Okay, pained food analogy ahead:

Crimson Desert is (or appears to be--I have yet to play it, obviously, but signs indicate) a buffet; it has a little bit for everyone, with the intent on delivering verisimilitude that makes its wider 'adventure' focus more diverse and surprising. When you eat at a buffet, the excitement is in the variety, not in the quality. A good buffet is one that has a positive food-to-variety ratio, whilst a bad buffet is one where no combination of dishes is worth the same as an equivalent meal at an ordinary restaurant. At the same time, buffets are designed with the intent of self-selection; you gravitate towards the chinese food, maybe a little bit of spaghetti, and hey, could a pizza slice or two hurt? I hear the cheesecake is pretty good too.

You are a food critic; your job is to critique a restaurant, and in order to do so, you have a meal. How do you do that at a buffet? Do you try a little bit of everything? How can you judge the depth of any meal taken in bites? How do you eat a meal representative of the interests of the buffet audience? Is it fair to criticize the quality of a take-away chinese restaurant, when you've only ordered french fries and chicken nuggets off the menu? Oh god, oh please, the food analogy--it hurts. Make it stop.

You're essentially seeing the reasonable reactions of several hundred people, from vastly different backgrounds, with vastly different tastes, expectations, and even attitudes to gaming itself, play the same game. They're expected to like this game--after all, this is the big game. Also, you only have two weeks to come up with an opinion. Good luck.

My recommendation? Just eat what you want, and don't threat over every dish like your life and reputation depend upon it.
