lost ark is like what if we took the minute to minute combat of diablo 3, cut about 75% of it and filled the rest up with fetch quests where you deliver like a basket of eggs to 5 townspeople, took the soulless and entirely embarrassing story and writing from d3 and decided this is actually too profound lets dumb it down somehow, then threw in a bunch of pay to win mechanics in for good measure.
its so aggressively mediocre that i cant help but assume the reason its so popular is amazon is running a covert ad campaign so powerful the likes of which have historically been reserved for when the cia is prepping to coup a small middle south american country, if only to keep the foreboding sense of doom i feel over the popularity of this game at bay.
there is little here to appreciate but a carefully crafted dopamine shotgun intended to leave the player bleeding from a dozen holes in the skull, with a conveniently placed cash shop with whatever you need to plug them. want to make this experience we have stretched out across hundreds of hours less painful? only 20$ per wound.
