Crimson Desert Enhanced

I have spent decades modding my Skyrim to be a fraction of what Crimson Desert (CD) largely is at release, but while I had fun with it and would recommend it, I have rarely been both this impressed and perplexed by what is clearly a labour of love. [h1]Cutting Edge, Drawing Blood[/h1] From the initial boot-up, CD is a title that stands out amongst the crowd for reasons that are both its merit and its demise. Powering up this adventure is the [i]Black Space Engine[/i], an in-house tech of Pearl Abyss that delivers incredible visuals - if you have the hardware to enable them. Gone are typical industry restraints, and welcome are cutting-edge implementations that make the game run completely on real-time ray-traced lighting. This is something often avoided, especially in close, dimly lit areas, as it shows the cracks of the tech quite easily. Even so, alongside the simulation engine, which adds a level of interaction both physical and elemental with the world worthy of the recent Zelda titles, it makes for a steep yet worthy trade-off for a world that is so dynamic. Impressively, a seemingly older tech - hypothesized to be [url=https://youtu.be/44PT8XRZRGA]Screen Space Displacement Mapping[/url] - makes its comeback with per-pixel texture depth detail that rivals Unreal Engine’s Nanite, with different downsides. Worth singling out is the water, which has officially surpassed that of Red Dead Redemption 2 on a technical level. I managed to run everything well at max - especially the lighting and ray tracing - with Nvidia’s DLSS set to Performance and Ray Reconstruction (RR). The final image was clean enough with the use of DLSS 4 in particular, as 4.5 does not yet work with RR. However, this incredible presentation crumbles the moment even just RR is not enabled, with softer Ambient Occlusion and in-surface detail, and it gets worse, noisier, and flickier the lower you go. The difference between high-end and medium can be quite staggering. [h1]Labour of Love, Overbearing Incompletion[/h1] My kudos go to the devs at Pearl Abyss for being extremely active with the community feedback and for delivering patches and new features at almost a weekly cadence. Their experience with Black Desert Online clearly shows here, although speed comes at the cost of quality at times, with, for example, Nvidia’s RR being broken for the third time by the last patch (16.0x) that added the new version of FSR Ray Regeneration, while completely overhauling the trading system. It’s commendable to see a single-player game get so much support, and it almost gives that extra reason to continue returning to it. However, while systems getting completely overhauled and new mounts or armors being added are welcome, planning more story cutscenes in the future or bringing up the other two main characters' ability roster, traversal included, up to Kliff’s - as if separate ability purchasing wasn’t enough friction - makes it seem like the product was somewhat undercooked. [h1]Hard to Love, Harder to Leave[/h1] The [b]story/quest[/b] content features some of the best cutscenes I’ve seen in open-world games in a while, especially when Ubisoft is part of this conversation. There’s a level of care in it, with NPCs being very animated during dialogues. Sadly, all of this effort is put into a story that is honestly a mess. 3h of extra cutscenes, à la Final Fantasy XV, would not fix this. It has some intriguing bits, but the way to get there at times is genuinely just cause a new marker appeared on the map, without further context. The [b]world[/b] is immense, full of things to do and see. I’m sure that some of the context I missed is somewhere, but I missed it not because I wanted to, but because while going between point A and B, it might have been drowned in another 20 knowledge entries on every river, hill, flora, or fauna I found on the way. 3000+ entries to read is surprisingly too much even for a lore-nerd Souls player, who used to have entire evenings of book reading sessions with friends on Baldur’s Gate 3, or screenshot and bring to work the codex entries of Dragon Age to read during lunch. It’s nice to be able to read about a world, but when there are 76 different entries [i]just on insects[/i], mostly stating general facts… while it’s nice to see so much fauna, on the nth butterfly, I stopped reading. There is no distinction for [b]side content[/b] between a boring MMORPG-like fetch quest and an in-depth, multi-step questline. Every time you take on a quest, it’ll be a gamble whether it leads to a fun new boss/dungeon, or to collecting fruitflies from a market stall. [h3]High Effort, Hollow Trophies[/h3] The game seems to struggle in focusing on what matters, rewarding you little to nothing for important content, including bosses, but with an entire aura-dripping armor set for a side mission about hunting an animal tagged as “legendary”, but that has nothing really special about it. Equipment can be quite scarce, and a lot of armor sets, especially of bosses, are completely unobtainable as of writing this. After defying all odds and winning the horse races minigame, against the enemy AI having infinite stamina, sprint, and rubber-banding, I now find myself chasing 17 side missions with a random spawn, only to hopefully soon get the one to unlock the last out of three arm wrestling bosses that will unlock the minigames achievement. In all this, I still have quite plenty of side missions that I’m sure are far more interesting around the map I could do, but this is what I’ll be rewarded for chasing. I’m currently at the last two achievements separating me from platinum, but it’s worth mentioning that I got 4 achievements in 190 (!!!) hours, 3 of which story-related. Most of the achievements focus on either weapon-specific combat challenges or specific exploration challenges, like sliding for 50m. [h3]Deep Immersion, Hostile Design[/h3] While I disdain hand-holding in videogames, game design is the art of guiding the player towards something without directly telling them. Let’s make an example from Elden Ring, another open world notorious for not hand-holding. From the first few Ruin points of interest, it is established that in them, there is a chest with a unique reward. So when you find a Ruin that doesn’t have it, the instinct is to start looking around. And while it might only be hidden better at first, eventually, you’ll learn about invisible walls. The game, after that point, will start using them. Were it not for social media, I would have never learned that walls, in CD: - sometimes might have a mark on them, visible only with the lantern, which means it can be lowered - a middle part, which means it can be rotated - lines on the floor in front of it, meaning it can be pushed It would be hard to find the earliest instance of the latter, on the side of a church tower, on my own. There are so many fun interactions and things that can be done, but the line between interesting and obtuse is a thin one. I wish better game design was used in CD to teach me that, specifically, the thrust attack could be used to use your sword as a replacement lever when broken, or break a barrier in a puzzle where normal attacks won’t; or that sometimes cables carrying electricity are disconnected somewhere on the way. And I was a lucky player who, early on, understood the capricious control scheme hierarchy in the settings and set a good control layout I carried on for the whole game, so I could easily try things when stuck. [h1]Brave the Rough, Reap the Gem[/h1] In the end, the title is definitely a high-quality production, technically impressive, with deep and dynamic player interaction with the world. It suffers from many good ideas at times not implemented in the best way, but I’m happy to have so many options. I strongly suggest it, if you have a good idea of what you might be getting into. [b]7/10

сборная солянка из всего подряд, которая не работает должным образом эта игра буквально является копией механик из зельды, из ассасинов, из рдр 2, но эти механики сделаны максимально на коленке и вызывают одно лишь раздражение я не понимаю тех людей кто хвалит вот ЭТО, но чуваки, просто пойдите поиграйте в ботву, поиграйте в тёрку, зачем душиться ЭТИМ, заместо игры в нормальные игры ? кримсон десерт это определённо скам года, но не более того

I almost never leave comments on games. This time I feel I need to warn you not to make the same mistake I did. This is not a top game. Nor is it worth money they want for it. This is a B class game. Looks nice, seems to be good at first glance, but it turns to be an empty world of unfullfilled promises. Story is flat, dialogs rather naive, quests as if written by some AI tool. For me fighting system was also not very enjoyable, but this could be more personal inclination, and objectively would rather be okayish taking into account genre standards. All in all, if you want a single-player MMO-like game, you can go for it, but if you look for something at least a bit deeper than a thin layer of nice visuals and basic gameplay, it will be a waste of time and money. If only I could I'd eagerly give it back. And don't understand such good opinions it has. Let's fight together for a better industry giving us quality products not rehaeted pizzas from supermarket served on a silver plate.

Pure distilled open world slop Plenty of things to do, none of them interesting

НИХРЕНАЖСЕБЕ!!! Вы хоть читали лицензионное соглашение этой игры?? Это же добровольное рабство по денежному обеспечению всего состава компании из за любого намёка на её "имущественные потери". ВСЕ, кто согласился с этим лицензионным соглашением неотвертятся даже тогда, когда лицензия будет уже недействительна... ОХРЕНЕТЬ!!!

노맨즈스카이와 사이버펑크2077을 예구하고 화났던걸 생각해서 처음 붉은사막이 욕먹을때는 안사길 잘했다는 생각이 들었습니다. 3~4개월 지나면서 대부분이 패치되었다고 해서 일부 플레이 해봤는데요 지금까지는 매우 만족스러운 경험이었습니다. 장점 : 1. 넘처나는 컨텐츠 - 구석까지 뒤져가며 플레이하는 플레이어라서 엔딩까지 500시간은 걸릴듯 2. 압도적은 그래픽과 사운드 - 구경만 해도 즐거움 단점 : 1. 전투 컨트롤이 어렵고 키가 너무 많아 복잡함 - 컨트롤자체가 좋지않아 세팅해놓고 쥐어패서 괜찮음, 다만 쇼츠같은데서 컨트롤 좋은분 보면 부러움 그래서 일부러 패드로 플레이 하지 않고 키보드+마우스로 플레이 했더니 나쁘지 않았습니다. 2. 상호작용이 불쾌할 정도로 불편함 - 상자가 있는데 클릭이 안되서 이리저리 왔다갔다가 하는데 이건 답답하고 답이 없음 3. 일부 어비스나 미궁은 힌트가 없어 공략없이 풀기 불가능할 정도 - 일부스킬이 없으면 풀수 없는 어비스도 있고 힌트가 없기때문에 맨땅에 해딩인데 재미잇는것도 있었는데 공략보며 푸는데도 왜 이렇게 만들었을까 생각드는 경우도 많았음 아직 중반정도라 후반 어비스는 안해봐 서 걱정이 됨 4. 개연성이 부족한 스토리 진행 - DLC 를 기다림 / 주인공이나 스토리가 옛날 일본 용사 왕도물 처럼 오그라들고 개연성이 없음, 마치 MMORPG 하는 듯한 느낌이 듬 노맨즈스카이도, 사이버펑크2077도 예구했다가 빡쳤었지만 결국은 재미있게 플레이 했던 유저로서 붉은사막이 어떻게 갈지 알 수 없지만 처음 영상이나 소문에서 듣던 게임에서는 확실히 달라졌고 지금 플레이하시면 왠만하면 재미있게 플레이 하실 수 있을 것 같습니다. 다만 스토리나 개연성 문제에 대해 화가 나실것 같은 분들은 올해 가을이나 겨울에 DLC나온다고 하니까 저처럼 늦게 개선되고 구매하시는게 좋을 것 같습니다. 추천대상 : 와우나 다른 MMORPG처럼 노가다나 반복 퀘스트도 열심히 할 수 있는사람 그래픽이 무조건 좋아야 하는사람 비추천대상 : 주로 AAA급 게임위주로 플레이 하거나 메인스토리 위주로 플레이하는 유저 조작감문제나 버그에 대해 참지 못하는 사람

Crimson Desert was a game that i truly thought was overpromising. Upon playing the game i realized that wasn't the case whatsoever. Pros: Graphics - This game is unbelivably beautiful. This is one of the first video games where I launched it and thought to myself "Wow, this is an actual next gen experience". Once you unlock the ability to go into the sky and view the world around you, it is seriously mind blowing. The view distance, the hills, everything you can visit. Everything you can touch. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ what a game in this regard. Combat - the combat is the game is extremely well done. It is varied with parries and dodges and different weapon builds that allow you to have different special effects that happen during combat scenarios. Overall the game is solid in this regard. Customization - The game features great customization and EVERYTHING is unlockable in-game. The amount of customization you can do with the abysal gears is great, transforming your basic weapons into super weapons. The gear customization and the dye system is VAST. Theres so much to do here in that regard you can stay busy for hours just customizing your gear to perfection. World Building - The world is vast with multiple different locations, each with their own ecosystems, politics, weather etc. Its insane, i cant keep saying that enough. Mount System - They took a often forgotten mechanic and made it fun, with unlockable mounts and mount gear that you can customize. Loved it. Quest System - Theres so much to do in this game. The quest system is very well done, with multiple factions you can help in any given area. Some are well hidden also, which brings me to... Secrets To Find - WOW theres so much to find in this game. Theres a insane amount of secrets to be discovered and they are all VERY well hidden. Hidden doorways, hidden pathways, walls that are fake, puzzles to unlock secret entrances. Its all here and your curiosity will be satiated very well in a game like this. Crafting / Cooking system - The crafting systems in this game are very well done. Its vast and varied with plenty to unlock and make. Theres even a housing system lol this game is crazy. Cons: Story - The story is extremely bland at the start and it takes quite a while to ramp up. The area i am up to i am enjoying the story personally but admittingly it does take a lot to get there sadly. Music - The music is this game, while it hits well in some areas, for the most part is non existant. I wish there was a little more involved here. Weird Controls - The game released with weird controls for the controller and the lack of remapping. This has since been upgraded, but overall is still not the greatest. It definitely has gotten better though. Overall Crimson Desert will blow your mind in the greatest of ways and it really is staggering how much is actually here to play and explore. If you do play this game, prepare to get lost. Seriously. Your life is gone. Thanks for reading.
