Luseth 2,213 Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 So I played the MMO they released some time ago and had a lot fun, in fact my wife played it as well and she's not big into gaming so I can say the studio definately has some talent. This does seem a bit over ambitious for their size though so I will wait and see on initial reviews but it is one all being well I may well be picking up.

This was supposed to be an MMO as well but they've dialled it back and it's single player only. But yep agree, let's see how it reviews...

phil bottle 10,299 Posted Monday at 11:30 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 11:30 AM I wonder if this is the game that will finally get me off my Tarkov addiction, this looks pretty incredible imo GazzaGarratt 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/11593-crimson-desert/#findComment-162906 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luseth 2,213 Posted Tuesday at 09:23 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:23 AM I have it on order so will let you know how I get on with it, I am still playing Avowed but will jump on and test it out so I can give initial thoughts. phil bottle 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/11593-crimson-desert/#findComment-162909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazzaGarratt 11,318 Posted Tuesday at 10:24 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:24 AM Looks fantastic tbh. The puzzles, albeit seem very hard, will keep the game fresh and wanting you to discover more and more of the world. I think I may have to add it on my list too. £50 for PS5 is extremely good price online right now for a large open world game. phil bottle 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/11593-crimson-desert/#findComment-162910 Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil bottle 10,299 Posted Tuesday at 12:53 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 12:53 PM I've seen the PC version for £35 via G2A and I'm struggling to stop myself from going for it 🙈😅 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/11593-crimson-desert/#findComment-162911 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luseth 2,213 Posted Wednesday at 01:12 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:12 PM £35 sounds a great price when you consider the size of the game. My only real concern is that it could be too big, in saying that I mean there is in my eyes potential for repetition and players getting a bit bored of the same world but obviously this can easily be designed away so we will see.

MrBiron 1,524 Posted yesterday at 09:31 AM Share Posted yesterday at 09:31 AM This game is mid to good reviews. I watched a review that said it's a good game but, at the moment, it has some game breaking bugs so it's best to wait until it's had a few patches before buying it.

Luseth 2,213 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago It has been a mixed bag with the reviews, then just looking at steam reviews it sit's at 67%. Metacritic sit's at 78% which is a decent score in my eyes from a studio that produced an MMO most recently. That said, what is interesting is when you filter the playtime:- Players with 3+ hours and it comes out mostly positive Players with 1-3 hours and it suddenly becomes quite a mixed bag I know people generally consume quite quickly in today's world but for a game of this magnitude I can't imagine an hour is enough to judge it on? I think most of the common issues I have seen- - Game has quite a few bugs, this doesn't really surprise me with how big it is, Skyrim was exactly the same when it first came out, Fallout - Some of the games elements are not clear i.e. puzzles are too challenging, bosses can be difficult - I feel like this is a common issue with modern games. Games like Elden ring get praised for not handholding you as you go but then others don't get the same sort of response. - Some of the quests feel like an MMO, not really surprising considering the studio and where it has come from. I think the hype may have done some damage to this game in terms of how well it does, everyone saw the videos, clips etc and expected a game akin to the Witcher 3, not surprising, I think they have marketed the game well but then that will lead to disappointment for many. I think if you played Black desert you are probably more aware of what you are going to get here and won't be disappointed. If you want a world you can get lost in rather than expecting a story akin to the witcher level of quality then you will get quite a bit of enjoyment here I think from everything that is being reported. I have yet to install it but will put it on over the weekend I imagine.

ChaosGladiator 848 Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago I did see one review saying the game is very dull up until your about 8+ hours in and then it gets a lot better Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/11593-crimson-desert/#findComment-162931 Share on other sites More sharing options...
