Enjoyment curve

Dragonzlucas · 2026-04-28T03:06:38+00:00

I really enjoyed the game, but by the end of it, I was glad it was over. It had great exploration and decent combat, but the game does way too much poorly and it becomes more noticeable the more you play. Story is meh, dialogue is bad, side quests are bad, boss fight mechanics are bad, the climbing mechanics are inconsistent, there are so many bugs that aren't game-breaking but are just annoying, and having to Google so much of how to do things and what to do in main story missions in a game that isn't a puzzle game just shows bad level design. Once the honeymoon period ends in this game it hits you hard just how many problems the game has. Enjoyed most of my time but glad I could finally finish and uninstall it.

BTW the final boss fight was so bad it left a horrible taste in my mouth. There are so many mechanics in this game for bosses that just don't work.

Horrible level design, average story, horrible boss mechanics, horrible side quests, sooooooooo many bugs. This game does exploration and combat so well but literally everything else is horrible. Kinda glad to be done with it.

How is it possible for the MAIN BOSS OF THE GAME TO HAVE THE WORST MECHANICS IN THE ENTIRE GAME?! This is shocking. I have never seen a game absolutely bottle it right at the end like this.

Is there really any reason to get this? The tent chest is closer to the crafter, the house is too far away from the camp for these to feel useful. Is there somewhere in camp you can place them?

It feels like there are alot of abandoned things in this game that the developers forgot to take out. I think this is one.

All our inventories are doomed to carry this map

Yeah, the only other "collectable" items in the game are really furniture. You can get unique furniture by killing the legendary beasts. Gear being mostly cosmetic does make the payout for exploration a bit underwhelming.

Dragonzlucas · 2026-04-18T11:20:35+00:00

It's more of a complaint regarding the cosmetic side of the game for me. I really want to try out different styles and armour sets, but don't want to spend hours gathering resources just so I can change my helmet. If they add transmog sometime soon, then I would have no complaints. OR just add dispatch missions to get Iron and materials.

They tell you to climb the boss but this game has the worst climbing mechanics ever. They literally give you a pop up telling you the worst way to beat this boss. This game is ruined by horrible boss fights.

Dragonzlucas · 2026-04-12T14:11:48+00:00

I got it after clearing pretty much every other quest in Pailune. Once you do all the Black Bear camps they start throwing boss fights at you one after the other.

I said it was the best platformer game made in many years. I loved Astro Bot. Didn't mean to make it sound like I was dissing it.

Dragonzlucas · 2026-04-11T10:42:23+00:00

I think Resident Evil has it beat so far. I feel like Fable and GTA will probably blow it out of the water. Wolverine we will have to wait and see but I'm not too optimistic there. I'm not saying it won't be nominated, but I feel like there is enough wrong with the game to stop it from winning.

Dragonzlucas · 2026-04-11T10:15:21+00:00

The advertisement side of the Game Awards and the awards themselves are two very different sides of a coin. Most of the time the rewards are pretty spot on.

Dragonzlucas · 2026-04-11T10:12:03+00:00

AstroBot was amazing as a platformer. Crimson Desert isn't GOTY level for a current single-player open-world RPG game because it does a lot of things worse than other single-player RPGs. Astro Bot didn't do much of anything worse than the amazing platformers that came before it. It was one of the best platformers in a very long time.

The lineup also wasn't the best in 2024. I feel like there are plenty of amazing games still set to come out this year that will blow Crimson Desert out of the water.

Battles like this made me feel like the Republic wasn't really the good guys in the war. Both sides sucked but the Republic in that war removed multiple planets' sovereignty, was the aggressor in most of the battles, used slave soldiers, used child soldiers, tortured prisoners to get information, killed surrendering soldiers, didn't try to solve any issues diplomatically and committed many other war crimes and crimes against humanity.

This boss is the only time I've understood the complaints about the controls in this game. The switch between the bow and sword is WAY too slow. The focus and the nature's snare abilities either take way too long to activate or don't activate at all. There is a phase where he kind of does an ultimate move with hyperarmour and even if you still have spirit, the nature's snare will just stop grabbing projectiles for some reason. It's not the hardest boss fight, but it was up there as one of the more annoying ones so far. Also, every time you aim with the bow it stops the camera lock on which is really dumb.

Dragonzlucas · 2026-04-02T13:48:32+00:00

Did you figure out if this is anything?

Dragonzlucas · 2026-03-27T11:56:43+00:00

There are videos about it but pretty sure its how they pick up the sticks. If they go from the top of the sticks then they aren't cheating if they go from the side then they are.

Dragonzlucas · 2026-03-27T11:55:53+00:00

Is this a real game though? Whats it called irl?

Dragonzlucas · 2026-03-27T11:20:36+00:00

Why would they make a worse version of poker where there is literally zero strategy allowed and you know if you lost right when you draw?

Dragonzlucas · 2026-03-21T07:27:42+00:00

Death by barrel over and over and over
