where you have to find a brother of one of the goblins- “Go find my brother. I don’t know his general location! F*ck off! find him”. For me that summed it up like this - We are a difficult mmo so we won’t tell you how or where to do something f*ck off figure it out. Soulslike games are difficult, but this, this is just poorly written.

[@animuspsycho6973]

Oh and the swearing - Haha, so funny he said the fword. Whom and by Who was it written? Naughty dog?(“dmc” mistake)

[@Nabrukadmezar]

No f****** controller, no ps,no xbox, only for pc , this platforms and controllers just crash the games

[@egemenozan5641]

By design, it kind of has to be an afterthought, but it should be taken very seriously. Any gameplay style can be more accessible if the developers are creative enough, so they don't necessarily have to design the game around that. People are playing Age of Mythology with a controller pretty comfortably right now, and that's an RTS, possibly the worst type of game for a controller

[@BasegFarmer]

Stalker 2 tmorrow, path of exile 2 on the 6th, theres no way ill have time fir this 😭

[@DrPlonk]

Yeah, it's so niche it will be dead within a year, mark my words. Not being on steam will actually be the biggest nail in the coffin for such a niche title.

[@محمد-ذ3ص3ث]

Why ai voice acting gather the developers each one can cover 2 or 3 npc and I'm sure some of the fans of the game who are now on beta are willing to cooperate for it.

[@scorpeon555]

Mapping system just looks like a bad idea. Not having ANY idea what's in the zone until you wander around aimlessly to find it? That ain't a classic MMO trope nor "not holding the player's hand", that's just telling the player to go [community guidelines] themselves for daring to want even rough landmarks and settlement locations. Don't even need a "you are here" label. Standard map of the region with large points of interest on it would suffice. But not having any of that until you stumble onto it? Bad design.

[@Teppic11]

Absolutely not a fan of AI voice 'acting'

[@Genny_Woo]

Womp womp

[@TinyTank4Live]

Well the alternative would be to either have tons of text to read (which 99% of players will just skip at that point) or spending god knows how much money on VAs...I'd just turn the dialogue audio off if it abnoys me too much. Has made a lot of games better for me in the last years lol

[@Genny_Woo]

@ exactly

[@erickfw197]

​​​@@TinyTank4Liveits ok as an accessibility option for games that are meant to be text based, but if it's just to save money, it's actually doing the oposite in the long run, making voice actors lose jobs and have to charge more, making it more inaccessible and starting a death spiral. Also the quality just sucks, AI can't act, it just says the words.

[@TinyTank4Live]

@@erickfw197 you're completely right! But generally speaking, companies don't care about any VAs. If they can save money with that, why wouldn't they? People will still buy and like it if the rest is good.

[@jordans9801]

dude sorry but i just cant force myself to enjoy this camera style. i really dont like not being able to move my camera around. it feels so much less interactive to me to not be able to do a 360 degree turn and check out your surroundings, like you can in osrs or WoW. main reason why i couldn't keep playing albion online. this locked camera position is just not for me man. also i realize this is 100% totally my own opinion some people love this camera style and thats great

Im gonna be honest release day is gonna be horrible. The resources are not going to exist. They already don't your never going to be able to find anything ever.

[@jadethejaded.3703]

What you said has literally been done in every single MMOs ever. In short, this game does nothing except for the fact that you can move your camera away from your character. Not even a good quest system, or a unique combat system.

[@mocean2354]

the game is insanely fun and interesting to explore, i don't know how so many people are so braindead and cried over the quest system literally all you need to do is to READ and explore, Throne and Liberty doesn't have a unique combat system not even a questing system but it plays a lot, y'all should wake the fuck up and start enjoying games and stop looking for that UNIQUENESS to change the MMORPG genre. I guarantee you that even Riot Games will use very similar questing systems or combat from other MMO's

[@jadethejaded.3703]

@@mocean2354 That is still no reason why you should spend money on this game if it's literally just like every other MMO ever. What you just said is literally the bare minimum in an MMO. And also you telling me that I should stop looking for uniqueness in an MMO then please take a look at exhibit A. THIS game trying to advertise all these basic things as a 'selling point'. And also you telling people to just "wake up and enjoy it" without giving a reason is even more proof of this game's lack of even trying. And also you being stuck up on the quest system thing, is another proof that you also don't have any other argument possible for this game other than just being a dick. It's an MMO, dumbass, if this is all you could do then how do you expect it to last? Are you just going to go tell people to just "fuck you, wake up it's good" until the player count rise up on its own? Are you going to start sucking people's cock so they could enjoy the game because of its simplicity? Well, you seem to certainly be good at the latter since you're already doing that for the dev with that comment. If you enjoy thing for its simplicity then good for you. Most people want more than this and you're not going to change it by calling the mindset of wanting something more braindead, which is Ironic, you, the ignorant idiot that you are telling people who do not like simple things that they're braindead and trying to force people into liking it by insulting them and never once making an argument for the game. They're going to play something more interesting that already exists whether you like it or not, if the player count falls you can't just be pissed and blame the player who have to spend money on this product btw. Also, no one said anything about a different quest system, just something with more effort than just "kill 10 boars" or "give blank some blank". Only you are hung up over this being different. And every MMO does have a very different endgame combat what are you talking about? In all my years of playing MMO every single one is and feel completely different atleast in endgame even FFFIV and WoW are different even with the nearly the same control scheme, Either you just play each MMOs to level 5 or don't actually know what you're talking about or is a 6 year old who thinks "mE prESS bUtTOn, BuTToN DoES dAMaGE" is the same in every video game ever. I swear I put more effort into this comment than the devs put into this game. And I swear this game (maybe not the dev but atleast you people) saying that this is amazing at this state is an insult to video games that actually are and tried to be because I do not even see them trying to improve upon anything. Unless you meant insanely fun as in literally as in it's making you batshit then I'm sorry for your family and friends.

[@TheMotley91]

watching this video then going and reading the website FAQ. makes me feel like you're playing a different game the whole FAQ has different information on it regarding class archetypes and also just says " yes we will be adding this in the game" when asked about core features. it also mentions a beta test close to the end of 2025 before full release. isn't early access used for testing and fixes? or is this just some ALPHA pig they trying to pump out to people before pull the rug and close the whole game?

[@oopomopoo]

I'm not sure if you genuinely don't understand or if you're intentionally misrepresenting what it said. "Beta Test When will the Beta test start? The Beta test will start a couple of months before the full release of the game, which is expected by the end of 2025." In case you genuinely don't understand, the 26th early access is the beta test. This is simply stated in a second part of the FAQ as is common in faq's to occasionally have redundancies I didn't see any other contradictions from the video and the FAQ either so I'm thinking youre more likely ragebaiting. Guilds and farming (profession) aren't exactly 'core' features nor were they referenced in the video to my memory.

[@aguyhere7945]
