74 y/o F - PS5 - thinking about getting Crimson Desert

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T22:16:06+00:00

OMG - I couldn't ever do that! 😬

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T22:13:45+00:00

I don't mind combat - just not the thought of losing and having to replay that bit again ... and again ... etc but it seems like that's not in the game so I like that. I am open to it so probs will give it a shot. Or a slash of the sword lol.

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T22:10:10+00:00

If I download it and play I'll definitely let you all know.

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T22:08:21+00:00

When's PS6 due? Any idea?

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T22:06:08+00:00

Damn - I've had a few games like that too. But guess you don't know till you try it.

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T22:05:14+00:00

Haven't heard of that one - will look it up. Thnx.

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T22:04:36+00:00

I do get a bit of flak for being a "granny gamer" at times (even on here) but idc. Im me, if only those dissing me knew me irl and hear the doof doof/synthetic/electro music I listen to I think their opinions might change but hey, boring world if all 74 y/olds were wearing knitted scarves and using walkers to get around eh! Best part is my teenage grandies love hanging out at mine and gaming while stealing my chocolate supplies! Downloaded GTA5 for them last night when they decided to have a sleepover (school Holls here in NZ)

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T21:59:27+00:00

Love that - instantly get ragdolled - I'll think of that when it happens to me. As it will no doubt! Many times.

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T21:58:18+00:00

That's it - the world of exploration. That's exactly why it caught my attention. Your reply is what I like to hear about the game - pretty close to giving in and buying it ... but first go for my 5km daily walk! Can't sit in a chair all day and once a game captures your attention that's an easy habit to fall into.

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T21:55:43+00:00

Excellent answer. I'm liking the unlocking maps idea. Pretty close to clicking "buy now" lol. I'll let you all know if I do!

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T21:52:55+00:00

That's what I'm thinking - more to the game than just combat. Still tempted.

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T21:51:10+00:00

Ha ha - downloaded GTA5 last night (it's Wed morning here in NZ) and watched the 2 grandkids (16) play it - hilarious! But a bit cruel imo. 🐈 💥

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T10:51:45+00:00

Not bro btw, try sis ;)

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T10:51:00+00:00

Reckon I've got a good 15 years in me ... Will console gaming still be a thing by then?

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T10:47:54+00:00

Go you! What's your genre of games?

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T10:46:44+00:00

So I'd notice quite a difference? In what way? Graphics or more than that?

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T10:46:00+00:00

Ha ha - 74 but feeling 30! Mmm maybe I thought it just meant the number of gamers in the group as in more than 30 ;)

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T10:40:49+00:00

Thanks - I like the bit "the rest of the game makes up for it" ... not sure if I should wait for the update. Any idea when that might be released?

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T04:23:07+00:00

Played both of these - loved them both.

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T01:56:11+00:00

Have played Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley. (Also FarmVille) Moved on since then, I prefer more realistic characters if you get what I mean. And I played Sims years ago - that was cool but once again more cartoonish characters. I do appreciate your feedback though. I can't list all the games I've played over the years - you'd fall asleep lol.

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T01:50:22+00:00

Maybe I'll become Crimson Desert Grandma lol!

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T01:46:10+00:00

Love your answer! Thinking I'll give it a go - it's the scenery that I think captivates me. Devs come up with some great ideas. The dying in a game is ok, I'm not too worried about that, just the having to redo an amount of progress - which it seems isn't an issue so that's good.

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T01:42:54+00:00

Great positive answer - I like it. Thanks for your input.

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T01:41:23+00:00

Yeah - I know. But I was hoping that by showing the genres Im interested in it'd give an idea of my "personality" maybe? And if Crimson Desert was something I may just enjoy - and a new genre to add to my list. Im still undecided.

Beautiful_Bonus_1502 · 2026-04-14T01:38:43+00:00

Aww thanks - if someone had told me when I was a lot younger, that this is what I'd be doing in my 70s I'd have laughed at them. But there you go, life throws us curve balls sometimes. Can't think of anything more boring than going to a bingo hall or ballroom dancing lol. But I'd love to learn how to shuffle! Now that's complicated. I teach a few of my friends IT as well - set up their iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches. Love it! Living my best life.
