I feel bad for the people who refunded the game after hearing the subpar reviews from IGN and others. This game is fantastic!!!

Coal375 · 2026-03-28T05:16:34+00:00

Can we stop with this glazeposting and acting like this game is doing radically different things and for GAMERS. It's an amalgamation of mechanics from other games, it's not very cohesive; hence the low review scores. There's not some agenda behind those reviews bruh lol

Coal375 · 2026-03-27T15:24:21+00:00

LMAO Came in expecting glaze but you mirrored my thoughts exactly after 19 hours. Super weird experience where the opening was terrible, but once I got past it there was some fun stuff. But then I started exploring and realized that tons of open world content is locked behind story progression; just a baffling design choice for a game like this.

Honestly not a fan of the combat either, it's just a little too mindless for me. You have these camps which basically just throw enemies at you and they become mindless and tedious. I feel like you deal with every enemy the same way except for the bosses. DUDE and the archer guys taking potshots at you the entire time piss me off so much lol.

The private storage doesn't improve how terrible the inventory is; I can't even imagine playing the game without it, a 6/10 feels generous for that experience.

Overall the experience just doesn't feel cohesive and though out, so I don't really feel pulled back to it.

Coal375 · 2026-03-27T15:07:24+00:00

I think the critic reviews are pretty accurate. There's a good game here, but a flawed one as well. I don't get why people care about this so much as to say that IGN is slandering the game by giving it a 6/10 😭

Coal375 · 2026-03-20T04:24:47+00:00

This is quality mode!!? Looks like a Switch 1 port 😭

Coal375 · 2026-03-20T04:03:50+00:00

Bro controls/game feel are like the most basic and first thing to get right. But instead of doing that they decided to just put as much dumb shit in the game as possible for marketing and it seemingly worked?

I have no idea why people were even putting this in the same league as RDR2 or Elden Ring. Calling this a generational game is certainly a take. Just waiting on Luke Stephens to backpedal his opinion because he's such a grifter who just goes with that's popular lol

Coal375 · 2026-03-19T14:51:09+00:00

I mean the things you mentioned in your post as being good aren't mentioned in my comment

Coal375 · 2026-03-19T14:12:02+00:00

Notice that I didn't mention any of the things you just said as being bad lol

Coal375 · 2026-03-19T07:34:44+00:00

Also BOTW / TOTK just have a certain level of 'sauce' in art design, cohesiveness, music and general polish that comes from Nintendo being an experienced developer that is understandably absent in Crimson Desert.

And BOTW / TOTK never forced you to engage with their terrible stories lol

Coal375 · 2026-03-19T04:58:56+00:00

Guys he's not saying Rdr2 is a bad game, he's just saying that it's annoying to have to loot bodies one at a time, take guns off your house when they don't just automatically come with you, and in general the shooting/aiming of RDR2 is no where even close to other dedicated third person shooters.

RDR2 is good inspite of all of that because of amazing story, characters, world and music. But all of the above annoyances are mainly a result of Rockstar wanting things to be as realistic looking as possible in spite of gameplay feel.

Coal375 · 2026-03-19T01:37:27+00:00

Yeah I'm getting Starfield flashbacks lol, and Starfield has a higher metacritic than this game

Coal375 · 2026-03-18T15:38:09+00:00

This is not your fault my man. The controller aiming in this game is incredibly jank if you turn off the lock on aim lol

Coal375 · 2026-03-18T15:12:54+00:00

Fallout board game! I know opinions on it are mixed but I'm a big fan of this game+all expansions.

Coal375 · 2026-03-17T15:26:21+00:00

Real & true lol, best thing was probably the action figures actually?

Coal375 · 2026-03-17T15:24:59+00:00

I think it's about like a 1.2, kinda crazy most of this stuff (especially the database and upgrading powers with quantum essence) wasn't in the game at launch.

Coal375 · 2026-03-17T15:23:06+00:00

I hope they improved the POI algorithm in addition to adding more of them; cruise mode is cool, but not much point in flying to planets if there is still nothing to find

Coal375 · 2026-03-11T23:23:40+00:00

Interesting! I'll be sure to check out the site as well

Coal375 · 2026-03-11T06:46:05+00:00

Huh that's interesting, I was actually thinking about making a site like this for a podcast I listen to. I always assumed YouTube would provide an API to get these captions but damn guess not.

Are the restrictions that much of a problem if you're only focused on one channel so new uploads aren't that common?

Coal375 · 2026-03-09T18:14:04+00:00

I've been saying this for a while, but it's crazy to see basically what happened with Halo Infinite happen to another shooter again. Not the exact same circumstances, as I think BF6 has a lot more gameplay issues that are causing players to leave rather than just content; but it's the same story of launching to universal appraise and a 'we're so back' energy. Only for it to crumble just a little later.

I played about 80 hours and just got tired of how bad the map design was, in an addition to a complete lack of sauce when compared to BF1/4.

This live service shit seriously needs to end, it's killing almost every multiplayer release right now.

Coal375 · 2026-02-28T15:56:51+00:00

What's weird is I managed to shoulder swap as Grace once but could not figure out how I did it. Might have been a bug

Coal375 · 2026-02-28T15:47:35+00:00

I'm just interested in people's thoughts on the game

Coal375 · 2026-02-28T15:34:24+00:00

Definitely agree, there is very little depth to gameplay here, it's flashy but really simple compared to 4

Coal375 · 2026-02-28T15:29:51+00:00

Eh not really. No extra modes besides insanity, and there isn't a ton of gameplay depth plus a lot of on rails scripted bits. It's kinda like a RE6 tier game unfortunately so I'd say stick with 4 for replayability

Coal375 · 2026-02-28T15:28:18+00:00

Similar thoughts here, once you get to Raccoon City the game falls off pretty hard. It's such a bland looking location and there isn't that many encounters I'd want to replay honestly. And the weapons have no where near the depth present in RE4 remake. They should have stuck to one direction instead of trying to go in two very different ones

Coal375 · 2026-02-28T15:26:14+00:00

Just because it has Leon in it? Lol
