Re: PS5 Hit Crimson Desert Might Have Divided Opinion, But It's Cracked 4 Million Sales in Two Weeks

I am 34 hours in and do not understand the praise this game gets.
Every single quest is boring.
Story is non existent.
Kliff is a wet noodle.
The puzzles are just 3d versions of artifex mundi puzzles.
Enemy design is one note. In 34 hours i am fighting the same dudes with just different tunics.
Combat is easy until you fight a boss. But that does not take any skill as you can just brute force them with enough cooking.
Graphics are good, world is gigantic so if you like exploring this is the place to be.
6 seems okay to me.

Yann is the most annoying character i.have encountered in a loooon time. The fact that he is in the game makes sure it will never be a great game. God i hate that one dimensional drunkard.
A six seems right though. Huge world, lots to do, but story is terrible, quests are all boring (talk, ride horse, talk, collect things, ride horse back, talk. Over and over...)
Controls are clunky and the game is not streamlined at all.

Re: 'We Will Work to Make Improvements Quickly': Crimson Desert Sells 2 Million Copies on Launch Day

The controls are really bad. It takes so much effort to do the simple things.
Why do i need to go into my inventory to open up a pouch of coins to get said coins? Why dont i loot them immediately from a corpse?
Why does harvesting materials takes three or four steps and not just one streamlined proces?
Why do i need to press l1 and r1 together, then let go of l1 and then tap l1 again to do some stuff?
Controls really really suck

Re: Opinion: Sony's Disgraceful Bluepoint Closure Should Concern Every PS Studios Fan

@roomwithamoose
Yes i do.
They were giving a proven and popular ip to work with and did not do a job that was good enough. Well according to sony at least.
Dont get me wrong their are a lot of studios getting shuttered and people are affected with their Lively hoods. That sucks.
But Blue Point had only ever made remasters. Nothing original. So were does the narrative come from that we lost one of the great studios?
