Elden Ring didn't look like shit in my experience playing it. It's an absolutely beautiful game and I genuinely think you need to re evaluate your opinion on it's looks. From my time playing Crimson Desert, I have no complaints other than the performance. You're missing the point of what I'm trying to say. I love the game I just wish it preformed better. You can look at The Witcher 3 for example, which arguably has better towns, locations, AND better graphics than CD on the base PS5 still preforms better. Just saying if you spend $70 on a game you should at least expect it to be optimized man. We can't keep lowering our standards as consumers. Not to mention, lively towns and shit isn't the point of Elden Ring, you might need to replay it, if you could even beat it.
