@flipyfirst @PirateSoftware It was. Not for critics. For gamers

@PirateSoftware I agree with your take. I think this game is an also victim of getting too much hype. People were talking like this was going to be a generational game. It’s simply not. It was billed as a 9-10/10 game of the year potential. That was not delivered

Done with Crimson Desert for the time being until some updates go through. I really enjoyed the overall world setting and how much reward there was for exploring. Tons of secret areas and little bonuses all over the place. It really does feel great to find little caves hidden in rock walls or a chest with some wild item in a basement hidden in a hut. Bosses feel a bit weird where I was just bursting damage, getting smacked, then eating food mid-battle Skyrim Wheel of Cheese style. On some encounters full-screen tutorials popped up in the middle of the fight that really broke the flow of the game. I ended up beating Matthias, Hornsplitter, Reed Devil, Tenebrum, Kearush, and Excavatron. The controls directly led to me putting the game down for now. Multiple actions on the same input on controller make it feel like a rage game at times. For instance on the left joystick alone you have movement, crouch, and hook shot. This means if you accidentally press too hard in the middle of intense combat you hook-shot worthlessly into the ground. There doesn't seem to be a need for this at all. Really hoping they add native controller remapping so this isn't an issue anymore. The story felt weird as hell to me at first but then it clicked about 10 hours in. I approached this game as an Open World RPG but it feels more akin to an Open World Exploration game like No Mans Sky. When I made that connection my objectives and interactions felt like they made a ton more sense and the game felt better overall. I think this is more an issue of perception than it is anything wrong with the game. For the price I would say that no game is worth $70 regardless of how amazing or prestigious it is. Games need to be affordable and with the amount of economic turmoil right now prices in excess of $60 USD don't make a lot of sense. This directly prices out many people in countries like Australia, Brazil, Poland, New Zealand, and Canada at the same time due to currency conversion rates. Most of my viewers were saying they refuse to buy it until it's on sale as a result. Overall I think the game is enjoyable and has a ton of potential. Little rough around the edges right now but nothing that can't be fixed with time and feedback. Regardless of how I feel I hope you are enjoying the game and it continues to improve with time.

@mislead What does the ability do

You can get this INSANE staff if you kill a very strong boss at this location, but worth it

@CoreyErgen I searched and explored this days ago! Saw the memory but never saw a cave. I will have to go back ty!

@JustinMarsh11 this is in the bay with the pirate ship. there is a cave next to this shipwreck and you can find the helmet on the ground.

Found this cool helmet in Crimson Desert I havent seen anyone post about. When you get hit and press dodge it creates a geyser that fucks people up. And its stylish 😂

@strahfe What how did you get that ability where there’s a giant dude behind you that slams down

Dual Wielding against Master Yoda in Crimson Desert

@WillJPowers Love to see this

I want to take a second and talk about a very important topic - in game credits. Games take a TON of people to make, and each roles adds something unique to the final product. For Crimson Desert, we equally credited everyone at the company, knowing everyone's work mattered.

@itsgriffithstar Thank you!

Vão nesse lugar, me agradeçam depois

@NikoMueller Which reputation specifically? Greymanes?

Review in progress: 🎮#CrimsonDesert If you raise your reputation enough Greymanes with all professions will join your camp including barbers and jewelers! 🔥 #XboxShare

@SynthPotato Doesn’t let me loot everything though

I’ve spent way too much time in Crimson Desert robbing houses for food I have over a hundred cooked foods at this point, I don’t think I am ever running out of heals in combat again😭

@Elesoterik @idonotexistelol Does she have special gear for her or any of cliffs armor

@idonotexistelol You will be forced to use her for a whole act later, put some gear on her atleast. Same for oongka You can make do without putting skills on her but gear kinda necessary

Just unlocked damiane, hot take I'm kinda not interested in a multi character type thing tbh. I don't think I'll be using her much

@ScragtheScav I can’t find the one you marked under that watchtower

Locations for a good set of armor and a bad ass cloak . #CrimsonDesert

@OfficiallyIce I ran right to his aren and skipped his minions

Man fuck the Reed Devil. On god.

@GHBSmith But they punish you for ranking them up! Takes away from Cliff

Been debating sharing this, but a warning for Crimson Desert players. You are forced to use both Oongka and Damiane toward the end of the story. Not a lot, but you will need to take down a boss with each. Not as hard as some of the other bosses, but best to prepare.

@Miketrub23 That’s how feel lmao

Already got 30 hours in Crimson Desert & haven’t done shit yet fr lol

@RealJtHolmes No it’s so addicting

I can't be the only one addicted to Crimson Desert!!

@IGN Check the Reddit. Players are absolutely raving about this game. Don’t be on the wrong side of gaming history

Some Crimson Desert players are puzzled by design choices like an endgame dragon with a 15 minute real-time time limit, and a 50 minute real-time cooldown that's impossible to speed up. bit.ly/4st7V9Z

@GHBSmith @unknownkid77rb Does it show up when you have “ALL” filtered?

@unknownkid77rb It's never explained. Why would the "Environment" tab on a map be useful? 😆 Right there with you man, I didn't notice it for quite some time either

The BEST mining spot I've found in all of Crimson Desert. This place includes: 4x Garnet 3x Copper 2x Azurite 3x Scolecite 3x Epidote And more... The biggest concentration of ores I've seen in one location so far.

@PaulTassi Lmfao

Honestly terrified to even say what I just realized I should have been doing at hour 135 of Crimson Desert may my embarrassment be your gain when you complete sealed abyss challenges you aren't automatically getting things, you have to go and manually open each glowing one....

@WillJPowers Are you guys going to release what’s in the day one patch notes? So sorry if it has been announced already. Can’t wait to play!!

I'll be jumping around from Twitch livestream to livestream saying hi to people streaming the game starting at 3p PT. Who's channel should I visit? 👀

@IGN You guys suck

Crimson Desert developer and publisher Pearl Abyss won’t show gameplay footage of the Xbox Series X and S version ahead of its March 19 release date. bit.ly/4sfkl5h
