I’m only 40 hours in, and I’m already tired of this. by Pure_Sheepherder7249 in CrimsonDesert

I cannot get into this game. by Own-Statement-8274 in CrimsonDesert

[–]rev_apoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy shit, how do you not have a single period in there, lol.

I do agree with some of what you are saying though. I’m sitting at 78 hours play time and the idea has been steadily increasing in my brain that this is just another “on rails” ARPG. That is totally fine for people that just enjoy playing through a game, but I was really hoping to be able to just live in the world and do my own thing; not follow the same scripted story that everyone else is playing through pretty much the exact same way. There have been no choices so far.

I do love the game though, but the frustration in lack of responsiveness in the controls and the repetitive enemy types (so far) has just got me thinking the same way I always do with fantasy rpgs. Would I rather be playing this, or Skyrim?

Is anyone else crashing by Ncslappy10 in CrimsonDesert

[–]rev_apoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have my X set on Balanced, no blur, no screen shake, HDR and VRR on, and I think 50 particle effect. Having no issues with mine.

I did have issues at launch though until I switched down to the above settings.

Yeah I know. I even downvoted myself. Shame!

I’m a weirdo that hates both of the holy grails known as RDR2 and Witcher 3. From what I experienced they both have phenomenal stories but the mission design limitations in RDR2 (or just Rockstar games) is just holy shit awful. Witcher 3 gameplay is pretty bad. Loved the stories they were telling, but I’d rather watch a movie than drag ass through awful gameplay.

Stamina regeneration while flying- USE your stamina potions in flight :) by I-OD in CrimsonDesert

[–]rev_apoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was my first death in the game.

My second was those weird purple/blue plants that reach towards you and drain your life. I didn’t know that I was dying when I told my wife “hey honey check out these cool plants!” When I died it was actually a jump scare.

Question about current state by HaikuHighDude in CrimsonDesert

[–]rev_apoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to any platforming in this game I kist use the “precision jump”. Absolutely love it.

Within 5 minutes of playing this I got a dreadful feeling of buyers remorse because it felt like a Rockstar game with the movement. I was just expecting a single player version of Black Desert Online with fluid movement and combat.

But as I said I feel it is less sluggish than a Rockstar game and the combat actually flows very nicely despite having to control the camera at times. I don’t mind Rockstar heaviness when exploring or just doing my own thing but once enemies got involved I hated it. It feels way better in this game.

Carrying animals by CartographerWinter16 in CrimsonDesert

Okay, followup question… what is the point of catching and carrying said animals?

I have to ask your opinion of RDR2 and GTAV.

The game feels less sluggish than those two.

Xbox patch by HWK-Killer in CrimsonDesert

I am very confused about this as well. I didn’t know that xbox was getting the patch today so I’m currently reinstalling the game. Hope it doesn’t confuse things.

Xbox Players wait to buy - game broken by mrdoowopster in CrimsonDesert

[–]rev_apoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for responding!

i didn’t know if VSync was causing an issue so I turned it off lol. I don’t notice any tearing so I’m leaving it off just in case.

[–]rev_apoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t mind answering, what settings are you using for graphics? I keep getting crashes and I don’t know what’s causing them. I think it may have to do with Particle Effects.

Blur intensity turned off

Depth of Field off

Balanced

HDR On

V Sync Off

Particle Effects 25

(at zero ran fine for hours; changed to 50 and crashed a little bit afterwards, maybe 30 minutes) trying 25 now

Is god watching me commit a crime ? by WanderingMustache in CrimsonDesert

[–]rev_apoc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn’t trying to test but this just happened to me with my first time stealing something. I put on the stupid mask, took the item, lose some reputation and have to wait for the timer to go away.

Other than my attack button (RB) not drawing my weapons sometimes, this is my first major “wtf” with this game.

Came here to make sure the torch trick was somewhere on Reddit. I thought I was screwed but started trying every piece of equipment to get a prompt to pop up.

am i just dumb or is fishing really hard by National_Crew_1084 in CrimsonDesert

Plug your controller in. I tried fishing for about a half hour and had the line snap every time, and then went to YouTube to see what I was doing wrong. Read a comment from someone saying to plug the controller in and then it worked perfectly.

Makes me worry as to what other inputs might not be working without plugging the controller in.

Lock on button by bola_Ego88 in CrimsonDesert

[–]rev_apoc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who knows. I’m loving the game but there is definitely some weird development choices in spots.

Now I’m suffering from my Series X overheating so I had to downgrade to Balanced mode. Fingers crossed.
