Fully agree with Mack. As with books, movies, and comics, the first two hours of a game are critical. If devs can't be bothered to make it interesting, players won't bother with the rest. Still mad I spent 70 bucks on this trash instead of seeing Project Hail Mary.

@_Deez_Games I was open to giving it a chance but I just refunded largely due to the controls being absolutely atrocious. Also why are people gassing up the visuals? It looks ok at best in some areas when not in motion. The TAA smearing and shimmering feels particularly horrible in this one.

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.

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.

@ItsNewYokio I'm heavily contemplating refunding it, I'm right at the 2 hour mark. It's one of those games that I want to like but calling it clunky is an understatement.

There’s a reason I do not play online fps games. I decided to try Overwatch because there is a cat character. Tell me why, while I’m still brand new, I get matched with people 30+ levels higher and then they start bullying me in chat for not knowing how to play yet.

In ‘INVINCIBLE’, the Viltrumites responded to a devastating plague by discarding their infected dead into space, ruthlessly eliminating any trace of weakness. Over time, the sheer number of bodies formed a haunting ring around their planet, resembling Saturn.

@rahsh33m I like how on one side we have people downing raw milk (me) and on the other side we have people washing their salad with soap.

@turtlekiosk google fonts has a better selection these days than it used to I had almost resigned myself to being basic and using montserrat but then I found IBM plex sans and ended up going with that for my app

i wish fonts didnt cost $100000000 to use legally so if you use one in an app you're basically forced to use Inter or something on google fonts or nothing at all
