@MightyKeef It's LATE game mostly, so I'm guessing you mainly mess with it 100+ hours in. There is stuff to do earlier, don't get me wrong, but like farming and stuff is much later.

In crimson desert there is a town management system that looked pretty in-depth. I haven’t seen any reviewer talk about it though lol.

@Deck_Ready Yes. I couldn't get it to boot on the Steam Deck, but it runs well on the Legion Go 2 on low with FSR.

Did anyone who got Crimson Desert early try it on a PC GAMING HANDHELD?

You can stack the powers of 5-6 weapons on a single build in Crimson Desert and let's just say the results are...crazy.

@TheSkinnyRage There is a photo mode. They added it like a week ago during the review process.

@LukeStephens So no photo mode??

My Crimson Desert Review (W.I.P.) TLDW: Crimson Desert is a game that fundamentally changes our perception of what is possible in the medium. Its open-world, exploration, and sheer scale all offer something that almost no other game has even attempted. It's NOT perfect: there are bugs, occasional quality dips, and its scope can sometimes leave ideas on the table for too long, but overall I'm thoroughly impressed. After 60+ hours I'm loving it. I think it will probably take me 120+ to roll credits and likely 300+ for a completionist run; even so, I cannot wait to see what else the game has tucked away for me to find and I'm actively playing it even while writing this pinned comment. It won't be for everyone, and I expect the game-journalist memes will FLOW considering its lack of hand-holding, but it's definitely for me. youtu.be/zytQQZVqdCQ

@LegacyKillaHD I predicted after the preview that this is one that game journalists will loathe. There is zero hand holding and even at the preview event I witnessed several journalists from big outlets getting stuck in the tutorial puzzle for 45 plus minutes...

Uhhh Is this going to be one of those games critics don't like it but users love it? These Crimson Desert review scores are not great so far... 🙃

The backpedaling begins. The simple fact of the matter is that BGS signed off on this, they were excited by it, and Todd even went so far as to go on camera saying they saw this "breathe life" into Starfield.

I knew Tonya was behind all this...

This is an impressive feat of technology. Sure. But it also looks like AI slop in its current form. Eventually, I'm sure it will get better, but all we can judge is what we see right now and what they chose to promote it with...

Lol, turns out all of the heads of these studios specifically endorsed it and Todd even filmed a dedicated video hyping it up.

Seriously though, game studios can't be happy about this either... Right?... This literally turns every game it touches into a crappy AI face filter mess. We need to see studios come out against this crap

You shouldn't be. Listen, I like DLSS. It's a marvel of modern computing. But this? This will make every game look like a crappy AI face filter was applied. It undermines all of the creative efforts of studios that work so hard designing characters and art. Actual abomination.

This is actually upsetting

Bruh it runs on a 1060... That's a 10 year old card from 2016, that's crazy

once again …

Great start to the morning with Team Xbox, where we talked about our commitment to the return of Xbox including Project Helix, the code name for our next generation console. Project Helix will lead in performance and play your Xbox and PC games. Looking forward to chatting about this more with partners and studios at my first GDC next week!
