Some of you might hate the fact that this game is on here and I would completely get that. I’m sure I’ll get some flack for including it to be honest. Maybe even lose a few subs.

But hey, the fact is that Black Desert is actually a damn good game to play.

Its combat is top tier. Its graphics, excluding the often complained about popping in are ridiculously good looking.

There is a large variety of unique classes to choose from with the exception of them being gender locked and the world is a huge open sandbox.

Technically this game should be selling itself.

However, the main complaint that has stopped it from being truly competitive as a title is the fact that people claim the pay to win aspects make the game unbalanced.

Let me clear this up real quick by saying that it may be a little pay to win in respect that you can pay for items that don’t necessarily benefit you or give you an advantage, but you can sell for in-game gold, which in turn is used to get further ahead through, for example, upgrades. So technically it could be pay to win, but at the same it doesn’t offer anything that would technically be classified as pay to win.

Regardless, Black Desert is fun. We’ve made it to our mid 50s but we ended up not enjoying our classes as much so we kinda stopped, temporarily at least.

The thing that stands out about Black Desert is the fact that you don’t have to play it the same way as everyone else.

You can become a farmer – you can raise horses – you can spend all day grinding – you can fish until your brain bleeds – you can just spend time exploring everything and everywhere.

Black Desert offers you so much freedom and I guess some people forget about that and would rather just criticize it.
