I've preordered the deluxe edition i have every faith in it , you dont level up traditionally thats why they've said this , 7 years in development, started off as an mmo thats why it has all the features it does, massive budget, its own engine , if e33 can win best rpg even when it isnt , then I'll considered this one as well ,if they can stick the performance on console, definitely a game of the year contender.
@Oneluckyfarmer thought id stick my two penneth in 😂 i think the pro is a great machine if you can afford it mate go for it , to get the most out of it, you really do need a tv with 120hz though , it will also be the best place to play gta6 on launch day , if thats something you like
@RedRiot193 the parts I could get through i found atmospheric with good lore , because I could only progress so far I found it became bland and depressing , with an easier mode ,i could have progressed further , why is that so hard to understand, as a game developer ,I feel surely from software would want everyone to experience their games, guess they dont want to upset the pedantic cry babies on the Internet, I also find it hilarious that because they said crimson desert isnt easy, you automatically assume its has to be as hard as a souls game, even though they've also stated its not a soulslike , ooh look theyve said two opposite things , would you like me to explain it to yo
@djlard agreed, when a reviewer mentions that a game is soulslike its a big no from me , tiny dodge windows and sponge bosses are not for me , I know some people like that type of punishment but I dont have the time or patience for that, pearl abyss have already stated crimson desert is not a soulslike, dont know why people are thinking it is , just because the marketing guy said its not easy ,having played black desert id say its closer to devil may cry than any souls game , I think its weird ,how certain people are taking some sort of strange joy, in the possibility that some gamers wont play it ,because they think its a dark souls game.
@iNightfarer oh youre absolutely right ,I mean who wants all of customers, theyre far better off with just some of them, makes perfect business sense, and if people complain and say we wont buy it then, they can get some of the customers to say git gud...grrrr rock hard us🙄
@Bluemoon2008 I dont understand crap games with talented devs , I mean they must be gamers , they must play test it , does nobody say , well this is boring, or do they and then get shut down.
@MichaelNau I suppose you could role play any game if you wanted to , I mean I role play that im in a good mood in work everyday , so whats the difference 😁
@DestructionAllstars so what would you call a group of devs, who dont optimise ther games properly,and expect people to hand over 50-70 for their sloppily developed games, they test the games and say hey bob this runs like crap , erm its ok we will patch it in a few months,worse than lazy, it can be downright criminal.
@SodaPop6548 unreal is garbage , I wish devs would make theyre own engines , it annoys me when you see a trailer and it says MADE IN UNREAL 5 , like that's some sort of guarantee of quality.
@LikelySatan maybe try reading slowly , maybe that would help ,you know sounding the words out first in your head, otherwise it comes across as a bit garbled, it seems youre the only one with an issue , aww bless
@JayJ id say a 5, definitely not an 8, I thought they might have improved it , added npc reactions, breakable crates at least , its like if fisher price made an rpg , obsidian should have done better
@djlard hmm I dunno there's to much to do in the game , souls games are well...soul less , its basically the same gameplay loop for hours , beat small enemies to kill big enemies ,i find them overly hard and repetitive, in my opinion they make them that difficult because otherwise the games have nothing else, even the story you have to search for, its all very meh
@TheLotteryMan1 tainted grail is the far superior rpg , avowed isnt worthy to lick its boots , sure it has its faults , but with regards to depth, story , side quests , lore and atmosphere it craps all over avowed,its superb , you like skyrim style rpgs , youll love tainted grail, save often though , you can make decisions that are permanent, some of which that may seem trivial at the time ,can have serious consequences 😏
@ShogunRok I played it at launch on game pass , I was very disappointed considering the pedigree of obsidian, I feel it was rushed to make it the usual game pass fodder, id say if obsidian had took there time , it couldve been so much more , as it is , its just skyrim lite...lite, such a shame.
@Deadhunter I think youll be fine , im dogshit at soulslike games , i played black desert which has similar fighting mechanics to crimson desert, I found it fine , and besides rob from playststion access is also crap at souls games and he beat 3 bosses on crimson, so how hard can it be 😂
@JohntheRaptor games with difficulty settings arent dumbed down , they are there so gamers who have spent 60 quid on a game can finish it if theyre struggling , rather selfish of you i feel, if you think crimson desert will be anywhere near a soulslike level of difficulty ,i think youre going to be disappointed.
@RedRiot193 problem is i found the gameplay loop extremely tedious in elden ring, I wouldve loved an easy mode because the atmosphere and lore is great , crimson desert looks nothing like it in terms of difficulty, the only comparison they made to elden ring was that the world ,its totally open from the begining , you can go where you like , you wont last very long , but you can, elden rings roll ,roll attack, roll mechanic just isnt there in this game.
As long as they kept the violence , gore and fast paced action , I would indeed , I mean who wouldnt want to see all that carnage with a modern viewpoint , it would be glorious.
@ShogunRok do npcs react to your actions now, or can you smack them in the face with a sword and they just stare at you , are all boxes and crates destructible now or just the ones with something inside , also is there more than 6 enemy types now , is the combat still janky ?
@REALAIS well you can change the characters face, hair, beard , eyes etc , there where sliders to change these on the latest video,change the colour of armour and weapons , thats not just customisation.
@pyrrhic_victory I think its more to do with this games actual mechanics rather than trying to lock people out , it seems you level up your weapons and armour not your character as such , although you do learn better skills and potion crafting , the potion mechanic seems similar to the witchers , you make shield, strength, magic potions etc to take on harder bosses, im all for a bit of strategy and planning , rather than just make enemies weaker and you stronger with an easy difficulty setting.
@JB_Whiting yes kcd2 is great as an example , I was getting battered with a stick in the beginning, but after 200hrs I am a god , which is the whole point of a true rpg I feel , I just hope it doesnt have level scaling for enemies, I hate that crap
@tangyzesty when did they say this ? From what I've seen its the very definition of an rpg , crafting , stealing, settlement management, own house, fishing , side quests , mini games and its got dragons, you can even send your people out on quests , whats not rpg about that?
@Rangers420 I understand your concerns ,but the minimum specs for pc are surprisingly low, also the fact Sony pursued the game to make it exclusive, but pearl abyss turned them down , surely Sony would've seen it running on their console to even make the offer, also they aren't using unreal 5 , I feel the only console thats gonna struggle is the series s ,
You level up your weapons not character as far as im aware , with better moves for those weapons , you put the time in and it becomes easier just like every rpg ever made , it isn't a perfect parry , perfect dodge kind of game
@thechetearly the only thing that hasn't changed over the years is npc intelligence , surely more realistic behaviour, should be available in the 21st century , i mean 40 years ago I thought we'd have hover boards and flying cars by now.
@illegalmonkey indies are more about gameplay and ideas , where as AAA are pretty pretties , why cant we have both , indies are fine but most of them look like dogshit
@bindiana I really cant see the ps6 being much different , in 2050 we may have consoles with AI chips installed, you speak a series of prompts of the type of game you want to play, and there it is , its the future 😁
