@TheToonKn1ght @GermanStrands You had an attention span of at least 10 minutes to learn the controls. Many people don't have that ability these day.

@GermanStrands I’ve been enjoying the game so far controls and all. Idk what everyone else is complaining for

Just sitting down and enjoying the view in Crimson Desert.

@viiskb @Beat_Rev @Grummz Yet the controller bindings are even worse lol.

@Beat_Rev @Grummz They expected everyone on PC to play with a gamepad. It was said when you first started the game.

Crimson Desert Patched! - Storage added to Howling Hill - Some improvements to keyboard/mouse (will continue to improve moving forward). Additional Notes: - Hotkeys! *(thank goodness) Inventory: [I] Skills: [K] Journal: [J] Map: [M] - More Nexuses added (waypoints) - Visione will automatically be equipped and play after reading memory fragments with lantern (GOOD FIX). - UI responsiveness improved. - Jump responsiveness improved. - Character movement responsiveness improved. There are a TON of fixes. They seem to be working very hard.

@DNNSBRKR @BamBammGaming @CrimsonDesert_ For me the controller is much more awkward to use so I don't really understand why people say it is a controller game.

@BamBammGaming @CrimsonDesert_ It's a controller first kind of game when it comes to controls. The K+M inputs are pretty all over the place, but it makes more sense on controller. It's a lot of combination inputs, so it's hard to remember everything, but much more intuitive than Keyboard.

#CrimsonDesert patch Version 1.00.03 is rolling out. This patch includes some of the improvements and fixes we were able to prepare first, including changes based on your feedback, like the addition of a Storage at Howling Hill and the beginning of improvements to keyboard and mouse controls. Version 1.00.03 is available for download on Steam. PlayStation, Xbox, EGS, and Mac will follow at a later time, and we'll provide an update in the notice below as soon as they're available. Read the patch notes here: pearlabyss.info/4sq1yEl We are continuing to review and improve various gameplay elements based on your feedback and will bring you more fixed and improvements in subsequent updates! Thank you once again for the feedback and support.

@Grummz It feels like bit of a rebound. Usually new games don't trend like this with their player counts.

Good morning. It's not even 8am and Crimson Desert is at 233,734 players. They might exceed their previous peak of 239,0435 very soon.

@AlexK321Pr @CrimsonDesert_ Valhalla is a terrible game though

We would like to address questions regarding the use of AI in Crimson Desert. During development, some 2D visual props were created as part of early-stage iteration using experimental AI generative tools. These assets helped us rapidly explore tone and atmosphere in the earlier phases of production. However, our intention has always been for any such assets to be replaced, following final work and review by our art and development teams, with work that aligned with our quality standards and creative direction. Following reports from our community, we have identified that some of these assets were unintentionally included in the final release. This is not in line with our internal standards, and we take full responsibility for it. We also acknowledge that we should have clearly disclosed our use of AI. While these tools were primarily used during early production, with the expectation that these assets would be replaced prior to release, we recognize that this does not excuse the lack of transparency. We sincerely apologize for these oversights. We are currently conducting a comprehensive audit of all in-game assets and are taking steps to replace any affected content. Updated assets will be rolled out in upcoming patches. In parallel, we are reviewing and strengthening our internal processes to ensure greater transparency and consistency in how we communicate with players moving forward.

@KorolkovArseniy @Grummz The marketing never even painted it as anything else if you paid attention, it turned out exactly as they showed it lol. Some people just somehow decided it was going to be something it was never trying to be.

@Grummz To be fair, I genuinely believe that Crimson Desert is the greatest 7/10 game in the world. I think the marketing team just did too good of a job marketing the game. It was never going to live up to the hype they created, especially with all the glaring issues the game has.

This has been known for years. It’s public info.

@Sir_Dammed @tgt6617 @JGODYT @pebbrocks @dislao_born @D3adshot23 They will somehow find an issue with this but not in slaughtering thousands of humans in game. Always makes me laugh.

@tgt6617 @JGODYT @pebbrocks @dislao_born @D3adshot23 Yeah you guys are retarded. It's pixels on a screen - meaning they're not real. The video was a demonstration of how powerful the different ELEMENTS (i.e. wind, fire, ice, lightning) are. He didn't share the video and say, "hur hur look how fun killing elephants is"

Elements in Crimson Desert are a Game Changer

@MQueefParody @Grummz Literally Rockstar sprint

@Grummz The corporate shill is fine with AC Shadows but cries about having to tap a button to sprint here while other games have it as well. This is what happens when a corporate bootlicker doesnt get sponsored

Crimson Desert is enjoying good Saturday numbers.

@TWyvern20477 @KhetBurnell747 The bigger problem is that he hates gaming.

@KhetBurnell747 The game requires mmo style grinding to get through the tough fights, DSP is just lazy

I watched a guy on YouTube beat the Crimson Desert excavation boss in under four minutes. His health bar was twice the size of DSP's. He also had food in his inventory to top up his health when it got low. DSP is useless without yellow paint.

@GamingSinceNES Yea. I put it to 0% first, thinking that it would get rid of the acceleration, as you would expect. But 100% is actually no acceleration.

The single best move I've done in Crimson Desert to have a more responsive feel was to change the Camera Acceleration to 100% 🙃

@The_Seraph666 @Grummz First person shooter with a dude with a gun on the cover.

@Grummz Isn't it a fairly standard setup?

The "stop complaining about games" crowd is having a really hard time with Crimson Desert.

@tjones12341 @xboxBG Just hit the enemy and they die. Every game is boring.

@xboxBG The combat is so fucking boring and unrewarding. Just hold RB and clear 12 dudes easy

Molly whoping Dudes with nothing but Pro Wrestling Moves 😂 This game is fun

@kylegeorg @Grummz But that makes it more limiting in general.

@Namesiithe2nd @Grummz It could easily be simplified - have a tool/item usage wheel, and a single interact button to activate

The hardest puzzle in Crimson Desert is the controls. RPG controls are a solved problem in games, it shouldn't be this awkward. Nearly 6 hours in, finished First part and a bunch of exploring. Feeling pulled in, the world is vast.

@kylegeorg @Grummz I think there is room for more streamlining. But there are so many actions that it realistically will always be complicated to start with.

@Grummz Why would they make the controls so complicated and non-intuitive? Who honestly designed this?

@macchietta5 @AC_assettocorsa You wanted to wait 6 months instead?

@AC_assettocorsa Seriously 2 month waiting for sebring? 🤣

The Ferrari 288 GTO, one of the most iconic cars ever produced in Maranello, has been the first Ferrari to introduce the twin-turbo V8 engine and the use of composite materials in road cars. It will be featured in the upcoming 0.6 release of Assetto Corsa Evo, alongside five other cars and a new circuit. #ACEVO #assettocorsa #WeAreSimRacing

@TheOperativeX @NikTek Physics are largely a forgotten thing in modern games though.

@NikTek Game is so boring we have to glaze the physics now. Gamers do really consume anything these days.

Small detail from Crimson Desert #1 There is surprisingly a ton of objects that you can destroy in this game and the destruction physics themselves are insanely good!

@Bucky_cm @imakwolf Is there a way to disable the inertia the camera has. It makes the mouse feel quite bad.

@imakwolf Some rebinds are a must, alt for dodge roll is bonkers, but other than that it feels pretty good. To be fair though, I’ve played a fair bit of BDO and other Korean mmos so I’m used to wacky keybindings.

Clocked 7hrs in Crimson Desert today, mostly goofing around not doing the story. This game is made for me. Totally understand all the criticisms, and I agree that the game is not for everyone but… This is my dream game. Loving it. Will update thoughts after the weekend.

@Icaozz @YellowFlashGuy That is if it is a Japanese studio that the western games journo cabal already has influence over. It isn't specifically about Korea, but they are afraid of these Asian studios entering the western triple A space because they feel they can't control them.

@YellowFlashGuy It is rated low solely for the reason it's a Korean studio. We all know it, if it was Western or Japanese it would've been a 9

Probably not enough Gay Black Women in the game for IGN.

@KindredBlade Days Gone being that low is criminal. While Spider-Man 2 gets a 90? Actually worthless scores.

Friendly reminder that even if a game doesn't get the highest score from critics, it's not the end of the world. So, if you want to play Crimson Desert, then do it even if it is rated 78. Here are some examples of how the opinion of players and critics can be vastly different.

@FinalFantasyCJ @JakeBaldino Skyrim is another great example. Garbage story with completely meaningless characters and people love it.

@JakeBaldino Elden Ring had zero story and its called a masterpiece

CRIMSON DESERT starts rough. I honestly disliked the first 8 hrs. Once it opens up and you get more power + abilities, it's a TON of fun. So many gameplay systems but they don't feel cynical or half-baked. I wish there was a better story but combat/exploration hooked me 1/2
