HG: Lordran is a harsh realm. Its introduction involves escaping a crumbling asylum guarded by a militant, bariatric demon. From there a mammoth crow carries you to Firelink Shrine miles away, leaving you in an unforgiving environment without a clue as to where you should head.

MMOculture: Back in 2014, I attended ChinaJoy 2014 and managed to have a chat with the Director of Overseas Business of South Korea developer, PearlAbyss. I was lucky enough to find out and report that Daum Games, the gaming arm of Korean giant Daum Communications, will not just be publishing Black Desert in South Korea, but for the Western markets (North America and Europe) as well. Fast forward a year later, Daum Games Europe is born, and the team is now working to localize Black Desert for the anxious Western gamers. I managed to get hold of Oli, Community Manager of Daum Games Europe, to find out more about the company, and information about the games progress. Note that I avoided questions related to in-game content, as Black Desert still being worked on.

GR: The Souls games are often thrown around as a key source of inspiration, but a few games have tried to copy them to such a degree that the inspiration has almost reached a point of saturation. Thus, games like Necropolis still feel fresh and exciting because they take that Souls formula and transition it to different environments with various mechanical tweaks. Necropolis uses procedurally-generated content and weapon variety to help create its own identity while still establishing a sense of familiarity for action-RPG fans. It is one of the best games at PAX Prime this year.
