Crimson Desert first impressions: ✅️ Visuals - Stunning ✅️ world feels fully alive. Hustle and bustle in towns, everyone talking, everyone reacting - all very cool 😒 Combat - Fine, serviceable ❌️ Story & Characters - totally uninspiring and basic. Every conversation so far has been dull and emotionless, though I do enjoy how homo-erotic it all is 😂 ❌️ Controls - Messy. L1 + Square to jump? Guy runs like a mental patient. Radial menus not great, finicky. Nothing feels intuitive, like holding start and using d-pad to use quick menu ❌️ Learning things is a nice idea, just not a fan of standing still & staring at everything for 3 seconds to do so So far I'm feeling quite... meh, about it. I'll play more of course but I'm not excited to do so. I feel like the real enjoyment will kick in once the traversal options set in, like dragons and jetpacks. I'm only a few hours in, so hopefully it picks up soon, but it currently feels like a visually and mechanically impressive, but boring, updated Skyrim.

10 hours into Crimson Desert and i might be done. The story is quite lterally just Jon Snow from Game of Thrones. It's so shallow and hard to be enthused by. You die, you come back to life, you build yourself back up in the north. You're guided by the white crow, you get a black crow ability, the first boss is King Joffrey... It's a shell of a game. There's very little real, fleshed out content and seriously the worst controls I've ever experienced in a videogame. It does a few things really well, but does loads of things badly. I want to persevere but really can't decide if it's worth it or not.

The best email Ole Miss' AD got during the Lane Kiffin-LSU saga was this screed demanding he get to keep coaching. Was it written by a Florida screened-in-patio magnate? Did he cc his wife on the tirade? Did he sign it Disgusted? This is college football. Of course he did
