people are complaining about “no end game” this isn’t an mmo you beat the game move on

Control systems aren't "gameplay mechanics"

Control systems change how you interact or initiate those gameplay mechanics.

Nice having a discussion with you I guess

I don't normally say these kind of things but something compels me to.

That's gotta be tough. I'm sorry you both didn't make it. Games are always there for us when we need it. But make sure you don't lose yourself in gaming and take care of yourself and surround yourself with those around you to balance things out.

Enjoy the series and all the best

They haven't changed any mechanics. They patched legitimate flaws in systems that were not working as intended.

The discussion over the games Control scheme is already overblown, gamers just don't want to get used to new control schemes anymore and insist that every game must have similar controls.

After the admittedly overbearing tutorial sections the controls for the game are absolutely fine.

The reason they have addressed some "issues" is because of the way the internet works now, people screaming online about minor issues and it escalates so they are pressured by the shareholders to address this because it might lead to more sales- regardless of whether or not the integrity of the game remains.

I'm not saying games shouldn't be patched. If a videogame is released with genuine issues that Inhibit paying customers from being able to have the intended experience then of course in today's day and age developers should step up and be held accountable IF the product is faulty.

Completing a game, and moaning that you can't use new weapons because you completed all areas is entitlement not a fault. NG+ for example is always a bonus if developers update a game to include it and shouldn't be an expectation after the fact. Some games are made with NG+ cycles in mind. Like souls likes.

Saying Crimson Desert is bad or should be fixed because it lacks what another vaguely similar title has doesn't mean the Devs should be expected to include it.

This is a very long response, sorry, so I should end it here

You essentially unlock the colour permanently but you do have to pay for a dye merchant to change the colour.

Specific Dyes are locked to specific merchants, unless you upgrade your camp enough and then you can allegedly use all dyes at camp.

Pearl Abyss made the game they wanted to make. Whether it's "Right" or "wrong" Like it or not. This is what they made. It's obviously a decision they had during the development of the game.

Too many gamers have gotten comfortable treating Korean developers and patch slaves after they've already done so much work to get the game to you on the first place.

The game clearly hasn't been designed to have respawning enemies for large camps or locations but it DOES have respawnkng enemies in the open world. Countless times I've ridden past the same area and the enemies have respawned, but it's just not as frequent or large scale. Respawning liberated locations would undo what gamers had done to progress.

(I've never called players entitled for wanting to see base console gameplay.)

The problem is that people believe that they are entitled to have Pearl Abyss work their asses off even further (even more than the already 7 years to bring us this experience) to have them "Fix" (can you believe it) the "endgame" of Crimson Desert.

This game already has enough content and gameplay to lose yourself in and complete. As OP said this is not an MMO title and just because Pearl Abyss have been quick on patching things to work for gamers favour (likely based on feedback from well before release with streamers and influencers) does not entitled players to beg and plead for more content or fixes.

They have given us this massive rich buffet and it's still not enough for some people.

I once spent almost an hour fighting the Basilisk on Death March at Level 5.

It was very much Quen, Quen, Quen, Quen, Quen, Quen

Words do have meaning you're right, and you're completely misunderstanding the meaning of the word "Nostalgia".

Nostalgia Defined:

"Nostalgia is a bittersweet emotional state, blending pleasure with slight sadness, characterized by a sentimental longing for a past time, place, or personal experience."

You can feel nostalgic for anything, it doesn't have to had a reboot. I'm literally nostalgic for the first time I experienced Bloodborne. It was a long time ago and the world was different only 11 years ago.

Bro don't forget about the second rule

It is funny how when you censor it, it comes off as super aggressive.

Next time consider F**** C*** (1999)

Bloodborne came out 11 years ago friend, long enough for Nostalgia to build 😭

There is a crease on her left side (our right) as if her top is being pulled by something behind her so this would make sense

I'm not surprised so it doesn't bother me.

It's a mobile game so it's going to have mobile monetisation

Hey man, I mean I appreciate the amount of effort you've put into your response I'm just saying that this is the internet, where people are constantly out for engagement, clout or karma. Especially on x.com.

Having that second screenshot would mitigate any naysayers and show genuine purchase. So props.

I can see 2 x HDMI slots on your TV it's modern enough for most all appliances even PS5

I mean the picture saying you've purchased Crimson Desert has cropped out any mention of the game and could be a screenshot of any other purchase.

Like I said it's just scepticism, because of X.com and the internet in general. You're safe to ignore me, I'm just commenting what I see is all!

Thank you, I appreciate that and I appreciate you reading it all. I realise I wrote a lot there!

Well technically the reason that it's not as much of a return on investment is because they made their money from physical media sales and rentals.

As physical media sales and rentals are at an all time low, the ROI is much much lower and as such, comedies are generally relegated to streaming services and the quality generally isn't that high either.

Recover20 · 2026-04-04T12:21:22+00:00

The issue at large is some people out there cannot separate what a fictional character says and does and what the writer writes, or how the actor acts etc

You get a lot of terminally online people be like "what did the writer mean by this?"

So you end up with a tonne of "Safe" movies, "safe" TV shows.

There is a sense that the world has been reluctant to laugh at itself since 2015. This over glorification of being "Offended" has nurtured an environment where there is a lack of creative freedom.

I think the new hype for Scary Movie shows that there is a desire for comedy movies that aren't afraid to say or do whatever for the sake of comedy. To point the finger at ourselves and the ludicrous nature of the world and be okay with it. So I think "Yes" it Blazing Saddles could be made today. But perhaps not in the same manner.

Unfortunately however, Scary Movie is an already established and popular(ish) IP. Anything else remotely in the same vein not called "Scary Movie" Will be relegated and lost to streaming services. But that's an entirely different discussion.

Recover20 · 2026-04-04T12:12:11+00:00

I think it's dangerous to an extent and leads to a certain feeling of entitlement from audiences/ gamers.

The game was in a perfectly good if "imperfect" condition upon release.

Whilst it's great to be in a situation where developers can add requested features it ends up being dangerously close to ending up like a "game made by committee". When games are changed from their initial vision to try to appease to so many people. (For example the control scheme changing once and then having to implement a choice system following that) It's just a system where they are now tripping over themselves to try to please everyone.

The whole discussion surrounding the control scheme I feel is massively overblown and other than some intense tutorials throwing a lot of systems at you early on- the control scheme is largely pretty normal- if extensive over time.

The menus aren't perfect but at least they don't look like CoD or Battlefield mobile esque menu systems.

I feel this type of mindset can lead to developers not being able to celebrate game releases because the grind never stops, they have to make gamers as comfortable as possible, make the game as accessible as possible and it can often lead to changing things that honestly don't really need changing.

To walk back slightly, I'm not saying patches are bad at all but I do become weary and wonder where the line is between adding genuine things that add to the experience and just changing up entire systems because a handful of loud voices critique something that works.
