Crimson Desert |OT| We've Got Quest(ion)s

It's hard to accept that a game with that many great features would only score 80-85. It's beyond ridiculous. I know the media is what it is and they lower the score of studios that are not in their favorite list, but this scoring below Dragon Dogma would be gross.
KCD2 is a masterpiece and it was rated lower than Spiderman 2 or Horizon, it looks like this game can be more frustrating than Warhorse's one for some people so i wouldn't expect any different.

I'd search for some youtubers who loved KCD2, BG3 and other great games that don't hold your hand while playing and listen to their reviews, that should be the most reliable way to know how good it is, i wouldn't trust most press for games like this sadly
 
Someone pointed out that the curtains are on the outside instead of inside and now the game is ruined. :lollipop_crying:
In the grand scheme of things, yeah no biggie ...but still. 😋

I am watching again the launch trailer and I love the fact that there is a Jetpack and you can fly like in Just Cause

Just Cause franchise is my guilty pleasure, the games are silly but the gameplays are very addictive

I really hope the jetpack gameplay is similar to JC.

Between the destruction system, the jetpack and that special arrow you have that calls for an artillery strike this is pretty much shaping to be medieval Just Cause.
 
That's one of the few games where it did, and it was poorly implemented. I'm telling you there's been a lot of fud over this, like that Hogwart's Legacy comparison video which ended up being totally fake but went viral and helped push the denuvo = performance hit narrative. It's just not an issue outside of a few older cases from years ago.
Posting this here because Denuvo HAS an impact:

1) Denuvo is making call and stress the CPU more so IT HAS an impact on performance. You can't add stuff running in background and expect performance to stay the same.
2) "But this cracked version is running the same as the legit one with Denuvo!". Yes, that's because Denuvo is NOT cracked but bypassed. The calls made by the DRM are still present, so performance remains essentially the same.
3) Just by principle, you should be against these DRM.
 
Well, consider my autism activated.

Edit: But seriously, what is this game!? It has everything and now a train network (I'm assuming). I saw another video of him falling from a Tears of the Kingdomesque sky land smash cut with gameplay of a mech suit. There is no way this works right? Right? This is a scam.... right?

This truly is Read Dead in a fantasy setting :messenger_tears_of_joy:
We knew this for a while. Tracks could be seen from far away. There is also Zeppelins in the game, and those could be seen like a year ago.

What is starting to be a bit concerning for me (not a deal breaker though), is no sight of underwater diving…

ZEPPELINS!?
 
I just saw this on my front page and watched a little. I have not really seen much of this game before this thread and this video. I watched a little of the 50 minutes of gameplay in the OT and this video. This guy uses completely different games to describe it, but from my just watching I would use different games. I'm getting Dragon's Dogma vibes, and that has gotten me a lot more interested now. That with a mix of Assassin's Creed and Horizon games.





I was in a slump with no desire to play any games, so much so that I have been looking at getting something new on top of my 100s of unplayed games that are not piquing my interest atm. I might dive into this one, break my no full price games rule. I'll probably find a sale on GMG or one of them.

I've been going to GGdeals and havn't had any issues with keys. I know GMG is on their list.

It's like a fever dream where somebody took RDR2, TOTK, WuKong, Just Cause, Black Desert Online, and combined them into one game.
 
well have fun waiting for it to come back into stock so you can get a bit of plastic just to download most of the game anyway.
Nah have fun with surge pricing in the future with your precious digital. Oh no someone may have to wait a few days

They should be sued for everyone that pre ordered before they included Denuvo on the Steam page.
Yeah shit sucks. I hope they are competent enough to properly implement it so performance doesn't suffer a lot because of it.

Personally, I'm not too worried. DD2 had Denuvo and was very poorly optimized yet I was able to play it just fine. I bet it will be the same here or even way better.
 
Technically yes. Would be great if all informations are there when games are offered to buy. But again...you can cancel a preorder anytime. So its not a huge problem imho.
Sure we can cancel it. The point is to send a message for shit practices from publishers.
 
Damn I just realized this game is Xbox Play Anywhere. Hmm Forza or this? I could just play Forza on game pass... Decisions, decisions.
 
Guys i just noticed something that no outlet talked about (maybe Digital Foundry will in their video who knows)

Where were you Gonzito Gonzito when they designed Kliff ?

Lol funny enough, my girlfriend said the same thing the other day when I showed her the trailers.

She has great eye what can i say :messenger_tears_of_joy:

I just found this video that talks about the optimization of the game. I found it interesting that it seems they are really nerdy devs that love to put their hands in the code and try to optimize it, when other devs just satsify themselves with "its good enough"

 
I expect GOTY. Gamers hate the idea of innovation and large scope yet when that shit gets given to them they absolutely love it.
 
Looks good so far. Can't wait to get this.
Looks good to me. I got the Steam version as that is my platform of choice even though I have a PS5 Pro.
I remember another thread concerning the the lack of console coverage and doubts of its performance and throwing shade at Digital Foundry.

Well, Here's the video. Time to move that goal post. Don't hurt your back.
