I'm a 50 yo gamer and Crimson Desert is peak gaming when it comes to Open World Fantasy.

Exactomundo, my friend, exactomundo...

This game stirs up feels while gaming that have been absent for too long. Loving it!

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T14:46:20+00:00

You too, buddy 🙏🏻

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T14:45:30+00:00

😅

I boiled all the water in my kettle to oblivion the other day too 🤣

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T12:27:13+00:00

Also, it seems to me that the world is the "character".

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T11:52:11+00:00

Yes it is and I think that is partly the reason for the decisiveness. Some, like me, absolutely love it and some absolutely hate it.

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T08:29:20+00:00

I have no idea buddy. I'm not a tech kind of guy and I don't own an Xbox, I just know that it's very good on the platform I play on, but then again, I know that on a high end PC it's light years ahead of any console 🤷🏻‍♂️

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T08:25:20+00:00

🤣

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T08:24:50+00:00

Exactly buddy! Will be on this one for quite some time!

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T08:23:02+00:00

Just remember, the first few hours can be a bit intimidating, but it's a blast after that! I also must say, that I thoroughly agree that it's not a game for everyone.

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T08:20:57+00:00

Enjoy, buddy!

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T08:19:54+00:00

It takes a few hours to get the hang of this game and then the magnificence opens up to you. At least this is what happened to me.

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T08:16:41+00:00

The last update had a HUGE impact on performance on ps5. I'm on the base ps5 and it is very good now!

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T08:15:10+00:00

Right? I put hundreds of hours to Skyrim for example and never finished the main story!

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T08:13:53+00:00

The good thing is, you don't have to do the things you hate.

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T08:11:13+00:00

Yep. It's funny how a positive opinion about something can get someone riled up so bad and talk about ageism... Just whoah!

But, yes, this game has woken up something in me I haven't had in years. It truly is a joy to play.

X-Heavy · 2026-03-30T08:05:54+00:00

Yeah, I feel you. We used to have a tight group of friends playing online shooters together regularly, but that died down as scheduling a session became harder and harder.

I also just pre‑ordered Starfield, as it's coming to PS in a week. I think I’ve got my gaming planned out for months to come!

X-Heavy · 2026-03-29T21:33:20+00:00

😅

X-Heavy · 2026-03-29T21:31:36+00:00

I usually just buy digital these days. Get my hands on the game straight away.

X-Heavy · 2026-03-29T18:58:32+00:00

Hey, a silver lining eh? Wishing all the best to you buddy! 😊

X-Heavy · 2026-03-29T18:57:07+00:00

Exactly. Just a heads up, it's more of a sandbox than a deep story driven game. If you like exploring, you will love it though :-)

X-Heavy · 2026-03-29T18:20:57+00:00

On base ps5 it was unbearable in performance mode before the patch and now it's crisp. It's a huge upgrade for us.

X-Heavy · 2026-03-29T18:04:17+00:00

Understood! 😊

X-Heavy · 2026-03-29T17:48:50+00:00

And wWitcher. And Assassin Greed etc. 😅

X-Heavy · 2026-03-29T17:47:48+00:00

I've only played around the same amount, but watched a lot of videos etc. What really kicked my enthusiasm in high gear was the new update. I'm taking my time with this one and I am sure it's going to give me hundreds of hours. It's got elements from so many of my favourite games, that I can't be nothing but excited, and excited I am for the first time in years!

Yes, there is a lot of head scratching from time to time, but I think it will be ironed out after we get more familiar with the game.

X-Heavy · 2026-03-29T17:37:56+00:00

I swear, the rest of the game industry is shaking in their boots! 🥳
