Metacritic is crap. Waiting for OpenCritic

 

[pnutboy]

This game will be like Dragon's Dogma 1 where fans will ride super hard for it.

 

[Radical_3d]

it's not like they weren't warned about the wacky controls in every show they demoed it. They didn't listen and everything is a combination of buttons instead of contextual. I don't know what they expected…

 

[Mattdaddy]

Of course reviews are just all over the place lmao.

Par for the course so far with this ride.

 

[Moondoggy]

6 from IGN. Ouch

Shame it can't be a good game like Veilguard, then they'd love it.

[UnrealEck]

This game will tide me over until this year's best RPG....Outward 2.

84 at OpenCritic (so far)

 

[bender]

42 distinguished GAF'ers copied my homework, the rest of you are pathetic skin tubed meat sacks.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Seems like a pretty risky and divisive game, which sounds pretty nice to me when compared to the usual slop we get on the AAA space.

 

[squallbr]

I told you, dont believe HYPE

 

[PatientGamer]

a 6 from IGN!? Damn. I usually don't trust them, but that's not good score no matter how you swing it..

 

[Instant_Classic]

79 on Metacritic



GAFers, take this L.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Dont preorder guys. Just wait for reviews.

 

[DAHGAMING]

Piece of shit. Stand by for the only true game to grace us this year Grant Theft Auto 6, a game for real men

 

[Lokaum D+]

As someone who played BDO for a small amount of time I fully expect this to be a 7/10 grind fest. I don't understand why everyone is so hype.

[FoxMcChief]

So Starfield is better.

Sweet.

Yeah why trust my own gut when I can leave my financial decisions to some dude at IGN.

[Elios83]

Yeah my feeling told me not to preorder and I was right.
This might be worth a try during a sale.

 

[LectureMaster]

It's fucking time let's fucking goooo!

Crimson Desert review - it's a bit like prestige Candy Crush

A vast world and even vaster array of MMO-like activities mix with glittering fidelity in Crimson Desert, but it lacks character, texture or charm .

[StreetsofBeige]

77 on PC on Meta.

 

[Negotiator101]

WTF happened to beating elden ring?

Who said that?

 

[DragoonKain]

I suspect many will be reviews in progress but my hunch is this will be a game much better to play 3 months from now than at launch once various patches fix a lot of inevitable complaints. I have a physical copy preordered so I'll see if I play it right away in the next few days.

 

[bender]

So Starfield is better.

Sweet.

 

[PatientGamer]

you know there were problems when the devs started getting arsey when asked about the base PS5 version.

 

[Topfuel]

 

[near]

I told you, dont believe HYPE

I'm still hyped. Should I cancel my preorder because other people played the game and didn't give it 10/10?

 

[Hollywood Hitman]

Im always impressed with the value people still give to the mainstream access woke as fuck media...

Yea totally. It's only used when they can push narratives, it's never changed in that regard. I can't imagine being a gaming enthusiast and not playing a game like this, there's so many variables involved between different people and so much to see in a game like this I couldn't even for one second just be like pass after random fucking nobodies throw out arbitrary scores

 

[Negotiator101]

This ll have 10x the number of players than Marathon, its far far way from a bomba flop

Not exactly a high bar though.

 

[Magic-DEI-Hire]

lmao some no name site on Metacritic gave it a 4.5/10:

Crimson Desert – Análise – Vale a Pena – Review

Poucos jogos singleplayer conseguem chamar tanta atenção como Crimson Desert conseguiu, todos os olhos dos jogadores do mundo inteiro estão voltados para

criticalhits.com.br

Opencritic's rating system is much more accurate typically in my eyes, I keep special attention to the "percent recommended" meter also.

welcome to pearl abyss world.

 

[KyoZz]

So what I gather from these reviews is that the game is hugely ambitious, beautiful, content-rich, "slow-burn" masterpiece for dedicated players who stick with it, but flawed and not for everyone.

 

[BennyBlanco]

It sounds so much like Where Winds Meet.

 

[Lynkk]

Score of 5/10 on the french webiste Gamekult

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I think gamespot, ign and kotaku type places try and hate on Eastern games that don't push a leftist agenda. Remember, they all hated on black myth and stellar blade too.

 

[kittoo]

I like immersive open worlds, but I hate grindfests and MMOs.
What do I do GAF?!!!!

 

[delishcaek]

Everyone should've seen this coming after the impressions from the preview event.

 

[Ishma3L]

Crimson Desert review: The most fascinating, frustratingly obtuse game ever

A game that tries it all, even if it's not always a success.

[Lokaum D+]

Not exactly a high bar though.

I bet it ll have more all time peak then Requiem.

 

[Stuart360]

Wow i was thinking i will be able to get 1440p/60 at Ultra settings, but it looks like i can get cinemratic settings accoriging to this.

Nice one.
