imagine a world where every step could
0:03
reveal treasure or danger where the
0:06
thrill of Discovery isn't just
0:08
encouraged it's essential that's cor
0:11
Punk but is it the MMO we've all been
0:13
waiting for stick around and I'll show
0:15
you what makes it different and why it
0:17
might just surprise
0:23
you welcome to my first look at cor Punk
0:27
the highly anticipated MMO RPG G
0:30
launching into Early Access on November
0:33
the 26th I've spent over 30 hours
0:35
playing in three Alpha test sessions and
0:38
let me tell you it's the kind of game
0:41
that stays with you what hooked me it's
0:44
Unique Style A Perfect Blend of
0:46
nostalgic MMO RPG Vibes with modern
0:49
Innovative mechanics and now with Early
0:52
Access it's time to dive back in stick
0:55
with me as I show you everything that
0:57
makes this game stand out from the fog
0:59
of War system to its addictive combat
1:01
and progression trust me you will want
1:04
to see this in corp Punk creating your
1:07
character is more than just picking a
1:09
look it's choosing your progression path
1:12
you'll start by selecting a hero type
1:14
which essentially acts as your class and
1:17
from there you'll have three
1:18
specialization options or subclasses
1:21
tied to your weapon and skills I went
1:24
with warmonga legionary a big tough orc
1:27
tank because let's be honest who doesn't
1:29
love being being a massive orc it takes
1:31
me right back to grinding the Elder
1:33
Scrolls Oblivion as a kid the legionary
1:35
is the tank option but I could have
1:37
chosen the shaman for a more damage
1:39
Focus play style now the character
1:41
customization gives you some control
1:43
over things like hair and a few details
1:45
to make your hero your own but it's not
1:47
the most detailed creation system that
1:49
I've seen that said it does get the job
1:51
done one thing to keep in mind your
1:54
choice of subass does matter if you want
1:56
to play as a tank it's best to start out
1:59
with that as switching to a different
2:01
subass and weapon option later will take
2:03
a considerable amount of time and a much
2:05
higher level to be able to switch but
2:07
the main trade-off is choosing a faster
2:09
damage Focus class can make the early
2:12
progression feel much smoother and
2:13
faster so the question is do you start
2:15
with what you love or make the grind
2:17
easier cor Punk had me hooked within
2:20
minutes there's this immediate blend of
2:23
nostalgic MMO RPG charm mixed with a
2:26
Sleek Modern Edge it's like if RuneScape
2:29
world of Warcraft and ALB online had a
2:31
baby and then someone tossed in a dash
2:34
of Fallout but make it cyber Punk but
2:37
not quite so post-apocalyptic and out
2:39
comes cor Punk it's hard to pin down but
2:42
that's what makes it so interesting this
2:44
is a game aimed squarely at adults from
2:47
scantly clad women with let's say very
2:50
generous proportions to NPCs who are
2:53
literally high and handing you joints
2:55
for Quest rewards carp Punk is just
2:58
unfiltered fun the dialogue is full of
3:01
modern slang and hilarious voice
3:03
interactions with NPCs sometimes
3:05
completely losing their while I
3:08
have to deal with all of you and your
3:12
papers it gives the game a personality
3:16
you don't see in many MMO RPGs and that
3:18
modern twist really sets it apart from
3:20
the crowd but what really kept me
3:22
playing was the humor and the vibe few
3:25
MMO RPGs take this bold cheeky approach
3:28
to the genre it's refreshing it's funny
3:31
and it's something I didn't know I
3:33
wanted to see in an MMO until now your
3:36
adventure in cor Punk starts the moment
3:38
you step through the portal you're
3:40
dropped into a lush forest and the first
3:42
thing you'll notice is the fog of War
3:44
covering your ingame map it's your job
3:47
to uncover it one step at a time
3:50
exploration isn't just encouraged it's
3:52
essential the world is expansive with a
3:55
variety of biomes to discover shifting
3:58
weather patterns and a Dynamic day and
4:00
night cycle that adds a real challenge
4:02
to the nighttime Adventures venturing
4:05
off the path can be dangerous sometimes
4:07
more enemies than you expected are
4:09
waiting in the shadows but that's also
4:11
where the excitement is Corp Punk's
4:13
world is visually stunning vibrant
4:16
Graphics bring to life its Flora trees
4:18
and biomes with detailed towns landmarks
4:21
and hidden points of interest whether
4:23
you stumble across a small camp a ritual
4:26
site or even a random dead body there's
4:29
always always something to catch your
4:31
eye one of my favorite touches is the
4:33
interactive environment looting
4:35
containers smashing boxes and even
4:38
destroying scarecrows in fields adds a
4:40
level of Engagement that makes the world
4:42
feel alive it's these little things that
4:45
keep exploration exciting in the early
4:47
game you'll spend a lot of time in
4:49
goldenfield town and it's surrounding
4:51
forests but be careful every corner you
4:53
turn can hold a surprise straying too
4:56
far might lead you into orange and red
4:58
PVP enabl zones where you'll need to
5:01
stay on your toes the attention to
5:03
detail is obvious throughout cor Punk's
5:05
Landscapes it's not just a world you
5:07
play in it's a world you lose yourself
5:09
in and with so much to discover the only
5:12
question is how far are you willing to
5:14
go to uncover what's hidden cor Punk's
5:17
combat system takes inspiration from
5:19
arpg and mobas delivering fast-paced
5:22
skill-based action where every ability
5:25
can make or break a fight at the start
5:27
combat feels quite simple you have one
5:30
ability and an auto attack but as you
5:32
level up you unlock new abilities and
5:34
improve existing ones by the time you're
5:37
fully geared you'll have three main hero
5:39
skills an ultimate and two optional
5:41
skills you can pick up from a skill
5:43
trainer combat is directional meaning
5:45
you aim your abilities at Targets and
5:48
positioning is key when fighting
5:50
multiple enemies you need to circle
5:52
around adjust your aim and time your
5:54
attacks carefully with limited abilities
5:57
and some long cooldowns strategy becomes
6:00
essential you can't just Spam skills and
6:01
hope for the best you'll need to manage
6:03
your Mana position correctly and save
6:06
your key abilities to interrupt enemies
6:08
or control the fight when it really
6:10
counts cor Punk sticks to the classic
6:12
Holy Trinity of MMO RPG roles with tank
6:15
healer and damage as somebody who's
6:17
spent many years tanking in MMOs I'm
6:20
thrilled to see a strong tanking role
6:22
within the game from my experience so
6:25
far tanking in cor Punk comes down to
6:27
mastering threat management and
6:29
positioning you'll need to gather
6:30
enemies maintain aggro and maneuver
6:32
carefully to stack mobs for your group
6:34
but it won't be easy tanks have much
6:36
lower damage output and competing for
6:38
threat with high DPS players and healers
6:41
is a real challenge cor Punk's
6:43
progression system feels deeply
6:45
rewarding especially in those early
6:47
stages leveling up your character is
6:49
heavily Quest driven with quests
6:51
connected to your hero's growth and
6:53
development most quests are classic MMO
6:56
RPG Staples collecting items hunting
7:00
enemies or finding Hidden Treasures it
7:02
has that nostalgic feel but with enough
7:04
complexity to keep it interesting
7:07
picking up multiple quests allows you to
7:09
complete them all in one go earning gold
7:11
gear and chunks of experience as you
7:13
explore leveling unlocks skills allows
7:16
you to develop your talent tree and
7:17
grants access to skill trainers for
7:20
additional support skills from things
7:22
like small burst selfhealing to walking
7:24
speed boosts professions also play a key
7:27
role early on requiring you to gather
7:29
and craft items for NPCs high level
7:32
crafting pays off with faster material
7:34
Gathering reduced failure rates and
7:36
bonus drops but there is a Twist
7:39
switching between professions can cause
7:41
others to decrease it's a system that
7:44
rewards specialization though early on
7:47
you'll need to dabble in everything to
7:48
progress gear progression and gear score
7:51
are Central to your power in core Punk
7:54
four key elements contribute to your
7:56
character strength these are weapons
7:58
artifacts chips and runes items can be
8:01
purchased from NPCs on a rotating cycle
8:05
meaning you might not always find what
8:06
you need all things can be crafted if
8:09
you have the recipe and the materials
8:11
items range from Tier 1 to tier three
8:13
and gain bonuses from higher Rarities
8:16
higher gear score means greater power
8:19
new weapons will improve stats and DPS
8:21
artifacts act like slot of gear that
8:24
boosts attributes such as defense and
8:26
attack power chips are kind of weapon
8:28
enchantments that enhance the
8:29
performance higher quality weapons allow
8:32
more and better chips and Grant perks
8:34
like increased attack speed and damage
8:36
finally ruins upgrade artifacts offering
8:39
additional benefits to further enhance
8:41
your character's power MMO RPGs are
8:44
everywhere these days so what makes Corp
8:47
Punk really stand out first the fog of
8:49
War system creates a layer of tension
8:51
and excitement that's missing from most
8:53
modern games when you see something dark
8:56
past in the distance but can't quite
8:58
track it down or you stumble into a wolf
9:00
pack you didn't see coming it changes
9:02
the way you explore it even impacts PVP
9:05
where players can hide evade or ambush
9:08
in ways that feels truly strategic
9:10
second cor Punk's humor and mature
9:13
themes are unlike anything else in the
9:15
genre with over 350 fully voiced quests
9:18
you'll find yourself helping a pot
9:20
dealer who smoked all of his Supply or a
9:22
gim bro on a yoga trip it's dark cheeky
9:26
and refreshingly modern for an MMO RPG
9:29
cor Punk's episodic Quest system
9:31
introduced his new content over time
9:33
keeping the world Dynamic and fresh
9:35
interestingly 60% of the game's focus is
9:38
on endgame content with the other 40%
9:41
dedicated to slowly building towards it
9:43
this design gives players something
9:45
meaningful to aim for and ensures the
9:47
grind is worth it lastly Corp Punk's
9:50
aesthetic Blends MMO RPG Nostalgia with
9:53
steampunk cyber Punk and fantasy
9:56
influences it feels familiar yet fresh
9:59
ax of classic open world Vibes with
10:01
modern-day topics and layered
10:03
environments overall c punk has exceeded
10:06
my expectations I'm not usually a big
10:08
fan of MMO RPGs that are modern with
10:10
guns I like the old swords bows and
10:13
Magic but cor Punk Blends the nostalgic
10:16
feel of classic MMO RPGs with modern
10:18
Innovative mechanics the fog of War
10:21
system makes exploring exciting and
10:23
rewarding the combat feels strategic and
10:26
engaging the game's humor gives it a
10:28
personality all its own core Punk isn't
10:31
without its challenges progression is
10:33
slower paced and requires attention to
10:35
detail quests can take time to complete
10:39
specific materials often require
10:41
significant effort to gather leveling up
10:43
and mastering weapons is a slow burn and
10:46
fighting enemies at your level
10:48
especially in groups can be a real test
10:50
of strategy but this is part of the
10:52
charm the slow buildup feels rewarding
10:55
and the game's depth and challenge keeps
10:57
you hooked I'm looking forward to to
10:59
diving back in on launch day and seeing
11:01
how cor Punk evolves over time for me it
11:04
