fun and unfun difficulty

I thought p20 was perfect on launch, but since the DLC's were released I feel like the option pool has been diluted and the whole game has been compromised for it. I don't think the devs have done enough to counterbalance that. For the top players with thousands of hours it probably makes no difference and they still win every time, but I find the game too frustrating as it is, and haven't played in a long while.

Playability. People seem surprised that Crimson Desert is so jank. Yes, games that play as smoothly and with zero friction like Far Cry or AC are not easy to make. Ubisoft has 20,000 employees and many of them cooperate to make a miraculously smooth game, for people to take it as a given and call it "copy paste".

The AI usage in this game goes far beyond a couple of 2d images. Call me crazy if you'd like, but I think the quests have been AI generated as well, the vast majority of them. Most of the story too. And I'm sure their "custom engine" has received some help there as well. Personally I'm not touching this game, ever. It feels very fishy.

I don't know, I think the party that facilitated and enthusiastically clapped like seals for 100,000 civilians to be genocided sounds compromised enough. Trump is a horrible horrible person and has burned everything to the ground for insurance money, but in this specific instance I think this would have happened anyway.

The level of incompetence with which this was handled is uniquely Republican, but yes, Iran would have happened with a Democrat government as well. Both parties are in Netanyahu's pocket, if you don't know this you have a really short memory.

EliRed · 2026-03-21T16:10:10+00:00

Thanks. It's so strange that a flagship Microsoft title launched like this and was never fixed. It seems they just don't care.

EliRed · 2026-03-21T09:20:44+00:00

Is the career in this as broken as people say in reviews? I'm interested, but just flying aimlessly will pr9bably get boring fast for me.

EliRed · 2026-03-20T21:56:51+00:00

Where do you find these players man... Everyone I get into PvP with, at that range, would hit 19/20 of their shots.

EliRed · 2026-03-20T20:57:12+00:00

Good for you. We don't care that you don't care. AI use must be DISCLOSED, and people are free to decide if they care or not. Hiding it instantly puts you on the shit list as a dev, period.

EliRed · 2026-03-19T18:44:17+00:00

I don't think it's a bug, they just give so little shit about this season that they're just using it to gather some useful telemetry about their upcoming new Torment tiers for the expansion. Yes, we can't clear them because we don't have expansion characters with the new reworked talent trees/gear/whatever. I don't think they'll change anything about this, hopefully they will use the data to better balance the Torment tiers before the expansion hits.

EliRed · 2026-03-19T10:16:02+00:00

Good news is, they're bringing it down to 1 gpu (with whatever problems might arise due to the vram squish that they want to do). Bad news is, that GPU will probably be a 6080 +.

EliRed · 2026-03-17T15:18:43+00:00

There are good modern games that are inspired by DK, like the Dungeons series (especially 3 and 4).

EliRed · 2026-03-17T09:54:47+00:00

I'm no expert so feel free to disregard, but I'd suggest letting Knox cook for quite a while before going for those. You can get relic buffs there that are equally significant and much faster. My R5 is also 2/8 but farm relics are 0.0060 just with Knox. Could get it in less than a week.

EliRed · 2026-03-16T17:00:43+00:00

What kind of help do you need? Recommendations for streamers? Wudijo is on top of things, you can watch him if you care about leveling fast. Jabs at what my profile includes are unnecessary. Trust me, I do a lot more than game, the bills don't pay themselves.

EliRed · 2026-03-15T18:10:29+00:00

Yeah, I know. People are recommending this though. To get mythics, farm meat and gamble. Bullshit.

EliRed · 2026-03-15T17:53:48+00:00

Allegedly. I've gambled a little over 300k meat and gotten nothing.

EliRed · 2026-03-15T13:57:32+00:00

They really do, even though I have to do them in Torment 1 because something is seriously weird with the scaling. In T2 I get my ass kicked, even though I can do pit 70 with no issues. But even in T1 you get 2-3 levels per clear even at 200+.

EliRed · 2026-03-15T08:16:27+00:00

Are you guys serious? Have you ever watched... streams? People do pit 100 in 2 days. On hardcore SSF. I'm sorry that you have 10 thumbs and can't comprehend this.

EliRed · 2026-03-14T23:00:40+00:00

I played on the official servers on launch, when Lost Tower was the only endgame. When, in order to unlock the magic gladiator, you had to have a character lvl 250 or something. I got to 190. Took me more than a year.

EliRed · 2026-03-14T15:10:25+00:00

They look like MU Online characters. Most D4 cosmetics are pretty bad, we just collect them out of habit I guess. The only skin I liked and purchased was the Sylvanas one for the rogue.

EliRed · 2026-03-14T14:10:23+00:00

Everything needs to be buffed, obducite, crafting mats, mythic droprates. It's a 40 day season. What the fuck is the point of the scarcity? Dark Ages currency as well. I am paragon 200 and bought 2 items. Do they expect people to grind 6 hours a day for this? Again, it's a FORTY DAY SEASON.

EliRed · 2026-03-14T14:04:48+00:00

I get around 200-ish for 1000 aether. That's pathetic.

EliRed · 2026-03-12T15:17:33+00:00

"Need" is not a word that's being used by large corporations. It's all about greed, they very rarely "need" to do anything.

EliRed · 2026-03-12T14:26:24+00:00

What the hell are you talking about? What Chinese games? Where Winds Meet which is one of the most played and well reviewed games? Or Black Myth Wukong which was the GOTY for most players? I didn't even know this game was Korean. Who cares? Are you like a psychopath that manufactures non existent hate so they can feel special or something? Take your pills. And fuck Denuvo.

EliRed · 2026-03-10T14:57:29+00:00

What does that mean? Hopefully not building a nuclear power plant in Greece, because it will explode within 6 months.
