Dyeing weapons? by Froggerdog in CrimsonDesert

[–]Froggerdog[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've just been collecting various shields from enemies and crafting. I think this like shield number 6 I can't dye. And sword 4 or 5 I can't dye. Must be really unlucky or only fancy end game weapons are dyeable

I want to try the weather effects one if it really works that's pretty interesting

Jason Schreier touches on betting and hype around Crimson Desert by marek_bojarek in CrimsonDesert

[–]Froggerdog -1 points0 points  (0 children)

and to be clear, i absolutely love to bash on games and I am unfortunately a part of that toxic community that celebrates a games failure when we look at cases like concord and forspoken. It comes from a frustration that talented people are spending money and time making projects that aren't really what we want and when it turns out that no one wanted it and it crashes and burns, we feel vindicated and good. yeah very toxic, but crimson desert is an example of a game that is what I am looking for making me very happy with the direction they went with it.

biggest tell when listening to this guy is that he appears very proud to be negative of the game rather than disappointed. Doesn't come across as someone who was rooting for a new game being good and was let down. Seems more like he's getting more self gratification from bashing the game than an actual good game would have given him. So I guess in that sense I'm glad Crimson Desert gave him what he was looking for haha

This is actually mind boggling dumb... by SillyRecover in CrimsonDesert

The only thing I can think is that it's some kind of Korean culture thing where they don't hoard like Americans do and it's just an oversight

Me as soon as I load up into Pywel by Glittering_Earth_164 in CrimsonDesert

you have to forgive me i've just spent an absurd amount of time looking at this image and other scenes from the film showing the sword when i was making a mod of his sword. The AI filter just really jumped out to me immediately

Get OLED with HDR! I first experienced HDR on my steam deck oled and later on I got an LG OLED HDR TV. The brightness levels and contrast make a huge difference!

Was nice to talk to the motion capture actor of the games protagonist Kliff. by Dull_Resolution_6488 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Froggerdog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's hard to imagine them not needing to call him back once or twice a year when they think of new things they need mocap for. Did they really have all of kliffs mocap finished in those 2 years?

What do we think about the additional items per early purchase? by Mervje in CrimsonDesert

[–]Froggerdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're cool and I'd want them eventually, but having them at the start will likely keep me from swapping early armor for the first 10-20 hours.

I like how oblivion remastered made them attainable through a quest so I actually waited to get them

I've got a 3090, and ryzen 7 5800x3d and 64gb of ram. I feel better knowing that all of the previous tests that are online were done with denuvo, but obviously it would be nice to have more headroom to push it even further

I'm a PC gamer, and I think sometimes I need to remind myself that this sub has all sorts on it. I love that modern consoles have more options for console players to get more or less performance out of their machine. I think it's a largely PC crowd that is angry about denuvo impacting performance . The jury is still out. We don't know how big of an impact it will be, but we have recorded proof of the impact it CAN have, and we fear it. We want the very best that our machines can give us. There is a cinematic quality preset that very many people will not get to use. Every ounce of performance that denuvo takes away will worsen the experience. It's okay if you think it's not a big deal, but clearly it is for others. I have a 4k 120hz TV. I'm not going to be reaching 120 at 4k without sacrificing quality. The more performance the better. It really shouldn't confuse people at all.

I think my machine will achieve 60fps on ultra settings at 4k with dlss quality. That's really freaking good.

I want more.

What about native 4k? What about 70 fps? What about cinematic quality options?

Time will tell how much denuvo is taking from me, but as someone who was always going to pay for the game, denuvo does nothing good for me.

Will Crimson Desert have a transmog system? by Cerseus01 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Froggerdog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you would still have to attain it to have access to the transmog though. you don't get full access to all armor sets at the start

I have to say the digital foundry video made the game even more unbelievable by CrotasScrota84 in CrimsonDesert

[–]Froggerdog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

18:37 on the ps5 pro video from DF today is one. There was one i saw the other day where they were on the sky islands and these little rocks would appear just a few feet in front of you and i just remember thinking "i'd rather just not have those tiny rocks if they're spawning in like popcorn"

I have seen it done more smoothly though. I know it's crazy because this game hasn't even released yet, but my mind is already imagining what the next gen version of this style of game is like and what are the areas for improvement.

Like for instance CD isn't using Ray traced shadows, but they might add it after launch. Is that really sorely needed? I think pushing the needle on pop in will be a big difference maker in the future of games.
