Just because these games came out at the same time does not mean they are competition. I do have over 1k hours in tarkov, and I do have to say. For a studio that spent years trying to do one thing, steal the Tarkov playerbase (because there is only one extraction shooter and it's called Escape From Tarkov). Yet they couldn't. They didn't even tempt me. Marathon makes no sense. If it was single player like System Shock remake maybe I would have bought it day 1.

I have no idea how long it's going to take people to really figure out what's really going on in the game or how to mix/max your characters because so much is hidden behind time sinks like your camp and reputation quests and the game explains very, very little to the player.
Apparently, in late game you can build your camp and send our your crew to passively farm skill points and abyss gear that you can't find anywhere else.

I genuinely can't tell if you're shitposting cause I've explored basically the entirety of Hernand before even finishing chapter 3 and there's like 4 instances where the game tells you it's something you can't do yet and in every single one of those instances there's a clear indication and a teleporter next to it so it is literal zero effort to just see that you can't do it and then move on leaving it for later. This issue I see people talk about the game gating exploration does not exist in my experience. Now maybe it's bad outside of Hernand I don't know but certainly there's barely anything really stopping you in Hernand.

>>736328491
On the one hand, there is enormous attention to the most minute and irrelevant details and on the other hand, they don't make anything clear or simple.
You can have quests that won't complete unless you've done a completely unrelated side quest that you haven't come across yet.
Like the machine in the spider castle just won't complete for me because I haven't picked up the quest for it.

Chapter 2.

Why are there all these bandit camps around Anvil Hill if there's a big ass fort right there? And do Wandering Freeblades do anything? I saved 2 people being held by bandits and a wandering freesword tried to join and help on the last fucking guy. And then I started having like 4-5 of them just walking the road randomly, but when I ride past them to the next village there are still 5 groups of fucking bandits on the road.

>>736329186
It's not about about how many hours you've put in it's that you've obviously barely done anything that wasn't the main story in a game where the main story is an afterthought and the actual game is the side shit. Yes you are explicitly not willing the engage with the game and then blaming the game like a retard. This is your fault. FUCKING EXPLORE DUMB CUNT. When you've spent good time not doing the main story then you can come to the conclusion that the game isn't for you cause that is what the game is about. You don't get to play the game wrong and then say the game is bad, no nigger that's your fault.

>>736328306
>Apparently, in late game you can build your camp and send our your crew to passively farm skill points and abyss gear that you can't find anywhere else.
This was obvious to me from the intro when I checked the codex and it divided the Greymanes into different job categories.

Also wow there are a fuck-ton of named Greyman NPCs for a defeated mercenary band.

I find it funny that RDR2 got so much rave dicksucking for essentially having a similar experience in some ways to Crimson Desert (slow opening, beautiful expansive world, weighty controls) but having far worse, less interesting, less varied gameplay across the entire game in tradeoff for having a hecking "deep, emotional" narrative with Arthur the tranny. Just goes to show you what normie brains value.

>>736330170
30 minutes in and I was having a blast.

>>736330614
RDR2 is legit one of the most boring games I've ever played. That's not even a contrarian statement I'm someone who enjoyed normalfag slop like TLOU and even TLOU2(if I ignore the shitty story) but RDR2 is just genuinely not fun to play.

>>736330614
Rockstar stories are shit. They always pull the same twist where a friend betrays you. There is good dialogue but inconsistent characterization. Unironically the entire series does not have a single "good" plot outside of san andreas. Crimson desert has a much more coherent story than anything rockstar has done. GTA5 is practically a fever dream.

>>736330693
The horse controls are horrible. Traumatizingly bad.

>>736330614
The writing and story presentation is objectively several times better.

>>736323716

>>736330985
None

>>736330985
It sounds like they're planning to just continually add stuff through updates to the base game.

100 hours in and I still don't have any elemental shit. The abyss puzzles are torture. I swear the controls revert back to launch day level responsiveness when I'm up there. The amount of times my guy has fallen off a platform...

>>736330614
Rdr2 has more style and is very focused on having a particular tone and is incredibly story heavy. I feel like the gameplay is secondary in rdr 2 to the vibes and story.
Crimson desert is all about the gameplay and systems and interplay between it all. It has a shit visual style (while being very technically food looking) and shit writing.

Theyre very different.

Been enjoying booming around and exploring shit, doing all the side content.

Thank you. I now have zero reason to buy this.

It's cool to see how this game is being actively patched in direct response to the feedback of players.
Guess I'll wait another month or two so that I can play the "done" version of the game.
Here's hoping some mod tools in the meanwhile.

The biggest "problem" I have with the game is that it looks amazing and feels good just to walk around.
I never want to run just because seeing the environment and NPCs look great. This is probably my favorite game in a long time.

Fuuuck I just refunded a couple days ago. Guess I'll have to beg on a Discord server like everyone else

How would you design this? 90% of the game is cinematic. You enter any of these areas, shit would break, or when you enter a room without quest it's empty, but the second you got the quest magically everything is happening, that shit sucks too. So what do you propose?

I assume the reason for such practice is because it makes quest making much more streamlined processed, there just in no way any of those quests can randomly break and most of them are self contained units, which would be also easy to duplicate, which only make sense considering the size of the game.

>>736329376
The amount of Greymanes I found I thought to myself "did anyone even die???"

>>736336438
maybe upon entering an area that's locked by a sidequest you are directed to the npc that starts the chain? not a gamedev so unsure if this is an unfeasible shitty idea. also unsure if that would feel too handholdy to players.
speaking of side quests, I wish there was more variety in finding the other greymanes instead of just going where marius tells you to and acquiring them instantly. let me find them attacking a fort or needing to be saved.

>>736336880
my thought was like what the fuck were the Goldleaf merchants and a number of these Greymanes doing where they somehow didn't hear about the big fuck-off camp we were making? Some isolated ones, sure, makes sense. Others literally chilling at the Goldleaf outposts? Makes no sense.

>>736329493
>he didn't use the horse
This is what happens when you don't put quest markers and yellow paint on everything.

>>736332514
What the fuck were they thinking in the first place with the inventory system when bugs and fish don't stack

>>736332027
Yeah and it’s shit for anyone who wants to actually play a video game and not watch an overrated movie game built for baby streamers

Man, I am honestly enjoying the shit out of this game. But for fuck's sake, I really wish some of it was not designed by schizophrenics. I had to go online to look up how to complete the give Rhett ore quest, because, like an absolute fool, like a total buffoon, I assumed that when he asked me to get him some ore that meant I had to get some ore, then give it to him. I'm sitting there wondering why the fuck I can't give this guy the ore that he asked me to get for him. That's because I'm an absolute goddamn idiot who doesn't understand that when he said "get me the ore", That meant I was supposed to give the ore to someone who wasn't him and who is nowhere near his location. Obviously! How could I have been so foolish!
Still though... great game!

>>736339901
The quest marker points you to the right guy. I don't blame you though, it makes no goddamn sense and I didn't even realize until I was walking through while doing something else and saw him on the minimap.

>>736339901
Yeah it's shizophrenic bs, but you can avoid that by enabling and folllowing the quest markers.

>>736339901
Yeah it's absolute schizo core. Kliff's voice actor gives 100% in every scene, delivering every line with full conviction; meanwhile, I, the player, have no idea why I'm doing what I'm doing the majority of the time, it's hilarious.

you have to spoonfeed experiences to consumers nowadays, especially since dopamine is so easy to get on the internet. I spent more time in RDR2's chapter 2 exploring, hunting, bringing provisions to camp, and RPing as a cowboy than most players even spent reaching the credits. but I know a lot of modern players cant make their own fun like that. hope CD devs understand what kind of audience they captured and don't waste time on story presentation if they make content expansions
