@ymnis_v1 @K__Med youtu.be/c8Xesxq7vyg?si… This is the amazing water @dark1x : ) I’m joking man, but also not : )

@ymnis_v1 @K__Med So far.. it’s ass

apparently, they kept the story hidden pre launch because there’s no story to show. pros: - world is genuinely beautiful. - soundtrack is strong. - combat can be fun, especially boss fights. - a handful of side quest chains (mainly greymane stuff) actually have substance. - if you want a 80–100 hour “turn your brain off” game, it delivers. cons: - main story is disconnected filler stitched together. - you can play 40+ hours and nothing meaningful happens narratively. - NPCs are basically props. - quests are drip fed through menus instead of discovered organically. - heavy MMO DNA. fetch quests, bounties, repetition everywhere. - forced grinding via stat checks (boss fights). the game straight up stops you until you farm upgrades. - early game is extremely restricted despite the “freedom” marketing. - enemy variety is awful early on (you’re fighting the same bandits for tens of hours). - batshit padding (178 kill bandit camps, repeated objectives, respawns). - inventory system is almost broken level bad (can’t place items in storage, only remove, constant micromanagement). - side quests often aren’t even voiced properly. - many systems exist just to exist with no depth. - bosses are inconsistent. some great, some literal floating clouds. - pacing is terrible. the game hoards the good content and buries it under hours of filler. youtu.be/czQEIY1xpH4?si…

@ymnis_v1 @K__Med The waterfalls look like PS3 at best quality on PS5 Pro QUALITY setting with PSSR 2 😝 Everything is all wiggly from whack ass upscaling. The pop in is Pokemon Scarlet and Violet adjacent.

@imbratorX @CrimsonDesert_ Game is kinda ass man. Save up your allowance and buy it and see for yourself.

Journalists are literally doing the Place, Japan meme 💀 ✅ rich open world ✅ deep combat loop ✅ varied game side activites ✅ physics-driven emergent gameplay ❌ non-existent story ❌ tedious traversal padding Crimson Desert does it: bad. Zelda BOTW does it: good.

@GenePark @lofi_lover0930 So far CD is a joke. Like holy shit am I baffled by the glazers of this game. I’ll just hope @JakeBaldino was right and that after 8 hours it sucks less ass.

@lofi_lover0930 i’m gonna be real with you. i think they’re kinda the same. and hear me out: i love ac valhalla. also crimson does have better combat. but it also feels the same.

You're about to find out how wrong you are Crimson Desert same as Assassin's Creed Valhalla? Dawg not even close AC Valhalla wishes it's Crimson Desert Crimson Desert is WAY BETTER You're gonna learn that soon

@lofi_lover0930 Its worse so far. Much much worse

@VisualFidelity Brother FOMO is a bitch, and she’s back in heat

Convince me to buy Crimson Desert. I can't decide

@b0ysbrokenheart This shows how brain rotted gamers are. How the fuck did society produce morons this dumb? I bet people who think those scores are bad never had a 3.0 GPA ever. The 80 Metacritic score is BAD wreaks of people who had a 2.0 GPA through school.

Lies of P at 80 is actually criminal. Besides the level design it's practically flawless and on par with some of the best in the genre.

@HoegLaw Yup some care about glazing stuff they have never played others live in reality.

You can really see the difference in what certain gamers care about in the reviews for this one.

@chikocash Meanwhile a lot of journalists loved it. You sound like a little bitch. Are you a little bitch?

There are too many enemies to fight guys . I knew the "journalist" wouldn't like it . You have to press too many buttons and it is not souls like 😭

@TheSiaromm @InfaMissGoddess @Rurikhan Gamers are entitled little brats who get mad when people do not like a thing they have not even touched.

@InfaMissGoddess @Rurikhan I think looking at reviews is fine. There are a lot of good independent reviewers out there, and it's easy to figure out which ones are reliable and which ones are bad and should be ignored.

The discourse surrounding Crimson Desert after the reviews hit yesterday just showed me a lot of people just crave the social part of this hobby without actually wanting to engage in the hobby itself. I didn't have early access to this one, looking forward to jumping in later.

@Victor_Lucas Fucking lame

What did you think of the DLSS 5 reveal that NVIDIA did this week?

@Ramez05 Almost as if people have different opinions and entitled brat gamers can’t handle that. No one has more opinions on stuff they haven’t touched than incels and gamers.

Crimson Desert / Starfield comparison is kinda funny because journalists glazed the hell out of Starfield but actual gamers mostly found it mid 🤷‍♂️ General consensus seems to be that if you aren’t overly obsessed with narrative everything else is peak

@SpawnYaardReply Is the story of Elden Ring “Good”? I struggle with this. Especially when the English translator fucked up SO HARD with the Ranni Ending being utterly botched

Why are people saying Elden Ring doesn't have a good story or all Soulslike games don't have a story? You know stories are not just told through cut scenes, right?

@CountDankulaTV No it fucking wasn’t? Whynare Christians so dumb? Yeshua was a Jew who called for reforms to his religion, 300+ years after his death people changed his name and invented a cult. Look it up. Christianity was a Jewish sect turned cult in CE 313

Christianity was "invented" by Jesus Christ you literal fucking retard.

@DreamLeaf5 @jondelarroz Yes actually ; )

@jondelarroz Is beating your wife an inherently Christian and right-wing concept?

Spider-Man is an inherently Christian and right-wing concept. Modern Hollywood doesn't get it.

@JoshN_1999 The assumption is they only saw the score.

I don't get how people can be soooooooo excited for a game, see review scores (without checking what the reviews say) then decide to not buy the game... Mental

@PaulTassi A 78 is almost a B

This is the state of the industry, which shows why publishers are obsessed with metacritic scores and why a 78 is “bad”

@iTrap4TheHokage Nioh 3 doesn’t try to make the story a focus, Crimson Desert absolutely has way more story focus and it’s just bad. I’m guessing you have not played it hence you having a strong opinion on people who have played it’s opinions. Meanwhile the laundry list of cons don’t count 🤷‍♂️

Crimson desert getting hate for a bad a story is kinda funny, because nioh 3 story is hilariously bad but the gameplay is phenomenal Dmc story is ass but the gameplay and characters are fun Ninja gaiden story is atrocious but the gameplay is phenomenal I can go on

@GenePark I love that Gene likes the one NG that NG fans think is utter trash 😂🤣

since i don’t like crimson desert’s combat feel, people are asking what combat feel i enjoy and ninja gaiden 4 last year is a great example. classic platinum games in general. “Here comes the feeling”
