@Tectone It’s simply just a mid game

Crimson Desert is a lot more fun when you stop listening to everyone telling you how fucking awful it is.

14 years ago today, Odd Future (@ofwgkta) dropped "Oldie"—one of their most iconic videos that almost didn't happen. It only did because @tylerthecreator refused to let anyone turn the camera off.⁠ ⁠ The members of the group told the story of that day in an oral history published by The Ringer in 2022. When Odd Future descended on Milk Studios in Chelsea, the session unraveled fast. The XXL staff "were understandably trying to contain a group of rowdy kids," Mike G recalled, "but we weren't having it."⁠ ⁠ Someone plugged in an iPhone, "Oldie" came through the speakers, and director Lance Bangs kept his camera rolling over objections from the room. The moment Tyler realized what was happening, he called the shots: "No, f*ck that, Lance, keep shooting this sh*t.” What followed was a single, unedited take of the entire 10-minute posse cut performed live.⁠ ⁠ For @earlxsweat, freshly back from Samoa and still finding his footing, the whole day had a surreal quality: "It just felt like a cartoon, in the sense that n****s just was doin' whatever they wanted to do." For Tyler, zooming out in real time, the stakes were clearer: “I’ve seen music documentaries, this might be the last time everyone's together so we need to document this."⁠ ⁠ He was right. "A f*ckin' balloon popped that night, and we all went in our own directions. That was the last time we was all together like that. Still,” Tyler explained. Frank, looking back, arrived at the same place: "The atmosphere reminds me of how it feels to be in a room full of musicians where everyone is improvising and for a brief period it's pure magic. It's the same rush."⁠ ⁠ Bangs edited the footage on a laptop during a red-eye to Portland. It now sits at over 56 million views. It cost nothing.⁠

@CultClassicCage And the game is a mid 😭

Crimson Desert got more support than you ponies showed returnal or astrobot oof 🤭

@GermanStrands It’s a good 7/10

Crimson Desert has sold 2 million copies.

This shit is indistinguishable from the last 15 years of assassins creed.

@GermanStrands 7.5/10 seems about right

in no freaking world is a game with this much attention to detail and ambition a 4.5/10

@FLEEKAZOID Twitter users didn’t keep that same energy for Metroid Prime 4

Finding out game journalists HATE Crimson Desert is probably the best news I’ve gotten today. Now I know it’ll be good.

@ZoieNolan4 @FLEEKAZOID To be fair Diablo would’ve got reviewed bombed regardless cause it’s made by Blizzard

@FLEEKAZOID Never trust a game journo

@NextGenNero 80-82 are great games and are the correct scores for all these games (Wukong should be around 75-78

Ima be honest. All these being 80-82 is criminal lol. All peak af. Go play these games and not steam charts & scores!

This is our indie game and he is the Main Character!

Drew Silent in magma today

@ToddSmi74841760 @hard8_times 81 is a great score and a fair score for Stellar Blade

@hard8_times Nope!Stellar Blade was giving a 81 score and I still play Stellar Blade so I don't believe everything Reviewers say 🤔

A week ago they was saying it's not guaranteed GTA VI would win GOTY because of Crimson Desert ummmm, y'all still feel that way 🤣🤣🤣

music can’t be this subjective man 😭

@iaosduji @iMMRhYsY @MightyKeef The retard blocked me LOL The entire point is that the souls games don’t hold your hand yet game journalists still loved them unlike CD

@iaosduji @iMMRhYsY @MightyKeef They are all well received by critics

77 isnt a bad metacritic score, but a lot lower than I thought Crimson Desert would get.

@jondelarroz @ManaByte You retards call anything you don’t like woke

@ManaByte Still woke

Suddenly people are going to love Starfield.

@BankaiSakaii Almost not even a difference what are you on about

Tenéis de hecho dos claros ejemplos asiáticos que la prensa criticó, que no supo comprender y acabaron siendo exitazos. Jueguen y luego juzguen.

@iMMRhYsY @MightyKeef But here’s another game that doesn’t hold your hand Game journalists seemed to like Elden Ring

@MightyKeef Apparently the game doesn’t hold your hand especially when it comes to puzzles so I’ll assume game journalist started crying when they realised it wasn’t a Ubisoft game lol

@GermanStrands Good but not great games? Probably

got that same feeling

@SmashJT Are all the mixed reviews wrong?

BREAKING IGN Scores Crimson Desert a 6/10 (Review in progress) This is the same outlet that gave: Dustborn a 7 Concord a 7 ...and Dragon Age the Veilguard a 9. Classic.
