It looks great, just hope its not too hard , more god of war than elden ring im wishing.

@AnginaPectoris why should people who are playing the game, entertain criticism from those that haven't, its like those idiots that criticise movies, when their only experience of it is , dave down the pub didnt like it.

@Rich33 but they broke the RT with their first patch and not fixed it

@themightyant not really interesting i just recognise a great game when I play it , i find it more interesting that those who haven't played it ,have such strong opinions against it ,according to them its the most successful broken game ever made. It's great to see it getting the praise and recognition it deserves from youtubers and streamers , who would have thought that the only opinions that matter, are from someone experiencing a product, i also find it extremely odd that baldurs gate 3 3rd act was completely broken , like your game doesnt work broken, and yet it scored so highly at launch.

@themightyant like every game then like i said, so you literally dont buy games at launch , fair enough.

@AnginaPectoris so a dev listening to customers and implementing what they asked is now a bad thing , there's no game fixing included in this patch just things their players have asked for , this is good, if only all devs did this, well done to pearl abyss for continuing to support their product.

@THEBrew yeah saros will get great reviews just like returnal and nobody will buy it , just like returnal, will sell even less with it not being on pc.

@themightyant in a better state in 6-12 months , like every game released over the last 20 years you mean.

@Hundred_Hand_Slap its just QOL improvements they arent bethesda

How about applauding them for actually listening to their players , they dont need to employ some weirdo on the Internet, who wants to stare at a half dressed teenagers backside all day, and AI is ok now is it , kliff is fine as a main character , people moan when characters are constantly chatting to themselves as you play , it seems its the same when they dont.

@Rich33 im sure i heard there's some change to silverhands ending , or maybe i dreamt it

@Metonymy is that because you went outside the map in the sea 😁

@Metonymy I agree that the controls can be confusing at first but once you get the hang of it i find it easy , for example I find it strange that as far as im aware not one review mentions that you hold down the main attack buttons you dont press them, and I wonder is that why they had issues, the story is no better or worse than most open world rpgs , the exception being the witcher 3 but the combat in that game was janky as hell ,with stiff animations and also infested with bugs , and then there's the bosses , im crap at bosses usually ,but I find these more puzzles than the usual, parry, roll, parry roll , they all have a weakness , exploit this , have refined equipment and plenty of food and I manage quite well, bit of thought and planning goes a long way, it has so many wow moments that 6/10 is an insult to the devs and gamers alike, ive been playing games for decades ive played great games and everything in between, and i do not except that crimson desert is anything other than a 9 and probably my goty.

@UltimateOtaku91 no its the same version with less bugs ,and now you can fly around the solar system

@CaptainWow if you get asked by a woman to deliver a letter to her husband,take plenty of food and a good strong sword 😁 little tip dont go wandering off to far you will die , I mean you can but youll get slaughtered , also listen to npcs they offer clues to quest "yeah he hasn't been seen since he set off for the house in the woods north of the river"....that type of stuff

@RiverGenie same with skyrim on ps , they did some clever things with lighting but there was no cool water or weather mods, better hair and eyes ,none of it

@CaptainWow there's caves with treasure to be discovered not just a bag of coins its like magic items, swords, cool armour, proper rewards , there are quest markers , also you use your sword like shadow of the colossus to point out poi,obviously there's the usual fetch quests , but also quests that start off simple like delivery of a letter that turn into a 40 min story , its that whole sense of oooh whats that cave in that mountain miles away , ill go there , ooh what's that hole you go down and find a cave system, with diamonds , it just goes on and on and you realise 4hrs have past and your nowhere near that mountain with a cave

@CaptainWow the controls do take getting use to , think of it like AC but more complex, every part of the controller is used , the fighting is quite simple at first but as you get more skills it gets more complicated , you hold down the attack buttons rb rt rather than press them, and then press triangle circle etc for the corresponding move , there's a particular move where you press down on the stick this slows down time , and then rotate the right stick so kliff starts doing his neo matrix hand movements he then sucks all debris, bullets arrows into like a tornado , you then press rb to fire them into the enemy , all these button presses are listed at the bottom of the screen on the right as you execute , you dont have to remember those.

@dskatter yeah id hold off on crimson desert...its a bit like pringles

@Westernwolf4 its not a bad game by any means , but i can only remember 2 good side quests and one of them is tied to the main quest the other was broken , im presuming they fixed it.

@JackiePriest I know that mars and the moon are accurately mapped they got the scans from nasa , I thought that was quite cool

@RiverGenie didnt mean the star wars project i meant the individual star wars mods , weapons , robots , stormtroopers, lighsabers , ships that kind of stuff , ps has none of it, anything that includes outside assets , including ui...is not allowed

@SEVENTEENSOILS ive said exactly the same about starfield, why didnt they just have a couple of solar systems with about 20 planets each different with interesting things to discover , would've made the much better game

@CaptainWow the controls are like a simplified version of elite dangerous , you set power to guns , shields and engines , your allocated certain points depending on the type of ship you have which can be upgraded, the flying is a bit floaty and it had complaints at launch i dont know whether its been fixed,its not a must play, so if youre undecided i suggest waiting for a sale.

@SEVENTEENSOILS its the exploration thats the issue , no point having thousands of planets or whatever it is now , and the majority are just big empty rocks, i was expecting like some quests or something , there's literally nothing to find.

@danzoEX different reviewers

@CaptainWow you want that feeling back that skyrim gave you when you first played, remember that ? Crimson desert will not disappoint.

@RiverGenie from what ive read sony still dont allow outside assets on ps5 , so no star wars mods for playstation users.

@SEVENTEENSOILS oh there's fun to be had for sure , just keep your expectations really low, its no skyrim or oblivion its not even morrowind.

@SEVENTEENSOILS the exploration is very poor because of the procedural generation, it really is bad, i was expecting like a star trek experience discovering new life forms, some cool stories , unless its quest related and it signposts it, there's nothing like that.

The new game plus in starfield , someone had this great idea and then it was poorly implemented , it couldve been so much more , but then this is bethesda, im suprised they had the idea to be honest.

@ryan_nil here's my review...9/10 its great because I said , now go and buy it.

@Titntin yeah those dudes promptly chased me out of town, i thought they look high level im off 😂

Oh my god not...the...pilotpriest

Looks interesting, will make an excellent ps plus game in a few months , not something id pay for though.

Hey not fair, there was nothing wrong with my comment , im going to scream and scream and scream until im sick

@DennisReynolds 'Also i expect PQ are acting passive aggressive because they're getting fed up with supposed adults still getting salty'
Oh the irony of this comment.
Its an open forum, if that is the case then maybe PQ should act erm, I dunno, a bit more professional.

@DennisReynolds opinions are fine but shouldn't take away from the facts, when millions of people are telling you youre wrong, maybe take note, dont double down and try and justify your wrong opinion ,with passive aggressive articles.
'In truth it didnt have a whole lot of competition'
Basically saying you've won but its hardly deserved.
Did they say this about any other game thats won game of the month, nope...why is that ?
Will they say the same when starfield wins April's game of the month, I mean its up against some indie games, oh and a vr game.
Its not like its got push squares and ign 9/10 marathon to contend with has it.

@Silenos nobody is that naive that they believe crimson desert is without issues, but a game of this size, scope and depth of features im suprised it works as well as it does, theyre actually listening to their players as well, imagine that a company listening to its customers, it should be applauded and held in the highest regard ,otherwise we will just keep getting the same cookie cutter garbage, we've been getting for years.

@Metonymy it isnt consistent with the review process of this site, it raises too many questions and then we have the constant follow up articles , with the sly digs , maybe the ps5 version did deserve a 6 i dont know , the pro version however does not , so the question is why focus on the shortcomings of the ps5 version when the review clearly states ps5 pro version reviewed, theyve done it for no other game ,the ps5 version has been an after thought for a good long while.

@Metonymy no game is for everyone but reviewers must put aside their personal preferences and this must reflect in a review , i cant stand elden ring but Id look past my own opinions..its lack of story, the blurry graphics , its overly hard bosses to drag out playtime, its totally empty world , i certainly wouldnt give it a 6....probably a 4 😏

@Metonymy its their job they should be able to do it correctly , also ign reviewed the pc version , the most stable and stunning of all the versions , the game hasn't changed that much , the core gameplay is exactly the same , them even considering reviewing it again ,tells you all you need to know,it was a nonsense review if youre going to review a game with 300hrs of content potentially , dont play 5 percent of it and give it a 6, if you dont have time , dont review it , its simple.

I enjoyed the original, but it all went downhill from then, I even played the one where you had to throw cuddly toys at some weirdo,ugh...sh*ite.

Probably my least hated soulslike of the myriad of soulslike games , i picked it up cheap when they did the major rehaul a while back , love the art style and the moody atmosphere , but im proper shi*te so I launched it , the disc stuck in the door between elden ring and demon souls,but we cant all be good at everything , im a f*ckin beast at monopoly.

@super84trooper not really , you get your first ship in about 1hr and then another hour to upgrade , then you get to do all the cool things like board ships , visit earth, Mars etc do some quests , some are interesting with some good stories however they arent fleshed out and just end abruptly, then youll play around with customised ships and then find its a pain in the arse so you just buy them or download a modded one , then off to visit some empty planets which you spend ages hoping to find something interesting or new , you dont so you just carry on with the main quest , you find a pirate base , then another and another all exactly the same , same layout same enemy positions, youll see everything the game has to offer in 10/15hrs , I played at launch so didn't have anyone telling me there is nothing, stop flying to different planets you wont find anything, I spent over 100hrs with starfield , I wish I didn't, youll start the game and think this is great 9/10 by the time youre done its dropped to a 4, it is very much the epitome of mediocre.

@Metonymy thing is ,a lot of people dont read reviews they just scroll down to the score.
