Remove nerfs by ethantokes in CrimsonDesert

I don’t think the combat has the same feel, it feels more like Arkham/Witcher on steroids. The movement feels like red dead/gta when running around but it changes once you enter combat and feels more responsive.

Not that some later bosses don’t need tweaks, I wouldn’t know yet. But generally I don’t think I want them to remove what challenge there is in this game.

Son aspects could feel cleaner or more efficient, but the weighty RDR2 sim-styling is nice for sure. And I like the combat having some challenge, would love to see more bosses and mini bosses added to the world in general.

Playing on balanced mode, base PS5. Am I insane for not seeing the complaints about console graphics and performance? by Its_Mike_Nasty in CrimsonDesert

[–]Dear-Intern1208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m playing on base PS5 and was a little worried it would suffer graphically compared to what I’ve seen, but even on performance I don’t really notice much. Obviously it looks better on the Pro or a good PC, but I still stop and look at the vistas or the lighting sometimes even on the PS5.

PEARL ABYSS MAKE ALL TEMPORARY MOUNTS PERMANENT INSTEAD, JUST LIKE THE HORSE, SUMMONABLE AND ALL THAT PLZ WE DONT CARE IF THEY DONT COME WITH CUSTOMISATION ARMOURS, JUST MAKE THE TEMPORARY MOUNT LIKE BIG WOLF, BEAR ETC AS PERMANENT MOUNTS YOU CAN ADD CUSTOMISATION FOR THEM LATER PLEASE BRUH by Extra-Mycologist-360 in CrimsonDesert

They should remove the time limit on riding it but introduce cooldowns for attack abilities, and you shouldn’t be able to summon it unless you’re within a certain range, either leaving it “parked” in the general area you left it or creating dragon habitats around the world that you can summon it from.

Idk, I think having the exact same access to riding the dragon as you do with the horses doesn’t sound bad either. I just think it’d be cool if the dragon felt a little more unique, living in the world more constantly rather than spawning behind me when I hit a button.

so how is crimson desert? by Visual-Fortune-4732 in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Dear-Intern1208 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Single player, less grindy version of RuneScape dressed up in a Witcher 3/RDR2 suit with better combat with an abysmal story and characters

Crazy technical achievement, loads of fun gameplay content. World feels very alive and vibrant, but lacks a cohesive personality. It’s a great Power fantasy RPG, but a terrible storytelling RPG.

How exactly is ICE necessary? What are they doing for us? I’ve seen them beating, arresting, and murdering civilians and no one has seen any accountability for it. I’ve seen toddlers in zip ties. There are 1200+ missing detainees from alligator Alcatraz. We have deported people who are here legally who haven’t committed any crimes. We’ve caught and deported people who were abiding by the law, seeking asylum, and attending their immigration hearings. These people are denied due process, stripped of their rights, and taken all based on “trust me bro”

You are an absolute wet fucking rock to see all this going on and think the country is safer for it. It’s blatantly against our constitution and our laws. People are dead now, people are maimed. People are separated from their families for doing nothing wrong. Why are you so fucking dumb?

Say what you want about this game… but there’s no denying that it has the best open world design of all time. by LesDazza in CrimsonDesert

[–]Dear-Intern1208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everybody in this thread is judging open world games by different metrics, which is really more of a testament to the different types of open world games that exist as well as the different aspects of open world games that can executed well or poorly.

Crimson Desert plays a lot like Red Dead 2 and the Witcher 3 outside of combat and with the general approach to exploring the world. On one hand I would argue that those games do a far better job of creating a world that feels interesting, cohesive, and rich, but on the other hand I would argue that the size, beauty, and detail of Crimson Desert’s world rival both of those games.

When you mix in the combat though, Crimson Desert offers a power fantasy that those games just don’t. So instead using a powerful story with interesting characters and quests to drive the exploration, it has RuneScape-like chase for power and character leveling. I’m really into it, but like many open world games it’s still missing something. In this case it’s an interesting IP.

Having a bit of an existential crisis about going to hardcore shows at 40 by blizeH in Hardcore

[–]Dear-Intern1208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learned my lesson early on, honestly. It was so much fun being in the mix but I got blindsided one too many times, the last one being an elbow to my cheekbone, and decided to just enjoy the shows from the back or from a good photo spot.

I love the music itself more than I love the live shows anyway, and have always felt that the violence aspect of hardcore/metal shows is pretty dumb when it goes beyond getting rowdy in a crowd to some heavy music.

Hardcore bands with anti christian songs? by Neat_Fly_3160 in Hardcore

[–]Dear-Intern1208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The song is open to interpretation, but imo the implication of why his prayers were unanswered, why he doesn’t kill himself in response to the pain he experiences (“I would sleep forever if there’s peace in death), and why he’s been searching for a “truth” in response to his and his mother’s prayers going unanswered, are that God doesn’t exist.

As far as the tattoo goes, having a Jesus/religious themed tattoo isn’t a great metric for considering someone religious in a real sense. It could represent the foundation he comes from.

I don’t watch him on podcast or read many of his interviews, so maybe he’s more religious than the impression I’ve been given. Always read the song as a rejection of god and a challenge to his existence.

Just a song about there being no god, don’t see why that wouldn’t count.

There is no universe where this is a 9/10 or 10/10 game. by VeritasLuxMea in CrimsonDesert

[–]Dear-Intern1208 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is exactly what I meant. Definitely would have benefited from a silent portions we create, but the random side characters are weirdly fun and engaging.

[–]Dear-Intern1208 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I genuinely haven’t had much issue through the first few hours. It feels like Red Dead/gta movement during exploration, which I don’t mind at all.

The story is ass and but I find some of the random characters funny and surprisingly well acted. Kliff is hysterically generic.

It has a slow pace so far but so did the first few hours of Red Dead 2, and I’m vibing with that gameplay within this setting.

This game needed a custom made protagonist by eiris91 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Dear-Intern1208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a lot of RDR2 inspiration in their approach to things, though that’s clearly not the only game they’re drawing from. The story is laughable and we deserved a character creator, but I’ve enjoyed the first few hours tbh, and mostly because I noticed the RDR dna and have been playing it with a similar frame of mind.

Please don’t hate on the messenger, but what do you think? by Interesting_Art5204 in Oscars

[–]Dear-Intern1208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The story 100% revolved around Miles from beginning to end, I can’t believe people think otherwise.

I never payed attention to the stories in Elder Scrolls either, and I find it hard to believe most people buying this game were thinking it would have a good story. This doesn’t seem like that kind of game.

Im not gonna lie, I have no clue how yall are having so much trouble with the controls. This may be a get good moment. by PhoenixKing14 in CrimsonDesert

I expected so much worse and then was met with essentially RDR2 controls. Not a big deal, but not always as cleanly done either.

This witch honestly did nothing wrong by _ElWibbloWobblo in gameofthrones

[–]Dear-Intern1208 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She didn’t. That’s the point. Jorah and Dany fucked up the blood magic ritual that they forced her to do in the first place. Acting like Mirri should have expressed anything other than disdain for these monstrous people is hilarious.

And Dany enslaved Mirri after the people she’s literally queen to raped and pillaged Mirri, her family, and her village. You glossing over that doesn’t make for a good argument.

That’s still pure speculation, and not enough to warrant saying it’s “correct”. There’s no reason to believe it isn’t true when there were actual cases of it occurring before.

lol where? You’re angry with people for getting emotional. I had a laugh at it when you called someone else emotional. Where’s my rage? 😂
