OUT NOW Crimson Desert

Added to Calendar: 03-19-26

I havent bought this yet, but I still plan to eventually. I figured there would be some negativity when it was released which is unfortunate, but I do like that they are listening to the feedback and making patches quickly.

Would be cool if in the near future they have some kind of online co op as it was originally gonna be an MMO.

They're definitely listening to feedback and patching quickly. The one they released over the weekend addressed a number of inventory and ui complaints and improving the stamina usage. I've been enjoying the game in general even w/ the issues I encountered up to this point. There's so much to do in the game that I'm constantly learning and finding new ways to approach situations. For example, I went from getting one-shotted by a boss to knocking down a tree, picking it up and one-shotting the boss with the tree...lol. And I can't overstate how the lack of hand holding adds to the experience. Some of the puzzle solutions are diabolical....like who thought of this shit and how long did it take mfs to figure it out.
 
Think of it this way



If a nigga randomly gave you wings (pause) and threw you off a ledge, you think a fuckin tutorial would pop out of the sky like “look nigga, if you want to elevate, hold r2 and if you wanna go faster, press x”


Be for real. You’d have to rely on instincts and figuring out how it work and the limitations of it on the fly. Niggas done got too used to these games holding their hand and babying them thru. It’s ok to fail and figure shit out….if you got time.

Overall, crimson desert sounds like the type of game I want to play but don’t have the time to invest in all of its systems/mechanics and world
Did you really have to pause a nigga giving niggas wings though😂😂😂
 
It definitely feels like that’s what it was supposed to be. Like a dragons dogma made by rock star games.
Interesting you said made by rock star games, because I thought a gta online type of online addition to this game would be a good look. Just off what ive seen online so far about the game
 
Its funny how there is a whole defense force for this game LOL. Clearly there are issues with the game and them saying they are going to fix the controls tells you that. The internet hyped this game and are now mad that reviews are not higher (even though it has a good metacritic score and the user score is almost equal) and crashing out.

The reason this game looks like a mixer of many games is because the devs admitted that management kept telling to add things that were popular on other games. This was also supposed to be an MMO which explains the lack of mains story. This is why I had it on wait and see because trailers are supposed to look good. In essence the game has no real direction or structure.

I thought the combat was at least going to deliver, but from the people playing I seen and commentary the combat falls short. Not saying this is a bad game, but its not really an RPG and most are saying its a waste of time as the content is not interesting and neither is the story. There are also poorly designed mechanics.

I watched a guy struggle for damn near an hour on t hat arm wrestling quest LOL. So I will pass, not what I was expecting it to be. Riding a dragon and wolf are cool features, but not enough for me to sink hours into a game that is a HUGE nothing burger of time sink and you can not even skip the cut-scenes

Holdup! I just learned that you have to go through several steps to talk to a merchant (look directly at them, then hold down X). What? ROFL!


I really feel like the defenders are the same folks who hate Assassins Creed (understandable) calls games woke and etc

Yeah its some of them or the people that bash Western/AAA games all day on the internet which they obviously do not even play games. They are tying to make this game a hero of the anti-woke side of the culture war. These type of people ruin entertainment.

Finally got my internet all setup and this game downloaded I wasn’t a day one player but they’re pushing the updates out quick and plays amazing on the pro (never bother trying it on the non pro but I might if I get bored). Open world is pretty dope, game starts off slow but after a few hours picks up. The buttons config are still ehhh… Idk how many times I keep jumping instead of picking up whatever item, reminds me of a mix between assassins creed/age of empire 😂.!
 
The patches got the game humming right now. More storage, simplified ui and controls, general balancing updates....yeah glad I didn't abandon it after some of the go-live issues. I still don't feel like I've put a dent in the game at all...only got 2 achievements and a shitload of undiscovered map after all the time I've put in.
