The AI Gen Content they're complaining about is like a couple songs on the radio and one of the in-game TV shows. A real nothingburger of a complaint.

Yeah, their reviews of "content" tend to be questionable. They're 100% reliable (so far) on technical issues though (Denuvo/DRM, EOS, performance problems, third-party account requirements, etc.).
 
Just had my fifth crash on the map screen playing on PS5 Pro. It’s a common crash and people are bitching online, how does that fail quality testing?

I’m enjoying the game enough, but having to relaunch constantly and wait through long load sequences kills the momentum. Close to giving up on it until it’s patched.

Okay now that I've had more time, I kinda love this game right now.
I've grabbed a random bench and thrown it at people, I stole a bandit mask which let me commit crimes without my bounty going up, I've picked up street cats and stroked them like a bond villain, won an archiery contest that was clearly rigged, won an arm wrestling contest and then had a heart to heart with the dude about the meaning of strength, made 50 silver pieces(it starts with copper) by grabbing abunch of bugs and selling them to the girl at the tavern, and I have kicked a ton of peasants.

The actual swordplay is heavy and every hit feels impactful, and after a while even the stiffness didn't both me as much. Will play more but so far I ignored the story the moment I could run around and have been having a lot of fun.

I've also pet every dog I've seen
 
Welp based on what ive seen from my fellow kiwis and general gameplay and story. This isnt a 70$ game to me, guess im getting the bravely default games instead and ill wait for a sale for the game.
 
>be intel arc user

>finish the 150gb download

Just a heads up to any intel kiwi's, arc gpu's are currently not supported, and it's unclear if they even will be.
 
It's okay, its a mix of the Witcher 3, RDR2 and FF16 but each part it takes is a bit worse. it honestly has the worse UX and UI out of any game I have played recently expect for niche indie games like MENCE.

A good example of the UX issues, is that every open world game since saints row in 2006 would create a path from you to the map pin allowing you to follow it with out getting lost on dead end paths.
Crimson desert lacks that feature.

The voice acting is Subpar and in service to an uninteresting story and many cut scenes cannot be skipped.

I'm only about 6 hours in but apparently the game gets better once you advance the main story so I guess I should stick to that for the time being.
 
Okay so I’ve now fucked around for6 hours without touching the main quest. You level up your skill tree with artifact fragments, which gives you more combos and attacks making the combat even more satisfying, I’ve basically stolen everything, if no one sees you steal it doesn’t add to your bounty. I did have a 17 silver bounty, but I robbed the castle and sold it all to the church and then used the church to pay off my bounty.

This game is honestly fun but I’ve also never left the first area or done any of the quests so it could get worse

Not having that isn't a big deal to me since the open world game I play the most is Morrowind where you're lucky if the written directions make sense.

I hate this rationale in gaming. Someone was once telling me about one of the Final Fantasy (a series I never got into) games and said it gets good around the 30 hour mark. In my opinion any game that demands hours and hours of time before it gets good isn't a well made game. Even when unmodded Morrowind excels at having one of the best starts in gaming, its fast, simple, and sets you free into the wonderful starting zone of Seyda Neen. Oblivion and Skyrim have the sewers and Helgen respectively which take long enough to become annoying after repeat playthroughs but are not egregious.
 
I saw videos of people cutting trees and mining. I assume it's for equipment upgrades or can you use it for something else? Does the game have worker mini game like BDO? Maybe economy?
 
Watched a smaller YouTuber I enjoy play the first few hours and yeah it looks like I won’t be buying this. Seems like it’s the same sort of fetch quest annoying open world esque game that made me hate ff7 rebirth. Also the dialogue is horrendous

Having played the game for 90 minutes, he's dead on that game journos are going to hate this game. It doesn't hold your hand at all.

I wrote a big long thing about the 90 minutes I played, but then realized I don't want to bore you guys. Retards will hate this game, everyone else will just realize they don't like it and move on. I think I'm going to stick it out, but I don't blame people who don't. My first 90 minutes have been very weird. I think I will end up enjoying this game, but there's a lot of weirdness that I can't figure out. Is it just how Korean games are? Is some of this just established shit in Black Desert Online I don't know about? No idea, but it's weird.

I feel like there is fun to be had in the game. I can already feel that *maybe* everything will come together in about 10 hours, but I don't think most people are going to be willing to risk putting that time in.

Edit: This is already getting longer than I want, but I do want to give this game some props. I'm running this on ultra 1080p 60fps on my mid tier PC. Maybe it's just because most "newer" games I've played lately have been UE5 stuff, but yeah, I think that's technically impressive.

After watching some gameplay outside of graphics this game kept reminding me of Kingdoms of Amalur Reckoning. Ironically it was an overly ambitious open world game back in the PS3/360 era that tried to do everything and bit off more than it could chew. It wasn't a horrible game, but it was one of those games where the quantity of stuff to do far surpassed the quality.

Crimson Desert lets you fuck off around the 30 min mark as well, but if you want to fuck off even further you need to do main quest

the controls and GUI fucking suck, hold control and E to talk to an NPC? F2 to open radial menu? 2-3 keystrokes to enter your map, journal or inventory? those motherfuckers SINNED (and i heard it's even worse on controller).

i'm sure the exploration and combat side of things are passable, but the MMO remnants really seeped into every system of this game, every quest objective and bit of dialogue is so fucking menial and inane, and apparently you have to do that shit to progress the MQ which you also have to do to open up exploration? i think i'll check back in a year or two to see if they can cook up some much needed QOL for those who don't want to play an offline Korean MMORPG.
 
I just saw a video of the Viking looking mofo MC running around an intergalactic spaceship fighting battle androids with his claymore.

What exactly is the setting for this game? The couple hours of the stream I watched was set in some shithole medieval Witcher esque village.
