@JurassicRabbit Theres two day one patches, seems like they made some major changes with them

they added a fast travel point in town with the day one patch lol oh my goddddddd. The game you all are playing is NOT the one we did pre-release.

Finally playing Crimson Desert Excited to experience this game after all this wait, fingers crossed I end up enjoying it!

CD Projekt Red has confirmed that they will publish an "announced gaming project" in the coming quarters this year. This lines up with rumors that The Witcher 3 is getting a brand new expansion developed by Fool's Theory in September I really think this is happening y'all!

“My soldiers RAGE” Dawg…. Attack on Titan is PEAK 😭

@Abhiraj_Singh17 Its the 41st highest ever selling game on the Meta store, wonder what more Ubisoft expected lol

@SynthPotato Nexus didn't sell well sadly so a sequel was very hard to come by.

Such a shame they’ll never get a chance to make another game, really loved Assassin’s Creed Nexus and was hoping we’d see a sequel. A huge shame this industry is becoming so hostile to iterating on ideas that may have not completely worked first try

@LORDCOSMOERA Developed by Ubisoft Quebec, completely unrelated to Red Storm

The next gigantic open world RPG for 2026 is going to Fable This is definitely one of my most anticipated games of the year, the life simulator aspects of it with being able to affect every single NPC's life seemed mindblowing. Fingers crossed it ends up a fantastic game!

@luscielia If you're in no hurry, you could wait for my review!

@SynthPotato Still haven't made up my mind about getting it and this confuses me even more lmao

This is Exodus, a sci-fi single-player RPG inspired by Mass Effect: - Third person shooters focused on choices, exploration & combat - Choices matter - Time Dilation Mechanic: light-speed travel causes years to pass in the story - Releasing early 2027

@triplesixe Stellar Blade being at 81 blows my mind, that game is excellent

@SynthPotato So basically Stellar Blades score. Lol

@TheNCSmaster The reception to Lost Soul Aside was abysmal, miles worse than this one. It's hard to find a single person who actually liked that game, Crimson Desert is more divisive in a lot of YouTubers in particular seem to adore it

@SynthPotato Yeaaaaah I kinda had that feeling Something about the game always seemed a bit off Like I said very Lost Soul Aside esque

@CS11__ Reminds me of the reception to Wukong a lot, Where a host of reviewers gave it VERY high scores while the other half gave it low ones.

@SynthPotato It having 10/10’s and then 4.5’s is more interesting than anything else ngl

@PaulTassi Excited to see how I feel about it myself, knowing you liked it gives me confidence I'll enjoy it!

whatever man Metacritic's wrong lol

@kelskiYT Pretty much, the bugs are really a shame though

@SynthPotato So basically go into it expecting an incredible, deep sandbox driven exploration game and not a cinematic movie master piece

@CS11__ It seems like the biggest criticism from all the reviews is the bugs, even the most positive ones. I think that's what is holding it back from 80+ more than anything else

Honestly the reviews being so diverse is the most interesting part about Crimson Desert. Says way more about it than anything else. If it delivers in the EXTREMELY packed and fun action game category then i think it’ll do well. Nobody buying the game was excited by it’s story 😭

@IgorPS01 Agreed, Legacy of the Forge really felt like it could've been the last DLC, it ends with Henry in a really nice place Also I heard about the bugs at launch of this DLC, I had a flawless experience now though, assuming they patched it a ton

@SynthPotato I found that Legacy of the forge has more of an ending feeling, I also had a lot of bugs in mysteria Ecclesiae, to the point that by the ending it was no longer enjoyable, I made the plague mask and went to the catacombs where you are attacked by the two robbers, I killed them...

REVIEW: Kingdom Come Deliverance 2: Mysteria Ecclesiae DLC Mysteria Ecclesiae is KCD2's final hurrah as its last DLC, and I am glad to say it is excellent. This is a 6-8 hour long journey that is radically different from the rest of Kingdom Come 2, taking place entirely in Sedletz Monastery. Henry finds himself escoring a friend to the monastery and quickly gets tied up in a conspiracy involving a deadly plague, you are locked into this monastery for a bulk of this expansion so be sure to be prepared to focus only on this DLC for its entire runtime. Mysteria Ecclesiae feels like Warhorse is taking another stab at the first game's "A Needle In A Haystack" quest, which also took place entirely in a monastery and involved a ton of detective work, while I personally always found that quest a bit tedious, Mysteria Ecclesiae has clearly taken all the lessons learned from that quest and has crafted a tale that is genuinely thrilling to experience. There's a heavy focus on dialogue and stealth gameplay here, with combat being very rare. At a point, I ended up realizing that I hadn't done combat for so long that I almost forgot the controls. As with the rest of KCD2, the dialogue and writing is utterly fantastic. unravelling this mystery and who is behind it all slowly, piecing together clues and sneaking around the monastery never got boring, and its ultimate conclusion was one that I found thrilling. There's a couple of smaller side quests here but for the most part, this is a very focused DLC on a singular questline. It's different from DLC 2 Legacy of the Forge which focused on adding a ton of new side content to the Kuttenberg region, heavily expanding the endgame of KCD2. Personally, that's still my favorite DLC of the three, but Mysteria Ecclesiae is a close second. My one disappointment is that for KCD2's final DLC, it doesn't feel like its an "end" in any sense, Henry doesn't get a big final moment, and it doesn't tie into the main story's ending as well. I really wish Henry was given some form of send-off considering we probably won't see a KCD3 for another 5 years. FINAL VERDICT Overall, this DLC stands strongly as one of the best questlines that Warhorse has crafted. I highly recommend it if you want a thrilling mystery with a heavy focus on dialogue and stealth gameplay, which you probably already love if you're a fellow fan of KCD2 like me. Mysteria Ecclesiae - 9/10 - BUY

@kelskiYT From what I can tell: - Bugs, a lot of game breaking bugs - Puzzles are very confusing - Some didn't like the gameplay loop at all - Consensus is the story is not good + Open world is incredible + Visuals are amazing + Exploration is a great time

@SynthPotato I’m actually shocked it’s fairly varied amongst journalists. I wonder what their pros and cons are

Now at a score of 77

@falkor451 @TheIshikawaRin Luke Stepehens, ACG, Paul Tassi and MrMattyPlays

@SynthPotato @TheIshikawaRin Who are your fav btw? Just curious.
