Crimson Desert

IMO Crimson Desert has all the ingredients of a good game but they're not assembled well. Hopefully they learn from this title and find a way to incorporate a better storyline (think Witcher 3 or RDR2). There's a lot of potential here.

Man these devs are on top of the patching game. Pretty much all of the major complaints I've seen on r/crimsondesert are being addressed, and in such short time!

I'm interested in the background LOD increase. I'm curious if they'll improve the look of distant cities. Hernand City for example currently looks like N64 level graphics at a distance.
 
Idk, the graphics in CD look ok to me but it has a really weird look in general, though I have to say my exposure to the game just from watching youtube vids here and there. I just watched a comparison vid last night of CD to RDRII, in many instances I'd say Red Dead still has a better look to it.

The escort quests are awful. I had to redo one of them over and over because the dude would either get one-shot by a random enemy 20 minutes into the quest or he'd get stuck and I'd have to restart it. It was like a 400km trip from the town to the safe space and he won't get on the horse so I had to do it on foot. It was the first time that I thought, "I'm not enjoying this".

I know the one you're talking about. I was frustrated and ready to give up but then I looked up how to do it. He's supposed to get on your horse. He just takes fucking forever to get on your horse but once he does that the mission is stupid easy.
 
Player count on Steam is dropping, down to 150k peak for the past 24 hours.

In other news, water is wet. All games lose players after their initial release. Especially since so many people binge game these days and speedrun from one game to the next.

And this is a single player game. People generally play and move on. Concurrent player count is meaningless. Now it is true some games are very moddable and you'll have lots of people staying for years running up their hour count by installing mods or editing things. But that matters little if the game already sold well. Most games people play, uninstall, and maybe replay again in 3-7 years.

So what you're saying is all the people with traditional 9 to 5 jobs and social lives aren't playing a two week old game on a Friday afternoon?

There's a fucking shocker!

If the devs keep going the way they are I have a feeling this is going to have some extremely long legs for a single player game.
 
The details in the environment combined with HDR and ray tracing is just an amazing view.

Pretty sure windows snipping tool has HDR toggle option in the settings now.

Right but it still won't specifically show off how MY OLED panel displays the HDR. I could always just screen capture with Geforce Experience but I just wanted to show how the HDR looks on my particular OLED panel. I feel like looking at a screenshot and looking at the panel are 2 different things.

LOL! How true! Crimson desert is a game of constantly discovering new things. Best game I have played in a very long time. Damaging to things I should have done in real life, because its hard to quit playing. I have full time job and a life, but still clocked in about 86 hours in this game already.

How long did it take to click with you to where you felt fully immersed?
 
I might have to reinstall I gave up at the 1st Nexus puzzle. I didnt you could grapple stuff and move it around.
 
I was getting immersed almost as soon as I got out of the tutorial and into the open world. I'm about 90 hours in and it's still throwing new stuff at me quite often.

The combat has expanded a lot and there are a bunch of options; its fun but still feels really spammy. During normal battles I'm normally just holding RT+RB 90% of the time and during boss battles I'm holding LB to deflect and then RT+RB. Jumpkicks and Clothelines are cool but not very efficient compared to the Spinning Slash (RT+RB).

I ended up starting a new toon in Elden Ring so I could get some impactful combat.

From the beginning in my case, but that was because of my expectations. :)

I chose to play this game in front of a TV, on a "steam machine" with Bazzite and 8bitdo Ultimate 2 controller (Xbox style) and use wireless headset for full immersion. This is not a game IMHO you play to finish the game. Many call this Hernand instead of Crimson desert, because there is so much to do and the fun is to discover, not progress the story to complete the game as fast as possible. You spend so much time in Hernand that crimson desert feels far away in a DLC (I really hope this game gets a DLC before I finish it with more content to explore).

I treated this game as an exploration game. The story is good enough for this type of game. I get to know what my characters motivations are from the beginning (his tribe/faction) and get introduced to a more supernatural quest line my character gets recruited into. With this, I got thrown into the world and had to find out what happens next.
The world is beautiful, the music is top notch, quest cut scenes are acted out instead of a talking head telling a story with emotions and movements according to what they try to say. There are odd moments where there are pauses as if Kliff were supposed to say something in dialogue, but the developers did not add the dialogue, just the pause as placeholder.

Quests feels rewarding from the beginning, since they not only teach new mechanics, but gives inventory slots.

Puzzles feels rewarding to complete, since I need to observe, poke at different things and think to solve. Some I need an audio cue to find out if I did it correctly, some a visual clue and some just find the correct patterns. They put a lot of effort into the puzzles.

There are so many types of mechanics in this game and they dont feel random. Donate to the church and it gets rewarded to the dispatch missions from camp to that faction. Solve some side quests and things unlock. Gain favor at merchants and they will start supply your camp with items to buy. Create trade. Go fish and cook if that scratch your itch that day, food is health, stamina etc instead of potions. Upgrade gear, mix and match to get immunities.

I can go on for a long time, but my point is that this game scratches many itches and I discover more each time I play it.

But to enjoy it fully, I think its good to have the patience and the ability to observe the world around you. Poke at things, observe how to solve puzzles or how to beat a boss. Dont try to finish the game, because then you start to skip things just to speed things up. If boss or puzzle is hard, this game allows you to come back to it later. No rush.

And every time you try to go in one direction for a spesific purpouse, you fail, because on the road you discover "oh, shiny!" and you are off path doing something else ... :p

Nice, but settings like this should ALWAYS be in from the get go.

Holy hell… I just read through that whole list and so much of it is not only what the community has been asking for but even little things I’ve thought about wanting to see.

This game was honestly solid af on release and it just keeps getting better and better in a way I feel like we’ve never seen before. I logged off right before this update dropped at about 90 hours in and with every passing moment leading up to that I just enjoy it more and more.

Can’t wait to hop back in. Big fucking tip of the hat to Pearl Abyss.
 
Inevitable collateral damage when a patch this big comes out. Apparently legendary animals got bugged so they will have to hotfix that for people who went through the trouble to get any. They will do it. I am wondering if these people even sleep.
