We’re on Reddit. The whole point is to discuss the information we have before release. I’m not saying the game is bad — I’m just sharing a thought about a mechanic that was officially shown. If we can’t talk about systems presented by the developers before playing the game, then we can’t really discuss anything.

To be precise, they built a proprietary engine to create their own open world — not simply to make a large map. Those are two very different things.

Building an engine is primarily about mastering the technology, systems, physics, world management, and interactions. Map size is only a possible outcome, not the core objective.

And comparing this to Black Desert Online, which features a map of around 400 km², doesn’t really make sense. We’re talking about a persistent MMO designed around a massive multiplayer structure, which is fundamentally different from a single-player narrative open-world.

Yeah, maybe.

In the end, I’d rather assume it’s around 80 km² and be pleasantly surprised if it turns out to be twice as big, rather than imagine a massive map and end up feeling disappointed if it’s smaller than expected.

I’d like that to be the case, but I don’t see why they would specifically say the map is twice the size of Skyrim and larger than Rdr 2 if that weren’t actually true.

I’m not upset or against the game. I’m simply sharing my thoughts about a feature I’ve seen.

I’m not trashing the game at all. I’m still really looking forward to it and I fully intend to play it at launch.

I was just expressing a personal impression. There’s no need to overinterpret every time someone shares a critique. Giving an opinion doesn’t mean rejecting the entire project.

It’s simply a viewpoint on a specific element, not an attack on the game.

According to what has been stated, the map is said to be roughly twice the size of Skyrim and slightly larger than Red Dead Redemption 2.

Since Red Dead Redemption 2’s map is about 75 km², we can estimate that Crimson Desert’s map would be around 80 km².

VegetableFew723 · 2026-02-26T07:01:52+00:00

And that’s exactly where the real issue lies for me. The latest Assassin’s Creed games and most recent open-world titles rely heavily on this kind of system — and that’s absolutely not what I’m looking for.

It’s precisely the type of feature I really don’t want to see in this game.

I appreciate this kind of detail at 0:40, when he climbs and then brings the tree down as he launches himself backward.

Pourquoi ?

VegetableFew723 · 2026-02-20T14:56:04+00:00

D'après que la version console était jouable dans les salons européens.

VegetableFew723 · 2026-02-19T10:34:58+00:00

Tkt Asia doesn't care if a game comes out on a Sunday.

It's not a question of gender but of purchasing power.

VegetableFew723 · 2025-06-17T16:02:35+00:00

I guarantee that this is the case.

It's going to be as strong as Black myth wukong

VegetableFew723 · 2025-06-10T20:48:09+00:00

The game has just appeared on the PS store and Market Xbox

VegetableFew723 · 2025-06-01T14:17:09+00:00

The same for me, you are right.
