@2099gaming It's no wonder this is the literal dumbest generation in over 50 years. There are prompts telling you exactly what to do there.

LMAAAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOO

@kidsmoove Yep this game is definitely going to filter some stupid people.

What kind of dumb mechanic is this bullshit ?

@NikTek 4 hours in I am really looking forward to playing more. Loving it so far.

Crimson Desert first impressions. The Open World is massive, it feels alive and it definitely holds up to my expectations when it comes to visuals. I know some reviewers have said the game takes up to 8 hours before it gets good but honestly I immediately fell in love with it and immediately started exploring. I found the puzzles and combat awesome to play with, once you get used to the controls which feel overwhelming at first, especially remembering all of them which can be a hassle first. The main protagonist Cliff hasn't clicked with me yet, right now I feel like he's just confused and there's not so much depth that he offers, I hope that will change as I progress through the story. The story itself and quests are quite interesting and I've actually had a good laugh in the beginning of the game when you have to help a couple struggling to clean the chimney. There are definitely some issues though, I feel like the starting stamina drains too quickly especially if you're using your wings to fly, if you run out of stamina while flying and fall into waters, Cliff will almost immediately drown because the Stamina bar is empty. I haven't encountered any bugs, crashes or stutters as of yet, however there are some ghosting issues when you enter buildings which can be quite distracting. Ray Regeneration on AMD GPUs tanks the performance so I just turned it off completely and instead I'm playing on Ultra Settings, which is a bummer because that tech looked very promising and made quite the difference when it came to visuals. Another weird issue that I had is trying to enter some doors or starting conversations with story character, the button to initiate the conversation wouldn't appear unless I went away and came back to a specific position before starting it. Some other issues include pop-in issues, camera movement and double NPCs with the same voice-lines if you greet them. Overall I think its a good start to a video-game that is quite massive in scale, there are still many things that I'll have to do and progress through before I give a conclusive opinion in this game.

Leaving it here tonight because I have to go to sleep, even though I don't want to stop. The way this is going I'm for sure putting hundreds of hours into it.

@Icewallowcumin Yeah combat has been fun. Other than targeting objects and NPCS, I have no idea why people are finding the controls bad... people can't remember more than 4 inputs? I can see already that I'll easily put hundreds of hours on this.

Combat feels amazing, idk what some reviewers even talking about?? The animations are super smooth too. So far this feels like a much more fun to play Dragon's Dogma #PS5Share, #CrimsonDesert

@SophiaNarwitz I'm really enjoying it!

Pushing the start of my Crimson Desert review playthrough stream by a single day.

@MischiefsYT 4 Hours in and the more I play the less I want to stop playing.

It's now 2am and I'm having to force myself to go to sleep instead of pulling an all nighter to play more Crimson Desert.

@malphier I am really having a great experience the first 4 hours and it just keeps getting better.

You should play Crimson Desert if you really like the pacing and exploration aspects of Red Dead Redemption 2. Just don't go expecting the same narrative focus. It has none. If you're the type of person who likes to play RDR2 for the exploration, if you like to "live in the world" and take it slow, like those people who do jobs, hunt, bounties and stuff and take their time, if you like to greet people on the streets and you intentionally walk slowly just to act like a normal person, you're gonna have a blast with the game.

Alright, first 4 hours with Crimson Desert have been very fun. What's interesting is the more I play and the more the game opens up, the more I want to keep playing. Controls (with controller) are fine. Performance on PC is great. Only issue for me is targetting objects.

@Colteastwood A LOT of games released on Xbox PC App release broken and unplayable for at least a few days. I have no idea what they're doing over there. Literally cannot boot them most of the time.

Refunded Crimson Desert on Xbox PC App. Refuses to launch, no matter what I do. Xbox SEVERELY needs to fix their Xbox PC app if they are moving to Helix.

Moment of truth!

@BloodWenchLN It killed the franchise, and it was terrible. Fans will be angry about it forever

Are we really still barking about Veilguard on big 2026?

@lofi_lover0930 This game isn't "owning the chuds" as he put it, so I guess his interest is pretty low on this one.

"Feels like a game designed for people who just want to Consume Content.” Can anybody please translate the opinion of Jason Schreier about Crimson Desert because I don't understand how this is a negative Every game has content to consume & play Sandbox games are all about that

Daniel got important clarifications from NVIDIA. TLDR: the "DLSS5 skeptical" were right about *everything*. 1⃣ It's a 2D AI Filter. Input is only color buffer & motion vectors. The model doesn't see geometry, lights, PBR properties, normals, anything🧵 youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s

@opinali Every video they showed was slowly walking through a plain environment. Or slowly panning over an environment. Or a straight front-facing shot of a model with no or minimal movement. No action shots, no running, no fast-moving camera.

It can't even handle any fast moving object wells, but to be fair I don't know if those catastrophic frames in the FIFA demo should be blamed on the upscaler, FG, or the new AI filter. All of them have trouble with big disocclusions and very fast things. AI is not magic.

@opinali Oh wow so what our eyes can see is exactly what's happening? shocker.

@Qwik @digitalfoundry This is Mike "We should put ads in games where we ask for monetary tips" Ybarra. Now leading a gambling company. Mike "We ran Blizzard into the center of the earth after it was on the ground" Ybarra.

@digitalfoundry The bigger problem you have is John saying he hates AI and everything about it. How can DF not be bias if that's stated so clearly then you post this? You did your initial reactions and it was excited. Don't apologize or play to the angry mob because of that.

@JeremyPenter Your review was fair, informative and insightful as always.

lol First dm legit cracked me up about Crimson Desert. HERE WE GO "You are a piece of shit you fuck. I know the game is good. I won't subscribe unless you die"

Same day x.com/Kotaku/status/…

The future of the industry, at least when it comes to AAA, has never been bleaker. Publishers that don't care about their devs, journalists that are completely disconnected from the audience, and tech "experts" who glaze AI.
