I'm playing right now, so much so that I've had to give Black Desert the back seat for awhile. However, the collection of pets continues.

Depends, if you wanted to play on a Console, you won't be able to refund if you find the inputs to be game breaking... and there are some shitty inputs for sure. Steam will do the usual 2hr refund, and you can remap the KB/M controls (there are a lot of them though). There is a lot of negativity building towards the game due to the controls and the UI. I think the UI is fine, but it could use some refinement (Where Winds Meet is worse, imo).

Went nearly 2 hours. Runs great, but... game needs to cook. Especially in terms of controls. When they are janky this early on, can only imagine when you get more skills. Refunded it.

Fully get all the complaints especially around controls. Currently my biggest gripe is tap to sprint on horse, just let me double tap on… with a map so big it’s killing my fingers.
One thing they nailed was exploration and meaningful loot though. Found gloves that auto lock pick, and a pirate hat with detect treasure on a ship I rowed out to past a mine field full of pirates. Shit like that is so incredibly cool to me and just a random tiny game area.

I -think- you need a better horse than Herspia, or to level it up further for a better Sprint.

Died an embarassing death this morning solving a puzzle in a place called Haunted Hill (north of Hernand Castle aways). You learn a skill there that you then need to use to solve the puzzle by draining some water. The device(s) needed to drain the water require air/wind to make them spin. So I was standing in front of the first device, started up the new skill to make the device spin..happened to be just a bit too close and the device just clobbered / ragdolled me to death in its little cubicle area.
Also took down the Reed Devil. Most annoying fight by far, and its minions on the way to the boss arena were just as annoying. Those elites hit haaaard. The area of the boss fight itself was amazing though, even is just a field of reeds. Only thing that ruined the scenery was this big tower off in the distance that wasn't rendered well at all. Really, really need a view distance slider.

This game is intriguing. Looks like a janky BotW meets Witcher with extra exploration and less story. Assuming a few patches will smooth out bugs and controls and I’ll dive in. I’m too addicted to Arc Raiders right now anyways to try and take on a massive single player open world rpg.

Im at Reed Devil right now. And I’m going full on old man
Hateyou
at this point and getting good at leveling up all my shit so it’s an easier fight 
Alwo you can run passed all that and right to the boss fight.
For the first time in a long time I’m bypassing that for now (mostly because I know that fight is gonna suck) and it’s time to explore all the other stuff. Was awesome bounty hunting Salvatore. Little furry crying for his mom saying he identified as a bear and his mom should feed him honey. Almost killed the hooker instead of bringing him back. But I wanted that extra 50% silver.

Had an odd encounter while exploring. There is a location called Torchlight Beacon near-ish Hernand Castle, found a unique helmet there (Helm of Ignition). Now, if you zoom in the map and go north of that Torchlight Beacon tower (just to the right of the second N in Hernand on the zoomed in map), you'll come to a meadow. It had 3 aggressive rock worm things. I could only defeat them by using the Axiom Force grapple on their heads. When killed, each left behind an element object (Fire, Cold, Electric) cube type thing. I could move it around with the Axiom Force grapple, but nothing else. They gave no Knowledge entry either. I hope I didn't fuck some future quest up because those element cube things disappeared after awhile.
Then I started getting attacked by these physically immune moving shrubs called "Wandershrubs". They could only be killed with Force Palm, each dropped something called Abyss Cells, and one dropped an Abyss Gear: Ascension (+10% climb speed). Thought that was cool.

He does a lot of cheap damage, but has pretty low HP so when you get the chance to hit him, he'll die fairly quick... its just getting the chance to hit him is a pain.Im at Reed Devil right now. And I’m going full on old man

They just announced on their website they plan to add a patch to address some control issues

Good, need a reason to delay playing and finish atomic heart which is pretty great/psychotic. More of what I'm seeing in clips makes me very excited to deep dive crimson. Little tip video with stuff like using the tiger palm or whatever to break minerals/tree's, pick up small stuff easier by while holding control just walk around and it will scoop it up.
Using lantern/light blade absolutely everywhere to see hidden items in boxes/npc's and POI seems huge.
