Crimson Desert is a real game

[Dreiko]

I have no horse in this race as I'm not interested in the game, but it is suspicious how they keep hiding console footage before release.

Certainly not a game I would preorder going by this behaviour.

I'm not saying it's going to look like shite or run like garbage, I'm hoping it'll run and look great, but the act of hiding the console footage before release in itself is scummy.

Preorder is in general not a good idea unless they give something very noteworthy as a bonus or if the game is being made by a super known entity like Marvel Tokon that you know you will wanna play (and in tokon’s case have had 2 beta tests to try the game out on).

A random shield is definitely not worth the preorder.

But yeah all that said there’s been like 8 hours worth of ps5 pro footage out by various people that runs fine. The notion that a game which runs fine on pro would run like release day cyberpunk did, or really notably worse at all on performance settings, on base ps5 is ridiculous. Still no reason to preorder either way, but anyone being worried is very odd to me.

Im not worried about console footage really. I am concerned about the lack of reviews.

While all the previews have been optimistic. They all kinda say that "Yes it is good if you can get over a clunky control scheme, and are okay with sort of aimless finding your own fun." But also those reviews are only the first 4 hours and i worry that the game might be fun and interesting at first, but with no real purpose that fun will evaporate quickly making it a hard game to finish.

Sweet, mind pointing out how you know that's from a base PS5 and not PS5Pro?

The official twitter account linked this video and specified as much.

Good to hear that it's running pretty well! It looks like the devs really tried hard to make the game optimized on all platforms, while avoiding cutting corners with the graphics. Because it still looks amazing on base ps5.

Apparently the game has like 400k preorders on steam alone so you're not that weird haha. It's shaping up quite well.

Oh now that's an oldie but goodie. Not heard that name in forever. I think I'll get it on sw2 cause a portable mode for this sort of game is neat.

Brawlman REALLY wants people to know that he is playing that game. He has posting that video in like every fucking thread on the forum. WE GET IT DUDE!

Not really. I have my excitements, and you have yours, and you can happily ignore my post, if it bothers you that much. I don't throw fit at every post or complaint you have over something trivial.

Hey I get it, I have a bunch of games I wanna shout from the rooftops about too. Everyone should play the Trails series. Remakes are out now so you can start from the beginning of the saga.

Second one's not out yet but they had a bunch of trailers, it coming out later this year, around fall. Trails beyond the horizon just came out a month and a half ago so they wanna give people some time to play that one I bet. And falcom is also making Kyoto Xanadu which is coming out in japan this summer, so they're busy.
