Actually he is part of the Seasoned Gaming weekly Bitcast so you can see exactly who he is. Not a shill comes to mind. Can come across as arrogant though. Also I often disagree with his take on games, but sometimes he is spot on.In other words, he is paid off shill
Be interesting to see if he revises it up. Also whilst he publishes under the IGN banner, I think he is more contractor than employee.

Lot of .1 to .5 hour invested Steam reviews being negative. Guess a decent amount of people are getting GPU not supported errors and complaints that you can't switch keybinds.

Reasonable scores. Crimson Desert looks very generic.

Yep, I'm sure all the reviews from people who played the 150+ hour game for less than an hour and refunded it are super legit review worth taking into consideration.

Idk, performance is running better than balanced for me. PSSR in action?

Yes performance will do 60 fps most of the time, and can go above 60fps if you turn v sync off in settings but then you get screen tearing for sure.
Balanced is amazing with v sync off but the screen tearing is so bad it ruins the mode entirely.
Performance mode with v sync on, depth of field off for me.

weird. this part about the military encounters pretty much confirms exactly what made me think early on that the game might not be for me:

Yeah I'll do the same settings you had. 1080p upscale to 4k is fine. I know DF recommended balance but that was pre patch.

They made it sound like the screen tearing was very rare in this mode but in the first town it's non stop.
If there was no screen tearing it would be sublime.

Yes, IGN's reviewer Travis Northup is a contractor/freelancer. But he has done a lot of reviews for IGN. So they seem to like working with him. He did come across arrogant to me in the video. But I don't know anything about him otherwise.
As far as Steam reviews go. Why would someone who likes the game even rate it yet. But if you can't get it to run I understand sharing that. Check back in a few weeks.

I see now what's going on. Turn off 120hz in the PS5 settings. It's MUCH smoother now. Same methods in the settings though, Perf with depth of field off.
Arsic
Loves his juicy stink trail scent
Balanced mode with 120hz mode off mean if v sync is off it would just be a noticeable 40fps mode.
If you do 120hz mode, v sync off, balanced mode you get a perfect motion 60fps with more visual fidelity but screen tearing.
Unless you're saying turning that off gives you the 60fps in balanced smoothness and no screen tearing.

Luke Stephens plagiarized hbomberguy and a apologized after hbomb's extensive Youtube Plagiarism video which really didn't cover Luke in depth, but did hint at other instances which people suspect may be in reference to Joseph Anderson's long form video on Uncharted/TLOU.

Weird how this stuff didn't seem to happen to games like Elden Ring or BOTW that are huge and take tons of hours to play.
Again, "the reviewer played it wrong" is pure cope.

No, but it did for these games:
Here are games that some of GAF praised in the past vs their metacritic score (the first game listed is literally the 2010s version of Crimson Desert, MMO turned single player open world Action Adventure RPG).
Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning Reviews - Metacritic
The hit RPG returns! From the minds of the bestselling author R.A. Salvatore, spawn creator Todd mcfarlane, and Elder Scrolls IV: oblivion lead designer Ken rolston, comes kingdoms of amalur: re-reckoning.

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition Reviews - Metacritic
bff Flood! is a simple yet addictive strategy game in which you have to flood the whole game board with one image or color in less than the allowed steps. Swap out the upper left corner game tile at each step to flood fill adjacent game tiles with the same image. Fill the entire board with one...
Kingdom Come: Deliverance Reviews - Metacritic
Kingdom Come: Deliverance is an open world, action-adventure, role-playing game featuring blockbuster production values, a nonlinear story and revolutionary, first-person melee combat.
Gothic II Reviews - Metacritic
Gothic II takes you on an even greater journey of adventure and discovery. The plot continues from the cliff-hanger of the original: After the imprisoned colony members are victorious, collapsing the magical barrier, the former Prison Colony is struck by a terrible earthquake, claiming the lives...
Alpha Protocol Reviews - Metacritic
Alpha Protocol is an espionage role-playing game set in the modern world. Loyalty carries a price and no one knows this more than agent Michael Thorton. A talented young agent cast out by his government, Thorton is the only one with the information needed to stop an impending international...
Dragon's Dogma Reviews - Metacritic
A legend is born in this open-world adventure. Assume the role of the Arisen, a legendary hero in a land haunted by a feared, omnipotent dragon. As you fight to protect your homeland, you will pick up companions, make enemies, and find yourself embroiled in an even deeper mystery.
I'm apparently supposed to believe that a 78 (only on day 1) is the end of the world.

I'm not using balance, just performance mode with vsync on. When I was in the abyss it was smooth. I'd say at the advertised 60fps.
Idk people are pointing out that the 120hz is bugged so I'm waiting to see if that gets fixed.
Edit: Switched to balanced to see. Vsync on it feels like 30fps. Vsync off it feels like closer to 60. I'll keep playing around with it. I'm in the first town Hernan and the performance was tanking a bit earlier in populated areas for me.

Agreed. Plus if Pearl Abyss was concerned about rushed reviews because it is a huge game they should have given them access a bit earlier.
Regardless, most reviewers played for dozens of hours. Plenty of time to form an opinion on the game.

Curious what people think about this review's perspective on the game ("The Worst Game I've Ever Enjoyed").
I can see the points on both sides (the good/bad) here. It feels so far like a 7/10 solo MMO propped up mainly by its combat and exploration.

To be fair, Crimson world does look a bit generic.

No Silksong? = Delivering the pain.
The story isn't non existent in Crimson Desert either. It's has ten times the story and narrative that breath of the wild had. It's seriously baffling seeing all these complaints about crimson desert when they literally praise those exact same things in Zelda. Wild behavior.
I can only conclude it's due to a political agenda, because it doesn't make logical sense.
Also, combat in Breath of the Wild was actual garbage.

The letters in the name of the game. And maybe the color of the develops logo differs a little bit.

Yep used to watch this guy when he was much smaller and he's only got progressively more smug and pretentious. He claims to have this big team behind him , it's literally him and his brother. As far as I am aware anyway.
He comes across as a very rich kid who didn't need to work so did YouTube and has been fairly successful. you know what fair play to him but as someone who used to like him I find him very annoying all the fake humour meme style stuff and general aura of being a cunt. not for me anymore but good luck to him.

Tried the game out on PC for an hour since it's in my family library.
Gut reaction: it wants the freedom of BotW but it has the control scheme of RDR2 and the janky combat of Witcher 3. Reeks of a game that refuses to fix basic fundamental flaws and tries to cover it up with content and graphical overload.
6/10

I watched it. Very good review. I would be annoyed by the same things he is. The game sounds like a well crafted Korean Ubislop. Which can still be fun - I enjoy AC once in a while - but it is not GOTY level material.

Nah bro, he gave concord and highguard both a 7, thats enough to be irrelevant when it comes to judging games, ever since both didnt deserve even 4/10, thats how bad they were, him being professional journo is like stewen hawking being professional basketball player, thats how awfull his skillset is for this job

Obviously, people will gravitate towards the review that most supports how they feel, but this kind of does encapsulate all that I worried would be in the final product. So the review speaks to me (also i've never heard of the guy, decent enough review but the title is super clickbait, he sounds more like he feels it's a 6-7 than a 0 or 1)
sounds like if you are an Assassin's Creed hoe, in the sense of you just wanna collect the 100 feathers. Then this game is for you , I personally gave up on those games around the launch of Origins because i just couldn't anymore with the maps getting so much bigger.

There is some truth to this, but it's also false that making purely japan give it great scores...
I'd say it's more that Nintendo bump...
Although what is unfair is that at the time, BotW was the first of its type, Nu-Zelda doesn't gel with me at all, but we can't deny that it didn't spawn its own style of game, a pioneer in that sense, so I get the raving reviews for BotW...
Now TotK on the other hand..

He says he enjoyed the game in the title - that by itself implies that it is 6-7, if the game was straight up bad, he would not enjoy it.
The review title is actually pretty good/accurate to the content of the review. It is a game with lot of flaws, some very big ones (reliance on fetchquest filler, mediocre writing) but one he still managed to enjoy.
I have the same opinion of, say, Assassin's Creed Origins - I also find it very flawed, overstuffed with boring content, but despite all the issues I did enjoy it enough to finish it. But I have zero desire to play it again and would never award it anything.

Sooooooo many red-flags in that video.
"I know I shouldn't really be able to finish this in two weeks, but editorial policy is forcing me to."
Yeah, treating it as a death march is really going to enhance enjoyment! Hence, resentment over being forced to do side stuff, annoyance that sequences don't finish quicker, etc.
That's enough to bin any review as irrelevant to me because I know for a fact that I'm not going to play it like that. If a game starts to grate on me I'm not going to force myself to power through it just to say "I finished it!" What sort of lunatic makes a rock for their own back like that ?

Yea and all those games are pretty flawed and have major problems. Didn't stop some people from loving them of course, because they had strong parts too, but the criticisms of them are valid.
